Mems Fashions.

Up to a month ago it was fairly
settled fact that the flowing end
four-in-hand would continue in fav-
or, at least another month, and the
leading city dealers had placed their
orders accordingly, when suddenly
the "twice around effect" vas launch
ed on the unsuspecting retailers. In
England it is now part of the prop
er riding outfit, and is known as
the "hunting scarf,
Color shirts are in fashion as
much as ever. Collars to match the
shirts are entirely discarded, aud
white collars are the proper wear,
They are largely made fast to the
shirts. Cuffs, which should have
square points and made for links,
must match the material and be
fastened to the shirt
The standing collars have either
bent or turned points; both are in
style. These collars should have
no gloss, but the finish must be
dead.
Gentlemen who wear fancy shirts
should be particular in the selection
of colors.

Hurt by Powder Explosion.

Mr.. James Jackson and mis- little
son Irwin were badly burned about
the face and head OH Tuesday by
the explosion of powder in a can
which Mr. J, was opening. Il seems
that to open the can, which was of
metal, Mr.. Jackson was using a
hammer and chiseI, the boy holding
the can. Presumably a spark Of fire
was struck by the chiseI into the
powder, about a pound, ignitlng it.
The boy is most severely burned,
but both will probably recover.

time ofpeace. Wehavenow completed and
IN process of construction but four first
class battleships and but few torpedo
boats. If we are to have q navy for war
like operations, offensive and defensive, we
certainly ought to increase both the num-
Der of battleships and torpedo boats. I
recommend that provision be made for the
construction of additional battleships and
torpedo boats.
The secretary recommends the manu-
facture not only Of reserve supply Of
ordnance and ordnance material for ships
Of the navy but also a supply for the
auxiliary fleet. Guns and their appurte-
nances should be provided and kept on
hand for both these purposes. We have
not today a single gun that could be put
on the ships Paris or New York of the
International Navigation company, or any
other ship of our reserve navy.
The manufacture of guns at the WASH
ington navy yard is proceeding satisfactor-
lily and none of our new ships will be re-
quired to wait for their guns or ordnance
equipment.
Both the secretary of the navy and the
secretary OF the treasury recommend the
transfer of the work Of the coast survey
proper to the navy department.. I heartily
concur in this recommendation.

Its Report Recommended to the Favor.
abl Condition of Congress.
BY virtue Of a statute of the United:
States, passed in 1888, I appointed in July
last, Hon. John D.. Herman Of the State OF
New York, and Hon. Nicholas E. Worth.
ington Of the State Of Illinois, to form.
with Hon. Carroll d. Wright, commits,
sioner of labor, who was designated BY.
said statute, commission for the purpose:
OF making careful inquiry into the causes
OF the controversies between certain rail.
roads and their employees, which resulted:
in an extensive and destructive strike
accompanied by much violence and dan.
gerous disturbance, with considerable loss
OF life and great destruction of property.
The report of the commissioners has.
been submitted to me and will be submit
ted to congress with the evidence taken.
upon their investigation.
Their work has been well done and THEN
standing and intelligence give assurance
that the report and suggestions they make
are worthy of careful consideration.

Thu Recommendation contained in thu
report for 1898, that the vicious system.o
promiscnous free distribution of its de.
partmen4al documents be abandoned il
again urged. These publications MAY
well be furnished without cost to public:
libraries, educational institutions, and the
officers and libraries of states and of the
federal governments. But from all indi
vidual applying for them a price covering
the cost of the document asked for should
be required.
The secretary also again recommends.
the gratuitous distribution of seeds, anc
that no money be appropriated for that
purpose except to experiment stations.
The advantages of civil service reform
are constantly more apparent Recent.ex-
tensions have been made in classified lists.
and more will soon follow.
The establishment of a national board
OF health is also strongly recommended,
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1894-12-07

due to the success III working OF the plan
inaugrrating circuit courts OF appeals. In
regard to these tribunals the suggestion
issmade, in quarters entitled to the high
est consideration, that an additional Judge
for each circuit would greatly strengthen
these courts and the confidence reposed in
their adjudications, and that such addi-
ton would not create a greater force of
Judges than the increasing bushes OF such
courts requires. | commend the sugges-
ton to the careful consideration of con-
gress.
Other Important Topics.
Other important topics are adverted to
IN the report accompanied by recommend
ations, many of which have been treated
at large in previous messages, and at this
time therefore need only be named. ire
fer to the abolition of the fee system as a
measure of compensation to federal off
GERS; the enlargement of the powers of
United States commissio2e rs, at least in
the territories, the allowance of writs Of
error in criminal cases on behalf of the
United States and the establishing of
degrees in the crime Of murder. The es-
Enlistment of q federal court in the In
dian Territory is also strongly recon-
mended.
Another subject of pressing moment re-
ferred to by the attorney general is the re-
organization of the Union Pacific Railway
company on a basis equitable as regards
all private interests and as favorable to
the government as existing conditions will
permit. The operation Of a railroad by
court through a receiver is an anomalous
state of things which should be termin-
ated, on all grounds public and private, at
the earliest possible moment.
Federal Prisons.
Eight years ago, in my annual message.
L urged upon congress as strongly as ]
could the location and construction of two
prisons for the confinement of u. S. pris-
oners. A similar recommendation has
been made from time to time since, and a
few years ago a law was passed providing
for the selection of sites for three such in
situations. No appropriation has how
ever been made to carry the act into effect.
and the old and discreditable condition
still exists. "A

NEEDS AMENDING.
Tariff Act Passed by the Last Congress.
MOI Satisfactory.

Tariff Act Passed by the Last Congress,
@ Not Satisfactory.
The tariff act passed at the last session
OF congress needs important amendments.
II it is to be executed effectively and with
certainty. In addition to such necessary,
amendments as will change rates of duty.
am still very decidedly in favor of put
ting coal and iron upon the free list.
So far as the sugar schedules concerned,
l.would be glad under existing aggrava-
lions to see every particle of ditferential.
duty in favor of refined sugar stricken out
OF tariff law. If with all the favor
now accorded the sugar refining interest,
in our tariff laws it still languishes to the
extent of closing refineries and thousands
OF discharged workmen it would seem to-.
present a hopeless case for reasonable leg
islative aid.
Favors Free American Registry.
The ancient provision of our law deny
ing American registry to ships built.
abroad and owned by Americans appears.
in the light of present conditions, not
only to be a failure for good at every port.
but to be nearer a relic of barbarisrn than
anything that exists under the permission
of a statute of the United States. L,
earnestly recommend it's prompt repeal.

205, 7l2.65. The sum necessary to meet
pension expenditures for the year ending
June 20, 1898, is estimated at $14O, 900, 900.
Should Soon Reach the Limit,
The commissioner of pensions is of the
opinion that the year 1895 being the Both
after the close of the war of the rebellion
must, according to all sensible human cal
culation, see the highest limit of the PEN
sion roll, and after a year it must begin to
decline.
increased more than 10000 during the
year. A large proportion Of the new claims
filed are for increase Of pension by those
now on the rolls.
The number of certificates issued was
6O.213.
The names dropped from the rolls for all
causes during the year numbered 81, 1851.
Among our pensioners are 9 widows and
y daughters of soldiers of the Revolution
IS survivors of the war of 1872.
Pureation Was Necessary.
The barefaced and extensive pension
frauds exposed under the direction of the
courageous and generous veteran soldier
now at the head of the bureau leave no
room for the claim that no purgation of
U pension rolls was needed or that con-
tinued vigilance and prompt action are
not necessary to the same end.
The accusation chat an effort to detect
pension frauds is evidence of unfriendli-
ness toward our worthy veterans and a
denial of ther claims to the generosity of
the government suggests an unfortunate
indifference to the commission of n Of
f5nse which has for it's motive the secur-
ing of a pension and indicates a willing
ness to be blind to the existence of mean
and treacherous crimes which play upon
demagogic fears and make sport of the pa
trlotic impulse of a grateful people.
