Crew OF the Monterey Protest Against
Feeding bv Contract.
VALLEJO, CAL, March l2.-The crew
of the Monterey are up in arms against
the recent oruer of the secretary of the
navy that the crew OF that vessel SUBJ
sist solely on food procured by the de-
partment on contract from the lowest
bidder, and issued in the form of ra-
tions daily, by the paymaster of the
ship. A similar order concerning the
Olympia will go into force on the 10Th
inst. Heretofore an indefinite contract
and ration SYSTEM has been existent,
but it was always optional with the
men whether they ate only what the
government provided or elaborated and
modified their bill Of fare when possible.
Every enlisted man in the navy is al
lowed 30 cents a day for ration money,
and heretofore he had the privilege Of
letting the department. keep this 30
cents and feed him three times day. or
drawing it out in the form of SO a
month and boarding on shore or furnish
ing their mess to suit the fancy and
purse. By this means Jack lived about
as well as regards the freshness
and quality Of his meat, potatoes, vege-
tables, bread, not to speak Of canned
and bottled goods, as his captain. Sec
rotary Herbert's order has tied the men
down to what they consider unneces-
sarily narrow limits. They will be per-
mitted only to eat at certain hours, to
take only certain quantity of each az
ticle, and the bill Of fare will be I'M
changeable. The sailors say that pay
masters and other officers now make a
commission on the purchase of supplies.
Quite a number have deserted the
Olympia because of this commissary
change.

SIOUX FALLS, March l2.-There is
every probability that the state militia
will have to be disbanded in South Da-
kota. The legislature two years ago
appropriated $4,000 for the state militia,
and then there was considerable discon-
tent and narrow escapes from dlsband-
ing in several companies. Now, at the
last minute, in the anxiety to cut the
appropriations to the minimum, the
leg stature appropriated q paltry $500
for the militia. The companies are far

Some Cleveland Women Object to Ono
Feature If an Election Law.
CLEVELAND, March LIT is prob
able that before the spring election
takes place, the women voters OF this
city will agree upon some united action
in refusing to state their ages when
casting their ballots for members Of the
school council. Many ladies talk
strongly of testing the law upon the
point.
A woman prominent in the political
agitation, said, when questioned about
the matter, that decision would I'M
doubtedly be sought from the proper
authorities.
"Therc are more persons III this OBJ
jective mood than you may Think She
said. Especially among the unmarried
women is this sentiment manifest. 1t
is enough for voter to say that she IS
over 81. 1t is nobody's business how
much older she is, so that she is on tho
right side of that line.

New York.
NEW YORK, March 12.-Assistant
Postmaster Gaylor has collected some
statistics with regard to dead letters in
the New York postoface. He thinks
that in quarter an average of $1,000
dead letters sent by correspondents in
the United States accumulate in the
New York postoffice. Of the foreign
correspondents to contribute to the
dead letters, the Italians are the worst.
The addresses on Italian letters are
rarely explicit and often undecipherable.
The largest number Of dead letters in
the foreign mail comes from Germany.
This is due, not toneglect or ignorance,
but to the large German mails. In the
last three months s, 700 German, 1000
Italian, 1900 Russian, 1000 French and
400 Spanish letters could not be de-
ivered.

to connect the mainland of the state of;
Washington with the island of Vancou-:
yer by u ferry, built to carry across the:
cars, to make q landing short way out:
of Victoria and run into the city
Though the scheme is III assured thing
there is diversity Of opinion as to the:
route to be taken. One idea is to run the:
proposed ferry from FaIrhaven to Cor:
don Head, passing south of Lumm island:
and north of Cypress and Blakely islands:
between Shaw and Orcas island. and
north of San Juan. TINS route is IL long
ono and that is the objection against it.
The other route would br from Ana
cor,es, to be run between Decatur and
Blal,cly islands to Victor a. There is!
still another route, and that is to give
