FINDS THAT ARE VALUELESS

Treasury Volumes Sold to Dealers

Almost daily there is turned into the
| Treasury Department from one to a half
dozen pages OF what at one time con.
stituted portion of the official records,

The contributions are made in the belief

The sUpposition entertained in each in
stance is that the Secretary of the Treasury
possesses no authority to have any portion
OF the records destroyed and that CON-
seqrently any of them found outside the
building must have been surreptitiously
obtained, and presumably for some fraudu-
lcntt purpose.

James and Michael Mcdonald, two we'll

figured in police court cases, were arraigned
before Judge Mills this morning ON a charge
of assault upon their aged mother and re-

The two men had been out on spree

The excitement due here to the ex-

enhanced by the action of the government
yesterday. The chief of the navy, Admiral
Solier, addressed a letter to the minister
OF war, which was regarded as highly

was at once decrecd. The dismissal is
applauded by all parties.
The officer who wilItake Admiral Solier's
place as chief of the naval staff is Capt
Manuel Garcia, who has been appointed
because he bears the reputation of a trave
and particularly competent man.
1t Is the avowed purpose of the govern

PENIS FOOTBALL TEAM.
Some Promising New Men at Work
at Grimsby.


Grimsby Park, Ont, Aug. 26.-Some
of the University of PENNSYLVANIA foot
ball candidates stationed here did the first
work OF the season Saturday afternoon.
The practice was very light, and only lasted
few minutes. A few punts were made,
the ends following alone down the field,
bat doing no tackling. After few minutes
OF this practice the ball was passed from
one to the other, in order to get the men
used to catching and falling on theban.
Only three new men are here yet, two
of whom, Darrah and Boyle. will try for
ends, and the third. Stearns will try for
tackle. All three give promise of being
very useful men. Stearns weighs about
$50 pounds, and has played on une OF the
Wilkesbarre teams for two years. Boyle
has also played some football before, so
that these men ought to develop very
rapidly. To Darrah the game is entirely
new, but he takes TO athletics naturally,
and may make very good record before
the season closes. He is n very strong
man and is in pretty good condition on
account of having trained all spring with
the Freshman crew. All the old men think
these new ones viii make q strong bid for
places on the regular team. and should they
fail they will make excellent substitutes.
All the men who go into summer training
are expected to be here by next Friday
afternoon, and after that time the work
will begin in earnest. However, there
will be but little, il any, regular practice.
1t will be similar work to that done last
year at Broadwater, which was simply
punting, tackling, and falling on the ball.
This kind of work hardened the men
very successfully last year, as was shown
by the fact that not one man wa hurt dur
ing the whole football season. While
such good results can hardly be expected
again, still it is believed that the acci-
dents will be reduced to q minimum.

United States Naval Service.

The examination to which an applicant
for the position of able seaman in the United
States service must be subjected is suffi-
ciently searching to bar out a large proper
ton of the candidates at the outset. They
must have fair knowledge of the ailors
craft. must be American citizens, or signify
their intention of becoming naturalized
and must be of physicabl development and
stamina above the average.
Naturally enough, it has been found that
men fond of life at sea who possess these
qualifications prefer the merchant marine
service, where the pay is more liberal and
the lines of nautical duty are more clearly
drawn. The seaman on board of a United
States warship is liable at any time to be
called upon to act as coalpasser in the
fire-ro of the vessel, n service for which
he receives extra compensation at the rate
of 33 cents day. As his regular pay is $24
per month, he would, while serving as a
stoker receive much less than is paid for
similar service on nmerchantvessels, thccoal-
passers of which earn from $40 to $50 per
month.
1t is not likely, however, that the arduous
work and multiform duties of the crew of
modern war vessel are the most formitla BILE
obstacles to the enlistment Of able seamen
in the American service. The Government
can afford to pay, and will eventually be
constrained to pay, as much for marine
service as is paid by private citizens engaged
in ocean commerce. The real difficulty in
manning warships is probably to he found
in the rules of the service, which bar the way
to promotion OF any enlisted man, however
brave, devoted to duty or skillful he may
be. No enlisted man in the American navy
can rise above the rank of petty warrant.
officer, no matter what his capacity or
attainments. 1t is scarcely surprising,
under uch conditions, that American
eamen should avoid naval service and seek
promotion in the merch ant marine.

WON'T AID ENGLISH ATHLETES.
Crack Irishmen Say They Would Get
No Credit IL They Did.

No Credit II They Did.
The Dublin, Ireland sport" does not
favor Irish athletes joining the British team
that is to come to this country soon. The
team to represent the London Athletic Club
has been published, and includes Horgan,
kiely, and Ryan, but it is hardly likely
they will go, says this paper.
Perhaps one might, but it is not point
about which there is likely to be any great
enthusiasm in Irish athletic circles. Their
presence would probably turn the tide in
favor Of London, and should the victory
come off, wonder to whom would the
credit be given? While again they would
practically be opposing their own country
men. for very large percentage Of the
New York representatives will be Irish
men, or the descendants OF Irishmen.
OF course, it would he interesting to have
it decided whether Mitchell is better
hammer -thro wer than Kiely, Sweeney a
better jumper than Ryan, or Gray better
shot-putter than Horgan."
