The Naval Militia.

Lieut.. Nihlack, who accompanied Assist
ant Secretary McAdoo in his trip OF inspec-
ton of the naval militia on the Atlantic
coast, reached Washington today. Mr..
McAdoo will return Saturday on the Dol
phin. While the naval militia was found
to be generally in good condition and CIV
ing promise of service in the future, the
inspecting officers were impressed with the
lack of uniformity In the organizations
caused by the radical differences In the
legislation of the various states. AS this
initiates strongly against the usefulness OF
the important adjunct to the navy II Is
nrohahle that an effort will be made to re-
move the irregularities by appeals to the
militia of the states to secure curative leg
islation.
The New York naval militia viii start on
;+s annual outing next Saturday, and, IL
thew do rot go aboard a naval vessel, Lieut..
Nihiack will be detailed to inspect them. D..

city streets and avenues, and should for no

H. w. Scammell protests against the ex-
tension of Huntington and 18th streets and
recommends straight extension of all
streets.
The heirs of Martin L. NoeYr object to
the widening of 10th street opposite Oak
Lawn terrace, because 1t is not imperative
that 18th street be widened and because
Columbia road is the main thoroughfar
for that section. If widened large property
interests would be destroyed.
r. L. Longstreet opposes the closing Of
Adams Mill road and requests a personal
hearing.
George W. Linhins protests against any
change in Prospect street.
VIM. F. Mattingly protests against the
proposed extension of New Jersey avenue.
Such an extension is an unsightly and radi-
cal detection. Concluding, he says:
Economy of expenditure harmony

the act of Congress and Objectionable i'm
position Of burdens upon property would,
l suggest, require this avenue to be pro-
longed in straight lines. and not be de-

Cloth Mills in Mexico.

MEXICO CITY, July 16.-Many print
cloth mills are running night and day, and
even now are unable to Supply orders. Ma
tive mills are finding an increase in busi-
ness as result of the depreciation in sill
yer, which renders Importation of ordinary
classes of print cloths excessively costly.
High exchange on the United States and
Europe protects native mills and, with the
existing high tariff, foreign competition is
almost impossible.

It has been found necessary to change
the design for the coming towers of the
big battle ships in order to afford more
room for the commanding officers. The
original plans provided for vertical slit
eighteen inches wide as an entrance to the
tower, 1t is now realized that an opening
of that width would not permit the en-
trance of some of our commanding officers
of generous girth, who might thus be
obliged to turn over the direction of the
ship in action to a more slender Junior. or
expose themselves to flying shot and shell
in the more commodious pilot house There
fore the plans have been modified SO to
make the entrance slit wider and of ellipti-
cal shape.

Mr.. Horr Starts In.

MI. hOrf starts In
Following is the opening statement of
Mr.. Horr:
Gentlemen: 1t Is agreed between Mr..
Harvey and myself that previous to en-
tering upon a general discussion each of
us shall make brief statement defining. in
a general way, the position he proposes to
occupy in this debate.
THE question which we are about to dis
cuss Is not only receiving very great atten-
ton among the people of the United States,
. but 1t is one that is also receiving some at
tention from the nations of the old world.
The question involves the kind of money
that shall be used by the people of the
United States, and has to do with laws
which will affect the business interests of
this nation.
1.-THE foundation of the discussion upon
which we are about to enter Is a small
book published by Mr.. Harvey. my oppo-
nent, and entitled Coins Financial School. >
1.-The real aim and object Of that book is
to convince the people of the United States
enter upon the free and unlimited coinage
of silvfier upon the old ratio Of 16 to l. The
wisdom of such course / dispute. Mf.
Harvey will still maintain the affirmative
Of that issue.
IT will state in the outset that from the
beginning to the end Of the book there is
hardly a proposition made to which give
my assent. I do not now remember ever
to have examined a book carefully In
which 1 found so few statements that I
consider worthy Of belief, and certainly
never saw so many absolute errors cram
med into so few pages.
