DEFENSELESS.
On the Sea We Are 4 Western China


Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
detenseless condition Of the Ameri-
can coast, which General Miles
recently elaborated with much pre-
cission and detail, is for the moment
the principal subject of conversation
among army and navy officers
Admiral John G. Walker. who
represents the progressive element
of the new navy, says that no great
country can protect itself without
some system of coast defense. He
believes a war between the United
States and a stronger foreign power
would demonstrate how lily this
country is prepared for such an en-
counter.
We are not prepared to engage in
war with any first class power. We
are in the position that China occu-
pied In the late war with Japan.
We have a vast population, great
wealth, boundless resources snd in
tense patriotism. But we can not
maintain an offensive or defensive
attitude against anyone of the half
dozen foreign countries.
New York and San Francisco
would be helpless against any one of
the half dozen powerful ironclads.
So far as the remaining cities are
concerned they have no protection
whatever.
Congress ought to make liberal
appropriations for coast defenses and
for additional ships of war. If We
had dozen battleships of the Indi.
ana class on the Atlantic coast We
could defy as powerful a maritime
country as Great Britain. We have
now four battleships beng built and
two others have been appropriated
for. We need at least seven more.
For the Pacific coast three battle.
ships would be sufficient.
We need more fighting ships
battleships. The battleship is to the
navy what the infantry is to the army
1t should be supplemented by tor
pedo boats, coast defense vessels and
swift cruisers just as the infantry is
made more effective by the employ
ment of the cavalry and artillery.
"In event of war doubt if Great
Britain could send half of her vessels
for she can not leave her interests
in other parts OF the world unpro-
tected. But even part of her
great navy would be sufficient TO
give us great trouble at the start at
least. On the other hand if we met
here with dozen powerful battle
ships on the Atlantic coast, with
such other defense as we possess We
could win the struggle. Meanwhile
we could throw 100000 men into
Canada within few weeks.

Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1895-10-11

New York, Oct. 8. - Lieutenant
Peary's colored servant, Matt Hender-
son, and Professor l.. l.. Dyche, of the
Kansas state university, arrived from
the Arctic regions this morning on the
steamship Silvia. Lieutenant Peary
and the other members of his party
who left Halifax yesterday by rail, are
expected to arrive in New York this
evening.
Professor Dyche, while reticent as to
the details of the expedition, admitted
that it had been a failure. He declared
Lieutenant Peary had not managed to
forge much further north than ON his
previous expedition. He would not
give any reason for the failure other
than the lack of food. When driven
back in the first attempt to reach the
North Pole, Peary decided to press for
ward in 1894. He had buried food in
the ice, but could not locate the cache
He was obliged to kill his dogs one by
one and feed them TO others. Dyche
and his party lived ON walrus meat
when they could get it.
The professor states emphatically
that the party would never have reach
ed America had it not been that when
just ON the verge Of starvation, Peary
and Henderson killed some musk oxen.
Professor Dyche brought back about
1000 specimens of Arctic fora and
fauna.

IN FAVOR OF SQUIRE.
The Washington Senator Won His Long.
Drawn-Out Suit.

Watertown, N. Y, Oct. 5.-Judge
Williams, Of the supreme court, today
gave an opinion in the celebrated suit
brought by Philo Osgood and others
against United States Senator Watson
9. Squire and others, involving the
title to between 81 900, 900 and 81, ,O00,-
900 worth Of property in the city of
Seattle. The judge decides in favor
of Senator Squire. The case has been
on trial more than year, and has ex-
cited wide interest. Originally Philo
Remington, the great typewriter man,
of Ilion, together with Philo Osgood,
Floyd Shepard, w. s. King and J. N.
Goodwin, bought the property in part
nership, Remington and Osgood ad-
vancing much of the money for the
purchase of the land. The title re-
mained theirs until 1868. Goodwin
and Osgood released to Remington,
subsequently, all their interests in the
property. July IL, 1876, Remington
decided the property to his son.in-law,
Watson G. Squire. for the sum of $685.
900. In 1898, King, Osgood and Shep-
ard, three of the original owners, made
a claim to an interest in the property
under the original agreement.
The attorneys were Ira Van Voor-
his, John Van Voorhis and William
A. Sutherland, of Rochester, for the
plaintiffs; and Hon. A. Mills, of Little
Falls, William Herman, of Utica. and
w. G. Tracy, of Syracuse, for the de-
PENDANTS. Judge Williams holds that
the partnership originally entered into
by the parties was partnership in
rame, but not in effect. He finds that
the sale to Squires was fair and valid,
and odrers final decision to be pre-
pared in accordance with the opinion,
dismissing the complaint with costs.

San Francisco, Oct. 4.--What the

ing the past fifteen years seems in dan
ger Of being taken from them, as the
railroad officials are considering the ad-
visibility Of charging for the trans
portation Of wheels, when accompanied

lis bicycle baggage2" is the ques-
tion which has agitated the railroad
authorities ever since cycling has as
snmed its present proportions.
The wheelmen cannot understand
why there should be any question in
the matter, as every passenger travel
ing on u first class ticket is entitled to
certain amount Of baggage-an
amount greatly in excess Of bicycle.
which at the present time seldom ex-
ceeds twenty-five pounds in weight.
The railroads in the northern part
OF America decided some time since to
charge for bicycles, said T. II. Good
man when questioned regarding the
matter. "What are classed as the
Southern roads. which would include
all IN this state, have had the question
in consideration and | cannot say when
IL will be decided, perhaps in two
weeks, and again it might not be set

At the meeting Of the associated
clubs on Saturday evening the question
will be discussed, and efforts will
probably be made to effect an amicable
settlement Of the matter with the rail-
roads.

London, Oct. 3.-A dispatch to the
Globe, published this afternoon, from
Madrid, confirms the report from Ha-

gents at Portrere, Las Vergas, near
Santa Espiritus, province of Santa
Clara. The Globe dispatch says that
a Spanish column, commanded by Col
onel Rubin, met 1900 insurgents under
the command of Sanchez, Serafin and
Castillo, and that the government
troops dislodged the enemy, killed for
ty insurgents and wounded many
others, including Seratin and Sanchez.
The government troops only sustained
the loss of eleven, including Colone
Rubin. 1t is further stated that thir
teen of the followers of Sanchez after
ward surrendered.

Seattle May Build Them.

Seattle, Oct. 4.-Among the bids for
the construction of six new gunboats
opened at the navy department yester-
day, the lowest bid for two single
screw vessels was by the Detroit Dry
dock Company, and it was said there
would be a question as to awarding
the contract TO that firm, because of
the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, which provides that
ships of war cannot be built on the
Great Lakes, although intended for
service ON the sea. This question is
already answered. If the Detroit Dry
dock Company secures the contract, as
it undoubtedly will, because its bid is
the lowest, the two single-screw gun
boats will be built at Seattle. There
has been representative of the COM
pany in this city for nearly year, and
today he said that it was the intention
of the company to build shipbuilding
yards here if this contract were secured,
and this would be but the start of a
big plant. For the first two boats the
machinery will be made at the Detroit
yard and shipped to this point, the rest
OF the work being done here. The De-
troit Drydock Company is a wealthy
Michigan corporation. Its capital is
81, 900, 900, and it has no debts. Its
president is Hugh Mcmillan, brother
of Senator Mcmillan, and these two
gentlemen, together with Alexander A.
1
McVittie and Frank E. Kirby, are the
principal shareholders.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-Dan Stuart has
sent to Chicago for pneumatic ring to
be used at the Corbett- Fitzsimmons
contest. The ring is stakeless and the
upper rope is upon the same principle
as the tire ON a bicycle. On the floor
is big rubber mat. which can be in
fiated just sufficient to make it springy
to the feet of the boxers and yet not
retard their movements. A fall on the
pneumatic mat or against the rope
could not result in injury.
