Much 10 said in these days about tina
want of obedience to parental authority
displayed by the rising generation, but
an incident In which the contrary spir'
1t was manifested Is narrated by q
prominent Western lawyer.
His 12-year-old son, q boy of grea,
spirit but with no oyerabundance OF
strength. went to pass a vacation with
a cousin who lived on the banks Of q
broad river. His father, In his parting
instructions, placed one restriction upon
the boys amusements during his visit
II don't want you to go out in your
cousins canoe" he said, firmly. "They
are used to the water. but you are
not. and you haven't learned to sit still
anywhere, as yet. You'll be there only
a week, and with all the other amuge'
Inents the boys have. and the horses
and dogs. you can afford to let the canoe
alone for this time. and keep your
mother from worrying all the while
you're away"
The boy readily gave the desired
promise. On his return he was enthu
slastic ovsr the pleasures he had en-
Joyed.
And / didn't mind canoeing q BIZ
pa" he said, addressing his careful
parent with q beaming smile. "Th'
boys taught me how to swim, and tbs
only time they used the canoe was tht
last day to go over 10 the other shore
But / remembered my promise. and

Four Steel Turrets to BE Erected on
Romer Shoal,

Four Steel Turrets to BE Erected on
Romer Shoal.
Naval men are wondering which
would fare the worse, in event of hostil,
flies between John Bull and Uncle Sam,
the great cities on the big lakes or the
seaport towns. There Is a unanimous
belief, and it has been freely expressed
of late, that not one of the large cities
on the Atlantic coast Is even moder-
ately well protected from assault by
Great Britain, and the same can be
said of the lake cities. Not only are
the defenses weak. but there is a lack
of modern guns at all Of the cities.
The new defenses for New York
spoken of comprise four steel turrets
to stand upon the Romer shoal. The
site is peculiarly suitable for defensive
purposes. 1t lies on a line between
Sandy Hook and Coney Island light, a
little nearer the former than the latter.
The shallower parts Of the shoal ex-
tend about a mile and a half on a north
west and southeast line, with a varying
width of from o%ne-quarter to one-half
a mile, within which limits the average
depth Of water at low tide is about nine
fleet, although in spots it shadows TO
three or four feet.
On a line running about east-norrh-
EAST ard west-southwest, across Romer
shoal, according to this design. four
steel turrets are to be set up. The old
method of building a foundation in
shallow water by throwing down loose
rock and then placing concrete blocks
bn top of this rip-rap work will prob
ably not now be adopted. 1t is ex.

THE NAVAL BILL PASSED.
1t is Substantially as 1t Was Reported
from the Committee.

Washington,M May 2.-After weeks
debate, which has taken a wide range.
the Senate, to-day passed the Naval
Appropriation bill. The entire day
was given up to the subject A large
part of the time set apart for general
debate was devoted to political ques-
tions, foreign to the immediate sub
iect. This was participated in by Mr.
Wolcott, who complained of an extrav-
agance in governmental expenditure,
which would continue the issuance
of bonds; by Mr.. German, who accus-
ed the administration of an undue in-
terest in the elections in Maryland last
fall, and by Messrs. Lodge, Hawley and
Villas
The bill as it passed is subtantiallv
as it was reported from the committee
on Appropriations, except for the re-
duction of the battleships from four
to two. The Senate refused to accept
Mr. Chambers amendment changing
the number and the character Of the
torpedo boats, but agreed to the change
providing for the construction Of three
of these vessels ON the Pacific coast.
The Senate refused to decrease the
number Of new seamen authorized by
the House bill. Mr.. Hill succeeded in
securing an amendment authorizing

protection of persons attending re-
gettas.

RANKRUPrcY Bill PASSED.
Bill Disposed Of by the
House After Five Days Debate.

House After Five Days Debate.
Washington, May 2.--The House to-
day after five days debate, passed the
Henderson bill, to establish a uniform
system Of bankruptcy by a vote Of l51
to 81.
The majority in favor of the bill was
greater than its friends anticipated,
owing largely to the fact that quite IA
number of members, who desired only
a voluntary bankrupt bill, after being
defeated, voted for the measure as re-
ported. There were but two amcnd-
ments, one unimportant, the other
making the nOn-payment of note
for thirty days an act of bankruptcy.
Two substitutes for the bill, both elm
mating the Involuntary features, were
defeated, one by a vote of SO to 12O. the
other 112 to 128.
The bill. as passed, is based upon the
Torrey Bankruptcy bill, which has
been urged before Congress for several
years 1t provides for both voluntary
and involuntary bankruptcy Under
its terms. there are eight acts for
which debtor can be forced into in
voluntary bankruptcy, as follows:
(I). If a person has concealed HIM
self with intent to defeat his creditors
for forty-eight hours.
(2.) Failed for thirty days while in
solvent to secure the release Of any
property levied upon for $500 or over.
CD Made transfer of any of his
property with intent to defeat his
creditors.
a. Made an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors.
(5). Made, while insolvent, a transfer
Of any Of his property for the purpose
of giving preference.
co. Procured or suffered Judgment
