THE NAVAL MILITIA.
Cruises for July--What States Support
Naval Forces.

One duty which Admiral Bunce's
squadron will be called upon to perform
this summer is that OF giving a cruise at
sea to the naval militia OF such States as
desire IL, and for this purpose q period
In the early part OF July is to be set apart.
II Is recognized that one of the best
methods OF accustoming these organiza-
tions to duties aboard ship, as distinct
from the functions Of land force, is to
have them go to sea once year; and ac-
cordingly, Assistant Secretary McAdoo is
now arranging for this purpose a con-
venient program.
The Senate's concurrence In the pro-
vision made by the House OF $50, COO for
the naval militia doubles the appropria-
tion hitherto obtained. This cannot fail
to be matter Of great.importance to the
organizations. The existing allotment is
s25,OOO, OF which $1,000 is set aside for
the purchase OF books. The amount
actually received per man has been stead
lily decreasing with the growth OF the
naval militia. Thus last year the appor-
tionment allowed S9. 09 per man, while
this year 1t is only SZ19. Doubling
this last sum will make large difference
IN. resources, and even the deduction for
such increases In numbers as may be-
made this year will still leave a large
average.
IL may SURPRISE some persons 10 learn
that New York does not have the largest
force OF naval militia. Massac hnsetts is
hrst., with A officers, and 439 men, then
comes California, with 20 officers and All
men, closely followed by Illinois, with
40 officers and 1896 men, while New York
numbers "a officers and 3s3 men. 1t is
remarka Dle, that New Jersey, although so
much less .populous than the Empire
State, shows 28 officers and 212 men in
her militia. The other nine States, taken
in order OF size of organization, namely.
Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Rhode Island,
PENNSYLVANIA, Georgia, make upa total
OF 293 officers and 1899 enlisted men on
April 1, 1896. for the Ia States.
Of these states 10 were represented at
the late convention held at baltimore. 1t
was noted at that convention that the
Senate amendments to the navy bill made
the appropriation for the naval militia
applicable to. outfits for signalling and
for the fitting up of pulling boats to be
used in reconnoissances along tha coast.
The preference which, ,seems:to be mani
tested for::this kind OF work over that of
cruising at sea on war ships, will perhaps
aid the new movement for founding a
distinct organization, to be composed OF
scattering men and .of those whose oc-
cupations are allied to a naval career.
However, IL Is conceded that the naval
militia has sphere OF its own.

HANLAN ON YALe's CHANCES.
Her Crew Is Strong and Brave and It's
Form Excellent, but

There Is, perhaps, no better Judge Of
rowing ventures than the veteran oars
man Hanlan. In recent issue Of the
Philadelphia Press ho has carefully sum-
med up the pros and cons Of the question,
"Will Yale win at Henleyp" The net re-
suit Of his figuring is not particularly en-
couraging to Yale.
although Yale has an extraordinarily
strong crew." he concludes, "tbey have
no sure thing by any means. Indeed, sho
will be entitled TO the greate0 possible
credit IL she wins. Yale will meet tho
picked men Of all England. Yale has but
1900 to draw from, whilc England has at
least ten times that number TO select from.
These are not only from the universities
and colleges, but from post graduates-and
their name is logion--and tho trained ath-
letes of the kingdom. British pride this
year, above all years, will bring her best
mon to tho front, and tho brainiest, olev-
crest, swftcst, gamest oarsmen of Eng
land will be pitted against Yale. III, In
the face of these conditions, Captain Tread
way and his gallant crew force tho prov
of their shell across the line at Henley in
advance OF all competitors, they will have
achieved n victory unparalleled in the MIS-
tory Of college sports.
The course at Henley Is ono mile and
$50 yards In length. The race will bo
practically squirt from start TO finish.
As tho Yale boys are used 20 four mile
stretches, they ought 60 bo able TO negoti-
nte the distance without difficulty. All
they have TO do Is to study the river cur
rents I'm which the Thames -ahounds and
make the most Of them. There are many
fine crews upon both the Thames and the
Tyne, but outside of the picked men Of
Oxford and Cambridge the famous Lean
der and London Rowing club oights--
madc up generally of university graduntcs
will be their most dangerous rivals.
They are mon OF brawn, brain, skill and
UNFOLDING courage as well as rare oxpe-
Sienoe."

the teaching too often seems to be that

breaking down and wrecking things. In
the story OF great financial operations we
often note the profit OF the one operator
secured at the expense OF hundreds OF
other individuals, and the smashing OF
property interests. But AUSTIN CoRBIN
became rich by lettering tho conditions
Of other people and OF properties. Many
others than himself profited vastly by his
enterprise and the investment of his
capital. His strokes OF finance made gar

path not through prosperity, but of
prosperity. He was an imperial prince OF
promoters. He was big, hearty man,
whose views and ideas were as big and
hearty as his physique. He was Rhode

pride In him. His taking away is loss
to his country and to the interests OF
mankind.

That the work of the Benevolent
Aid society for the poor Of our city
is not appreciated as it should be is
evident from the attendance at the
charity ball and supper which it
gave at the Gross opera house Thurs
day evening. AS has been previously
stated the society have received ap-
plicati tons for assistance from large
number of people who are actually
in want for the necessities oflife, and
nearly $500 was required for their
relief. The society hoped to raise
that amount by a ball and supper
and save the work Of q canvass Of
the city for donations. In this they
were greatly disappointed. for tue
receipts were less than One-third of
that amount, and the result is that
some very needy persons who de-
serving of aid will be compelled to
go without assistance. To the num-
Der of people who turned out and
assisted the society is duly thankful.
and it would seem from the small
attendance last night that there are
a large number of our people who
may consider charity beautiful
work., but are willing to stay at
home and admire that virtue in
their neighbor rather than go to
any trouble or expense themselves.
The work of the Benevolent Aid So
eiety in this city is deserving Of great
praise, but the members think that
their efforts for the relief OF the SUI
fering received scant recognition last
night.

The term Of X. w. B0ndy, Of Clith-
erall. as member of the state board
of equalization for the Seventh Judi
cial district, expires this month.
Mr.. Bondy has served but one term.
and there is quite a little curiosity
to see whether Gov. Clough will
favor him with second term. The
district which Mr.. Rondy looks after
includes Clay, Becker, Otter Tail.
Stearns, Benton, Morrison, Todd i,
Pope and Mile Laos counties. and is
the largest in the state.-Fcrgus
Falls Journal.
Morrison county people have urged
tine appointment Of n local citizen on
the state board OF equalization this
year. This district is entitled to
only one man, and there is "quite n
little curiosity" here as to the out
come. The state board annually
takes whack ut one of the most
important Industries in the county,
and the only way to get justice at
the hands Of the state board seems
TO lie through u member familiar
with the conditions. Morrison coun-
ty wants it; that is ADJUST wants
it. The precedent of having no
members of q state board from Nor
rison county is 50 wei! established
that any hope seems useless now.
