Admiral sclfridge's Flag Transfer
rcd 20 the SAN Francisco.


WASHINGTON. d. c., November IL
Admiral Selfridge cabled the Navy De-
partment to-day from smyrna that he had
transferred his flag from the Minneapolis
to the san Francisco. Both vessels are
provided with admirars quarters, and 1t
is left to Admiral Sefridge's discretion
which one he shall use. There is said 20
be no significance in the transfer, but
there is considerable speculation among
officers regarding the Unexpectedly long
stay Of the Mediterranean squadron In
one port. especially IN view Of the fact
that all the ships were kept moving from
port to port continually during the past
year. For over a month the four ships
under the Admirals command have swung
idly at anchor I'm Smyrna harbor. The
Minneapolis has been there since October
eth. the San Francisco and Cincinnati
since October nth. and the Bancroft ar
rived there the following day. october
18th This inactivity on the part of the
Bancroft, which was hurriedly prepared
for duty at ConstantinOple, and sent 10
sea on ten days notice last August, is not
explained. Perhaps the transfer OF the
Admirals flag may mean that his ships
are at last going 10 cruise.

FOR MILITARY INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS.

Washington, May (SpeciaD.-The House Com
mittee on Military Affairs has favoraby reported
Representative Payne's bill authorizing the Pres-
dent to detail military instructors at public
schools and State normal schools officers OF the
Army and Navy There has been no little opposi-
ton to tho measure by women of tho country. who
have urged. in petitions TO Congress- that the
proposition looked to the spreading OF a warlike
spirit among American boys. The Payne bill pro-
poses to extend the benefits OF former legislation

educational authorities thereof and when the

Previous legislation has generally confined the
selection Of officers for duty at universities and
colleges to those OF the Army. The Payne bill pro-
poses include officers OF the Navy. In the opinion
Of members OF the committee this departure Is

Heretofore the killing OF mountain lions has been
done in the interest OF stockmen who sought by
the payment of a given sum TO rid the country OF

calves and fat shoats too frequently led them to
imnlnge on the purse strings Of the rancher As
an article of food the genus felis has never held
