NAVAL PROGRAM OF ENGLAND
That Nation Proposes to Remain IA
the Top of Sea Fighters.

London March 2.--Mr. Goschen
first lord Of the admiralty, presented
the naval program in the house of
commons today. He said the estimates
of the admiralty were not proposed
with any feeling of alarm, although he
hoped he might be relieved from the
necessity of dwelling upon the crit
zeal nature of the times. In any case
the first lord of the admiralty hoped
the estimates proposed would be ac-
copied by the country as adequate for
the occasion. Inr increased number
of ships must necessarily be followed
by expenditures in various directions
1t meant more ornaments, officers, sea-
men, marines, engineers and ratings Of
every kind, entailing more centers for
training hospitals and barracks.
Continuing, Mr.. GosChen said the ad-
miralty proposed to increase the navy
by 1900 Seamen, etc, and by 500 extra
marines. For guns aud ammunition,
the admiralty proposed a supplement-
airy estimate Of 200 900 pounds for the
ensuing year and for the fiscal year the
admiralty proposed an increase Of $780,
900 pounds. The admiralty also pro-
posed an increase OF 2,250,000 pounds
for docks and explained that the pro-
posed dock work would increase the
amount of S,9S0,OO0 pounds, provided
by the last estimates, to $4,000 900
pounds and the chancellor OF the ex-
cheQuer had placed the surplus, after
satisfactory supplementary estimates
had been applied TO these works.
GosChen said that the increase for
the coming year would be: For men,
1000 pounds; shipbuilding, 10000
pounds; ordnance, $4,000 pounds; new
works. 10000 pounds; other works, A.
900 pounds; a total Of 3 900 pounds.
The total estimates for this year
would be q, 822, 000 In conclusion Mr..
Goschen said: whether Great Brit
ain In isolated or not; whether in any
tremendous strain she should bear the
whole burden alone or II general dis
turbances should take place side by
side with the powers, the British peo-
pie with their fleet should represent
self-reliance."

and took the wrappings from the
statue. No arrangements for a formal
unwilling had been made, and Judge
Losey. who represented the state of
Wisconsin, which is the donor, con-
cluded that the ceremony might be dis
pensed with. After the demonstration
by a crank who was arrested yesterday
it was feared that a public gathering
about the statue might be attended by
some unpleasant incident.
There will, however, be speeches in
the senate Friday or Saturday by Sena
tor Mitchell and others upon Father
Marquette, and possibly some members
of the Wisconsin delegation in the
house will pay tribute to the eminent
pioneer and missionary. Captain Gar
den Of the capitol police has heard that
threats have been made to deface the
statue and has instructed his men to
watch it night and day.

Ex-SaIvation Army Commander
States His Position.
FOR INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT
lie thinks tho United States Are Large
Enough for Two Salvation
Armies.

New York, March 1.-Ballington
Booth, ex-commander of the Salvation
Army in the United States, gave a
statement tonight which is in part as
follows
Being continually pressed on all
sides to state definitely what action |
will take, / desire to make known our
present position. God has called US TO
work for Him. We dare not, therefore,
remain idle. We have also at heart
the interests Of our country which SO
loudly calls to US to continue our ms
sion.
Seeing that the people Of the United
States, in an urgent and unmistaka-
BILE manner, have voiced their desire
that we should inaugurate q movement
affording US an opportunity to continue
our labors for the uplifting OF the I'M
churched and unchristian people Of our
country, and as there appears to be no
alternative between this course and re-
firing from public service, we have de-
cided on the former course Of action.
TT is furthest from our desire that q
new and independent movement should
be hostile to the one that we have la
bored so long and hard to uplift. The
United States, with its vast and ever
increasing population, should offer am
pie room for such efforts without un-
christian warning.
I'VE can not at this juncture, over
done in body and overstrained In nerve,
give out the date when we shall resume
public work"

A WHEAT ELEVATOR BURNED
Contained Over One Million Bushels of
Prime Cereal.

Minneapolis, March 2.--Elevator A,
owned by the Minneapolis Terminal Co.,
and operated by G. w. Van Dusen,
burned this morning, and is a total loss.
There were 1,O75,000 bushels Of wheat in
the building, mostly No. / northern,
worth about $500 600.
The spOuts We're opened and a great
quantity ran out on the ground. SO
salvage Of about 10 cents bushel is
probable.
The building cost $3.50, 900, making the
total loss In the neighbOrhOOd of $780,
600. The insurance covers the loss.
The west wall Of the elevator is now
standing. 1t will be some weeks before
the fire in the smouldering heap OF
wheat goes out. The fire department
was successful against heavy odds IN
protecting the huge twin elevator AL
which was threatened several times
The insurance on the grain in the ~
companies foot $4,000.
The largest single insurer is the IN
demnity Exchange of Kansas City
which wrote $175 900.
1t is believed that the wheat salvage
Will amount to 30 or 40 per cent in
which case the total loss Will amount
to but half million. While the build
ing cost $3.50. 900 to build it can be dupli-
Gated for half that amount.

Bill in Congress for Regula ton of Prices
by Law.

Washington, Feb. 28.-ConsresSman
Corliss of Michigan has introduced
bill to extend the jurisdiction of the
Interstate laws to sleeping and parlor
cars and TO reduce the price OF berths
and seats about 20 per cent. In addi-
ton, his bill provides that 1T shall be UNI
lawful for any porter or other servant
Of the sleeping car companies to receive
tips from passengers, and the bill also
contains the usual provisions to prevent
the making up OF upper berths before
they are sold. This bill is meeting with
vigorous opposition on the part of par
Tor car manufacturers, and particularly
the Pullman people The house commit
tee which has the bin under Considera-
ton is today giving the representatives
OF these companies an audience, and
will probably make it's final report i'm
mediately following the conference.
This bill is the result of the refusal of
the companies to make a difference in
favor Of their patrons between the price
of upper and lower berths

Governor Has Prepared Resolution OF
Moderation.

Lima, Peru, Feb. %, via Galveston,
TeXas.-The governor has ordered the
prepare ton of a resolution which will
be submitted to congress providing for
the registration OF Protestant mar
riages. This is the result OF lengthy
diplomatic action in which the United
States government and the government
of Great Britain have taken part. Rev.
Mr.. Wood, head Of the mission in Peru,
some OF whose missionaries belong to
the East London institute, and others to
the American Bible Society, has had
trouble with the Peruvian officials for
a long time. The expulsion OF some of
his missionaries from Cuzoo brought
about an exchange of notes on the sub
ject between Great Britain and Peru.
The refusal Of the egistra ton OF mar
riage Of Miss Wood with MT Hazeltine
was the basis OF diplomatic action upon
the part OF the United States. The mis-
sionary question was involved and the
marriage question thus brought to the
front are regarded az OF great import
ance by all Professionals OF Peru and it
has been indicated for some time that
they might possibly lead to a change
OF the Peruvian constitution, but the
government appears willing to meet the
issue in R friendly spirit as indicated
by the resolution previously referred
to. Wood at one time went among the
savages in Peru at the peril of his life,
and for a long time considerable anX-
iety was felt for his return, owing to
threats against him. Steps to ascertain
his whereabouts and provide for his
safety were eventually taken at the
instance Of the United States and Great
Britain.

TREASURE HOUSES IN NEW
YORK.

eff the New York dry goods district
should be destroyed tonight said Il
business man to a representative of
the sun, every great insurance com
pany i'll the world would fail. Doubt
less there is some eXaggeration in
such an opinion, but there are 5000,
OUU, 900 worth of insurable goods in
the comparatively small downtown
area known as the dry goods dis
trict, to say nothing of buildings,
furniture and fixtures. London and
Paris are the only other cities i'll the
world that equal New York as treas
ure houses of manufactured goods.
One wholesale and retail house i'll
the fashionable shopping part of
Broadway contains $l1 100000 worth
of goods Another house OH Twenty
third street, contains 5000, 600 worth.
There must be scores OF business
houses containing from S1,GOO,OO0 to
s., 900, 900 worth of goods. The goods
stored i'll three or four business dis
trictS would more than pay the nation
al debt. The goods in the great
clothing districts run up into the
hundreds of millions. The little jew
elry district down town is one of the
richest urban areas i'll the world.
Silverware, gold, and jewels valued
at hundreds of millions are stored in
the district centered about Union
Square. The samples of Il single hat
house brought at auction in recent
year $4,000. Some OF the most pre-
cious articles in proportion to bulk
are stored in the drug and chemical
and perfumery houses i'll the region
south of Fulton and east of William.
The book publishing district, now
stringing itself along from Aston Place
to Twenty-fifth street, is stocked with
many million dollars worth of books.
Single buildings with their contents
and the land they occupy are worth
more than the assessed value of many

SOURCES DE ALTIONS

1t is perhaps one of the most useful
practices to trace back our own
actions to the sources from which
they must have sprung. We are gen
orally only too willing to do this in the
case of our neighbors, but we rarely
do it for ourselves. We assume the
character of the tree from the quality
of the fruit in the one instance; but in
the other we decline to draw the same
inference. Let us honestly and fairly
examine ourselves with this object in
view. Let us find out the real under
lying principles of our lives, the secret
motives of our actions, the most
urgent desires of our hearts, and we
may wish to lay the ak at the root of
many of them.

TIE PRISON SCORED.

AT fashionable wedding party
near London, just as the happy pair
were about to start on their wedding
tour, the pretty little bride was
thanking the Clergyman who had
made her and her choice one, on which
the reverend gentleman, who was an
old friend of the family and bit of
a wag, said, But, my dear, you have
not paid me my feen'
What is that?' said the bride.
"A kiss. Won't you pay it before
you go?''
''Of course | will" she answered,
blushing and laughing. And she did.
a severe old maiden lady, standing
by, was terribly shocked at such
levity and worse, rs she thought it, on
the part of the jolly divine, but every
one else, the bridegroom included,
smiled at the incident. AS the old
maid, a little later, was about to drive
away from the door she put her head
out of the brougham window and said
severely, as the parson among others
babe her adieu:
"Well, Mr.. Clergyman, how about
that ecclesiastical kiss ~
Not now answered he" | will
give it to !ou another time. So very
public here
She disappeared. The guests roar
ed, and the parson scored.

When Spring with maiden tenderness,
Steals Shyly hither to caress,
To gladden. with her pretty mirth,
Our happy, flower bedazzened earth;

Will greet us in the country ways
What Eden joys come back again
When hawthOTns whitcn down the lane!
The little whistful moon. my friend,
VIII peep above the gable end.
And see the hillside orchard white
With bio SONS all the fervent night
The cottage panes will glow at dusk,
The darkness gather sweet with musk,
And weary kline, with tagging feet,
Pass loving down the village street.
And then. at daybreak, bark, oh, hush
Beneath the stars, the early thrush
Piping. while heaven glimmers gray,
His morning carol, clear and gray.
He sang the self. same song, you know,
In Paradise long years ago.
And, keeps eStrangcd from all regret,
His warm, brave heart, unvanquished yet
For him. for us, the world is new
When daiSed meadows CLEAN with dew;
All not TO us the times seem late
Who come but now to love and mate;
Content to deem it is most wise
To watch life out with tranquil eyes,
To kiss warm lips, and win thereby
And little comfort ere we die.
