was known as "Hooker's Division" the General

The General. having laughed at the very natural

A New Naval Reserve.

The Board of Trade Of this port has re-
newed the effort to secure from Congress
the organization of a body Of naval auxil-
iaries distinct from the naval militia of
the several States.
A leading object of the new move, as we
understand it, is to enroll men who nave
that peculiar qualification and aptitude
which may perhaps be defined as the habit
of the sea. So far as ordinary occupations
go, the State naval militia are mostly lands
men but the new body is to be drawn
largely from those whose chief occupation
Is or has been either on or along the high
seas or the navigable waters of the United
States, or else in the construction or repair
of vessels, marine engines, or electrical ma.
chinery. To these two classes are added
the yachtsmen, whether officers, owners, or
crew, as 80 much of their time is passed
Upon the water.
Only one objection, so far as we can see,
can be urged against this new undertaking.
and that is the risk of diverting interest
and strength from the State naval forces,
which are now so fourishing and of such
good promise in their sphere that it will be
a pity to weaken them by any division of
supporting power. But, as far as Congress
is concerned, there should be no difficulty
in maintaining both organizations. The
bill sent to Washington by the New York
Board of Trade calls for an annual appro-
p~riation of only $50, 900, which is also the
sum annually appropriated by Congress for
the naval militia. Surely $780, 900 a year
would not be too much for maintaining two
auxiliary bodies which might add perhaps
10000 men to our trained and available
personnel in time of war.
AS to division of interest, this might be
conceivably true as regards the yachtsmen,
but 1t Is thought that seafaring men, long
shoremen, shipyard mechanics, and handi-
craftsmen of various sorts would be appealed
to by the new naval reserve who do not Join
the present State militia. Perhaps whole
companies could be organized from sea-
coast establishments and from machine
shops or the wharves of a port. In addition,
the revenue marine, the lighthouses. the
life-saving stations, the coast survey, the
merchant marine, the pilot service, the
fisheries. and other sources might yield
from their present or past forces men for
the new body, while past officers and men
of the navy, marine corps, and naval militias
are also made eligible.
AS to the bill proposed by the Board OF
Trade, it provides that five Commissioners.
serving without salary, two each from the
navy and the merchant marine and one from
the State naval militia, appointed by the
President, shall establish a system of or
ganization. The term of service of reserve
men would DO five years, and an active
naval officer below the "A of Lieutenant
Commander could be transferred to the re

WARRINGTON, Dec. 16.-A controversy involv-

will go down in history as the "stovepipe incl
dent" 1t was based on nothing moro important
than the question OF which naval bureau should
be intrusted with fitting the pipe of a new bake
oven placed in the galley of the battleship Iowa,
q simple matter enough ordinarily, but one that
assumed n serious aspect when 1t became en-
the controversy has been going on the jack tars
of tho Iowa have been bewaiiing tho lack of a
sufficient supply of fresh bread; but, fortunately
for the service, nothing of greater consequences
The head cook Of the Iowa found that he could
bake enough bread II he had n little bake oven
erected in the galley. Application was made
ant Of the New York Navy Yard. Commodore
Bunce. for tho oven. The commandant referred
the request to the Bureau of Equipment, which
authorized the expenditure, amounting to $40.
1t was necessary to erect a platform in the gal
ley on which to place the oven and to cut a hole
somewhere for the s%mokepipe. The Construc-
serted in a hole cut in tho smokestack leading
from the engine room the best outlet would be
given. The Bureau of Steam Engineering main
tanned that it alone had the right to cut holes in
smokestacks.
Things became terribly mixed at this point,
and the stovepipe might never have been put In

officers concerned before him to-day and asked
them to settle the controversy. After a long
discussion. during. which the. Judge-Advocate-

of Equipment should purchase the stove and
erect the platform on which the stove will
stand, and the Bureau of Steam Engineering
should cut tho hole for the pipe.

suggestion for quick and unobjectionable

States, Switzerland, or Sweden, on the
Lueders AFFAIR, and. whom this was declined,
that she invited Germany to choose her own
arbitcr. But Minister Won below refused
to allow any Intervention or to give Hayti
a chance to do anything but humbly accept
Germany's terms.
This, It has been pointed out. 10 the sec
ond time In the last quarter Of a century
that Hayti has had from Germany a lesson
in tho law Of the stronger. Arbitration,
she has learned, is not for such little tropi-
cal republics as herself and Nicaragua, in
dealing with European powers. It Is fair
to say however, that Haytis course In the
Lueders affair was extremely shortslghted
and stupid, particularly II, as one account
runs, her courts undertook to infict q ton.
fold flne and q twelve-fold imprisonment
upon LuEDERs, after he appealed from q
sentence which certainly seemed quite ade-
quate for the offence Of resisting q police
man who sought to arrest his servant.
AS for the subsequent outbreak at Jacmcl,
1t was doubtless aided, II not i~nstigated,
by the blunder of the Government. Presi-
dent SAM did the only prudent thing open
to him, in the end, when he complied with
Germany's terms. and revolts founded on
the notion that he should ave made war
instead are absurd. But of course the real

likely is true.

Mr.. Carnegie and tho Chronicle.

Writing from Cannes to the London
Chronicle, Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE has
been at the pains to demolish q CORE
spondcnt of that paper who had undertaken
to decry and insult our Government for its
dealings with England.
Half q dozen subjects were treated In
that communication, but one has a special
timeliness just now. It was the old charge.
repeated by the Chronicles correspondent,
that. Gin the Behring Sea case, the United
States have not paid the money due" for hav-
ing made seizures Of British sealing vessels.
1t seems impossible to get the truth into the
British mind that the Paris tribunal made
no award of damages. but determined GER
tain facts, according to which England and
the United States could fix, by agreement,
the amounto of damages which might be pay
able by either to the other. The "question
Of the liability Of either Government upon
the facts found" was to be the Subject Of
further negotiation :" and while undoubt-
eddy the facts found by the Paris award did
involve US in such liability, yet it was ex-
pressly provided in the Paris award, which
gave a list of the British vessels wrong
fully seized, that 1t was open to our Govern
ment to raise the question "as to the
value of the said vessels, or their contents,
or either Of them. n as to whether they
were wholly or in part the actual property
of citizens of the United States"
Bearing In mind this fact that there was
no settlement Of damages by the Paris
tribunal, we shall be able to appreciate Mr..
CARNEG1E's point:
"No money 10 yet due. A Joint commission is now
sitting TO decide upon the claims. II the Chronicle
wishes to follow its great service in the Venezuela
case let 1t publish the evidence which, shows that q
British subject in San Francisco was paid 800 to
take title to certain fishing smacks, so these could
pursue the Infamous killing of female seals at sea
under the British nag-the American nag cannot DO
used for such . purpose-aithough the boats were
really the property OF naturaliEed Americans to tho
extent OF fournfths Of all the claims. 1T 10 aknavish
piece OF work. and tho Chronicle, I trust, viii OK
pose It before tho British public. This discovery IN
duced Congress to refuse to mako an appropriation
to pay . nxed sum agreed upon by the American
Secretary OF State and the British Ambassadors
subject to an appropriation by ConEress.' a. the
agreement recites. The Chronicle will soon DO able
to show tho British people that o great fraud has
thereby been prevented"
in Great Britain and Canada have accused
US of refusing to pay has never been due.
1t never could be paid, because its amount
was never known. It never will be known
until the joint commission makes It's re-
port. The lump sum Of $425, 900, agreed
to by Secretary GRESHAM. subject to the
approval of Congress. was d~isapproved by
that body because of the disclosure of the
knavery which Mr.. CARNEGIE mentions.
We fear, however, that Mr.. CARNEGIE
has undertaken a big job in trying to en-.
tighten the British public on facts which
ought to have been perfectly we'll known
there years ago.
