AN IMPERATIVE NEUESSlll.

Prince Hohenlohe Appeals to the Reichs-
tag for an Increased Navy.
BERLIN, Dec. 8.-The reichstag be.
gan the debate upon the first reading Of
the governments naval bill during the
day. The imperial chancellor, Prince
H~ohenlohe, made a statement on the
subject, saying: I'VE absolutely re.
quire an efficient navy to maintain the
position created for US by the army.
This conviction has gained ground with
very large sections Of the population,
and, l declare, in the name of the fed.
Grated government, that they consider
as an imperative necessity that the
navy should be strengthened and that
its strength should be fixed by legis-
lative enactment. The idea of a policy
OF adventure is far from the thoughts
OF the government, as is any intention
OF rivalry with the great maritime pow
ers. If we desire to secure a position

must have, a feet Of modest dimensions

RADICAL RECOMMENDATIONS.

Iowa Railroad Commissioners Want the
Power They Supposed They Had.
DIES MONIES, Dec. S.-The annual
report of the Iowa railroad commission
ers, just filed with the governor, makes
some radical recommendations calling
for new legislation to rehabilitate laws
that have been supposed until very re-
Gently to give ample power to the com.
missioners to regulate rates. In the case
of Barris against the Chicago, Burling.
ton and Quincy railway, the Iowa SUI
preme court decided that the rate fixed
by the commissioners was not prima
facie evidence of a reasonable rate,
thus in effect holding that all rates are
subject to review by the courts, and
gives the railway companies, the board
thinks, the right to wholly disregard
the commissioners rate.
Would Cause Endless Litigation.
The commissioners regard this as
against the securing of uniform rates,
which was the intent of the law, and
declares it will prevent them from en-.
forcing uniform rates, so they cannot
prevent unjust determinations. It
will lead to great confusion in both
freight and passenger business if the
railways are allowed to contest the rea.
sonableness Of rates with each shipper,
because juries and courts will not agree
as to the same rate; it will cause a mul.
tiplicity of suits. If such never ending
litigation is unavoidable under the pres.
ent law, the commissioners think that
"such legislation should be enacted
whereby the people of the state may be
fully protected in securing reasonable
maximum rates without unnecessary
delay and vexation."
Referring to the litigation which the
decision of the supreme court invites,
the board asks for legislation which
will make 1t possible to establish a
schedule Of maximum rates which
''would be binding both upon the ship
per and the railways, without com.
polling the shipper to expend large
sums of money in a multiplicity of suits
to establish what might be ascertained
and established in one suit" The com.
missioners state further that the de.
cision absolutely destroys the statute of
the state in regard to the long and
short haul, because there is no standard
of a legal character that is or can be
established under this construction.

CAGES RECOMMENDATIONS.

Annual Report Of the Secretary Sub
naitted to Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The annual
report Of the secretary Of the treasury
sent to congress shows that the total
receipts for the year ended June 80,
1897, were $3.50, 1878, 49,, and the expen.
ditures $44S, 43y, 622, leaving a deficit of
$18, O52, Asa. The receipts Of the year,
however, exceeded those for the year
1896 by $40, 9l1, 759.
AS compared with 1896 there is an in.
crease in the customs of SIG, f32, 374 and
internal revenue 81, 342. I'll.
The secretary, at some length, argues
the need of q reform in the currency
and in conclusion recommends the en-.
actment of legislation establishing a de-
partment Of the treasury to be desig.
mated as the issue and redemption di.
vision in which is to be deposited $780,
OOO, 900 in gold to be used only for re.
demption purposes, and all silver now
held in the treasury for redemption
purposes, and also all silver bought un.
der the act of 1890. He further recon-
mends that the sum of 5000, O00, 900 in
United States legal tender notes be also
deposited in this division, to be dis
bursed therefrom only upon the receipt
of gold.
Refun ding Loan Bonds.
1t is also recommended that provision
be made for the issue of refunding loan
10.year ~ per cent bonds payable in
gold, in exchange for any part or all of
the outstanding loans of the United
States. The secretary also recommends
that national banks be authorized with
with a minimum capital of $25, 900 in
places having a population of 1000 or
less, and that the rate of taxation on
circulation notes secured by deposit of
bonds be reduced to one.half of one
per cent per annum; also that banks be
permitted to issue circulating totes to
par value of refunding bonds deposited
by them in the treasury, and further,
that banks be allowed to deposit as Sc
curity with treasury, g~reenbacks,
treasury notes or silver certificates to q
total amount of $500, OO0, 900, against
which national bank notes shall be
issued to them to an equal amount.
After the banks have deposited such
bonds, greenbacks, treasury notes and
silver certificates to the amount of so
per cen of their capital, they shall be
permitted to issue bank notes in add.
ton to the 81 per cent thus provided,
to the extent of 70 per cent, for which
the banks assets shall be liable. He
also recommends that the guaranty of
the government shall be extended to all
circulating notes of the banks, whether
issued against deposited security or
against assets. To secure the govern
ment against loss, if any, a tax of 2>per
cent shall be levied on unsecured
circulation to create a safety
fund to be invested by the comp
| troller in United States bonds. In
addition, the government should be
further protected, the secretary says,
by having first lien upon all assets in
! case of failure of the issuing bank. 1t
is further recommended. that all notes
be redeemed in the city of New York
and at other s~ub.treasuries at the ex-
pense of the banks and that the issue
of national bank notes be restricted to
the denomination of $40 and upwards.

President McKinley's message to Gel

President McKinley's message to cen
gress, Monday, while a beautifully writ
ten document, touching ever subject OF
national Importance and with a pre-
tended fairness, lacks wofully in origin
atty, vigor and purpose. Every idea and
and position advanced by the president
is hackneyed and time-worn. His
recommendation to contract the cur
Eency by retiring the greenback;, for
that is what it would amount to by max
ing them simply gold certificates as he
recommends, WAS proposed by Cleveland
and has been exploited a thousand times
since and riddled through and through.
The president was safe in making the re-
commentator for we'll he knows in adj
vance it will never be done by the pres
ent congress. His interations and re-
,teratious about the ''endless chain" are
almost sllley when ne proposes no better
cure than to take the greenbacks out
Of circulation altogether. Mr.. Mo-
kinley's view considers only the clam
of the goldite and the money changer.
He has no feeling of sympathy for the
laboring masses. His attitude Oh the
Cuban question:, the civil service, bl
metallism, arbitration, and the seal
question and the navy, are Mr.. Cleve-
lands over again. All are dominated by
the idee that everything must be sacrl-
iced to money aud commercial interests,
nothing for the cause of humanity.
Nothing new in Cuban affairs of the past
is told lis, nothing new 10 our attitude
for the future is promised US. For afew
paltry millions invested in the islands we
nave stood 10y and watched the devlish
Spalniard cruelty starve, torture and kill
100000 helpless human beings. For u
interest We are to stand by and see the
bloody work Ut determination go OIL. A
patriotic American leaves off reading
Mcklnley's message with Il sickly feel
log that Mr.. Mckinley lu the face of
money interests is a political and moral
coward. Both or the money question at
home and the Cuban question at our
door, de does nothing, recommends moth
ing for %humanity's sake. 1t is no wonder
that in both political and social circles
at Washington and throughout the
country the message fell fiat. 10 the
money changer only does it bring joy.

an air ship conceived on novel lines.

here five years and has been working
on the subject of aerial navigation
problems for twenty years. He claims
TO have solved the difficulty and has
assigned threc-tenths of his right to w,

be formed and the machines built.
The inventors claim is based on OBJ
Rervation of flights of birds. He claims
that birds row their way through the
air and has built his machine on that
principle. The machine Is cigarette
shaped and is said to be built of alum
mum. Hydrogen gas is the lifting
power and the machine will be con-
trolled in ascents and descents by the
use Of air ballast. The inventor claims
priority to the idea for controlling ma

SPAIN 5 NEW POLICY TOWARDS CUBA.
NO CRISIS EXPECTED.
An Editor Talks Concerning the Freedom
Which Cubans Will Enjoy.

Senior Jose Canalejas, one of the
foremost public men of Spain. editor of
''El Heraldo." of Madrid, former min
ister OF justice I'm the Liberal ministry,
and closely identified with Premier
Sagasta, of the new Liberal regime in
Spain, arrived In Washington last
Wednesday. Senor Dupuy de LONE,
the Spanish minister, called on Senor
Canalejas soon after his arrival.
Senor Canalejas, in speaking of con-
ditions In Spain said: 'The feeling
there Is one of expectancy, but there
Is little or no feeling that a serious
crisis will present itself between the
United states and Spain, and there Is
no thought In well-informed circles
that extreme measures or a resort to
war will result. On the contrary the
action of the Spanish government has
given every hope of continuance of
the most friendly relations with the
United States, and of a satisfactory
conclusion of the Cuban conflict.
"A complete change of policy has re-
suited from the accession of the Lib
eral ministry, and the aggressive pol
Icy executed by General Weyler Is now
succeeded by the more conciiatory
methods of that peaceful soldier Cen
eral Blanco. The autonomy which
Spain now offers to Cuba is of the gen.
uine character, and is rendered in the
sincerest good faith.
In all internal affairs. the autonomy
now offered will give the Cuban people
entire freedom in shaping their own af-
fairs. The Spanish people are desirous
that our friends In the United. States
should recognize the complete change
of policy which has occurred, and
bring the beneficial results we look
for.
