success in landing expeditions. 1T is
not such a difficult matter" said he.
"The main point is to select a proper
place to equip an expedition here. Now,
of all places Philadelphia is the worst.
If we should be caught in Philadelphia
we would be sent to Jail. The court
is bitter against us. New York is the
best place. OF course, it is advisable
that our steamers be loaded out in the

OPPORTUNITY FOR BOYS.
UNCLE SAM WILL GIVE THEM
ALL A CHANCE.
Amy American Boy Between Four
teen and Seventeen Years of
Age Eligible.

There are fully 50,000,000 people in
the United States who have never been
on board an American man-of-war, and
probably 60O00,000 between our At
lantic and Pacific Coasts that know
practically nothing about the men that
are necessary for the manning of our
new vessels, and yet our modern ships
are wonderful shells of steel and ar
NOR, filled with the best and finest of
guns and instruments that the ingenui-
ty of man can produce.
1t is only during the last few years
that much popular interest has been
taken in the personnel Of the navy. One
of the most effective steps toward the
proper manning of the man-of-war of
the future was the establishing of the
apprentice training system for Ameri-
can boys who wished to become man
o'-wars men.
During the first few years following
the introduction of boys as apprentices
their presence was generally opposed
by the men and protested against by
the officers, it being claimed that they
were not strong enough to do man
work 1t was found in short time
that want of strength when hauling on
ropes at drill or pulling an oar In
boat was amply made up by the ap-
prentice BOYS cat-like activity aloft,
and his quick way of picking up sig
mailing and the more elaborate system
of gunnery.
Any American boy between IA and
II years of age is eligible for the naval
service. provided he is physically and
crnn6
character. When he first enters the
service he is provided, free, with
complete outfit Of clothing and bed
ding. and receives 50 per month, be-
sides his rations This pay is increased
to SIS and S21 per month, respectively,
before he reaches his majority, when
he can enlist, with chance of petty
officers ratings always ready for him.
There is nothing to prevent any intel
ligent boy who has been we'll behaved
to secure a well-paid position for life
in the United States naval service
The training station at Newport, r.
l.. after leaving the receiving ship, Is
where the boy receives his first lessons
in s..amanship. gunnery and, what is
more important, discipline. He is taught
that strict observance OF all rules is
virtue on board a man-of-war, and that
such vices as drinking liquor and smok-
ing cigarettes are not permitted. Per-
haps the boy has his greatest trials
when he is on the training ships, where
he is still treated as a boy, though he
may be able to pull an oar, reef sail
or receive a. message with flags as well
as his teacher.
Every one of our vessels has in her
complement a certain number of ap
prentices Of the first or second class,
received from the training ships. Some
times the number allowed is exceeded,
as was the case on the crack cruiser
Brooklyn some time ago, where, instead
of the forty allowed, over sixty are
needed to fill the shortage of men. Some
of these boys are only 16 years Of age,

but do a mans work and are proud of
it.
It will interest the people through
out our land to know that two weeks
ago, while the powerful fleet of our
North Atlantic squadron was maneu-
vering ir such a splendid manner on the
Southern drill ground, behind every one
of the formidable guns there stood a
graduate of the apprentice system
that the shot and shell falling with such
well directed aim and precision at the
targets had been aimed by these boys
and young men.
Twelve years ago, the Government
recognizing the Importance of having
an efficient corps Of well-trained men
on hand to handle the modern appli-
ances on board ship, established special
training schools at Newport, r. l., and
Washirg gton, D. c. The vacancies in
these schools are, except in rare cases,
reserved for the ex-apprenticeS. At
these places the seamen become prof
cient in the use of modern guns, the
manufacturing and preparation of eX-
plosiveS and managing of tOrpedOes. It
| would appear almost incredible that a
man can acquire a practical knowledge
of several subjects in the short space
of time allowed at these training
places. On all our ships the electric
turret scar. the ever-running dynamos,
the installation of wires and lights, the
torpedoes, and the many other delicate
contriVances are managed by men who
have spent year or more in the sea-
man gunner class. Besides these va
ried and useful accomplishments, they
can bend a topsail or mend the rigging
on a smaller ship; they can go down in
a diving suit to examine damages to
the bottom or recover a lost anchor
they are able to cook or wash on board
a torpedo boat, if necessary, and also
keep an account of the stores III q
satisfactory manner. In fact, the sea-
man gunner is what a new ship needs
more than the old type of sailor man.
All apprentices upon discharge do not
go to the gunnery schools as the ac-
commodation there is too small for SO
many. Some prefer to re-enlist with
the gun force, and before the end of
the first year the boy with his first
enlistment stripe, if he has shown the
proper pluck and zeal, performs the
duty and receives the pay of a petty
officer.

The matter of the mayoralty Of the
city of Greater New York is beginning
to attract more and more attention as
the time for making nominations APP
proaches The, Citizens union and
the Republican party must pool their
issues and unite their forces in order
to- defeat Tammany. This is accept
ed and understood. The Republican
part Of the compact has been little
slow to act, and as the citizens union
has actively taken up Mr. Low,
chancellor of Columbia university, as
its most available candidate the Re.
publicans seem to- have a little jeal-
ousy aboard. Plat is at the bottom
of it, not that he or the Republicans
have any objection to Hon. Seth Low,
but because they want the Republican
party to father the opposition to Tam
many and lead off in the fight against
the wigwam. This crotchety state Of
mind may lead to nomination by the
Republicans in which case Tammany
will be certain to carry the election.
The names of 100000 voters are al
ready attached to petitions requesting
Mr.. Low to become a candidate, and
of these $4,000 are outside of the mem
bership of the Citizens union. 1t is
now stated that Mr.. Low will formal
ly accept the nomination whether Mr..
Platt agrees to stand by the nOmina-
ton or not.

New York has taken an advanced
step in wool exchange, by opening a
wool auction mart. Boston is the
loser, as she has been the leading wool
market in the country, but the oppo-
sition of both Boston and Philadelphia
was of no avail and the wool auction
was a success. There were Boston
and Philadelphia buyers at the first
competitive sale held last week at
which three and half million
pounds were offered, half or more of
the offering selling at an advance over
the regular market price. This new
departure will end the go as you
please manner of sales, establish
regular classification and inspection
of woods, under the certified authority
of the wool exchange, and fix prices
for the manufacturer of settled grades
at standard price.

Bryan is an apt illustration of the
old proverb, that braying a fool in a
mortar with a pestle does not bray the
mule out of him. Bryan insists in the
face of all that is transpiring and of
his ignominious defeat last fall, that
the fight in Nebraska this fall shall be
fought out on the old lines that were
drawn then. The Republicans in a
case like this should offer no objec-
tons. If they cannot sweep that state
against such a foolish enunciation of
principles it is certain that for the
present that state is lost to the party
and may as well be surrendered.

The rise in the price of wheat in this
country is troubling the nations of
continental Europe. France will not
stand much advance in the price of
bread without riots. Russia is afraid
that she will not have enough for her
own consumption and talks of prohib-
iting export. This is all likely to
stimulate speculation on this side of
the water, and force the carrying
trade.
