Naval Engineers.

At the suggestion and under the di- reotion of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt q bill has been prepared looking to thereorganiza- tion of tho officers of our fighting ships and a large addition to their number. The 82 senior naval cadets now on the sea on their practice cruise will, when the bill becomes law, be commissioned as full hedged ensigns so soon as they reach home An important change will be made in the standing of the engineer of naval vessels under the new law. There has been long contention over the rank of the engineer of a fighting ship-a question, it was, whether he was to be treated as a gentleman and an officer or a mere greasy mechanic.
 In spite of his Kniokerboeker lineage no one is able to puncture snobbery or see an absurdity more quickly than Mir. Roosevelt. He heard the arguments of engineers and regular naval officers on each side. Then he recommended that engineers should have under the reor- ganization their place as regular officers, with rank of captain, commander or lieutenant, and that they should have authority to issue commands to seamen as we'll as to maohinists and firemen. The bill recommends that 100 extra maohintsts be employed as such, besides the engineers who are to have rank and title. Heneeforth, however, the cadets at the Naval academy are to be instruct ed, all of them, in running engines and managing machinery on board man. of-war, and they will perform services as engineers. There will not therefore be q chance for promotion to outside engineers.

Hoods Pills s5s 5 the %o o9y gl, to taso

of Havana harbor while the Spanish flag flies over Moro.
 Speaking of probable hostiIities with Spain, Gen. Lee said:
 q believe it is my due that I should be allowed to lead the first division on Havana. If do, please say for me that 1 know how to take the city"
 In the event of war between Spain and the United States, we trust that Gen, Lees wish may be gratified and that he may cause Gen. BIanco to sue at his hands for peace and mercy. It was an insult to Gen. Lee and the nation he represented, and we hope the late Consul Gener- al will be accorded the privilege of averaging it.
 And Gen. Lee can do it to an ele- gant nicety.

A Spanish Insult.

At the last moment prior to his departure from Havana for the United States, Consul General Lee, who had been uniformly treated with consideration and respect by the Spanish officials at Havana, was made the victim of Spanish insult. Just prior to his departure, in ac- cordance with the natural dictates of the occasion, Gen. Lee called at the palace to pay his respect and say good-bye to Gen. Blanco, when to Gen. Lees surprise and amaze ment, Gen. Blaneo sent him word that he dld not desire to see Gen. Lee again It is needless to say that Gen. Lee was encaged with in- dignation at this affront offered to him and his country, It is also needless to remark in passing that this conduct on the part of Gen. Blanco was in keeping with the treachery and low cunning of the Spanish character,
 As be steamed out of Havana, Gen. Lee sent Gen. Blanco this mes- sage:
 "You may tell Gen. Blanco for me that the Fern is the last ship of the American navy that will ever go out

engineers,

Canada will get money enough from American miners without trying to thog down" their whole outfit, even to the food they take over the passes to supply them. It is said for a fact that American miners crossing the passes must now pay duty on every pack ani- nal that transports their supplies, on all their clothing and mining tools and on every pound of provisions, besides being compelled to pay also for the logs that build their cabins and the timber which goes into the boats to convey them through the lakes and down the Yukon. The Canadian government has the right, of course, to charge a moder- ate price for the timber used, but when it comes to taxing the miners whole personal outfit it is a hoggish proceed ing, and the Canuoks who do it will certainly overreach themselves. They cannot afford to drive away American miners. We have gold territory on the Alaska side of the line.

A Sad Accident.

On Tuesday last an unknown man
was killed instantly, while boarding
an east bound B. & o. freight train.
At the coroner's inquest the only
thing by which he could be identified
was bundle of clothing, bearing the
wrapping paper of Messrs. J. +.
Thompson & Bro, our Queen street
clothiers. One of the firm was called
in, who recognized the man as a pur.
chaser at their store that day. He
stated he did not know his name,
and the only conversation that oc-
CURED between them was statement
made by the man that he had been at
every clothing store in the city, and
found they had the biggest bargains
to offer. The man, he said, had pur-
chased a new spring suit, neck tie,
and some light underwear. The rail.
road company was exonorated from
any blame.

American Securities Abroad.

The sales of American securities have
been, according to London advices,
very large abroad of late, and there
appears to be tendency toward in
cease in the sales. If this state OF
things holds, there will be an increas-
ing influx of British gold into this mar
ket. This is good news and demon
strates the faith abroad in the stability
of our credit. There is another point
of faith for which the people not only
of this but foreign countries have good
ground for credence, and that is, belief
