 As had been indicated by the de- fense's line of cross examination, it is proposed to rest the case mainly upon the relation between Mrs. Half and the hotel while she we'd there It is contended by the defense that she was a boarder and not a guest, inas- much as she had entered into a spe- cial contract. The plaintiff contends
 that the contract lacked the limita- tiOn of time necessary to constitute her boarder The authorities show
 very slight distinction between the words, but it is a very important one, 1 for under the statutes of this terri tory the proprietor of a hotel is un-

 circumstances that the plaintiff in this ease suffered loss is very clearly de- l fined.

come, and when he did cone and oper the door, the crow would go in with him. The church was heated by a biz stove, and while the sexton was build ing the fire the crow wodld st on the back of a pew close by and look on. Sometimes, when the sexton was work ing away over the stove the crow would hitch along on the pew rail and cav to him; and sometimes the sexton would turn around and smile ct the crow and maybe say something friendly, and then the crow would pork it's head over on one side and cav and cav, ard then the sexton would smile again and go on building the fire. He would put in a section of old tarred netting to start the fire with, something that every fisherman uses if he has got it, and the best thing in the world to start a fire with, and then he would build up the fire and light it, and when it had got well a-going and he had made every thing snug he would leave the church until it was pretty near time for the service to begin; and when he went the crow would go with him. I think the crow would sometimes have stayed in the church, but of course that wouldn't do, and when the sexton was ready he would call the crow and the crow would follow him out, and they would separate where they had met, on the steps of the church. The sexton lived about half a mile away in one direction, and the crow lived close by in the other, and when the sexton had gone the crow would go over to it's home and peck on the door, and they would let him in-
 Everybody around knew this crow, and nobody ever molested it. The crow itself took chances. Sometimes it focked with other crows and then it was in danger of being shot; but nobody ever shot at it when it was alone. When they saw it fly by they said:

A FISHERMAN'S PET CROW.

"You will find pet crows alongsEore,' said a fisherman, just as you might anywhere else. I knew fisherman once that had one he got out of it's nest when it was little, and brought cp in his home. He never clipped it's wings, and it used to go out and De gone, may be for hours, perhaps for days, but it knew where it could get warm and where the best things to eat were. and it always came back. If any of the fam fly saw it coming they would let it in; ii they didn't see it the crow would sit on the railing by the door and cav to be let in; and, if nobody heard the cawing, it would peck at the door with it's beak. It used to sleep in the house, and was on friendly terms with the whole household. The name of the crows owner was William; his friends used to call him Bill. When mea time came the crow would perch on the bacl of Bills chair, and every now and theL Bill would reach up over his shoulder something nice for the crow to eat.
 Every Sunday morning the crow used to 20 to church, and it never used to go any other time. It knew the sex ton. The sexton was a fisherman, too

company of 100 men, not one or whom was over 25 or was unable to pass a strict military medical examination.
 Captain Thompson, who had con- manded a New York company in the civil war, was to be colonel of our regl- ment. and he wished me to take the captaincy of my company but 1elt that I was neither old enough nor wise enough in military matters to fill sucn a position and we compromised by my taking the office of first lieutenant.
 Just previous to the Virginius af- fair one of Spain's finest cruisers, the Arapales, lay up in the Brooklyn navy-yard for cleaning and overhaul- ing. As soon as there was a rumor of war the captain was naturally anx- ious to get away and hurried the workmen up, fearing that he might be made a prisoner. The workmen were strangely slow, but at last even they were unwillingly obliged to pronounce the ship ready for sea. Then three days were spent in looking for pilot, but every yone of those useful persons was found unaccountably busy. At last one was secured, one of the best on the bay, and the captains troubles seemed at an end. Unfortunately, how ever, this most excellent pilot who had never before met with an accident awkwardly ran his charge on hid den rock, and back she had to go to the navy-yard for additional repairs, which it required a whole week to finish
 During this time the captain, who seemed to have been of a singularly suspicious turn of mind, and was moreover noted as being the most vol uble and Accomplished swearer to whom New York had ever listeped, famil- iariZed himself with the channel suf- ficiently to take his ship out and proceeded to do so as soon as she was afioat again. The New Workers saw him slipping through their fingers without expressing the least regret and much friendly sympathy was shownA when misfortune again overlook him. Just as he was entering East River after loudly declaring that he never wanted to see America nor anything American again, fate or 1ankee inge- nuity interfered once more. A tug boat with several barges loaded with coal for the Williamsburg sugar re- finerfes steamed across his path and three of the barges, afterward ascer- tained to have been bored full of auger holes, sunk directly before him. It took days to raise them, for all man. ner of small accidents happened to the hoisting machinery, much to the loudly expressed wonder and regret of the American workmen employed, and all that time the Spanish captain simply raved and roared, to the silent delight of his unofficial but very determined jailers.
 Not until the uncertainty was over and war was no longer threatening was that cleverly caged cruiser, which would have been, as we all know, a rich prize in case of conflict between her nation and our own, allowed right of way out to the broad Atlantic.

REGULARS ARE READY FOR WAR Brave Boys in Blue Want a Brush With the
 Spaniards. Work of Strengthening the Harbor Defenses Goes
 Steadily On. There Is Prospect That Angel Island May Be Abandoned as Mili-
 tary Station.

Officers and enlisted men stationed at the Presidio received with delight yes terday the news that the Senate had voted unanimously to authorize an in- crease of the army by the addition of two more regiments of artillery. More soldiers of this branch of the service are needed. The force of artillerymen at the Presidio is not sufficient to properly man the high power guns al- ready in position. When additional guns arrive to fill the emplacements now ready the need of more troops will be urgent.
 The impression that there is a regi- ment of artillery at the Presidio Is wide of the true mark. There are only four batteries of artillery at this gar rtson and two of these are light bat teries. The only troops available to handle the modern guns are Batteries A and H of the Third Artillery. Bat tery D of this regiment is at San Diego; K Battery is at Alcatraz; E is at Fort Mason; L is at Lime Point (Fcrt Baker; M is at Fort Canby; B is at Fort Monroe and Batteries G and I are at Angel Island
 Yesterday Battery H was on duty at the works near Fort Point, where the modern high-power guns are placed. Since the recent orders from Gen. Miles directing that extra caution be observ- ed at the forts, the men of the Third Artillery have not been able to perform all the duties enjoined. Details for guard duty have been made from the First Infantry. The Fourth Cavalry has supplied mounted patrolmen.
 It may be necessary to bring from Angel Island the two batteries of the regiment stationed at that post and to transfer the battery at Fort Mason to a point near the main works of de- fense. No provision has been made for barracks at the places where the

the Third Artillery, is ready at any time for a fight with Spain''
 The dynamite guns at the Presidio are carefully guarded, and no one is al- lowed to enter the compressed air plant without permit from headquarters. The immense guns are covered as a weather protection. Each gun is capa- ble of throwing 800 pounds of dynamite a distance of four miles. Three shots from each can be fired in quick success sion.
 Recent orders issued by General Shafter prescribe that on the 10th of each month post commanders submit a schedule for the approval of the de- partment commander for such drills and exercises, including practical in struction contemplated by orders from the adjutant- generals office at Wash lngton, as they may deem most neces- sary for their commands for the month following. These drills must embrace athletic instruction, preferably such as may be joined in by the entire organi- zation, as the department commander deems this more important than ath- letic instruction to a few who show special aptitude. In this connection at tention is directed to the Manual of Physical Drill" prepared by Lieuten- ant E. l.. Butts, U. s. A., and author lzed for the use of the troops by the Secretary Of War It is contemplated to have practice marches for all arms of the service in this command early in the year. The concentration of the heavy artillery troops at the Presidio for practical artillery instruction and target practice will take place in the months of May and June. The practice season for smallarms for the cavalry in the department of California is an- nounced as follows for the current year: Revolver practice, March; car bine practice, April and May.
 The cordon of precaution is being drawn tighter and tighter about the defenses of San Francisco and the bay, as the prospect of war grows nearer and each day brings some new regu- lation to prevent the possibility of Spanish agents ascertaining the real strength of the forces stationed here The latest order went into effect yes- terday when mounted soldiers were sent to guard all the means of entering the Presidio except the one where the Union street railway terminates.
 All of those who tried to enter with out permits were quietly but firmly told that such passports were neces- sary and that they must be procured to enter the reservation. Those who entered the Presidio by the Union street line were under constant sur veillance and were not permitted to get beyond the range of vision of the yigilant guards

SENTIMENTS OF SOME
 OF THE STATESMEN.
Senator Morgan and Others Speak of the Necessities of
 the Navy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-In an in- terview Senator Morgan said tonight:
 Tn view of the foreign complications that now threaten us, I assumed that Congress was willing to be more liberal with appropriations for the navy and it occurred to me that this might be a good time to provide for a new naval ship to take the place of the Maine. The new vessel might properly be named the George Washington and this na- tional memorial day was a very proper time to introduce such resolution. It is singular that none of our war vessels have been named in honor of the father of our country. The Navy Department has very properly named most of our vessels after the several States, but 1t seems to me that there should be a de- parture in naval nomenclature and we should honor the memory, not only of our military and naval heroes, but our illustrious statesmen as well. The in- troduction of my resolution on this na- tional holiday was therefore deemed an appropriate sentiment by my col

Beyond that they have received no orders, or If they have their com manders have been careful not to dis close them.

 As soon as the reading of the his toric farewell address of Washington was concluded by Lodge of Massachu- setts in the Senate to-day, Hawley of Connecticut. chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, called up the bill providing for the enlistment of two additional regiments of artillery for service in manning the heavy coast defense batteries which Congress has provided during the past two years.
 Bate of Tennessee objected to the bill, because it tended to an increase of the army, to which he said he was unalterably opposed. He thought that there were enough troops already un der enlistment to man all the guns now being provided for by the Govern ment. He argued that it would be bet ter to assign infantry regiments to the manning of these guns than to put them in charge of raw recruits.
 In reply Hawley pointed out that the strength of the army was really de- creasing in proportion to the inhabi- tants of the country. In addition, he said. Congress had made large appro- priations in recent years for great guns for forts and coast defense stations. Of these guns 139 were guns of large caliber and delicate mechanism. To these must be added 232 rifled steel mortars already plaGed, or soon to be placed, in the coast defense stations In order that these guns may be prop erly handled body of trained men is necessary. Each of these great war engines requires to handle it as much skill as it requires to run a locomotive or an ordinary river steamer. The War Department estimates that the 1900 men which this bill calls for will be necessary to properly man these guns
 Cockrell of Missouri said he was op- posed to an increase in the infantry or cavalry arms of the service, but in this case the country was confronted by a serious condition. He regarded 1t as necessary that the guns provided by the Government should be properly cared for and manned. For that req son he had consented as a member of the committee to have the bill favora- bly reported.
 The bill was then passed, 52 to 4 The negative votes were cast by Bate of Tennessee. Clay of Georgia, Chiffon of Texas and Vest of Missouri.
 Morgan of Alabama secured the adoption of the following resolution:
 That the Committee on Naval Af- fairs is instructed to inquire and re- port whether a man-of-war equal, at least. to any warship in the world, to be named the George Washington, can be built, armed and commissioned within period of twelve months by the use of the facilities of the ship yards, machine shops. mines and for ests of the United States. wherever the same are found. and that the commit tee have leave to report at any time by bill or otherwise"
 The resolution was adopted without debate.
