-Four ten-inch rifles and two eight
inch rifles. which have been tested at
the Sandy Hook proving grounds, will
be carried by the schooner Daisy Far
lin which will sail for Key West some
time this week. While it is stated
that these guns are to be landed at
Key West for the Notifications there,
it is believed here that some of them
will find their way to Dry Tortugas,
which is being fortified for an adj
vanced naval station. Other guns are
soon to be sent south from the Water
viet arsenal, and for the first time the
stragetical value of the well known in
side water route will be tested
Risk of trusting guns and ammuni-
ton on the open sea, where they would
be liable to capture should hostilities
occur, have been recognized by the
authorities The barge M. Moran has
already been sent to Troy and will be
loaded with supplies. 1t could carry
a cargo of 800 tons through the canals
and shallow straits which constitute
the inside channel from New York to

AN ENGLISHMAN'S VIEWS
Or Present Conditions aud Occurrence
Leading Up to Them

OF Present Conditions aud Occurrences
Leading Up to Them.
Boston, March 21.-General Mont
gomery Moore. of Halifax, n. s., COM
mander of the British land forces in
North America, spent Sunday in Bos-
ton
What do you think of the suggested
alliance of the two English speaking
nations?" he was asked by represent
ative of the Associated Press.
That has been long talked of and
is desirable, but we have an idea that
many of your people do not have any
too much affection for Great Britain.
We think that the history you teach in
your public schools does not do Eng
land justice and that it tends to preju-
dice the young against u.s. The Eng
fish have great pride in the fact that
they planted the colonies here which
have produced this vast republic and
think we should be closely allied"
do you think that war will be the
outcome of the Maine AFFAIR."" asked
the reporter.
mo, do not; | do not. 1t would be
deplorable if it should. 1t would put
the nation back very many years.
do not think there will be any cause
for war, Nothing is known of course
officially, but | am inclined to think the
explosion was an accident. Those
things have happened in our navy. 1t
is seldom, or almost never, that con-
spiracy is so completely successful as
to destroy vessel as was the Maine.
1T is preposterous to think that the
Spanish government could have been
concerned, but if any of her servants
did it, | think the law of nations would
compel her to make reparation and
discipline the offenders. If one OF my
servants should drive over a man in
the streets I should be legally respons-
ible. So it would be if a servant of the
Spanish government blew up the
Maine But, if the deed was done by
desperadoes, l do not think Spain could
be held responsible / should not want
to express a decided opinion on this
point, but warships would be undesir-
able visitors in friendly ports if the
nation in whose ports they were visit
ing had to become insurers of their
safety under all conditions"

SOLDIERS WOULD BE SAFE
In Cuba, il They Boiled Their Water and
Cooked Their Food.

Cooked Their Food
Chicago, March 21-Uncle Sam has
only to issue an order to his troops to
Cook your food and boil your drink
ing water" to render the whole Ameri-
can army immune from yellow fever.
according to Prof. Edwin Kicks, of
Rush Medical College, an account Of
whose discovery of yellow fever germs
was published fortnight ago.
The Spanish soldiers in Cuba, among
whom the mortality from yellow fever
has been great, have eaten and drunk
cooked and uncooked food and water
Unfortunately. 1t is Prof. Kicks
theory that if the simple precaution of
boiling and cooking had been followed
the army would have been practically
immune from the disease.
In the event of war with Spain, the
American troops sent to Cuba would
be forced to depend largely on food
canned in the United States, which
would lessen the danger considerably.
1t is Prof. Kicks opinion that the ia
miliar injunction of the Chicago health
department to boil the water" would
complete the safety of the troops from
the disease, whose ravages are more to
be dreaded than Spanish bullets.

REPORT PRESENTED
To the Methodist Ministerial Associate
of Chicago

To the Methodist Ministerial Association
of Chicago.
Chicago, March 21-At meeting of
the Methodist Ministerial Association
to-day, the Rev. John Lee, chairman,
read a report of the Committee on
Religious Liberty for Professionals in
South America" The report stated
that the committee was greatly en-
couraged. 1t aims to accomplish three
things
i. To secure religious liberty for
missionaries working in the Republics
of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.
81 To secure religious liberty for
native Christians who dissent from the
Roman Catholic faith.
20. To secure to those South Ameri-
can republics the fullest civil liberty
for foreigners and native born Pro-
testants, especially by the legalization
of marriages performed by others than
the clergy of the Roman Catholic
church.
The committee, it was stated, asks
nothing more for the Protestants in
these South American republics than
is cheerfully accorded to Roman Cath
olics in this republic
Letters had been addressed to prom
inent men in various parts of Christen-
dom. stating the aims of the commit
tee, and a large number of replies had
been received Among them was one
from ex-President Cleveland, who
wrote:
Il am an advocate of the largest lib
erty to all people in our own land and
am strongly in favor of any movement
having for it's object the perfect Sc
curity and absolute freedom in the
South American States of our citizens
sojourning or residing there. The de-
mand for such freedom, it seems to me,
is only reasonable and just"
Ex-President Harrison replies:
Certainly the religious liberty which
is now universally given by Protestant
countries to citizens and residents of
the Roman Catholic faith calls for re-
ciprocal treatment in Roman Catholic
countries"
The Rev. John w. Butler, of Mexico,
in his reply. referred to a conversation
he had had with President Diaz who
said:
The clergy in my country are not
all tolerant, but We intend to be and
to maintain religious and civil liberty
at all costs"

THE HOLLAND
Makes a Remarkably Good Showing
on Trial Trip--.Further Tests
Planned,

New York, March 21.-The Holland
submarine boat made another trip
from Perth Amboy, N. j., to-day. At
a depth of Is feet under water she
showed good speed and was handled
with ease. After she came to the
surface the boat grounded in the soft
mud and was hauled off by tug. The
boats coming tower will be filled with
electric lights before another trip is
made.
The trial of the Holland in deeper
water probably will occur during the
latter portion Of the week. Goth the
guns are in need Of repairs. as the
breaches now admit air, and there are
other details aboard that need atten-
ton When this has been done the
Holland will start for long trip in
deep water in the lower bay and prob
ably will remain submerged for two
miles Her guns will then be fired
for the first time.
Elihu B. Frost, treasurer of the COM
pany, says it is unlikely that any at
tempt will be made to fire at a target
at the outset If the Holland can get
close enough to the enemy's vessel in
time Of war to do effective work, great
accuracy of craftsmanship will not be
required
1t is probable that the Holland will
be taken to Washington next week.
She will be attached to pontooons and
towed through the canal. She will be
tested in fresh water at the 9apital.

THE GREAT BRITAIN OF THE
EAST

The Japanese may in many senses
be compared to the people of Great
Britain. To begin with, they number
40, 100000; they live in an island coun-
try of about the same area as Great
Britain, and they are becoming de-
pendent upon foreign countries for a
large proportion of their food. With
the lapse of each year, and especially
since the war with China this depend
ence on outside sources is increasing.
The Japanese authorities have been
much concerned to know why their
people are smaller than the European
races. They believe they have discov-
cred the reason, They have conclud-
ed that it is owing to their dieting al
most exclusively on rice or fish. Con-
sequently the Japanese are now be-
coming meat eaters. and the movement
is this direction is a national one-al-
most a patriotic one. The heads Of
families make a point of giving their
children meat once a day, if they can
afford to do so, and when they are
drilling or working hard Japanese
men have meat twice a day. The older
generation do not take to meat very
rapidly The taste for it has TO be ac-
quired; but when a Japanese does ac-
quire the taste for European food he
cannot do without it.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, March 21.-Ihe
disinterested Republican leaders here
interviewed to-day to put stop TO the
fight between the factions of Dorr and
Edwards, which was proving very in
furious to the party.
Notwithstanding the fact that Ed
wards had been defeated in his at
tempt to have a meeting OF the Con-
gressional Committee to depose Chair
man Winchester, and TO fix the place
and date OF the convention, and that
no legal meeting could be held to-
morrow, the Edwards men intended to
hold a meeting nevertheless and go
through the form of electing chair
man IN the place of A. H. Winchester,
DORIS friend, fixing the basis of rep
resentation and naming the date and
place OF the Congressional conven-
ton.
The Dorr men did not intend to rec
ognize anything done at this meeting,
but would attend TO all their matters
when a meeting was held under call
regularly issued by Chairman Win
chester. The result would be two
chairmen Of the committee, two con-
ventions called and two places fixed
for holding them, and the party would
be hopelessly divided.
This could not be permitted.
The Dorr men were prevailed upon
to agree to meeting with the under
standing that no attempt would be
made to depose Chairman Winchester
or to fix the date and place for the
nominating convention. The only bus
mess to be transacted is the election
of a temporary chairman to serve till
Winchester returns from South Amer
lea and TO fix the basis of representa-
tiCn in the convention.
This saves Edwards from the hui
initiation of defeat and will not hurt
Dorr.
This agreement will be carried out
tomorrow The committee is COM
posed of one member from each of
the seventeen counties Nine of these
are favorable to DORIS denomination
and eight are for Edwards.
