A BIG NAVY AND EXPANSION
ADMIRAL KIMBERLY DEMANDS
PHILIPPINE ANNEXATION.
Glad That the Navy Is to Be En-
larged, For Without It Diplomacy
Is Impotent-

New York, July ga special dis
patch to the Tribune from Boston
says: Rear Admiral Kimberly, U. S.
N (retired), delivered an address on
Our Navy at the Chautauqua assem-
bly, grounds, Lake View, South Franz
ingham. After sketching the early
history of the United States navy and
its glorious achievements previous to
and in the civil war, the speaker called
attention to the fact that for two dec
AIDES after the close of the rebellion
the navy lay idle, it being apparently
forgotten. Many of the ships became
old and rotten, almost unsafe, he said.
1t was no fault of the naval officers.
Since them the navy had made great
strides. The armament of our navy
was superior to any in the world, but
its size was about sixth, when it
should be second at least. if not first.
Our government" he added, which
stands for morality and which seeks
to protect the rights of the weak. is all
right, but what it seeks to do can only
be done through an adequate navy.
Diplomacy is good, but there are times
when it is impotent unless it is backed
up by a strong navy. We are now
going to build up our navy to proper
size, and I am glad of it: but no mat

be practically useless unless they are
manned by capable officers"
Admiral Dewey was alluded to es-
pecialiy by the speaker, and his name
was greeted with loud applause.
Dewey" he said, was with FaTagut
in the civil war and acquitted himself
bravely. That he should not have for
gotten the lessons of that grand man
was shown in the battle of Manila bay.
His orders were to destroy the Spanish
fleet. and he did it; but he also had to
secure a harbor.
I'm the Philippines there are $4,000
square miles and 100000 population.
The only way to solve the problem is
to take the islands ourselves or TO set
them free, after establishing the best
form of government we can.
This victory of ours in the far east
not only means continued supremacy,
but it means carrying into Manila nine
teenth century civilization. We can
not shut ourselves off from the rest of
the world any longer. This opportunity
has been given to us. We must grasp

BANKRUPT LAWS VOID.
Wisconsin Judge Decides That Fed
eral Supersedes State Laws.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 29.-Judge
Johnson, in the circuit court, has hand
ed down an opinion to the effect that
the new general bankruptcy law mas
deprived the state courts of 1urlsdlc-
ton in bankrupt cases.
William Gedhart, who went into vol
untary assignment a year ago, and
wanted TO have the slate wiped off so
that he could begin even with the
world again, asked for an order dis
charging him as an insolvent debtor
from his obligations. This the judge
refused TO do, and in his opinion stated
that cursory study of the bankrupt
law convinced him that the state laws
were now imperative. and had been
since July /, informing the attorneys
they would have to wait until Aug. l,
when a petition may be filed in bank
ruptcy in the United States court.
The papers were withdrawn, and the
discharge will be asked of the federal
court. The ruling of the court struck
principals and attorneys in pending as
signment proceedings with surprise, as
it viii operate to suspend proceedings
in ali cases and send them to the fed
eral court.
Some of the attorneys are of the
opinion that the bankruptcy law does
not invalidate pending proceedings,
and a test case may be made. 1t is
also claimed by attorneys that plain,
everyday assignments may still be
brought in the state courts, subject to
an application by foreign creditors to
have the matter transferred to the
federal court.

MODERN RIFLES FOR THE ARMY
TWENTY THOUSAND SHIPPEI
TO PORTO RICO.
Ordnance Bureau Intends to Equip
All the Volunteers With Krag-
Jorgenseps-Smokeless Powder.

New York, July pa special dis
patch to the Times from Washington
says: Twenty thousand Krag-Jorgen-
sen rifles have reached Newport News
for shipment to Porto Rico for the use
of the volunteers who compose the
mass of the invading army. 1t is the
understanding of the ordnance bureau
that these arms We're shipped on one
of the transports that accompanied
General Brooke. If they did not go,
then they will be forwarded by the
next ship that sails for Guanica-
The rifles are the modern magazine
30-calibre that are used by the regulars,
and the only guns that can compete
with the Mausers employed by the
Spaniards. They will be substituted
for the old style 45-calibre Springfield
rifles with which the volunteers are
now armed, and will put the troops on
an equality with the veterans, so far
as equipment is concerned. 1t is not
expected that the total infantry
strength of the expedition will exceed
10000, so that every man - it will have
a modern arm, using the smokeless
powder that constitutes the chief point
of superiority of the new over the old
type of rifle.
This first shipment of 10000 rifles
marks the beginning of the effort
which the ordnance bureau is making
to equip the entire army, volunteers as
well as regulars with the 30-calibre
pieces. Tt will not be practicable to
get the new rifles to the troops in the
Philippines in time to do any good
there. but if peace is not declared by
fall. and it is then necessary to attack
Havana. the whole army will by that
time have the new rifles and smoke
less powder ammunition.
The new arms for the Porto Rico
expedition were shipped from Spring
field, where the government factory is
Smokeless powder cartridges accom-
pany the rifles, bet the supply is not
as large just at present as is desirable
1t will, however. be increased and re-
plenished as rapidly as possible. and
before any engagement of General
Miles force takes place the ordnance
bureau hopes to have an ample supply
in the hands of the army.
