MAY BUILD WAR VESSELS.
S"iPD"iiders Of the Lakes Want Old
Treaty Between United states
and England Abrogated.

In the interest of lake shipbuildinp
Don Nj. Dickinson, ex-postmast.r gen
eral, has filed in Washington a brief
looking TO the abrogation of the Rush
bagot treaty between this country and
Great Britain.
This treaty Is the one which pro-
vides that neither power shall main
tain on each of the great lakes at one
time more than one armed war vessel.
One clause provides that upon six
months notice by either party the
treaty shall cease 70 be binding.
The abrogation Of this treaty will
be OF especial Importance in view of
the fact that within year, or year
and half at the furthest, the en-
larged st. Lawrence canals will he
thrown open for general use. All of
these are being enlarged to 255 feet
long, As feet wide and II feet deep.
This will allow lake shipbuilders not
only 10 bid on the small torpedo-boats
but on torpedo-boat destroyers of the
very largest type, and on lighthouse
tenders, revenue cutters, and even
men-of-war of a considerable size.
Inc three fast unprotected cruisers

are but PSI feet long on keel, 81 feet
beam and 14h feet depth, so it will
be seen the lake yards will, if the pact
is done away with, be in position TO
bid on very large part of the work
which will be offered by the United
states within the next ten years.
The brief filed by Mr.. Dickinson is
the same one he prepared for the lake

country and England. Atthattime Mr..

hiram Maxim. the inventor of the

to this country from Europe. When
asked what he considered the chief
lessons of the war as concerns the pc r
sonnet of the navy. he said:
1t has taught us that a cruiser has
no business with battleship. That is
the opinion in England. The war has
also demonstrated that torpsdoes and
torpedo boats are not as effective as
was expected by many.
1T has demonstrated that the best
lighting arm Is the gun of extremely
high power-a gun which the proiec-
tile leaves at high rate of speed so
that its trajectory is fiat. We must
use guns of high power. The war has
also taught that almost everything
depends upon the man behind the
gun. A man who can shoot straight

'""i warfare Proves That the Re-
Voiver, Sword and Bayonet Are
Really Only Encumbrances

Santiago correspondent of the New
loTk Tribune says Col. Theodore
Roosevelt killed a Spaniard with his
revolver in the charge near San Juan
NIL on July l. This is apparently the
only case in which that weapon was
used with effect by either side in the
whole campaign. Nearly all the Off
GERS in both armies, or rather tbrea
armies, to include the Cubans, carried
swords or machetes, yet there does not
seem TO have been a single wound in
hicted with one of these. Thirdly all
the infantry carried bayonets, but il is
believed that not hurt made with ona
or these was dressed in anv hosnital
GERS In both armies, or rather the three
arms were carried by the thousand:
they cost great deal of money; with
the ammunition of the revolver they in
vowed the transportation of tons OF
thousands of pounds of weight. and
nowadays, especially in a tropical re-
glon, the great object is to burden the
soldier with as little baggage as possi-
Die. The question asks itself why are
they borne? Certainly, the primary
object of all three is TO wound and n
XIII. If in an entire campaign, in which
several thousand men were iniured
more or less severely, the revolver
SWORD and bayonet did virtually no
execution whatever, ought they to con-
tlnue part of the military equipment
in actual warfare?

MUST HAVE NEW DOCKS.
Demands Extensive Ha-
waiian Improvements-Pre
nary Estimates Prepared.

The navy authorities must shortly
give their attention to the establish.
ment Of coaling station and dock
yard in the Hawaiian islands. Rough
and preliminary estimates have al
ready been prepared, but the details
OF the establishment will be left 10 fu-
ture investigation, which will probably
be made by civil engineer detailed
from the bureau of yards and docks.
The chief of that bureau, Civil En-
gineer NJ. L. Endicott, believes that an
adequate dockyard and coaling station
should be established, and 1t Is esti-
mated that the cost of such a plant will
be over $1,5OO,OO0. The expense of de-
livering material enhances the first
cost.
1t is purposed to erect coaling sheds
and apparatus for handling fuel and to
build a dry dock capable of accommo-
dating the largest battleships. The
docking facilities in the island are of
the most limited character.

COAL STATION IN SAMOANs.


Important action has been taken bv
the navy department in conjunction
with the state department in the es-
adjustment of a coaling station In
Samoan islands. Some years ago the
United States acquired tract of land
at Pago-Pago. A quantity of coal was
shipped from Philadelphia and stored
In rough sheds, which have since been
demolished. the fuel having been util-
ized by vessels on the Asiatic station.
Recent events have indicated to the
Washington authorities the necessity
OF coaling stations in the Pacific. II
is said also that the attitude and proi-
ects of the Germans who have inter
ests and responsibilities at Samoa
have brought about the decision of
this government to establish a perma-
nent coaling station at Pago-Pago.
Pians are being prepared by the bu-
reau OF yards and docks for a pier,
substantial coaling sheds, and appara-
tus for handling material. There Is
available for this purpose an appro-
priation of s25O,0O0, and il Is expected
that the work will be undertaken at
once. Civil Engineer F. T. Chambers.
who has been on duty at the New
York navy yard, has been summoned
to Washington for duty in connection
with a new station.

TO REPORT Oh PHILIPPINES
H W. Harden Designated by Secre-
tnry Day tn Investigate General
Financial Conditions

T. W. Harden, formerly financial
editor of the Chicago Tribune, has
been designated by Secretary Day TO
inquire into the general financial CON
dition obtaining in the Philippine
Islands. lie will also look into the
conditions of the bar king system and
business, state Of exc mar &c, amounts
OF gold, silver and paper money in use,
rates of interest, and like questions,
and emboGy them in report to the
secretary.
Secretary Gage was casting about
for a good man for the position, and
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip, who
knew of Mr.. Harden's ability in this
direction. suggested his name. Mr..
Harden is well posted on financial
matters, and Secretary Gage expresses
the belief that he will be able to make
a thorough and wise report. His
commission will be similar to that
given Edward Atkinson when he Wis
ited Europe to report upon uses of
silver abroad.
Mr.. Harden will not be hampered
with instructions, but will use his own
discretion, and he has been given q
free field. 1t was Mr.. Harden who
gave the people of this country the
first news of the battle at Manila. He
had started on trip around the world
on the revenue cutter McCulloch, and
when the steamer reached Hong-Kong
war had broken out. The revenue cut-
Ter was attached to Dewey's feet.
After the battle he went with the Me-
Culloch to Hong-Kong and earned the
credit for sending the first news of
the great victory for which the coun
try was anxiously waiting.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Ruling That n Sustained Will Work
tn the Detrinent Of the
Volunteer Troops.

Judge Advocate General Lieber has
rendered a decision in which he holds
that volunteer officers commissions ed
by the governors of states vacate their
commissions in the state organiza-
tions upon being mustered into the
United States army.
Gen. Lieber's decision is similar TO
that rendered by Adjt. Gen. Filling
hast. of New York state, several DAYS
ago, which, however. Gov. Black
refused to approve.
In Gen. Liebers opinion the ma
tional guard is thoroughly disorgan-
lied. In fact, the substance of his de-
cision is that the state organizations
do not now exist In fact, and that the
governors of states have il in their
power to organize new regiments and
give out new commissions, to the det-
riment Of the volunteers now in the
field
In several states national guard Of
ficers were granted leaves of absence
during the existence of the war, and a
somewhat similar practice has been
observed in the regular army in cases
where officers were given indefinite
leaves TO accept commissions in state
organizations. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that Gen. Lieber's decision, if
followed, would also affect the regular
establishment.
1t is not believed that governors of
states will adhere to the rule, for, in
the opinion of army officers, it would
be disastrous TO the welfare of the
national guard as well as the army.
secretary Alger has not yet approved
the decision. This decision was rem
dered in the case Of Lieut.. Col Nav.
or the District of Columbia national
guard.
