MARINE ETIQUETTE.
An Elaborate System Of Salutes For Use
as Occasion Requires.

as Occasion Requires.
Oscar Klaussman describes in The
Chautauquan the elaborate system Of sa-
lutes the strict observance of which Is in
sisted upon in marine etiquette. The fol-
lowing excerpt gives an idea of its compli-
cation:
When a ship enters strange port, Il
greets the flag of that country with q sa-
Lutte of 81 guns, which Is answered imme-
diately from the shore, usually by the har-
Dor fort or by special shore battery.
When foreign warships lie In the harbor,
their national dag also Is saluted by the
incoming steamer and the salute Is return
ed by the ships lying at anchor. When
higher officials chance to be on the other
warships In port they, moreover, receive
their salute above described, but the flag
of an admiral Is saluted by q foreign war
ship only once In year.
But marine etiquette Is not exhausted at
shooting. When a warship enters har-
Dor, Immediately upon its arrival 1t makes
a visit, through its guard or pilot officer,
on the other warships already lying in
harbor or on the native squadron. During
the entire sojourn in the harbor the strict
est attention must be paid to marine ETH
quette When an admiral's ship lies In
the harhor, all the other warships adjust
their flags accordingly-that is, at even
ing, with music, drumbeat and other mil
itary honors, they lower their flag after
the admirals ship has first set the exam
ple Likewise In the morning they wait
to raise their flags until the admiral's ship
has hoisted its flag.
Even in the national hymns which the
orchestras of the ships play etiquette rules
must be observed. For instance, when a
German warship enters a strange harbor
where other ships are lying, its music at
noon, when, according to the old interna-
tional custom, all the ship orchestras are
assembled on their decks, always begins
with the national hymn of one of those
states whose ships are present In the har-
Dor. The order in which these national
hymns are played depends on the degree
and rank of the Oldest officer among them.

Messrs. Fred Coggin OF the Atlantic,
and Frank Halsey returned yesterday
from Keweenaw county, where they were
called on business matters. While in
Keweenaw the party visited the Arnold
mine and inspected the underground
WORKINGS. Tney ware greatly pleased
with what they saw and say the rock
from the sixth level is extremely rich.
The sixth level Is now being drifted ten
feet west and thirty feet east, and al
though the rock is not as rich as at the
sixth leyel, it can be considered far above
the average rock hoisted from the mines
hereabouts. In their opinion the Arnold
has great future before it.

UNDER SUSPICION.
COlored Man With a Bullet in His
Leg.

Mounted Policeman John Boiand, who is
on duty in the county in the vicinity of
Benning, is investigating a case involving
the supposed shooting of an alleged high
wayman by Mr.. James H. Frye, who lives
at Seat Pleasant. There is colored man
named James Holmes under treatment at
Freedmen's Hospital with a bullet in his
leg, and he is under police guard on suspi-
cion that he is the highwayman. He ap-
piled at the hospital Thursday afternoon
for treatment, saying he had been shot
in the county, but not under the circum-
stances of the shooting done by Mr. Frye,
which occurred early Sunday morning a
week ago, while he was returning home
from market. He had attended market
Saturday night, starting home about II
o'clock Just before reaching the District
line on Central avenue he was halted, as
he believes, by two men. Because of the
darkness he was unable to tell the color
of the man who demanded his money In
stead of handing over his cash he drew
his revolver and fired two shots at the
and went home. So certain was he that he
had shot the man that he returned to the
spot after daybreak and searched about
the road and the woods, expecting to find
the body Of his victim.
Mr.. Frye made no report of the affair to
the police, but Saturday afternoon Police
man Boland learned of the occurrence and
started to make an investiga ton with the
result stated He is still at work on the
case and hopes he will be able to fix the
crime upon the right party or parties.

DEPRESSION IN WEST INDIES.
Information in Reports of Consular
0HicerR

The bureau Of foreign commerce of the
| State Department has made public advance
| sheets of reports of consular officers in the
West Indies. They show that in some of
l the islands the business interests have suf-
| fered greatly from hard times due, as
| one consul described it, to the depressed
| conditions existing here, but most gener-
| ally to internal causes. Jamaica partcu-
! larry had experienced two years of severe
commercial depression. Contracted BUSH
ness operations are complained Of In sew
| eral cases there were agreeable exceptions
| to this gloomy condition and outlook so far
| as trade with the United States is concern
| ed, but they were limited mainly TO the Ba-
bamas and the Barbados.
The consuls in Cuba generally were I'M
able, owing to the Indifference of the Span
! ish officials, to furnish the statistics da-
sired Merchants were buying but few
goods, and were combining themselves to the
| necessities of life. The consul at San Juan,
Porto Rico, says the volume of business be-
tween that island and the United States for
1898 was as follows: Imports, 81 go 600; ex-
ports, S1.57300o. With the exception of
wire ana TN manufactures, the United
States was far behind England and Ger
many in the classes relating to stone coal,
glass, petroleum and metal and its manu-
factures. In the OIL drugs and chemical
class the United States was largest after
SPAIN In wool manufactures the fmporta-
tons were nothing compared to those of
England and Spain. ard in paper books,
etc. the United states made a respectable
showing after Spain. In the wood SEIZED lie
the United States was first. In the items
or scales and boilers the United States was
hrst, as II also was in provisions. The con-
SUI added; Il wish to call especial atten-
tion to the position occupied by the United
states in reference to the volume of trade
with this island in comparison with that of
other countries. Naturally Spain is first
with the United States second and this DO
sition has been the prevailing one for soma
years, showing that the natural tendency
ana graVitation of the trade of the island is
toward the United States. With a more lib
eral tariff policy and less DISCRIMINATION
toward the United States this trade could
be largely augmented, and would become
equal or superior to the volume of business
transacted with Spain. The reciprocity re-
iatons. although only in existence for a
short time. greatly increased the volume of
trade between the island and the United
States, and show what can be accomplished
In this direction. The fact is without the
tarin the United States would monopolize
nearly the whole of it,

Archb1shop Ireland on the Church
question in Our New Possessions.

Archbishop Ireland, who has been in this
city Tor several days, left Saturday night.
During his stay he has had several con-
ferences with President Mckinley The
archbishoD declined to discuss the signih-
canoe OF MS calls upon the President, but
IL mas been generally understood that he
was acting in the interest of the Catholic
Church as to its protection in our new
possessions. Archbishop Ireland dismisses
as without foundation the statements that
church matters are liable to cause dissen-
SionS. He said;
THE church question in our new possess
sions offers no difficulty whatever. Two
principles are already settled by the con-
stitution and laws of America. There will
be no union of church and state, such as
Is established by customs or concordate in
certain Catholic countries of Europe. There
Will De a complete protection of all prop
ertleS ana OF all persons. With such prin-
clpleS Catholics in the United States are
satisiled. and Catholics in our new possess
slons will be satisfied. The so-called church
question need not be considered by military
or peace commissions 1t is fully regulated
the moment the flag of this country is
raised over territory. The people of our
new possessions understand, l am sure.
this matter very we'll and will Loyalty ac-
cept the situation. 1t may not be very easy
Tor them at first to adapt themselves in all
cases to this situation; But the embarrass-
mehts fett Will be but temporary. The
people will soon realize that 1t Is their duty
to support religion by voluntary and per-
sonal contributions
certain people who talk of those terri
tories as fields for missionary efforts from
the United States do NOT know what they
are taiking about. sThey might with as
much sense organizes missions for the COM
version of the Catholicism Washington as
fer the conversion of the Catholics Of San
tlaso, Havana or San Juan-and their la
pors would have as cn,ieh prospect of sue
cess IN Washington as in those cities of
Cuba or Porto Rico.
CUBA and Porto Rico FORM an ecclesiasti-
cal province with the archbishop of San
tlago as metropolitan, and suffragan bish-
ops at San Juan and Havana. This prov
ince win take its place in the American
hierarchy, just as do the province of Bal
timorc and that of st. Paul. making the
nIteenth ecclesiastical province in the
United states. and bringing to our Catholic
population an addition of two and half
mliilons-not to talk of the islands in the
Paclhc, so whatever else will come to Amer
lea from the la j. war. considerable increase
OF numbers and power will come from it to
the catholic Church. AS Catholic, I am
very much satisfied with the way things
nave been going-and as an American,
am or course. thoroughly satisfied But if
were to speak at length of my feelings
as an American. the interview would be
TOO lengthy and will stop at the religious
feature OF the situation.
