Let us see exactly what the work
of the Naval Militia is to be.
They are first, as has been said, a
coast-guard IN charge Of the Coast
Sigual Service. This service is,
with the cooperation of the Light
house Board. TO be put IN imme-
diate operation. Whenever there
Isl lighthouse on the coast IN
the vicinity of harbors there is to
be a signal station. and these are
to be connected by means of life
saving stations and new signal
stations, SO that there will be a.
chain of stations connected at
principal points with Washington.
Cape Cod, Navesink Light, near
Sandy Hook. Barnegat, Cape May,
Cape Henry. Jnpitor Inlet, Fla,
Tampa, Mobile Bay and Port Eads
are to be the principal stations on
the Atlantic and Gulf; San Diego.
San Francisco and the mouth of
Puget Sound on the Pacific. Be-
tween the stations, on each coast,
communication viii be kept up by
semaphore, heliograph, flag and
wire by day, and by the usual
methods of night signaling and
wire at night. The same means
of signaling will be used to COM
municate with the fleets in the
offing, which in turn will use car
rier- -pigeons.a and when near enough.
signaling. as a means of communi-
cation with stations on the shore.
With these stations manned, it
would be impossible for an enemy
to approach our principal harbc rs
unseen, unless, indeed. a heavy
fog hid his movements. The outer
line of cruising ships and scouts"
of the mosquito Fleet cruising
fifteen or twenty miles out, would
detect the approach; and while the
men-of-war would offer battle. the
swiftest of the scouts would hasten
shoreward and signal the nearest
station. The news would fly from
post to post along the shore, and
to Washington; and when the
second line was reached gunners
would be at their posts, electricians
ready to press the buttons which
fire the mines, and the torpedo-feet
ready for action.-Frank Leslie's

rs In A TIGHT PLACE.
ENGINEER MENocAL MUST FACE
>COURT-MARTlAL.
Charged that He Permitted Gross
Frauds in Construction of the Brook
lynn Dry Dock-A Reserve Army to Be
Modified in Canada.
He Faces Dismissal.

Two specific charges upon which Civil
Engineer Menocal is to be tried by court
martial next> month have already been
drawn by the judge advocate general of
the navy at Washington, the substantial
ton of either involving dismissal from
the service. The first is that of sulpable
negligence in the performance of duty,
under which fall at least ten specifica-
tons, every one fortified by the most dam
aging evidence. The second charge SO
far formulated is that of neglect of duty,
and under this at least dozen instances
are specified. They relate to the demon
strable gross frauds practiced directly I'M
der the inspection of Mr. Menocal, not on
occasions when he was temporarily alb
sent from the scene of operations or when
subordinate was filling the inspectors
place; not when Mr.. Menocal was in Flor
ida, or during any of his frequent visits
to New York City, but when, it is assert
ed, he was in direct charge of the con-
struction Of the Brooklyn dry dock and
actually witnessing the progress Of the
contractor. The efforts of the naval legal
authorities, however, have not ended with
drawing the first two charges with their
specifications and collating the testimony
to secure conviction upon them. Assist.
ant Judge Advocate General Laucheimer,
who has been in Brooklyn working up the
case and examining the evidence dug out
of the mud by Constructor Bowles, has
some time in which to complete his pre-
sentation for the prosecution, and 1t is
strongly intimated that before that period
expires he will charge collision between
the Government inspectors and the con-
tractors

persons who had seen him thrown from

when Kennedy was brought in, as he was
disguised by false chin beard and was
equipped for an expedition that could not
have meant peace for his fellow men. In
one of Kennedy's pockets was black
domino mask. Distributed about his
clothing were the several pieces Of a dis

a 45-caliber revolver and a liberal supply
of cartridges and shotgun shelA;. He also
carried lantern. When Kennedy re-
covered at the hospital he refused to talk

Several Lives Lost.

The st. John train on the Maine Cen

press, was wrecked in a cut at Arono
Basin Mills and six cars, including the
smoker, were thrown into the ditch. One
OF the passenger cars, in which were
many persons, was almost entirely demol-
ished. Two persons were killed and
twenty seven injured, several probably ia
tally. Two of the injured have died since
the wreck and the condition of others is
critical AT the time of the derailment,
which was due to spreading rails, the
train was running thirty-ive miles an
hour. The private car of President f. A.
Wilson of the Maine Central Railroad,
which was occupied by President and
AIRS. Wilson and two ladies, was the only
one which was not thrown into the ditch.

articles, which include brooches, lockets,
rings, snuffboxes and so on, had been as
sessed as jewelry and under that classih-
cation would have to pay a duty of 60
per cent. Mr.. Gould declared that they
should come in as works Of art at 70 per
cent, and there is disposition to insist
upon assessing the collection as jeweiry.
Its value runs up into the thousands.

DUTY MAY BE REPEALED.
Rumor that the French May Repeal
the Tariff on American Wheat.

Rumor that the French May Repeal
the Tariff on American Wheat.
It is rumored that the French Govern
ment is about to repeal the duty on wheat,
which amounts to 371@ cents a bushel.
Italy has already reduced the wheat tar
if, in response to serious bread riots, in
which it was necessary to call out the
troops. Much interest is attached to the
Chicago wheat market. Joseph Letter,
through his agent, George B. French, has
purchased from twelve to fourteen mill
ion bushels Of wheat, and claims that this
cereal will shortly advance to $1.25' a
bushel. The clique has cancelled all con-
tracts for foreign freight room, claiming
that the home demand will more than alb
sorb all the wheat now in sight. The
price is steadily advancing and it is a bat
tie royal between young Letter and the
Chicago elevator interests. Charges are
made that railroads are making discrimi-
mating rates and this matter will proba-
bly, be fought out before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
