The Russian MinistIc of War is ex- perimenting with aluminium for horse shoes. The cavalry horses in the army are being shod with aluminum-one shoe to each animal, the remaining three being shod with ordinary iron shoes So far as the experiment has gone it is found that aluminium shoes wear longer and are less affected by mud and moisture. They weigh two and a half ounces less than irsn shoes.

EXPANSION POLICY QUESTIONS.
british Claims Agninst Iawnii--Chi-
nese Claims 10 Citizenship.


WASHINGTON. December 2.-The
United States Cover ment is being called
upon to face some questions of interest
resulting from the expansion policy. The
British Government. some time before tho
annexation OF Hawaii to the United
States, flied with hawaii a number OF
claims for redress for the ill treatment
and Illegal confinement Of British subjects
involved I'm the revolutionary movement
which overthrew the queen. These
amount to several hundred thousand dci-
lars in the aggregate, and the question
is. the Hawaiian Government having
failed to settle them, whether the United
States Government does not inherit the
liability. The claims are just such ~
were filed by the late Secretary Gresham
against the Hawaiian Government in be-
half of a number OF alleged American
citizens, most of whom afterward turned
out 10 be aliens. None Of our claims
were pressed. but they formed the foun-
dation for the British claims.
Another question, and one Of more i'm
portance, Is the determination Of the
st1tus OF somero. ouf IeVly-1cquired c.
izens or subjects. Already, a Chinaman
by birth, but Philippine by residence.
has applied for recognition as an Ameri-
can citizen. Another Chinaman i'm Hawaii
wants passport, showing that he IS
a citizen Of the United States. The an
neXatiOn law prohibits the coming into
the limits of the United States Of Chinese
persons from Hawaii but the 'constitu-
ionality of any act that proposes TO dis
criminate among American citizens has
been raised and this Chinaman is a citi-
Zen by adoption.
These are a few Of the questions that
have already arisen and others are ex-
pected to follow in the near future.

THE NAVAL MILTTIA.
Meeting Of the AssociRtion-shnll
There lie u National Naval Reserve:

PHILADELPHIA, December 1.-THE
fourth annual meeting Of the Association
OF Naval Militia Of the United States was
held here to-day on board tho old receiv-
ing-ship st. Louis, representatives being
present from Caln ornia Georgia, Louis
lana. Maryland. Virginia, Now YORK. New
Jersey, Missouri, Florida, and other
States.
The meeting will be one Of national i'm
portsnce on account OF the movement nov
on foot looking toward the formation OF
a national naval miitfa.
The conference was called TO order by
Captain J. ". Miller. OF New York, presi-
dent OF the associa tLon, who in few re-
marks introduced Governor Hastings. In
"a brief speech the Governor formally
welcomed the delegates 10 the State, and
expressed his high appreciation OF the
record made by the militia during the
recent war. When the Governor had con-
cluded he was presented with vote OF
thanks by the delegates. Captain John
W. Bartlett, who han charge OF the aux
iliary naval force during the war. spoke
briefly. lie said the Navy Department
made some mistakes. as had also the naval
militia. There were hound 10 be mistakes
In times OF war. and these can now be
happily overlooked.
Letters OF regret from Secretary-of-the-
Navy Long and Assistont-Secretary
Charles II. Allen were read, IN which they
gave pressure OF public business as a rea-
son for being unable to attend. Ldeuten-
ant Switzerland however. was present,
as a representative Of the Navy Depart
ment. and made q very able address.
Upon the conclusion of the reading OF
the reports the remainder Of the day
was given 20 a general discussion or the
advisability of forming a naval reserve OF
national character. 1t appeared TO be
the opinion of all those participating In
the discussion that such a step would be
q move I'm the right direction, and about
the only point on which there seemed to
be a difference was whether or not the
State naval militia organizations should
be dispensed with.
After adjournment for the day Com
mander Emerson, OF the Maryland re-
serves. gave q dinner, at the Hotel Wal
ton. in honor OF Captain Bartlett and
which was attended by the other officers.
This was followed by a reception TO the
members of the assoOia ton by Com
mander Muckle. at his home.

BURGLARS GOT GOLD COIN.
The store of sattcrdeId & Co. Robbed
of Over $500.

Some time Thursday night the safe in
the store Of SatterheId x Co. produce
dealers, No. IL north Eighteenth street.
was entered. and between $50 and 5000
IN gold coin was stolen.
The burglary was discovered early yes
terday morning when the proprietors
went TO open the safe The combination
was not set. nor had It been set the night
previous This made II easy for the
burglars TO effect an entrance into the
safe. IT was little more than unlocking
the safe.
Nothing was taken. save the gold, which
was In n tin box A number of valuable
papers were left undisturbed. In the
casa-drawer. not far from the safe, there
was a considerable sum OF money. 1t
was not touched. The drawer was not
tampered with. On the first and second
floors of the store were many articles OF
value. Nothing has been missed.
The police were promptly notified Of the
robbery. and Detectives TOmlnson and
Hall made a careful investigation Of the
burglary. There is not n clue, so far as
known. The police are very reucent re-
garding in the case.
The store is one Of two old-fashioned,
three-story brick buildings sitting side
by side Between them Is a stairway lead
ing to the second floor of the mate to TIE
stOrehouse. The theory is that the
burglars went up the hallway to tho
second floor of the other house. thence
to the roof of lower house in the rear,
thence through window into closet
on the third floor Of the storehouse,
thence, by forcing a door and going down
the stairs, onto the second floor, and
thence to the first floor where the safe
was located, well i'm front.
The door was forced. A woman who
resides on the second floor OF the other
house says she heard no noise during
the night.
The robbery looks as mysterious as
that attempted in the Tower store and
the offices OF the Singer Sewing-Machine
Company, on Broad street, on the nigat
Of Thanksgiving-Da

FIRST CUBAN COURT OPENED.
The Supreme Tribunal mt Santiago
started by Gen. Wood.


SANTIAGO DE CUBA, December p
The opening Of the recently reorganized
Supreme Court this morning was an
impressive ceremony. General Wood In
a few forceful words, opened the pro-
ceedings. delivering the court, i'm the name
of the United States Government to
the Chief Justice and his associates, and
demanding from the public implicit Obe-
dience to the courts decisions and de-
crees. Chef-Justice Echeyerria, replying,
accepted the judicial offices in the name
of justice, formally recognizing the
United States as the supreme power. and
declaring that the bench would render
justice 10 rich and poor alike.
The proceedings terminated with hand.
shaking. after which General Woods
party was escorted to the entrance By
the entire legal body.
The first session of the first purely
Cuban court was then opened. Among
Cubans the event is a matter for general
congratulation. The local newspapers
consider it the dawn Of a. new era and
express the hope that the judges, who
are men Of legal acumen and profound
research. may be able TO show the world
that the Cuban population has within
itself the elements Of good government.
The same papers are exceedingly COM
plimentary in their illusions 10 General
Wood, declaring il quite impossible that
any other American could have secured
a better grasp of the entire situation"

CuBANs AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Garcia Commission COnfers with
Mckinley, but Entirely InOfIicinIly.

WASHINGTON December 2.-The mem-
bers Of the Cuban Commission, headed by
General Garcia, called at the White House
at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon, and were
soon ushered into the Cabinet-rOOm. where
they were received by the President. The
meeting, however, was entirely informal
and unofficial in character. II lasted an
hour and half The greeting of the
President was very cordial, but the dis
tinguished Cubans were received as citi-
zens Of Cuba, and not as having any
official status Nothing could be learned
at the White House as to the subject of
conversation.
Senior Quesada. who presented General
Garcia and the other members OF the
commission to the President, and acted
as Interpreter I'm the conference that fol-
lowed, said this evening that as the con-
ference was of a private nature, it mani
festly would be improper 10 make public
any Of its details. He was satisfied he
said. however. that the interview was en-
tirely satisfactory to both the members
OF the Cuban Commission and the Presi-
dent.
This evening Major-General Miles COM
mander of the army, called upon General
Garcia a his hotel The call was unoh-
clal. The two soldiers spent a pleasant
half-hour together.
