~HE current number Of Harper's
Magazine has an exceptionally
interesting article from the pen
Of Captain Mahan. confessedly the
ablest naval strategist OF the time.
His works upon sea power aroused In
ternational interest and brought to the
author unstinted praise and the high
est commentator. With an almost
unequaled power OF generalization n
q clear. unbiased facility for the pres
entation Of historical facts in their
true relations. his work a marked
m epoch, a hitting contribution from
the nation which has given 10 history
John Paul Jones. Hull. Decatur. Perry,
Farragut and Dewey.
Speaking with unquestioned author
ity as he does. whatever Mahan says
commands a respectful hearing, IL not
ready acceptance of his views. In the
article in Harper's. Captain Mahan
disposes OF a group of popular fallacies
in relation to United states naval mat
tiers. faIlacies which persistently crop
out in congressional debates and In edi-
toriai treatment OF the nations naval
policy and which are. TO a large ex-
tent, held as sound political doctrine
by a great majority of the people. The
FIRST Of these fallacies Is that the United
States needs a navy for defense only.
a theory which has been pretty well
discredited since the beginning of hos
tilities with Spain. Mahan's article
was written before the outbreak of the
war. but the inherent weakness Of the
theory was thoroughly shown before
the convincing logic OF events demon
strated the strength Of Mahan's con-
tention. The best, the most effective
defense Is offense: the ability 10 strike
a quick. decisive blow that will cripple
the -nemy before he can attack.

~HE exercises OF the graduating

last evening attracted an audience
magnificent from every point Of view
and thoroughly a~ppreciative OF the
really excellent efforts OF the members
Of the class which has just completed
the curriculum of the Anaconda public
school system. The seven young grad
yates gave evidence Of careful and con-
scientious training: II was indeed a
capital and charming entertainment,
far and away ahead Of the ordinary
and too often perfunctory perform
ances OF the kind. Nothing could have
been more creditable to the progressive
city of Anaconda-it was a superb au-
dience and the class. while not large

merit that It stamped all who took part
in IL as Jealous and diligent students,
possessing bright. capable minds which
earnest teachers had cultivated sys-
tematicaily and well. The Anaconda
public school system Is all that the
most cxacting could desire.

POLICEMEN
DEFENDANTS
McCuen Suing Four Of
ficerS For $4,000.
CHARGES FALSE ARREST.
Taken Into Custody For Selling
Pap:rs Without License.
CHARGES FALSE ARREST.
HE WAS AFTERwARD RELEASED

Deputy Chief of Police Egan, Captain
Magill of the Third police station and Officers
Mayno and skinner A. Collier were defend
ants in suit for false imprson brought
by Alexander McCuen, which was tried be-
fore jury in Judge Wilbur's court this after
noon. McCnen seeks to recover $4,000, and he
was arrested on n charge OF selling news
papers In front OF st. Josephs church without
having license. as required by the Board
Of Aldermen.
The plaintiff claims damages because he
was arrested without reasonable cause. be-
Gauss he was taken through the public
streets in the patrol wagon, n vehicle used
in conveying felons and other criminals to
the police station. and because he was de-
tanned at the station a long time.
The defendants In thcip pleas assert that
there were reasonable grounds for the arrest.
that they at first believed the plaintiff had:no
license to sell papers. but afterwsrd on an
examination found some evidence that n
license had been given him. but are now con-
vinced that he had no license and that the
arrest was proper ono.
IL is claimed TINT Deputy Chief Egan gave
the order to Captain Magill to look up Nc
Cuen, who was selling papers in the
Mayno to make the arrest, and he did so an d
the defendant Collier is the man who was
on duty at the station when McCuen was
brought In and locked up. A short time after
the plaintiff was arrested his father came to
the station and asked why the arrest had
been made, and he was told his son sold
papers without having license. The father
pointed TO the badge on his sons cup. and
Captain Magill. IL is alleged said. THAT'S a
fake" and finally let the boy go with his
father when the latter promised to have him
ut the city hall the next monrnig. The
promise was kept, and after an exami nation
of the records the plaintiff was discharged.
Colonel q. J. Arms In his opening address
to the Jury. said that he would show that
there was malice on the part Of the deputy
chief in causing the arrest Of the plaintiff. for
there had been quarrel between the fami
lies Of the second police officer Of the city
and the McCuens, and that short time be-
fore the arrest SON Of Egan's was selling
newspapers on Sundays for the same man
that McCuen did, and the two young men
auarreling, young Egan was discharged. A.

washington, June 3.--Assuming that
the Hawaiian resolution will pass the
house during the present session. the
senatorial supporters of annexation are
counting confidently upon securing ac-
tion by the senate before adjournment.
Thursday they proclaimed their inten-
ton to call up the house resolution i'm
mediately after the passage Of the war
revenue bill, providing the house had
not in the meantime acted upon 1t. The
administration's active support OF an
nexation will materially assist them in
overcoming the opposition of the mem
bers of the finance committee. They
even declare that since the military
necessity of securing Hawaii has been
made apparent. some of the Democratic
members OF the committee who have
been among the staunchest opponents
of annexation will not oppose the meas
ure.
