Of the United States as soo a the
enemy IL driven out or submits to our
arms. But neither the president nor
his officers car extend the limits or en-
large the boundaries of the union. This
can only be lone by congress. As the
institutions and laws OF the United
States do not extend beyond the limits
before assigned to them by the legisla-
tive power, the inhabitants Of a con-
quered territory during its military &C.
cupation by the United States can
claim none of the rights and privileges
established by such laws"
Thus the conquered territory is under
the sovereignty and control OF the Unit
ed States, yet not a part Of the United
States. and the inhabitants of the Phil
ippine islands. when brought under sub
lection, enjoy none Of h rights and
privileges of citizens Of the United
States. The islands do not cease to be a
foreign country; the islanders continue
to be aliens. But the authorities all
recognize, at the same time, the fact
that. while we thus hold q region taken
under CONQUEST, ana, TIL ConBfcss tdnes

quered people as aliens. other nations

In West India Waters.

- HIS country's people are watch
ing so eagerly for news OF a
battle between Sampson and
the Spaniards that they are apt to be
unmindful OF the really important
changes in the war situation which the
past week has witnessed. One week ago
this morning the popular belief was
that the Cape Verde fleet was still hug
ging the shore on the other side Of the
Atlantic. Nobody could guess wheth-
er 1t was the intention Of the Spaniards
TO make for Manila or TO put to sea at
all.
HI change which this mornings sit
uation presents Is radical. We know
that the Spanish fleet which was at
Martinique two days ago. has moved
hundreds of miles westward, sailing ap-
parentiy in the general direction of Ha-
vana- We are left ardently to hope
that these %Spaniards will continue west
ward a little longer; II they do. they
are bottled up. sure. From the point
at which they are reported this morn
ing II is possible for them to escape a
battle by retreating along the line they
have sailed since Friday. II only they
persist In their movement toward Ha-
vana, they are surely ours.

cities of the United States. This an
nouncement really made no difference
whatever with h arrangements for
the disposition Of our fleet. but when
the impetuous Spaniards found u that

their rage. For a long time Barmejo
has been a prominent figure in SPANS

A Disappointment.

MI mlttees appointed and ar
rangements made for the for
NAL dedication Of the Hearst Free Ii
brary. on the occasion OF the visit OF
Mrs. Hearst to Anaconda, about ten
days hence. The library is ready for
the transfer OF its books and properties
that now occupy temporary qparters in
this city.
Mrs. Hearst is in California. where
she has lately made princely gifts to
the university of that state. 1t was
in her plans to visit Anaconda in order
TO inspect the new building and be pres
ent at the ceremonies incident TO Its
formal dedication. Yesterday a tele-
gram from San Francisco announced
hat Mrs. Hearst is compelled to be in
the East without delay. and that II will
be impossible for her to visit this city
on her eastward journey. She has,
meanwhile, sent instructions for the
transfer of the library to the new build
ing, and IL is expected that the moving
will be an accomplished fact before the
end OF May.
The information OF yesterday is to the
effect that Mrs. Hearst. on her return

service in charge to say what course

Our Minister'S Ambition.

"a EcAUsE Minister woodford de-
~ clines to be a major general In
the army. under appointment of
the president, they have 1t that his am
bition is to be governor OF New York
and that he Is setting his sails with ref
erence TO reaching that honor.
Properly defined. General woodford is
this country's minister TO Spain, on
leave. He was very much in the pub
lie eye a long as President Mckinley
persisted in negotiations of which the
American people wearied. His dis
patches indicated that he saw the way
to peaceful solutions of the pending
trouble long after every man on his
side the Atlantic realized that diplo-
macy had exhausted its In
fact, In the nam Of the president, Gen.
eral woodford was pressing a plan
which congress practically repudiated as
soon as IL found out what the plan was.
Every reader OF the news who kept
track Of the movements that reached
their climax in var will admit that
what has Just been written rs a correct
summary Of the events in which Cen
eral woodford has a conspicuous part.
He was hammering away at the dons
for an arTnistice. Spain trifed with
him: the government at Madrid yield
ed at length. as IL unwillingly: the con-
gress OF the United States-going an
gerously far In it's relations with the
European powers. as II seemed at the
tIme-pitched the whole diplomatic
business overheard, ignored both the
request for an armistice and the grant
ing OF IL, and declared war. the same as
II General woodford never had nego-
tiated. That is what the history Of our
war viii say. when il is written.
OF course. there is nothing in all this
thai brings discredit upon General
woodford; he was simply carrying on,
the instructions Of his government TIT
trouble with Spain came TO a head
when congres practically took the
business out Of the hands of the presi-
dent. And while the Standard cares

In II, the fact remains that the pressure
to which congres finally yielded came
from the democratic side-that, too, will
be said in the history of the war. when
II Is written.
II may be that General woodford
cherishes an ambition that has Its goal
at Albany. That is more than likely.
He was once the lieutenant governor Of
New York; he tried for governor and

is more likely to get is that Of member

Grades in the Americas Navy.

From the New York Sun.
The recent action OF in pro-
vlding for an addition to the number
of rear admirals and the promotion of
Dewey and Sampson have made a de-
scription of the grades in the navy a
matter of popular interest. Everybody
knows all about the army grades,
which are the same as those of the
militia. But the navy is farther away
from the ~people-except those on the
seashore-and there is less general
knowledge regarding its administra-
ton and the rules of rank among its
officers. The Increase in the number of
rear admirals corresponds to the in
crease in the number of major generals.
The ranks OF admiral and vice adj
miral were created during the war as
rewards for the best naval service, as
those of general ana lieutenant gen.
eral were created for the best army
service There were but two admirals,
David Glasgow Farragut and David
Dixon Porter. There were but three
vice admirals, Farragut, Porter and
Andrew Hull Foote. The rank of rear
admiral, like that of major general in
the army, to which it corresponds, has
been continuous in the navy since the
war.
The corresponding ranks in the navy
and the army are as follows:
Navy. Army.
Admiral. ......... .General.
Vice admiral. ...... Lieutenant general
Rear admiral. ...... Major general.
.Brigadier general.
captain. Colonel
Commander........ Lieutenant colonel.
Lieut.. commander. Major.
Lieutenant. ........C Captain.
Ensign. Lieutenant.
But as the president Is commander
in-chief of both the army and navy
the admiral does not command the en-
tire navy except under orders from
the president. as a command OF the
general of the land forces is limited
by the presidents orders. The officer
of the highest rank has command in
the fleet or squadron where he may be
present, the same as In the army the
ranking officer commands the corps or
division.
The sea forces of the United States
are, OF course. first, the entire navy;
second, a fleet; third. a squadron;
fourth. single vessels. according TO
their size and power. A rear admiral
commands a fleet, as a major general
commands a division. A commodore
commands a squadron, as a
general commands a brigade. A cap
tain commands a ship or the largest
size. as a colonel commands a regi-
ment. commanders Vesseis
OF the second class and n ofncers OF
minor rank have appropriate COM
mands down to the smallest cratt IN
the navy. Admirals and vice admirais
would have larger commands nan a
fleet, commands relative to that OF an
army corps, but for the fact that at
sea IL is not practicable TO give a SIN
gle officer command over the noaung
force covering half the ocean. They
therefore command fleets n squa-
drons. as, in the absence OF higher OF
ficers. c~ommodores command fleets and
~squadrons. In the navy the

The stacker consists of one long post
or pole set solidly in the ground and
extending 30 to 40 feet in the air, a
short arm of ten or twelve feet, and
the necessary ropes and pulleys. The
arm is fastened at the height desired
by boiling onto an iron band, some
times made from an old wagon-tire
inserted in a groove or collar cut
around the post. A strong wire, rope
or chain is then fastened to the outer
end of the arm, or derrick, and on a
band made to circle round near the top
of the pole. Three pulleys are suffi-
cient to hoist the load, and small
rope in the hands of the man on the
stack or ground enables him to pull
the hoisted load wherever desired.
AS no one has disturbed the farm
ers using the derrick, it is supposed
the stacker is not patented, hence no
royalties Will be demanded of anyone
who wishes to make one.-Joel Sho-
