Saluting the President.

Lieutenant Philip Andrews, U. S. n,
contributes to the July st. Nicholas an
article on Ceremonies and Etiquette
on a Man-of-War." Lieutenant Andrews
says:
The regulations of the navy set forth
just what honors shall be shown the
various high officials and military Of
ficers who visit our men-of-war. The
practice follows closely that in vogue
by all nations. so that it would be
very difficult to leave out any of the
numerous honors and salutes now Civ
en-. h more simplicity in the honors
shown officials would be better suited
to our republican form of government
is certain; but international courtesy
requires that we go through the same
ceremonies as those employed by the
most sensible countries. The Chinese
have a most sensible custom of rem
dering honors. They give a salute Of
three guns whatever the rank of the
visitor. h saves much noise and
waste of powder, and would be ex-
cellent practice for all nations to fol-
low.
When the president Of the United
States visits a ship of war of our coun,
try, he Is received at the by
he admiral, commodore or command
ing officer, together With such other Of
fcers as may be selected. The officers
OF the ship, in full uniform, are on
deck; the crew, in their best uniforms,
are at quarters for inspection, and the
marine guard and band are paraded.
AS the president steps on deck the
drums give four ruf11es, the band plays
the national air, The Presidents flag is
displayed at h main and a salute CT
t~Wenty-one guns is fired. When the
president leaves the same ceremony is
gone through with, the same salute
being fired when the boat containing
him clears the ship. his flag being
hauled down at the last gun
Any other vessels Of the navy pre-
sent give the sane %salutes, and the
crew, as the president passes, man the
yards of parade alcng the rail il the
ship is without $quare-rigged masts.
Manning the yards is one Of the Gus,
toms of the old navy and is dying out
with the disappearance Of square-rig,
ged masts. The n. en- stand on all the
yards, arms stretched out and hands
grasping the life lines. which are
stretched above the yard to give proper
support. 1t is a very pretty sight, as
the life lines can not be seen and the
men seem to be standing unsupported
on the yards. AS men-of-war today
are being built without sail power and
with only military masts this ceremony
has OF necessity been replaced by sim
ply %parading the crew on deck in the
most conspicuous places.

Declare They VIII Not. Leave Cuba
Until Paid.
Washington. Nov. A.-tAn interesting
bit Of information has reached the war
department in connection with the sail
ing Of troops for Puerto Principe. Ar
rangements have been made by the
Spanish authorities to send back to
Spain the Spanish troops, numbering
$500 men, upon the arrival Of the
American garrison. 1t was expected
that they would sail tomorrow or We'd
nesday, but an unexpected obstacle has
arisen among the men themselves.
declaring they will not return to Spain
until they have received their pay, now
far In arrears. for service in Cuba. The
mutiny extends not alone to the enlist
ed men, but to their officers, and Is d.
rectsd against the executive officials
Of the Madrid government on the ISL
and. Some of the men have not been
paid for nearly a year. and to all Of
them several months pay Is due.
The situation has created no partic-
ular concern in the minds of the Amer
lean authorities, as 1t Is not likely seri-
ously to affect the control Of that por-
ton of the island by the American
forces, but it Is realized that those $500
soldiers, If they should persist in their
refusal to return to Spain, might be-
come dependents whom 1t would be diff
flcult to care for. and ultimately, per-
haps, menace to good government on
the island.
The Spanish authorities express no
fear Of their ability to solve the prob
lem presented, but how they will solve
it If the men. backed by their officers.
absolutely refuse to return home with
out their pay Is not clear.

THE W. c. T. U. CONVENTION.


Mrs. L. Nj. stevens WIN Probably Be
Miss Wizards Successor.
st. Paul, Nov. 14.--Yesterday was q
quiet day among the w. C. T. U. dele
gates, so far as convention work was
concerned. A number of delegates
filled local pulpits both morning and
evening. But one session Of the con-
vention was held Miss E. w. Green
wood, worlds national superintendent
of the evangelistic department, preach
ing at 2:S0 o'clock at the Peoples
church. The Temple matter and cleo.
ton Of officers, which promises so much
excitement today and tomorrow, were
kept as much in the background as
possible for subjects in which all are
interested.
The general opinion has been that
Mrs. l.. M. Stevens vice presidential
large and acting president, would be
unopposed In her candidacy for the
place made vacant by the death Of
Francis Willard, but several other cam
didates have been announced. Mrs.
Martin H. Durham, of Ohio, one of the
Temple trustees and now state presi-
uSHt "a lOWut 10 d plOLllhtAl CdHui-
date. and her friends hope for help
from the friends of the Temple. An
other prominent candidate is Mrs. G. B.
Forbes, state president of Connecticut.
Mrs. stevenson's resignation leaves
the position of corresponding secretary
vacant, and a number of prominent
workers have been mentioned for the
Office. There Is little canvassing being
done and Miss Anna A. Gordon, for
merly Miss Wizards confidential friend
and secretary, seems to be the most
prominent In the field. There seems
no reason to doubt that the other Of
fcers will be reelected.
The place of the next meeting has
not yet been decided upon, but it is
probable that 1t will be Seattle.

DThe Democratic Wall From Sussex.
Tho Sussex Journal says:

Tho Sussex Journal says:
A great many peopls on the day after
the election WERE full Of queries as to how
the great Democratic defeat in the State
Of Delaware was brought about and why
the majority was SO large.
The answer is very plain, and can be told
in a very few words. II those who are in
terested will take into consideration the
large number Of Democrats throughout
the State who refused to get registered,
end with that, count tie solid colored vote
(which Is enormously and then add to that
the vote cast for the Republican ticket by
so called Democrats, land we might say
the majority Of this class are men who
have been fed and kept in Office by the Dem

last to be added to the above, and the rea-
son for the defeat Of the Democratic party
Is easily explained and seen.

and look over the past record of theRspub.
ican party in Sussex county during their
short reign, and notice how the county
has been run, and notice how the county
finances are today, he would hang his head
in shame to think that he so far forgot
himself as to cast his vote last Tuesday for
that party.
Now that they will have full control of
the county during the next two years, who
can tell what the outcome will be and
what great burden OF taxation will DO

Unfair Inspectors.

Many Of the inspectors at the recent cleo
don proved by their action that they were
unworthy Of the trust imposed in them.
That they acted unfsirly cannot be dis
puted. In every instance a majority Of the
votes thrown out and not counted, were
cast by Republicans. BY such conduct
Democratic candidates were returned as
sleeted and Republicans defeated, Fortu-
nately in some instances the Judges Of the
Court detected the intended frauds and or.
d,red the proper corrections made. In
New Castle aud St. Georges hundreds. sew.

lions Of injustics The destruction of the

should be made an example Of in order to
deter others from committing similar
crimes. By the side Of such vllliany ths

the lesser crime Is punished, we hope these
greater ones will not be allowed to pas un-
