SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
THE LESSON OF MANILA.

The advantages of a naval-reserve
system have had practical demonstra-
ton within the last few weeks. Hi
nois alone sent on short notice over
a thousand framed, or partially
trained, men to the navy. Some of
the eastern states did as well, and so
far as seamen were concerned there
was little delay in putting the navy
on a war footing.
At the beginning of the war the
naval militia was organized in Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti-
cut, New York, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan,
New Jersey, Louisiana, Ohio, Flor
ida, Virginia and California. There
were on the peace footing in these
seventeen states 3,871 officers and
men. After the declaration of war
the force was rapidly increased. In
some of the states the members of
the naval reserve hesitated to take
active service unless they could be
accepted as organized. In Illinois
the men made no conditions, and in
two weeks they were on the Oregon,
Indiana, and other war vessels and
were in very active service. In the
eastern states the naval militia were
thrown mainly to the coast and har-
Dor defenses, but those from states
with no harbors to defend went at
once into Cuban waters.
In an article in the Fortnightly
Review for June H. w. Wilson, the
English naval expert, contends that
the weakness of The British navy is
in its reserve and in its old vessels
cunted on paper as equal to more
modern vessels. The lesson of Ma
Mia, he argues, is against depend
men and gunners. Germany, France
and Russia are giving more atten-
ton to their naval reserves than is
England, and are more alive to the
demand for trained men and for i'm
proved warships.
In the last ten years Russia and
Germany have given special atten-
ton to their naval reserves, and it
would not be difficult for other ma
ton to put its navy on war footing.
England, Mr.. Wilson claims, has
been induced by board of anna
teurs to neglect the reserves and
would find it difficult to find trained
men for her fleets on a war footing.
She is losing ground while other
powers are gaining in naval strength.
The lesson of Manila points to the
Importance of trained men, to the
superiority of the newer warships, ic
the Importance of having ships and
fleets well differed. The lesson is
for the United States as well as Eng
land, Russia, Germany, and France.

MARRIAGES IN PERU.
Features of the Bill Recently Vetoed
by the President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Unitad States
Minister Dudley, at Lima Peru, has for
warded to the State Department copy OF
the marriage bill passed by the Peruvian
Congress Nov IL last but vetoed by the
President Dec 8. Mr.. Dudley's dispatch
clears up great deal of misunderstanding
which existed as to the attitude of the Pc
ruvian government towards this subject OF
so much Importance to foreigners, and which
has been the object of attack by the Prot
estant element of the community Tor many
years. Our State Department has lost no
opportunity to secure a change in the Pc
ruvian law which did not recognize the va
lidity of noncatholic marriages, and there
by invoked hardships on many Americans
resident in Peru. The bill which was vetoed
legalized purely civil marriages, and was
applicable to Peruvians and foreigners alike.
The veto was based on the two-fold ground
that the measure did not receive two
by the constitution, and that 1t was not
suited to the needs of the Peruvian people,
the implication being that no objection
would have been raised by the executive II
Congress had been content to limit the OPP
Grafton of the bill to marriages Of non
catholic foreigners So the more conserva-
tive measures intended solely for their ben
eft has thus been twice defeated through
adding to it civil marriage amendment. Inc
Congress provide for the registration or
marriages of noncatholic foreigners, ana IL
is expected that such a measure Will be
passed at the present session.

PREPARING FOR DEATH.
Theodore Durrant Makes Requests
Concerning His Execution.

SAN QUENTIN, Cal, Jan. 4.-Theodore
Durrant has rehearsed the scene of his own
death. At his own request, made absolute
~ without emotion. ne has been told every
incident that will mark the minutes of his
last hours of life. From the moment that
he awakens next Friday morning until
Warden Hale gives the signal to spring the
gallows trap Durrant knows what is ex-
pected of him. A book and several papers
on religious subjects were received at the
prison yesterday for Durrant. They were
offerings from woman who now resides in
Toronto She was a resident of San Fran
cisco three years ago and has displayed
an interest in DurrantS affairs since his
rest for the murder of Blanche Lamont.
Deputy Warden Edgar made a thorough
inspection of the book and papers and then
permitted Durrant to have them. Durrant
may invite fifty of the five hundred people
who will be present, but Warden Hale will
revise the list, and it is hardly likely any
of his attorneys will be seen at the gallows.
The condemned has made the following
requests concerning his execution: First,
that the rope used to hang him shall be de-
stroyed Immediately after his death so that
no person can say that he holds a piece of
1t as a memento: second that none of the
spectators shall be allowed to gaze on his
features after he is executed; third, that no
autopsy shall be held after death and that
no physician be allowed to examine his
body fourth, that after he is pronounced
dead his remains shall be delivered to his
parents as soon possible.

PENSION BUREAU Circulars.
An Appeal to congressman and an Or
der to Examinera.

WASHINGTON, Jan. A. - Pension Conn
missioner Evans has in preparation a cir
cular letter TO members of Congress ask
ing their cooperation in the order recently
issued prohibiting further consideration of
pension claims until one year has elapsed
from the date of last action. This step was
necessary because of the frequent calls of
congressman for a statement showing
status of claims, which congested the work
of the bureau to such an extent as to seri-
ously interfere with routine business. There
are few Instances where additional evidence
of further disability occurs within year,
and. according TO the new rule the case
may be taken up after that time. and i it
contains additional evidence of such char
acter as to warrant a reopening of the
case such action Will be taken.
Mr.. Evans has issued the following cir
cular letter TO all special examiners:
you are hereby directed while i'm the per-
Torrance of your regular duties TO keep a
close watch for any circular circular letter

OSHKOSH, Wis, Jan. 4.-"The statement

The trouble did not occur in the barroom,

About an hour later Mcdaniel rushed up to

to get mixed up in a fight so | stayed in
my room. Next morning l went TO i1ughs' S
room and for several hours assisted the doc

nostrils had been ruptured by the blows he
had received from McDaniels. We finally
staunched the flow of blood and Hughs
seemed to be all right. McDaniels apoio-
gized TO Hughs and we all parted the best
