Washington, May l7.-What will the
coming sea fight show to be the most
formidable style of warship. of all the
armed vessels upon which the nation
pins its faith? This is the question TO
which the whole world awaits a prac-
teal answer. To obtain the answer ii
will be necessary to spill much blood,
and send millions of dollars worth or
property to the bottom OF the sea, but
no practical lesson in warfare was
eVer earned without an expenditure
of this kind, and. anyhow, as the blood
shedding Is inevitable. the most might
as we'll be gotten out of IL.
The designers OF fighting ships have
theorized beautifully. They have had
so many years of peace in which TO
plan and scheme hat IL Is natural
tina they shoul believe that the art
of designing and building floating
fighting machines has been brought to
perfection. They have graded the
strength Of the nava craft from the
big battleship to the saucy little tor
pedo BOAT according to all the best
teachings Of the art of war. which in
clude such apparently unwarlike max
inns as hat there are times when the
right thing to do IL TO run away and

enemy's reach.
Those who fight and run away VIII
live To fight another day" Is an adage
that has been improved upo by our
naval designers. Their revised version
of the proverb, the revision of which
dates from the birth of the ironclad
lighting craft, is those who run away
without fighting will live to make some
other craft tight or run away"
IL would be folly for a cruiser to at
tack a battleship. for the reason that
the battleship is supposed to be in
vulnerable TO the attack OF the guns
hat a cruiser usually carries. ON the
other hand IL would be absurd for a
battleship TO chase a cruiser that was
beyond gunshot distance. for the cruis-
er would walk away from the battle
ship in a ria of speed. h Is the
principle upon which modern vessels OF
war are built. Where armor h lack

tage OF the numbering battleship may
be offset by the cruisers speed.

Mr.. John Peterson. of P~atoutville, La,
was very agreeably surprised not long
ago. For eighteen months he had been
troubled with dysentry and had tried
three of the best doctors in New Or
leans, besides half a dozen or more pat
ent medicines, but received very little
relief. Chamberlain's Collie. Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. having been
recommended to him. he gave IL a trial
and to his great surprise, three doses of
that remedy effected a permanent cure.
MIR. William Mcnamara, a well-known
merchant Of the same place. is well ac-
quainted with Mr.. Peterson and attests
to the truth Of this statement. This
remedy is for sale by druggists.

order naming the men who will be re-
tanned as clerks and guards. There

privates from each company

The impression prevails among seme
Of the men that they have to wear

Colonel Gordon will remain in the

M'vEY HAS MRS. BOTKIN
But a Writ Of Habeas Corpus
Has Been Served Upon Him.
IT Is THE PRISONERS LAST HOPE
IL THAT FlAlLS THE DETECTIVE
WILL BRING HER HERE AT
ONCE WITHOUT AID-ATTOR-
NEYIGENERlAI4 MAY GO WEST

Dover, Oct. Attorney General
White yesterday received telegram
from State Detective Bernard McVey in
San Frahoisco THAT Mrs. Cordelia Bot
kin is now his prisoner and AL at
tempts ito secure her release by the
California authorities must be made
through him.
The attorney general Immediately
wired the detective asking him If he
needed any assistance in bringing his
prisoner here, and received the reply:
"No. I'll produce her in Delaware
alive and we'll"
1t is probable that McVey received
possession Of Mrs. Botkin early yester-
day morning. but he was almost i'm
mediately served with a writ of habeas
corpus requiring him to produce her
before the Supreme Court of Califor-
MIA. This is the prisoners last resort
and should that fail she win be brought
here for trial ait once.
Attoney-General White said yester-
day that he is making arrangements
to start for San Francisco at once If he
is needed. He said:
I'VE had hoped that this would not
be necessary, but the case has now
taken on an entirely new phase. We
are on the defensive instead of the ag-
eresslve, and it seems hardly fair to
impose upon such faithful friends rs
District Attorney Hcsmer and his as
sistant in San Francisco, after having
delivered her over into our custody"
Mr.. White said that he thought there
was no Possible chance by which the
California Supreme Court would re-
lease Mrs. Botkin from custody.
Governor Tunnel seemed greatly
pleased at the action Of Governor Budd
in h0nOring the final papers. He said:
q was confident that Governed Budd
would eventually have to surrender tine
prisoner to Detective McVey for no
other reason than that the crime had
opened up new way of putting peo-
pie out OF the way. A man might kill
off all his enemies, the United States
mails simply carrying the means, and
do it without fear of physical punish
ment, were governors of states to make
the ruling that the accused is not a
fugitive from justice, and, therefore,
cannot be extradited.
"Had not Governor Budd made up
his mind Wednesday we would find this
new method of assassination spreading
throughout the American Union, and
it is hard to tell just where it would
end"
