When the senate rather Unexpectedly
went into executive session the other
afternoon the doorkeeper Of one sec

clearing out the occupants as rapidly
as his orders require him to do. All
were amenable TO the strict senatorial
rules that require great haste in leav-
Ing the galleries except little girl, who
chung to her mothers skirts and re-
fused to go. She was finally hustled
into the corridor, crying all the way.
After the big doors were closed the
guardian OF the star chamber secrets
asked her why she was so opposed TO

between sobs, because Christmas is
coming, and Sanity Claus was in there,
and wanted him to see me-" She had

POLICE AT HAVANA.
System Of Protection Of Life and
Property to Be Improved.
Ex.Ch,ef Of Police Of New York city
Goes TO Cuba to Recommend In
PRODUCTION Of Block system
to Gen. Greene.

Former Chief Of Police John Mccall
lagh, OF New York city. who has lef1
for Havana to advise Gen. Greene In re-
gard to the establishment OF q police
force in the Cuban capital, will recon-
mend the establishment Of the block
system.
This system 10 both simple and prac'
teal, said he before leaving.
"It consists in having policemen sta
toned permanently in substations IN
the streets within four or five blocks
Of one another. All the substations
should be connected with the precinct
stations and headquarters by an In
dependent telephone system.
at would be impossible for crime to
be committed or an accident to occur
moro than ~ blocks away from one OF
the substatons, where a policeman
could always be found. The great diff
ficulty with the present system is that
policeman may be doing his duty
faithfully and still be long distance
away when wanted. Under the block
system every citizen would know ex-
actly where to find policeman close
of hand.
Information could be telephoned to
headquarters and sent out from there
simultaneously through the entire city
in very short time, placing the whole
force on guard.
"The chief could sit in his Office and
be in constant touch with the entire
force, thus making impossible the delay
and confusion incident to the present
system. The patrolling could be done
aud the block system maintained with
fewer men than are now required and
protection to life and property would
be much more effective.
"All the men would have to do their
DUTY or be caught Sinking. Sergeants
and roundsmen could not avoid their
work. rs the telephone system would
indicate their whereabouts"

United States government.
Maj. J. II. Hamilton, cashier Of the

With the growing capacity Of the
mint and the large supply already on
hand it will be able to supply all de-
mands which may be made upon It
either from Cuba or Porto Rico. Tho
present coin on hand at the New Or.
leans mint is 100000 Of silver dollars
and 100000 of subsidiary coin, while

THE DEAD INFANT REPUBLIC.
what VIII Tie the Future Of the Cen.
trail American stntes! - Umiteo
States shouId own Them.

correspondent Of the New York
Sun writes as follows:
..The collapse Of the United States
of Central America, composed OF the
republics of Nicaragua, Honduras ana
Salvador. after an existence OF just one
month. seems like conclusive evidences
of inherent capacity for stable govern
ment.
THE constant disorder that has be-
come chronic in these petty states mis-
called republics, Is reproach TO tire
United States and Mexico, and an end
ought to be put to 1t now, while we are
sbating nuisances.
"The only way in which this can ever
lie accomplished is in the incorporation
Of Guatemala, Honduras and San Sal
yador into the federal republic OF Mex
leo. which is stable enough and strong
enough to preserve order in those VOL
canic states. The inhabitants arc
moreover, of the same race and speak
the same language.
"There are many reasons why the
limited States should own absolutely
Nicaragua, Costa RIGA, Veragua and
Panama. The completion Of the Pam
ANA canal, which may be looked for
some day, and the building OF the MIC.
aragua canal at very early day VIII
make it imperative that this country
obtains sole control Of the territories
through which those ocean ways VIII
pass. In no way can that control Dc
so well established as by ownership OK
the territory.
There would be distinct gain all
around; good government for those
territories for one thing, and no for
eign palaver over the neutrality OF the
canals for another. Nopretexts would
have to be hunted up to justify such
course. The warrant for It has existed
for generations. The recent dlckerfng
on the part of Nicaragua with rival
companies for concessions is not CAL
culated to promote the best interests
of the United States, and is only anoth-
err argument in favor OF bringing to
an end an intolerab bic condition OF af-
fairs in Central America"

WORK OF THE CENSUS.
Census Committee to Draft Bill Pro-
viding for Taking of the
Twelfth Count,

AS soon as Representative Hopkins
is able to find a committeeman he will
call a meeting Of the census committee
to draft bill providing for the takdnl
of the twelfth census. The scope OF the
next census will not be 80 extensive as
the last one, and II Is the intention OF
the Illinois member to frame a bill
which will provide that the result OF tho
work OF the census takers will be In the
hands Of the public within two years
after the gathering OF the information
has been concluded, and not have the
reports issued every six months or 80
for a period Of eight or ten years. C. has
been the case in the past. The collect
ors will not 60 into as many dry sta
tistics as has heretofore been the case,
az it is believed the field is covered by
the bureau Of statistics OF the treasury
department. Much Of the work which
was performed by the last census tax,
ers has been duplicated by that Blu.
reau, and as it was useless waste Of la
Dor and public money it will be avoided
in the future. The measure which will
be framed by this committee will, In all
probability, provide for permanent
census bureau.

BIG GUN PLANT.
VIII he Established in Connection
with the Newport News Ship
buiiding Concern.

The report that an enormous gun
factory Is to be established In connec-
ton with the Newport News ship
building concern has been confirmed
by Coils P. Huntington. Mr.. Hunting
ton Is one of the heaviest stockho lderi
in the old establishment and will retain
heavy interest in the new. In an In
terview Mr.. Huntington said:
II have been In negotiation with
Messrs. Vickers' Sons e. Maxim, who
have thought of taking large inter
est In the plant and Of establishing at
Newport News in connection with the
shipyards an extensive plant for the
manufacture Of guns.
"If these negotiations should be car
ried to a conclusion there would be es-
tablished ut Newport News new in
dustry which would greatly benefit
that city, furnishing work and support
TO thousands Of people in addition TO
those there now.
The yard would continue to be an
American enterprise, as 1 do not pro-
pose to sell my holdings outright, but
to retain large interest"
VickeIs' Sons & Maxim, the famous
English gunmakers, have associated
with them Hiram Maxim, the gun In
ventor, and he will be identified with
the new venture.
The new establishment will be not
only the largest in the United States,
but will exceed In extent that Of Wool
witch, England. 1t will more nearly
approach the great Krupp works at
Essen, Germany, than any gun plant
in existence.
The reason for establishing the new
gun works Is Inscribed to the determi-
nation of the navy department to
adopt the Vickers guns for the United
States navy.
