WAITING FOR LEGISLATION.
Desired Reforms In tho Navy Until
Congress 80 Authorizes Him.

Washington, Dec, JO.-,There are
hundreds of men in the navy who en-.
listed to serve for the war, or a period
of one year, who are anxious to re-
main In the service, but who must DO
discharged shortly unless congress au.
thoriges their re-enlistment for full
term. This will be recommended by
the navy department, which has over
10, 900 men now on its rolls OF sailors,
but Is nevertheless, unable to provide
crews for ships and supply men for va
eancies constantly occurring by the
expiration of enlistments While the
enlisted force OF the navy Is now APP
proXimately 10000 men, this is nearly
1000 in excess OF the number allowed by
law, and just about the strength the
authorities estimate to be necessary to-
continue the navy ON its present foot
ing, which must be maintained, 1t Is
commended, almost indefinitely Secree
tary Long has concluded that IL will
not be practicable for the service to be
maintained in an efficient condition
with less sailors than are now enlisted,
and to reduce the floating force to that
limited by law would neoessitate not
only the weakening Of Admiral
Dewey's feet, but render 10 impracti-
cable to station vessels mt Guam,
Samoa and at Bawaii, bach of these
islands and Porto Rico, as, well, will
require guardships to be kept in their
harbors ut all times.

tary Governor

Washington, Dec. 29.--The island OF
Guam will probably be different from
the other colonial possessions or de-
tendencies of the United States In
having naval instead Of military
governor. The reason is that the sole
reason for the selection and acquire
ment of the island was to obtain q. con-
veniently located naval station for Our
warships and, that being the case, the
navy should have exclusive control
The command will be Of Importance,
for the island has population OF more
than 5000 people and, so far from
these being barbarians, about h,4OO OF
them are Of European extraction.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The energy
with which the navy department is
strengthening its forces in the Pacific
ocean is further emphasized by its
decision to send 400 enlisted men as
quickly as possible across the con-
tinent to San Francisco, to be taken
by the next mail steamer to Hong
Kong. This action was taken in
response to a requisition from ADJ
miral Dewey to send him men to take
charge of the captured cruisers Don
Juan de Austria, Isla de Cuba and Isla
de Luzon, the two latter vessels being
now in dry dock at Hong Kong, while
the first is being repaired at Cavite.
In the battle of Manila when these
vessels were sunk their Spanish crews
aggregated 53l officers and men.

TO ABANDON ARMY POSTS.
when the Army IL Increased a Zig Change
in Present Arrangements Is Corr
tain To Result.

Washington, Dec. 3O--It is practi-
cally decided that number of the
western military posts will be aban-
doned when the army is Increased,
and that this contemplated arrange-
ment includes the abandonment,
among Others. of Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Crook at Omaha. From what
can be learned at the war department
as to the yet imperfect plans touching
this matter, neither of these forts
will be permanently abandoned at
present, bat will be denuded of
their troops until the services OF a
portion of the troops now needed
for garrison duty in the Philippines
and in Cuba and Porto Rico can be dis
pensed with and the troops returned to
the military stations in this country.
The intention of the military au-
thorities to garrison places in the
Philippines as soon as possible and
the necessity that will come of muster
ing out large number of volunteers
when peace is formally declared will
compel the war department to send
practically all its regular infantry and
some of the artillery and cavalry out
of the country.

"cANADA ON THE BRINK"
A Toronto Paper SEES tho United States Ans
neHmg the Dominion In Her Onward
March OF Conquest.

Toronto, Ont, Dec. 80. The Toronto
World, which opposes the present lib
eral government at Ottawa, had a
startling editorial yesterday under the
heading Canada on the Brink" in
which it warns the people of this coun-
try that times are critical, so far as the
maintenance of Canada as Il free, inde-
pendent and integral portion of North
America is concerned 1t said:
Unless Canadians are fully alive TO the situa-
ton and speak out in no uncertain way, they
will find themselves between grasping an
nexation movement In tho United States, hav-
ing for ITS end the domination OF this whole
continent, and great party In England, pre-
pared TO make almost any sacrifices TO the
United States in consideration OF some kind OF
support OF En- land In her race with Russia,
France and other European powers
The World then refers To the recent
speech at Macon, Ga, of Maj Gen.
James II, Wilson, OF Delaware, in
which that gentleman expressed the
hope that he would see the day when
the starry flag shall float everywhere
in the frozen north to the sunny cline
Of Central America. Continuing the
World says:
We believe that these words OF Mr. Wilson
only show well the opinion of great number
OF Americans, when once their appetite for ex-
pansion is aroused in the direction OF the north,
and II once they get 1t into their heads that
they only have to go far enough In their great
game OF buif which seems to be their best and
strongest card in diplomacy, will force Canada,
willy nilly, into annexation
In conclusion the paper says: 1--WE
are nearer to absorption than ever we
were Do Canadians raalize itpn

point sent to relatives and friends.
