These are the gentlemen who cut down
that naval appropriation and reduced the
nations strength by just six badly needed
vessels. Some of them have from the first
been opposed to the acquisition of the
Philippines, and some of them loved peace
so dearly that they fought for it tooth and
nail last Spring. Now that the Philippines
and Porto Rico and Hawaii have actually
been added to our territory they carry out
their policy by refusing TO provide means
of protection for these islands. They seem
to think that they ought TO protest against
the taking of the Philippines by refusing
to fence them off from the depredations of
other powers. They did not want the United
States to acquire any more territory in the
beginning, and now that it is acquired they
feel that they cannot afford to let the ma
ton keep what it has won. They appar-
emily wish to make it as hard as possible
for Dewey 10 defend the islands which he
added to our dominion on that memorable
morning in May, 1898. Their behavior re-
minds one very much of the man in the
parable, who could not afford the wire fence
TO enclose farm which had been given to
him outright.

The Rev. George C. Bacon advocated the
immediate adoption of the paper. The Rev

Rev. 4. J. Gill, who offered the paper. said:
Il think this paper is fairly clear. If
anybody here wants TO join with Grand

The deal by which it has been attempted
to kill the Nicaragua Canal in the House
is about as disgraceful to those implicated
in it as anything that could be imagined
Friends of the measure. through the bribe-
ry of public building plums, have been
induced TO kill it at the behest of Thomas
Bracket Reed and the thoroughly well
known anti-canal influences behind him.
So the River and Harbor bill has gone
TO conference with the canal rider hung
up in the air. 1t remains to be seen what
the Senate conferees and the Senate will
do. 1t is reported that Senator White of
California has announced his intention to
flibuster against the remaining appropria-

doing so. and would have the solid back

ABOUT ANCHORS.
Those Carried on Merchant Vessels
Pninted-GaIvnnized An
chOrs on Yachts.

Ships anchors cost from five to seven
cents n pound, SO that "a 6.OGO- pound
anchor. which would be q very large
one. would cost. even al the lowest
price, about $500; and the big ship that
required an anchor of that size would
carry two Of them. The two big an
chors carried by a ship Of. say 1860
tons would weigh from 1880 to 5000
pounds each. says the New York Sun.
The anchors of merchant vessels are
painted or tarred. Whenever the yes
sci is painted the anchors are painted
also. 10 preserve them from rust. But
on yachts and various smaller pleasure
craft galvanized anchors are used.
which. of course. do not require paint
ing. Galvanized iron anchors have been
made for torpedo boats in the navy,
but. generally speaking. their use is
confined to pleasure craft. galvan-
lied anchor cost nearly as much again
as one not galvanized.
The galvanizing preserves the anchor
from rusting and makes the anchor
more slightly in appearance. and it pre-
vents the anchor from dripping rusty
water and so staining and marring
decks or other surfaces with which il
might come in contact. Anchors weigh
ing l.4C0 pounds have been galvanized
such anchors being for very large steam
yachts; anchors are galvanized in vari
GUS sizes from that down to the very
small anchors used for sailboaIs ana
small yachts. OF small galvanized an.
chors many are sold.

would seem to mean that the tickIt
could be used at no other time. Prob
ably most Of the public accepts that
as proving the impossibility Of max
ing use Of the ticket. and therefore few
make any attempt to get the worth
OF their money when they were pre-
vented by any cause from using the
ticket on the date marked on it. But
il could be presented at any time and
would be good for an admission. Any
theater manager would have to recog-
nize the holders right to enter the
theater. although that would, OF
course. carry with it no right to the
seat. 1t is that right which is limited
by the printed date. For all other
purposes the ticket is Quite as good as
