ship Indiana arrived at Honolulu on
the Rio de Janeiro and departed in
the same vessel Monday for
Shanghai to assume command of the
battleship Oregon. The Oregon lies ut
Woosung the port OF Shanghai. Cap
tain Dickens is quoted as saying that
"the Indiana formerly commanded by
him was put out of commission be-
cause the Navy had not enough men to
officer and man her. Our Navy, SO far
as ships, ordnance and men go is ad-
mirable. But there is dearth of men
and officers even now. We cannot, as
It Is keep all our ships at sea what will
be the discrepancy when the new ships

crying need of the Navy is for more
men and officers, very many mora"
It will be remembered that Captain
Dickens spent the summer of 1898 in
Chicago where he was In attendance
upon the Duke of Veragua and the

CHURCH UNION ADVOCATED.
Work to Produce Unitarian Belief in
the Trinity.

NEW YORK. jan s. Efforts TO
bring about what is termed a "closer
brotherhood in the liberal church., in
the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. are
being watched with interest by orthodox
members of evangelical Christian churches
as it is said by some that this effort will
result in forming an entering wedge of
Unitarianism within the fold of the Univer-
salist Church, the doctrine of which formal
ly, at least, recognizes the Trinity.
Many persons have received invitations
to attend ''in the interest of closer broth
erhood in the liberal church a reception
to be held tomorrow evening in the parlors
of the Prospect Heights Universalist
Church. No. 225 Lincoln Place. This church
has not grown rapidly, and there is no Uni
tartan Church in that section of the city
1t is stated that an effort will be made to
have churches unite with the members of
this church. Its pastors, the Rev A. K
Wright and the Rev. Mrs. Wright, have re-
signed, that they may not stand in the way
of the union which they favor.

ANCIENT RUINS UNEARTHED.
Important Discoveries Made by n
CiNil Engineer in Colorado.

DENVER. Jan S.-More evidence of the
antiquity OF man on the American conti-

opened TIE reservation. Thomas Wigles-
worth uneSrthed ruins of a unique char
acter.
Mr. WiggleswOrth is in Denver today.
and his account of the discovery indicates
that they are Of the highest scientific i'm
portance, He is a civil engineer who has
lived many years in southwestern Colo
rado. and Is well trained in archaeological
researches.
Traditions and other evidence lead 10 the
belief that the Gin Dwellers were the fore
runners Of the modern Indians The ruins
found by Mr.. Wigglesworth were undoub;-
edly once inhabited by partially civilized
people differing widely in habits from the
races they preceded.
II is his opinion that this carrier race liveI

the remains of the large adobe structures
In carrying forward the work on the
large canal recently ordered by the Govern
ment for the ties We uncovered the foun-
dation Of circular structure which had
one story under ground. 1t is my opinion
that the principal houses of these unknown
people were two stories in height one story
above ground and one story below The
ruins which were eXcavated are perfectly
round, and the foundation is as solid as on
the day il was constructed. 1t was appar-

are superstitious in such matters. they
threw the vase over the dump and | had

The Indians will handle nothing that
comes from the ruins. as they believe that
the relics are hoodooed. They say that the
older ruins are the remains Of former Mo-
qui or Zuni life, but il is rare that a white
man can induce a Ute Indian to express an
opinion on the subject"

TRAINING Ships WANTED
Secretary Long Asks Congress for
Two Sailing Vessels.
They Are Required for the Instruc-
tion of Men and Boys for the Navy.
Seanen of Eandsmen-The Argu-
ment Fayoring an Appropriation.

Secretary Long has recommended prOvis-
ion by Congress for two sailing vessels, 10
also possess auxiliary steam power. These
ships are REQUIRED for the training Of boys
and men for thel navy. Secretary Longs s
letter to Congress contains this statement:
"The seafaring class of the population Of
the United States is very small and in or
der that the navy may be properly recruit
ed it is necessary that the men who are
enlisted as landsmen be given suitable pre-
liminary training before they are sent on
cruising vessels.
"The only practical way of properly
training these landsmen. and apprentices
as well. is by putting them on vessels
adapted for this purpose, in company with
regular crews of the navy, and the best
kind of vessels for this use is one of full
sailing power and auxiliary steam power.
of the ships now in the navy that might
be used this way the Hartford, recently
fitted out at Mare Island. and the Lancas-
ter. now cruising in the West Indies, are
particularly good. The Dixie, recently fit
ted out at League Island, though the best
available vessel for this purpose on this
coast. is a conversion from the merchant
marine.
The Alliance. one Of the apprentice
training ships after making a five months
cruise, has been laid up for six weeks re-
pairs which viii only permit her to con-
tinue in service about four months longer,
after which time extensive repairs will be
necessary The Adams, Mohican, and Es
sex are the only other vessels now avail
able for the apprentice training service,
and these. like the Alliance, cannot be eX-
pected to hold out much longer.
1T is thus seen that the number of yes
sells which might be advantageously used
for training purposes is small and that the
vessels themselves are old and not likely
10 be serviceable much longer. The num-
ber of enlisted men in the navy will be
larger than it has been In the past. and the
necessity for keeping the full complement
of vessels in efficient condition at all times
will be much greater than before
The department therefore recommends
as matter Of importance TO the efficiency
Of the personnel Of the service that author
ty be given for the construction of TWO
composite built sailing ships, full rigged
and with auxiliary steam power. each ca
pable Of carrying 500 enlisted persons in
CludiHg the ships company proper and
those under training A vessel OF this size
is much more economical for the purpose
contemplated than smaller vessels would
be and the interest OF the Government
would be greatly subserved by the con-
struction Of the two vessels herein recon-
mended."
