One OF the matters which should be
given prompt attention by congress Is the
increase of the personnel Of the navy.
For nearly twenty years the country has
been engaged i'm the work OF rebuilding n
navy, and In that time has expended mif-
lions In the construction OF new vessels.
Each year sees large additions made to
the force OF ships; and the programme
prepared by the navy department con-
templates extensive building for many
years in the future. Yet during all o.
this time practically no provision has
been made for officers and men for the
new vessels built.
As the situation stands now. whenever
a new vessel IL turned over TO the gov
eminent by the contractors. and put into
commission. 1t is necessary TO withdraw
some other vessel from active service and
lay IL up. in order to get a crew for the
new ship. Even while laid up. Il IL nee

The crews OF American warships. az a

China Fears Humiliation.

III Hung Chang IL reported as saying
that the Chinese emperor will not consent
to the demands Of the allies for the pun
ishment OF Prince Tuan and others re-
spcnsible for the Boxer outrages: that
such concession would be too humiliat-
ing TO China. IT would strike the aver
age Occidental observer that the Chinese
government has been hur1iliated already
to degree that would render the pro-
posed additional humiliation too insignifi-
cant for resentment. The emperor's cap

Is the fact that the tombs OF his ancestors
are IN the possession of the allies. and
may be desecrated or destroyed IN case
OF necessity. which would be the greatest
possible humiliation which could befai
the emperor or his people. from their own
standpoint.
II is about time that the Chinese en-
peror. the empress dowager and their ad-
visers come to q reaiixing sense OF their

In selecting successor to Chief Of Po-

ates of the naval academy at the end OF
their four years term at the naval acad-
envy. instead of compelling them to have
two years service at sea before receiv-
ing commissions The arguments advance
ed against this were that the graduates
were too young to be intrusted with COM
missioned rank.
The average graduate of the naval
academy has reached his majority. II not
fitted for the duties OF an ordinary COM
missioned officer of the lowest rank. at
that age and after four years of training.
1t is safe to say that he will never be
so fitted. All experience of every service
properly trained and educated. make good
subaltern officers. The trouble with the
present force OF naval officers is precisely
the opposite. Men in the navy are far
too old before they reach command rank.
The average age OF the lieutenant COM
nanders in the navy. very few of whom
ever had command OF even torpeoo
boat Is nearly 80 years. The average PEE
Rod of service of the men OF this rank
is considerably over 30 years. properly
trained boy of 20 is much better fitted to
be commissioned subaltern officer than
is man who has spent a lifetime as 4
subaltern fitted for command.
The filling up OF the ranks of the navy
by enough men to keep constantly in com
mission all the vessels save those neces-
sarily laid up for repairs. would give COM
mands to numbers OF men who otherwise
would becone fossilized in subordinate po-
sitions. In this particular direction the
proposed naval programme to be submit
ted to the next congress has one strik-
insiy good feature 1t provides for
large number of small gunboats for use
in Asiatic waters. These vessels will nec-
essarily be commanded by officers below
what is now the recognized command
rank. and thus give the young Officers Of
the service. the infants of 80 or there
abouts, some experience in command be-
fore the time. some ten years from now,
when they will, by the retirement Of ON
GERS now their seniors. be galloped In a
year or 80 through the various grades OF
commander. captain and rear admiral.

that the Germans to whom ne owed his

ways saw the possibilities OF the West
and believed in this part Of the country.
He was not a railroad man. however, and
1t was inevitable that the transportation
business Of the Northwest should finally
fall to those who are railroad people and
not promoters or railroad manipulators.
Hundreds lost small fortunes in the
Northwest through the rise and fan Of
