Recently a rosy checked German girl APP

English language in a remarkably short
time but many of the expressions did not
appeal TO her in the proper sense.
The telephone had a peculiar charm for
the girl, and at times she would loiter about
near the instrument in order to answer a
call. One day there came rirg and she
FASTENED to the phone and put the receiver
to her ear.
"Hello." she cried

THE NEW NAVAL ACADEMY

The passage by the House of the
Naval appropriation bill, carrying
nearly S5,00O,OOO for the purpose of
completing the Naval Academy at An
napolis, is peculiarly gratifying, and
naturally SO, to the people Of Mary
land, says the Baltimore Sun. The
bill permits the expenditure of G,C09.-
COO. including the 81 100000 already
used for the work, and to this the Sen
ate is expected to add at least another
million
''For 80 years the great institution at
Annapolis had languished under the
neglect of the nations representatives,
and until THE Snn,' in a series of ar
ticles, pointed out the injustice of this
apathy did the Congressional delega-
ton from our own State make any eX-
traordinary effort to secure the reali.
cation of the patriotic wishes of the
few who understood the needs of the
academy. These improvements are
urgently needed now, to say nothing
of the future
If the present plans favored by Con
gress are carried out there will rise on
the banks of the Severn a noble insti.
tuition that shall represent the dignity
of the naval profession and be source
of prime to the whole people of the
country"

CLARK CASE RIP ORT.

Senator Chandler, from the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, Mon
day submitted to the Senate the report of
that committee in the case of Senator
Clark, of Montana. The report is COM
paratively brief, covering only about -
pages of printed matter. 1t does not re-
hearse the testimony, but simply presents
the findings of the committee and its rea-
sons for its course. The finding of the
committee is stated as follows:
"The finding of the committee is that
the election to the Senate of William A,
Clark, of Montana, is null and void on
account of briberies, attempted briberies
and corrupt practices by his agents and
of violations of the laws of Montana de-
filming and Furnishing crimes against the
elective franchise
In view of this finding the committee
reports and unanimously recommends
the adoption by the Senate of the follow
ing resolution: "Resolved That William
A. Clark was not duly and legally elected
to seat in the Senate of the United
States by the Legislature of the State OF
Montana"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 23rd

WAsHINGToN. D. c.. April 23rd.
MR.. EDIToR:-Another ugly scandal has
cropped up under the rule of the War De-
partment, which cannot fail to add to the
wave of public sentiment, daily becoming
higher and stronger, that will sweep the
republican party, with its record of scan
dals, out of power. This particular scan
dial was uncovered quite by accident and
its existence was not denied by Secretary
Root, who is responsible for its continu
ance, although it was originated by Alger.
1t is, to speak plainly, the robbery of the
Cubans for the benefit of officers of the
United States army. Hints of eXtravagant
living by American officers in Cuba and
of large sums paid for their expenses have
been frequent, but it was not until within
the last forty ght hours that it became
positively known that officers in the
United States army were, in direct viola
ton of law, drawing two salaries, one
from the United States and one from the
Cuban revenues. The ground upon which
Secretary Root justifies this robbery is
worthy Of shyster lawyer, but not of a
member of the United States Cabinet.
That the money drawn from the Cuban
revenues by these officers is not IA salary
from the United States, and consequently
their receiving it is not a violation Of the
law prohibiting two salaries. Mr.. Root
goes even further than that. He says this
robbery was carefully considered and en-
endorsed by Mr.. Mckinley and his entire
Cabinet before it was started, and that he
intends to increase the number OF officers
who are allowed to participate therein.
But he wont unless prominent republican
Senators, who have expressed surprise and
regret at the scandal, change their minds,
The Senate has adopted resolution call
| ing for all the facts.
Experience doesn't always teach. Not
withstanding the awful experience Of our
soldiers in the war with Spain, thousands
| of whom were made sick and unfit for
duty by eating the so called canned roast
beef, the War Department has ordered a
| big lot of the stuff sent to the Philippines
| for the use of our soldiers over there.
Gen. Miles is as much opposed to this
meat as he was during the war with Spain,
and the War Department acted without
consulting him.
Representative Livingston, one of the
most level headed democrats in the House.
says the republican leaders have deter
mined to jam the ship subsidy job through
at this session of Congress. Speaking Of
this deal Mr.. Livingston said: II know
that conference of republican leaders
was held, at which it was determined to
push the ship bounty scheme at all haz-
ards. | also know that the next day Pa
cltic Mail, which may fairly be considered
the barometer of the scheme, shot up
! nearly four points on the New York stock
exchange The man who can't plainly
| discern chain of cause and effect in this

A complimentary dinner was given to
State Treasurer Murray Vandiver at the
Merchants Club Monday evening, at which
he was presented with the magnificent
silver service that had been purchased
with the money contributed by Democrats
throughout the State, in recognition of
his services as chairman of the State Cen
trail Committee.
The dinner was given by the committee
which had charge of the presentation and
consisted of Messrs. Frank A. Furst, Lloyd
L. Jackson, John G. Legg, Harry A
William B. Hurst, Douglas H. Thomas,
William F. Porter, R. NJ. Sutton, John

P. German, DR.. Joshua w. Herring, State
Comptroller; Lloyd Wilkinson, Speaker
of the House of Delegates; Wilfred Bate
man, Secretary Of State; Col. Victor l..
Baughman, Elk Attorney General John P.
Poe and Edward Raine. Governor Smith
and Attorney General Rayner had also
been invited, but owing to the death of his
business partner HIS Excellency did not
attend, while the Attorney General was
prevented from coming because of illness.
The guests assembled in the reception
room, where Senator German, Mr.. Van
diver and Colonel Baughman did the hon
ors Shortly after s o'clock General Jack
son, escorting Mr.. Vandiver, led the way
to the dining room, where plates had been
laid for the committee and the distin-
guished gentlemen who had been invited.
Displayed on an adjoining table was the
beautiful silver service intended for the
recipient. 1t received the ecomiums of
all who examined it.

ITALY WORKED UP.

The Italian newspapers are much con-
cerned regarding the renewal of CONNER
cial treaties with Germany and Austria.
The Pungolo Parliamento asserts on the
authority of former member of the Cabi
net, probably Signor Branca, that clause
was added in 1891 IT, the Dreibund treaty
whereby the three Powers stipulate tC
grant one another favored nation treat
ment and the greatest possible facilities
in trade.
The Tribunal" commenting upon this
revelation, says that in spite Of it the
prospects for the future are not reassur
uring, in view of the ultra protectionist
tendencies of the Austrian and German
Agrarians.

is indeed blind Obviously somebody who
attended that conference communicate
TO the men who control the market FL
Pacific Mail securities the news that the
Ship Subsidy bill would be brought for
ward and rushed through at this session
under the party lash. 1t would not SUI
prise me if special rule for its consldera-
ton and passage should be prescribed by
the Speakers committee. Such rule, 1t
may be confidently expected, will limit
debate almost to the vanishing point, in
deed, it may be that all debate will be cut
off on the bill i'll the House. | believe
they are waiting for a time when an I'M
usual number of democrats are absent
from the House to force the bill forward for
a needed consideration. The republicans
are bound to get this bill through. am in
formed that a large part of their campaign
fund depends upon its passage. There
fore, it behooves US democrats to keep our
eyes peeled for the ship subsidy scheme.
Every mothers son of US ought to stay
right here in Washington until the session
closes and keep sharp lookout for tn"
Hanna-Payne BILL
1t was an Ohio man-John Sherman
who originated the phrase which has since
become so wide used: I'm going home TO
look after my fences" Mr.. Mckinley,
who is in Ohio this week, said before
leaving Washington that he was going to
look after repairs to my house. which is
q slight deviation from Shcrman's words
but means the same thing to the initiated.
1t was not mere coincidence that the re-
pairs upon Mr.. Mckinley's house at Can
ton, should require his personal attention
during the same week in which the Re
publican State Convention will be held at
Columbus.
Senator Wellington has formally left
the Hanna NJ ckinley party, and made this
announcements: Il was opposed to the
permanent acquisition of the Philippines
and to the Is per cent. duty on Porto
Rican imports to the United States. This
being my position, do not intend to sup
port platform that is against my convic-
tions in such important particulars. | do
not intend to remain member of the re-
publican National Convention There
are numerous prominent republicans in
both branches of Congress who believe
Just as Senator Wellington does, but
whether any of them will show that they
have the courage of their convictions by
following his example remains to be seen.
