Washington, May S.-The senate
concluded its consideration of the ma
val appropriation bill with the eXcep-
ton of the section relating to armor
and armaments. A number of minor
bills were passed, among them one TO
REIN burse collectors of internal reve-
nue. for stamps charged against them
| but not accounted for. The debate on
the naval bill was practically con-
[ fined to the paragraph relating to the

amendment striking out the PROPOSE

commission the cadets at the eXpira-

In executive session Senator Till

miral ONeil, chief of the bureau of
ordnance, had been conducting for
several months series of tests of all
sorts of armor, including Krupp

their effectiveness against a new shell
that had been invented by an officer
of the navy. No piece of armor SUBJ
mitted to the test it is understood.
will be able to withstand it. Shells
fired from high power guns penetrated
the armor almost as bullets from
rifles would penetrate green wood.
The argument of Senator Tillman is
that with such projectile, the details
OF which will sooner or later become
known to other governments, it would
not be wisdom for congress to enter
into contracts to purchase 'high-priced
armor unless it could be 50 improved
as to resist projectiles of the kind used

the law-making body ought not to be a
debatable matter. II change in the
| Constitution seems desirable timely
proposal of amendment can be made,
the subject submitted to discussion and
deliberation, and, If ultima ely found to
be desirable, in the course of four years
time made part of the Constitution.
Under the existing requirement, press
ing need of change in the organic law
of the State may develop, for example,
in 1902. 1t could not receive lawful
consideration till the fall of 1910, and
if found desirable, could not become
part of the constitutional law of the
State till 1914. Furthermore, public
discussion of subject in 1902, that
cannot be taken up for action for eight
years, is inevitably precluded. The
absurdity and unwisdom Of this manner
of making constitutional law and keep
ing it cup to date" adjusted to the adj
vancing requirements of q people in on
age of mighty progressive strides, in
political as well as material things, is
illustrated in the circumstance of the
universal adoption, elsewhere, of the
more rational way, and one which i'm
plies a more fl ittering testimonial to
the intelligence and mental balance of
the people.
The one first proposal of amendment
to the Constitution ought to be for the
removal of that instrument from the
paralyzing jurisdiction of this ten years.

do this people great service by con-
tributing to the taking of this initial
step in consti utional reform.

edent, provided our government should
have protested against the principle that
food is contraband Of war, as also against
the theory that adequate compensation for
seizure may be deferred until after war is
over. If we now take, promptly and firm
ly, a sound position in relation to these
questions we should be qualified to demand
that our neutral rights should he respected
by an anti-British coalition, and respected
they undoubtedly would be, lest we should
be driven to uphold them by co-operal lou
with England. Under such circumstances,
the practical effect of prolonged contest
between England and continental alli-
auce would be, so far as ocean commerce
ID concerned, to reverse the consequences
OF our Civil War, and place the greater
part of England's carry ing trade under the
Stars aud Stripes.
This Administration is far seeing
and patriotic enough to safeguard ev-
cry American right involved in the re-
cent seizure by England of American
-four by protest and by demand for and
strenuous insistence upon prompt and
full reparation. Particularly will the
government of the United States refuse
its recognition of highlands right TO
seize food anywhere on the high seas,
in neutral ships, under the plea that
the food is needed to feed her armies.
Very likely England had no idea, in
putting into the case this ancient pro-
vision of English common law, that
the United States would admit it, but
exploited the claim at this time to save
any advantage that might accrue to her
therefrom in some future emergency.

England's Punishment.

The Ottawa correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes to that paper of
the feeling in Canada on the subject of
England's war with the 1'ransvaal:
Goods Chastisement," the text of
the Rev. DR.. Garments widely quoted
New Years sermon at Barrie, has
proved the keynote OF pulpit utter
ances all over the country the last
week. DR.. Carmen is a man honored
all through Canada. His name is
known and his character held in high
esteem from Halifax to Vancouver.
AS general superintendent of the
Methodist church of the Dominion, he
is one OF the noted religious leaders of
the day. The assertion by such man
of his conviction that the loss of so
many British soldiers in South Africa
is the punishment inflicted for the ma
tional sins naturally attracts attention.
The preachers views are shared by
other preachers who equally have the
courage of their convictions and dare
TO proclaim from the pulpits what they
believe is the truth. Their words find
echoes everywhere among the people
