honor upon him and they have conf
dence that he would fill the position

presenting two candidates for that
important Office at the same time

DowIE'S LACEMAKERS.
Tho Treasury Department Decides TO Aa'
nit the Imported Workmsn OF the
"D,yine Healer"

Washington, Nov. 27.-The treasury
department has decided to admit the
laceworkefs and their families who
were brought to this country by Dr
j. A. Dowie, the "divine healer and
founder OF Zion City, Ill. Commis'
sioner General Powderly, in his let
ter to the commission Of emigration
at Philadelphia, directing that the
lacemakers be admitted said; ut ap'
pears that it Is the purpose OF Dr.
John A. Dowie, who had arranged
with the appellants to come over with
the purpose of securing their services
in the manufacture, not only OF lace
but also of the thread from which
such lace Is to be made. Although
lacemaking in some Of its branches
has been carried on in this country
for some years heretofore, 1t seems
to have been the practice to import
the thread used in such establish'
ments. The department is Of the opin'
ion that said industry Is u new one
not established, and as 1t is not
claimed or shown by the representa-
tiyes Of the lacemakers' union that
labor could have been obtained IN
this country to prosecute the indus
try, there is apparently no violation
OF the alien contract labor laws"

Washington, Nov, 27.-The report
of Secretary of the Navy Long for the
fiscal wear ended June 80 last was
made public yesterday. 1t begins
with recital of the operations OF tine
navy in the Chinese campaign. with
regard to the navy personnel, the re-
port says:
The need of officers for sea duty Is
steadily growing, and at times the depart.
ment is seriously embarrassed by lack OF
necessary officers to properly man vessels
required for immediate service, rms
need will be still greater when vessels
authorized or building are completed ana
ready for commission. The report OF inc
bureau OF navigation represents that "
would be impossible at the present tme
to man our available fleet were an emer-
gency to occur demanding such action
Attention Is earnestly invited to the
statement that with the completion OF
vessels now under construction an imme-
diate increase will be needed In the en-
listed force Of not less than bWo men
For many years II has been found dim
cult TO enlist n sufficient number OF the
seanen class to supply the demand 10
obyate this difficulty the department de-
cided to train It's own seamen from raw
material, and during the past year mas
assigned five vessels to the special duty
of fitting landsmen between the ages OF
NJ q o., h. tnh
The report says that there are now
in process of construction for tha
navy 81 warships Of all classes rang
ing in percentage of completion from
0 for the submarine torpedo boats,
1;lce and Grampus, to " for the bat
tleship Wisconsin.
Secretary Long urges u change in
the exiting system of rewardlng OH
GERS by moving them up in rank
which, he says, is always at the eX'
pense of other officers. He says:
1t Is believed that n satisfactory remedy
for the evils growing out of this made
qnate and objectionable system Is to bt
found in either OF two measures whicl
were put before congress at Its last SEES
sion. and are stlll awaiting action. On'
of these provides simply that the ad
vancement in rank of officers of the navy
and marine corps FOR war service shal
not interfere with the regular promotion
of those otherwise entitled thereto. I'M
other to which attention Is practically
invited, is the bill to provide rewards fo
officers and men of the navy ana marln
corps" This bill authorizes the seere
tal'y of the navy TO cause to be prepare
for bestowal upon officers and men de
serving of special recognition certall
medals Of three classes,
The medals are the "honor medal,
the courage medal and the "serylc
