1t is more than probable that an
effort will be made IN this Congress
to repeal at least portion of the per-
sonnet bill passed at the last session
unless navy officers show themselves
more careful to obey the instructions
of Congress. Before the bill was
passed, it was urged by the Navy De-
partment as a means whereby tn en-
gineer forces could be largely in
creased at will by drawing on line of
ficers, while possible deficiencies in
the line could in turn be supplied by
the engineer corps. The Bureau of
Navigation, however, sustained by
Secretary Long, has now construed
the bill to mean that all engineer Of
fcers are relieved for duty as engi-
neers and that no line officers are
made subject to them. At present
the costly and complicated machin-
cry of our ships are cared for by one
educated officer as chief engineer,
and by a number of enlisted men
known as warrant machinists. All
the fine technical skill acquired by
our engineer officers through so many
years; skill which made possible the
wonderful run of the Oregon and has
put American engineers at the very
head of their profession, has been
practically blotted out of existence,
the former officers now being engaged
IN line duties and not being required
to go into the engine rooms at all. In
the opinion of many. this construc-
ton, unless overruled or repealed.
will mark the beginning of the deca
dence of our advancing naval suprem-
acy. When officers get too good to
dirty their hands with the actual
workings of machinery, the ignorance
and naval fate of the Spanish and
other deosdent peoples are certain to
overtake us. Congress has observed
this fact, and recently delegation of
the very men who were most instru-
mental In passing the personnel bill
called upon Mr.. Long and remon-
strated with him on the abuse of the
favors granted by Congress. Mr..
Long, however, made no satisfactory
reply.

Little Legislative Work.

One-half of the legislative session
has expired, and there has been real
ly little legislation of general interest.
A number of important measures are
before the committees, awaiting ac-
ton. The Epps bill, 20 provide sep
crate coaches for the white aud black
races, was introduced nearly five
weeks ago, but the House Committee
on Roads Is not prepared to make a
report. This measure came up at
the meeting of the committee Satur-
dayandseversls substitutes wereoffered.
MIR. Epps insisted that his bill be re
ported back to the House. either ia
vorably or adversely. The commit

a bill was offered in the House bv
MIR. Patterson. of Richmond, to make

The position of the Register of the

What is probably the most impor-
tant question connected with the in-
sular possessions of the United States
has been referred to a subcommittee
of the Ways and Means committee
for consideration and report. This
is whether the 90 nited States" with
in which all duties must be uniform.
includes only the States and terrific
ries or also the property" of the
United States. The present question
Is, of course, whether we are TO have
free trade with free immigration from
Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines
and perhaps in the future with Cuba,
or whether we can govern them as
our property without any other rights
than those that Congress may be will
ling to confer upon them. 1t also
involves the question whether the
coasts of the United States include
those of the outlying islands and
whether trade with them is therefore
restricted exclusively to United States
ships or not. Congress is not divld-
ed on this question on political lines,
although as general rule, Democrats
hold that all landed property of the
United States is part of the United
States, while Republicans generally
hold that part of this can be set
apart and governed without reference
to the Constitution. There is more
general acceptance of the proposition,
that SO long as the President governs
these islands under military law with
ont action by Congress, the COnstitu-
ton does not apply to them. The
question is as to their status after
Congress begins to legislate concern
ing them. Of course, no debate in
the Ways and Means Committee nor
even decision by Congress itself can
positively settle the matter. That
will be question for the Supreme
Court. Recognizing this fact, the
administration prefers to go slow in
the organization of the islands by
Congress, hoping that occasion may
be found to obtain decision of the
Supreme Court regarding Porto Rico
or Hawaii before irrevocable steps
have been taken in regard to the
Philippines.

Wheat Trade.

We cannot see how the various
trades aud industries of the country
can continue to maintain their pres
ent advanced prices while wheat and
corn rule at such low prices ON the
market. Grain shows no disposition
to advance. Next to the transporta-
ton of four millions of gold last week
wheat transportation ruled, and its
price continues low, and the indlca-
tions are of continued decline in the
wheat exports.
Wheat shipments out of the coun-
try last week aggregated only 2.5O9,-
6S5 bushels, against nearly 1000, 900
bushels year ago. For a month
past, according to Bradstreet's fig
ures, wheat exports have amounted to
about 100000 bushels, against
24,900,000 in the same period year
ago. And prices ride lower now than
tnen-tne cash grain closing last
week at 65s cents. The decline in
corn exports is less pronounced, but
the price is four cents bushel less
than at this time last year. This
state of the grain export trade is inn
portant as foreshsdowing a decided
modification of the nations recent
extraordinary position of profit and
advantage in the foreign trade.
The tight money which brought
about the Wall street slump has not

1t has served to halt speculation in
various markets, notably raw wool,
and has caused hesitation and some

The mobbing of the gambler Watt

tainlY unnecessary. and therefore in
excusable. There was no doubt of
his guilt and his punishment under
the law would haye been swift and
sure. But the summary vengeance
of the mob serves to prove that there
is no distinction of race, color, or pre-
vious condition known in the South

is to be accomplished. 1t makes no
difference whether it be white brute
