courtesy shown by the Japanese gov
eminent in generously extending its
resources for repairs to the ship. The
report makes the point that the gov
eminent should construct or acquire
| on the Asiatic station, dock OF its
own for the largest vessels.
There were 2,452 assertions from the
navy and Sc deaths during the past
fiscal year. The enlistments numbered
1872 from total number of applicants
of 4o,S54. Over 6S per cent of the men
in the navy are native born, 10 per
cent are naturalized, and 9 per cent
have declared intentions. Ninety-two
per cent of the landsmen now under
training are native born.
| Admiral Crowninshield finds that
the Chesapeake is too small for the
midshipmen, and asks that she be
transferred to the training station at
Newport and that another vessel be
| built for the cadets, to accommodate
at least 300 besides her crew. Touch
|
| ing the naval academy, it is earnestly
urged that no physical disqualifications
of cadets shall be waived hereafter, as
| there has been marked deterioration
in the past ten years in the physical
condition of the graduating cadets,
owing to their abandonment of the
vigorous wedding OUT process, which
| has now fallen into disuse. 1t is also
| strongly urged that the two years sup
| Elemental course at sea shall be aband-
oned. Finally, strong commentator
is given to the superintendent recon-
mendation that the age limit for cadets
upon admission shall between the
ages of Is and 1S, and that the course
at the academy shall be four years.
Two additional training ships for
apprentices at Newport are said to be
| urgently needed. The report urges
continued training Of the men in
craftsmanship.
The admiral makes a strong point in
his report of the necessity of naval
barracks, to take the place of the pres
ent receiving ships, which he says are
nothing more nor less than poorly con-
structed, ill-yentilated, badly lighted,
unsanitary, old fashioned floating
| houses, and in many cases they aften
| fail in being af1oat. Congress is urged
to authorize an expenditure of $780,
600 for seamen's quarters at New York
and at League Island, 100000 to be
made Immediately available.
A mild reproof upon Congress is con-
tanned in the closing paragraph of the
report which calls attention to the dis
couraging conditions in which dis
! tinguished officers of the navy have
been left by not receiving any formal
| recognition for their heroic services
during the war with Spain. The re.
port says that the navy had no part in
the unfortunate public controversy
| which followed upon the Presidents
recommendation that certain officers
should be promoted and adds that thus
far there has been no recognition By
Congress, except of those who shared
in the victory at Manila and three who
served elsewhere in the war.

Three hunters, Bill Cole, John Ruck-

Friday. While out hunting they ran
upon the monster eating chestnuts and
opened fire. The wounded animal

times. Ruckman fired several shots
at the bear and finally killed him. The
animal weighed $50 pounds. There are
a great many bears in the mountains
this year, and hunters declare they
were never fatter, due, it is believed,
to the very heavy crop of chestnuts.

The task Of conquering western
Kansas by means of the Campbell
system Of soil culture has been going
on all the past season in Graham
county. The manager writes that he
is satisfied with the outlook and that
he thinks that he will be able to show
the people Of that section OF the state
how to produce crops regularly.
He has 100 acres now under cult
walton and there are 10000 more
ready for him with millionaire to
back him with oil the means he needs.
The 100 acres Of wheat goes into win
,er with broad, dark leaves and in
the best OF condition. Ten acres were
set to fruit trees last spring and only
two per cent died, phenomenally
small loss.
Forty acres more will be set to
fruit in the spring. Other crops will
be added and the intention is to make
the experiment fully demonstrative
Of all the possibilities in that section
OF the State.
The basis Of the system is the fire.
quent cultivation Of the top Of the
soil to very small depth and the
packing Of the earth beneath that 1t
is claimed that this will preserve the
moisture and the enthusiasts are sure
that they can redeem western Kansas
II they can they deserve life pensions
no one else has ever been able to DO
so on an agricultural basis.

Kansas Bumper Year.

The report OF the state board OF
agriculture for the year just filed is a
most hattering document for the peo-
pie Of Kansas. 1t gives the wheat
crop as rs, 1896, 443 bushels, the larg-
est yield in Kansas history and which
exceeds that Of last year by 33,779 i.
600 bushels, and by sl9,6O7, 900 in
value, thus accounting for some Of
the prosperity that has come to the
state. The home value is given as
Al,624, 900, but a large amount of
the grain is in the hands Of the farm
ers yet.
1t is reported that the new acreage
is per cent more than last year and
amounts to 4,567,523 acres. The
condition at this date is said by the
board of agriculture to be the best
the state has ever known and that it
will enter the winter in better condi-
ton than any crop in states history
The percentage Of condition is 997
which ought to be good enough for
anybody. The corn shows falling off
from last Of 9O,659, 900 bushels and
| is 1870, $685. 77 bushels. Its value is
$50, 100000.
The shortage has affected the cattle
feeding and in many sections there
is none at all. The value OF the
wheat, corn and oats is 1888, 1872, 900,
or 81, 900, 900 more than that Of last
year. The grain products amount to
1857, 100000 and the live stock to
$l4S, 457, 1853, showing that the state
even in good crop year is giving
less attention than Of old to grain but
devotes practically one hall Of its
productive industry to stock.
The agricultural productions in
GLIDING stock this year amount tc
$28,S4S,OO0 more than in 1899. The
total increase in 1899.190O over TIT

The Historical Novels.

W. D. Howells does not take a
cheerful view OF the new historical
novel craze. In the North American
Review, discoursing on them, he finds
little to praise. As class, he pro-
nounces them TO be as untrue to the
complexion Of the past as to personal
ity in any time. He is amused at the
spilth Of blood with which they reek,
and panied at the absence in them OF
the consciousness that it is better to
suffer wrong than to take the life OF
the vilest miscreant. He says:
1.-THE inventors OF the hideous Incl
dents with which the new romances
TEEN have no turn for character II
they had the time for it; and possibly
they do not prefer bloodshed, but are
simply too busy with butchery for
anything else. They are mostly gen.
tlemen OF peaceful csllings and the
instincts Of law.abiding citizens, with
probably no love Of homicide in them'
who would rather stay away from a
smuggling match than not, and would
not greatly enjoy an electrocution.
Any pleasure in their bloody business,
II it could be realized, is still less i'm
agiuable Of the young ladies who deal
in its horrors. These can hardly
have witnessed violence OF any kind
and must sicken at the sight Of blows
with the fist, much more thrusts with
a sword or shots with pistol; and it
may we'll be said that they mean no
harm by their ideals Of militant man
hood. Very likely their ideals dc not
do all the harm which is their logic,
but tits all the same their logic; just
as the logic Of the royalties and no.
bilities which abound in the new his
torical romances is that life cannot be
beautiful or great without them.
Their testimony, false witness as it is
| is against the American life Of indi-
vidual worth, without titles and
ranks, and only the distinction OF
honorable achievement.
