Those who believe that Great Britain's
navy would. in case of war. prove nearly
as full of anachronisms and mismanage-
ment as the South African campaign proved
the army TO be. have received additional
confirmation OF their fears by reason of
the severe structure passed by the Ad-
miralty on the irregularities Of the target
practice and representatives thereon among
the fleets now in commission. The Adj
miralty practically declares that the per-
centage sent in is worthless. In circular
TO all the commanding officers the Admiral
~ says: Practice appears to have been
carried on without a supervisor, the COM
missioned targets were not properly
checked. and the markers were not down
from another ship" Such serious repri-
mand is likely to have the desired effect of
enforcing the regulations this year. at any
rate, and, at the same time, of considera-
bly, decreasing the efficiency in markham
ship with which the British navy has been
credited.

FREE ALL BOERS.
And Abandon Unconditional Surren-
der, Advocated In House of

London, Dec. 12.-Considera-
BILE irritation was aroused dur
ing today's debate in the house
of commons, on supply. Sir
Robert It. Reid, Q. c., liberal
member for Dumfrias Burgh,
painted gloomy picture of the
condition in South Africa. He
said that after IA months of war
costing S25, 100000 per month,
anarchy was prevalent and fam
inc threatened, and this may be
followed by native rising. An
attempt to place the colonies
under military rule, he said,
would imperil the very exis-
tence of the empire. He thought
the time had arrived for Offering
the Beers terms MOI inconsistent
with British dominion. All ideas
of unconditional surrender
should be disregarded.
James Bryce, liberal, followed
on similar lines. He suggested
granting general amnesty to the
Beers now in arms as legitimate
combatants. The negotiations,
Mr.. Bryce also said should not
be entrusted to Sir Alfred Mil
ner, who was the object Of almost
universal dlstrust, inclnding at
least half the queens subjects
in South Africa.
Mr.. Broderick hotly challenged
Mr.. Bryce's statement regard
ing Alfred Miner, Sir Robert
Reid's speech, Mr.. Broderick
asserted, was impracticable,
unwise and mischievious. The
government was perfectly will
ing to offer terms of surrender
so long as it could not be inter
preted as proof of weakness and
thereby cause prolongoatiou of
the guerrilla warfare.

The bogus message sent out
by officials of the company de-
claring the strike off, had but
little effect. When the fact be-
comes generally known that there
was an attempt by some official
of the company to get the men
back to work by deception it will
make the men more determined
than ever. There is sufficient
information at present at hand
that Third Vice President Barr,
failing to secure any reliable
operators to take the places OF
the strikers, now is endeavoring
to secure students from tele-
graph schools. Mr.. Barr's ac-
ton in attempting to secure
the students emphasizes the
companyos inability to fill the
strikers places.

there was no change in the strike
on the Santa Fe. He AYERS that

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 12.-
Chairman Rogers, of the striking

false information are again out.
Chicago, Dec. II. - General
Manager, Nevin, at Los Angeles,
telegraphed today that every
thing is running smoothly west
of Albuquerque, and all the
places of striking operators have
been filed.
Local striking operators, how
ever, insist that the tie-up is
practically complete and are
urging the striking operators to
remain out. Owing to the wide
discrepancy between the state
ments of railroad officials and
the operators, it is impossible TO
correctly estimate the number
of operators out.

per capita of wheat consumed was 5
bushels; in 1894, under Democratic
rule, it sank to 319, with the price
great deal lower than in 1892 in 1899
it raised to 5 and 95-hundreths with
the price even greater than in 1892;
thus showing that the consumption
was greater and with a larger price
under Republican rule than under
Democratic rule, showing that the
people had more money to spend under
Republican rule.
Imperialism was treated for some
time nd ably discussed. In referring
to the Philippines, Mr.. Funk showed
the treachery of Aguinaldo, whom the
Democrats refer to as the George
Washington of the 10Th century, and
stated that Uncle Sam with Mckinley
at the head will protect the Filipino
forever, but that they cannot protect
them while in rebellion and not until
they lay down their arms can terms be
made with them. The standing army
in the Philippines is not permanent
thing and as soon as Mckinley is again
elected the Filippinos will desist and
the army will be withdrawn and dis
banded. The present attitude of the
Filipinos is due to the encourage
ment of Mr. Bryan and the Democratic
party, it being used chiefly as a cam
paign issue. The fight is to be kept
up with the hope that it will help elect
Bryan The speaker referred to the
candidates for state offices, paying a
warm tribute to Capt. Van SAINT and
showing his merits and why he should
receive the vote of every fair-minded
voter. He referred to the splendid re-
cord of Congressman McCleary, and
occasions what attitude he was going
to take in this matter, and that he
wished it understood that he will sup
port Mr. McCleary with all his power
just as cheerfully as though he had
never tried to get the Office for which
Mr.. McCleary received the nomination
over him. He referred to the merits
of all the nominees on the Republican
county ticket and hoped that the Re-
publicans will turn out and elect the
ticket from top to bottom. Mr..
Funk was loudly applauded at his
conclusion.
