A NATIONAL NAVAL RESERVE.
Navy Department Wants Congress to
Provide for a Naval Militia That Can
Be Relied On.

Washington, May 25.-The Virginia
naval militia is the last to fall out of
line. Notice was received at the navy
department today from the adjutant
general of the state that the naval
militia would not be able to make its
regular annual cruise this year on
board the Prairie. The excuse assign
ed is that the organization finds it's
fully taxed by the necessity
of manning and maneuvering the con-
verified yacht Sirene, which was loaned
by the government. The wholesale de-
fections among the naval militia are
expected to lead the navy department
to renew it's efforts to secure from
congress legislation for the creation of
a national naval reserve which can be
relied upon.

CONGRESS CRITICISED
By the Grand Jury of the Federal
Court at Augusta.

Augusta, Ga, May 25.-The grand
jury for the United States district
court now in session here, with Judge
Emory Speer on the bench made the
following ~presentment in reference to
the celebrated cases of Green and the
IGaynors, whom Judge Brown a re-
fused to e%xtradite from New York
state for trial before the United States
court in this district:
w have respectfully to present
that while we approve the legislation
of congress for the extradition for trial
of those charge with crime in other
lands, we yet perceive dangerous in
consistency in its failure to enact the
proposed legislation for the removal
from one state to another of men in
dicted in their own country for crimes
committed against its laws. 1t seems
~commendable to extradite those ac-
cused of postal crimes in Cuba for
trial in that country, but while the
greatest haste is made in ~expediting
the nmval of American citizens for
trial before a Spanish court it seems
impossible, in view of the absence of
the necessary legislation, to remove
men for trial charged with crimes of
the highest magnitude from M Unit
ed States district to another.
w recommend to representatives
in congress to do all in their power to
cause the passage of h law proposed
by the attorney general which will
have the effect Of compelling judges
Of h United States court to confirm
to the established practice in such mat
tiers. Surely it is no more important
to remove for trial I'M New York to
ICuba men who are charged with the
peculation of $1,000 than it is 10 re-
move other men from New York TO
Georgia, who are charged with the
embeZzlement of more than $4,000, O0C

ed for the benefit of the people Of this
