simpson Defies the School Board.

PHEN1x CITY, Ala, Oct. 11.-Profes-
sor H. S. Simpson, whose resignation
was accepted by the Phenix City school
board, went to the schoolhouse and
opened the school, saying that he was
determined to teach. A note was sent
to him by the school board, stating that
his resignation had been accepted and
that he was trespassing. He went on
teaching, however, and 1t is said he will
continue to do so. 1t is probable that If
Simpson does go back to the school he
will be arrested for trespassing.

FARQUHAR'S REPORT
ON The MANEUVERS
Important Results Derived
From Mimic Warfare.
HOLLAND TYPE OF VESSEL

1t Is Destined to Play an Important
Part In Future Naval Warfare.
Work of the Torpedo Boats-Ad-
miral Makes Suggestion.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE ravy de-
partment has received Admiral Far
quhar's report on the recent maneuvers
of the North Atlantic squadron off New
port, r. l. The admiral comments pri-
marily on the zeal and enthusiasm the
mimic naval warfares awakened among
the officers and men. The exercises
proper began Sept "a when the red
squadron consisting of the Kearsarge,
Indiana, Texas, Scorpion and Eagle, &C.
companied by six torpedo boats, put to
sea to effect a blockade of Newport.
The remaining vessels, the New York,
Massachusetts, Leyden and Vicksburg,
were stationed as defenders of the haF-
Dor and constituted the blue squadron.
The general plan of defense followed
by the inside squadron was to place a
battleship on each side of and just in
side the mouth Of the harbor so as to be
boats armed with rapid fire guns and
sharpshooters were provided with sys-
TEN of signals to warn all hands of the
approach of the enemy, and powerful
searohlights at Fort Greeble and other
points insured protection at night.
The general plan followed by all ves-
sells was not to turn on searchlights un-
til the approach of a torpedo boat was

The bow wave and wake Of torpedo
boats was the first object that aided in
picking them up in the darkness.
Farquhar's Recommendation.
'In this connection, says the adj
miral, 81 would suggest the advisbaility
of the departments keeping as many
torpedo boats or destroyers as practical
bic with the squadron at all times to 40
custom both officers and men with their
general characteristics, movements, ETC.,
and in order to carry on exercises with
them in all the various ports visited"
The second nights operations con-
sisted of an attack upon the outside, or
red squadron, by five torpedo boats and
the Holland. AS a rule the torpedo
boats were successful, although this
would scarcely have been the case with
an efficient boat service.
Every condition of battle was simu-
lated as nearly as was possible, although
blank charges from the small rapid fire
guns constituted all the firing. While
much was wanting, says Admiral Far
Quhar, both In time and material to
carry out the maneuvers on a large
scale, still a number of professional
points were brought out which will be

GREETED BY BIG CROWDS

]. Bryan made the first speech of the
day at Hastings, beginning at o'clock
and Notwithstanding the early hour ha
had good audience. He talked largely
of Imperialism, saying the Flip nos
should have their own flag which y g
should help protect. They should ba
allowed to work out their own destiny
as we desired to be allowed to work out
ours.
The second speech was at Nashville,
where, for five minutes, Mr.. Bryan sug-
gested a series Of questions to Repubh.
cans. One was:
eff the trusts are q good thing why
did the Republican platform denounce
trusts?''
IF the trust is bad thing why did
the Republican administration allow
more trusts to be organized than during
all previous history of the country?
eff some trusts are good and some
bad, can you tell the difference between
a good one and bad one?
''Do you know of any good monopoly
in private hands?
''Do you know of any man good
enough to stand at the head Of a mo-
nopoly and determine the price of that
which others are to usep
'Do you know of any good reason
why the army should be made 100000?
"Would you be willing to make the
army 200, 900 il the Republican leaders
said so, or 100000 if they wanted it?

THE oRPHEUM.
Program a Genuine Surprise 81
Cheerful Liar.D

Congratulations are undoubtedly in
order both to management and players
on the capital production of "a Cheer
full Liar" last evening. A farce-com-
edy is never an easy thing to play; it
is a constant tax to keep up the shuttle
cock of humor. Some five weeks ago
"A Cheerful Liar" was attempted by a
professional company in Portland and
the players were closed the first night
for incompeteney. 1t is safe to predict
that had the Orpheum company's pro-
duction been rendered such course
would not have been necessary. Praise
is due the dual stage managers, Messrs.
Dunn and Richards, for the vim, spar
kle and snap with which the farce was
played. OF course, there were a few
little first-night Irregularities, but the
bitches We're few and unnoticeabie,
while the points were well brought out
and the climaxes happily worked up to.
The audience, a trifle critical at first,
rapidly warmed to the situation, and
laughter speedily reigned supreme,
Space forbids full mention of the va
rious characters. All were well ham

or candidates for the Office.
Unquestionably the views of Con-
gress on the expansion question have
been taking more definite shape with
in the last two weeks. The nation is
on the eve of Presidential election
and the issue involved in expansion
must be carefully settled now. There
will be a long debate over the relations
of the new territories to the Federal
Government. If the Hawaiian Bill is
taken up before the bill for the gov
ernment of Puerto Rico, the whole
question of the extension of the Con-
stitution will be taken up and dis
cussed in all its bearings. 1t will not
be limited to the Hawaiian Bill. That
bill will be only the text from which
there will be departures in all direc-
tions. A Democratic member of the
| House, taking for his text, last week.
the Appropriation Bill, delivered a
speech, in which he attacked and
| sharply criticized the decision of the
| Hawaiian Supreme Court, which holds
| that the Constitution was not expressly
extended to Hawaii by the Annexation
Act. The speech was partisan attack
| upon the Republican party.
! The disposition of the friends of the
| Hawaiian Bill is to keep it back until
the whole question of the expansion OF
the Constitution has been thrashed out
on the Puerto Rico Bill. After that
has been done the Hawaiian Bill will
be readily passed with little debate.
| A long debate is now inevitable. The
President and the men behind him
| find safety in the rule that the Consti-
tuition does not, of ITSELF reach an an
neXed territory, and that Congress can
regulate the political and financial
status of any territory. Under TINS
rule it can extend the customs laws 10
Hawaii and refuse them to Puerto RICO
or the Philippines, and anticipate the
coming question This rule will fore
stall the Democratic proposition that
the Republicans have extended the
Constitution by it's own force TO the
new possessions, and the ten mllllon
of Fihpinos are now American citl-
zens, and must be treated as such; and
will compete with American farmers.
So far, the Democratic leaders have
not disclosed any special hostility 10
