NAVAL OFFICERS NEEDED
SHORTAGE OF ONE HUNDRED
AND SIXTY.
Two Battleships and Several Gunboats
are Put Out of Commission in Con-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS at Annapolis.

WASHINGTON April 14.-The Navy
Department was under the necessity to-
day of ordering the cruiser Detroit to
the Portsmouth Navy Yard, New
Hampshire, to go out of commission.
In addition to this orders have been
prepared to put the Marb!ehad out Of
commission at Mare Island, and tsla'
graph orders have been sent to Admiral
Watson to send the gunboats Bennirg-
ton and Concord, now at Manila, to San
Francisco, where they will also be put
out of commission. The big battleships
Indiana and Massachusetts, which have
just been overhauled at the New York
Navy Yard, are also to be sent to
League Island about the first of the
month to be laid up in ordinary, instead
of being commissioned.
This remarkable reduction of the
number of ships in commission is as
cribed at the Navy Department to the
lack of a sufficient number of officers
to furnish compliments for the ships
absolutely required for naval purposes.
The battleship Kearsarge has just been
put in commission, and the Illinois, on
the Atlantic side, and the Wisconsin on
the Pacific Coast must also be commits
stoned Immediately in order that the
ships may be taken over from the hands
of the contractors. Then there are some
smaller craft like the Stringham and
the chesapeake dlSO Calling lOl CplllilllS-
sions and crews. The extent of the
shortage may be suggested by the fact
that for all the four great guns in the
double turrets of the new Oattleship
Kearsarge but one officer could be
spared, involving undue risk, even In
| times of peace.
| The Navigation Bureau is authority
| for the statement that there are fully
| 100 vacancies in the line of the Navy,
and the total number of officers is real
ly less than it was fifteen years ago.
Notwithstanding the great increase of
| the number of ships. The projected
shortening of the course at Annapolis,
provided for in the pending naval bill,
would not substantially relieve the sit
uation in less than fifteen years; 80
the officials are striving hard to find
some method for temporary relief, such,
perhaps, as the graduation of the An
napolis classes for the next two years
one year in advance of the usual time,
or an authorization for the immediate
appointment to Annapolis of about a
! hundred extra cadets.

HOW TO TREAT THE TURK
DIR. JEssUP ILLUSTRATES WITH A
STORY.
Sultan Should be Approached With a
Fleet Of Battleships, and Made to
Understand That Business is Meant.

Rev. Or. Jessup. perhaps the most
prominent of the missionaries in Tur-
key, relates story which he said was
recently told about the cafes to Illus
trate the peculiar character Of the
Turks. A caliph of one Of the interior
provinces had a son who fell in love
with the daughter of a farmer, and the
caliph sent his grand vizier to arrange
for a marriage. He carried handsome
presents to the father and the girl and
presented the desire of his master with
great humility and profuse compli-
ments. The farmer ordered him out
of his house and treated him i'm most
insulting manner. The Caliph thinking
that the grand Vizier might have shown
lack of tact or have given offense III
some way, sent the general command
ing his army with apologies and more
presents and a renewal of the marriage
offer, but the farmer received him with
even greater indignity, and not only
heaped upon him abusive epithets, in
which the Turkish language is richer
than any other, but actually offered him
personal violence The caliph and his
son were mortified over the failure OF
their matrimonial negotiations, when
an old and very wise friend offered 10
try his luck as an emissary He car
ried no presents and offered no compli-
ments, but, when he came upon the
farmer began to curse him and to call
him all the vile names he could think Of
He picked up clods of earth and stones
and threw them at him, beat him over
the head with his riding whip, pulled
his hair, shook him by the collar and
spat in his face
What are you doing all this for?
exclaimed the astonished farmer Why
| should a stranger abuse me thus What
have 1 ever done to thee?"
You will not give your daughter ii
marriage to the son of my friend, the
! caliph'
| II have never refused to do So" sale
the farmer humbly; but nobody evei
approached me about it in reasonable
manner"
Dr. Jessup said that if the United
States Government would approach thu

fleet of battleships, and act as if i
intended to protect the American mis-
sionaries in Turkey, neither they no.

r. w. Tanks

We wish to call attention to our
Round Iron Hoop Tank. These have
advantages over other tanks, because
it allows the whole of the outside to
be painted. 1t is easier put up, and is
non-shrinkable, and does not pollute
the water in the tank as the so-called
non-shrinkable tanks do.
We have on hand a large assortment
of Tanks from 500 gallons up to 10000
gallons.
Prices and directions for setting up
to be had on application.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-01-19

If the Peoples party is advocating so many
vagaries, it sounds strange to see III Kansas
daiies so much praise about the Kansas binding
Irvine plant al the penitentiary, and how much
it will save Kansas! And, besides this, the war
department is putting in two lines OF ocean
steamers one from San Francisco to Manila and
one from New York to Porto Rico. 1t is all
right when it is done by the Republican party,
but all wrong if even advocated by any other
party If this great and glorious Republican
party had nvestedth that $40 900, 900 in railroads,
instead of buying the Spanish equity in the
PHILIPPINES and expanding millions to get poss-
esson of the property, Uncle Sam would be liv-
lug on Easy street instead of walking the floor
and tearing his hair wondering how to conquer
the Filipino. Besides, losing the lives of some
of our brightest young Americans. There is
no doubt but that "war is hell, " and that it will
result in the destruction of the party which
brings it about and SO should. But Just think
of the railroads this amout of money would
have bought! The government could have
saved the people thousands of dollars which now
goes into the pockets of the railroads, and in
iured, no one. The government would pay
lust as good wages to the railroad men, and
would make better rates to the patrons OF the
roads. Public own ershp is coming, and the
Republican party is taking it upin many cases

ALBAUGH AND BROWN IN DISGRACE.

Chairman Mort Albaugh and Secretary Frank

Republican state committee at Topeka on the

wishes of Governor Stanley and the other MEM
beers of the state administration, but Cy Leland
had issued ORDERS and Albauugh and Brown had
to obey the boss. Doubtless, Albough's and
Browns heads will fall into the basket at the

THE imperiaists are both having hard sled
ding in their wars of conquest. The McKin-

are at large, and battles every day IN sight
of Manila Lieutenant Gilmore and his 80
men have returned TO Manila, having been turn
ed loose by the Filipino soldiers having them in
charge. Gilmore speaks very highly of Aguin-

that the war will lastas long as there is living
