kEAPFF SHY TWO GUNS
AMERICAN ADMIRAL AT TAKU HAS
A REAL Personal GRIEVANCE.

LONDON July 24.-The Globes naval
correspondent at Taku writes:
Admiral Kempn has raised q storm
in a teacup on the salute question. He
is second in command of the station, and
thus entitled to eleven guns as rear ad-
miral, and this was recently given him
BY the Endymion at Yokohama. He
claimed thirteen guns, stating that no
American admiral got eleven guns, their
values being: Full admiral, II; vice ad-
miral, Is; rear admiral, 13
The United States having just started
the grade of admiral ii is probable
KempR thought out the regulations in
pure Ignorance, as there appears to be
no reason why a United States rear ad-
miral should be worth more powder than
any other rear admiral.
ITO mis- protest Admiral Kempn was
informed that the captain Of the EnGym-
Ion will give him as many guns as he
wanted if there was sufficient powder on
the ship, but until they published their
regulations we had to go by ours.
1.-THE Orlando British armored ship,
arriving at Taku, knew nothing Of this
squabble and rubbed 1t in by saluting
the Chinese rear admiral with thirteen,
then the Russian rear admiral with thir-
teen, and then the United States rear ad-
miral with eleven guns. Whether distance
made 1t difficult for them to distinguish
tended the Newark had the good taste to
return thirteen"
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The report
of the London Globes correspondent at
Taku of a question of naval etiquette
raised by Admiral Kempff in connection
with the number Of guns to which he Is
entitled, excited amused comment at the
navy department.
Admiral Kempff, as the junior rear ad-
miral on the station, being ranked by
Admiral Remey, Is entitled to thirteen
guns under our naval regulations. If the
British naval regulations make a dis
tinction between senior and junior rear
admirals ours do not The double-starred
flag in our navy receives thirteen guns,
whether the flag is blue or red
It has been unusual in our navy to
have two rear admirals on a station. In
the old days there were usually a rear
admiral and commodore, but when Ad-
niraI Dewey arrived in New York har-
Dor, in return for the seventeen guns
| given him by Rear Admiral Howison and
Sampson, the former flying the blue ana

the foreign ministers started from Pekin
to Tien Tsin, under escort of imperial
troops, the state department would not
be surprised to get definite news of them
from the headquarters Of the allied forces
in short time. The distance from Tien
Tsln to Pekin is seventy five miles, and
at this season the trip is usually made by
road from Pekin to Tong Choo, a point
on the Pei Ho, twelve miles below the
cape, and the remainder of the way by
boat. This trip now would take four
DAYS, supposing the escort Of imperial
troops met with no resistance from the
insurgents
If the move from Pehin was made
within two days after Sheng's informal
ton was received it would be possible
that the legatiOners and their escort are
now in touch with the headquarters of
the allies, always supposing that nothing
serious happened to the party on the
road.
RUSSIANS HARD PRESSED.
ST. PETERSBURG, July PA dis
patch which has been received here from
Gen. Grodekoff, at Khabarovik, dated
July q, reports that the steamer Odessa
which left Charbin July 16 brought It'd
1ngs Of the Russian force that left Te
Lin July Z, en- route to Charbin. 1t ap-
pears that 200 men started with a large
convoy of Chinese Christians, women and
children. After constant fighting, which
was often at close quarters and with
bayonet they were again attacked by
Boxers July r. The Russians lost heav-
lily and ran short of ammunition. AT last
accounts they were threatened by 1900
Boxers. Engineer Jugovitch, at Charbin,
had found it impossible to send efficient
help, as he required all his available
forces to defend Charbin, which place
contained thousands of unarmed en-
ployes with their families, who have been
concentrated from along many sections
of the railway.
Gen. Grodekoff considers the situation
bad. Attacks are daily threatened, and
rebels and marauders are overrunning
Manchuria. The general says the local
governors have little authority and that
the fanatics dominate the situation.

DEsoLATIoN HAS FOLLOWED
DEMONSTRATION IN INDIA
The Scarcity of Money Has Stopped the
Wheels of Production aud Thousands
Are Dying In the RoadwaYs-A SELF
ish Proposition.

Inc famine in India is said to ex-
eno over an area of half million
square miles-a territory four times as
great as that of the British isles. Fig
ures OF the total population of the
iamlne-stricken districts and of the
numbers aided show very clearly that
nut small proportion can have re-
ceiyed relief. The population of those
districts is something over $4,000 900
and the number aided something less
IMAM 100000. While 1t is reasonable
TO suppose that all the people do not
need relief, still it is equally reason
aoie to suppose that in such wide
spread suHerlng many are not reached
IN the efforts to ameliorate the condi-
lions.
1t was Mr.. Moreton Frewen, the
great English bimetallist, who pointed
out recently, in a communication to
London financial paper, the fact that it
was the closing of the Indian minis to
the coinage of silver which was re-
sponsible for much Of the famine in
india. The natives, he claimed, would
be IN position to avert wholly or in
part these recurring famines if it were
possible for them to have their trink-
cts minted into rupees. The fact that
they are not permitted to do so may
be taken to indicate two things-one
that human life and suffering is very
small quantity when weighed against
the advantages accruing to themoney-
ed interests through the operations Of
the gold standard; the other that these
interests find it more profitable to feed
starving millions than to allow them
the opportunity to feed themselves.
Either way the gold standard is a
selfish proposition with heart as
hard as the metal it Representatives,

The Midshipmen.s Tr;cr

One bitterly cold, dark night in the
beginning of 1855, when we were at
anchor off Sebastopol, and the decks
and rigging were covered with snow,
the officer of the watch, lieutenant
we all disliked, told us midshipmen to
warm ourselves by sweeping a gang
way along the quarterback, where he
could walk up and down, says Sir Ed
mund Varney in the Contemporary.
While we were doing this he went be-
low to have cup of cocoa; so we ar-
ranged a ridge of hard snow two or
three feet away from the top of the
hatchway, calculating that when he
came up and put his foot on the firm,
hard deck he would take the next step
with confidence. This was exactly
what happened. Coming up from the
Bright light of the cabin, y. - took his
second stab gaiii,y;' in the darkness,
tripped over the snow and fell on his
nose, to our great joy. Whether or not
he suspected that the trap had been
set on purpose for him we never knew.
He 4lrected one of the men to remove
the snow ridge. Perhaps he thought
it as well to say nothing to us, because
he had no right to order us to sweep
away snow, and he had no business to
go below and drink cocoa when officer
OF the watch.

PRIVATE OWNERSHIP.

The thirteenth amendment of the
constitution of the United States,
which amendment was ratified in 1866,
provides that neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except as a pun
ishment for crime, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall
exist within the United States, or any
place subject to their jurisdiction.
Now, whether the island of Guam is or
is not a part of the territory of the
United States, it is unquestionably
place subject to their jurisdiction"
Nobody can deny that fact, and yet we
find that Capt. Richard p Leary, gov
ernor of Guam, has issued proclama-
ton declaring ''by virtue of the au-
thority vested in him by the president,
absolute prohibition and total aboli-
ton of human slavery or peonage in
the isle of Guam on and after the
I'D of February, A. d. 1900" In this
extraordinary proclamation, the con-
stitution is ignored and the abolition
of slavery is based entirely upon the
personal authority of the president.
This was probably designed to be con
sistent with the asf fl a faf
sulu islands-also places subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States-are
allowed to retain both slavery and
polygamy. Are the new possessions
the personal property of President Nc
klnley, who can do whatever he
chooses there, or are they the property
of the United States, subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States under
rhe constitution?-Albany Argus.
