NAVY WANTS THE BEST
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY TO BE
USED ON wARsHIPS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The navy de-
partment has taken the initial steps to-
ward the adoption of wireless telegraphy
as means of signaling between war;
ships at sea. To this end Admiral Brad
ford of the bureau of equipment, has
asked that the armored cruisers of the
Pennsylvania class have their masts and
rigging so arranged that the wireless
system can be introduced
1t is intended to get tests sets of In
struments of the various wireless sys-
TENS now being operated. These inclule
the Marconi system. Thus far, however,
the navy department has not adopted
definitely any system, but the construc-
tion of the new ships is regarded as a
preliminary to the adoption of a sys-
tenn whenever its practicability is estab-
lished fully. The British navy already
has number of its ships equipped with
the wireless system, but this is the first
move on the part of the American navy
to make use of a wireless plan.

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 26-The Bee will
print an announcement tomorrow morn
ing based upon direct information from
the family of F. d. Coburn, of Kansas,
to the effect that he will be rendered
the portfolio of agriculture in President
Roosevelt's cabinet.
Mr. Coburn is serving his fourth term
as secretary of the Kansas state board
of agriculture, and his work in the ad-
vancement of husbandry in his state has
been widely acknowledged.
He only missed the appointment by a
narrow margin when McKinleys cabinet
was formulated, and his candidacy
came at once into prominence again when
Secretary Wilson's friends saw the i'm
propriety of the cabinet containing two
members from such an Overwhelmingly
Republican state as Iowa. His apoint-
ment to the place, it is said, will follow
at once upon the notice Of Secretary VIII
sons retirement.
Mr.. Coburn's qualifications for the po-
sition are vouched for without excep-
ton by both theoretical and practical
agricultural experts of the West. Among
the Endorsements offered have been per-
sonal letters from every Republican leg
islator in Kansas and resolutions passed

Improved Stock Dealers association, the
Swine Breeders association, the Oklaho-
ma Stockmen's association, the Kansas
City Live Stock exchange, the Kansas
State Editorial association and the state
board of agriculture.
Mr.. Coburn first became secretary Of
the Kansas board of agriculture in 1881.
Four times he has been reelected Sec
retary, on the last two occasions by ac-
clamation. At the recent national con-
gress in Chicago, called to promote the
wider use of corn in this and foreign
countries, Mr.. Coburn was unanimously
chosen president by representatives pres
ent from twenty-five states. He was
for three years president Of the board
of regents Of the state agricultural COL
lege. He has been identified with scien-
tific farming throughout his life, begin
ming his apprenticeship upon his dis
charge from the Union army upon the
farm which later became his own in

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26.-Word has
been received here, that Indianians now
in Washington have protested that l.
President Roosevelt does not wish to
stir up a hornets nest in Indiana ne
had better prevent Secretary Long from
undertaking to discipline Rear Admiral
Brown, retired, as he disciplined Miles.
However, officers on the retired list are
hardly amenable to strict discipline, and
will not be disturbed, provided they take
the hint and refrain from expressing
views which may not be approved by the
administration.
The publication of Roosevelt's conlec-
ton with the celebrated "round robin
of Cuban notoriety provoked no end Of
caustie comment here, and local leaders
are vigorously claiming that Miles and
Roosevelts offenses were not parallel
as Miles talked to outside people, while
Roosevelt . ..roel1ld robin was submitted
through the regular channels until 1t
reached the war department, and in that
way conformed to military discipline. Ev-
identity this will be the keynote Of the
disclaimer to be sounded at the Repu5-
lican love feast during the coming week,
and unless some enthusiastic country
delegate slips the "gag" and SAYS things
the incident will hardly be touched uron.
1t is certain that the whole business viii
be smothered, If 1t is in the power of
the administration to smother It.
Meanwhile it is noticeable that Fair
banks presidential stock, which was
without quotable value within recent
days, is looking up and the Fairbanks
followers are arching their backs and
swelling their breasts with an air of
expectancy. They figure that few
more breaks like the Miles reprimand and
Roosevelt can be easily knocked out in
Indiana.

NJ. E. CONSTITUTION
LAST GENERAL CONFERENCE
is ADOPTED
WOMEN CAN SIT AS DELEGATES
That Was the Principal Bone of
COntenticn-Layme Can Vote
on Constitutional Cues
tions Hereafter.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Announcement
was made here today that the new con-
stitution of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which was adopted at the last
general conference of that denomination
held at the Auditorium in 1900 and re-
ferred to the various conferences
throughout the country, has finally been
approved by the three quarters vote re-
quired. The vote stood: Ayes S,196, nays
2,519.
The element which opposed the new
organic law OF the church because it
provided for the admission of woman as
delegates to the general conference made
war on the new constitution all along the
line, but met with defeat. One hundred
and twenty-one annual conferences voted
on the question, total of 10709 ballots
being cast by delegates.
The principal changes provided for by
the new constitution are: 1t gives women
the right to sit as delegates in the gen.
eral conference; it gievs laymen's cleo
toral meetings authority to vote on con-
stitutional questions; it changes the vote
necessary in the general conference to
amend the constitution from three
fourths to two-thirds.

A BABY IN THE MAIL
CLERKS HAD AN ELEPHANT ON
THEIR HANDS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 2e.-The
postoffice employees at the union station
substation found a strange package
among the Christmas packages when
they came to assort them for the wait
ing trains at the station. They came
across a basket on which there was no
address and no stamp, and none Of
them could remember taking it in.
Examination showed that it was COW
cred over with linen, and when turned
on one side a small bottle of milk fell
out. This led to the opening of the bas-
ket, and a baby boy probably a week
old was found, neatly wrapped up in
fannels and sleeping soundly. Another
bottle of milk was found in the basket.
The police were called and took charge
of the infant, but the postofice employees
are at a loss to know how it got into
the office.

CAPTURED BY DEWET
BOER GENERAL TAKES A CHRIST
MAS GIFT FORCIBLY.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The following dis
patch has been received from Lord Kitch-
ener, dated johannesburg:
Gen. Rumble reports that the night of
Dec. "a Col. Forman's company at Ze-
fontaine, consisting of three companies
of yeomanry and two guns, was sue
cessfully rushed by a strong commando
under Dewet. 1t is feared that the cas-
ualties were heavy. Two regiments of
light horse are pursuing the Beers.
Boer resistance has always been very
strong in that part of the Orange River
colony which was the scene of Gen. De-
vets Christmas coup. A great quadran-
gle of block houses is being built there,
the four points of which are Vereenig-
nen, Valksrust, Harrismith and Kroon-
stadt. AT the southeast coast of this
quadrangle is an open space from Beth
lehem to Lindley, where the square of
blockhouses is still incomplete, and here
Dewet made his attack
Col. Forman's force probaly amounted
to 400 men, and the disaster, especially
the loss of the guns, the possession of
which may enable Dewet to successfully
attack the blockhouses, creates a dis
turbing impression.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-Sensational
developments are yet among the possi-
bilities as a result of the censure py
President Roosevelt of Gen. Miles for his
public defense of Admiral Schley in op-
position to the findings of the majority
of the court of inquiry. When President
Roosevelt yas colonel of the Rough
Riders in the Santiago campaign he is
said to have written a good many let
ters bitterly attacking his military and
civilian superiors, from Secretary Alger
and Gen. Shafter down, for their conduct
of military operations. These letters, it
is asserted, were in violation Of military
discipline. ~!
Now it is intimated that the presidents
political opponents have secured possess
sion of some of these letters and copies
of others written during the campaign
of 1900. They could not be used then
with much effect, but the present occa-
sion may be utilized to get them in print.
1t is said they constitute a breach Of
military discipline compared with which
Miles break is not even deserving OF
notice

the middle lobe of the right lung. 1t was
impossible to say until Wednesday passed
