MANILA NAUTICAL SCHOOL.
Report of Lieutenant TOwnIey, the
officer In Charge.

The Navy Department has received the
report of Lieut. r. B. Townley, of his ad-
ministration of the Nautical School at Ma
Mia, from which place he was detached
and ordered home. He recommends the
use of the Bancroft as a practice ship and
says among other things:
The students are natives. and in gen.
eral are obedient Jealous studious. /and
ambitious. Their most marked character
istics are an initiative aptitude and re-
tentive memory in all practical and me-
chanicaI work The greatest difficulty is
in enforcing regularity of attendance,
which is so essential in progressive in
struction.
Il would recommend that hereafter the
number of cadets to be admitted be ap-
portioned to the various provinces of the
Islands in proportion to the population,
and that the appointments be made by the
Governor or by some suitable officer of the
province. the appointees to be subject to
the general admission examination to be
held at that school. AS the young men
of the entire archipelago are eligible to
admission to the school. this plan in my
opinion, would afford the best means of
giving general and equal representation.
Generations of the Siesta habit affect
the cadets during the afternoon session. |
believe better work could be accomplished
by continuous session of from to IL M,
or a. m. to / p. m, than by the present
arrangement of an afternoon and a MORN
ing session. This would also compel the
students to make only one trip from the
school during the heat of the day."

A TAX ON STORAGE CAPITAL.
In Local Case, Commissioner Holds
II Subject to Revenue.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
John w. Yerkes, yesterday rendered de-
cision in which he held that a trust COM
pany doing banking business must in
clude with its banking capital, in reckon
ing the amount of special tax which it
is required to pay, the amount set apart
for use in conducting its storage business
The decision was made as the result of
the claim by the Union Trust and Stor-
age Company of this city that the amount
of money which it has set apart for use
in conducting its storage business should
not be included with its banking capital
in reckoning the amount of special tax it
is required to pay. %
The Union Trust and Storage Company
referred the case in the first instance to
Benjamin F. Par3ett, Collector of Internal
Revenue at Baltimore. Nd. who referred
it to the Commissioner. Mr.. Yerkes says:
The Secretary, Mr.. Fleming, after re-
ferring to the act of Congress approved
October l, 1890, providing for the incor-
poration of trustd loan. mortgage. and GER
tain other corporations within the Dis
trict of Columbia, and to that provision
of the act whichsreads: Provided further,
That any Of said companies may also do
storage business when their capital
stock amounts to the sum OF not less than
one million two hundred thousand dol
lars, says:
BY reason of the above proyiso the
cash capital is 81 100000 of which amount
a sum of 1850 has, from time to time.
by resolutions of the board of directors,
been set apart for the exclusive purpose
of conducting - merchandise. freight,
household. storage. and warehouse bust
ness. This capital, SO invested, repre-
sents the cost of the entire square of
ground on the line of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad in this city. and is bound
ed by First and l. Streets, Delaware Ave-
nue. and X Street On this square have
been erected three immense warehouses.
with stable, trackage, and other equip
ment. This enterprise is conducted as
separate department by our company I'M
der the authority of the aforesaid act of
Congress, and no part of tie capital so
invested Is in any way used, pledged, or
considered in connection with our bank
ing business.
Notwithstanding this statement" adds
the Commissioner II am of the opinion,
and so hold, that the special tax must be
reckoned on the entire capital of 81 ,200

SENATOR MALLORY'S VIEWS.
He Discusses Probabilities and Is
sues for the 1904 Campaign.

Senator Mallory, of Florida is in the
city on business connected with the de-
partments. He was at the Industrial
Commission yesterday to learn when the
sub-commission would have the report
ready to submit to the full Commission.
and was informed that the report would
be ready to be taken up for consideration
at the next regular meeting of the Com
mission. which would be September B.
Senator Mallory says Jacksonville is
rapidly being rebuilt and that the new
buildings will be much larger and more
handsome than the ones destroyed by fire
Commenting on the political outlook. the
Senator said the future seemed very
bright for Democratic success. Il was
not surprised at the action of the Ohio
State Democratic convention" said he
although 1 thought there would be con-
siderable more friction developed by the
refusal of the convention to reaffirm the
Kansas City platform. But the Demo-
Gratis are getting together and are turning
their thoughts to new issues rather than
dead ones. We cannot tell at this time
what the issue will be in 1906 1t mi ght
be the tariff, but that, of course, will de-
pend on the Republicans
Speaking of candidates for the Presi-
dency, Senator Mallory said that unques-
uonably President Mckinley was the
strongest man and most popular man in
the Republican party today.
But l doubt if the President will be
considered in the light of candidate
after his declaration. That forces the Re
publicans to nominate a new man, and a
new man cannot have the strength that
marked the denomination of Mckinley
/ have seen Senator Hanna's name men
toned as a candidate Senator Hanna
has very strong personality, and is
man OF ability. Then. there is Roosevelt
He is popular in the West, and has many
friends. but | believe the conservative
element would be afraid of him. Governor
0dell. of New York. is rising man, and
is rapidly coming to the front. If the
Roosevelt and Odell forces in New York
split then the Democrats will come
mighty near carrying that State"
Referring to the Democrats, Senator
Mallory spoke in high terms of HILL THE
fact is he said, the Democrats almost
everywhere have confidence in HILL and
the business men of the country have
confidence in him. He is safe and con-
servative. and he has following all over
the country.

ment of the Protestant missionary claims
in his province for losses are in rapid pro-
cess of adjustment. He has also provided
an escort for returning missionaries and
the Catholic cases are likewise receiving
attention ON the basis of the rules adopt
ed by the peace commissioners. The same
Governor has come forward with propo-
sition for the establishment of military
posts from his province to Paoting for

OCEAN GROVE CAMPMEETING CLOSED.
Interesting Reports of the Departments Show
Meeting to Have Been Successful.


Miss Bertha Hoffecker returned fr> m
Ocean Grove on Monday, after a visit
of nearly two weeks. She was present
at the close of the Campmeeting and
heard the reports of the leaders in the
different departments. Mrs. Lizzie
Smith, who had charge of the holiness
and revival meetings in the James
Memorial Tabernacle said the meet
ings were more spiritually successful
than usual. Mr.. Yatman closed his
, twenty-frst year as leader of the meet
ings at nine o'clock in the Young Peo-
ple's Temple, 1t holds 1000 people and
was always crowded. He said he had mt
had for years meetings of greater spir
itual influence and power. The Audi
tOrium holding O,OOO people was filled
on preaching occasions. The ''boy
preacher" "Jack" Cook, (15 years of
age) preached every evening of the
last week. There was some objection
the first few nights to this by leading
men, but Bishop Fitzgerald was after
wards thanked by these same people
for keeping him on. He was a marvel
of theological ability and readiness of
utterance, from any text that might be
selected for him, the only difficulty,
being that his voice was not strong
enough to be heard throughout the
vast audience. The prayer services
conducted by "Jack" and his brother
Haydn were attended with great power
and penitents were nightly at the
altar. Those associated with them in
the work, as well as his hearers were
impressed with not only their earnest
ness and ability but their spirituality.
