OUR WARsHIPs IN PACIFIC.
The Proposed Naval Station at Pearl
Harbor.

The Proposed Naval Station at Pearl
Harbor.
WASHINGTON, May 25. - The naval
board having charge of the location of
a naval station at Pearl Harbor, Ha-
wali, has completed it's work. The
board adheres to the view that Pearl
harbor is the only harbor in the Ha.
waiian group capable of complete naval
defense. 1t is only miles from Homo
lulu. Much of the surrounding land
has been occupied for commercial pur-
poses. The board proposes to leave this
shore land for commercial purposes, If
possible, and to locate the naval station
on the large island lying the middle of
the harbor.
AS some of this island land was raised
to high price since it was learned the
government might want it, the board is
disposed to consider a much larger tract
of island land, so that the final selection
may be made with less restriction.
The improvement of the harbor con-
templates deep water channel across
the coral bar at the entrance and heavy
batteries on each side of the entrance.

BUT HUMAN, AFTER ALL.
Illustration of King Edwards Devo
tion to His Friends.

LONDON, May 25.-The kings escape
at the time of the accident to the Sham
rock II had at the time added to his
popularity. With what tact his majesty
preserves the happy relation between
him and his subjects may be inferred
from an incident which occurred.
A colonel, Hon. Charles Eliot, whose
friendship with the king dated from the
time of the royal visit to America, when
Colonel Eliot acted as the mentor of the
then Prince of Wales, lay dying at the
Sports club Colonel Eliot had not had
any intimate relations with the king for
many years, but his majesty, hearing of
the old soldiers condition, Immediately
drove to the club, got out and inquired
sympathetically for his former friend,
and these visits were continued daily
until Colonel Eliot died.
Princess Christian also called at the
club, for Eliot was formerly member
of her household. She walked straight
to his room, said a few words and kissed
the dying mans hand.

FRANCHISES NOT TAxAsLE.
Held as Intangible Property by the
Texas Courts.

AUSTIN, May %. The supreme court
has handed down an opinion in which
it holds that the franchises of railroads
and corporations, known as intangible
property, are not taxable. The case
came up from the Travis county dis
trlct court and from there was appealed
to the third court of civil appeals at
Austin and to the supreme court. The
decision Of the latter court affrms the
decision of the lower court.
There was a test case which was
styled the state of Texas versus the
Austin and Northwestern Railroad COM
pany, wherein it was sought to tax the
franchise of a railroad corporation.
The court holds that the fran
chise of a railroad corporation with
out it's real property Is hfeless and also
that taxing the franchise and real prop.
erty would be double taxation, not per.
mitted under the laws Of Texas.

Device Adopted for Inauguration Oc-
casfOns Employed Last Nights
Much of the success of the polioO4 ar
rangements Of last night and this morn
ing along Pennsylvania avenue was due to
the permanent roping device, which came
to the police department as legacy of the
Inauguration Of President Mckinley March
last. 1t was sad fact noted by many,
that the device should be now used for
the funeral Of the President for whose
inauguration it was planned a little more
than half a year ago.
At the last Inauguration Major Richard
Sylvester, superintendent of police, was
chairman of the committee on public order.
Upon his recommendation an appropriation
Of $4,000 was secured from Congress for
the purpose of providing sufficient police
protection. 1t was a larger amount than
had ever before been granted, the increase
being for the purchase of permanent
roping outfit which might be used on all
public and state occasions. The plan has
proved to be very effective. Iron sockets
were sunk along the sidewalks and across
the Intervening streets from the Peace
monument to the White House at short in
teryalS. When not in use these sockets
are fitted with plug and are unnoticeable.
When in use the plug is removed and q
stout steel stanchion about 3l2 feet In
height is inserted. Through rings at the
top of these stanchions the wire cable
which holds the crowds in place Is strung.

the remainder of the procession moved

Soon all passed out Of the big front doors
and William Mckinley belonged to his
widow for the lonely night. Not until the
morrow could the nation once again claim
the privilege of taking from her the right
to possess the remains of him she had
loved so devotedly and tenderly. For
that she had loved him all who knew the
history of the White House home could
testify. He was more to her than all
other beings in the world, and now, in the
dead hours of the night, once more back
In the room that he and she had called
their own, she could think of him as being
near her and not as being in the wide,
open streets, stared at by thousands and
thousands Of eyes. Tomorrow he would
be away from her again, but for the night
he was back in the dwelling they had oc-
cupied for more than four years. He was
