RANK OF NAVAL OFFICERS.


Dewey I!oadn the LIat-Schlcy No ) and
SmmpaOn No. on tho Llst Senior
Rear Admlrnln.
Washington, April l.--Of special
interest to officers of tho navy is an
ordcr issued today by Secretary Long
announcing their relative positions
on tho Naval Rcgistor. Tho order
was necessary because Of tho pro.
vision in tho last naval appropriation
law directing that tho advancement
of officers of the navy and murino
corps for service rendered during the
war with Spain should not intorforo
with tho regular promotion Of officers
otherwise entitled to promotion. The
department has interpreted tho law
to mean that IN officer who has been
advanced by numbers for services
rendered during the war with Spain
is not to be regarded rs additional to
tho number allowed by lav Il. his
grade until he is promoted to high
er grade than tho ono in wi lch ho
was when he received advancement.
Tho department holds that The nur-
poso Of the law il not to hasten the
promotion of officers advanced for
war service, but to prevent Hnch ad-
vancemcnts from interfering with tho
promotion Of othcrs.
Tho special order shows that sixty
Sin officers Of the navy and ivo Off
cors of tho marine corps woro re.
warded for gallantry displayed
during and since tho war with Spain.
OF the naval officers, throo arc Roar
Admirals, olovon captains, twonty
commanders, ton lieutenant comman
doris, thlrtoon lioutenants, SIX liouton-
ants juniors grade and throo onsigns.
Tho marino corps officers rewarded
include ono liontenunt colonel, ono
major and three captains.
Although so many officers wcro
advanced, under the departments
ruling that an officer only becomes
an additional when promoted to Il
higher grade than tho ono in in which
no was when he received advance
mcnt, thore arc comparatively fow
additionals. Thoy include three roar
admirals, Il. }. Iigginson, II. ID.
Evans and II. G. Taylor, throo cap
tains, ASA Walker, G. G. Todd and
w. j. Swinburno; two commanders,
w. j. Bayloy and II. II. Merritt; two
lieutenant commanders, II. Mel. p.
IIuso and G.. W. MclIlroy, and throo
lieutenants, II. Il. IIaydon, (roap-
pointed on tho active list by special
act Of Congross), II. ii. Ward and

marino corps, Liout. Col. &. d.
Elliott, is designated as an nddi-
tional.
Admiral Dewey, by tho order, is
the ranking officer Of tho navy. John
Adams Howell is tho senior roar ad-
miral; W. S. Schloy is No. S and

He wouldn't Interfere.

An old Scotchman went to stay for
short time, as he said, with friends
of his, young couple with no family.
After living with them for some two
or three weeks the young couple began
to get tired of their visitor, but did
not like to tall him the state of their
feelings toward him, so they arranged
little plan between them as to how
they would get rid Of him.
Tomorrow" said the husband,
when l come home for dinner, l shall
quarrel about the soup and say 1t is
not good. In the midst of our quarrel
we will appeal to our friend, and If he
takes your part l will give him notice
to leave the house, and II he takes my
part you do just the same"
Next day at dinner the quarrel"
arose about the soup, and In the heat
OF the argument uncle" was appealed
to, but he coolly replied:

Further Fighting.

Lord Kitchener, in a despatch
from johannesburg, dated Saturday,
December 81, sends reports of sharp
fighting IN the Orange river and Trans
vaal colonies. The engagements occur
red December Is, 10 and 20 at points
widely apart. The casualties, so far as
known, aggregate about $50, equally di
vided but heavy British losses, the totals
of which have not yet been reported,
have occurred in the Transvaal.
Lord Kitchener also reports that dur
ing Gen. DeWet's attack on the British
force commanded by Generals Dartnell
aud Campbell at Langberg, December
Is, the Beers charged bravely and fought
desperately for several hours. DeWet
WAS driven off with the loss of twenty
plen. There were twelve casualties on
the side Of the British.
On December 10, Botha with eight
hundred Beers, surprised Col. Damanrs
advance guard AZ Tafelkop, Orange
River Colony. The Beers rushed a
kopje commanding the main body and
guns, hut Damant rallied his men and
drove the Beers from the kopje. The
British casualties were heavy.
Later the Beers under flag of truce,
asked permission TO remove their dead.
They admitted having buried twenty
seven men.
In the eastern part of the Transvaal
colony, Colonel Macknie attacked Com
mandant Smiths force Of Beers at Lake
Banagher. December 20, and killed six
and captured sixteen of the enemy.
Commandant Smith escaped.

We are upon the threshold of the new
year. We know what the past year has
been to ourselves, and in a measure to
our neighbors, our town, state, nation
and the world at large. In our country
it has been year of important events,
increased business activity, abundant
crops with the exception of few sta
pies, and general prosperity. There
have been strikes, lockouts and long
continued disturbance in some lines of
manufacture, particularly that of steel.
These have not effected disastrously the
general employment of labor but have
advanced the prices of many products
considerably. Wages have been main
tanned and generally advanced. In this
part of the country wages have been
higher and the call for men greater than
for many years. This is the case par
ticularly in the lumber business. Our
country has not been ravaged with any
pestilence or wide spread disaster.
Peace has prevailed and law and order
observed, generally, beyond that of most
other countries. What 1902 has In store
for us we know not. 1t Is the part of
wisdom to hope for the best and be pre-
pared for emergencies.
