WITH 10000 Filipino children in the
excellent schools of the islands, learning
English, and $4,000 more anxious to be
there, but kept out on account Of lack
of houses and books, it would seem that
the hest use that can be made of mission
airy funds is to supply more books and

ELECTRICITY has delivered another
staggering blow at steam. Power has
been successfully and cheaply delivered
from the California mountains for dis
tance of 200 miles to the gates Of San
Francisco. This means a great deal.
Though there is power enough in Niagara
to turn every wheel in America, it has
so far not been transmitted over 80 miles
In every part of the United States, ex-
cept the Prairie States, there is water
power enough to do all the work, if it can
be properly harnessed. This looks like It
can be harnessed, and the steam engine
got out of use as rapidly as the mule.

IT is TO be hoped that the verdict Of
fine Admirals will reconcile the discord-
ant evidence in regard to the great watch
fulness at Santiago, and the knowledge
that everybody professed as to the Span

as to none of the vessels except the Ore

coupled up, and some of them having part
of their boilers actually empty, and with
the covers of the manholes off. These
things puzzle a layman.

GREAT BRITAIN's course in regard to

either an unusual b8ck-down or 4 touch

and particularly to that of Great Britain,
as the greatest commercial Nation, that
the canal should be dug. The counsel Of
small interests prevailed for awhile in
governing her course, but now larger ones
have had their say. There must be some
inducem9nt 20 any Nation which will do
so great a work. and il should have en-

The appointment OF General Crozier
was made largely upon the recommenda-
ton of Secretary. Root. General Crozier
has demonstrated his ability in nearly
every department of ordnance and has
shown wide knowledge of all affairs
pertaining to his profession. He was the
military member for the United States
at The Hague peace conference, and was
largely instrumental iii bringing about
the agreement finally reached Tor more
humane conduct of war.
General Crozier is a native of Ohio, ard
was appointed to the Military Academy
from Kansas in 1872 When he graduated
in 1876 he entered the artillery and was
transferred to the ordnance department
N 1881. He became 4 captain after four
teen years service in 1896. During the
Spanish War he was appointed a major
and inspector general. During his career
as ordnance officer he has given strictest
attention to guns and gun carriages, and
was a Joint inventor with General Buf-
fington, who retired to-day, of the Buff
fington-Crozier disappearing gun car
riage.
Some difference of opinion exists amorg
army officers as to whether General Gro
zier's appointment IL permanent or
whether it is a detail of four years under
the army reorganization law. The opin-
ion is expressed by General Corbin that
the appointment is permanent. General
Crozier viii not retire until 1919.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 22.-The Juneau
Dispatch of November IA reports that the
steamer Yukon arrived there, bringing
word that Hoonah Indians came aboard
the vessel in Glacier Bay and said they

a boys jacket, a messbox and a jack

SEATTLE, Nov. 22.-The long overdue
steamer Elmore, thirty-five days outsfrom
Nome, will reach port within the next
few days. She is reported as having been
spoken by the steamer Discovery on No

to November IL the Discovery had been
Windbound at Kyak- fierce storm was

cred the blow in good shape.
Some speculation is growing regarding
the nOn-appearance of the schooner John
A Long. also from Nome. None of the
recently returning craft from the north
spoke the vessel south of Dutch HarbOr.
On October 3 the schooner was entering
that port in distress, short of provisions
and water. The vessel had ninety pas
sengers aboard, and while no grave fears
are entertained for her safety it is be-
believed that some discomfort will result
from the long voyage and the storms she
encountered since leaving Dutch HarbOr
within two weeks after November 5.

entire change.

been requested to step down and out by
the chief executive of the State and j. o.

the old regime, will assume the duties Of
the office. The change in the Recorder $
office will be followed by the restoration
to their old places of the one hundred or
more city officials recently removed by
Major Brown.
The upheaval is the result Of a fight
for control of the city government which
has been going on for nearly a year be-
tween the ''Stalwart Republicans and
the old Republican organization under
the leadership of State Senator William
Flynn.
ernor was received by Major Brown last
night, and in the same mail came the
notice to former Director J. o. Brown of
his appointment. The new Recorder s
commission has not yet arrived and he
will hardly take the oath of office before
next Monday, as he cannot qualify until
after the approval of his bond by the
Governor. In the meantime the city will
likely be left without an executive head.

of removal was effective upon receipt OF

Policeman Walter S. Brady was the first
witness called. He on duty near the
Kenmore Hotel on the morning that Ay-
ers' body was discovered and was sum-
moned to the hotel by the proprietor, w.
W. Warfield. He had, under Warfeld's
instructions, forced open the door of Ay-
ers' room. The door was bolted, and not
locked. The witness described the condi-
ton Of the room and of the body. Three
wounds were found upon the body, one
being in the breast. another in the arm
and third in the thigh
The bed looked, Brady said, as if some
one had lain in it and had got up,
one indentation in the pillow. The wit
ness said that pistol and a small single
barreled shotgun lay on trunk in the
room and that the barrel and the cham
bers of the pistol were covered with blood.
The pistol was exhibited to Brady and
identified by him.
There was pool of blood, the witness
said, on the floor. Blood stains were also
on the window sill and Dashboard and
on the rocker. On a table in the room
there were nine cartridges lying loose.
The gas was burning when he entered
the room, but was turned low. The lower
sash of the one window in the room was
up as far as it could go. The string on
the window shade was covered with blood
as if it had been drawn through bloody
fingers.
