GUAM md IU1UAA
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
Hackett Submits His An.
nual Report.
The Departments Attention
Called to the Status OF
Affairs at Guam.
Lawlessness Of the Marines Is
Condemned..A Naval Re.
serve Urged.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Assistant
submitted his annual report, covering
matters relating to the islands of Guam
and Tutuila, naval militia, naval war
college and number of other subjects
coming under his supervision. Hackett
calls attention to the annual report of
Commander Seaton Schroeder, Cover
nor of Guam, which shows the sum
raised by taxation during the last year
was S53,356, a gain over the proceeding
year of $11,5S5. The money is applied
to the building of roads, repairing
bridges and support of schools.
Schroeder calls the attention Of the de-
partment to the fact that if the SUI
preme court decided that duties may
not be levied upon articles exported
from any state. the loss of income to
Guam will total about $4,000 and he
asks an allotment from the emergency
fund to meet such possibilities. Three
projects of primary Importance to
Guam, says Schroeder, are education,
good roads and a better water supply.
In reference to the recent trouble with
the marines in Guam, Schroeder says
the general feeling of satisfaction with
the new regime is checked somewhat
by the "Detestable spirit of lawlessness
displayed by a part of the marine bat
talon" He intimates that the marine
could be dispensed with entirely in the
island and says the little company of
insular artillery, which forms the con-
stabulary, Is an excellent body of re-
spectful and reliable soldiers with
whose support alone there could be no
hesitation in undertaking the govern
ment of the island" In his report for
the island of Tutuila, Samoa, Com
mander Tilley says u revenue of $500
was raised last year to defray the ex-
penses of the native government from
contributions of copra from various
districts.
Hackett announces that Commander
Uriel Sebree is to assume command
of the naval station at Tutuila in place
of Tilley. Notwithstanding the lack
of interest displayed by some states
having naval militia, Hackett strong
ly urges continuance of the organ
ization, and states that the navy de-
partment stands ready give all pos
sible assistance to the various state
organizations.
Hackett renews his recommendation
of last year as to the need for a naval
reserve national establishment know
ing nothing of state lines and in no
way conflicting with navy militia.

CRY FOR Protection

Some Who Fear Effect Of

Agricultural Implement Men
Say Reciprocity Will Head

Knit Goods Men Picture Dire
Ruin if Pro. ection Is
Taken Off.

Washington, Nov. 20.-At the forenoon
session of the national reciprocity con-
yention today A. b. Valentine, Of BEN
nington, VT, president of the National
Association of Knit Goods Manufactur-
ers, offered the following resolution as
representing the views Of that associa-
tion
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
convention the treaty known as the
French Reciprocity Convention should
not be ratified
1t was referred to committee.
James F. Taylor. Cincinnati tanner.
was the first speaker of the day. He pro-
tested strongly against the attitude of
the ultra protectionists. He said the ex-
listing evils might not be entirely amel
iorated by either tariff revision or
reciprocal trade convention with other
nations, but that each remedy might
work to the advantage of American in
custrial operators If each was confined
to its proper channels.
Titus Sheard, of Little Falls, n. T., de-
clared that reciprocity never did and
never will help this country and the In
terests demanding it. especially the
French reciprocity convention. have no
right nor need to demand it of u.s.
Owen w. Osborn, of Philadelphia,
drew hopeless picture of the American
Knit goods industry in the absence Of
tariff protection.
William C. Barker, of New York, rep
rcsenting the National Association of
Agricultural Implement Manufacturers,
advocated reciprocity. He said that un-
less reciprocity was applied as a safety
valve tariff explosion would follow
that would create general ruin.
The session adjourned at noon, when
the officers of the convention and q COM
mittee of ten proceeded to the white
house and called on the president

THE MORRISON TRIAL.
Grinnell Glove Manufacturer Accused
Of Violation of lmmiaration Laws.

or VIOLATION OF e0Wos
Des Moines, Nov 20.-David S. Morri-
son. of Grinnell, is on trial in the feder-
al court on the charge of violating the
immigration laws by the Importation of
labor. 1t is probable that the case will
be completed today, as nearly all the
evidence for the government was taken
Tuesday. The case is being tried before
the Judge. the defendant having waived
the right of trial by jury. 1t Is probable
that this case will result in a clearer
definition of the immigration laws with
reference to skilled labor. The court
will be asked to determine whether or
not glove cutters come under the head
Of expert labor 1t has been conceded by,
the defense that the two men in ques-
ton can not come under any of the 9TH
er classifications which are admitted.
Both of the men were placed on the
stand by District Attorney Miles Tues
day afternoon. They are from Prague,
Austria, and are unable to speak Eng
lish to any extent, and an interpreter
was required in order to take their tes-
timony. Both of them answered the
a aestions put to them in shrewd man
ner. and Mojor Lacey who is appearing
for the defense, declined to cross-eX-
anime them, stating that he did not see

While the treaty permits the erection

the uselessness of going to such tre-
mendous expense is apparent To officers
of both the army and navy. The great
initial cost would be but the beginning
as it would be necessary to keep the
fortifications in repair and to maintain
large garrisons, which would be subject
to the ills prevalent in Central Ameri-
ca.
Admiral Dewey says the canal can
only be defended by the navy. Rear
Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau
of equipment and a member of the ma
val war board, says emphatically that
in order that the fleet may operate from
near by bases it is necessary that they
should be established without delay.
Rear Admiral Bradford has earnestly
tory for use as coaling stations at the
points named. and the state department
has been conducting negotiations with
the countries in which they lie.
Because of the revolution which has
been in progress in Colombia, there has
been no disposition to press the Bogota
authorities with respect to the cession
of Almirante Bay. The gunboat Ma
chias recently made careful survey.
and her report establishes conclusively
the value OF the harbor. 1t is less than
200 miles from Greytown.
The Danish West Indies are naturally
a desirable point for the defense o. the
Britain. The British navy has an adj
coaling base, we'll protected, in
Kingston, Jamaica, and in case of trou-
bic with the London government the
Danish West Indies would be of COM
paratiyely little value.
The Gulf OF Dulce lies on the west
coast of Costa Rica, and is about $50
miles from Brito. the western terminus
OF the Nicaragua canal. 1t is also an
excellent harbor. The fact that the
ownership of the Gulf of Dulce and AL
mirante Bay is Still In dispute is respon-
sibie for hesitation on the part Of this
government to earnestly press for their
cession.
The Galapagos Islands are off the
coast of Ecuador. and are about 600
miles from Brito. Opposition developed
in Ecuador to their cession. but a new
government is now in power, and the
authorities believe there Is now a bet
ter chance of securing all, or at least
one of the islands

The state board of health and medi-

Judge Fee. of the southern tier of
counties, was in the city last evening.
Judge Fe has recently disposed of the
somewhat famous conspiracy cases in
Appanoose county. These are the cases
in which Sheriff Clinic. Constable
Smith and Squire Henderson were in
dicted for conspiracy to defraud by an
elaborate system of making fees. II
was alleged that they would cause the
arrest of tramp, send him to Jail, turn
him loose and repeat the operation un-
der another name or in some such way
pad their fees to an enormous extent.
Pending the trial the court removed
Sheriff Clinic and appointed another.
Now Judge Fee has held that the acts
set up in the Indictment do. not consti-
tute the crime for which they were in
dicted. They might be Indicted for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
but 1t is not conspiracy to defraud. 1t
is expected the matter will be presented
to the grand jury again.

Queer Error Closes Bank.

Tacoma, WASH. Nov. 20.-The Metro-
politan bank Of this city failed to open
for business yesterday after Withstand
ing a run of two days. caused by a
misaprehension concerning a suit filed
Saturday asking receiver for the Met
ropolian Savings bank, which went in
to liquidation in 1898. The similarity of
name caused many depositors to sus-
pect that the case involved the Metros
politan bank. The institution has a
capital of $50,000 and assets of nearly
half a million. The liquidation Of the
Metropolitan Savings bank was caused
by the withdrawal by George Wander
