the mine was constantly flowing from
the face of the openings made. This
was held in check by air dams placed
n few feet in advance of the workmen
to prevent diffusion of the gas and air.
Therefore. there could be no dangerous
mixture except at this point Of contact
and under the eye of the workman.

a little over two months to thoroughly

been expected. The next step was to
remove the balance of the water in the
shaft. This was accomplished early in
August ana the method previously de-

The exact location of the fire could not

RESTORE COMMODORE"

Secretary Long recommends that the
title ''Midshipman' be restored. instead
of Naval Cadet" and urges historical
associations. among other reasons. We
wish he had gone much further, and urged
the restoration of Commodore" instead
Of the present overplus OF Rear-Admirals.
Commodore is peculiarly American,
though, like most military and naval titles,
it came from Italian and Spanish sources.
But it has been American sailors who
have made the title lustrous. The eI-
pioits of the two POrters, the two Perrys,
Bainbridge, Decatur. Truxtun, Barry. Far.
ragut, Dewey, etc, who were all COmmo.
dores, made the most glorious associa.
tions with the title. An American Com
modore meant much more to the mind
than the Admiral Of any other service.
The last change which made IS Rear

Major-General. and nine to rank with
Brigadier-Generals. was absurd and con-
fusing. 1t was solely intended to crafty
the immediate vanity of certain officers, in
being able to style themselves Admirals,
"Rear-Admirals," has a very indefinite and
perplexing meaning to the average mind,
while the multiplicity of them has greatly
cheapened the rank. 1t is as bad as
General" where every man is a General
who has at any time commanded more
than one regiment. His title is the same
as that Of the man who at one time COM
manded 1000 regiments. One always
thinks of Commodore as having done some
great thing: bearded the Barbary pirates
in their strongholds. fought a splendid
though losing battle in Valparaiso har-
Dor. destroyed a British fleet on Lake
Erie, opened up communications with
Japan. dashed with superb courage
through the fire-rafts and cannon-tre be-
low New Orleans smashed a Spanish fleet
in Manila Bay. etc, etc. But a Rear
Admiral has never done anything particu-
lar in our history, and need not have done
more than live to be 81, when
he is entitled to retire with that rank.
Let us have back the glorious old title
of Commodore"

SECRETARY HAY and Lord PauncefOte
have signed the new treaty with Great
Britain Its exact terms will be kept Sc
cret until presented 10 the Senate, but it
is generally believed that they are as ac-
ceptable as at first given out. Great
Britain withdraws from all claim of joint
guardianship of the canal, and leaves the
United States free hand, only stipulat-
ing that the vessels Of all nations shall
pass through at the same tolls as Amer
lean vessels. In the meanwhile the 18th
mian Commission has decided to recon-
mend the Nicaraguan route, by which the
canal can be constructed for 20 per cent.
of the Panama route.

THE British are learning. very slowly.
what we learned quite early in our war,
and that is that cannon which shoot from
four to 10 miles have their uses, but their
uses are quite limited, and they are much
more Of a disappointment than anything
else in field operations. 4 cannon re-
quires from six horses upward 10 manuyer
il, and a complement of mules to bring up
ammunition. 1t requires good roads and
strong bridges. Its horses and mules are
raYenous deyOurers of forage, which re-
quires more mules to bring along. And it
really is little terror TO men who can take
advantage Of every uneyenness of the
ground for shelter. Cannon ceased to be
the arbiters of battles when the old forma-
tions in mass We're abandoned The real
aTbiters Of battles are men with rifles who
know how to use them. The British are
consequently storing their cannon in the
rear and we hear no more of the terri
bic effects of the lyddite Shells which
formed so large a part of the early re-
parts from South Africa.

CAPT. John H. Parker, 2Sth l. s.,
makes powerful argument for immediate
obligatory use Of English everywhere in
public proceedings and documents in the
Philippines. He says that less than 10
per cent. Of the people understand and
use Spanish, and not half Of these have
any real education in it. The Tagalog,
which is spoken and written by one tribe
is an undeveloped language, which only
a small minority of the people use, while
the majority have strong antipathy to
it and the people who use it. Another
language is a necessity for free communi-
cation with all parts of the archipelago,
such as will follow peace and civilization
Therefore, it had better be English, and
be done with the problem.

no one ever wants to 60 such a terrific

is mainly interesting as to the capability
of the machines, and the excellence of
their workmanship. Until our roads get

The full story of the massacre of Co.
C, 9th U. s. on the Island of Samar.
shows that no blame can attach to the
officers or men. The Prcsidcnte of the
village had engaged TO get number Of
laborers to cut brush. He came in with
them. while the company was at break
fast, and no suspicion was excited, be-
cause they were armed with boloes, the
ordinary tool for such work. The Presi-
dente gave the signal for the attack. and
number of soldiers We're instantly cut
down. The rest fought desperately, with
anything they could lay their hands on. It
is pleasant to record that Sergeant Sc
cured his rifle and succeeded i'll killing the
traitorous Presidente and a number of his
assistants. Though only few of the
Americans could reach their arms. ud
most of them had nothing more than tAeir
table furnishings to fight with. they sue
cecded in killing at least 100 Of t'i' rc'cls,-

There were the enormous number of
issued, of which the Commissioner says
satirically, more than 100000 were un-
productive" That is, there were 10000
reflections, mainly on medical grounds In
nine months there was spent for medical
examinations S661 .G54.5S.
There We're employed during the year
19S Special Examiners, whose expenses
outside Of their salaries-were $312,-
245.77.
The Commissioner admits that nearly
all the pensions granted are now under
the Act of June u, 1890.
The average annual value of this class
of pensions has been reduced by him to
$10sO9.
Therefore:
All this vociferous cIamor about
wicked Frauds" vicious pension
sharks Treasury looters," etc, etc.
All this pretense of heroic struggles
with bad and desperate men 10 save the
public money;
All this turning and twisting Of the
laws TO defeat claims:
All this elaborate and costly circumlo-
cution by the great Pension Bureau;
All this incessant self-adveriisement of
the Commissioner of Pensions:
All this expenditure Of more thu
$S00,000 year in medical examinations:
All this expenditure of more than
100000 j year for Special Examiners;
Resolve themselves solely and simply
into 50 many elaborate devices to keep
men who had an average service Of more
than two wears, who can show an hon
orable discharge from that service, and
who now average past so years, from re.

AFTER all, Chinese assassins do not
seem to be well onto their job. In spite
of being a shining mark for them, Ii
Hung Chang lived to be rs years old, and
then died from an acute attack OF "hot-

would seem 20 be that a hot temper is
more dangerous than sn assassin, and gets
worse as man gets older.
