1t is not possible to improve navy
after war breaks out. The ships must
be built and the men trained long IN
advance.
While awarding the fullest honor 10
the men who actually commanded and
manned the ships which destroyed the
Spanish sea forces in the Philippines
and in Cuba, We must not forget that
an equal need Of praise belongs to
those without whom neither blow coaid
have been struck.
The Naval Militia forces are StaIe
organizations, and are trained for coast
service. and in event OF war they Will
constitute the inner line OF deien5e.
They should receive hearty encourage
meat from the General Government.
But in addition We should at on"e
provide for a National Naval Reserve
organized and trained under the i.!rec-
ton OF the Navy Department, and sub
iect to the call OF the Ch!Ei Executive
whenever war becomes imminent. Il
should be real auxiliary TO the naval
s. going peace establishment, and oiIar
material to be drawn on at once fer
manning our ships in time OF war. 1t
should be composed o! graduates Of the
Naval Academy, graduates of the Ma
val Militia, officers and crews Of roast
line steamers. lcr2saore schoonerS
fishing vessels, and steam yachts, TO-
gether with the coast population about
such centers as life-saving stations and
lighthouses.
The American people must either
build and maintain an adequate navy
or else make up their minds definitely
to accept a secondary position in inien-
national affairs. not merely in political,
but in commercial, matters. It has been
we'll sid that there is no surer way OF

New York, Aug. 14.--A fight which
resulted in the stabbing OF two men
occurred in front of the. Gilsey House
It an early hour. The police can give
very little information about the row
or what led up to it, and no arrests
were made. From what could be
learned at the hotel three men, said
to be Boston politicians, and whose
names the police gave as Joseph a..
Conry, Patrick Bowen and Joseph ].
Norton, started the fight. The wall
paper manufacturers convention is
being held at the Gilsey House and a
humber of the delegates were stand
Ing in front of the doorway when the
three men crossed Broadway to enter
the hotel. Conry, it is asserted, had
some words with some of the paper
men and in a moment a lively fight
was in progress. William F. Francis,
also said to be a wall paper manufac-
turer, was attracted to the scene from
a neighboring restaurant, and went to
the assistance of his friends. Conry
received a stab wound in the back
and Francis was wounded in the thigh.
The wounds of the injured men were
dressed and they say they will make
no complaint, even if the police sue
ceed in finding the man who did the
Etabbing. It is said that one of the
Boston men was a congressman, an
other an alderman and the third a
state senator.

Chicago Bank the Victim of Clever
Deposition.
Chicago, Aug. 14.-It leaked out
here during the day, says The Inter
Ocean, that one of the Chicago banks
was recently victimized out of $780,
900 in cash in skilful manner. An
effort is being made to keep the mat
ter secret and not even the name of
the bank is given. It seems that a de-
positor of several years standing ap-
peared a few days ago in the bank
presidents office with draft on Lon
don for $4,000, which was perfectly
good. The depositor informed the
president he desired to deposit this
London draft and at the same time to
check against it, presenting his check
for 100000 for the president to o. K.
The latter put his initials on it and
thought nothing Of it. The depositor
then went out into the bank and de-
posted his London draft and on the
following day presented a check for
100000, which was paid, the teller
knowing that amount was to his credit
on the books. Later in the day he
again appeared at the window and pre-
sented the check for $4,000, which
had been initialled by the president
This check was also paid. Nothing
more has since been seen of the de-

Washington, Aug. 14.-Mr. Herran
the Colombian charge d'afaires at
Washington, has received a letter
from the Colombian consul general at
New York stating that the latter has
just received a cablegram from the
acting governor of, Panama saying
that the guerrilla bands thereabouts
are causing no uneasiness. The gov
ernor, according to recent advices, has
gone to Cartagena for soldiers and
supplies. Mr.. Herran's official mail
from Colombia, which reached him
during the day, gave no information
on the situation in South America.
In the absence of official advices the
only construction which the Colombian
legation can place upon the with.
drawal Of Nhe Colombian minister,
Senor Rico, and his legation staff, re-.
ported from Caracas, is that, having
found his position in the Venezuelan
capital unendurable, perhaps threat
ened by mob, violence, he has left for
the Colombian capital, where he can
better cooperate with the officials
than through the medium of telegraph
ic or mail correspondence.
