MOVEMENT TO
DANISH LADRONES.
Governor Taft Promises a Vag-
rancy Bill For Cavite,
Manila.

MANILA, Oct 23.-Governor Taft
discussed the suppression of ladronism
in Cavite at conference held there
with the presidentes of twenty-five
towns of Cavite province. He told the
assembled presidentes that they and
the suppression and punishment Of
crime. The presidentes promised to or
ganize volunteers for this purpose in
each town. They asked Governor Taft
to secure the passage of vagrancy act
that would reach ladrones and disso-
lutte Americans and foreigners.
Many discharged soldiers and other
foreigners make their homes with the
natives, and the influence of these men
is often bad. The government has been
asked to secure the deportation of such
persons, but up to the present time it
has had no means of dealing with
them. Governor Taft promised the
presidentes to draw up vagrancy bill
covering these conditions.
General Davis has issued general
order drawing attention to the careless
ness of officers and men of the army
in the matters of dress and discipline
and characterizing the neglect in these
respects as extraordinary The order
also refers specifically to the careless
ness in making reports and drawing up
other records and directs commanding
officers to insist upon reform in these
matters.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Owing to
the objections made in the past to the
sale of the sloop Of war Vermont and
other condemned vessels which fig

rotary Moody and Assistant Secretary
Darling have reconsidered the plan OF
selling the monitors Nahant, Lehigh,
Montauk Canonicus and Jason, at the
League Island navy yard, until after
congress shall have had an opportun1-
ty to make special provision to that
end. These vessels have been con-
demned as useless for naval purposes.

cruising for many years past has been

A New City Building.


Every once in while an article
fe published which announces that
there is talk of the erection Of u
new City Hall. The talk does not
seem to get anywhere and the pro
ject slumbers until temporarily re-
vived. And SO it has been for years.
With the city growing, not nece5-
sarily by leaps and bounds, but
growing, the project for Il new City
Hall is one that now merits tue
careful attention of our citizens.
The affairs of city constitute u
business that should he conducted
as other businesses i'll a buSlnessllke
way. 1t is rule of mercantile es-
Establishments to concentrate their
various departments in one plant,
for ease of administration. Such
an arrangement would be good for
a city, and especially tor city gov
erned as Wilmington is, by various
commissions who do not always
pull together. We're they all in
one building, there might be less
friction than now arises. But per
haps by the time we get the new
City Hall-fOr III the nature Of
things, we must eventually have
one-we shall not be governed by
commissions, but shall have new
city charter, wherein the govern
ment shall be vested in a mayor and
City Council elected by the people,
and wherein all the departments
shall be harmonious parts Oh the
city administration.
The present City Hall has seen
many years of service AMI may well
be preserved as Il relic and as such
left in the care Of the Historical so
ciety of Delaware. A good location
for the new City Hail would be III
the block bounded by Ninth, Tenth
Shipley and Orange streets. Let
the city arrange to take that whole
block and put a City Hall on part Of
it, leaving the rest open. Thel
