bill. yesterday made a canvass of all that
part of Washington lying south of Penn

how many stores were open and in full
blast on Sunday.
This action was taken because the So

the data relative to the number of stores

pressed by Commissioner Ross as to
whether the numbl4 of stores kept open

DUTY OF TIE AMERICAN
NAVY WHILE ABROAD
Comptroller Defines Tin De-
Gliding a Case.

Regarding the duties O fthe American
navy abroad, Mr.. Robert J. TraceweH.
Comptroller OF the Treasury, in a decision
relative TO payment for subsistence OF
Americans received on board the United
States steamship Machias as refugees at
the time of threatened and actual hes
tilities between the liberal and govern
nent forces at Bocas del ToTo, United
States OF Colombia, said:
a principal duty, however. of-the navy
is the protection of the persons and prop
erty Of American citizens abroad. and es-
pecially IS this duty imperative IN places
where the conditions Of civil government
are such as to imperiI the safety OF Amer
lean citizens temporarily residing there
It is the duty of officers of the navy to
extend this protection on all proper oc-
casions. and for this purpose they may
use such means as are usually employed
by naval officers in effecting such pro-
lection. The taking Of such persons on
board their vessels under conditions like
these here represented, seems TO me- to
be a proper method OF discharging their
duty TO protect the lives Of American citi-
zens''
This decision was occasioned by the re-
quest of the Secretary of the Navy for
the ComptroiIer's decision as 10 whether
OF not the former is authorized to pay for
subsistence OF Americans as mentioned

VOLCANOES EFFECT ON
OCEAN CABLE LINES

Recent investigations in the vicinity of
the Martinique and ST. Vincent Islands
have established the fact that the volcanic
disturbances on those islands not only en-
tirely altered the bed of that portion Of
the ocean. but so great has been the sub
marine uphesraI and depression that the
cable lines connecting the group of ISL
ands there with otter parts of the world
have been completely demolished, making
direct communication impossible.
Soundings have shown that in places
where the sea was only about / GOO feet
deep the bottom. has practically fallen
out" It is nos either impossible of be-
ing fathomed or has descended to at least
double its depth On one side of one of
the ISLANDS where the cable formerly
landed a great submarine assure has
opened up. the depth of which has. been
sounded to a distance of 5000 fathoms
without reaching bottom. The cavity is
also Of that width. and IN order to re-
island it viii be necessary to carry the
cable around to the other side, where the
ocean bed is Jess irregular and where q
landing may be effected.
Manager George w RibbIe, Of the Pos
tai Telegraph Company, stated today TO
an Evening Times representative that the
damage done to the cable service in that
portion OF the world is of vast proper
tions. and that the broken lines have not
yet been located to a sufficient extent to
permit of their being repaired. Mr. Rib
BILE said:
The volcano disturbances in the Wind
ward Islands have seriously interfercd
with the cable 1ires in their vicinity. max
ing communication difficult and uncertain,
and, unfortunately, Just at time when
the demand for the best Of service is most
urgent and important. The detailed re-
ports of the disasters which have been
given the public are one more evidence of
the indefatigable energy and ability Of the
moderH press to overcome obstacles
which, to those familiar with the unto
ward conditions. seems most wonderful.
''Of all the islands Of the Lesser An
titles, Martinique has possessed the best
cable facilities. having had three cables
running northwaEd, landing at Dominica,
Guadalupe and San Domingo; while
southwark two cables connected with ST.
Lucia and South America. All Of these
lines are now interrupted, either through
destruction OF the cable buildings and in

changes in the ocean bottom, which have
