ADMIRAL TAYLOR
OUTRANKS BRADFORD

miral Taylor who was a member OF
the board before he became chief of the
Navigation Bureau. He held that he and
Admiral Bradford should preside, has

Rear Admiral Bradfords commission as
rear admiral. dated from December IS,
1901. when he was reappointed chief OF
the Equipment Bureau. and not from
March 2. 1899. the date of his first
appointment as chief of bureau with
the rank of rear admiral while his
own (Taylor's) commission as rear
admiral, was dated February IL, 1901.
Admiral Taylor maintained that on the
expiration of Admiral Bradford's first
term as chief of bureau, he ceased to
be rear admiral, and that his reap
pointment must determine he date Of
his rank.
The two officers decided to lay the
matter before Secretary Long. who
promptly decided in Admiral Bradford's S
favor. holding that bureau chiefs ele-
walton to the rank of rear admiral must
be considered as dating from his first
commission in that rank.
The more recent phase of the matter
was initiated by the designation of Ad-
miral Taylor to act as chairman Of the
general board in the absence of Ad-
m!ral Dewey.
Admiral Bradford maintained that
this was contrary to ;he principal rule
of naval discipline and 70 Secretary
Longs decision. Admiral Taylor who
had succeeded TO the place of chief
OF the Navigation Bureau. contendei

virtue OF the order OF Secretary Longs
creating the general board. which di-
rected that the chief of the Bureau Of
Navigation should be vice chairman.
Principle Wrong
Although readily admitting that there
was no doubt CT this intention on Sec
retary Longs part, Admiral Bradford
asserted that the principle was entirely
wrong. He held that no order # the
Secretary of the Navy could change the
rule of precedence of relative seniority,
which was regarded as inviolable in all
military establishments, and must be
upheld as a necessary measure tor the
of discipline.
Admiral Dewey, however, ruled that
the language of the Secretary Of the
Nays order creating the general board
must determine the question, ond it
was from this ruling that Admiral
Bradford appealed to Secretary Moody
But Mr.. Moody did not decide the
question presented of the right of the
Secretary of the Navy to designate an
officer to preside over his seniors. His
decision, instead. dealt with the matter
Of whether Admiral Taylor or Admiral
Bradford was the senior In rank.
There is little danger that the ssue
raised in the appeal will be brought
before the Navy Department for many
years. as under Mr.. Moody's ruling. as
between Taylor and Bradford. Taylor
will continue to rank next to Dewey on
the general board. by virtue of seniority
over all the other members. Carr will |
be taken that no officer senior to ray-
or is appointed member of the board |

Birthplace of Empress Josephine.

From the New York World.
One traveller writing of st. Pierre, said:
The visitor to the island is reminded
on every corner that the Empress Jo-
sephine was born in Martinique, at
Trois Islets, near Fort de rance. l went
to see both her birthplace and the statue
which Napoleon III. erected to her men,
ory in the public square in Fort de
France; but 1t is no reminder of Jo-
sephine that is uppermost when l think
of Martinique. 1t is one of the most beau
tiful and quiet spots in the world that
presents itself.
Just to the southwark of st. Pierre is
a point Of rocks, half way up of which a
large white cross has been erected. Be-
yond the point of rocks the sea sweeps
inward In a great semi-circle, making a
bay, with another point in the distance.
The shore of this bay Is a broad yellow
beach, smooth as carpet. Where the
beach ends and the grass begins thou
sand cocoanut palms, all giants, stretch
| around the semi-circle. Under the palms
nestle score of little stone houses with
red tiled roofs. In the back yards of these
houses, hundred feet back from the
water. the mountain begins, and goes
up. almost straight up, till its summit
is lost in the clouds. Such a beautiful
nook l fear shall never see again.
Some idea of the formation of the is
land of Martinique may be gained from
the fact that, although it is not quite 45
miles long and only about 10 miles wide,
it has 400 mountains, at least six of which
including Mont Peee, are volcanoes.
Most of the mountains are so heavily
wooded that their ruggedness is hidden
beneath the verdure, but the island is
filled with deep ravines, and in the noun
tains are high precipices, canons and
similar formations. showing the volcanic
formation of the island"

HIS Last Hope Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.)
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping up
on his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became so bad he expected to
die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham.
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and in few minutes the dose was re.
peated. The good effect of the medi.
cine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked complete cure.

The Briquette Plant, built here by
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co, at a ex.
pense of about 80, Oh was fred up two
weeks ago. On Monday they com
menced the manufacture of gas which
will be used for heating purposes, next
week they will commence to turn out
briquettes in the form of three inch
cubes from which certain amount of
coke will be made. The coke made by
this process is of a superior quality
and will be worth six dollars per ton
here. 1t is expected that one hundred
tons of briquettes can be made each
day with force Of thirty men. An un
limited market can be found with the
ocean steamers, one ton of briquettes
being equal in heating power to three
tons of coal. There is a good demand
for the coke in several directions. The
nearest coke oven to Gallup are at
Waldo, on the Santa Fe, and the coal
used there is shipped from Trinidad.
A plant of much larger capacity will
be built here next winter; lump coal
will be crushed and used instead of
