GREAT BRITAIN's NAVY.
The Coronation Review a Pitiful
Spectacle for a Great Nation.

L hC SOIOLdlIOA AkSNlSW q lulu
Spectacle for Great Nation.
New York Press.
If half what is said about the British
navy be true, the brave show of one hun
dred and odd ships lined up off Splthead
WAS but hollow mOckery of the vain
boast that britannia rules the wave.
That the coronation review of the fleet
by King Edward should be made the oc-
casion for chorus of well-advised con-
demnation of the admiralty must be in
tensely humiliating to that part of the
English people which is always serenely
impervious to warnings from friend o.
foe. But those who tell themselves and
their neghbors the truth. like , Lord
Charles Beresford, who knew that their
whole navy is rotten. will not feel much
encouraged by the spirit in which the adj
miralty takes its indictment,
Mr.. William Laird Cloves says no more
than the other naval experts all over
the Notwithstanding a very few in Eng
fleet into the category of IAN exhibition
of flags, paint and gliding, and the ma
jority might as well be built of card
board, as they are dummies too feeble to
fight and too slow to rtlp away" For
years the critics of all countries have
told of the obsolete guns the insufficient
metal discharge from both broadsde and
fore-and-aft armament, the defective
boilers. the lack of electric and other up
to-date hosting and steering apparatus,
detective armor plate, insufficient victual
ing, vastly incomplete personnel, wretch
ed discipline. and neglected target prac-
tice, resulting pitifulIy for the man be-
hind the gun and the slothful nation
whose placid faith in his ability to pre-
serve it's naval tradition would be SO
cruelty misplaced in case Of hOstilties.
The admiralty's anologists. whose ex-
cuse merits the doubtful compliment that
it is better than none, emphasizes the
fact that in the immense fleet gathered
al Spithead was no vessel from any for
eign nation and no reserve ship. Yet all
the expert accounts agree that the fight
ing strength Of the battle line there would
not be formidable to even a third-rate
power possessing up-to-date armor- clads.
The most terrifying thing about such YES
sells as the Thunderer. Devastation and
Dreadnaught seems to be their names.
The coronation review was a pitiful spec
tacle for a great nation to make.

came a comparatively small part or the
astronomers routine work. In the mean
while so many tiny planets had been
discovered by the investigators that the
charts came to be filled with what were
known as Astronomical nuisances, SO
prolific had been the unimportant discoV-
cries. In the long years preceding the
use of Photographic plates IL was Ohly
due to the industry and patience OF Ger
man scientists that the sky maps were
kept up to date.
Until 1898 as far as the telescope men
knew Mars came nearer to earth than
any other planet, but 1t was soon learned
that Eros, with a less average distance
than Mars from the sun. reached point
little more than one-third of the distance
from earth to Mars. The new body was
utterly different from all the others. none
of which approached even moderately
near this world of ours.
When Herr Witt saw Eros he had been
looking for a certain comet. On examin-
ing his plate he saw the trace Of new
planet that travelled very rapidly: 80
fast did it traverse its orbit that the lit
tie trail left on the plate assumed
more extended length than the rehectlon
of any other planet had ever produced
during an exposure of the same lenstn
of time.
The discoverer began at once to take
more pictures, and before long he had
calculated the new orbit. Eros was founo
to be travelling a course that came 49,
100000 miles within the mean distance .,
Mars. whose path had hitherto formed
boundary line beyond which the minor
planets transgressed very seldom.
Why was Eros of such interest to the
astronomers? Not because they hopeo
to see Its surface plainly or to commpni,
cate with it's inhabitants, for it was found
to he only about twenty miles In dame
ter which would certainly indicate
lack Of inhabitants. The interest in the
new discovery was due to the expectation
that 1t would enable the scienusts 10

Inflamed the Jurors Minds.

In court on Wednesday, Judge Ferris
ordered the withdrawal of the jurors
from two important cases. One case
was suit for $4,000 damages, for
Injuries sustained by Mrs. Clarke, while
riding on a train OF the Lehigh Valley
Company which was wrecked at Pond
Creek In July, 1896. The other was
that Of Henry Ziegler VS.. the Wilkes
barre and Eastern Railroad, in which
the plaintiff claims that the railroad
company has appropriated valuable coal
lands belonging to him.
Counsel for the railroad companies
raised the points In both cases that the
lawyers for the plaintiffs had used i'm
proper language In addressing the jury,
and that their remarks had tendency
to in6ame and prejudice the minds of
the jurors.
Judge Ferris took this view, and the
jurors were withdrawn, and the cases
continued. Several Freeland people
were present In court t, testify in the
Clarke case.

Army Deserter Arrested.

John Rhoda, an Upper Lehigh young
man, was arrested yesterday at his
home In that town by Officer John
Molik, charged with desertion from the
United States army. Rhoda was
brought to Freeland and placed In the
borough lookup, and later was taken by
Officer Molik to Fort Dupont, Del 1t is
alleged that Rhoda enlisted in the artil-
lery branch of the service at Pottsville
last May, and that In July, two months
later, he deserted his company, which is
stationed at Fort Dupont.
Officer Molik had been waiting for
the past two weeks for an opportunity
to capture the young man, but did not
get it until yesterday. He will receive
the usual reward of $50 and expenses
from the government for making the
arrest and return of the deserter.

When an experienced physician offers

worthy of serious consideration.
That Dr. Miles is one of the worlds
most successful physicians is proven by

CONVENTION CALL UNANIMOUS.
At the meeting of the district execu-
tive boards yesterday it is said that
there was some criticism of the plan Of
settlement by few Of the members who
desired to insist that the union stand
out for recognition.
Mltchel's reply was In effect that he
recommended the call Of q convention
OF miners to consider the proposition as
speedily as possible on these grounds:
/. That the consent of the operators
to arbitrate was victory.
2. That the union would, and, as a
matter OF fact had already been, recog-
nized by the president Of the United
States in sending for its officials aud
submitting to them the plan of the op-
orators.
8. That the operators owed it to hu
manity to make some concessions toward
settling the strike as soon as possible.
4. That the rights OF the mine work
ers, union and non-union alike, would
be respected, In accordance with the
wishes of President Roosevelt.
Mitchell said that he had done every
thing In his power to gain all the con-
cessions demanded by the mine workers,
aud asked If there was any dissatisfac-
tion, intimating II there was, his will
ingness to step aside and permit any
other man to take up the work.
This declaration, automatically veil
ed, was rejected at once, and although
there was considerable discussion over
various points In the arbitration scheme,
when the project of calling the conven-
tion was put to vote 1t was carried
unanimously.
The convention will last at least two
days and work will not be resumed be-
fore Thursday.
FREELAND PEOPLE HAPPY.
When the news reached town yester-
day morning that the representatives OF
the operators had agreed to the changes
In their proposition suggested by Mr..
Mitchell, and that the president had
named his commissioners, there was
general rejoicing among all classes.
When the mine workers learned the
commissioners names they were exceed
ingy we'll pleased and scarcely one
could be found who did not feel that
they have won substantial victory.
They viewed it in the light that the
Shamokin convention, at which the
demands were formulated, asked for
arbitration II the operators did not feel
disposed to grant increased wages,
shorter hours, etc, and this has now
been secured after hearing for five
months that there is nothing to arbi
trate."
Among business and professional
people, and workers in other lines, tho
prospects Of an early resumption of
work, with probabilities Of better condi-
tions for the mine workers as result OF
the commissions report, was joyful
news, and widespread feeling that
bright days are coming again was mani
tested by the conversation and actions
of all who haye been affected by the
strike.
