At the time when Oregon was ad

was at the time probably the only one
of its sort west of the Mississippi, he
studied diligently, and by the time OF

rules of debate. At the first meeting
of the new legislature a motion was
introduced and speedily carried. but
on the second measure a dispute arose
and for three days the state legislators
wrangled and debated.

THE COMING MANEUvERs.
Details Regarding the Projected
OPERATIONS.

Rear Admiral Taylor Is able to furnish
some details of the projected naval maneu-
vers, to take place Carly in December In
the nefghborhood Of CuIebra Island. To
begin with, the Golfers Leonidas. Lebanon
and Brutus will leave Hampton Roads No
vember 1 for the rendezvous near Cuebra
Island The Olympia will escort them or
will follow very closely, her work being to
prepare safe anchorages for the numerous
fleets which is to gather from three naval
stations She win place large buoys and
anchorage tackle and mark out the chan
nels. Her commander will also look after
the big marine detachment which Is to be
landed on the island and generally make
all possible preparations for the gathering
of the big feet. The naval tugs Fortune
and Leyden will be assigned to assist in
this work, and the Bancroft, which is to
be placed at San Juan as station ship for
Captain Dunlap, will be used wherever nee
essary. The converted yacht Wasp is as
signed to duty as tender to the hagships,
and six big coal barges to be sent out
from Norfolk and two from Pensacola. The
European and South American squadrons
are ordered to rendezvous in the Gulf Of
Paria, on the north coast of Venezuela, No
Vember %
This will bring together the two rear ad-
mirals, Sumner and Crownnshield, and as
the former is the senior he will take COM
mand of the joint force. The combined
squadrons will then, early in December,
engage in search problem, similar in
plan to that undertaken last summer off
the New England coast, but in this case
the work will be on far larger and more
important scale, owing to the large num-
Der of ships engaged and their high class.
The exact details of the problem are not
yet fixed. .-.- %
Upon the conclusion Of this work. In
which Admiral -Higginson's North Atlantic
fleet will be pitted against the combined
foreign fleets, all Of the ships will gather
under Admiral Dewey's flag in the anchor
age on the south side Of Culebra Island,
the smaller craft finding shelter inside
Great Harbor, and then VIII follow large
fleet drills and maneuvers on, lines yet to
be announced.

OBLIGED TO TESTIFY.
Attorney Generals Opinion Regard
ing Licensed Officers.

Attorney General Knox has rendered an
opinion on the question whether licensed
officers Of steam vessels are compelled to
testify in certain cases on penalty of revo-
cation Of license. The questions upon
which the opinion was sought are as fol-
lows:
First. When licensed officer (of steam
vesselsl is duly summoned to give testi-
mOny before the local board Of the steam
boat inspection service, in a hearing, and
refuses to answer questions which are in
the opinion of the board material and
proper, has the board authority to compel
answer under penalty of suspension or rev.
ocation of the witness certificate of license
or otherwise?
Second Has licensed officer who is
charged with violating section 4449 Revised
Statutes, and Is on hearing before the board
on such charge the right to refuse to an
swer a question material to the inquiry, on
the ground that his answer may subject
him to the penalty OF section 4449?''
The Attorney General holds that para
mount considerations of the good of the
service require that licensed officer shall
not be permitted to withhold any informa-
ton material to an inquiry affecting the
service and yet remain a member of that
service. The second question is answered
in the negative.
The cases in point were those of striking
union tugmen serving on the great lakes
last year. 1t was alleged that one of the
rules of the union to which they belonged
prohibited their serving with non-union
men. The matter was brought before the
local board of government Inspectors The
strikers refused to answer quest ons asked
by the inspectors, on the ground that their
answers might subject them to revocation
of their license or other penalties.

ers Is ntenable.
