TO Be OvERHAULED
Cruiser Philadelphia Goes Out of
Commission at the Puget
Sound Navy Yard

Puget Sound Maynard, Sept. 25.-
Upon orders from the navy department
the colors were hauled down on board
the United States cruiser Philadelphia
during the afternoon, signifving that
the warship is out of commission.
This act is significant, for it is probable
that the cruiser will be in ordinary for
more than a year.
Extensive repairs that will change
the entire appearance of the cruiser
have been ordered. The chief part of
this work is the cutting down of the
decks to the main deck. BY doing this
II is intended that the PHILADELPHIA
Will not stand 50 high above the water.
At the present time her high white
sides are considered too much OF a tar
get for an enemy's fleet.
In addition to this work great
amount of other repairs have been or
dered. While work on the decks is
progressing every single section of rig
ging and machinery will be cleaned
overhauled and renewed wherever
necessary. 1t Is not known how much
time this work will require, hut il is
stated that the vessel will not be back
in commission until after the expira-
ton OF at least fne year. With the
changes completed the Philadelphia
will be in fine fighting trim, for she is
OF modern construction in every partic-
ular except her height ABOVE the water
She has been hauled alongside Pier 3
and work will be commenced immedi-
ately.

FUNSTON ON CANTEENS.
Abolition He Thinks. Has Done
Great Harm in Army.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Brigadier
General Frederick Funston. in his an
nual report for the department OF the
Colorado, points out that the percent
age of trials by courtmartial of enlisted
men has nealry doubled during the past
year. He SAYS:
at i therefore plain that there has
been deplorahe increase of offenses
i'll general and of desertion in partic-
ular. In my opinion there are two
princial causes for this state of affairs:
First. resentment at unaccustomed
limitations and restrictions felt bv most
men returning from field service to the
monotony and routine work OF garrison
life
Second, the abolition OF the canteen
feature OF the post exchange. Since
this action was taken saloons OF the
lowest type have been established along
the boundaries of the various reserva-
tions. their proprietors. in almost ev-
cry case. unprincipled scoundrels, VIII
leave nothing undone to debauch the
soldiers and obtain their money. Be
ing in all cases outside the limits OF the
city. the proprietors of these resorts are
subject to no municipal police recula-
tons and sell liquor regardless of hours
and whether the buyer is intoxicated or
not. Gambling is universal in these
dives, and they are freQuented by dis
solute women.
The soldier whose desire for "a drink
would ordinarily be satisfied bv few
glasses of beer in the canteen Of the
post exchange. goes to one of these re-
sorts and does well If he escapes before
he has spent or gamhlcd away all his
in an alteration.
AS a rule, the local authorities re-
gard the existence of these places with
Indifference or approval, as il causes
the soldier To spend his money in the
community. The efficiency OF the ar
my or the ruin OF good soldier j.
nothing to them.
There can he no reasonable doubt
that most of the trials 10y general courts
martial and summary courts. al least
so far as this department j. concerned
are directly traceahle to this cause.
Since have had command here there
has taken place the ruin and degrade
ton of several non-commssioned Off
GERS OF long service and fine records.
In short, the recent legislation by con-
eress on that question, SO far a. this de-
partment j. concerned. has had no ef-
feet except To lower the discipline Of

SUPPLY DEPOT
GEN. RANDALL RECOMMENDS ONE.
FOR SEATTLE
Sound City Has Many Advantages
over san Francisco---Both Rail
and Ocean Haul Would BE Con-
Sidcrably Shortened---Othcr Rec
concentrations.

Washington, sept. 26.-The neces-
sity OF establishing "A fully equipped de
pot for military supplies at Seattle is
urged upon the war department by Gen
eral George NJ. Randall, commanding
the Department of the Columbia. in
ms annual report, made public vester-
day. II this project should be carried
out 1t would deprive the department
authorities of their principal argument
heretofore used against the shipment OF
troops to the Philippines by way OF Sc
attic as well as by way of san Fran
cisco.
Whenever the departemnt has been
urged to favor the Seattle route on ac-
count OF the shorter distance by rail
from many Eastern points and because
OF the much shorter ocean voyage. the
department has made the excuse that
the san Francisco route is preferred by
reason of the fact that the government
has large depot for supplies at the
California port. General Randall now
urges that depot be established at Sc
attic, similar to the one at San Francis
co lie also recommends that Seattle
be made the home port for TRANSPORTS
engaged in carrying supplies and
troops from the Pacific coast to Alaska.
The report of General Randall gives
a review in detail of the various mil
ltary posts in Washington and Alaska.
recommending. among other things. that
the department headquarters at Van
couver be enlarged and that Fort
Wright. at Spokane, be increased in
size So as to accommodate full regi-
men; instead of Il battalion OF soldiers.
General Randall throws some light
on the heretofore somewhat mysterious
abandonment of the project for build
ing military road from Naldes to Ea-
gle, on the upper Yukon. For the first
time he makes public some extracts
from his report on the subject, made to
the war department in December, 1901.
1t appears that the reason he gave
then was that the great expense OF
building the road was not warranted
ny the military needs of Alasaka. At
the same time, he says, the govern
ment has already expended something
like 5000, 600 on this project.
In his present report the general adds:
see no reason to modify my rec
concentrations of that date. The mil
ltarv needs of the country DO not iust-
~ the eXenditure which would be re-
quired to build wagon highway across
the territory. nor are there any other
reasons To warrant. in my opinion. such
an outlay. The interior is unquestion-
ably rich in copper and gold deposits,
but in going farther than 1t has ST.
ready, the government would, it seems
to me. be departing from its cstab-
lished policy OF the past. I'm the event,
however, OF congress approving such
work, and making the necessary APP
preparation therefor. such appropria-
ton should be included think, in the
sundry civil bill, instead OF being
charged against the army"
