MAINE MARINE FORCE
BEST IN THE SERVICE
Men Picked From Among
the Physically Perfect.

Naval men are interested in the
marine detachment Of sixty men ordered
to leave here Monday morning for duty
on the battleship Maine, which will 60
into commission on that date.
The guard is said to be the best ever
picked for a similar service 1t will be
under the command Of Capt Dion VIII
Hams. Only volunteers were taken and
these were selected from among the
physically perfect
Twenty Of the men selected for this
service were taken from The battalion
which returned two weeks ago from
Panama, and the others were among
those on guard duty az the Charleston
and Buffalo Expositions- The Panama
battalion was from Washington bar
racks and was commanded by Lieut. Col.
B. r. Russell. now In command OF the
marine barracks.
Captain Williams was In Panama
guarding the railroad against damage in
the recent revolution. He was relieved
from duty before the return Of his men
on account OF his assignment to the
Maine and the necessity Of selecting the
guard for that service. He praises the
conduct Of the Panama battalion. saying
that 81 was notably effective when the
climatic conditions were taken into con
sideration. The service there continued
about ten weeks Two men were lost in
that time on account Of yellow fever and
about sixty came home suffering with
malaria.
Duty on board the Maine was much
sought by the men at the barracks.
The ship is not only numbered among
the best in the service. but there IS a
reverence for the name among the na-
val men. Usually when a ship meets
with disaster there is a superstition
among men Of the sea that any vessel
subsequently given that name Will be
unlucky, but not so with the name
Maine" The prompt manner in which
this Government avenged the destruc-
tion Of the battleship in Havana harbor
is thought TO have removed the hoo
doc"
Captain Williams served three years
in the Philippines, and has been at
tached TO nearly every post in the
United States.

easIons employed his method With sue
cess.
In this operation the patient lies on his
back and the operator grasps his ankle
with one hand and his leg at the knee
with the other lie then bends the leg
up over the body, pressing it as close to
the body as possible. The knee is next
bent sidewise over the sound hip. after
which IL is brought back with a sweep
ing outward rotary mnlion and drawn
straight. This almost Invariably results
in the head Of the femur slipping into
the socket with a characteristic sound
that is plainly audible.
Dr. Mott Moore. in speaking Of the
method, said "Dr. Reid and my father
Dr. E NJ Moore. were associated in their
Investigations when they were young
men. Father took great deal OF inter-
est in the discovery of DIT. Reid and
avaiIed himself OF every opportunity Of
noting its success. He found. however.
that DR.. Reid's method when followed
out exactly, sometimes resulted in pro-
ducing a dislocation Of a different na-
ture from the original one. instead Of re-
placing the femur in the socket. He cor
rected this. and in this slight particular
improved on the Reid method"
The change made by DR.. E. NJ. Moore,
rs described by Dr.. Mott Moore. consist
ed In placing the hand beneath the knee
instead OF only pressing It against the
body after Il has been raised by the
hand at the ankle. as is the case when
the hand is placed over the knee-pan-

Need for Stable Monetary
System Felt by Members
in Both Houses of Con-
gresS-MeaSure Now in
Committee.
Bill Fixes Gold Standard,
But Democrats Will Prob
ably Step Forward With a
Substitute.

Next to the tariff question. the most
important matter affecting the Philip
pines which Congress is called upon to
consider at this session is the one o,
coinage for the islands. The present
monetary system, or rather lack OF sys-
TEN, in the archipelago is a serious han
dicap to the proper conduct Of business
The circulating medium Of the islands
now. as it has long been. is the Mexican
currency. but owing to the recent heavy
decline in silver the money market IS
subject to great fluctuations and varia-
tions. and both Democrats and Republi-
cans in Congress appreciate the fact that
something must be done 10 establish a
stable currency.
In the general Philippine civil govern
ment bill which was enat ted at the las,
session OF Congress the provision for q
monetary standard for the islands was
omitted because the Senate and House
we're unable TO agree. The bill. as il
passed the Senate, contained section
placing the Islands upon a silver basis
The House struck out this provision, and
inserted one establishing the gold stand
ard with the gold dollar as the unit. the
same as in the United States. and fur
ther providing for a subsidiary coinage
The conferees could not adjust the diff
ference. both houses declining to yield

OFFICER SUSPECTED
Lieutenant Who Rose From
Ranks Disappears.

DENVER. Dec. 27.-second Lieut.. viii
liam N. Kistler. Of n Company Eigh-
teenth United States Infantry. has been
missing from Fort Logan for nearly
two weeks.
He enlisted in the army from Phila-
delDhia. and the fact that he was an en-
listed man and not a West Point gradu-
ate. it Is believed, may have an in
direct bearing on his mysterious alb
sence from the post
The Denver police department has been
asked to look for him, as it is feared he
has either been murdered for his money
or drugged and held prisoner in some se-
Questered place. Lieutenant Kistler mad
$3.50 in cash with him when be left the
fort last Monday a week ago. and this.
Il is thought. may have furnished an
incentive to kill the young soldier and
make way with his body
Mystery cloaks his going from the fort.
He left suddenly. and. it Is said, with
out permission, but the motive he had
in leaving is not quite clear to his fell
low officers or the commander az the
fort. Some months ago Lieutenant Kist-
Ter handed in his resignation. but f.
was not accepted because he has another
year in the service before he can re
sign.
II is hinted that he was not satisfied
with the treatment he received at the
post.
Having risen to bis present position
from the ranks he thought he was being
Disseminated against socially. and this
