NAVY COURTS-MART|AL
SIGNS OF DEPRAWTY
Annual Report of Judge Ad-
vocate General.

That there has been marked in
crease in the offences among the per-
sonnel Of the naval service within the
past few years is shown by the annual
report of Capt. S. C. Lemly. the Judge
Advocate General of the Navy. This Las
been due partly to a greater number of
enlistments, the total strength now be-
ling more than 10000 men. whereas it
was only about half that number prior
to the Spanish war.
In 1897 the courtsmartial, general and
summary, aggregated 1904, while for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1902, they num-
bered 3,242. Captain Lemly does not
give any details of the division of the
courts among the several squadrons and
stations. 1t is said in naval circles that
desertions are more numerous than ever
before, and that there has been an
alarming increase in this offense in the
North Atlantic or home feet.

Recommendations Renewed.

Captain Lemly renews the recommen-
dations that legislation be enacted to
compel the attendance of civil witnesses
before naval courts and to enable the
Government to use devices patented by
naval officers. He devotes considerable
space to telling of the condition OF the
naval prisons at Boston and Mare ISL
and, and praises the new system of
placing on probation on board ships Of
tenders who have been sentenced to i'm
prisonment.
At the beginning of the fiscal year,

twenty naval prisoners on probation
and thirty-two were added during the

THE LATE DR. ADAMS, FORMER
MERIDFN PASTOR.

In reference to the death Of Rev.
Benjamin NJ. Adams, D. D., former
pastor of the First NJ. Z. church of
New Haven, the Danbury News says:
DR.. Adams, as he was known by all.
was first taken sick one week ago last
Friday, on returning to the parsonage
from the outer district of Bethel. where
he had attended funeral. He was talk
en- with what he described to BE- a sort
of dizzy spell and physician was i'm
mediately summoned. He was better,
however by the following Sunday, and
occupied his pulpit that morning which
was the last sermon he preached. The
fore part of the week he was taken
poorly again and was obliged to take
his bed and continued to fail until
death came. The weak condition Of
his heart, together with his old age,
made his recovery a doubtful mat
ter and although everything possible
was done for the sick pastor to restore
him to health his condition grew worse
each hour until he passed away.

One of their own countrymen tells
the Norwegians that by abstaining
from manly sports such as prevail in
England they develop a rotundity of
body which is positively unsightly.
The relation Of athletics to personal
attractiveness IL thus suggested in a
practical manner. 1t is always to be
borne in mind, however, that outdoor
sports sometimes leave the partici-
pants less handsome but more wise
than they were before entering games.
Nevertheless hard knock now and
then ought not to deter Norwegians or
any one else from athletic diversions.

Very disagreeable and tedious IL the
ordinary methods Of coaling ships,
and for this reason naval men are
much interested in a new method. the
principal advantages Of which are
that no time Is lost while a ship is
being loaded with coal and that no
coal dust is scattered over the clean
decks. Moreover. by this new method
few men can quickly supply a ship
with all the coal needed, whereas un.
der the old method it Is necessary to
employ several men.
A man-of-war requiring coal need
not stop, as heretofore. All she has
to do Is to take in tow a coal barge
and to continue on her way. keeping
the barge at a distance Of about $50
yards behind her.
Besides the cable, or tow rope, q
rope Of strong wire must connect the
barge and man-of-war, and one end of
this rope must be firmly fastened on
each vessel to rack or stand. I'd
this wire rope Is attached another ca
bic, which Is provided with several roll
ers.
Over this last cable the coal Il
easily passed in bags from the barge
to the ship. A test has shown that q
thousand tons Of coal can quickly BE-
placed in this manner on an ironclad
vessel Of the latest type and that dur.
ing the operation. the barge being
still kept in tow. a speed Of from 10
to II knots can be maintained.

Thirty years ago President Grant, in
private conversation, remarked that
there was only one war clearly in sight
for the United States-a war with
Spain over Cuba, which war he regard
ed as inevitable. He added that after
that contest should be decided, the
future Of the American countries Dor
dering on the Atlantic would have been
determined, and the attention of the
world would be absorbed In a CONNER
cial struggle in the Pacific. President
Grants far-sightedness has been vim
dicated. The war with Spain has been
fought, and now the energies of the
nations are engaged In various prob
lens Of the Pacific. The United States
itself Is dealing with one of the most
difficult of these problems, the govern
ment Of the Philippines. 1t has much
at stake in another Of them, the main
tenance Of the integrity of China. The
possession of Hawaii and the new as
sured isthmian canal add to its interest

power may some time decide Asiatic

cially and politically. Already the oc-
casion Of one war, she may yet be the
pretext for another. Alliances between
Japan and Great Britain and between
Russia and France suggest a grouping
Of powers for emergencies. China is
harassed by two rebellions, and by "a
war of concessions" at Pekin, in which
Germany, Great Britain and other pow.
ers are taking part. Altogether, there
Is no part of the world which Is more
interesting, and no region where his
tory Is making more rapidly, than in
the countries and islands washed by
the Pacific.
