HALE AFTER MILITIA

Washington, Jan. ia spirited dis
CussIOn was preCipitated In the Sen
ate today by some remarks submitted
by Hale OF Maine in regard to bills
relating to the formation OF naval
reserve which he introduced. He took
strong ground against the organization
OF naval reserve, his comments beng
construed by some OF the Senators into
a reflection upon volunteer soldiers
and land mimtla. Half a dozen Sena.
tors were on their feet in an instant
to defend the volunteers and the Ma.

the debate took so wide a range that
Senators went back in their refer.

ANSILNT SHIPS.

1t is stated that ship dating from
the time Of Columbus Is still trading
between Spain and America. One
wonders how much Of the original tim.
Der remains. The condition of tho
Anita (such is said to be her nameJ
must resemble that of the ancient
sloop Lively, wrecked at Bacton, near
Cromer, England, described as follows
in the Whitby Gazette, July. 1888:
The Lively was built by Mr.. Spence
In 1856, and is, therefore, more than
100 years old, and was the oldest
Whitby built ship ahoat. We
believe she had but one of her original
planks in her, having been partially
rebuilt once or twice" Another an.
Client ship was the Liberty. wrecked in
1856. She was built In Whitby Eng.
land, in 1850. and was employed in the
coal and Baltic trades. The Russian
Admiral at Cronstadt inspected her in
1850, and expressed surprise at her
age and build, remarking that he had
commanded n ship Of 100 guns but
never ship 100 years old.-Coast Sea

SOBER CREWS

A recent decision OF the United
States Court is of interest to sailors
and masters. It was given in the case
Of the libel of the steamer Bertha OF
San Francisco by member of the
crew discharged for drunkenness and is
to the effect that It is within the legal
authority of the master of a ship to
prohibit absolutely the use Of intoxicat-
ing liquors by his subordinate officers
and the members of the crew. and a
mate who. after the master had remon-
strated with him for his excessive use
of liquor, and had forbidden the stew
ard to furnish him any, obtained it
through the connivance of passenger
and. owing to intoxication. failed to
obey an order with the required
prOmptness, gave legal cause for his
discharge before the expiration Of hia
term OF service"

STROKE A La PROTET.

The peculiar rowing stroke of the
sailors OF the French cruiser Protet has
caused much comment among the wise
ones on the front who will discuss upon
anything from the manufacture of soft
soap to the chances of shippers in the
life eternal.
The old timers do not approve of
the Frenchman's manner of rowing and
the boat boys at the landing are all
practicing it on the sly, thinking they
have discovered something whereby
much work can be accomplished with
little labor.
The stroke consists of a quick reach.
