BRITISH NAVAL REFORM,
1t Will Remove Long Standing
Grievances of Engineers.

London, Dec. Sit is understood
that the admiralty will shortly adopt
the reform introduced in the United
States at MI. Roosevelt's suggestion
in 1899, merging the executive and
engineer officers into one class and
giving officers into one class and
enjoining all executive officers to be
thoroughly trained in engineering
and giving engineers the same status
as executive officers. The reform
will, incidentally, remove long stand
ing and serious grievances of the
engineers. It is also probable that
under the regulations prone
lions to flag rank will be made by Sc
lection, instead of seniority, thus pre-
viding younger admirals.

FRACTIONS OF DISCIPLINE.
FIGURES ARE FURNISHED
Paymaster General of Army Says
Uncontrolled Liquor Traffic Has
Bad Effect.

Washington, Dec. 5. - General
Bates, paymaster general of the army,
has sent a communication to Adjutant
General Corbin, in regard to the army
canteen question, in which he says:
THE claim of the war department
in recommending the restoration of
the canteen to the army, that during
the operations of the canteen law, the
discipline of the army was superior,
desertions much less, and that there
were fewer fines and forfeitures by
court martials on account of breaches
of military discipline, resulting from
use of ~intoxicants by men in the ser
vice, appears to be fully borne out
by records of the paymaster generals
Office"
General Bates quotes figures to
support his assertion and continues:
"The fact, therefore, appears IN.
dlsputable by the figures cited, that
fines and forfeitures imposed upon
and collected from enlisted men of
the army were vastly increased dur.
ing the year subsequent to the abol
ishment of the canteen, which in
crease can't we'll be attributed to any
other cause than the effects of an UNI
controlled liquor traffic in connection
with military posts, which traffic ap'
pears to seriously affect the disci,
pine and morals of the army"

Distribution and Use of the Waters
Of the Western
Rivers.

Washington, Dec. SIN his annual
report the secretary of agriculture
say that an investigation was be-
gun during the year as to the POSSIBLE
ity of retaining soils in the arid re-
gions injured by seepage water and
the accumulation of akali. Important
work on this line is being carried out
on a tract of 40 acres near Salt Lake
City. Arrangements are being made
to carry on similar work at Fresno,
Cal, and it is proposed TO extend it
to Montana and possibly Arizona, to
demonstrate that these u%nfavorable
conditions can be controlled.
The distribution and use Of western
rivers requires legislation on the ir-
rigation industry, which in turn rem
ders it necessary that there should be
a better understanding of the sub
ject than now exists. The department
is securing information as to the
quantity of water used, where it is

PROBLEM MORE DIFFICULT THAN
ADMIRAL CERvERA's.
WILL START IN THE NIGHT
Mimic Warfare Of the American Fleet
in the South Is Now About.
to Begin.

Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad,
Wednesday,, Dec. 3.-Rear Admiral
Sumner has issued an order with re-
spect to the neutrality of Trinidad.
With the departure of the gunboat
Eagle this morning communication
with the shore ceased and from now
on the movements of the "enemy's"
squadron will be cloaked in mystery.
While Admiral Sumner has not indi-
Gated when he proposes to sail the
understanding among the officers of
the vessels under his command is
that the squadron will leave the Gulf
of Paria at 5 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. There is a lighthouse at Boca
Grande, the exit from the gulf, and
apprehension is felt that the keeper
may communicate with the United
States consul, who will telegraph to
Rear Admiral Higginson, command
ing the defending squadron, the
course and speed of the enemy" Con-
%sequently Admiral Sumner proposes
when out of sight of land to change
his course and speed and then pro-
coed to the port chosen for the scene
of the attack.
It is often the case that the course
of warships is followed by boxes and
other refuse thrown overheard. There
fore Admiral Sumner has decided that
such debris be put in condition to
sink Immediately when thrown into
the sea-, or that it be burned. New
code signals for use day and night
have been arranged in order to pre-
vent their being read by Admiral
Higginson's scouts.
Though his squadron is stronger
than the one commanded by Admiral
Cervera, Admiral Sumner declares
that the problem before him is more
difficult than that of the Spaniards,
as the latter were able to choose ports
in Cuba as we'll as in Porto Rico and
Culebra. Moreover, the Spaniards
moved from the Cape Verda islands,
while Admiral Summers command is
close and is limited in regard to time.

Crookston, Mimi, Dec. 5.-The mys
tery surrounding tie disappearance OF
Miss Gcrtruao Strassberger of this

The parents and the police do not
consider it possible that she is drown
ed, as the ice is firm all over the part
of the river upon which the party
was skating. All clues thus far fol
lowed have come to naught, and her
disappearance is unexplainable.
Photographs and descriptions have
been sent broadcast and a thorough
search of all places in or about the
city where she might have been Sc
creted, following out the abduction
theory, is being made.
No possible trace of her leaving on
any train can be secured. She is not
suspected of clipping, and there is alb
solutely no accounting for her dis
appearance, She is a daughter of an
eminently respectable family, and her
parents are beside themselves with
grief.

THIRTY-FiVE MEN HOLD UP
THEIR HANDS,
ROBBERS USED NO MASKS
Two Covered Crowd With Guns While
Third Relieved Games of
Bank Rolls.

Pocatello, Idaho, Dec. 5.-About the
boldest and most daring holdup in
the history of Idaho was committed
at II o'clock last night when three
men whose faces are familiar around
town, and who did their work without
masks or the slightest attempt at con-
cealment, entered the rear door of
the Eagle clubrooms and robbed the
house of about $1,000. 49,
Two of the men advanced into the
room, in which there were not less
than IS men, and covered the lot of
them, each man holding two revolvers.
The third man then marched around to
the games and gathered up all the
money in each drawer, meeting with
no resistance.
The money was dropped into a sack
improvised out of the leg of a pair of
overalls, and the trio backed towards
the door, the two who had held the
guns firing a volley into the ceiling
as they departed. The faces of the
men are we'll known in town. Though
no one appears to know them by
name, it is expected that they can be
easily captured, and the officers are
now hot on their trail.
