Adyices from Philadelphia are to the ef-
feet that the new Philadelphia Baltimore
ana Washington railroad-born of the con-
soiidation of the Philadelphia Wilmington
and Baltimore and the Baltimore and Po-
tomac-although only a few hours old.
proposes the issue of additional stock This
sl0.oao,o00. is designed to cover the improve
ments planned here at the national capital.
which include larger freight yards and a
union passenger station.
A Pennsylvania railroad Official i'm dis.
cussing the merger of the Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore and the Balti-
more and Potomac lines yesterday said that
the primary object of the consolidation was
TO enable the new company to increase it's
capital to cover the Washington improve
ments. He said that so small a road as
the Baltimore and Potomac, which is the
terminal line, could not be expected to de.
fray the entire share of the Pennsylva MAS
interest in the union station Snch an act
would wipe the road out of existence as
its capital had been but x5521. .OOa.
II was only just. he remarked. that the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
should stand its share of the expense In
asmuch that road would profit more by
the improvements. as IL has longer haul
and consequently receives higher fares. In
short, IL was case of equity To accom-
plish proper adjustment of the expenses
the roads had to be merged OF courseS
while the Washington Improvements were
paramount I'm bringing about the consolidar
ton, there were other reasons for the
among these was the simplifying of the
operation Of the lines by reducing IL to one
management. Heretofore each line MAIN
tained distinct organization.

ARTILLERY TO PRACTICE.
Gunners to Be in Training for Naval
Attack

The artillery companies stationed at the
defenses of Long Island are to be given
an opportunity to brush up on their marks
manship just before the naval attack of
the north Atlantic squadron, under Admi-
raj Higginson, begins During the interval
between August 20, the closing day of the
naval seach problem which is now in pro-
gress, and September /, when the joint
maneuvers are scheduled to begin, extern
sive target practice will be indulged i'm at
the defenses named, and also at the other
forts along the New England coast. The
principal feature of the practice at the
Long Island forts will be firing at moving
targets. proficiency in which is particularly
needful in view of the impending attack of
the war vessels. The targets are rigged in
various ways, some of them being fash
ioned to represent a warship. They are to
be drawn past the forts by small tugs A
number of the ordnance officers on duty at
the War Department left Washington to-
night to be present at the target work. and
Gen. Croker, chief ordnance officer, who is
a member of Gen. MacArthur's stan. is ex-
pected to view the work at the several
forts.
The War Department will issue an order
in few days. giving general Instructions
to govern competition in this target prac-
tfce along the coast.
Orders were issued by the War Depart
ment yesterday detailing a number of addi-
tional officers to duty In connection with
the joint maneuvers. Maj. Garland N
Whistler and Capt William Chamberlaine
OF the artillery corps have been ordered TO
New London to report to Gen. Randolph
chief of artillery, who will leave shortly for
that place for duty during the maneuvers.
Maj. George p. Scriven and First Lieut.
Henry s. Gathaway Of the signal corps
have been ordered also to New London to
report for duty to Gen. Greely. First Lieut.
Alfred T. Clifton has been ordered to
Wakefield. R. l.. on similar duty.

SOLDIERS MAY NOT MARRY.
Practice of Marrying and Deserving
Filipino Women Condemned.

lrtted States soldiers who marry Fill
pino women in the future will run very
great risk Of being dishonorably discharged
from the service. The Frequency of such
marriages has been made the subject of a
report to the War Department from CEN
eral Chaffee, who takes the ground that
rather than give the soldier am excuse 10

the soldier discharged without honor one
OF the requirements Of enlistment l. that
the applicant be not married. and a mar
riage after enlistment is regarded a. lust
as detrimental to the service as befnr. en-
listment. i'll which latter case the applicant
would not be enlisted.
Army chaplains have the right to marry
any one they please. but they customarily
do not marry enlisted men without the con-
sent of the commanding officers Generally
such consent is withheld in the case of en-
listed men, inaSmuch as at posts there are
limited accommodations even for married
commissioned officers
III soldiers in the Philippines marry native
women and then. when their regiments are
ordered away, attempt TO desert them they
may be held as having been guilty of con-
duct preJudicial TO good discipline ana

rled man the army can make no provision

There faS undoubtedly been wanton
cruelty practiced on native women by en-
listed so.c;ers who married them hiding i'm
their hearts the cowardly intent to desert
them whenever their regiments left the
Islands, said the Manila Times in a recent
editorial.
1t Is a question If chaplains who
have thus made it possible for the men TO
violate fundamental law of honor and

ONLY PENSIoNER OF 1912 DYING.
Hiram Cronk, Nearly 1O3 Years Old,
Sleeping His Life Away.

A special to the, New York World from
Utica, N Y, yesterday says: Hiram Cronk.
the only living pensioner of the war of
1872, who is nearing his one hundred and
third birthday anniversary, Is quietly
sleeping his life away at the home of his
daughter. Mrs. Sarah Rewley, in Dun Brook,
Oneida county rT an.
Physicians who have Rcared for him for
the past dozen years predict that the ia
nous centenarian has but little time to
i've Mr.. Cronk sleeps for several days
and nights continuously, and then is awake
for merely few hours before he .dozes
INTO another spell of prolonged slumber.
What little time the veteran spends in a
conscious state is always at the dead Of
night For some time he has not been
known to lie awake In the day time.

LEGISLATION FOR GUAM
Navy Department Will Recommend
Action by Congress.

The Navy Department Will recommend
that Congress enact some legislation which
VIII clear up the anomalous situation which
at present exists on the Island of Guam
Acting Secretary OF the Navy Darling. un-
der whose supervision the governmen. of
that island is carried on, Is giving the sit
uation OF affairs there a great deal OF con-
sideration, but yet has arrived at 10
definite conclusions concerning the recom-
mendation which he will make.
The administration Of justice is one e
the things which calls most urgently for
action 1t Is possible that a way out of
the difficulty might be found by extending
over the island the provisions of the act
which extends the federal statutes nyar
the Guano Islands and gives the Triited
states court, into whose jurisdiction an Of
Tender from those islands Is first brouRh hit
jurisdiction over his case. This statute was
tested in the Supreme Court and held e,
be constitutional If the provisions of the
statute We're extended to Guam petty Of
fenseSs could be tried there i'm the existing
court and graver crimes, including those
Tor which capital punishment is prescribed
could be tried in any United States court
INTO the Jurisdiction OF which an offender
was brought
Legislative action is also necessary 10 in
sure the stability OF the tariff laws now in
force on the island. This tariff was Gre
ated by an executive order of Presid mt
mckinley. and, according to the decision
IN the insular cases. is unconstitutional.
The receipts from customs dues have made
the island selfsustaining but unless leeis-
lation is enacted by Congress a test ca "a
could be brought in a United States court
which would nullify the present tariff ard
thus destroy the revenues of the island
Commander Schroeder is expected here I'm
october. and he doubtless will be consulted
before the final recomme nda ions to Con-
gress. regarding what is needed in the way
or legislation, are drawn.

seas and lands south Of US, as well as in
those Of the farthest east And much de-
pends upon the way in which we meet
these duties, the way in which we take sd-
vantage of these opportunities.
From the days Of Monroe, Clay and the
younger Adams we a people have always
looked with interest upon the West Indies
and the isthmuS connecting the two Ameri-
cas-, feeling that anything happening in
those regions must be Of concern to our
welfare. There is now ampler reason than
ever before for this feeling. The outcome
Of the Spanish war put us in possession of
Porto Rico and brought us into peculiarly
close touch with Cuba, while the successful
negotiation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
at last cleared the way for the construc-
tion of the isthmian canal.
Porto Rico, i is a pleasure to say NAV
DDS of administering our insular posses
sions. So excellent have been the effects
of our administration and legislation con-
cernng this island that their very excel
lence has resulted in their being almost for
gotten by those at home. There is hardly
ripple of failure on the stream of our sue
cess; and SO, as Is apt to be our way we
don OF thing Of it ALL Yet it is well worth
while to think OF It, and 1t is pleasant to
learn by an experience which teaches Us
what to follow instead Of what to avoid.
First and foremost in Porto Rico, We
have consistently striven to get the very
best men to administer the affairs Of the
island. 1t is desirable throughout our pub
lie service to secure a high standard Of ef-
ficiency and integrity. But, after all, mere
at home We always have in our own hands
the remedy for any failure to provide such
qualities. In a far-off island things are
different. There, things go more easy and
those who suffer from 1t are more helpless,
while there is less efficient check In the
way Of that public opinion to which public
men are sensitive. In consequence the ad-
ministration of these islands is, beyond all
other kinds of administration in our coun-
try, the one in which the highest standard
must be demanded.

Washington, July ga cablegram
received at the state department
Monday from United States Minister
Buck, at Toxic, says that the Japan
ese minister Of foreign affairs in
formed him that "a Japanese naval
vessel would leave yesterday for Mar
Gus island. The purpose Of her going
is not TO make trouble. but to pre-
vent il. An official Of the for
eign Office was To go on
the vessel, and he would carry a
letter To Capt. Roschill cabled from
the state department here 10 ,iinis-
ter Buck. advising the captain not TO
make any disturbance or TO resort to
violence TO obtain possession of the
island, with possible loss Of life and
involving international complications.
IL the captain would observe this
advice. the department said, for it's
part, IL would endeavor TO settle the
claim to Marcus island diploratical-
ly.
Capt. Rosehill is reported TO have
sailed from Honolulu for Marcus isl
and in a schooner July IL, and IL is
therefore probable that he already IS
at Marcus island or very near to
there. The letter may corne INTO his
hands too late to avert trouble, hut
the department officials are hoping
for the best.
