M|LHARY EDUCATION.
Official .Corroboration of Inef-
 ficiency of British Officer.

The Committees Work Severely Criti-
 cizes the Existing System-It is
 Recommended that Keeping Hounds,
 Polo Tournaments and Such Things
 Among Army Officers Be Forbidden.
 London, June 7.-The report of the committee on military education and training, issued to-day, furnishes the strongest official corrObOration of the inetficiency of the officers of the British army. The committees report, which is based on the evidence of the officers themselves from the commander-in- chief downwards, fills forty-eight print ed pages with caustic criticism of the existing system. The witnesses were unanimous in saying Ihat-the junior officers were lamentaDly deficient -n military knowledge, the desire to ac- quire Knowledge and in zeal. The coln- mittee finds that the young officers will not work unless compelled to do so, that .keenness is out of fashion, and that lit is not correct form. Ine com mittee declares that many officers dO not possess common elementary educa- ton, and plaintively protests that OH cers ought .at least to be able to ex- press themselves clearly and conclslye- l ly in their own language. The report condemns the systems oI both Woolwich and Sandhurst, where education is liar from satisfactory, the | instructors having no lnducemenI u teach the cadets, still less to work. l With the view of diminishing the eA-
 penses of officers belonging to cavalry regiments, the report recommends tna' polo tournaments, reglmental coacnes and keeping hounds be forbidden. l Perhaps the penultimate paragraph is the most important of all. "So long as mediocrity is permitted to pass mus ter" says the committee, sand signal ability meets with no substantial recog
 milton, it is useless to hope for any valuable results from verbal amend ments to the regulations. Nothing but inducements in the shape of certain re
 ward for good work, either in peace ol war. can raise the standard of knowl edge through the commissioned ranks
 The committee. therefore, recon
 mends an ''honest system of promotion |by merit, following upon tests honestly conducted and reported on."
 The report plainly hints that officers
 can hardly be expected to work as long
 as the present system of advancement through social influence is in vogue, ol | so long as efficiency has nothing what ever to do with the selection of officers for desirable appointments.
 The committee recommends, among
 other things that more commissions b. 1 offered to the colonies and that officers
 be compelled to know either French ol German

shipping Combine In Doubt.

LONDON, June 1.-The statements which have recently appeared in the English press and which forecasted the formation of an all British shipping combination seem to be open to grave doubts. Judging from careful inquiries made in the most influential quarters of London, almost all of what has so far been printed is not only premature, but inspired, and it's purpose is to as sist toward the realization of the ship ping project, which is almost as vision. ary today as it was a month ago.

PRIVATE AUDIENCE WITH POPE
Question of Friar Lands in Philil
 pines Will Be Discussed.

Rome, June 7.-The pana1 secretary
 of state, Cardinal Rampofla, had his
 usual private audience of the pope
 this morning Naturally the question
 of the acquisition by the United
 States of the friar lands in the Philip
 pines will be subject for discussion
 at these daily conferences between the
 pontiff and the secretary of state, but
 the alleged information on the subject
 is purely surmise, as absolute secrecy
 is maintained as to what transpires at
 these official visits. Cardinal Ram
 polla was agreeably impressed by the
 frankness shown by Governor Taft in sending him copy of Secretary Roots instructions, for examination.
 The pope has not yet appointed the commission of cardinals to which the matter is to be referred. This com mission will consist of five members instead of three as previously SUD- posed and probably Cardinals Vannu- telli, Satolli and Wives Tuto will be included. Cardinal Martinelli will be
 excluded, because he is an Augustin- ian and is liable to be too partial. Cardinal Martinelli will be present at the customary official reception of
 the cardinals, prior to the consistory, at the Palazzo Borghese to-day. The
 American officials will also be present. Cardinal Rampolla to-day returned the visit of Governor Taft at the Ho- | tel Quirinai.
 Governor Taft is greatly annoyed | by the inventions of the Italian news papers regarding his visit to Rome. The Italia, one of the chief offenders, published an alleged interview with the governor which was entirely 'faked.''

CRUISER DIXIE BACK AGAIN
Capt Barry Tells of the Martin
 ique Disaster.

The People of St Vincent Have Suf- fered the Most-PrOressor Russell of the Michigan University Says He
 Thinks Mont Pelee Will Be Active for Months.
 New York, June 7.-Captain Barry of the cruiser Dixie, just returned from bearing supplies to the volcano victims in the West Indies, says re- garding conditions in the islands: I
 conditions are not as bad on Mar unique as on St Vincent, because on Martinique the people are fairly well supplied with everything and there is no danger in future eruptions. Only a small area of twelve square miles has been devastated. but on St Vincent the destruction extends over third Of the island. Plantations. orchards and everything have been ruined. and the means of subsistence has been taken away from the people, and thousands have been left i'll need of some kind of support"
 Of the scientific results of the Dix ieS expedition Professor l.. c. Russell of the University of Michigan said:
 t'The oyerheated rock, bursting against the water near the base of the mountain, caused superheated steam and burst the mountain open | Professor Hill, who investigated the outbreak for the government, said Months will be required for the final scientific decisions We have had an eminently satisfactory trip. The rocks and volcanic matter which we have collected must be cut into sec tions and analysed before we can give extended opinions for publication" l Professor Hill advocates the estab lishment of scientific observations il 1 the Caribbean district for the detec- ton of the imminence of volcanic eruptions, so that human life may be saved-a scientific institution easily and economically founded and main 1 tained.
 q think Pelee will smoke and re main active for months,' said Profes sor Russell Ut will probably be 2 case of Vesuvius again. I hardly think Pelee will shoulder and blow III in one gigantic explosion. I believe it will quiet down and gradually dit away A new lake will form in tht crater, tropical verdure will grow where there is now nothing but black gray ash.
 "The people will build new town: and villages at it's foot and again holt their holiday picnics on it's sides, an( Pelee will probably remain quiet fol probably fifty or sixty years.
 '"There should be at least a seismo Igraph on every volcano-an instrument which records the tremors of tn learth. It was operated by the Chi nese centuries ago. The instrumen would give the populace ample warn ing. The seismograph at Vesuviu for thirty-fiye years has done satisfac tory and valuable work There is ab soiutely no occasion for such tremen dous loss of life as occurred at $ Pierre.
 q do not think Fort de France i in much danger from the volcano, bu do think she is in danger from
 tidal wave. In volcanic district these tidal waves are of frequent oc currence They are caused by a sud den upheaval of the sea bottom. Ii
 case of such an upheaval Fort q
 France would surely be wiped out
 As a safety position from tidal wave
 Morne Rouge is finely situated, as is built on a high ridge. It is abou the only town in the volcanic belt s

St Paul, Minn, June 7.-The supreme court of Minnesota has decided that a girls beauty is not to be counted against her, and that if a jury is in fuenced by the comeliness of a fair plaintiff it is not for the courts to de prive her of her natural advantages.
