SITE FORANAVALSTATION
LAKE BLUFF, NORTH OF CHICAGO,
THE CHOICE OF THE BOARD.
Michigan City Had the Advantage of
Proximity to SeabOard, but 1t
Was Not Recommended.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The board COM
posed OF Rear Admiral Taylor and Lieu
tenant Commander Winslow, appointed to
the great lakes, has made its report to
Secretary Moody. The board selected five
sites. the first choice being Lake Bluff,
thirty-two miles north of Chicago; the
second is Racine. Wis; third. Muskegon,
Mich; fourth, Milwaukee,, and fifth, Michi-
gan City. The report has been transmitted
to Congress.
AS TO the relative merits of these five
proposed sites the board. in its report, says:
"While all localities possess advantages
that make them suitable more or less for a
training station, 1t has been seen that
Lake Bluff has a great advantage as re-
CARDS the element of population; Muskegon
excels in the best natural harbor; Michigan
City has the advantage of proximity and
or access to the Atlantic seaboard. While
perhaps none of the sites possess all the
ideal local requirements, all of them are
sufficiently suitable for the purpose"
The question of price has not been d.
rectly taken up between the board and
the owners OF the land, nor nave options
been obtained. In his letter OF t~ransmissal,
Secretary Moody says that in view of the
large price at which the land at Lake Bluff
is held the board suggests four other sites
as suitable.
At the present time. the secretary con-
tinues, a large number of recruits for the
naval service are obtained from the States
of which Lake Michigan Is the center.
These men are of high quality in every
respect. l respectfully recommend to Con-
gress the earnest consideration of the re-
of Il naval training station on the great
lakes.

AN AIRSHIP THAT FLIES
REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE OF
LEBAUDY'S DIRIGIBLE BALLOON.
Forty-Six Miles Covered i'm Ninety
Five Minutes-Steered mt VIII
While Going at High speed.

PARIS, Nov. Zone of the greatest
triumphs of dirigible ballooning was
achieved to-day by the Lebaudy brothers,,
whose airship in one hour and thirty-five
minutes covered the forty-six miles sepa-
rating Moisson and the Champ de Mars,
Paris. The balloon attained an extraordi-
narily high speed. dashing through the air
sometimes at the rate of two-thirds of a
mile a minute, the mean speed being TWEEN
ty-nine miles per hour.
When the balloon mounted at Moisson, a
moderate breeze was blowing in the di-
rection of Paris. The Lebaudys were not
in the balloon. which was steered by a
pilot. Juchmes, assisted by a machinist.
Juchmes said: 1--WE proceeded, by way of
Cheerence, Vethuil, Fontenay, Saint Pere
and Garzenville. To avoid condensation,
we followed the southern boundary of the
Vernuil forest and ~retraversed the Seine
one hour after our departure. We saw
Poissy, passed the forest of ST. German
and then Montesson, traversed the Bots de
Boulogne and entered Paris above the
Porte de Passy. The departure from Mois-
son occurred at $40 in the morning. When
the machine touched the ground on the
Champs de Mars it was exactly IL :01. Thus
we made the voyage in one hour and forty
one minutes. The maximum altitude was
800 and the mean 100 meters"

Experience of the Steamer Cherokee
in Dominican Waters.

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-The Clyde-line
steamer Cherokee arrived to-day from San
Domingo with intelligence Of the insur-
~rection, and reports an exciting experience
with a Dominican ~man-of-war. The Chero-
kee, on her outward voyage, was met at
Puerto Plata, on Oct. q, by the Dominican
man-of-war, which fired several shots
across her bows and stopped her. After
some parley the Cherokee was allowed to
go into Puerto Plata, land her cargo and
mails and reload. OF Macrois, on Nov. 3,
the Cherokee was stopped by the same yes
sci and again permitted TO proceed. AT
SANTANA, Nov. A., the war vessel ordered
the Cherokee away. The Cherokee waited
until after dark, when the man-of-war
sailed out of port without lights. Then
the Cherokee went in and landed her cargo
and mails. She succeeded In making
schedule time at her usual ports, except
Monte Crispi.
Macoris was evacuated by the govern
ment forces on Nov. 3, the day of sailing,
and all the ports except San Domingo city
were in the hands of insurgents when she
finally sailed. AT Puerto Plata, Nov. b, a
French and Cuban steamer We're ordered
away by the Dominican warship. Inc
Dominican government officials refused the
Cherokee clearance papers to leave san
Domingo and also refused to allow a pilot
to take her out of the harbor. Minister
eminent and instructed the captain of the
Cherokee to take his ship out without clear
ance papers or pilot.
The Cherokee brought nineteen cabin
passengers from San Domingo, but no
refugees.

SHOOT CASE DISCUSSED.
Speeches by Senator's HOar and Du.
bois-BilIs

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Immediately
upon assembling to-day the Senate plunged
into a discussion OF the question of the
eligibility of Mr.. Reed Smoot, of Utah, to a
seat in the Senate. The debate grew out of
the remarks made yesterday by Mr.. Hoar,
saying that petitions bearing upon Mr..
Shoots case are as much out of place as
would similar petitions TO the Supreme
Court of the United States be in the inter-
est Of any case before that tribunal.
Mr.. Dubois took issue to-day with Mr..
Hoar's remarks and presented his views in
connection with the petitions for Mr..
Shoots expulsion which were presented by
himself. The matter was discussed for some
time by Messrs. Hoar and Dubois.
For the purpose of providing homes and
employment for the homeless poor and
making themselves sustaining home own
ers. independent OF being hired Mr.. Hoar
by request introduced in the Senate a bill
placed under the direction of the secretary
of agriculture. Tn bill authorizes the sec
rotary to advise the secretary of the in
terror to withdraw from market and settle
ment 100000 acres of government lands,
grouping them together in as large tracts
as possible. Under the bill the secretary Of
agriculture Is directed TO prepare the land
for occupation as national homes for farm
ers and others who will till the soil and re-
ceiye the proceeds of their labor with the
exception of the amounts which will be set
aside to reimburse the government for it's
expense i'm preparing the lands and building
houses for the tenants. 1t is planned to use
the property for the benefit of all able
bodied poor. The bill was referred to the
committee on public lands.
Among other bills introduced were the

FOUR CLERKS DISMISSED.


POstmaster's Removal.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.-Postmaster
General Payne to-day directed the dis
missal of Anna Dreyer, Samuel Kober,
Joseph Kreyer and Birdie Knott, clerks
in the ST. Louis postofice, for alleged con-
spiracy to secure the removal Of Post
master Baumhoff, Of that city. These
clerks were suspended March 8 and 10.
and their permanent separation from the
service is now ordered as the result of the
investigation of the charges. The Civil
service Commission a week ago requested
Postmaster Baumhof's reasons for sus-
pending these clerks, and on his report a
decision was endered sustaining the post
masters allegations of conspiracy against
him.
CiviI-service Commissioner Cooley called
on the postmaster general to-day and sub
mitted the commissions decision, as fol-
lows: "On Friday. Nov. 6, the commission
requested Postmaster Baumhoff, of St.
Louis, to state in writing his reasons for
the indefinite suspension Of Anna Dreyer,
a clerk in the st. Louis postoffice. Mr..
pended her acting under instructions from
the postmaster general The postmaster
general states that Miss Dreyer was sus-
pended because she entered into a con-
spiracy with certain political enemies of
Mr.. aum in the city of St. Louis to
secure his removal from the public service.
AT the request OF the PRESIDENT commits
sioner Foulke investigated the matter, and
the testimony established the fact OF the
conspiracy and of the attempt Of Miss
Dreyer and others to secure false testi-
mony beyond the shadow of a doubt. Miss
Dreyer's suspension was due to this cause,
and no other. Any statements from the
postmaster and from any one else other
than that she was engaged in the con-
spiracy referred to have nothing to do
with her suspension, and the commission
is, of course, without power to settle any
personal disputes between Miss Dreyer and
any other person, whether in the public
service or out of it." The same reasons
are given for the other removals.

LITTLE AND BIG GUNS.


zine Rife and 16-Inch Cannon.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Brig. Gen.
William Crozier, chief of ordnance. has
submitted his annual report to the chief
OF staff of the army. 1t deals minutely
with many experiments to improve the
military armament. On the subject Of the
United States magazine rifle General Gro
zier says the results obtained from the
few which we're made by hand were so
satisfactory as to secure the approval of
the secretary of war for the adoption of
this pattern. The reduction in the length
of the barrel from 30 to "a inches, General
Crozier says, met unanimous approval in
all arms of the service. The general de-
sign and ballistic qualities of this rifle. the
report says, are markedly superior to those
of the present service arm. General Gro
zier says hat no automatic musket of
satisfactory mechanical action has been
presented. Nor does he think that the ex-
periments with automatic pistols warrant
the abandonment of the present style of
revolver for any of the types tried.
Experiments conducted with the sixteen
inch gun called for in the report of the
fortihcations board were attended with en-
tire success, the report says. At the fourth
round, with a charge of $40 pounds of a
special smokeless powder and a 2,400-pound
prOjectile, a velocity of 2,3l1 feet a second,
with a pressure of Sc, 700 pounds a square
inch, was attained. He adds that the use
of smOkeless powder in such large charges
was beyond the experience of the world"
and the demonstration that it would, when
so used, follow the same law of burning as
with charges of the size previously en-
plOyed is a service TO the art or cOnStruc-
ton of ordnance.
The report says there lave been issued
to the militia free of charge a total of
69.063 magazine rifles and 9,6O5 carbines,
with accompanying accoutrements and
equipments, ag~gregatins In value 81, 269. ASS.

APPEAL TO CATHOLICS
MONEY NEEDED FOR THE UNIVER.
SITY AT WASHINGTON.
Letter from Cardinal Gibbons Asking
Contributions, i'm Conformity with
the POpe's Wishes.

BALTIMORE, Nov. I'm conformity
with the wishes expressed By the Holy
Father, Piux X, Cardinal Gibbons has or
dered a collection for the Catholic Univer-
sity to be taken up in all the churches of his
archdiocese on the first Sunday of Advent,
Nov. %. 1903. 1t is believed that similar
letters will be issued by the other bishops
of the United States to the faithful of
their dioceses. The cardinals letter says
In part:
the church, has always held universities to
be a most potent factor in the spread and
preservation of Christs kingdom upon
earth. Hence it was that the eariy history
of universities is marked bv the sneciaI
favorS and privileges conferred by the
Popes on all university students, and by the
rich legacies and foundations made to those
high seats OF learning by both clergy and
laity. In a word, the church has ever
realized that the university is a great in
tellectual force for clergy and laity; for
the clergy since IL adornS them with all
the culture of their age, and thereby makes
them skillful in meeting the objections of
adversaries of the faith; for the laity,
the most scientific training.
1T was then in keeping with the most
venerable traditions that the church estab-
iished in the United States the Catholic
university. And surely no one can deny
that its foundation was timely. Behold
the number of non-Catholic universities in
our country. 1t is moreover but right that
all should contribute TO the support of this
great project, because a university needs
for its support far greater resources now
than in the past. Our brethren in Europe
have generously supported their universi-
ties by diocesan collections. And surely
we should not be less generous nor less
broadened so that many of our fellow-cit-
liens. who. from no religious motive. con-
tribute so muniicently TO the numerous
non-Catholic universities of our land. More
over in it's short life the Catholic univer-
sity has already won for itself an intellec-
tual prominence which few other uniyer-
sites have reached in the same period of
time. All this gives good reason for pre-
Stunning that its future will be bright in
deed. If the faithful contribute to it's sup
port with a self-sacrihcing generosity born
of faith In the usefulness of a university
to the church. and If at all times they lend
the moral support Of their sympathy and
we'll meaning admiration. Finally. this is
the first appeal Of our holy father. Plus Y,
to us, his American children. to support a
work In which he manifests so much in
terest. Shall we not then justify his ex-
pectations TO the fullest, and make this
occasion memorable by our cordial and gen.
erous support"

WILL OPPOSE CANAL TREATY.
Democratic Senators Want No Deal
ings with the New Republic.

9
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Democratic
senators nave determined to oppose the
ratification of a canal treaty with the new
republic of Panama, should the admins
tration enter upon treaty negotiations with
that country. The Democratic steering
committee is said to be unanimous in con-
demnation of the recognition the United
States has given to the creation of a new
government on the isthmus, though the
announcement has been made that no
course of OPPOSITION has been definitely
adopted. 1t has been learned on the au-
thority of a member OF the Democratic
steering committee that the sentiment of
the committee Is to attack any effort TO
open negotiations with the new republic
and go before the country In support OF
the Spooner act to show the party is not
antagonistic to the building OF a canal.
1t is claimed that the law is on the side OF
the Democratic programme, as
the Spooner act is a Republican measure.
This act authorizes the President to pro-
coed to the construction Of a canal on the
Nicaraguan and Costa Rican route in the
event that negotiations with COLOMBIA are
not concluded within a reasonable time for
the Panama route.
A cablegram was received at the state
Department from acting Consul General
Ehrman at Panama stating that Philippe
Bunau-Varilla, the Panama minister to
Washington. Is the person charged by his
government with power to negotiate a canal
treaty with the government of the United
States and thai Messrs. Boyd and Amador,
the commissioners who sailed two lays ago
for Washington, were charged with other
missions and would only act in an advisory
capacity as to the treaty.
The Navy Department received the fol-
owing cablegram from Rear Admiral
Glass, commanding the naval forces on the
sthmus: Everything is quiet at Panama.
No sign of any dissatisfaction 1t Is re-
ported that there are few Colombians al
Buena Ventura. The Colombian gunboat
Bogota sailed from Buena Ventura with
troops aboard, but put back to port again.
The British steamers Manavi and Quito
were unmolested."
