About American Political Methods
Relating to designations.

ED. The INDEPENDENT:
"The Independent should not Try
to tell what it doesn't know about
American political methods. 1t
hasn't tie space" Up @ Advertiser,
Nov 49,
American political methods os
carried out in this Territory is no
doubt good thing to keep away
from.
But as far as the designations
of the heads OF the Departments OF
the territorial government is con.
cerned, the Independent does know
that it il, not compulsory upon nor
is it the duty OF those officials to
send in theic resign atoms to an
"Actine" Governor,
hbblbud'lOu Ol OmCb CdutOL Do
thought OF until a permanent gov
ernor to succeed Dole has been COM
missioDed.
The Superintendent of Public
Works probably resigned his COM
mission for private and personal
reasons. His resignation OF the
other official heads.
The sycophant action OF the At
torney General and Superintendent
of Public Instruction last week in
rendering their designations to an
official who was rot then out OF Of.
fee, and making obeisance to per-
son who is not yet governor, was, to
say the least, very premature.
The Treasurer is evidently the
only official OF the lot who has any
knowledge of official decorum and
etiquette.
The action OF those two officials
savors very much OF O political
dodge, a dodgs to put the Treasurer
in an unsavory political position
But, it will not work.

CINCINNATI, Nov 1s.-The Nauonai
Woman's Christian convention closed here
tonight. In regard to a recent formal
statement of the committee OF fifty, OF
which Mayor Seth Low of New York CITY
and President Eliot Of Harvard are mem
bers, criticsng the present compulsory
teaching of Temperance physiology IN the
public schools, the convention adopted
a voluminous report. The reply closes:
"The report of the committee OF 81 10 an
unjustifiable attack upon the system OF the
temperance work, and the charge that the
teaching Of the indorsed school physioiogies
is unscientifc is unsustained by any evil
dence they bring forward. The defence OF
moderate drinking by the committee OF bo
is subtle and sophistical.
"As representatives OF the mothers OF
the children in the public schools under
this instruction, who know the good 10 Ia
doing, we utter our sole mn and emphatic
protest against any attempt to minimize
or removeit. We agree with the Committee
of Fifty that they will find it no easy task
to do so, and that in such an effort they
will be compelled to reckon with the mothers
and best citizens OF the nation."

ADMIRAL EVANS SUSTAINED.
His Strong Criticism Of a COurt.Martial
Approved BY Secretary Moody.

WARRINGTON, Nov. l8. Secretary Moody
to-day disposed of the protest filed by
Paymaster N. f. Biscoe against the plain
language used by Rear Admiral Evans,
o)mmander-in. chief OF the Asiatic. naval
station, in criticism of Mr.. Biscoe and other
members of a court -martial for the light
sentence imposed upon Assistant Pay
master Rishworth Nicholson, who was
convicted of drunkenness and of assault
on the German Consul at Chefoo, China.
The sentence was reduction Of five numbers
in rank.
Admiral Evans did not mnce words in
criticisng the members of the court and
what he said was regarded by Paymaster
Biscoe as rejecting upon the integrity Of
his fellow members and>himself. In pro-
testing against his language. Mr.. Biscoe
requested that it be disapproved by the
Navy Department, or that the Admiral
be directed to withdraw it.
Secretary Moody devoted much atten-
ton to the case and the conclusion he reached
was that Admiral Evans WIS within the
limits OF his authority in criticising the
finding of not guilty upon the third charge
and pronouncing the sentence Inadequate,
and n his criticism and animadversion upon
the court" He added
it is not to be inferred from this decision
that although the power of censure by the
anthory Of is
tice OF many years, it should be ndiscrimi-
nate!y exercised. 1t is to be kept IN mind
that members of courts-martial must be in
dependent in their action and not subject
to control.
It is to be regretted that an occasion has
arisen which. in the Judgment of the review-
ing authority, demanded severe a censure
as was inflicted in this case Nevertheless,
as the members of the court must be the
judges Of the measure of their duty. SO the
reviewing authority must be the judge of
the measure of his duty,
1t il considered that in this instance Rear
Admiral! Evans has not shown himself I'M
worthy of the continued confidence OF the
Department On the contrary, in view Of
the evidence before the court. without weigh
ing too nicely the terms of his censure. it ia
believed that he was actuated by high sense
Of duty and inspired by regard for the honor
and welfare of the service.

A MONkEY-AND-PiRROT DIET.
Mr.. Jan,es's Adventures I'm Trip Across
South America.

BALTIMORE, Nov 18--To be compelled
to cat monkeys and parrots for weeks to
stave off starvation is not an ordinary
experience. 1t was what happened to
Alyah Dorsey Jumes, formerly Of this
city. who returned to Baltimore to-day
after an exploring trip in the wilds of Sout h
America. In addition to the menu of
monkeys an6 parrots, Mr.. James was &C m
pelled at times. to resort to green bananas
and the roots of trees.
He sailed from New York for Callad,
Peru, by the way Of the Isthmus OF Pan
anna last April There were three in the
party, Mr.. James being accompanied by a
photographer and a taxdermist They
carried 800 pounds of emergency rations,
including 100 pounds of chocolate.
They crossed the Andes on mules and
were In the mountains approximately a
highest altitude they reached was l8,S0O
feet.
They abandoned their mules at the head
of canoe navigation on the Pichis River
and embarked in dugouts, which were to
carry them to the main stem of the Amazon.
and Pachitea rivers they shot eighty-fou
rapids: 49, .,.,,,,.,.u.,,,o y, ., ,.;uo :,
one OF these and lost all their provisions
and much Of their outfit Starvation in
the wilderness stared them in the face,
and they lived for six weeks on green la
nanas and the roots of trees.
Meanwhile James contracted the Pichis
River fever. and they. were laid up in one
place for twenty -one days. While here they
survived on diet of monkey and parrot.
In due course of events they came to
Iquitos, and owing to the rundown state
of the party and to James's i'll health,
they took steamer down the Amazon
10 Para. From Para they sailed for New.
York. The trip stands as a successful
crossing of the continent from the Pacific
to the Atlantic. The entirs party survived,
travel through the Pichis River district
of South America show that for every
three men who go in only one comes out
alive.
