WITHOUT JURISDICTION.
Acting Secretary sanger's Decision Re

Acting Secretary Sanger, following an
opinion by Judge Advocate General Davis,
has decided that the War Department is
without Jurisdiction over the submerged
lands Of Porto Rico, and that Congress
alone is vested with the authority to grant
permits for the construction Of piers and
other harbor works on such lands. The
question arose on an application to the de-
partment by a Boston company for permis-
sion to erect q pier at Ponce. An examina-
tion of the statutes applicable to the case
resulted in a conclusion that the authori-
lies of Porto Rico and the War Depart
ment as well had no jurisdiction In the mat

Port Townsend, May l4.-Setamboat
men on Puget Sound for many years
past have been lax in the matter of re-
newals OF licenses granted only after
inspection at the hands of the United
States inspectors of bulls and boilers,
and oftentimes have allowed licenses
to expire before making application for
renewal, in the meantime operating
their vessels without any license what

months after the old one then on hand
had expired.
From this date the laws covering the
subject, and which involve heavy fine

rigidly enforced, and it behooves steam
toat owners and masters'to make appli-
cation and secure inspection and license
prior to the date OF expiration of pres

No vessel has the right to turn a

her certificate of such inspet ton is
posted in conspicuous place on board,
and in future any vessel found with a
license which has expired and without

This action is taken principally for

SMALLER NAv|ES.
EngIishmen Discuss the Matter in
the House of Com.
mons.

London, May 16.-The question of
the reduction of naval ornaments came
up again in the house of commons dur
ing discussion of the estimates. The
speakers suggested that the government
take the first step in proposing reduc-
ton to other powers.
Sir Charles Dixie, advanced Radical,
said he thought this might be possible,
in view of the improved relations be-
tween Great Britain and France. for
those two nations might talk tho mat
ter over and subsequently approach
Russia. Even if Germany did not
agree to a reduction, the three great
powers might effect something. 1t was
not necessary for Great Britain to build
against the United States. 1t would
be as great mistake to count on the
United States as an enemy as to count
on her as an active ally, for the United
States has always been the great de-
fender of the rights of neutrals. Mr..
Arnold-Forster, the admiralty secre-
tary, pointed out that it was the duty
of the admiralty to deal with facts as
tney were anu HOt dS tney mIknt De,
said that all the great powers were IN
creasing their maritime preparations,
mainly Russia. According to the avail
able figures, France and Russia togeth-
er were now building three more bat
tleships than Great Britain. The ac-
tual force in ships which could be ar
rayed against Great Britain ought to be
the guiding principle. He denied that
the admiralty's proposals were in ex-
cess of the requirements of the county.
The secretary added that he would not
on that occasion express any view with
regard to the position as affected by
the United States. "That was grave
consideration which in future would

WILL SETTLE sQUABRLE.
President May Use McCullOch for
Sound Trip.

Seattle, May 13.-The Times says:
President Roosevelt has himself TAX
en- hand in the settlement of the I'M
seemly controversy between the Seattle
and the Tacoma committees over who
shall entertain him while he is on his
tour of Puget Sound. In order to be
prepared to act independently of both
committees in case they are not able
to settle the matter he has ordered the
revenue cutter McCulloch to he prepar
ed for that service and to proceed to
Tacoma there to hold herself in readi-
ness to carry the president on his Puget
Sound tour. The order has already
been issued to the commander of the
McCulloch to be prepared for the ser
vice in question, and to provide him
self with the flag of the president, in
case the president shall decide to use
that vessel.
Should the president decide to avail
himself of the use of the revenue cut
eter it will effectually settle the con-
troversy. Neither committee will have
any appeal, and the only way any of
the members of either can accompany
the president on his Sound trip will be
as his guests.
But it is not anticipated that the
controversy will go so far as to compel
go radical a change in the plans OF the
committees. When they come to APP
preciate that on account of their squab-
bling the president is on the point OF
declining the proffered hospitality OF
both committees, it is probable that
they will get together in sone form and
settle on some plan which is mutually
agreeable and which will be satisfactory
to the president as we'll.

hymn and the congregation sang 1t.
Although he had long been too feeble
to go to church, his opinions still found
their way to the people.

playing this summer" an unwary Wis
itor remarked to the deacOn's daughter
in the old mans hearing. THAT
teacher from Boston is going to play
every Sunday while Annie Trumbull
is off taking a vacation"
The deacon raised his stick and his
auavering voice at the same time.
"You send for the minister to come
here and see me, Daughter Mary" he
said as clearly as he could. Il won't
have such goings on! A musician
playing on that organ! Let 'em &C
without till Annie Trumbull gets home
