Committee on Naval Affairs Will
Begin "Non-Partisan Campaign"
to Change Present Methods at
Coming Session of Congress.

Representative John F. Rixey, of Vir-
sinia, member of the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs, passed through
Washington yesterday on his way home
from the tour of inspection with tho
other members of the Naval Committee.
In discussing the trip and the condition
OF the navy yards visited. Mr.. Rixey
said:
The chief result of our observations
is that the committee, or rather those
members that were on the tour of in
spcs;ion, came unanimously to the con-
clusfon that the organization and man.
agement of the navy yards needs a
thorough overhauling.
The bureau system has resulted in
the duplication OF buildings and dupli-
cation OF officers at nearly all the yards.
Officers and Yards Duplicated.
For instance. in some of the yards
there are three power plants. three
blacksmith shops. three foundry plants,
etc. where there is necessity for only
one at each yard. Often there are more
officers than are needed.
Another thing that struck US is the
uselessness of having a yard at BOSTON
and another at Portsmouth, n. H., fifty
miles away. 1t is more than probable
that the committee will recommend that
one OF these yards be abolished

Holds Russia's Pledge to
Open Manchurian Ports.
INFORMATION WAS WITHHELD
State Department Listened to Pekin
Dispatches With Satisfied
Composure.

The satisfied composure with which
ports from Pekin that China Will not
open ports in Manchuria is we'll founded
The fact has just developed that Rus
STA gave a written pledge to the United
States to open certain Manchurian ports.
This formal pledge is carefully filed
away in the archives OF the State Depart
ment. The written assurance is posi-
tive and comprehensive.
Russia gave this solemn pledge be-
cause of a strong desire to placate the
United States and prevent an alliance
with Japan in the event OF war between
that country and Russia. All the efforts
of Russian diplomacy have been exert
ed to so adjust matters with this Gov
eminent that no assistance shall be
given japan when the Oriental crisis
is reached.
Aid for Japan.
The support of Great Britain is to be
given Japan only in case more than one
power engages her in war at the same
time. II the United States can be placed
in a neutral position. Great Britain can
not join forces with Japan should war
break out. This is the Russian view.
At the same time it can be said there
has never been the slightest possibility
that the United State would actively
support Japan. The attitude OF this Gov
eminent would be one OF absolute neu-
trality.
Russian foreign Office leaders did not
understand this. and desired to take no
chances Hence the United States was
placated by written assurances that
Manchurian ports will be opened.

And Other Information Coming by
 Way of Douglas.

Douglas. AriZ.. Dec. 15.-(Special correspondent of The Eepublican.-The Douglas cigar factory will soon be en- I1rged. Two prominent Douglas men, l.. C. Hanks. cashier of the First Ma tionaI bank and Alfred Paul. a we'll known capitalist who was formerly in business in this city, have bought an interest in the firm. Alfred Paul will be the manager and he will travel in the interests of the company. The new firm IS t0 be incorporated, and is to ba
 known as the Douglas Cigar Co, ln- corporated About the first of the, coming year the factory will move into larger quarters in the Pirtle- Douglas building, on G avenue. The number of cigar makers will be in- creased from five to fifteen and the daily output from l20O to 4O0O cigars. Genaro Mengs is to be continued as superintendent e the manufacture of the cigars. He is Spaniard by birth and is sgid to be enc of the finest cigar makers in the southwest. Formerly he held the same position with Las Dos NaciOnes Cigar company. at NOgales, and it is generally conceded that the popularity Cf the latter brand of cigars was due principally to his services while connected with that company. The Douglas cigars have recently grown so much in popularity that they are iu demand here. and elsewhere. and the increase in business is very fattering This industry is one Of which Douglas is proud.
 The population of Bisbee is 10,062. F.. N Buck. the directory man. who is here publishing a directory of, Douglas and Bisbes has completed the figures. and says that the above is a very close estimate. He says, further. that it is the first correct estimate of the population of Bisbes ever made. Ac- cording to these figures.
