BRAZIL WOULD RESENT 1T.
Military Expedition Being Organized
in Paris.

Regarding the recent reports from Paris
that a syndicate had been organized there
and had purchased four steamships for the
purpose of carrying a military expedition
to the territory between the Oyapoc and
Araguary rivers. 1t is understood that the
Brazilian government will resent any such
action as the sending of an expedition to
what 1t is claimed is Brazilian territory.
1t was this territory which was awarded
to Brazil in December. 1900. by the Swiss
government. which acted the arbitrator
in the litigation over the territory. and re-
fused the French claim to it, 1t IS the be-
lief of the Brazilian government that any
aggression on this territory by France
would constitute infringement of the
Monroe doctrine which not only Brazil
but the United States also should object to.

PROMOTING WARRANT OFFICERS

Secretary Moody has approved the bill
pending in the House of Representatives
relating to the promotion of warrant Of
flcers in the navy, and providing, among
other things, that warrant officers found
qualified shall be promoted to the grade Of
ensign after two years service as warrant
officers instead of after six years service,
as required by the existing statute.
II regard it as desirable" says Secretary
Moody, in letter to the Senate naval COM
mittee in regard to the bill, that these
promotions should be made before the Of
ficers concerned are too old to perform the
duties that Will follow promotion. The age
of warrant officers when they are promoted
to the grade of ensign is greater than that

the selection quoted will partially correct
this disparity.

BARRACKS ON THE IsTHMUs.
Cost to Be betrayed From Appropria
tions Made,

The controller of the treasury has re-
ceived communication from the Secretary
of the Navy, who. after quoting section s
of the act of June %, 1902, which author
lied the construction of an isthmian canal
and its defenses, and approprates ten mil
lion dollars toward the project, says:
After conference with the President on
the subject this department proposes to
keep on or near the Isthmus of Panama,
for the defense of said canal, harbors
and defenses,' tive battalions of marines,
each consisting of about 415 men and Of
ficers Provisions must be made for the
temporary housing of these men in bar
racks of some sort while on this duty,
which may be of extended duration mas
much as protection of this character will
perhaps be required during the entire pc
Rod of the construction of the canal
at is considered desirable that both OF
these battaions should not be on duty at
the same time, but that they should be SO
placed as to relieve such other alternately
about every two or three months, as health
conditions and the exigencies of the serv-
ice may require and in pursuance of this
policy, 1t is desirable that accommodat tons
should be provided for one of the battalions
at some point which, while more healthful,
is at the same time readily accessible
The recently acquired naval station at
Guantanamo appears to meet these condi-
tons.
Under the circumstances above recitsd
your opinion is requested as to whether
the expense of making temporary provi-
sion on the isthmus and at the naval sta
ton, Guantanamo. or elsewhere in the
neighborhood as may be found expedfent
for the battalions of marines referred to-
may be betrayed from appropriations con-
tanned in the act above cited"
The controller decided that the cost OF
this work may be betrayed from the ap.
preparation indicated.

nection with the post office cases.

TO BUILD GOOD ROADS
ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF GIVING
FEDERAL AID.
Hearing Before the Senate COMMITTEES
on Agriculture-Laws Of
the State.

The report Of the hearing on roads and
road building recently given by the Senate
committee on agriculture to the committee
OF the National Good Roads Association
has just been issued. AS the leading advo-
Gates of national aid to road improvement
had their say, G-.her before the committee
or in statements submitted, it Is fair to as
sumo that the report contains the best ar
guments that can be offered in favor OF the
so-called Observation-Disclosures road BILL
State Senator Harper of Iowa read the
resolutions adopted by the national good
roads convention at st. Louis last April.
Congress- he said. had been emptying mil
lions into rivers and harbors. With this he
found no fault, but he thought 1t about
time for the lawmakers of the nation to
devote some attention to the common roads,
which are in deplorable condition.
Cost of Transportation.
Samuel Hill of the state of Washington
denied the statement that the automobiles
and not the farmers were behind the move
ment for federal aid. He said transporta-
ton by rail in the United States only costs
Y cents a ton per hundred miles, while in
Germany it costs s.. 80, and in France, 81
But in the United States it costs more than
twice as much to haul products to market
over the common roads as it does in France
In Europe the people had the aid of the ma
tional governments in building roads.
Among the other speakers who argued
along similar lines were F. III. Hyatt OF
South Carolina, Judge J. B. Killebrew Of
Tennessee, George W. Cooley of Minnesota.
Prof. Lewis, M. Haupt of the former 18TH
milan canal commission and H. P. Gillette
of New York.
Statements Filed.
At the close of the hearing the committee
asked the representatives of the Good
Roads Association to prepare and file addi-
tional statements, including cost of trans
portation over common roads of different
kinds, and summary of the road laws in
force in the United States and in foreign
countries These additional statements make
up the bulk of the report just issued.

a Mr.. Brezet who is said to be in Paris,
and who announced himself there some
weeks ago as the president of the republic
of Cunani. Brazil Indignantly denies the
existence of such state. and in Brazilian
quarters it is limited that the Brazilian Of

of certain citizens in French Guiana. Bra

The Washington government has not
been advised of the pretensions of Mr..

Danger in the Lehigh Valley.

Much Damage was uOue up tio i@ciH, A.
valley last night. Several dams broke
under the awful pressure of ice and water
and the torrent swept down the valley at
terrific rate. Fortunately the Delaware
was not HIGH and the waters soon ran off
and were swallowed by the latter stream.
Rain fell in torrents last night, and unless
the weather should get suddenly colder one
of the most destructive floods in the his
tory of the Delaware valley is predicted
There may not be much water as there
was last October, when the greatest flood
OF century occurred, but the Ice that Is
sure to accompany the flood will do much
more damage.
