RULE OF THE PACIFIC

An Interesting Debate in the English House of Commons During Dis- cussion of Johnny Bulls
 Naval Estimates.

London, June 2e.-During the discuss sion of the naval estimates in the House of Commons today Edmund Robertson, a former civil lord of the admiralty, asked for further informa- tion concerning the new battleshlps. MT. Prettyman, secretary of The ad- miralty, replied 1engthily, claiming the highest efficiency for the navy under the new scheme. He declined for stragetic reasons to give particulars of the new battleships. but said Great Britain proposed to lead and not fol- low other nations fin naval constructor.
 Sir John Colomb (Conservative) said he did not agree with the opposition speakers in saying the time had come when the naval expenditure might be reduced. On the contrary Sir John said everything pointed to the necessity for keeping up the naval strength of Great Britain. The real question now was who is going to rule the Pacific ?' President Roosevelt said the United States intended to rule the Pacific. The United States was giving every sign that this was her intention by the ex- traordinary increase in her navy.
 Sir John declared that In the near future questions would arise in the Pacific affecting the policy of Japan, the United States and Great Britain. He asked what Great Britain was doing against the time when her interests ceased to be identical with those of the two great powers whose naval bases were in the Pacific. No one believed that the Anglo-Japan alliance would last forever. Great Britain looked with dread and horror to a rupture with the United States, but she could not shut her eyes to the fact that ruptures had occurred between the most frinedly nations Sir John asked what the government was doing to remind Canada and the British colonies of the great responsibilities which they would incur when their seaports and imme- diate interests in the Pacific were threatened.
 Mir. Prettyman. replying, said Great Britain did not desire the mastery of any sea beyond securing and equal op- portunity for British trade in this without fear or favor.
 With regard to the new battleships Mir. Prettyman said the lessons taught by the naval warfare in the Far East were closely taken to heart by the Ad- miralty.

A 3s-calibre Colts old-tyle cap and ball pistol with an interesting history has just been presented to the State by Mrs J & % piiIsrd Hlsryes of @ Montgomery County.
 The weapon was the personal prop erty of Capt. Henry Wirz; who com com on at Andersonville. Ga, and who was hanged after trial by courtmarttai TOT mistreatment of Union soldiers.

 It Is noteworthy that Director Thom- as M. Owen, of the Department of Arch ives and History. has in his book racks an interesting volume entitled. The Southern Side, or Andersonville Pris- on,' in which the charges against Captain Wirz are refuted and in which it is proved that the treatment of Union soldiers at Andersonyille was not as severe as the treatment of Con- federate soldiers in Northern prisons. The book was compiled by pr. R. Ram dolph Stevenson from original docu- meats. and was published in 1876. pr. stevenson was chief surgeon of the Confederate Military Hospital at An dersonvilie.
 The pistol in the possession of the Department of Archives and History is the weapon with which the prosecu- tors of Captain Wirz claimed he put to death many Union soldiers impris- oned at Andersonville.

HIS VOTE SAVED IMPEACHMENT.
Pension Granted to Former Senator Who Saved President Andrew
 Johnson from Trouble.

Albuquerque. N. M-Edmund G. Ross, the man whose vote. as United States Senator from Kansas, saved President Andrew Johnson from i'm peachment. has been granted a pension of $S0 q month by Congress.
 It was because of his services in Union armies during the civil war that his name has been added to the pension rolls. Doubtless it would have been placed there long before but for the bitterness aroused against him by his historic vote.
 Ex-Senator Ross Is now living quiet ly upon his little fruit farm on the out skirts of this city. He Is still vigor- ous and healthy at the age of IS years, and saws wood nearly every day for exercise.
 Among his neighbors he is known as Governor Ross, having served a term as Governor of the Territory of New Mexico by appointment of Presi- dent Cleveland.
 Reports get into circulation now and then that exSenator Ross Is passing his declining years in abject poverty, setting type for a meager livelihood upon an Albuquerque newspaper.
 After the expiration of his Senato- rial term in 1871 MT. Ross fell upon hard times for many years, because of the bitterness of public opinion against him in the West. He started several newspaper ventures. but none succeed ed.
 Finally quitting his State, he at tempted similar enterprises In Indian Territory, but with little more suc- cess At last he located in New Mex leo, where he has since lived.
 He is now passing life's last autumn serenely and in comfort, with his son, Pitt Ross, and the latter's family Nothing can induce him to leave his green orchards, his woodpile. and his sunshine. His hours are spent wan dering about his little farm, sitting on his porch, or reading In his library.

 Tt was given to me, by my vote. to spare the country from everlasting discredit and defeat, something that might have become a dangerous prece- dent for periods Of public frenzy like that of 1888.
 ''Why did I vote to acquit Johnson? Because none of the charges against him was proven" said Mir. Ross. the other day, in response to an inquiry.
