CHALLENGE TO MARTIN

W. l.. Royal, in a speech and in news
paper publication, declared that the
charges that Senator Martin had been
first elected to the Senate by thecorrupt
use of money has never been investigated
and disproved, for the reason that "A
legislative committee had adopted a
resolution limiting the scope of the inquiry
to the actions OF the principals, against
whom nothing was proven.
IL understand, said Mr.. Royal, that
Senator Martin feels aggrieved at my ut
terances. Now wish to make him this
proposition: will appoint one man, he
another, and the two shall select a third
to arrange for a Joint debate. the subject
OF which shall be the methods employed
to elect him to the Unit ID States Senate.
/ will then say to his face what have
already said in his absence. and ne can

that Senator Martins friends. and
that the newspapers which have ELI
listed in his support. should resent
the unjust attacks upon theirfavOrite
by the candidate opposed To him.
and it is claimed that the Governor
is responsible for this unfortunate
condition in the present Democratic
campaign. because of the fact that
newspaper attacks upon him did not
begin until he had inaugurated that
method; and further. it is pointed
out that there is a total absence OF
such attacks as to the candidates ior
every other important office. because
no other candidates have INDUCED IN

Naval Officers Interested in Recon-
mendations of Secretary 8
Bonaparte.

Washington. D. c., Nov. 23.-Naval
interest to the recommendations up
on which Secretary Bonaparte is at
work respecting the increase of the
navy. He is known to favor battle
ships and torpedo boats, and it is ex-
naval sentiment, which seems now
to be against any other type of ships,
especially the old time commerce de
stroyers and gunboats. 1t is held
among some of the Secretary's ad-
visers that the service has enough
of the ships of the armored cruiser
and the gunboat class, and as evi-
dence of this examples are given Of
the policy of sending to the navy
yards the ships of such types which
are considered as no longer availa-
BILE for duty. In nearly every case
where it has been a question of the
repair of a ship of war of the inter
mediate type, the department has de-
termined there shall be only such
work done as will prevent the ship
from deteriOrating, and no provision
is made for restoring the ship for
active duty. With this state of af-
fairs before the Secretary, he is like
ly to accept the view that the service
shall be maintained by having battle
ships and torpedo boats provided for
in the next naval bill. 1t is understood
that Secretary Bonaparte, while he
intends to follow this policy, will not
adopt the numerical proportions sug-
gested by the general board.

rather than another
Policy of the Government.
All the conditions have been full
filled, though somewhat tardily, by
the people of the valley. and while
the secretary is vested by law with
full discretion in beginning work,
still this project has been given a GER
tain status by act of congress that is
not possessed by some other projects
In May of this year the policy of the
department of the interior regarding
the Rio Grande project was announc-
ed to be to ascertain 0by taking of
pledges) if there were sufficient land
in New Mexico and Texas irrigable
from the Engle dam to return the
cost of the project to the govern
ment, and then, if upon careful study
all other details were found favorable
that there shall be begun under the
terms of the reclamation act, after
customary approval of the secretary,
certain definite part of the construc
ton which it is possible to complete
as a portion of the whole project
This authorization will insure a con-
tinuation of active operations lead
-ng up to the ultimate construction
Of the Engle dam, but does not in
my way interfere with or complicate
he international questions involved
N the matter" This quotation is
made from an official statement
made last May.
Our people having complied with
he conditions it is to be expected
hat the secretary will order the re-
,lamation service to proceed with "a
certain definite part Of the construc-
ion Thus the first allotment of
funds might be comparatively small,
4 few hundred thousand dollars, and
vet the beginning of actual work
would constitute a commitment of
he government to the whole project,

hope for just nova start-but that

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT
WILL ALSO INVESTIGATE.
Will Follow American Example BY
Looking Into the Methods of
Insurance Companies.


Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 23.-Although
no definite announcement has been
made to that effect, it is understood
in we'll informed circles that the Can
adian government is at present SER
iously considering the advisability of
following the example of the Ameri-
can governments and institUting an
investigation of the methods of the
Canadian insurance companies. 1t is
privately conceded that the coming
session of the Dominion parliament
will witness an investigation into the
whole subject This inquiry will pro
badly be undertaken by a special par
liamentary committee having power
to summon witnesses. In his last re-
port to parliament the superintendent
of insurance for Canada pointed out
the necessity for the amendment of
the insurance law, which is not now
suited to the requirements of the bu-
siness. Before the law is amended
the inquiry will be held, which will
lay bare any irregularities and re-
store public confidence in the stabil-
ity of the Canadian institutions which
have suffered as a result of the rev
elaticns in New York.
