 Finally. Mir. Bryan deplores what he calls the presidents warlike attitude. He says in conclusion: -There will be great disappointment at the warlike tone of the message where it discusses the army and navy. He speaks of the navy as the surest guarantee of peace which this country possesses. Sham on the chief executive that he should place an instrument brute force above the nations sense of justice as a guar antee of peace. Peace is our nations purpose. to deal justly with other na- tions. War ought to be the last re- sort, not the first consideration It's bad enough to have few professional soldiers. It is not necessary that tho whole nation should be keyed up all the time to the fighting point"

BOTH GOOD
 AND WORSE
Bryan's Comment On the
 Presidents s Message
The Best Part He Said Was the Democratic POr- tiOn of It.

Lincoln. Neb.. Dec. 6.-CommentinS on Roosevelts message. William Jen- nings Bryan says there is much that is good and much that is bad, but It may be regarded as the presidents most important paper.
 NIT. Bryan says: The message con- tains much that is democratic for which the general public will thank him. It contains some things that ought to arouse severe criticism. The president boldly appropriates some doctrines which the democrats have been advocating but on the other hand announces doctrines which are so ab Q surd as to excite amusement if com ing from a less prominent source. Some parts of the message take an ad- vance ground already taken"
 Mir Bryan complains that the pres ident on the subject of government by injunction will not be satisfactory to laborinC men or those who respect the rights of trial jury. The presidents g stand on child labor is commended, as also is his position on the eight hour labor and the right of the people tO critcise and judge.
 Of Roosevelt's reference to the Japa- nese question, Mir. Bryan says: He pays a deserved tribute to the progress of Japan. That there should be such legislation as he recommends can not be generally disputed, but a great deal depends on the character of the legis-

RECOMMENDATIONS MADE
 FOR MORE EFFICIENT NAVY
The Report of a Board Appointed to
 Suggest ReyiSiOns
It Advises Change In the List so That Officers Will Not Die of Old Age In the Rank of Midshipman.

Washington, Dec 6.-The examina- ton Of the navy list discloses a condi- ton of affairs under the present law, that seriously affects the efficiency 0f the service and constitutes a grave menace if not a positive danger to pub he interests. This statement is briefly the conclusion of the naval personnel board under the presidency of Assist ant Secretary Newberry, appointed last August to suggest such a modifi- catiOn in the law affecting the con- missioned personnel of the new navy as might seem advisable.
 The board recommends a remedy for two serious evils, namely. the absence If opportunity for officers of the flag rank to familiarize themselves by ac- tual experience, with their duties as commanders of fleets. in the short time to elapse before their retirement for age; also an impending period of great stagnation in promotion. The board says that unless congress takes imme- diate action, the lower grades of serv- ice will become so congested that a midshipman now in one of the lower classes at Annapolis may possibly not be promoted to become a lieutenant until he is between 45 and 50 years old.
 The board regards as important that there should be three vice admirals and twenty-One rear admirals on the active list.

RESOLUTIONS OF INQUIRY.
The Senate Addresses Two on the Sub-
 jeet of Negro Troops.

Washington, D. C. Dec. 6.-The sen- ate adopted the Penrose resolution ask ing the president for information re- garding the discharge of the negro troops of the Twenty-fifth infantry and also the Foraker resolution directing the secretary of war to transmit infOr- nation on the same subject. Both res Olutions carried an identical amend ment by Senator Culberson, asking specially for an order to Major Pen rose. commanding the troops which di- rected him not to turn over to the Tex as authorities certain troops demanded
 This action followed a two hours de- bate on the propriety of asking the president for information or directing the secretary of war to furnish it. MT. Foralzer produced the printed testimO- ny of the case, extracts of which he read to show, as he said. that 1t was unsatisfactory, incomplete. and of a flimsy character" Mir CulbersOn took an opposite view, but both agreed that with unsatisfactory information" ii was useless to discuss the case. Mir. Penrose introduced his resolution in the interest of a negro constituency of Pennsylvania that had addressed it to the president. Because the action had been by the president he regarded it as a matter of courtesy to ask him for information.
 During the debate a report was cur rent among the senators that the pres ident had felt that 1t would be a mat ter of courtesy if resolution should be addressed to himself and so strong it was said. was this feeling on his part. that he had intimated that unless this course was taken there would be no re- sponse.

Twenty-fifth in- fantry. Two resolutions adopted ac- complish this request, one to the presi- dent and the other to the secretary of war.
 This action followed debate of two hours in which the merits of the dis charge of the soldiers received atten- | ton.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama, devot- ed two hours to a discussion of his resolution>to secure control of the Pan anna railroad by the isthmian canal commission. No action was taken.

A FRISCO GRAND JUROR
 NATURALLY PRFJUDICtD
So Strong the Evidence of Municipal
 Graft the Foreman Says He Is Hardly Able to Proceed with Inquiry.

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-B. r. Oliver. nicipal graft investigation. was on the witness stand this afternoon. In reply to questions by attorneys for Duffy and Nichols as to whether the grand juror had any bias or prejudice against the defendants. Oliver said: From the testimony I have just heard in the grand jury room am convinced that the corruption of the present municipal administration is so great that any one of the grand jury will hardly be able to complete thorough investiga- tion. The more testimony I hear tn } more I am astonished at the conditions which obtain in the municipal govern- ment."
 Oliver stated that he WIS not preju- diced against Duffy from what had been transacted in the grand jury room. On the contrary. he said he felt sympathy for Duffy. whom he consid- cred only a tool in the hands of his employers.
 Something sensational developed when C. c. Burnett. secretary of the grand jury, testified that he had en- trusted the records of the grand jury to an employe of Assistant District At torney Heney. after being assaulted on Fillmore street. Burnett explained this by saying that he was in con- stant fear of assault, as rough looking characters brushed against him on hi.i way home with the records. He stated he believed they wanted to get possession of them.
 Mendel Rothenburg. another juror, volunteered a statement on the stan ' that he had seen no evidence of graf. on the part of the supervisors. The examination of the grand jurors will be resumed tomorrow morning.
 On five charges of extortion found against each of them, SchmitZ and Ruef were today arraigned in the su- perior court before Judge Dunne.
