ARrILLERY POORLY MANNED.
Badly Deficient in Both Personnel and
Material, Says Chief.

Badly Deficient in Both Personnel and
Material, Says Chief.
Both the coast defense and field ar
tillery are badly deficient in both per-
sonnet and material, neither is in even
proximately proper condition for in
struction in time of peace, much less
in condition for reasonably efficient
service in war, and the time necessary
to put either in the latter condition is
not matter of days or weeks, but Of
years"
Brigadier General Arthur Murray,
chief of artillery, thus summed up the
condition of his arm of the service in
his annual report made public Monday.
ne says it can not be too strongly
urged that appropriate legislation be
obtained to make good the deficiencies
and to correct the defects referred to.
The total cost of the present system
of coast defense of the United States
to February 81, last, General Murray
says was $72,750, 1905, and the esti-
mated cost to complete the defense of
the United States, including estimates
for ammunition and cost of supplies,
etc, is $5O,S79,SS9 The deduction is
made that clearly more than half the
work Of coast defense has been COM
pleted.
1.-THE proper defense Of insular ports
and the entrances to the Panama can
al, is is estimated, will cost $19,879,-
S95 for the former, and $4828,928 for
the latter. The value of the submarine
mines as an element of harbor de-
Tense, General Murray says, has been
demonstrated and he maintains the
view that the system adopted by the
United States army is practically per
feet as war weapon. Being under
complete electrical control from the
shore, he says, line Of mines may be
rendered instantly destructive to an
enemy or harmless to passing friendly
vessels. Therefore, he adds, having
so many guns and mortars already
mounted in the United States, the
greatest amount of harbor defense al
the least cost it was believed could be
accomplished by the completion of the
mine defense of all fortified harbors
of the United States.

Marie coreIli Scores Her Sex for
Weakness.
Chicago.-A special from London to
the Tribune says:
Marie Corelli, through her profound
contempt for man in every aspect re
mains undiminished, does not believe
in woman suffrage She claims that
she can direct so mems votes at cleo
ton in any way she schooses, but her
power would be destroyed if she had
a vote of her own.
'If," she says, woman has the nat
ural heritage of her sex, the mystic
power to persuade, enthrall and subJu-
gate man. she has no need to come
down from her throne to mingle in any
of his political trays"
She scores women remorselessly for
allowing herself to be given away in
fashion papers.
There" she says, man sees woman
as the fool rampant. She is depicted
as semibald, holding her wig in one
hand, ready to put it on. She is shown
in half nude state, thin and scraggy
but again unblushingly holds artif-
cially nodded plump portions of her
body, which nature failed to supply
in readiness to fasten over the hollow
places. She is exhibited plainly and
pililessly as a swindle.
do women imagine that men ever
look at such papers? Never perceive
the bold, prominent challenge of the
degraded advertisement which in
struct them as to what painted, pow
dered, padued, dyed, frizzled, shame
less creature a woman may be and
often is?
"a careful study of our modern lady
picture magazines will convince the
male suffrage advocates that the mod
ern woman is not yet ready for the
ballot
