COULD NOT FACE THE FACTS.
As'tasors for Tariff Revision Are
Heavily Handicapped.

The country has seemingly SO much
To do and is so prosperous that the
tarfn question has been lost sight of.
In some OF the western states and in
Massachusetts political agitators have
worked during the past six years to
stir the people To = frenzied demand
for the lowering OF import duties.
Their work appeared to be prompted
by political ambitions. but tariff rip
ping would not stand the debate.
Hence the men who made such howl
about the tariff for a time have turned
their attention to other things. They
could not face the facts OF a com.
merce growing at home and abroad.
No cause can be maintained before
the American people for any consid-
cradle time unless 1t Is just cause
Hence the death Of the anti-tariff agi
tation. In Iowa, where the so-called
Iowa idea" was born, there Is no.
body Mt the present time advocating
the lowering OF duties: they are even
silent on the reciprocity question.
Reciprocity is a species OF false pre-.
tense. In practice IL means robbing an,
betraying one line of industry for tn
benefit of another. Reciprocity In one
locality means n trade for the benefit
of that particular locality. regardless
or whose industry is destroyed For
time reciprocity was popular. but when

met the reciprocity of Iowa. which
sought to trade Off the manufacturer,
there was surprise on both sides And
both sides concluded they had better
quit. The tariff for the present is n
dead issue. The national Republican
convention next year will declare un.
equivocally for protection without
apology: will also declare for reel
procity in non-competitive articles

THE NAVY SENDS RELIEF.
BATTLESHIPS TO CONVEY SUP
PLIES TO KINGSTON.
Surgeons And Medical Supplies For The
Earthquake Sufferers.

The fearful earthquake which was
followed by n fire said to have destroy
ed Kingston, n thousand lives being
lost. has made il necessary for the
Navy to send relief. A dispatch says
Vessels of the United States Navy
have been detached from the American
fleet under the command of Admiral
II. ID. Evans, in command of the At
Iantic fleet, now maneuvering off the
Cuban coast, and sent 10 Kingston, to
render any aid possible to the people
of that city. At the request of ScSrc
tary of State Root, Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf yesterday cabled in
structions to Rear Admiral Evans to
send as many vessels as he thought
necessary TO Kingston.
Late Yesterday afternoon the Navy
Department received from Captain w.
II. Beehler, ,commandant of the station
at Key West, a wireless message, say
ing that Admiral Evans was on his
way to Kingston on the torpedoboat
destroyer whipple with medical assist
ance, and that the Missouri and In
diana were following. 1t is believed
the Admiral selected the Whipple be-
cause of her speed of 2S knots, which
assures the prompt arrival of sur
geons, while the slower battleships
will follow with stores and other
surgeons and medical supplies.
la regard to food supplies, it was
pointed out that by far the greatest
percentage of the Jamaican popula-
tion consist of negroes, who are aecus-
toned to eating little or no meat and
little flour, and subsist for the main
part on fruit and vegetables, which,
under ordinary conditions, the island
supplies in abundance. 1t is believed
the suffering is local to Kingston, and
that as soon rs the people recover
from their fright and tne raiwlay
across the island is again in operation
there will be no danger of famine.
At the same time, attention is called
by the officials of the Navy to the fact
that the Celtic is now on her way from
Havana to Guantanamo with gener-
Gus amount of food, and that the
Glacier, also loaded with food, has
left New York. The Prairie, with
2, 600 pounds of fresh beef and 10000
pounds of fresh vegetables, also sails
for the coast of Cuba in "A few days,
and ii is thought that there cannot fail
TO be plenty for all during the ext
gency.
The first official intimation of the
disaster came to the State Department
at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon in
a dispatch from the acting American
Consul.
Great anxiety is felt in Baltimore
and Westminster ..over the possible
fate of DR.. Lewis, president of West
ern Maryland College, who, with his
family, was in Kingston at the time
of the earthquake. a cable messag-
was sent to inquire for them, but no
answer has been received.

PURITY OF TONE.
Miss Laura Louise Combs Work In 0ratoriO
In Baltimore Last Night.

In commenting upon the work of
an Annapolis singer, Miss Laura
Louise Combs, the soprano soloist,
the Baltimore News of last night
contains the following:
baltimore S Oratorio Society sang
.'The Messiah last night at the
Lyric in a magnificent way. The big
choir has rarely been better balan-
ced, and the total tone was full, round
and inspiring. There was greater
freshness and fleixbiIlty in the fe
male voices than has been noticeable
in recent years, and all of the choruses
we're adequately and most of them
impressively sung.
Miss Combs, who sang the soprano
parts, has steadily progressed in her
musical work until she must now be
classed with the best singers of oratorio
music in the country. Her numbers
last night were delightfully."- given,
purity and sweetness of tone and fine
ness of musical sense being evidenced
i'm each of her solos. 1t would be
difficult to imagine any oratorio music
being more Fcapably rendered than the
combined numbers He Shall Feed
His Flock and Come Unto Him.
by Miss Munson and Miss Combs.
In expressiveness, in finish and in ar
tistic appreciation nothing more could
have been asked than was given by
these two singers. Miss Combs aria
Rejoice Greatly was also charming
" sung, its pearl-like notes coming
from her lips with purity and GER

PROFESSOR AN INVENTOR.
To James Monroe Is The Credit Given For
SmOkeIess Powder.

Again the discussion of smokeless
powder patents was uppermost ia
Congress yesterday, while the Forti-
fications Appropriation bill was. un-
der consideration.
Mr.. Gaines, OF Tennessee, told how
Professor Monroe had patented the
smokeless- powder process, having dis
covered it when he was filling the
chair of chemistry at the Naval
Academy, and also said patent was
taken out by John B. Barnardou,
while Barnardou was commissioned
officer in the Navy. Barnardou is
still in the service.
Mr.. Gaines quoted the Supreme
Court decision lin the Gill and Solo
mon case, that a patent taken out by
an officer for discovery made by
him in the line of duty belongs to
the Government. Mr.. Monroe, he
stated, had turned over his patent to
the United States, and yet ii was to-
day in the hands of a great powder
monopoly, land the Government is in
the throes of that monopoly But
so far as he could find out, Mr.. Bar
nardou had not turned his patent over
to the Government.
Professor Monroe is well remem-
bered here. where he made many
friends years ago, when he was pro-
fessor at the Naval Academy.

NO ARMY AQUATIC SPORTS.
ROWING TAb0ORD AT THE MIL
ITARY ACADEMY.
Wafer Is Found All Around But a Bit
of Rowing Crew.

All aquatic sport is tabooed at West
Point Military Academy, which has
positively refused to take up rowing
as spoit after receiving one Of the
most extraordinary offers ever made
TO any institution TO develop this par
tieular sport. For number of years
men interested in rowing at Annap-
oils and the Eastern universities have
wished ardently to see rowing estab-
lished at West Point. where there is
every facility for the development
of this form OF aquatic sport.
II was considered that the expense
of maintaining n crew would be the
biggest handicap TO overcome. Ac-
eordingly, offers were received from
several wealthy New Workers and
Philadelphians to present the Military
Acad my with a full rowing outfit, in
cluding shells, a boathouse and every
thing needful To the establishment of
rowing.
The matter was taken up with the
officials of the Academy by on of the
stewards of the intercollegiate Rowing
Association, whose annual regatta is
held on the Hudson at Poughks epsie.
Tne commandant of the Academy was
finally obliged 10 refuse the offer.
The reason he gave was that the cadets
would not have the necessary Time
to develop a crew.
This decision was a very great dis
appointment TO the stewards of the
Poughkeepsie regatta, as wtll as to
the stewards of the American Rowing
Association, who were fully anxious
to see West Point on the water. IL
was very much desired to have the ca
dets take part in both the American re-
gatta at Philadelphia on May p and
the Poughkeepsie regatta, n month
later. It is the aim of the stewards of
both these regattas to ultimately get
Annapolis TO row at one or both, and
nothing would be more fitting than TO
have the middies row against their
greatest rivals from West Point.
The stewards who carried this ex-
ceptional offer TO West Point are eX-
tremely disappointed over its non
acceptance. While they accept the
reasons given by West Point for not
being able to row, they point to the
manner in which Annapolis surmounts
these same difficulties. The mid
hipmen are also handicapped by lack
of time, since the ACADEMY officials
refuse to excuse the athletes from any
of their class work because of their
membership on the crew. In order TO
row at all the midshipmen have TO
utilize their rest hour from D TO 6
o'clock every night. There is no
other time during the day in which 10
row.
In view of this fact the record of
the middies is exceptional and is a
good indication of what West Point
could do if the consent of the officials
were secrued. Their location on the
Hudson would make the development
of crew very easy matter, and it
would be o trouble whatever to take
part in the Poughkeepsie regatta,
which is such short distance above
the Academy. 1t is likely that fur
ther attempts viii be made to inter-
est West Point in taking up rowing.
The offer of the rowing patrons to
present West Point with full equip
ment probably stands and under
different conditions may be accepted
later.

Too Few Veterans To Commemorate Memory

In compliance with a request con-
tanned in letter addressed the Neter-

federate Veterans, by Stephen ID. Lee,
General Commanding, there will be
a service held on Saturday, January
10, commemorative of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of
General Robert Il. Lee.
At first it was thought to have a SER
vice at st. Anne's, but as there are so
il was not deemed advisable. General

ready compliance with the request
of the people of Richmond that his
efforts be put forth to have a general
observance on Saturday, January 10,
1907, of the hundredth anniversary
of the birth of the immortal southern
leader, Robert Edward Lee.

try are made better citizens by the
contemplation of the glorious deeds
of their ancestry, and to us of the
south, whose leaders possessed in a
marked degree all that makes men
great, InlS Is particularly tIut. OcH-
eral Lee was the ideal personifcation
of a southern gentleman, and, whether
considered as a soldier, statesman
or Christian citizen, whether viewed
in the privacy of his family and So
cial life or in the fierce light that
beats upon a throne, he stands out
possibly the greatest character the
world has ever produced, and no oc-
casion should be lost to keep his mem
ory green and to induce the boys and
girls of the southland to emulate his
pure and holy life.
