12o MILLIONS PER YEAR.
What the Bill for Uncle Sans Navy
Would Look Like / the Event of War.

At a glance, the expenses of a naval
demonstration in the Pacific may seem
large. says Edwin Wi1dman, in the
Broadway Magazine. But when 1t Is
recollected that the richest nation on
earth is only guarding it's coasts and
the item of $1,000 a month
per hundred men. an estimate regarded
as conservative by laval authorities, or
$2,s0O,000 a month for 10000 men; or
S33, 500, 900, say $40,0 600. 900 a year for
our entire navy aioat in times of
peace, or $3.50. GOO. 900 per year in times
of war, the cost is not staggering In
comparison with the resources and pos
sible revenues of the United States. If
we add to this figure 500, 900, 900, an
increase for material per year. we have
a fair approximate of what it would
cost. exclusive of what would be spent
by the Navy Department for repairs on
shore, to meet a first class power at
sea.
Every first class battleship in the
navy is equipped with four twelve-inch
guns, which during an engagement
would fire a round a minute. so that
during every minute of battle for six
teen ships the cost would be $32, 900
for the twelve-inch guns alone, and
more than twice that sum for the en-
broadside from all Of the guns of ne
sixteen battleships headed for the Pa
cihc would cost not less than $4,000,
the salary of the President of the Uni
ted States for one year,
The annual cost of maintenance for
a single frst-class warship averages
$500, 900, or S. 900, 900 for the Pacific
fleet; while the cost of maintaining q
ship of the monitor class exceeds $780,
900; a gunboat. .$150,000; a ~torpedo-boat
destroyer. SIS 900; a. torpedo boat, $40.-
900, and a submarine. $50. 000.
A nation that can afford 1920, 600. 900
a year for a navy alone, or less than 50
per capita per annum, automatically
demonstrates its strength TO the world
and places itself in a position not easily
assailed. A sensational invasion OF the
Philippines. the taking of Hawaii and
Guam, would be the most fatal boom
erang to any WI essaying such a
policy.
Contemplating this possibility means
a proper realization by the government
Of the United States of the Obligation
II owes TO its S 5000 900 people and its
70. 900, 600 defenseless wards It

MARRYING IN FRANCE.
The F~renchman Is Generally Proud of
His Foreign Wife.

Wnen h American girl marries a
Frenchman she adapts herself very
easily and quickly to her new sur
roundings, criticises freely whatever
she doesn't like. expresses her opinion
about everything. discusses religious
n political matters quite simply, not
being hampered by family traditions
n the e of being NAL vue in her
new family, writes Mary King Wad-
dlngton in Scribner's. She Is always
ready to interest herself in her hus-
band's career, whatever it may be, and
willing and anxious to help him, but
she must help in her own way, not fol-
low the lines laid down by long years
of habit and influence.
The religious question is sometimes a
delicate one, when the wife is Pro-
testant and the husband C0holic,, par
ticularly If the children must be
brought up Catholics. / know Pro-
testant mothers who superintend the
children's religious education NEST con-
scientiously, wen going to mass with
them. The French father is quite salts
fled; he knows his wife will leep the
promise she has made. to bring the
children up Catholics, and will never
attempt to influence them toward her
W faith. AS a rule, Frenchmen, even
those who are not very ardent Catho-
lies, hold enormously to having their
children brought up in their own re-
ligion. 1t is strange how many become
lukewarm, if not absolutely Indifferent,
when they have passed their examina-
tons n learned to think for them
selves. 1 don't know if 1t is peculiar
to France or the Catholic religion. I
rather think it is the same now in all
countries. A spirit of doubt an6 criti-
cism seems in the air; no one believes
anything that can't be proved.
The Frenchman Is generally proud of
his foreign wife's intelligence and quick
perceptions, learns to value her opin-
ION sees that she is unlike his female
relations, lacking very often in some of
their good qualities. The American is
often a careless housekeeper, and to
the French mind always a careless
mother, leaving her children, boys par
ticularly, too much to themselves. She
lis, too, much less exact in social duties,
is not pursued by the idea that she
must pay visits on reception days and
must be very d%eferential to all the old
ladies of her acquaintance. I think one
of the prettiest things in France is the
respect for age.

BAD CROPS IN PORTO RICO.
Toe Little Rain-Growth Hampered by
Lack of Transportation Facilities.

Post. Governor of Porto Rico, was a
passenger on the steamship Phila-
delphia, which arrived yesterday. Gov
ernor Post said:
MY annual report is nearly finished.
The crop conditions are poor in Porto
Rico this year, owing to the severe
drought, and / fear they will be next
year. Our great trouble issthat we
have outgrown our transportation IA
ctltties. In the first year under civil
government u exports were $4,000
600, last year $45. 000, 900, and his year
$76,000,0 900, without improvement in
transportation. I shall urge the
dredging of the San Juan harbor and
the retaining of marsh lands by bulk
head and filing in with the material
dredged from the harbor. This will
give sQIne miles of space for handling
of vessels, We have only one wharf
there now, but we hope to have more
when the appropriations are avail
able"

ELKINS ACT STANDS
NOT REPEALED BY HEP
\ BURN LAW. SAYS COURT.
Appeal Of Great Northern Railroad IN
Rebate Cases Is Denied, and Heavy
Fine Is Expected to Be Imposed.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 24.-In an opin-
today by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting
in Denver, the judgment of the District
Court for Minnesota against the Great
Northern Railroad in the rebate cases
was virtually affirmed. The Circuit
Court holds that the Hepburn act is an
~amendatory and not a repeating act.
that In so far as it repeats or repro
duces portions of the Elkins act It
continues them in force and makes no
break in the law. and that in so far as
it omfts Or changes provisions OF the
Elkins act 1t repeats them.
Even admitting the granting of re-
bates, the Great Northern commended at
the trial, the Elklns act of 1908 making
it an offense and fixing punishment for
granting rebates was repealed by the
Hepburn act of 1906 in such a way that
hereafter there could be no prosecution
of officers committed prior to the pas
sage of the Hepburn law. The District
Court ruled against this contention OF
the railway and it appealed
to the Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Circuit Court of Appeals holds
that the special saving clause in the
Hepburn act does not mention the par-
ticuiar subject of the general saving
clause in section 3 of the revised stat
utes of the United States, ana as tho
special saving clause can have reason
able purpose. and operation without in
ringing on the provisions of the gem
eral saving clause, it>does not repeal
the latter. Thus the decision results in
an affirmation of the Judgment of tho
District Court, although in some re-
spects the Circuit Court of Appeals de-
clines to follow or accept the reason
ing or the grounds of the decision Of
the District Court. The decision was
written by Judge Vandeventer, and Is
c%oncurred in by Judges Adams ana
Riner.
The case originally was a criminal
prosecution against the Great Northern
Railway in the District Court of tho
United States for Minnesota, and the
offehses charged in the Indictment con-
sisted of granting rebates on each of
fifteen distinct carload shipments of
corn n oats shipped by a Minneapolis
dealer to Seattle during the months of
April, May, June and July, 1906. The
schedule of the railway at that time
fixed the rate on these commodities at
SO cents a 100 pounds, and the rebates
granted consisted of allowances rang
Ing from 10 to 20 cents a 100 pounds.
The maximum fine In this case is
$4,000 for each offense, Ind there are
over a dozen other cases of great Inn
portance awaiting the result of the de-
Kansas City cases in which the Ar
Cudahy, Swift and Morris pack
ing companies were each fined sis, 900
for accepting rebates, and the Standard
on Company's case involving a $29,-
600, 900 fine.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. A-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices to
a decline of 8 points. which was about as
due on the cables. Trading was active
and the market weakened right after the
call. with the active months declining to
a net loss of about . to 10 points under
continued liquidation and bear pressure,
which was encouraged by the favorable
weather in the South, apprehensions re-
garding the fate of October notices next
Friday and u~nfavorable rumors regarding
the condition of affairs in the cotton yarn
situation. There was heavy covering at
the decline, and prices during the middle
Of the morning were a few points up from
the lowest.
The market was steadier later in the
forenoon. with prices at midday about S
to 6 points net higher on buying BY wire
