Continuous Warship

By GEORGE DEWEY. Admiral U. $. n

Such policy would be RETROGADE in its char

In this connection permit aude compilation which has
been issued by the Office of naval intelligence This shows that

includes ships of 10000 displacement more is:
"Great Britain, SO; Germany 20 France, 49,; UNITED

CoRUR p,ALENE THE CAPITAL.

At the Commercial club banquet
some OF the speakers suggested that
Occur d'Alene ought TO be made the
capital OF the proposed new state Of
Lincoln. The Representatives of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce who
were present stated that their city
was not after the honor and did not
want II, but would be- content to see
1t 90 to one Of the other towns.
The new state Of Lincoln at the
present time Is dream; but It will
become a reality, and there Is no
reason why Occur d'Alene should not
be after the capital when that time
comes, II publicity through the news
papers IL Of any value, because the
Press will be in,the fight for this city
whore the battle 10 hottest.
For natural advantages Occur d..
Alene has no rival In a capital fight.
Situated on the most attractive body
Of water In the west, Nesting in the
bosom Of the mountains, with all the
grAndufe Of natural surrounding,
setting Of such great beauty, It's at
tractions will prove great factor in
the fight, and 20 far a. these features
are concerned no one would dipute
our superiority. Accessibility would
be another drawing card. Located
within an hours ride Of Spokane,
and electric trains running every hour
Of the day, making connections with
tho steam and network Of electric
railways radiating from that city to
all points In the new state, Occur d.
Alene WOULD be within easy reach Of
ell places. People could visit the
greatst city 10 the new state, come to
the capital to transact their business
and return home IN q few hours
There are q number OF other advan-
tages, but these may be considered
the important ones.

HOME RULE BILL IS DISAPPOINTING Halfway Measure Not Pleas ing to Any Political
 Party. BUT LITTLE sELF-RULE Crown Still Maintains Con trol of the Con-
 stabulary.
BUT LITTLE sELF-RULE

London May 7.-The government to- day presented its long awaited Irish bill to the house of commons and the country. This bill Is designed to meet the demands for Irish home rule. It was presented by the chief secretary for Ireland, MT. Birrell, to a crowded house. Prior to the appearance of this measure 1t was popularly termed a "de- volution bill" but to-day it Is referred to as the Irish council bill," or even the Irish bill''
 Compared with the home rule bills of 1886 and 1896 the measure of to-day confers little self-government upon Ire- land, merely giving to the council con- trol of the eight departments now man. aged by government boards. The coun- ell is to be appointed by the crown and while the lord lieutenant of Ire- land is given power to nullify It's meas tres the crown retains control of five of the eight departments, including the constabulary. The control of this branch always has been thorn in the flesh of the Irish people.
 It Is natural, and quiet to be expect ed, that this half way measure is wholly pleasing to no political party. The unionists regard 1t as a step to- ward home rule, They object to giving to Ireland the management of many departments of local affairs, while the Irish members of the House of Com mons retain the right to legislate in similar affairs for England and Scot land They criticise also the plan of government by council through eight committees as complicated and cum bersome The railroads are disappoint- cd that the measure falls so far short of actual home rule, and the Irish members are even more disappointed with it.
 The Irish leaders, however, are maintaining diplomatic attitude un- til they have time to study the provi- giofls of the ,bill, and learn the senti- / ment of the people.

HOLD CONVGCATION. IN NASHVILLE CHURCH Splendid Addresses at Quar- terly Meeting of Epis-
 copal Clergymen.

| The quarterly convocation of the Episcopal churches of New Haven
 county was held at St. James church,
 Westville, yesterday, and was well at tended by the clergymen of this order
 from this and some surrounding coun-
 ties. The convocation was opened at | Il a. m. with sermon by the Rev. Pas cal Narrower, of Brighton, on the sub ject Church Duty to the Children in the Matter of Devotional Education" The sermon was a very earnest one and impressed those present with the enlarging duty of the church in this direction.
 Following the morning sermon a short business meeting was held, and at noontime the ladies of St. James church served an excellent lunch.
 The afternoon conference began at o'clock. Addresses were made by guests from various archdeaconrles of the state The principal paper was read by Archdeacon Buck, of Derby, his subject being Why Has Not the Ministry More Candidates?" MT. Buck took a somewhat unusual stand on this matter. Among the things that he urged was that the laymen of the churches should make the ministry a I more lucrative and dignifled function.
 The convocation was very successful l in every way and the guests owe a debt of gratitude to Rev. MT. Sexton and the ladies of St. James church for | the hosptable entertainment given them. The dean of the convoeation was Rev. Mir. Buckley, rector of Trim ity church, Waterbury
