STEAMER BLAMED
FOR COLLISION
Schooner Had Right of Way
Being Sailing Vessel
Crew and Captain of Harry Knowl
ton Tell of Seeing Steamer
Bearing Down.
ANOTHER PASSENGER DIES

New London, Conn, Feb. 16. -
In the strongest possible terms the
officers and two of the crew of the
schooner Harry Knowlton laid the
blame for the sinking of the Larcn-
mont and the great loss Of life upon
the officers of the passenger steamer.
Under maritime regulations a
sailing vessel always has the right of
way over a steam vessel and the eli
max of the testimony at today's be-
ginning of the inquiry by the federal
authorities into the Sound disaster
came with the evidence of Harry Co
van, the mate of the schooner. In
telling now the captain of the sailing
vessel came upon the deck and learn
ed of the nearness of the steamer
the mate testified:
"'Cap.' says, Cap, that steam
er's coming dead on. The green light
was showing; now the red light is.
She amt going to clear us
Cap he jest looked at the steamer
and saw how it was, and he said to
me: We've been right on our course,
amt we?' l told him YES, and he
looked at the steamers lights COM
ing on, and he said to me: Keep on
your course"
The captain and lookout and helms
man of the schooner KEEP straight
on ner course" and unless their tes-
timony is overthrown the blame for
the disaster, under the laws OF navi-
cation. rests upon the officers Of the
steamer.

What osteopathy win Do.

There are but few people who have
not heard of Osteopathy, also of
some of its achievements. But there
are far too many who have accredit-
ed it with being good for only those
conditions from which they have
been cured, or which have come un-
der their, observation. Not infrequent-
ly there is mutual surprise when one
who was cured of rheumatism meets
another who has been cured of asth-
ma or constipation. This is a homely,
but very true illustration.
Personally, l have cured chronic
cases of constipation, Rheumatism,
asthma, nervousness. neuralgia ana
headaches for people whom you
know well, and the value of the Os-
teopathic treatment is but coming
generally known in Paducah, as It
should be.
l should like to talk with you at
any time about your particular case,
and know I can cite you 10 some or
your friends who will attest to what
the treatment has done for them i'll
similar diseases. Come to my ofiice.

The patriotic acquiescence of the
Californians in the plan to avert
trouble over the Japanese incident
strips the mask from the Democratic
congressman, and now we learn that
it was not sympathy for San Fran
cisco but a desire to embarrass the
government that dictated their atti-
tude throughout the affair 1t is this
attitude of regarding anything that
promises good to the country as re-
hecting credit on the Republican ad-
ministration, that prevents the en-
action of much needed legislation,
and ultimately weakens the already
degenerate Democracy. That proud
old party once boosted men of higher
standards and greater breadth than
these obstructionists. They are not
even good politicians, and every fl
clustering scheme of theirs has gone
awry. In the senate they are adroitly
used by insurgent Republicans to
menace the executive and then de-
serted when the fractional purpose
mas been accomplished. The Demo-
cratic party needs at least one good
man-just one-to lead it out of the
wilderness of local conditions and
side issues in which false prophets
and blind guides have lost and scat
tered it. Some day when the Demo-
cratic representation is collectively
more sincere or numerically less i'm
posing the Dingley tariff schedules
will be revised; but as long as the
Democrats evince disposition to
tear It to pieces in the hope of caus-
ing a panic, thereby discrediting the
party in power, the tariff will stand.

Kuropatkin's revelation of the Off
cial correspondence and inside his
tory of the war with Japan, while in
teresing as exposing details of that
humiliating experience. gives us no
original explanation of the Russian
disasters. Social rottenness, lack of
sympathy among the common people,
poor organization and equipment,
cowardly and insubordinate officers
and the utter unfitness of a single
general in all Russia to command a
great campaign. are among the rea-
sons for the failure of Russian arms

OF hostilhies as to leave no doubt
of their accuracy. But in reading
of the history. admiring as we must

Ger who wrote the book. one cannot
resist the conclusion that much of
the fault lay in the man himself.
Ikuropat kin says his officers refused
TO obey him, and he was compelled
to act on inaccurate information and
wrong observations. Bad equipment

to insure the failure Of his campaign

Kuropatkin's critics must draw a
strong comparison between him and
such men as Grant and Kitchener.

NEEDS OF THE NAVY.

In the last number of the indie
pendent Mr. Park Benjamin brings
together a number of statements
culled from. recent reports of the sec
Rotary of the navy and his bureau
chiefs. If they are correct the asser-
tion, occasionally made, that the
United States is quite ready for a
war with a respectable naval power
Spain was not one-sounds like an
empty boast.
= The navy has no adequate reserve
of guns. The bores of the high pow
cred, large caliber guns wear out so
rapidly that there should be stock
of them on hand in order that the
battleships may not become useless.
The navy department would like to
have a reserve of 20 per cent, but the
appropriation which it has asked of
congress to that end has been cut in
two. As the case stands, few naval
actions would leave the fleet without
big guns.
There is not an adequate reserve
Of ammunition If there were It
might not be available. The space
assigned to ammunition on the bat
tleships has been SO restricted that
under certain conditions of battle the
supply might be exhausted in less
than an hour. Furthermore, the
chief of ordnance says he has no
proper vessels in which to deliver
ammunition to a fleet wherever 1t
might be.
There are not enough torpedoes to
supply even the existing boats. There
are no offensive mines such as the
japanese used at Port Arthur, and
no large supply of defensive mines.
There is no efficient system OF fire
control for the guns The dry docks
are insufficient. There are only five
capable of receiving ships drawing
twenty-seven feet.
The navy has no general staff.
There is no military administrative
authority to coordinate the work of
the supply bureaus and insure effec-
tive preparation of the fleet for war.
The country should not "wait for the
disasters Of war" to provide such an
authority. The navy has not prac-
ticed and is not practicing battle
tactics. 1t has no reserve of trained
men to join the colors at once in the
event Of war. It is maintaining Sc
we're losses in its trained men through
their refusal to re-enlist at the ex-
piration OF terms of enlistment.
If these statements give the situa-
tion as It is, 1t would not be expe-
dent for the United States to expose
its fleet too much. Manifestly con-
gress has not done everything for the
navy by voting the money with which
to build a number OF fine battleships
and cruisers. There are other mat
ters which congress should provide
but does not. It appears to be as re
luctant to have the navy always ready
for war as It has been to have the
army ready for war. 1t was respons-
ible for the lack of stores, supplies
and adequate organization when war
came nine years ago. Perhaps con-
gress cannot be aroused from It's
lethargy and induced to do for the
navy what the department asks It to.

A RIVER NEWS

A week of steady decline in the
river here finds the stage at point
lower than which 1t is not necessary
to go. as far as the inconvenience
caused by high water, is concerned.
If the river could remain at this
stage, one troublesome factor in
river business would be eliminated.
The river fell IA in the last "a
hours. with the stage this morning
at 1874. Business at the wharf is
good
The Scimitar, No. 2, was let off
the ways today. The high water de-
layed the completion of repairs but
whenrthe weather did open up, they
we're rushed through. The Scimitar,
No. 2, will leave next Wednesday for
viclsburg, Miss, where government
officers win use it as a surveying
boat. Captain Backster, of the Unit
ed States internal waterways survey
will have command on the down
trip.
Emerson's showboat which mas
been lying up in the mouth of the
Tennessee river awaiting the show
season, was taken out on the ways
for repairs today. When the work is
finished, the showboat will start out

the matter being up for argument. T

Drove that the new liquor law is I'M

Peters, of course, argued that the
law is not unconstitutional, and that

The Court took the matter under ad-
