TO DEFEND PACIFIC COAST.

Special 10 the Ocala Banner:
Washington. Feb. 6.-The naval
and military authorities claim that
the coast defenses OF the Pacific coast
are not altogether inadequate to re-
pei the attack OF a hostile nation and
that in San Francisco there is a de-
ticit of more than 5000 officers and
men TO adequately man the guns
which guard the entrance to the har-
Dor. while the same lack is found
preportionately al all the other ports
of the coast. Owing to the action of
the California Promotion Committee a
bill is now 10 be introduced to con-
greSS and it is expected that the re-
suits of the complaints made will be
to place the Pacific coast in complete
defensive position.

The Arcade Cafe.

The Arcade cafe opened its doors
last evening in the storcroom recent
ly occupied by the Stallherg rCstau-
rant. on South Magnolia street.
Mr.. Charcs Mongere. the prOpric-
tor. has achieved a wonderful success
as cafe manager He was al one
time chief steward on the Empress of
India, one Of the largest steamships
plying between Hong Kong and San
Francisco. and has been connected
with some of the largest and most
popular cafes in the chief cities OF
this country. in New York, New Or.
leans. Atlanta and other big cities.
He thoroughly understands his bust
ness. does his own cooking and is al
adept.
We have no doubt that a person
can get meal at the Arcade equal in
all respects to anything served at
DelmonicOs. Sherrys or Martins.
Ocala may well congratulate herself
on having such a fine oarterer and
we hope for the reputation il will
give our city that it will be well pat
ronized. Anyone has only to visit
the Arcade to satisfy themselves that
what is above written is true and is
not said as a mere compliment.

Japanese Naval Experts View.

Toxic. Feb. 6.-The Hochi Shimbun.
quoting naval expert, says: In
spite OF the apparently limitleSs rival
ry for size and efficiency in naval ar
mamentS. according 10 the systems
al present known ships cannot be
constructed exceeding 10000 tons. or
guns OF greater calibre than Il inches

More powerful explosives have been
recently invented and greater econo-

engines. These mark new epoch in
naval armament. and ii is now only
open TO experts 20 concentrate theiR
energies for carrying these innovations

TALEsMAN HAS
No CONFIDENCE
IN ORCHARD

Boise. Idaho May 16-The unexpected
uncovering OF a vein OF prejudice against
Harry Orchard and his testimony during
the further examination OF the talesmen
In the triaf of William b. Haywood for
completely in tho murder OF former Gov.
Steunenberg yesterday led 10 the fret
sharp wrangle between counsel and in
volved the name OF President Roosevelt
in an acrimonious discussion. The day
and the incident began with Samuel Win
gate. the 1lth talesman, in the hands OF
the defense for examination I'm chiG.
Questioning had proceeded short dis
tance when IL developed that Wingate
was biased against Orchard and unwill-
ing 10 accept the testimony which IL Is
expected he will give against Haywood.
The defense naturally tried at once 10
show that Wingate's state of mind on
the subject was not such as would war
rant his removal from the box, but when
the talesman repassed to the hands OF
the state, Senator Borah quickly drew
from him the hat-footed statement that
he could not under any circumstances
give credence TO Orchards testimony.
Wingate was on this excused, the de-
fence excepting TO the courts ruling, and
from thenccforward the state was par
ticular TO test all talesmen on the point
The jury box was finally filled with ~
talesmen. subjected to examination and
temporarily passed by both sides at $40
o'clock in the afternoon, and the court
announced that IL was in order for both
sides to exercise peremptory challenges
The trial will not be resumed until 2
o'clock this afternoon, because OF the fu-
neral In the morning OF Judge Nugent
father OF John f. Nugent. one OF the
counsel for the defense. This recess may
extend the completion OF the jury beyond
the end OF this week.
Between prosecution and defense. there
lie 20 peremptory challenges and one Of
these has been used. II is generally ad-
mitted that both sides intend TO use fulls
their peremptory rights, and the politi-
cal composition OF the tentative jury may
be entirely changed
The examination OF talesmen by the de-
fense yesterday indicated a desire TO in
