WARSH|PS WILL
 CIRCLE THE GLOBE Naval Officers Are Arranging the Itinerary COAL SUPPLY PROCURED Admiral Evans Will Visit Japan With
 Ills Fleet and Stops Will Be Made at Several East ern Ports.

Washington March 7.-Now that 1t has been practically determined by the Pres- ident that the battleship fleet shall re- turn to the Atlantic by way of suez. the near approach of the fleet to it's original destination-the Californian coast-has made 1t necessary for the naval officials to arrange the details of the itinerary for the homeward movement. Already sew eral conferences have been held upon this subject between the President and Secretary Metcalf, Admiral Pillsbury chief of the navigation bureau and Ad- miral Cowles. chief of the equipment bu- reau, the latter being especially charged with the duty of coaling the feet
 The last conference, held yesterday was intended to place Secretary Metcalf in possession of full information as to what had been accomplished by the bu- reau chiefs in pr .ation for the return cruise. He was perfectly satisfied with the result. Admiral Cowles had already dispatched large stores of coal to the Hawaiian islands and to Manila and he has further ascertained just how much fuel he can obtain at Port Said and the price he will have to pay for 1t. This is as far as he could go in the absence of official orders to make purchases. IL ist the business of Admiral Pillsbury to prepare these orders and he has already, after consultation with his assistants in the bureau, been able to frame them and lay them before the President.
 So it is expected that in the course of a few days the formal orders will issue and immediately all of the plans that have been so carefully worked out for the fleets return movement VIII De put into execution. The point of doubt is the disposition to be made of the ships upon their arrival in Asiatic waters. for while it is reasonably certain that some of them will be sent to Japan, it is not known whether the movement in that direction will be general or confined to about four representative ships.

BETTER HAVE A CHOICE.

The Rawlins Republican recommends
that wyoming shall send an uninstruct.
ed delegation to the national republl'
can convention. There is nothing to
be gained and a good deal to be lost
by such a course. BY naming a mar
and standing by him a state has at
least the prestige of being for some
one and having his good will and
friendship afterward. The neutral pc
sition gives nothing.
Wyoming Is at the tail end OF the
roll call. The chances are a grea.
deal more than ven that the candidate
will be nominated before Wyoming's
Eame is reached, and the prestige OF
getting into the band wagon at that
late hour would be of little or nc val
ne. This paper believes 1t is wise pol
Icy to select a nan and stand by the
choice. 1t is not only the wisest thing
to do but the most polite.
Wyoming democrats are not going
to permit themselves to make such Q
mistake. Right now it is an assured
fact that Mr.. Bryan will be the instruct
ed choice of their convention.

the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brillianoe vanish like the bloom from q
peach which 10 rudely handled. The

OF the charming maiden There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is rebbing the cheek
OF Its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

II OPERA HOUSE.

In the matter of building an opera
house and hotel, one thing seems clear.
If a bonus is given 1t should go to tn
man OF men who put up the money for
the building. If the money comes from
inside the city, then the local men
should have the bonus. II the construc.
ton money comes from outside, then
the bonus IL any should go to the out.
siders, The bonus is to compensate
the constructors for the risk they take
in their investment, an opera house,
generally speaking, not being consid,
cred a gilt-eIged financial proposition
1t is a play house for all the people.
At Cheyenne, where a beautiful opera
house was constructed, many of the
subscribers to the building fund at
once placed their bonds aud stock on
the market at so cents on the dollar.
This they considered good business,
freely giving the 20 per cent for the
benefit OF the city, their own adjacent
property and the public good.
The people of Laramie could doubt
less 40 at least as well, proportionate-
ly. There are many men here who
could afford to contribute considerable
sums OF money because of property
interests, A fine hotel and theatef
building would enhance to a large ex.
tent the value of property in the i'm.
mediate vicinity and in a more limited
degree the property of the entire city.
But to return to the matter of bonus,
every dollar of 1t should go to the con.
structors for construction purposes. In
other words, to make it plain, IL the
people of Laramie are to put up the
bonus and the money for the construc,
ton OF the building too, then they
should take charge of the entire mat.
ter and see that every dollar goes into
the enterprise, just as our enterprising
neighbors at the capital did.

at the affinity BALI in Stauch's ravii-
ion of "The Pride of Coney Island

THE TAX COMMISSION.

Perhaps the most important commits
sion ever named by a governor of wy.
oming is that just appointed by Cover
nor Brooks to consider all matters re
lating to the revenue laws of the state
n to make recommendations to the
governor n the legislature. This com
mission Is composed of men of ripe ex
p%erience and strict integrity. They will
unq~uestionably make a report that will
so to the very foundation of the tax
question. In their Investigations they
invite suggestions and advice from men
having an interest in such matters, in
the hope that the combined wisdom OF
the state may result in evolving a sys
tenn that will be as nearly fair as 1t l.
possible to secure.
In an interview with a reporter fol
the Wyoming Tribune, Hon. w. r
Sehnitger expressed himself as fol
lows:
My idea is that our course should
be to the end OF getting the property
on the assessment rolls. and then
equitably assessing it. 1t sounds sim.
pie, but there are many things that
have gradually come to interfere with
proper assessment. The pay of the
assessor for one thing and the realiza.
ton that he must favor certain citi,
zens If he wants to be elected. If
we can md some way to put the law
at his back when he makes a fair and
full assessment, l think much of our
present difficulty will be overcome
The counties now make their as,
sessments independently, and without
regard to each other. We hope TO be
able to devise a plan whereby the coun,
ties will work more in unison to their
W advantage and that of the state.
plans have frequently been sug,
Gested whereby all of the assessment
in the county shall be done by the
county, the cities and the school dis,
tricts paying only county taxes and
receiving appropriations from the
county treasury for their needs. This
might simplify assessments in the
cities where property owners are now
assessed twice. and the commission
will doubtless consider this as we'll
as the many other plans which have
been tried or proposed elsewhere"
The suggestion put forth by Mr..
Schnitger is an exceedingly good one.
There is no reason why the same prop
erty should be assessed twice in the
same year, c. for county and once
for city purposes. There is no reason
why a citizen should not be permitted
TO make N payment of taxes and re.
ceive one receipf for all. A great deal
of waste would be saved by this meth.
cd. The county treasurers of the sew.
eral counties could just as easily pay
over to the t~reasurers of the incorpor.
ated towns the amount of tax levied
for city purposes as they do the taxes
for school purposes. A double assess
ment also works an evil in another
way. There is always the temptation
on the part of officials TO make a high.
er assessment for city than for coun-
ty purposes, and certain classes of
uroperty thus evsde the payment of a
Just share of state taxes.
