BRITAlN'S NAVAL STRENGTH.
Government Announces Its Intention
to Maintain Present Two-Power
Standard

London, March s. - The Radical
members Of the house Of commons
who are agltating for broad meas.
ure of disarmament received scant
support from the. cabinet in the house
when they introduced a resolution in
viting the government TO take action
In support of their views.
Herbert II. Asquith, chancellor OF
the oxchequer, was the spokesman for
the government. He maintained that
If Great Britain was TO retain COM
mand Of the sea this position must be
safeguqrded against all contingency.
The government believed it to be its
duty to maintain the present two.pow.
er standard in the matter OF naval
strength
Abiding to numerous references re-
garding the naval activity OF Ger.
many, Mr.. Asquith recalled that the
government did not witness with ap-
prehenson naval expansion which
corresponded to the economic and ad.
vancng needs of that country. He
added that there was the best reason
to hope that the two peoples were ad.
vancng nearer and nearer to a com.
plete mutual understanding. Mr.. AS
uuith insisted that the naval policy
of Great Britain was purely defensive.

"SiIent Firearm" Invented.

Hiram Percy Maxim, son of Sir
Hiram Maxim, who invented the ma
chine gun which bears his name, has
been granted a patent in this country
for a "silent firearm." BY the device
of the younger inventor, now formally
announced as fully perfected, the dis
charge of a rifle OF revolver is rem
dered practically noiseless.
The escape of the gases following
discharge of the explosive is shut off
just as the bullet emerges from the
muzzle. This result is obtained by
means of a piston valve sliding across
the bore of the barrel Immediately
after the bullet passes. This valve is
controlled entirely by the pressure of
the gases themselves and is not oper-
ated by any intricate mechanical de-
vice.
Preventing the gases from escaping
suddenly and provoking a consequent
loud report, the valve allows them to
issue gradually through a series of
small holes, thus obviating all noise
except a slight kissing sound. The
valve then resumes an open position
and safety device prevents the fir
ing of another cartridge unless the
valve is in its proper place.
Military experts apprised of the new
invention assert that it holds the
power to force revolution of modern
methods of warfare.

Of Japan in that province. He added:
"The relations between Japan and

Albany, March 3.-The assembly

resolution asking Governor Hughes

know who wrote the letter. and it Is
for that purpose that | introduce the

Minority Leader Palmer seconded
the remarks of Mr.. Hammond and in
doing so attacked the governor for
giving out the letter without the name
Of the writer
"This Is not the first time" he said,
that the members of the legislature
have been assaled publicly, and I be-
lieve that If we do not resent this
attack we are only admitting its truth.
I am surprised that the governor of
the state should become the medium
through which such a charge is CIV

Unrest In India.

The officers of the German steam
ship Neuenfels, which arrived at
Boston from India and Ceylon, re-
port a serious Condition of affairs
throughout India. The natives, they
assert, are openly defying the British.
They have boycotted British goo1s
and have refused to handle cargoas
shipped by British merchants.
In the interior they are on the verge
of open revolt, and in many pI5Ces
they are arming and preparing 10 com
bat British rule. Agitators are large
ly responsible for the present condi-
tions. They are melting 'he natives
to acts of violence. They believe the
japanese will aid them if they should
engage in war with England and hey
declare they will be victorious.
In the larger cities the feeling
against the British and foreigners in
general has taken the form of boy
colt and commerce is greatly ham
pered. The Neuenfels was delayed
sixty-four days at Calcutta waiting for
her cargo.
The natives refused to work or the
freighter and it was weeks before a
gang of longshoremen could be got to-
gether who would load the ship. Cal
cutta harbor at that time was filled
with British steamers unable to get
cargoes.

No Money to Rebuild Navy.

The project for rebuilding the Rus
sian fleet has received a setback as
result of the attitude of the ministry
of finance, which sees no possibility,
under the present circumstances, of
the country raising the funds needed
for the construction of a great and
powerful navy. The naval estimates
submitted amounted to s1,O00,000,000
for ten years construction. Minister.
of Finance Kokovosoff said that this
extended program could not be con-
sidered now. The minister of finance
believes that the sums assigned annual
ly for new construction will continue
at about $15,5OO, 600 for several years.

Many Small Stations to Be Closed.

The American railways have made
arrangements to comply with the
"nine-hour law" The operation of
the law will mean the employment by
railroad companies of several thous-

tions on the 4th of March. The dis
continuance of railway service at
many points, it is realized, will in
duce at least temporary inconvenience
to the travelling and shipping public,
but in order to reduce operating ex-
penses which now seems necessary
the operating officials believe this is
the only way they possibly can meet
