KANSAS NEW LIQUOR LAW.
Both Houses Have Passed the Prohibi-
 ton Bill.

Topeka, Feb. 21.-When Gov. Stubbs signs the anti-liquor bill passed by both the house and senate Kansas will have a prohibition law which is absolutely "air-tight." even providing that physicians shall not prescribe liquor for the use of patients. The senate Friday accepted the house amendment barring physicians pre- scriptions This bill Is the outgrowth of the crusade against the joints by Attorney General Jackson. It pro vides that "any person who shall manufacture, sell or barter any spir-
 tuous. malt, vineous, fermented or other intoxicating liquors, shall be punished as hereafter provided" The punishment Is a fine for each offense of sl00 10 $500 and imprisonment of from 30 to 90 days in jail. There is just one exception made in the act, the sale of wine for communion pur- poses The new act also does away entirely with the drug store permits to sell liquor, as the old law provid- ing for this is repealed. This act is one of the most stringent prohibition measures in existence.
 If the bill passed by the senate com mittee of the whole Friday becomes law the third conviction of viola tion of the prohibitory law will be made felony and the penalty will be penitentiary sentence of from one to two years in the state penitentiary at hard labor. This bill came origi. nally from the attorney general

At two stops in their journey, Magdalena bay and the Philippines, the great batteries were brought into play for target pTac. tice, without preparation, to prove the fitness of the ships for fighting at the end of a long cruise.

One division dropped anchor at Annoy to do honor to China. The whole fleet flew their colors in the ports of Japan. The flags of nearly all the world were un- furled in welcome to them.
 To drive the ships 410.000 tons of coal were used. Practically all of this came from America, in order that there be no variations in quality which would interfere with the elaborate steaming tests to determine the maxl- mum power to be obtained from the

And with the rattle of chains and the splash of anchors, as the great shiIs wheeled into their berths, the Journey of 42,227 miles-not in cluding the side trips in the Mediter- ranean and other waters-from zone to zone, over the worlds oceans and through foreign seas. was at an end.
 Marks Epoch In History.
 The event marks an epoch in the naval and diplomatic history of the United States. As a mere physical achievement it Is thing of enormous proportions, As a test of naval effi- ciency it has shown the sailing value of the fleet and demonstrated to many peoples the power of the United States and its equipment for war. It has been sort of gymnastic exercise with the big stick. It has given the navy department the results of an experience that will be invaluable in the upbuildng of future fleets and brought out defects that must be oyer come. As a diplomatic messenger 1t has dissipated international misunder- standings and brought closer in friend ly relations the United States and many of the worlds countries.
 The successful completion of the cruise without noteworthy accident or untoward incident from either a naval or political point of view. is regarded by all nations as history making from several points of view. Never before has any battle command made such a long. c1ntinuous voyage. Never be- fore has any battle command circum- navigated the globe, whether in one or separate voyages. Never before has any fleet or armada of any of the countries of the world visited so many ports. so many countries, under so many flags. And never was any naval command received with such wide and universal acclaim and enthusiasm of friendly feeling and spirit of welcome as marked the progress of the Ameri. can battle fleet at every one of it's twoscore or more stops on the cruise around the world
 Few pesertons Reported.
 A remarkable feature of the cruise has been the excellent discipline. While there have been few deser- tions. the number has been far less in proportion than it usually Is in home ports The extent of the drink

quantity of fuel consumed. In this re- spect alone the experience gained is invaluable Nearly 100,000 gallons of oil were consumed in lubricating the engines and machinery.
 All Nations Impressed.
 It Is as naval test that the cruise of the fleet takes rank as the most interesting and greatest achievement of modern times. Naval experts of foreign nations waited with cynical patience for the fleet to arrive in Mag dalena bay, battered and disabled aft CT the first leg of the rigorous journey. When the ships went through target practice without any preparation they hastened to report to their govern ments Later, when the same ships continued on their way around the world and did the same thing at Ma nila bay, the fighting efficiency of the American navy was unquestioned.
 Foreign naval experts also waited confidently until the ships should reach California. to see the bluejack- cts desert in shoals as soon as they set foot on their own soil again On the contrary the men kept to their posts more faithfully than even the department itself anticipated This is the one problem of the American navy that has been source of con stant difficulty. Re-enlistments be come more common than before and for the men who left the fleet after the long cruise around South Ameri- ca there were more men to take the places when they were ready to leave San Francisco.
 But there were some things, some very simple things. brought out by the fleets voyage which seem to have escaped the critics of the navy. If naval operations are to be carried by the United States at long range. and that win probably be the case, so far as the Pacific is concerned. there must be coliers to fill the bunkers of the battleships. supply ships to All the store rooms, and ammunition ships to i'll the magazines. In their last re- ports the chief of the bureau of ord nance said that a navy without am intuition was helpless. the chief of the bureau of supplies and accounts said that a navy without food for the men was helpless. The colliers are being built now and it is only matter of time before each of the bureau chiefs will get what he wants
