SAN PEDRO, March 3.-The initia-
ton ceremonies held last evening by
the local Elks for the purpose of orlIlS~
ing twelve men from the United states
monitor Cheyenne into the lodge Will
long be remembered by the members
and by this city.
The reception committee went
aboard the vessel on her arrival yes
terday morning and the twelve candi-
dates. headed by Warrant Mach1nist
f. +. Ingram, came ashore in full uni
form at o'clock p. m. The officers or
the lodge and the entertainment COM
mittee gave a dinner to the candidates
at D. m. at the Royal cafe, and at
o'clock the fun began at the lodge
The arrangements had been COM
plete, the hall having been decorated
especially for the occasion by the
Chase-Phillips company of Los An
geles. The local Elks orchestra put on
special music, and after the initiation
a colored troupe entertained the lodge
with musical stunts.
After the ceremony and just before
the elaborate banquet Chief Master OF
Arms G.. z. Barker presented the lodge
with a magnificent punch bowl on be-
half of the twelve new members. Miner
p. Goodrich responded for the lodge.
Brothers Ingram and Ruemler made
the cup aboard ship. Taking the brass
case from a six-inch shell that had been
fired from the cruiser Boston in the
battle of Manila bay May 1, 1898, the
men hammered out the bowl. The work
was hard but the result most beautiful.
On the polished surface appear thou
sands of hammer marks. The bowl
stands sixteen inches high and is
twelve inches in diameter at the top,
swilling to sixteen inches in the CEN
ter. 1t is silver lined, and silver
ladle accompanies it, Engraved on the
outside is a beautiful ,elk's head with
the inscription, "San Pedro lodge, B.
P. o. E. e66. presented by U. S. S.
Cheyenne Elks."
The bowl is on exhibition here to-
day and is greatly admired by all who
see it. The local lodge will cherish the
gift as a memento of the occasion and
A historic souvenir.

FOREIGN RELATIONS.

The first salient feature OF the Presi-
dents report upon the foreign relations
Of the nation, in the order OF reading
the message if not in that of intrinsic
Importance. is the gratifying progress
which has been and is being made in
the peaceful and equitable settlement of
vexarious international controversies 10
which this country has been a party.
Some of these are Of long standing,
while some are OF recent origin, and
they are widely distributed about the
world. But among them all not one
deadlock is reported. Every one is
settled or in hopeful way toward set

Diplomacy.
No less striking is the range Of Ameri-

Is certainly no hint OF unwarranted

Japan In Manchuria present no menace
TO American rights and privileges under
the principle OF the open door.
The Presidents narrative OF dealings
with South and Central America and his
apt discussion OF our spec interests
there suggest a pertinent b" profitable
gloss on the Monroe Do. Inc. The
President frankly formulates an opinion
which In fragmentary state has for
some time been held and expressed
That is. that while the principle OF that
doctrine remains immutable. the circum-
stances which originally made its enun-
citation urgently needful have largely
passed away: saiutary change which
makes IL fitting that the Latin Ameri-
can governments shall be held as respon-
sible as they are secure. that they
sEall-as nearly all Of them do-dis-
charge their Just obligations, and that
they shall dismiss all notions of sinister
designs against them by the power
which so long has been their guardian.
This declaration Is especially worthy Of
consideration In connection with present
Nicaraguan affairs. II is also pertinent 10
be news 10 most people, that the United
States was repeatedly requested TO in
te-pose its good offices between Bolivia
and Peru for the settlement of their
boundary dispute. but declined to do so.

arrive at an understanding unaided- 1t
would have been well 10 offer our me-
diation had II been needed: 1t was far
better 10 have the settlement made with
ont il, thus encouraging the practice Of
such direct dealings and avoiding any
suspicion OF meddlesomeness.
On the whole, il is gratifying review
which the President gives us OF an emf
n6ntly businessllke condition and con-
duct OF the foreign affairs OF nation
which is ar once exceptionally self-con-
tanned in its ambitions and yet uni
versal in its interests. 1t is a fine
exemplifcation of the ideal which JEFF
ferson set up from Washington's in
sl'.ration Of peace, commerce and
honest friendship with ali nations, enc

NAMING NEW BATTLESHTPS.

If. as is highly probable. Congress
authorizes the building Of the new war
vessels for which the administration
asks, the question what names they
shall bear VIII arise. For many years
the Navy Department has followed the
practice of naming cruisers for cities
and armOTed cruisers and battleShips for
states. Including the vessels now under
contract the government has heavy
fighting ships bearing the names OF
fOrty-three states. AS there is cruiser
New York, confusion would arise If Il
hattleship should receive that name.
Nevada and Oklahoma are the only re-
naming states not yet honored by hev-
ing a modern war vessel called after
them.
As there Is a harbor defence monitor
Nevada, however, further steps are
needed 10 prevent duplication Of titles,
but the trouble can be easily overcome
The monitors which were originally
Known as the Florida and the Wyoming
are now listed as the Tallahassee and
the Cheyenne. If similar action has not
been taken 10 make available the name
Arkansas. already assigned 10 battle
ship begun this year, IL doubtless will be
taken soon. By substituting Carson for
Nevada, in pursuance OF the same policy,
the name of one more state can be used
for a new battleshlp. Perhaps by be-
slowing statehood on Arizona and New
Mexico Congress will put two additional
names ar the disposal of the Navy be
partment within year or two. When
these have been applied the limit will
have been reached. Unless some Of the
older hattleships. like the Texas, should
then go to the junk pile, a new system
or q modification of the present one
would apparently he necessary.
Perhaps the simplest way OF dealing
with the situation would be to recur TO
a practice which more than one govern
ment has followed, and Of which the
battleship Kearsarge is a reminder. The
names OF shiTe famous in the country's
history might be used again. To this
course there is q possible objection. Of

Georges book, Mr.. Giolittl determined
TO try a system of discriminating taxa
ton which would take the burden from
the poor and put II upon the rich lie
therefore formulated a progressive In
come tax. from which all incomes or
less than 81 900 year would be exempt,
which would be / per cent on all In
comes between $1,000 and 5000, and
rise TO 6 per cent on all over $4,000
year. Similarly graduated death duties
were provided, and taxes on bonds. 1t
was also proposed 10 increase freight
rates on the railroads by 3 per cent and
passenger fares by o per cent.
On the other hand, Mr.. Giolitti pro-
posed for the sake of the poor a reduc-
ton OF the tax on sugar by at least one
half. 1t is said that less sugar is con-
sumed In Italy than In any other civil
lied country. and ii is not to be won
dered at that such is the case. The beet
sugar manufacturers cannot supply the
needs of the country, and yet heavy
tariff Is laid upon imports, while there
are also local taxes on all sugar, domes-
tic or imported, at the gates OF Rome
The result is that sugar is luxury
which only the well-to-do can afford 10
enjoy, while il is impossible 10 develop
any important industries in which sugar
is much used. The case is cited of
capitalist in fruit growing district who
tried TO manufacture jam and other pre-
serves, but failed because of the cost of
sugar, which Is four times that of the
fruit
On the whole. Mr.. Giolittis budget
probably deserved 20 succeed. Its taxes
on the rich were moderate in comparison
with those which are proposed in Great
Britain, and the lowering Of the sugar
tax was commendable. But the increase
In railroad charges was resented, largely
because Of the poorness of the service on
the state lines, while there was even
more dissatisfaction with the steamship
subsidies. not because there was any OBJ
lection 70 the, principle, which is Of al
most universal application in Europe,
but because it was thought that partial
ity had been shown toward certain
favored lines. So the ministry has been
forced out by a most inconGruous CO.
alition of opposition factions. That an
enduring ministry can be formed by the
coalition seems impossible, even under
the lead Of so accomplished a statesman
as Baron Sonnino, so that we shall not
improbably soon see Mr.. Giolitti in Of
fee again TO apply his new schemes of
finance
