Instruction of Officers.

A general order to the Army prepared
by direction of the secretary of war re-
ouires that all captains and lieutenants
of cavalry, field and coast artillery and
infantry, Of between three and eighteen
years of commissioned service, who
have not completed satisfactorily the
garrison school course in the subjects
of drill regulations, small arms firing
regulations, military law and lnterna-
tional law, shall attend and pursue a
special course of instruction In those
subjects.
An Artillery Salute.
Naval salutes are interesting to
landsmen as well as to Jack Tars. The
artillery salute is the survival of one
of these ceremonial practises which
formerly had some definite meaning and
is meant to signify not only an honor
to the flag or representative of a
friendly nation, but also that the vessel
had no hostile intent. Shotted guns
fred by the full armament of the ship
were used in the seventeeth century,
ty and we are unarmed.' Blank salutes
became the eighteenth century fashion,
but, like many other customs of that
polished, formal period, were carried to
ridiculous extreme. When in due
time it became the practise to give a
special salute for certain rank or oc-
casion, the odd number of guns-in
which all salutes are measured-was
selected in order that the salute might
open as well as close on the "honor'
side of the ship, the vessel s starboard.
When the United States first attained
national standing, the existing national
salute of twenty-one guns was natural
~ adopted in accordance with the usage
de other countries, by our. army and
navy. So in international usage the
national salute for every country is
twenty-one guns; while the American
national salute, used in our own eoun-
try, is one for every State, forty six
guns now being fred on State occa-
sions. The earliest instance of this
domestic salute was that which history
records as given at the raising of the
first American flag, when Capt. John
Paul Jones fred thirteen guns, one in
honor of each of the thirteen original
States.
The number of guns fired in an arti1
lery salute varies in accordance with
the rank of the officer or parsonage
saluted. The President s salute is, of
course, twenty-one guns. Admirals Of
the navy, generals of the army, gov
ernors of the States, ambassadors from
foreign countries, and justices Of the
Supreme Court are saluted by salvo
of seventeen guns. Statutes gradually
diminish in the number of guns fred
until they reach the lowest grade. seven
guns for Junior commanding officer or
our consul at a foreign port.-St. Mich

This statement of Mr.. Davis, which
he could not deny, nor could the Cop

confusion, was of infinite value to the

PROTECTS

Washington, April 9-Refined sug-

average pr1ce of 4.33 Gems a pound
Wholesale. The same art Gle sold in
London for III cents a poun1. b av-
erage family of five uses 0 pounds
of g a year., which means That he
American family paid for sugar last
year at least $40 more than the Brit
ish family. 1t also means millions of
unearned profits to the suger trust.
1t is being pointed out no effort is
made in the Payne bill to cnatge the
situation. The sugar monopoly was
practically permitted by the Ways
and Means committee to write its
own revision law. What did it want?
! Providing importations from the Phil
ippines was limited to a point far be-
low any possible danger to the local
market in the United States monopo-
lied by the sugar trust, the managers
of the trust were willing that the duty
on refined sugar be reduced-how
much?-one-twentieth of n cent a
pound.
Why is the Republican party pro-
tecting the colossal profits of the su.
| gar trusts? is being asked. The pub
lie has no way of knowing, but may
find interest in the words Of Henry
o. Havemeyer, who ,as president OF
the sugar trust, testified before a con
mittee of the Senate that was appoint
ed to investigate b ugly rumors
that gained circulation following the
making of the tariff in 1894.
Havemeyer was asked about the re
lation of the trust to politics. He re-
piled that the sugar trust made it a
practice to contribute to the state
campaign funds to 1.-THE party which
controls the local matters" What
Havemeyer alluded to as local mat
