berry Proposal For Gen
eral Reorganization.

Former Secretary of the Navy Tru-
man H Newbery is to have the salts
faction of seeing how his plan for the
reorganization and consolidation OF the
various bureaus of the Navy Depart
ment will work The present Secretary
of the Navy, George Won l. Meyer. in
tends to give those plans a fair trial.
In a statement given out at the Navy
Department today, Secretary Never

dered the formation Of a board OF eight
naval experts, which viii take un the
question of minor changes If the regu-
latlOnS recently issued by the depart-
ment This board Is appointed. il az
pears, in order that certain discrep-
aaCics now existing in these regulations
may be reconciled.
The statement reads as follows. "A
board is to be ordered to make such
recommendation as are deemed desir-
able in order 10 reconcile certain dis
crepancies in the regulations recently
issued by the department as regards
navy yards" (the Washington Navy
Yard Is not affected), a.. in the de-
tail of the duties OF the various bu-
reaus in the Navy Dep2E tment.
THE first chapter of these regula-
lions was rewritten after the remain
der of the text had gone to press. It
is conflicting in certain particulars and
the provisions Of the following chap
conform with the changed duties as
signed to the different bureaus. This
board will be composed OF a repre-
sentative from each of the Bureaus
concerned in the consolidation and the
three division commanders Of the At

monopoly, The levy of about 1 1-3 cents
per pound is made, aside from the eX-
pert tax; and it is probable that, as
this levy applies to all coffee export
ed, ii would be added at the custom
houses 10 the unquestioned export
duty. making a, total Of just about 4
cents per pound.

bill. given out for publication the day
the bill was introduced placed coffee
on the free list without qualification.
Loday IL is conceded that ii is not on
the free list, but nobody seems sure
how much duty would be imposed if
the bill should pass.
Highest Duty Charged.
AS to the coffee duty and its con-
struction there is another uncertainty
about the meaning Of the bill. Sac
Paulo is the largest coffee exporting
stale in Brazil. but by no means the
only one. The others have smaller ex-
port duties than that of Sac Paulo. But
there is possibility that the highest
export duty levied by any Brazilian
province would be charged as import
duty on all coffee from Brazil.
In che case of the lumber tariff. there
IS no doubt now that this sort of a
Significance was given 10 the proviso.
IT Is provided that If any province or
colony impose an export duty on eX-
ported forest products. then that duty
shall be charged at American custom
houses. not merely against the exports
of that province, but against forest
products from all the provinces.
Quebec has an export duty on logs
coming to the United States, and il
turns out that IL this lumber penalty
provision shall stand, it will impose
import duties on all lumber, rough
and finished, and logs, from all OF
Canada
1t is observed by students OF the
bin that if the coffee tax should be
made TO work in the same way, ii
would impose duty of practically four
cents on most of the coffee used in this
country.

DEN MARK,

The reception which was accorded
DR.. Cook, the discoverer of the north
pole, upon his arrival in the Danish
capital last week, was one of the most
enthusiastic events that has ever been
recorded in the history of the city. Peo-
pie fairly went crazy with joy and to
say that DR.. Cook could survive it all
is putting it mildly. One of the most
interesting features of DR.. Cooks pres
ent position in Copenhagen is that he
is about the only intelligent man in
the world now who does not realize
how conspicuous and talked about Dr..
Cook is today. Minister Egan (the
American minister) has shielded him
as carefully as possible. While he has
during the last few days been theoreti.
cally living as the governments guest
at hotel he is practically living at
the legation, So that he may be kept
away from the pressure Of the crowds
which are still surrounding the hotel.
DR.. Cook will soon visit Brussels and
will also deliver a lecture at Paris.
He will then return to Copenhagen and
sail from there to New York.
The farmers that supply Copenhagen
with milk get between 16 and 10 cents
a galloon, and the sale prices of the
milk are AZ cents quart for whole
milk, 21A cents for half-skimmed milk.
and 6 cents for Pasteurized milk for
infants. Denmark exports to Great
Britain over S4S,60O,0OO worth of but.
ter yearly. Trifolium dairy, the larg-
est cooperative dairy IN Denmark.
uses about " 1000 pounds of milk daily,
and the output of butter varies from
twelve to fourteen tons week. The
number of COWS in Denmark in 1908
was 1,066,698, of which somewhat less
than 100000 were on farms delivering
milk to the cooperative diaries.
A demonstration in which 500 bust
ness men participated in occurred a
week ago last Sunday in Copenhagen.
The demonstration was designated
against the chief of the war depart
ment, Mr.. j. C. Christensen, whose re-
moval by the king is now demanded.
The people it appears are not satisfied
with the part that he played in the
Alberti scandal and they are now
bound to have him removed.

Colonial Tea Monday Evening.

The Colonial Tea at the skating rink Monday evening was great suc- cess in every respect, and was a most enjoyable occasion. It was given by the committee on interior decoration, of the School Improvement Associa- tion, of which Miss Lullah Bridewell is the charming chairman, and it's success was largely due to her splendid management and tireless interest. A number of the young ladies and some of the older ones entered into the spirit of the occasion, and ap. peared in Colonial <: costumes with powdered hair, etc, and looked most beautiful. Delicious refreshments were served gratuitously, there was m usic, social intercourse and de. | lightful time for all who were so for tunate as 10 be present. Quite nice little sum which will be used for the interior decoration of Crowley Ridge Institute was realized, and we con. graduate Miss Bridewell and all who assisted in making it the success that it was.

 time has come for the exhibition of sanity if the people of Arkansas will

If freight rates are unreason- ably high, a sensible commission should make thorough investigation: both sides of the question should be thor oughly discussed, and such regula- tions made as will be just to the peo- pie and not ruinous to the railroads.
