such provision in its railroad bill.
The next attempt will be made when
the bill is reported into the Senate from
the committee of the whole. Friends of
the amendment are exceedingly hopeful.
while the Senate regulars. who have been
opposing tho provision, predict its con-

Advice to Middies.

Wherever your talents lead YOU your
aim should he at all times an earnest
endeavor to attain the highest efficiency
and not to be satisfied with anything
less.
''rhe fleet is the navy, and it should be
so constituted and drilled that it will
have at all times the greatest possible
military efficiency Under such condi-
tons only can the navy protect the in
terests of the country and insure peace.
THE navy is only a menace and
needless expense when it Is permitted to
deteriorate and when the military spirit
weakens. Therefore l say to you, young
men, that the country looks to YOU not
merely to be content to step In the foot
prints of your predecessors, but to maze
your own footprints, and to do under
all circumstances the best that Is in YOU
whether in peace or in war. and thus
maintain the reputation of the American
Navy for progressiveness, efficiency ana

What the Country Expects.

Mr. Padgett's speech was an impressive
one, and urged upon the young graduates,
to whom it was more particularly adj
dressed the necessity of not letting up
now that they had graduated, but to con-
tinue striving for higher manhood and
higher ideals. lie spoke of the courses OF
study at the academy, saying it was well
TO learn thoroughly all about mathematics,
and it was sood TO master thoroughly
steam and electrical engineering, both
were important, but even more important
was a strong and lofty manhood.
I'm the last analysis. said he, you
must stand on the character you nave
formed here. While the American people
demand that should occasion arise you
will die in defense of your duty, they
also expect you to live to the faithful
discharge of that duty.

when, therefore, he steps from the

Strange Tribe of Dwarfs

The discovery in Dutch New Guinea
of a tribe of dwarfs on the second
bench of the great Snow mountains is
particularly interesting as establishing
a new point for the study of the prim-
tive inhabitants, possibly absolute au-
tochthons, of Indonesia.
1t is not long since the reports made
by travellers that in hitherto unknown
regions of the earth they had found
communities of pygmies were greeted
with such scientific derision as attended
the discovery of the gorilla, says the
New York Sun. In the second stage
of our knowledge that in the byways
of the world dwarf races still lived,
when later explorers brought positive
confirmation of the first reports, the
solely as removing few stories of clas-
sical antiquity from the realm of fable
into the region of fact.
In the brevity of the first reports of
this discovery from this least known
region of the continental island of New
Guinea details are lacking. Yet partic-
Ehr interest must attach to the state
ment that these pygnlies average 81
inches in height. for this is exactly the
stature of the Aeta of the Philippines
and very closely corresponds with the
measure Of the Karons, also New
Guinea people.
A disposition is now manifested by
anthropogolists to regard the dwarf
races, wherever they may occur, as per-
sisting survivors of an extremely
primitive type of humanity, an arrest
in the course of development which the
superior races have undergone.
