New York City.-Con nfirmaiion OF
the announcement Ill The World that
the baLtleship fieet VIII be sent on an
extended foreign cruise reached this
city in the form OF al Official letter
from the Navy Department to Lieu
tenant A. W. Prcssey. L. S. ", the
officer in charge OF the naval recruit
ing Office.
The announcement, which is re-
garded as one of the most important
issued by the Navy Department since
the one that despatched the battle
ship fleet on its famous cruise around
the world, indicates a notable change
in naval policy as to the disposition
of its fleets in time of peace. Still
more interesting is the fact that this
cruise of the sixteen new battleships
of the Atlantic fleet to the Mediterra-
mean has nothing to do with war
clouds, but is mainly to give that part
of young America which has cast its
fortunes with Uncle Sans web foot
an opportunity of seeing the world.
Unique Phase of the Tr;D.
Never before in the history # any
navy has such a cruise been under
taken for such n purpose. Think of
a personally conducted tour to the
Mediterranean in 4 fleet whose ag-
gregate cost exceeds that of twenty
Lusitanias! But whereas those who
might make such n trip Ivy Lusita-
MIA would have hundreds. perhaps
thousands, OF dollars to pay for pas
sage alone, those who go on this trip
will have no such expense, but will
be paid for going.
Immediately upon receipt of the
official notice from Washington Lieu
tenant Pressey prepared n circular
letter, which will be sent to the Navy
Department for its approval and then
distributed broadcast throughout the
country. The circular reads in part:
The Navy Department has just
made a very important announce
ment. 1t intends to send the battle
ship fleet to Europe next fall. prob
ably the Mediterranean and possibly
parts OF Africa. From now on il will
be its policy to send the fleets to for
eign ports for a few months every
year.
This means that thousands of
young Americans will have a chance
to see the world, and get paid for It,
Many people save money for months
or years in order to go abroad, and
never heard of one who did 1t who re-
gretted 1t. / want to ask you this i'm
portant question: Are you willing to
travel IL you are we'll paid for it? Or
would you rather stay at home and
read about It?
please understand that the Navy
Department does not promise you or
any one else that particular trip to
Europe. The Navy Department. nev-
or makes promises of that nature.
But thousands of young men will get
IL, because thousands will be needed
for it. Why shouldn't you be one of
them?

X. c. Holland, Esq,
My Dear Sir:
Accept my thanks for your
kind letter of the 28th ultimo.
In reply to your inquiry 1 would
say:
The states cannot be depriv,G
OF their reserved rights eysept
by their own actions in a geheral
convention such as formed the
constitution.
AS each state did by its own
consent, in separate convention
delegate certain powers and re-
serve the rest, so must each state
grant any additional power as
the only means by which it can
justly be deprived of it. Force
may prevail over right, but can
not destroy truth.
The exercise of the power to
eoerce a state cannot give TO
that act constitutional authority.
Dut 1T has been so acquiesced in
that the remedy of secession bv
an oppressed minority must be
considered impracticable.
The South never asked for
more than faithful construction
OF the constitution as interpret-
ed by the men who made it, and
II in the future that can he Sc
cured we may be content. though
we cannot surrender a right even
while admitting our inability TO
maintain it.
L was much gratified by the
expression of your opinion in
regard to the past and tender
TO You my sincere regard.
Respectfully and truly yours.

which line operates the refrigerator
cars used on the International and

The gentlemen named conferred with
the commission yesterday and asked
for an Interpretation of the commits
sion's refrigerator tariff, insisting
that the cost of loading, which is
borne by the, shipper, includes the
cost of stripping and "bracing" In
shipments of fruit and produce. The
material used for stripping and brac-

hence the railroads and the shippers

is the small pieces between layers of

there in order that the cool air may

crates in position and prevent them
from falling over and otherwise be-

ing on the subject. and will call it for

.ers- and shippers asking that the
commission apply the tomato rates on
