NEW YORK, September 21.-An or
der for a trial by court martial of
Major Gilmore Taggart of the Twenty
fourth United States infantry will be
issued shortly by General Grant.
Major Taggart will be brought to
trial on a charge of immortality, which
grew out Of the recent scandal at Fort

oped the summary dismissal from the
army Of Capt. Robert H. Peck, Tween
ty-fourth infantry.
\ sensational review of army life at

CART trial. Captain Peck s court mar
tial followed his discovery of an en-
listed man, employed by Major Tag
CART as servant. in a drunken condi-
ton. Captain Peck in lecturing the
man, made statements about a negro
cook employed by Major Taggart. These
were bruited about the garrison and
reflected on Major Taggart, the com
manding officer.
Peck was dismissed after a court
martial had found HIM guilty of con
duet unbecoming a gentleman.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS
Using Dead Officers Names.

Following the good old custom, as
practised by our friends and neighbors
the Jews, Uncle Sam has adopted one
of their well-tried observances, in so far
as not to use the name Gas applied to
the designation of any army, navy or
marine station, post or boat, not even a
battery of artillery of living officer
or soldier, probably thinking so long as
there is life there is an opportunity of
the good name being in danger of be
coming furnished. So member of the
United States service corps will have
to die to have his name perpetuated in
the everyday annals of active service,
either on land or water.
A precedent was established in the
Philippine Islands, to continue as far
as practical the naming of army gar
risons after army and navy officers, SOL
diers and sailors who gave up their lives
in fighting for the stars and stripes.
In many instances this beautiful tribute
was offered by a grateful government to
their careers were ended.
This living and practical monument
serves justly in more ways than one.
For public recognition of an unselfsh
and brave life is not only thus acknowi-
edged. the name preserved, but the life
and example of the honored hero held
as unconsciously constantly up for the
emulation for the followers of Old
Glory of today.
President Mckinley has had many
army posts named for him in the home
land as well as at the outer garrisons.
The largest brigade post in the Philip
pines division, situated in the depart
ment of Luzon. aboutseven miles up the
Pasig River from Manila, is called
Fort William Mckinley: another Nc
Kinley post is located in Maine, on the
mainland, and there was once a Camp
Mckinley in Honolulu. Two of the
many brave hearts that stopped beating
while on duty in the Philippines will be
perpetuated as Camp Overton. Minda-
mao. after Captain Overton, and Captain
Warwick The latter captain s excep.
tional bravery is partly told by the
post at Cebu, ?, l., beng called Camp
Warwick.

the above applied rule, a small barrie
in the Island of Samar, P. l., was named
Taft. Only a few brief seasons rolled
around before a tvphoon blew every
house in the entire settlement away and
nothing was left but the name.
The war department has recently or
dered some quartermasters' transports
and boats to bear the names of late
quartermaster-g generals and others. They
will be known as the General s. B. Hola

KAPPA DISCUSSED
BY LAND BOARD
Knotty Problem Is Tackled, but
Much Talk Results in
No Action.

Kappa was the subject that Devil
dered the land board at its meeting yes
terday afternoon. This bugaboo of the
board. which none of the members has
been at all anxious to tackle. was dis
cussed at long length and from various
standpOints. but no conclusion was ar
rived at, and at the end of the meet
ing the commi toner's said that they
did not feel that they knew enough
about the matter to be able to vote
intelligently. Which is not to be Won
dered at in view of the fact that
Kapaa has for some eight years en-
gagged the attention. thought and en-
deavors of some of the shrewdest bust
ness men, lawyers and executive Off
GERS of the Territory.
The discussion yesterday was chiefly
along the line of a search for lnforma-
ton. The commissioners wanted to
know what it was all about, what the
land is like. what the production pos
sibilties are. where the water is to
come from, how mucn there is of it
and under what conditions it IS pro-
posed to lease both land and water,
or land and water separately.
Commissioner Trent, who said that
he had been the goat long enough. was
the only one who expressed himself as
ready to vote on the proposition of
leasing the 1890 acres of Kappa land.
He didn t say how he intended to vote,
nor would he make any motion, but
he said that if someone else would
make motion, ne would vote on it.
Nobody else would. however, so the
golden opportunity slipped by.
Aside from the discussion Of the pro,
posed Kappa lease. very little work
was done by the board. only a few
minor matters being touched upon.
Sale Approved.

terests of Philip Comrades, an appli-

was involved in the proposed trans
action Comrades offered 800 for the
land and the board voted to accept.
Wahiawa's Park Land.
Before taking up the Kappa matter,
for the consideration of which the
board had come together, Secretary
Brown read letter from the trustees
of the Wahiawa colony protesting
against the sale of small piece of
gulch land at Wahiawa. The colonists
wrote that they wanted the gulch land
reserved for park purposes. The board,
therefore, voted to reject the applca-
ton of Hugh Galbraith to purchase
the land

Kappa Question Tackled.

Kapaa came next Brown said he
was looking for information more than
anything else. Land Commissioner
Campbell produced the report of the
appraisers.
The first application discussed was
for 1890 acres of land. with 100000
gallons of water, for which $1,000
year rental is offered by the Makee
Sugar Company
Brown thought that the board ought
to ascertain the respective areas OF
good, bad and indifferent land in the
1890 acres.
Campbell said the appraisers had
averaged the land as worth about $4.45
an acre per year with all the water of
kapaa.
Brown said there are so many tracts
of land around the country leased for
s. without water that an appraisement
of Kapaa al $4.45 with water would
suggest it must be pretty poor land.
Kappa Land Poor.
In reply to a question:, Campbell
stated that it would take about 6,0OO,-
600 gallons Of water to irrigate the
1890 acres of land. He thought any
person would be able to make a success
of Kapaa as sugar plantation on that
amount Of water. Andrade thought the
leesee would need a large reservoir,
Campbell stated that there are two good
reservoirs already on the land.
Campbell, replying to question, SAID
he considered the Kappa lands only or
binary sugar lands, by no means com
parable to the sugar lands of Oahu.
The average yield is but a fraction
over three tons TO the acre. The soil,
he said, IS too heavy.
Need More Water.
Andrade thought that instead of linn
iting the lease to 100000 gallons OF
water, the land should be leased with
all the water necessary to irrigate it,
so that if part of the land were with
drawn for homesteaders there would be
no trouble about the amount of water
TO be withdrawn with IT. Otherwise,
he said, there would be the danger OF
much litigation.
Campbell didn t agree with him. The
United States laws, he said, clearly de-
fine the duty Of water. Andrade 5
scheme. he thought, would lie more
liable to cause litigation. Campbell
also stated that an acre of kaP8a land
needs l,440.00O gallons of water per
wear. Referring TO the leasing Of both
land and water together, he said that
the clause in the license requiring the
constructing of a $4,000 reservoir
would enable the government to get
paid for the freshet waters for which
otherwise It would Get nothing.

To Make Her Last Cruise.

The United States frigate Ports
mouth. one of the last of the old time
sea fighters, is being fitted out at the
New York navy yard for her last sea
voyage There is long typ around
the Horn and up the Pacific Coast in
store for the old square rigger, and
it has been thought best to have her
seams calked before the journey is
begun.
When the necessary repairs have
been made the Portsmouth will set sail
for Seattle, where she is to be con
verted into museum. Up to this year
she has been used as a training ship
for the New Jersey naval reserves, but
on the recent practice cruise the Jer-
sey sailors abandoned her for the more
modern monitor Tonopah. The people
of San Francisco wanted to own the
Portsmouth, because it was the Ports
mouth that sailed into their harhor
many years ago and officially took pos
session Of California for the United
States. 1t was decided, however. to
send her to Seattle.

The system now used in the regular

A troop of cavalry has already been

be added to regular regiment only by

While the Dick law requires that the

for the militia to organize provisional
