Headquarters Here INegli- Shirts FAVORS LANDSMEN Sailors Do Not Make the Best Men-of-War's Men. PLAN TO SUPPLANT NAVAL RESERVE Captain It. E. Davis, of the Oregon Brigade, Not In Accord with. Sec retary Lons'i Suggestion. Captain Robert E. Davis, of Portland, Commander of Oregon's Naval Brigade, does not agree entirely with Secretary Lang's Idea, of supplanting the existing naval militia with men from the mer chant service. Views of the Secretary ot the Navy are glvin in the following press dispatch: "Secretary Long. It is said in a special dispatch to the Tribune from Washing ton, will. In his report, urge the estab lishment ot a naval reserve to supplant the existing naval militia, which is sup posed to have outlived its usefulness, as 16 shown by its rapid deterioration since the war with Spain. The proposed Na tional Reserve is already under consid eration In Congress, with the Indorsement of all naval and maritime interests. "It contemplates the enrollment of offi cers and seamen in the merchant service much after the manner of the British re serve at an expense far below that of the naval militia, with the advantage of mak ing seafaring men available to go aboard lighting ships. It will be shown that in case of war the number of American warships now in service would require at least 600 officers and 10,000 men for fighting complements. "With a National naval reserve enrolled, this force would be secured and made efficient in a few weeks, while on the other hand the pres ent naval militia system could not supply one-tenth the number in twice that time." Captain Davis thinks the efficiency of the present reserve could be very much enhanced by the use of modern ships and guns in training the recruits Instead of the old wooden vessels used In these practice cruises. The training ships Adams and Ranger used on this Coast," he said. In an in terview last night, "are out of date, and do not give the men the most accurate ideas of what would be expected of them hi case of real sen-ice," As for sailors from the xnerohant service making more effective man-of-war's men than lands men, Captain Davis differs with the Sec retary. "No better lighting men can be found than those taken from land pur suits aftr they have been thoroughly traneid on shipboard." the Captain said. "Rnd the Oregon Naval Brigade com pares favorably with any other company of Its age and experience. With the ex ception of an occasional cruise on a wooden vessel, our men are compelled to rely on the training afforded by the ap pliances at the Armory. On our last practice trip on board the Philadelphia, In August, we went through all the de tails of seamanship, signaling and the use of guns, and although we have not heard from Washington in regard to re sults, we have received commendations from experienced men in regard to the efficiency of the brigade. "The Naval Brigade costs the General Government very little, as only $35,000 a year Is appropriated for Its maintenance. Bach company is allowed J35 per month. which does not go very far toward the actual expenses, some of which are borne by the states themselves. "With modern ships and guns and an appropriation sufficient to cover the ex. pense. the present Naval Reserve can be made perfect in efficiency, and there will be no difficulty In obtaining all the young men needed. Even with the present ob solete type of appliances, our men have shown remarkable efficiency. X, for one, do not bell"-e the service can be Im proved by confining the recruits to sailors from the merchant marine of the coun try, who are by no means the equals, as a class, of our young men taken from the pursuits at home. Experience has shown that the country can depend on these when the Nation needs efficient man-of-war's men." Criminal Caae. Joba-Dcffy pleaded guilty In. tho-Crlm- lnal Court yesterday to larceny of DO pocket knives from the store of W. S. Davis, on Union avenue. He was sen tenced to IS months In the Penitentiary. Duffy apears to be about 20 years old. Ho told the court it was his first offense, and asked for leniency. James Riley was arraigned before Judge George on an information charging him with larceny in the Saratoga lodging-house of $15 from J. C. Foster. Riley was granted until today to plead. An information has been filed by the District Attorney Against Tom Enrlght, charging him with assault with intent to rob Man Kwong, a Chinese, of $400. En right was arraigned, and his attorney, N. D. Simon, asked that the case go over one day, which the court allowed. .EXIT BY TURNSTILE. New Device Is Adopted nt the Union Station. The Terminal Company Is putting In an elaborate turnstile near the main exit gate, at the Grand Central station. The object of Its construction Is -to let people out of the enclosure surrounding the train platform, without letting any in. Much speculation as to how a turnstile could be made to work In that one-sided way has been Indulged by the hotel-runners, hack-drivers and other regular fre quenters of the station, and it was ar gued that the thing was Impossible. But these men had not seen the turnstile exits at the World's Fair, Chicago, and the Midwinter Fair, San Francisco. The turnstile Is about six feet high, and resembles a revolving horse rack in a perpendicular-position. The teeth of the rake are of Inch-and-a-half gas pipe, about four feet long, run through a stout timber, set on a pivot. An iron pawl and ratchet on top of this post permit the stile to be turned one way, and it can only bo worked from Jnslde the plat form enclosure. But can't a man on the outside get in while the thing is turning to let the man on the inside get out? No, he can't. Long fingers of gas pipe project from one side of the gate, and as they dovetail Into the bars of the stile, the man on the outside cannot go through that way. Even the man who Is going out cannot get back after the bars behind him havo met the short bars at his side, as the ratchet and pawl have attended to that There wont be very much room to spare for the person passing through, and u stout man or woman will have little to spare in making the exit. The enclosure surrounding the train platform Is kept closed, except while pas sengers are passing through the gates on arrival or departure of trains, as pub lic safety demands the exclusion of all others from, the platform while trains are being made up. The hobo who desires to settle himself comfortably on the rods or brakebeam, or to creep Into the tool box or on to the blind baggage platform. Is also excluded by this means, and so. Is compelled to risk his life In Jumping the train as It slows up on entering the steel bridge. But there are many persons who have legitimate business within the yam who desire to get out Into the street while the gates are all locked. Train hands, telegraph operators, policemen, de pot porters and others who enter while the gates are open, frequently desire to remain -until after they have been closed and locked, by the regular depot official. The new turnstile will let these people out, blut it will not thereafter let them in. Tho apparatus is said to be the first of its kind set up In this part of the country. Juvenile PnsrlllBts. Two boys about 13 years of age fought for about 15 minutes yesterday on the Intersection of East Oak street and Union avenue, surrounded by a crowd of admiring Juveniles. They -went at It in true pugilistic style. There were upper cuts, hooks and knockdowns. When tho youngsters clinched they were separated and made to stand up. Quite a crowd gathered as the fight progressed. The boys slugged, each other severely, and both were knocked down. Finally the mothers of the boys came along and took tho young pugilists in charge and march ed them away. Both were severely pun ished. It did not seem to occur to any one who eaw the affair that it was not an edifying spectacle, &nd to stop the fighting. Constipation, which gives rlso to many graver troubles.

Pendleton Man Robbed of $70 One Snspcct Under Arrest. While going to the Union station at 8:30 last evening. Ml Obyle, a railroad em ploye at Pendleton, was held up by three footpads and robbed of $70, and a sliver watch. Obyle was unable to locate the place of attack definitely, but tho rob bery took place on the north end of Sixth street, near the station. One of the men suspected of the robbery was arrested an hour later by Patrolman Bailey. Obyle was walking down Sixth street when he was suddenly seized from behind by the three men, thrown to the ground and held by two of them while his pock ets were rifled by the third. A bundle of blue shirts tho old man carried, his hat and handkerchief were also taken. The men then ran away, leaving Obyle ly ing on the ground. When he recovered his senses sufficiently he proceeded to tho Union station and Informed Patrolman Bailey of the robbery. The latter brought him to the police station, and the police men in the vicinity were Immediately no tified. Back on his beat an hour later. Patrol man Bailey saw a suspicious-looking man with a bundle und6r his arm. He stopped him, and, examining tho contents, found tho shirts taken from the old man. The suspect was immediately placed under arrest, and gave the name of J. W. Brown. He said he had Just arrived from Cali fornia, and accounted for his possession of the shirts and the handkerchief belonging to Obyle as haviner found them In the street. He was booked with a charge of highway robbery at tho police station. 1 Obyle is being held as a witness. MAY BE OPENED TODAY. Mndison-Street Bridge Dravr Com plete except the Asphalt Work. The new draw on Madison-street bridge will be declared open for team traffic this afternoon If the County Commis sioners and City Engineer Chase decide that the daubing of hot asphaltum on the wood blocks has been done "according to Hoyle." The pavement was completed yesterday, and liquid asphalt brushed in between the blocks, but the officials who went down to take a look at it thought there were too many chinks which had not yet been filled up, and the first show er of rain will proceed to fill these with water, which the Commissioners desire as much as possible to exclude. The wood blocks on the west end of the bridge have begun to swell here and there. In bunches like those on Fourth street, and several bumps are noticeable between the street-car tracks. The bridge officials attribute this swelling to hurried and Imperfect treatment of the blocks, which were cut from green timber. Just before they were put down, last Spring. The blocking of the draw, it is said, has been thoroughly seasoned and boiled in carbolaneum, and no trouble from swell ing or shrinkage Is expected. The mock ing on the east end of the bridge Is stand ing the travel and the weather better, as more care was taken In preparing tho timber before it was laid down. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "A Trip to Chinatown" Tonight. What promises to be one of the great events in the way of theatricals this season is the engagement tonight, Friday, Saturday matinee and Saturday night at the Marquam Grand of Hoyt's revival or the famous "A Trip to Chinatown," with all the scenery, stage accessories and me chanical effects precisely the same, but on a more elaborate and extravagant scale, as originally presented at Hoyt's Theater, New York, during Its run of more than two years. "A Trip to Chinatown" as presented this season is claimed to be entirely differ ent from any former presentation. It Is headed by Harry Gllfoll, the leading comedian of Hoyt & McKee's staff, and the highest salaried artist ever in their employ. He 1b seconded by such people as Mable Montgomery, Fleurette, Clayton Kennedy, Will Phllbrlck, Emilie Gardner, Pearl Hamlin, George Shields, Robert Harty, Walter McCullough, Emily Curtis, Will Lewis and others. The early and brisk demand for seats in advance points to one of the largest and most fashionable audiences of the season. A matinee will be given Saturday afternoon. T. Daniel Frawley and Company. T. Daniel Frawley and his company come to Cordray's Theater next Sunday night fresh from the triumph of a bril liant engagement In San Francisco.

"Secret Service," the best military drama ever written, will be presented from Sunday to Wednesday nights.

Sans Gene," and Saturday night a new play, by Sydney Rosenfeld, author of "The Senator," will bo put on. It is called "A Divorce Col ony." Seats are much In demand already, and the prospective attendance threatens all records at Cordray's. ATROCIOUS VANDALISM. Summer Bonsei Bobbed, Contents Destroyed and "Windows Brolcen. The police department Is Investigating several cases of vandalism on the part of a crowd of young boys In Mountain "Viewv The summer residences of D. M. Dunne, George Good and C. B. Williams were broken ltno recently, furniture and crockery destroyed, articles of value car ried away, and tho Interior wrecked from top to bottom. Last Saturday they completed their work of destruction by smashing every window in C B. WI1U lams' residence, including tho glass in the front door, and the small panes of colored glass surrounding the center. Whips and harness were stolen and the boys did their work with thoroughness. Since Hallow'een is over and these acts are more malicious than usual, tho po lice are determined to punish the offend ers. Half a dozen boys were brought in for examination yesterday but no arrests have yet been made. Owner of Hnverly's New Minstrels. A few years ago a young man by the name of W. E. Nankevllle was thi prin cipal member of the vocal corps of Hav erly's Mastodon Minstrels ("Forty! Count em"). His clear tenor voice stood out in volume and sweetness above the others and his solos were always a musical treat, and such songs as "Memories of the Past," "When Jack Sails Home," "There's a Star in the Sky for Us All," "One Day in May" and'a dozen others which were composed by him grew Into popularity all this, as above mentioned, was a few years ago. Today the same W. E. Nanke vllle is sole owner of the New Haverley's Mastodon Minstrels. Other clever vocalists sing the popular 'songs now, while the progressive Nankevllle occupies the man ager's chair and also owns three other prominent attractions as well. Haverly's Minstrels comes this time entirely changed, and with everything brightly re arranged and a company of strength, its ensemble including George Wilson, orig inal Big Four, Gardner & Hunt, Baker & Teal, Mazier & Conley, Dan Allman, Larry, Brown. Robert Baker, an octet of superior singers, Claude Mankee'a mili tary band and concert orchestra, and enough novelties for half a dozen min strel shows.

With the utmost attention to detail, this great success of a successful author Is scheduled to be with us soon. The cast this season Is composed of actors and actresses of known ability absolute ly not a stick among 'em. This Is a re freshing Innovation when wo consider that most farce-comedy companies trav eling nowadays, as well as dramatic or ganizations and opera companies, carry some deadwood who make up In number what they lack in' talent. Hoyt's "A Day and a Night" company has for its members the pick of a crowd ed profession. The ladles are beautiful, graceful, talented. The men are dashing, brainy and attractive. The tout ensemble results in a perfect performance. No de tail has been forgotten, from the carpet to the pen-wiper. Of the play Itself, it may be superfluous to speak, because it Is so well known; and besides, like the reading of a bookv one who is told much about It does not care to read it, no matter how Interesting it may be, or how clever its author's reputation. Let It suf fice that "A Day and a Night" abounds with the very funny entanglements of a country deacon who visits New York for the purpose of getting some singers for a village choir. There are novel special ties. All the songs and music are up to date. There are delicate surprises in store for the patrons of this play, which will be at the Metropolitan on Sunday, No vember 18, and for one week. Thousands whom it has cured vouch for the value of Hood's Sarsaparllla as a cure for catarrh. COMFORT IN TRAVELING. Comfort Is the most necessary requisite In a trip across the Continent.
