NAVY NEEDS MEN
Officers to Man Warships
Are Lacking,
TAYLOR REPORTS -ON. MATTER
Chief of Bureau of Navigation Rec
ommends Increase of Xuikocr of
' MidAIiipmen Wonld Concen
trate Bis Klghtinsr Fleets.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. The most cry-
tng need or the navy, according to the
annual report of Admiral H. V. Taylor,
:hle of the Bureau of Navigation, is more
afflcers to man our warships. He declares
that the preparations now going on for
the mobilization of the fleet for the "Win
ter maneuvers In the "West Indies has
met the department face to face' with a
critical condition due to lack of officers,
which he says has reached such a point
as to be dangerous to the efficiency of the:
fleet.
He says that the number of officers h'
pur ships Is less than the "number on board
the shlris of other navies, although as a
matter of fact our ships require x more
officers . than tho ships of other -navies be
cause we are compelled, to mh our ves
sels with green crews, .having little or
no knowledge of sea life: He submits, a
table showing that the present needs of
the naval " service require 1500 officers,
while the niihiber on the "navy list, in
cluding midshipmen after graduation, Is
only 1023, or 477 short This table is
based upon the lowest possible number of
officers needed on our battlensHips, 17
against an average number of officers'
for similar ships in foreign navies of 33
In England, 25 in France and 20 in Ger
many. He figurestthat the vessels now author
ized toy Congress tout not completed, will
require 49S .additional officers to- which
is to be added 25 per cent for officers sick
or on shore duty and 160 for casualties
during the next four years, or a total for
the vessels now building of 783. This
number added to the present shortage,
B77, will give 1360. The graduates from
the naval academies during the next
lour years will be 355. leaving a total
deficit July 1, 1906, of 1005, not counting
officers for auxiliaries who would be re
quired in the event of hostilities.
In addition to the Increase of midship
men provided for by the last Congress,
Admiral Taylor therefore recommends
a further increase of one midshipman for
each member and delegate in the House
and each Senator, one from the Distr3 t
of Columbia, and 10 annually at large.
He also recommends that the number of
lieutenant-commanders be Increased 30,
lieutenants, senior grade, 50, lieutenants,
junior grade and ensigns, 350.
A concentration of the naval forces in
two big fighting squadrons in the North
Atlantic, and Asiatic waters is recom
mended. For the present, the report says,
two squadrons are all that the present
number of our battle-ships will permit
To carry out this policy Admiral Tay
lor proposes to transfer the battle-ships
in the remaining squadrons to one or the
other of ;these heavy squadrons and com
pose the Pacific, European and South
Atlantic squadrons entirely of cruisers.
These changes will be undertaken as soon
as the "Winter maneuvers in the "West
Indies are concluded.
After the rearrangement tho distribution
of the fighting force of the navy will be
as follows: . - .
North Atlantic Station Xearsargc, Ala
bama, Massachusetts, Indiana, Maine,
Illinois, Iowa "and Texas. This force
should be in the future maintained at not
less than eight battle-ships.
Caribbean Division of North Atlantic
Station Olympia, Montgomery, Marietta,
Machias. Panther and Detroit.
Asiatic Station Kentucky, Oregon, Wis
consin, Monadnock and Monterey. The
toattle-ishlps.- in this squadron are to be
increased to the number of six as sown as
vessels of this class are commissioned.
The cruiser division of the Asiatic Sta
tionNew Orleans, Yorktown, "Wilming
ton, Helena, VIcksburg, Princeton, An
napolis, Don Juan de Austria and Isla de
Cuba. The Rainbow and a large gunboat
division will as heretofore be attached
to the squadron for service among the
islande and the rivers.
Pacific Station New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Marblehead and Ranger.
European Station Brooklyn, Chicago,
San Francisco and Albany.
South Atlantic Station Newark, Atlan
ta and Nashville. '
It is also proposed to form" additional
torpedo-boat flotillas with a destroyer
as the leading vessel,- after the plan of
the present group now In the West Indies
under the command of Lluetenant Chand
ler. The proposed concentration of the naval
forces, Admiral Taylor says, makes it de
sirable to have an officer of high rank In
command of each of the great heavy fleets
and he recommends for these two com
mands that Congress authorize the crea
tion of two Vice-Admirals, or as an alter
native, that It sanction the appointment
of two acting Vice-Admirals.
Admiral Taylor also recommends fur
ther Congressional action for the estab
lishment of a general staff to control and
administer the affairs of the fleet, to be
responsible for the personnel and to di
rect Generals, under the secretary of
military affairs of the fleet, and be re
sponsible to him for its condition.
No recommendations are made concern
ing the National Naval Reserve. The
-Admiral says the subject is still occupy
ing the attention' of the bureau, and that
the general "board has been frequently
consulted, but at present the bureau is
not prepared to make recommendations.
Much space Is devoted in the report of
the necessity for the gunnery training.
Prizes are recommended for excellency
In target practice. Attention Is called in
detail to the operations of the fleets and
the work of our naval officers and men lrf
the waters of the Philippines and of the
West Indies Is highly commended. To
the close blockade established by vthe
navy in the Island of Samar, he says,
the defeat of Lukban, the insurgent
leader, is largely attributable: Progres
sive instructions and maneuvers similar
to those which are to take place this
Winter In the Caribbean are to'-be made
a feature of the work of the Asiatic
squadron.
ORDXAXCE OFFICERS TOO FEW.
Chief of Department Says Present
Rules Are Unsatisfactory.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lO.General Will
lam Crozier. Chief of the Bureau of Ord
nance, in his annual report to the Secre
tary of War, says the effort to supply tho
Ordnance -Department with proper officers
under existing laws have failed, and some
thing else must be tried, and he adds that
vacancies can be filled by holding out
some inducement to "the eligible body of
officers, which contains abundant talent
General Crozier reports that the im
proved musket has been completed, and
with very satisfactory results, the vari
ous changes not only improving the weap
on, but cheapening and ' accelerating the
production. The rod bayonet is a feature
of the new rifle. Its advantage is said to
lie in the fact that it lightens the weight
of the gun and dispenses with the bavonet
and bayonet scabbard now in use, and in
the place of -which intrenching tools may
be carried by the soldier. The new piece
weighs but a little less than syz pounds,
considerably lighter than the German and
the Mauser, yet has greater velocity and
greater penetration. It is noted that opin
ions differ as to the value of the rod bayo
net The construction of 5000 of the now
muskets has been authorized.
General Crozier embraces in his report
the conclusions of the Board of Ordnance
and Fortifications on the recent tests of
the several systems for a new field gun
to show why the Ordnance Department
model Is superior. Ho says the bureau is
proceeding with the manufacture of the
field material from designs which It has
prepared , concurrently with the developr
mcnt of knowledge by teste. Generally
speaking, the new gun will have a cali
ber of three Inches and will fire a projec
tile weighing 15 pounds with an initial
velocity of 1700 feet per second; The
breach mechanism will te of the Ordnance
Department type, with certain modifica
tions for securing safety. The piece will
have a record of 45 to 48 inches. Defects
developed at the tests on the proving
grounds arc to be remedied. A newfeat
ure will be the bullet-proof shields with
which the pieces are to be provided. To
Captain Charles B. Wheeler is given credit
for the design, of , the gun carriage.
Speaking of mounted guns and carriages.
General Crozier says none of those tested
have been found superior to the type now
in use. Attention is called to the desira
bility of attaching elecfric motors to tho
disappearing gun carriages. Efforts are
making by the bureau to increase the
rapidity of fire of seacoast guns by the
Introduction of automatic .appllances-for
opening and closing the breech, and" by
the use of special devices for ramming pro
jectiles and inserting powder charges.
Reference is made to the discussion that
has been had relative to the use of the
disappearing sun carriages, and to the ac
tion of Congress and the determination of
the matter by the War Department after
tests by an Army board, which "recorded
its opinion that the mechanical principles
Involved in the chief elements of move
ments of the Buffington-Crozler. disappear
ing carriages were admirably adapted to
their purposes."
WIRELESS. TELEGRAPHY. FOR XAVY
Chief of Ordnance Iteconimeniii Con
trol .of All Coast Stations
WASHINGTON, . Nov. lO.-Government
control of all wireless telegraph stations
along the coast of the United States is
recommended by" Rear-Admiral R. B.
Bradford, Chief of the-Bureau of Equlp.
ment in his annual report, in the con
cluding portion, which was Issued today.
Foreign governments, it Is pointed out,,
are exercising careful supervision over
the location of wirele; stations within
their vaters, thus Insuring prompt trans
mission of messages at all times. Admiral
Bradford says It is proposed to establish
wireless telegraph stations for the pur
pose of instructing officers and men at
Newport, New York. San Francisco, and
probably other Naval stations. In order
to ascertain the effect of heat which Is
said to be injurious to the successful
working of wireless apparatus, a station
will be established at Key West, Fla.
Although other naval powers are far
In advance of the United States in the
installation of wireless telegraph and ap
pliances on board Naval ships, Rear-Admiral
Bradford does not believe any
ground has been lost by the United States
in pursuing a conservative policy In the
adoption of some particular system for
use In the Navy. Many vessels are nqw
ready for tho .Installation of wireless ap
paratus and others are being prepared.
No satisfactory result has yet been ob
tained by the board of officers in charge
of the tests of the various systems, and it
Is proposed to purchase other Instruments
for trial before a selection is made. Four
systems of wireless" telegraphy have been
developed in Europe which seem promis
ing. The bureau has purchased two sets
of each and certain appliances from the
makers which also appear promising. At
tention is called to the opportunity for
officers of studying wireless telegraphyf
only three having been engaged in this
work thus far. In foreign navies com
missions of distinguished officers are en
gaged solely in this service.
In regard to the construction of the
trans-Pacific cable; Rear-Admiral Brad
ford reports that, so far as he is aware,
the Commercial Pacific Cable Company
has signified no intention of following the
Government requirement for bufldlng a
cable as specified by the President The
report -says that, although the officers of
.the company appeared anxious before the.
adjournment of -Congress to obtain the
Pacific cable surveys made by the depart
ment, no. application has been made at
this department for this Information. The
repoTt says that no statement has been
given out concerning the route the com
pany Intends lo follow, nor have steps
been taken to prepare relay stations on
American terrltfiry considered necessary
-by the department with the exception of
acquiring the .site for a landing near
Honolulu.
In 61 foreign ports agreements have
been made to supply ships of the Navy
with coal at below current rates. Admiral
Bradford says that owing to the lack of
Naval coal depots, the fleet narrowly es
caped being left without coal last Sum
mer as a result of the strike. He adds:
"Should there be a general strike of
bituminous coal miners, or employes of
railroads carrying coal to tho tide "water,
or in transportation lines generally, the
ships of the Navy would at present be
helpless." To overcome the danger it is
recommended that large stocks of coal
be kept on hand at all times and places
at convenient depots along the coasts.
Rear-Admiral Bradford expects that the
demand for these depots will be even
greater in the future, in view of the
changing politics of the world. It Is
recommended that Port Royal, S. C,
which probably is to be abandoned for'use
as a Naval station, be the site of a Naval
coal, depot.
Admiral Bradford suggests' that a stor
age capacity of 25,000 tons should be se
cured at the Guam naval station, with
adequate means for handling the coal
rapidly, as this port will undoubtedly be
come an Important port of call with the
completion of the isthmian canal.
RURAL MAIL NEEDS MORE MONEY.
Assistant Postmaster-General Favors
u Greater Aojproprlntion.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The annual
report of Robert J. Wynne, First Assist
ant Postmaster-General., urges that In
view of the success iof the Tural free de
livery establishments and Its future ne
cessities the recommendation for J12.655,
S00 in the estimates for that purpose is
-reasonable. The amount is an Increase of
a little more than $5,000,000 over the cur
rent fiscal year, To correct what the re
port considers the injustice of compelling
a Postmaster to pay part of his salary for
cleric hire, Mr. Wynne urges legislation
authorizing the Postoffice Department to
make allowances for clerk hire at third
class offices when It 'is satisfactorily
shown that the Postmaster, by devoting
his time and attention to the office, is
unable to transact the postoffice business.
The advisability of erecting public build
ings for the establishment of branch post
offices in cities is discussed, and the plan
is indorsed as economical to the Govern
ment The report says an effort has been
made to equalize the salaries of clerks
in first- and second-class postoffices by tho
promotion of low-salaried but efficient
clerks. At the large first-class offices clerks
are not now working in excess of eight
hours a day, but it is Impracticable under
existing conditions to give clerks in the
smaller offices eight hours' continuous
service. An effort is being made to re
duce their hours to a fair basis.
In the city delivery service a plan is
proposed whereby In the larger cities sub
stitute carriers shall receive at least 530 a
month, nd In the smaller cities $25 a
month. Tho rural free delivery system,
the report, says, has become a permanent
feature of the postal service, and the serv
ice has increased the postal receipts and
improved conditions wherever it has been
put in operation. No deficiency, it is said,
will be created by this service. It will be
left to Congress to say whether estab
lishment of routes already laid out shall
be hastened and the installation of routes
in course of Investigation expedited. It
Is recommended that Congress make pro
visions for a leave of absence, with full
pay, for rural carriers, not to exceed 15
days In a fiscal year.
Extension toN rural carriers of pwer to
receive and register letters" has proved- so
acceptable a public .benefit that it is pur
posed further to increase the usefulness
by adding, under proper regulations, an
extension of, the money-order system to
rural routes. Rural carriers are now em
powered, to receipt for money orders. It 13
intended after January 1 next to empower
them also to pay money orders at the resi
dences of known patrons of the routes.
The maximum fee for a money order of
5100 Is SO cents. It Is recommended that
the maximum fee be reduced to 25 cents,
with proportionate reduction whcneerthe
amount exceeds $50.
CANAL TREATY IS ASSURED.
Colombia'! Stand Will Cause United
States No Trouble.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. Secretary
Hoy today had a conference with Senator
Cullom, chairman of the Senate commits
tee on foreign relations, and also with
Senator Morgan, the senior member of the
minority of the Senate" committee on canal
matters. The Secretary was able to show
that substantial progress is making to
ward the completion of a treaty with the
Colombian government, conveying the
necensary rights for the construction of
a canal across the Isthmus of Panama.
In fact, so well have the negotiations
progressed lately between Secretary Hay
and Senor Concha, the Colombian Minis
ter, that It is now. expected that by the
end of the present week all of the phases
of the proposition will have been- dis
closed, and little will remain to be done
to conclude the convention.
It can be stated that the attitude of
the Colombian negotiations presents no

Work Progressing Rapidly.
BAKER CITY, Nov. 10 (Speclal.)-rOne
of the best equipped mines in the state
for deep mining is the Bonanza mine, sit
uated eight miles northwest of Whitney,
in the Greenhorn district The Bonanza
is one of the noted mines of Eastern Ore
gon, having been worked lor many years.
In the earjy days Eometlmes it paid hand
sdmely, and again it, cost its owners
stack's of money without yielding an ade
quate' return for the time, labor and
money expended. Several- years ago this
.mine became the property of the Geiser
varying' success until Albert Geiser, who
succeeded to the management opened up
an immensely rich ore shoot and then it
payed handsomely. Some Pennsylvania
people- heard of the mine, and, after ex
porting it carefully, they made an offer
of 55CO.C00 for the property, which was
accepted. . .
- Up to tho .time of the last sale, all of
the ore taken from the mine was brought

equipped with one of the finest hoists In
the West The shafthouse is on the top
of a hill 5700 feet above sea level, wrjere
it can bojseen frmo Whitney. Exr
elusive of "the engine-room, the shaft
house is S4x36 feet square and 74 feet
high to gallowa Back of the hoist
building proper is another building which
housap the boilers and engines. The en
gines are the very latest pattern of up-to-date
hoisting engines, of 325 horse
power'. Theso engines are so finely ad
justed that they make considerably les3
noise than a sewing machine when In op-'
eration. The engineer has such perfect
control over them that he can raise or
lower the cage in the shaft a half Inch
and stop the engines Ihstantljv. A three
compartment shaft' Is being sunk. Each
compartment is 4x4. feet in the clear.
Two of the compartments will be, used
for the double cages, on "which the. ore
will be hoisted, and the other will be set
apart as the manway, through which the
miners can escape in case the machinery
should get out of order.
At the present time the shaft is down
something over 800 feet. Stations have
been cut ana levels started every 100 feet
A cress-cut -will be run on the 800-foot

The Smiths have considerable to do about
this mine. A. J. Smith is one of the en

requiring both skill and careful judgment
The hoist cost about $125,000 complete,
and is regarded "by mining experts as one
of the best in the "Northwest The engine-room
Is handsomely finished inside.
All of the woodwork Is painted white; the

very large piece of machinery, there is
not a particle of dirt to be found about

the story of a girl on the
Pacific coast.
Roth She and Her Mother Are En
thuMiastic Over a; TVonderf.nl
Eve'nt in Their Live.
Misc Maud E. Cable, cf Chico, Butte
County, Cal., is a bright, vivacious girl
of 15, "with the glow at health in her
cheeks. A few months a;o, however,
she was sick and weakly. How thia.
wonderful change came about ia best
told In the words cf her mother, Mrs.
Rose Cable, who says; . -
"My daughter was In a miserable state
of health, and I feared she could not
live. It began with irregularity in the
natural functions of her. sex, accompa
nied by severe headaches, heart and
stomach trouble, and finally she broke
down entirely. The doctor said sht had
anaemia, which, he said, meant that her
blood had turned to water.
"The pain in her head was so seveja
that she was hardly able to hear it; her
stomach w as so weak that she could cat
nothing but soup. Her liver was con
gested and torpid, her nerves all un
strnug, and her compleslon just like a
dead person's. She grew worse in apite
of the doctor's care, and finally her
hands and feet began to 3we!l.
"As advertisement in the papers led
me to have her try Dr. "Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People, and she besan to.
feel better almost immediately Upon
taking them. She grew better every
day. When she had taken them two
weeks she had gained eight pounds, and
fourteen by the time she had taken Ave"
boxes. Her color has come back, and
she looks like her old self. She has gone
to work again.
"I feel very grateful for what Dr.
Williams Pink Pills have done for her,
for I am sure they saved her life."
Anaemia is not the only disease which
succumbs to the potent Influence cf Dr.
Williams -Pink Pills for Pale People.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial par
alysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neural
gia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after-effects' of the grip, palpitation of
the heart, pale and sallow complexions,!
and all forms of weakness, either lrr
male cr female. They are sold by all
druggists, or direct from Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Schenectady, X. T. Price
50 cents per box; six boxes, 2 5.0.
Probably there is no' caution given
by a doctor to his patients which, is
so important or so constantly re-'
peated as the cqmmand to a girl no.t
to get her feet -wet.
A long train, of ills follows upon we
feet, and the health of many a
woman has been undermined by;
neglect of this.
With women wet feet are not the
result of . storms for then rubbers'
are worn. They are the result of
unexpected showers when no rub-'
bers are at hand. The best protec
tion is apair of "Queen Quality'
water-proof shoes light in weight,
water-tight as shoes can be made,
with, absolutely damp-proof sole.
They are a sure safeguard against
danger of wet pavements.
See these shoes for yourself and"
you will certainly buy a pair. We.
have them at all times in all sizesi
and widths.
