FREE WOOL, PRACTICALLY.
In view of the fact that the prevent
tariff law contains the following proris
ion for a rebate on all ' exported articles
where imported materials on which
duties have been paid are used in their
manufacture, it is difficult to understand
the force of the claim that free ool
wonld stimulate American manufacture
of woolen goods and enable the American
manufacturer to compete more succea
fully'with the foreign market. Under
tjie present law the manufacturer for ex
port has to all intents and purposes free
wool saving one per cent, of duty. Here
is section 25 of the McKinley bill.
Sec. 25. That where imported mater
ials, on which duties have been paid,
are used in the manufacture of articles
manufactured or produced in the United
States, there should be allowed on the
exportation of such articles a drawback
equal in amount to the duties paid .on
the materials used, less one per centum
of such duties: Provided, that when
the articles exported are made in part
from domestic materials, the imported
materials, or the parts of the articles
made from such materials, shall so ap
pear in the completed articles that the
quantity or measure thereof mav be as
certained. Iteport has it that Roger Q. Mills has
bebome disgusted with the treatment
accorded. him and hag gone on a hunting
trip to Texas to be absent for three
weeks, It is said that the defeated can
didate for speaker has entirely washed
his bands of any' responsibility for or
connection with the program or business
of the house and that his hunting trip is
intended to emphasize his disgust at the
treatment accorded him by the' speaker
in the make-up oi the committees. If
thU report is true it only shows the. un
fitness of Mills for the position he
aspired to. The man who cannot broek
disappointment is not capacitated to re
ceive honor. If Mills has sulked and
ran away it shows that ex-Speaker Reid
sized him p correctly when he said if
Mills were elected speaker he would be
throwing the gavel at Rcid before a
week. ' -
VilI ye Recognized.
WA.siii.vtito'N, Jan. 4. -There has been
"a great deal of talk alwut preventing
David It. Hill from taking his seat in
the United'States senate because he con
tinned to serve as governor when his
term as senator began ten months ago.
It was thought that it might lie good
policy for a republican' senate to refuse
to sent him, but it is now generally be
lieved that nothing of the kind will be
attempted, aud that Hill will be sworn
in and will take his seat as if he had not
ignored the senate for nearly a - year.
;There is nothing to be gained by refus
ing to recognize his title. Governor
Flower would reappoint him so soon us
the seat was declared vacant, and the
legislature of New York, having been
declared Democratic by Hill's great
steal, would re-elect him immediately,
and his triumph would give him "a
greater place before the country than to
ignore him altogether. It is possible that
the action by .the senate might make
him the democratic nominee for presi
dent, and in that view of the case it
might be good republican politics to turn
him out, as he would be doomed to -do-feat.

Watch Factory Employe Dissatisfied.
Chicago, Jan. " 3. Three thousand
operatives of the Elgin Watch Company,
of Elgin, 111., stand ready to strike and
only await the signal to quit work. Sev
eral hundred skilled workmen in two
departments walked out .yesterday, and
unless all signs fail, the strike will be
come general. Two weeks asro there
were rumors that a general cut-down
was contemplated by the management.
The rumors were verified on the payday
following, when the employes found
their wages decreased from 15 to 16 per
cent. The claim is made that the 2800
employes of the watch company are or
ganized and are about to strike a blow
agiinst the recent reduction.

Capt. John V. Lewis, register of the
United States land office at The Dalles,
Or., is in the city, enjoying the first
sight of the country east of the Rockies
which he has had for twenty odd years.
Captain Lewis was among the lirst in
this state to enliit in the Union cause
and rendezvoused "with his company
at Camp Dick Robinson as
soon as it was opened. He served at
first in the Fourth Kentucky infantry,
but was transferred to the Twelfth in
fantry and then to the Fourth cavalry
by promotion. He was taken prisoner
at Chicamauga and was one of those
who escaped from Libby through the
famous tunnel. After eerving through the
war in the volunteers he received a com
mission in the regular army and was
sent to the Pacific slope, where he has
been, save for one short visit, ever since.
He tired of post service after-four or five
years and resigned and went to ranch
ing in Oregon and pursued that avoca
tion successfully till appointed register.
Capt. Lewis had an excellent military
record and his old comrades, whom he
has been looking up in Kentucky for the
last week, bare been delighted to see
him and to see how little a qnarter of a
century has changed him. Louisville.

NEW -LONDON IN WAR.
Tho Stratea-te Value or a Connecticut City
- In the Defense of New York. -.
Navy, officers who have studied the
region have often and urgently pressed
upon their department the importance of
developing the station at New London
and making it efficient. One must ad
mire their energy and faithfulness . in
continuing to lay before their superiors
the vital importance of strengthening
this strategic base in the outer defense
f New York in the face of long con
tinued pigeonholing of reports. That
their anxiety is not unfounded becomes
plain when - we consider that Great
Britain has a powerful station at Hali
fax, from which, if so. disposed, she
could hurl her thunderbolts of maritime
war upon this unprotected spot at very
short notice, precisely as she could
strike onr South Atlantic coast from the
Bahamas. She may never even wish to
do either thing, but isn't it rather fool
ish to remain unprepared for the blow
when we have ample resources for es
tablishing a guard against it?
The atqpunt of trade that passes
through Long Island sound coastwise is
hardly coueeived of by the' majority of
citizens. It amounts to a great many
million dollars' worth a year, and all
this trade could be paralyzed by a quick
stroke from a foreign navy. In 1880 the
entire munitions of. war manufactured
in the United States amounted to $11,
000,000. Of this total, $9,000,000 worth
was manufactured in Connecticut alone.
A foreign fleet in the sonnd, therefore,
wonld be able' to deprive ns of our main
source of munitions without even at
tempting to attack New York.
Cut off a city's supply of air and what
wonld it matter whether that city sur
rendered or not? Shut off from New
York in war time nine elevenths of the
material it needed for war and it would
be as helpless as a city without air' to
breathe. Bnt this is cot all. An enemy
in the sonnd could cut at New London
and again at New Haven, the chief lines
of land communication and railroad1
transportation between New England
and New York.
If of the loss which would thus be
caused a small percentage were now to
be promptly applied to building up New
York's outer line of defense, with a
strong navy yard at New London as its
base, the whole cost would be defrayed
in a few years without inconvenience to
anyone. In time of action, while our
battle ships and cruisers patrolled the
Race or engaged the enemy, with sup
port from the forts, our monitors, emerg
ing from New London, would lurk safe
ly behind Fisher's island, prepared to
assist; for there again, on the north face,
nature favors us with the sheltered -waters
of Hay harbor and West harbor. In
case of injury, vessels could quickly run
into New London, and repair at the navy
yard. Thus, while the surroundings and
topography are not the same as those of
the entrance,, to the Mediterranean, we
should still have what might well be
called "an American Gibraltar," quite
as invulnerable as the stronghold at the
pillars of Hercules, and much greater 'ip.
range.
' Boston can be equipped effectually to
defend herself? and Newport also, if
fortified, is in a position to ward off . an
enemy. ' But neither of these, by so' do
ing, can help to defend New York. New
London, on the- other hand, if her nat
ural advantages are utilized, can repel
any attack on New York from the east,
and thereby relieve the metropolis from
dread in that quarter. It is well, it is
indispensable, to protect New York from
assault by way of the Narrows. But
what will it avail to bar that small front
door if the broad rear entrance through
the sonnd be left undefended?- "
Women Doctors In England.
"In Great Britain," said Dr. Elizabeth
Blackwell, "onr seventy-three, registered
women doctors are few compared with
the three thousand in the United States.
Yet with the nine students in onr Lon
don school and the addition of the Edin
burgh classes and the fact that the Glas
gow Medical college has lately opened
its doors to women, clearly indicate that
the movement has taken sturdy growth
in onr country, and when our English,
work has been carried on for forty Tears
there is every probability that onr Brit-5
iah woman doctors will equal numerically
onr kinsfolk across the water."
