Sjuciiii hj Tin: United 1'kkss. Axnapolis, Sept G. Admiral David D. Porter has contributed to the pro ceedings of the United Stales naval institute his view on the paper re cently lead by Eear Admiral S. B. Luce upon "Naval Training." Admiral Porter believes that Admi ral Luce handles too tenderly those parlies in the navy, whoever they may be, who instituted the system of reduciug the sail power on 'ships of war and supplying evervthinir with military masts, without considering whether the ships were intended as cruisers or vessels for coast defence. Continuing, he says: "Not one of the new vessels, hitherto planned, or uuub is in ior me. purposes intended. In times of hostilities a cruiser cannot cruise for want of sail power and the so called line of battle ships cannot show in battle for want of proper en durance in time of war. The result will be that the present navy will be laid up on account of too much mili tary mast and entire lack of sail power, withont which a vessel of the navy is not a perfect machine. This question of sail power is one on which the efficiency of service hinges. Even' officer should bring to bear what influence he possesses to cause all cruisers and line of battle ships to bo fitted with sufficient sail Iower to enable them to cruise for Jong periods at sea, if necessary, with out euteiing port except for pro visions. Also that they may save coal as did tho Confederate steamer Ala bama, for an occasion when they may be called into action or in chase of ail enemy too fast to bo overtaken un der sail.

"As to coast defense vesscla thoy may be filled witli as many military masts as constructors choose to sup ply. "I think tho article under considera tion will have the effect of drawing more strongly tho attention oE the service to this vital question and the fight should commence at once, to as certain whether the ships of the fu turo are to lie fitted out under the same regime of mistakes that has characterized the navy for tho past ten years and which has given us a squadron of evolution that cannot cvolute and after training men at a training school under spars and sails, until they have become good Bailors, have relegated them to ships where OVER - 0 o F- Goods .-.NOW .

Special to Tiik ASTOniAX.I Washington, Sept 6. Navy de partment has under consideration a plan for a number of changes in the stations of ships, which, if carried out, will result in an increase in the naval force on the Pacific states, where within the law for years there has been more real work for the navy than in any other part of the world, and since the loss of the Trenton and Vandalia at Samoa, the force of ves sels on the Pacific stations have been inadequate to the work to be per formed. This proposed increase is to be se enredby sending tho Philadelphia to Europe as the flag-ship of that station, thus relieving the Haiti more, now in European waters. The Bal timore would then go to China as the flag-ship of the Asiatic station, thus allowing the Han Fraivisco, which, has been destined for that station, to' remain on the Pacific station and al lowing the Alliance, or one of the other vessels in Asiatic water, to join the Pacific station. This would give enough vessels on that station to permit the flagship vis iting the ports of the west coast of South America where a United States vessel has not been seen for two or three years, and at the same time a vessel could be kept at both Honolulu and Samoa.

Mrs. Pose and Benicks were re leased on bonds, Captain Jones acting as Mrs. Rose's security. The captain presuming upon the services he rendered her, called at her room in the Stowart house. While there Benicks and two other men raised a window leading into the room and cried: "Ah, ah, we have caught you," and then ran off. They afterwards told Jones that the -matter could be hushed up by the payment of S750. Tho captain hnrried to the bank and drew the blood money, but snielled a mice, and in stead of paying it over had a warrant issued for the arrest of Benick's.

There were a number of people on the street and the shooting caused great ex citement Brown fell with a fatal wound in the head, and was taken to the hospital in a dying condition.

B., is on the line of the New Brunswick railway, recently acquired by the Canadian PaciGe. and is six' miles from the boundary line of New Brunswick and Maine. There are about 300 inhabit ants, aud, strauge to say, there is not a single highway road leading into or running through the place. As a re sult there is bnt one horse in the place, which is regarded as al most a curiosity by the inhabitants. In the old day3 of stage-coaching there was a road running from Vauce borOjMc., to Quebec, but this has long since been so abandoned and neg lected that it has become useless to the villagers of McAdam, near which place traces of it can still be found. The houses in JJcAdams are built close along each side of the railway, and communication between them 13 only possible by crossing or walking along the track. If a man buys a bar rel of Hour, at the village store he loads it on a hand car and thus it i3 transported to the door of his house. The country surrounding thi3 place is exceedingly rocky, and people with in a radius of fifteen miles aro either lumbermen or section hands, who, when they "come to town," use this same hand-car as a means of transpor tation it their visit is not timed in ac cordance with the trains running over the road. Sunday is a gala day in this respect, and many are the hand-car par tie3 going and returning from fishing, shooting or bathing in tho adjacent lakes and woods. Even the minister who preaches is forced to xisc this means of transportation. The mis ?ionary who visits McAdam also sup plies Vanceboro, holding service at the latter place in tho morning.

VERY PAIE TOWAEDS CANADA. Endorsed By the Conservative Press Tba Best Since the Old Eeci- procity Treaty. Special by The UxirKD Press. Toronto, Sept. G. Interviews with Ministers of the Dominion govern ment in regard to Sherman's motion on trade relations with Cauadn, are published here. Mr. Foster, Minister of Finance, considered Sherman's resolution the best proposition made since the old reciprocity treaty. It seems fair to ward Canada. As to reciprocity in coal alone "ho was not in favor, as rule, of a single clause in reciprocity treaties. No doubt if the Senate, which wa3 the controlling body o Congress, passed the resolution, it would be considered by the parliament of Canada. Edgar Dewdnoy, minister of the in terior, had noticed that a portion of the conservative press spoke favorably of the Sherman resolution, and in the face of it the resolution appeared a reasonable one. Sir John 'Thompson, minister of justice, said it wa3 a delicate matter to speak of without consultation with the premier and his colleagues. All he conld say was that the proposi tion as he understood it, was an im provement on the former proposals emanating from "Washington, inas much as it did not commit either party to any particular method or plan to promote the object in view. In this regard the resolution seemed to him to bo unobjectionable. Stnmboul to Trot a 11 lie. Special to Tiik Astobiax.1 PortjjAXd, Sept. G.

There is intense excitement at Nor mandy, Tenn., says tho Pittsburg Dis patch, over the discovery of a cave that, so far, seems to surpass the Mammoth Cave in size and in gran deur. Yesterday morning as a party of gentlemen were inspecting tho coun try two and a half mile3 southeast from Normandy and directly between there and Tullahoma, they accidental ly discovered the entrance. The party entered the cave and walked a good distance by the light from the month, which is about eight feet in length by twelve in width. They having no light to go farther returned to Normandy, got lanterns and then went back to the cave, ar riving there about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. They walked iu what seemed to be a direct line all night but they found no eno. There was a small creek running through the cave from northeast to southwest. The dis tance traveled could not have been short of twenty miles. Eetracing their steps they arrived at the mouth at 4. o'clock this afternoon. They say there seems to be no end to the cave. In some places the passage is hundreds of feet wide. As tho month of the cave lies at the foot of what is known as the table-lands or barrens, it is be lieved it oxtends under the whole table-land. 1??.J?10J?.009P o o o o o p"o"qo o pjb OVER o F .NOW BEING OPENED : JL T 5- CLOTHING In Occident Hotel - FEW WILL BE RECALLED" Great Political Mortality Among Hembers of Congress.
