"VIEWS OF ADHIE L PORTER
The Military Mast Should Give Way
to Sail The Vessels TJnfi
for War Purposes.
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. This is tho battle confront
ing tho youug officers of the navy, and
it must be fought now. AVo demand

"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

NAVAL CHANGES.
A I'lau to Put More Ships
the
Pacific.
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.

Special by Tho Unitkd Pbkss.
Portland, Sept G. A bold black
mailing scheme, in which T. P. Joi.es,
an old ex-steamboat captain is the
victim has come to light.
La3t week Mrs. Ella Kose, a mar
ried woman, and George Eeuicks were
arrested for assault and battery and
burglary. The charges grew out of a
forcible entry iuto the Portland Baby
Home by the defendants: where Mrs.
Rose had children in custody, which
sue wisnea 10 ODiain.
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. Ho
also surrendered Mrs. Bose to the
authorities on the old charge.
Shortly afterwards Jonas was seen

for the release of Mrs. Bose.

Beadixg, Pa., Sept 6. A white
girl having two colored lovers, was the
cause of a murder in this city to-night
Katie Kunkle is the girl's "name and
her admirers were John W". Brown
and John Arbogast, all employed at the
Central house. Katie is young and
handsome and was a dining room girl.
The men served a3 porters. For
several weeks hard feeling existed
between them, one being jealous of the
other. To-night as Arbogast was
walking with the girl he encountered
Brown. Each drew a revolver and
shots were rapidly exchanged. 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.
Arbogast and the girl were arrested
and taken lo the station house. Ar

McAdam Junction, N. 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

lumbermen or section hands, who,
when they "come to town," use this
same hand-car as a means of transpor

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

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.

A Wonderful Cavein.
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.
