Washington, Deo. s.—Secretary of
the Navy Moody in his annual report
says:
It is gratifying to note that the
percentage of citizenship in the en
listed force of the navy is steadily
growing. The number of enlisted
men in the service June 30, 1903, in
cluding petty officers, seamen and
other ratings, landsmen for training, |
and apprentices, was 27,245. Of this j
number, 79.S per cent, were native
born and 10.9 per cent, naturalized j
citizens, the total percentage of eiti- j
zenship being, therefore, 90.7 per !
cent., as compared with 89 per cent,
at the beginning of the fiscal year.
The effective force of the navy was
Increased during the fiscal year by
the addition of 25 new vessels. These ,
vessels were the battleship Maine, '
the four harbor defense monitors, 1
Arkansas, Nevada, Florida and YVyom- ,
ing; twelve torpedo boat destroyers; !
one torpedo boat, and seven sub
marine boats. vSince the close of the
fiscal year, and therefore not in
cluded in this enumeration, addition
al vessels have been accepted as fol- j
lows: One protected cruiser, the J
Cleveland; one torpedo boat destroy- \
er, the Macdonougli. Aside from the
foregoing vessels which were built
for the navy, there were transferred
from the army the transports Han
cock and .Lawton, which have been
fitted up for use as receiving ships,
and the hospital ship Relief, and
from the treasury department the !
schooner Kagre.
During the fiscal year two vessels I
were dropped from the navy, the
iron tug Leyden, which was wrecked,
and the iron paddle-wheel gunboat
Monocacy, condemned as unservice
able, and later sold.
The chief of the bureau of ord
nance reports that "all guns afloat
are in good condition, unci all vessels
in commission are fully equipped and
ready for immediate service." The
armament for the battle ships
Maine and Missouri, and the four har
bor defense monitors Arkansas,
Florida, Nevada and Wyoming has
been completed and installed on
board, and that for the Ohio is in
readiness for installation.
A total of 4*7,03ij tons of coal, at
a cost of $2.435,1C5.37, an average of
about $5 per ton, was purchased for
the use of the navy at home and
abroad during the past year. The
amount of coal actually used was 27
per cent, greater than during the
preceding year, while its cost was 10
per cent, less per ton. The relative
amount of foreign coal used de
creased from 23 to 21 per cent, of the
entire coal consumption.
The centralization of control and I
uniformity in the manner of carry
ing out target practices has resulted
in placing the ships in practical com
petition with each other in the mat
ter of straight shooting, and our
marked improvement is due, in part
at least, to this cause. Competition
is the life of all games and is esseiii
tial to skill in any sport. It is the
incentive for all athletic training.
We have simply utilized these human
traits in the training of our gun
pointers and gun crews. Gun crews
now are practically teams, and tar
get practices are contests between
them.
The interest and enthusiasm dis- '
played in the present system of train
ing has been universal with both offi
cers and men throughout the service
and the spirit of competition hag
been marked. The most commend
able energy and zeal has been dis
played by gunnery and division offi
cers in developing the team work of
their gun crews and rectifying cer
tain minor defects in the ordnance
material which were discovered by
the improved skill in gunnery. Spe
cial credit is due turret officers for
the very marked decrease in the
loading interval of heavy gitns.
Our present great gun target is a
piece of canvas 17 feet high by 21 feet
wide, the range is nearly a mile, and
only holes in the canvas count as
hits, (inns are tired singly, and are
allowed a certain time in which tc
make all the hits they can. and the
gun making the most hits wins.

John Mitchell and the national or

15 yesterday resumed the coal strike
conference. It is reported that if
the operators refuse to grant a con
ference, or in the event that a con
ference is granted and no amend
ment is reached, it is the intention
of the mine workers' officials to tie
up all Colorado mining industries in
a sympathetic strike if possible.
Mr. Mitchell and other mine work
ers were served yesterday with pa
pers in a damage suit for $55,000 filed
by the Victor Fuel Co.
Denver, Col., Dec. 4.—Delos A. Chap
pell, president of the Victor Fuel Co.,
and F. J. llearne, president of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Co., had a
conference Thursday to agree upon a
line of action to be pursued in re
spect to any proposition that may be
received from the United Mine Work
ers looking to the settlement of the
strike ill southern Colorado.
It was definitely decided to reject
the proposition which, they were in
formed, had been agreed upon at the
conference at Trinidad between Pres
ident .Mitchell and the district offi
cials to call off the strike if the oper
ators will grant an eight-hour day,
recognition of the union being
waived. It also was practically de
cided to reject any other proposition
that may come from the United Mine
Workers.
"Our course is fully determined
upon," said Mr. Chappell. "We have
nothing whatever to do with Mr.
Mitchell and his colleagues."

Washington, Dec. 4.—The senate
committee on military affairs yester
day resumed its hearing in connec
tion with charges filed against Gen.
Leonard Wood in opposition to his
confirmation as major general.
Ray Stannard Baker, the man
whom Maj. Runcie said was at the
dinner with Gen. Wood and himself
when the proposed magazine article
criticising (ien. Brooke was discussed,
was a witness.
-Mr. Baker confirmed some portions
of the testimony of Maj. Kuncie and
contradicted or qualified other por
tions of it. He denied that there had
been any consultation between him
self and Gen. Wood relative to the
publication of IJimcie's article re
ficeting upon the administration of
(ien. Brooke. He said, however, that
he had talked with Gen. Wood re
garding an article which was subse
quently published over his own signa
ture.
Concerning the article which was
published over the signature of Maj.
Kuncie, Mr. Baker said it had been
given him by Kuncie, but that so far
as he knew Gen. Wood had had no
knowledge of it previous to its publi
cation. lie said he had taken dinner
with Gen. Wood and Kuncie several
times at Santiago, but that the pub

Washington, Dec. 3.-—The annual
report of Fourth Assistant Postmas
ter General Bristow for the fisca
year ended June 30, 1003, makes the
following recommendations:
An appropriation to construct in
spectors' lookouts in postoflices
wherever necessary in the opinion ol
the postmaster general; that the in
ter-state law be amended so as tc
prohibit common carriers from aid
ing and abetting in the green goods,
lottery or any other scheme carried
on partly by mail and partly by com
| 111011 carrier, in violation of the pos
; tal laws; that special agents and
route inspectors be hereafter desig
nated as rural agents; that the pro
vision that rural carriers shall not be
prohibited from doing an express
package business be repealed; that
the maximum salary of a rural car
rier be increased to $750 per annum
I for a rouV' of 25 miles or more in
length, and the enactment of a law
j requiring assistant postmasters,
! cashiers and other employes to give
bonds to postmasters * direct and
j holding postmasters responsible un-
I der their own bonds.
The estimated expenditure for
I both city and rural free delivery ser
: vice during the fiscal year beginning
! July 1, next, will aggregate about
$47,000,000. There were 15.061 ap
-1 pointrnents of postmasters during
the year and the removals of post
-1 masters for cause showed a decrease,
j There were 4,402 postoffices discon
j tinned, of which 2,163 resulted from
the extension of rural free delivery,
the salaries of the postmasters of the
latter offices aggregating $121,332.
On July 1, last, there were 74,10!)
postoflices, of which 242 were first
class, 1,107 second class, 300 third
class and 09,130 fourth class. City
j free delivery service was established
! at 99 postoffices, making a total of
| 1,032 free delivery offices.
There are in operation 19.39S rural
free delivery routes. It is estimated
that 3,200 additional routes can be* es
tablished out of the appropriation
now available, making 22.07S which
1 will be in operation or ordered es-
I tablished by March 1, 1904. To main
tain the service 011 these routes dur
ing the fiscal year from July 1, 1904,
to June 30, 1905, will Require $13,500,-
| 000.
If congress provides for an in
creased number of agents as recom
mended, it will require about $19,000,-
1 000 to maintain :uid install the ser-
I vice during the next fiscal year.
If the maximum salary of the car
riers is increased from SOOO to $750
per annum, as recommended, it will
necessitate an increase in the above
estimates of about 25 per cent.
Mr. I'ristow's report further says:
"An investigation, which is still in
I progress, has shown that for a num
ber of years supplies for the free de
j livery service have not been pur
-1 chased with an eye single to the pub
lic interests. Both in the matter of
| quality and the cost of equipment the
I ruling consideration has been pri
j vate gain. This applies to articles
i furnished under regular contract,
1 such as street collection boxes and
; carriers' satchels, as well as to those
i bought in the open market under the
■ exigency privilege, which has been
j much abused.
"Favored contractors, abetted by a
| trusted but unfaithful official, have
corrupted the public service. An
, early and thorough reformation will
I be undertaken along the line of ser
j vice equipment with the prospective
[ result of improved service at reduced
| cost. Fraudulent contracts have been
| abrogated. In the re-letting of con
i tracts honest competition will have
j fair play."

Washington, Dec. s.—An important

; statement. "1 spent a very pleasant
| evening," he admitted finally. "That
iis about all there is to it. You can
j say, however, that all those stories
. about wide difTerences between the
president and myself are absurd."
Odell's Statement.
Xew York, Dec. 3.- Gov. Odell held
two conferences yesterday with Sen
ator T. C. I'latt and Chairman Dunn,
of the republican state committee.
: Subsequently the governor made a
! statement in which lie said they had
i arrived at a conclusion that was sat
isfactory to all and added: "There
is no reason for any friction in the

j common desire for party success and
j increased votes and propose unitedly

Panama, Dec. 3.—The canal treaty
was signed yesterday. The treaty
I as approved and signed by the Prnia

WHY MONEY IS LOST IN MIN
ING INVESTMENTS.
Washington, D. C. —(Special.)— Mr.
E. M. Farr, well known In Washington,
and whose investments in mining stock
have been uniformly successful, was in
terviewed recently at Colonial Hotel,
where he lives, on the reasons why
mining investments often turn out bad
ly. "Many most widely advertised
properties are worthless," he said, "yet
people take 'flyers' in them without
even knowing if the titles are perfect.
Would they do this In real estate?
'Flyers' in mining stock are out of
place. Any mining stock worth invest
ing In is good for an Investment of five
hundred dollars. Buy from the com
pany direct, where the stock can be
purchased cheapest and the money be
used to develop the property. Don't
buy from fiscal agents or outside brok
ers, young man, nor spend money in
developing prospects when you can buy
into large well-developed mines which
will speedily become dividend-payers.
Don't be caught by names of prominent
men, loaned for blocks of stock. In
vestors sometimes list their stock with
brokers to make & quick profit. No
large returns or permanent incomes can
be secured unless the stock is held un
til the property Is a dividend-payer.
Ceci* Rhodes, the African mining
multi-millionaire, once said: 'Less
money is lost proportionately In mining
than in any other business In this world
and larger fortunes are made in mining
and in mining stock than in any other
business or investment on earth. A
good mining stock will pay 20 to 100
per cent, more easily than municipal,
railway or government bonds will pay
five per cent.' Learn if the business is
legitimately conducted and dividends
are assured? Are the managers ex
perienced men and utilizing the capi
tal to secure the largest returns? Is
it worked for minerals or for selling
stock?"
"Have you any companies In mind
that fulfill these conditions," Mr. Farr
was asked. "Yes," promptly replied
that gentleman, with a smile, "I k.aow
of at least, two."
A GENEROUS PROPOSITION
William A. Clark) of Montana, Will
Clvo 1,150,000 Acre* of Itlcli Lanil
to t'ltlzeii* of State I nlcs* ColisreSM
Oponn Strip lor Settlement.
The gift in fee simple of 1,150,000
acres of as fine agricultural and graz
ing land as there is on the American
continent to the people or citizens
of a single state is a proposition so
stupendous as to cause one to think
of an "Arabian .Nights" story. Vet
this is what. William A. Clark, United
States senator from Montana, plans
in case the bill which lias long been
before congress throwing open for
settlement a s'trip of the Crow res
ervation, 75 miles east of Hillings, in
the counties of Yellowstone, Rosebud
and Custer, Montana, and Sheridan,
Wyoming, containing the land men
tioned. fails of passage at the next
session of congress.
(Senator Clark, whose wealth is
estimated at nearly $200,000,000 has
gone over all the ground contem
plated in the proposed Crow treaty,
it being his wish that every detail in
connection thereby be mafic plain to
liim in order that lie may be able to
present the claim of the people of
Montana as forcibly as it can be pre
sented to congress, and he says that
unless favorable action be bad on t%*
bill he will procure the enactment of
a law empowering him to make a
personal treaty with the Crow In
dians, and he will buy the tract out
right on his own personal responsi
bility.
This purpose of Senator Clark was
recently communicated to Chief I'len
ticues, of the Crows, who immediate
ly summoned a council of the head
men of his tribe, and the proposition
was thoroughly discussed, resulting
in ready acquiescence on the part of
the council in the proposed scheme.
The execution of Senator Clark's
purpose will cost him something
over $2,000,000. This to him would
lie a mere bagatelle, yet it would en
able thousands of American home
seekers to rise up and as one man
and acclaim: "Great is Clark! Long
live our benefactor!"
This is one of the most valuable
strips of agricultural land there is
in the country, and it is Senator
Clark's intention, if he lias to buy
the tract, to have incorporated in the
special act, empowering him to do
so, a clause absolving him from any
claim to the land whatever. It is his
intention, lie says, to make it n'Wec
simple presentation to his country
men, without regard to race, color
or previous condition of servitude.

With 4 per cent, on your surplus

little thought. Perhaps it's all your
local Savings Bank can afford to pay,

you can invest it in a legitimate, high

specially adapted to small investors.
Ask for particulars; we'll gladly furnish
them.
