The improvement in guns has rendered the old naval station at Gibraltar indefensible, and at Recently the Navy League severely criticized the manner in which the Government has neglected the navy, and particularly the naval stations in the,Med iterranean. .The League asserts there is no break water at Malta, that Egypt is undefended, that black powder and blunt-nosed shells are still in use on many battleships, that a number of ships are armed with old-fashion guns, and, in fact, that the navy has been allowed to fall behind the requirements of the time, and is not a sufficient protection for the empire against a powerful foe. DISPATCHES fr"om London are to the effect that the British are so dissatisfied with the conduct of affairs at the seat of war in South Africa that it is probable the Government will recall Lord Kitchener and deprive him of command while nominally promoting him. Of course, the degree, of a popular discontent can be easily exaggerated, and therefore a report of an intention to remove Kitchener may be without foundation, but none the less it is evident the British public has become extremely dis satisfied with the management of the affairs of the empire. Moreover, the discontent is not confined to South African matters. The Ministry is about as un popular as the general in command of the army, and if the Liberal party had a leader and a policy Lord Salisbury might be relieved about as soon' as Lord Kitchener.

The return trip was by way of Guerrero, to Fourteenth, to Bryant, to Essex, to Harrison and then to the starting point. THE BOUNDARY LINE— E. M., City. The cry "Fifty-four forty or fight" was a Democratic party cry. • The yielding to British claims as to the northeast bound ary by the, treaty of 1S42 led to this cry* to spur the Government to enforce ex treme'claims in the Northwest. In the latter part of Tyler's administration (1S44-45) Calhoun, then Secretary of State, made an offer to accept the 49th degree as the boundary, -which a. calm view of; the facts seemed to show was the utmost | the United States could rightfully claim. After ' several- refusals on the. part, of England that country accepted the propo sition and a treaty followed. The United States received what it asked for. The funny thing about the great hot spell in the East is that many of the, leading papers in the big cities over there are clamoring for the removal;of the chief of the Weather Bureau because his predictions did not suit them while they were sweltering.

In each case the operations are" described as being very nearly all that is required to prove the success of the inventor in solving all the difficulties of his problem. In the test of the torpedo boat several warships in the 1 harbor were warned that attempts would be made to attach a torpedo to one or more of them. Signal stations were established in various parts of the bay and a sharp lookout was kept. In spite of all vigilance the torpedo boat was not discovered. She made her way under water, easily avoiding all obstructions and making upon the surface no indication of her pres ence. Thus, without difficulty, she evaded all the signal stations, gained a position under the bottom of one of the warships, fixed a torpedo in place and made her way back to a place of safety. . ; The reports of the flying ship are equally glowing. We are told the inventor started with his ship from St. Cloud, rose about half a mile in the air, proceeded in any direction he chose, circled around over Paris at will, and finally, when a slight accident occurred to the rudder, he 'brought the ship to the ground, re paired the defect, rose once more in the air and made his way back to St. Cloud. It is added that during his whole course he did not make use of a single, ounce of ballast to preserve the equilibrium of his craft. Neither of the reports is official. Doubtless when we get the official statements we shall learn that there are- defects in the submarine torpedo boat and in the flying ship. Still it will be noted that, marked progress has been made toward the accomplishment of each of these marvels. Scientists and inventors are working at them in all civilized countries. It was but a little while ago that it seemed as if Count Zeppelin woufd win for Germany the credit of producing the first flying machine, but now it appears that France may have it. A similar rivalry exists in the efforts every where being made to produce a successful submarine boat, and there is no telling in what year or in what nation the feat will be achieved.' . TORPEDOES AND FLYING SHIPS. THE weather was the predominant factor in trade last week. All over the West, and particularly the Southwest, the heat was intense, running up here and there to 105 and even no degrees in the shade. No rain of any consequence fell in the great corn belt, which covers the States of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and some parts of Iowa and Okla homa. Every day the sun burned down from a cloud less sky, parching the already dry soil, and, in the jargon of the grain trade, "burning up" the crops, cereal, vegetable and fruit. The effect of this heated term, the severest in thirty years, was serious. It cut down the corn and oat crops and started wild speculation in these two cereals Cn the different exchanges throughout the West and East. It very largely caused the slump in railroad stocks in Wall street by menacing the earnings of the Western U"unk lines in the coming fall. It kept people indoors, drove farmers from their fields and towns people from the streets, and played the mischief with the retail trade. It damaged the internal trade of the West to the amount of many millions, particularly in the Southwest, where numerous cancellations of orders for merchandise are reported. It burned up the vegetables and potatoes in Texas and sent that State to California for cabbages and other garden and field stuff, which we are now sending down there. . But while the West and Southwest suffered, other parts of the country escaped. The Northwest reported business good, owing to the excellent prospects for the wheat crop, and the East and South sent the usual reports for this time of the year. The country's bank clearings showed a gain of 40 per cent over the same week last year, and, with the exception of Minneap olis, which seems to be a chronic laggard of late, every important city in the country showed an in crease. The failures were 208, against 196 for the same week last year. The great staples show little change. They seldom do in midsummer. More tone was reported in iron and steel, though new orders were small. The manu facturers of agricultural implements, who have been holding off for an expected decline in material, en tered the market again for steel bars. Structural ma terial and builders' hardware were quoted in brisk demand. The wool market seems to be slowly im proving, and the demand for the finer grades of raw wool has been very good of late. The shipments of boots and shoes, while smaller than during the pre ceding week, are still large, while hides and. leather are quoted firm and in good demand. The railway earnings continue heavy, those in June showing an increase of 6.8 per cent Crop conditions, excluding corn and oats, which have been damaged by the extreme heat, are fine. According to the Government reports, we will have about 700,000,000 bushels of wheat, 685,000,000 bushels of oats and 2,058,000,000 bushels of corn. Hay will be ¦ good crop except in the Southwest, but fruit will cot be heavy anywhere this year. Conditions in Wall street were disturbed last week. The damage to the Southwestern crops led to a fear that the railroads would suffer along in the fall, and this led to a desire to liquidate. On several days stocks went down, with a run. hiit after each decline there was a tendency to recover the lost ground, which, however, was not regained. There is nothing new in the local situation. East ern and Western conditions are not materially affect ing us, and we are placidly pursuing the even tenor of our way, after the California fashion. All conditions seem favorable, and there is nothing in sight to cause distrust. . . THE WEATHER AND BUSINESS. Judge Charles F. Lott of Orovllle Is at the Uck. O. J.

PERSONAL MENTION. (The Call does not hold itself responsible for the opinions published below, but presents them for whatever value they may have as communications of general interest. Editor Call— In your editorial, entitled "Fact and Fanaticism," In Tuesday's is sue, you reiterate the oft disproved stories of the springing up of saloons in the vicin ity of Fort Sheridan immediately after the passage of the anti-saloon law; and you allege that that vicinity was griven over to drunkenness and debauchery on tbe first payday following the passage of the act, and then add: "The same results have followed the abolition of the canteen everywhere." It is incredible that The Call manage ment does not know those assertions to be false. It must know that It 13 the policy of the "War Department and of the liquor power everywhere to discredit the anti-canteen law, and that to that end both the War Department and the Liquor League are sending out those lying-re ports to alt the papers that will publish them. This must be known to The Call as well as the fact that these many fabri cations of the canteen's friends have been shown to be false, time and again. The Mayors of the cities where the riots on payday are said to have occurred, the constabulary and police force, the officers in charge of the several commands con cerned, have made affidavits innumerable to show, and have thereby shown, tint the stories of payday riots, the erection of new saloons, etc., are absolute false hoods, propagated by the "War Depart ment and the rum power. This you mu3C know. Then, in God's name, why do you retail it regularly as news, if you are not in • the service of the canteen gang at "Washington to deceive the people? The value of any newspaper to the public Is in direct ratio to the honesty and sincer ity of that paper; and when it (.is known that the "War Department or the liquor league can procure in any newspaper the publication of known falsehoods, with the intent to deceive the public, the life of that paper should speedily close. Very truly, G. P. HURST, Woodland, July 9, 1901. LAW. HOW HARRY MUNN OF OJIAHA CONTRIVED TO SECURE JENNIE CALI^AHAN'S PICTURE. IN. order to obtain a photograph of the woman he^adored before he departed ¦ for the Philippines, Harry Munn turned in a fire alarm from opposite the flat ¦where Miss Jennie Callahan "resided In Omaha. When the gongs of the fire engines sounded and the fire ap paratus came thundering down the street Miss Callahan naturally looked out of the window facing on the street. Opposite stood Munn with a camera. As Miss Cal lahan's face appeared the camera clicked and Munn hurried away with the treas ure. Munn was taken to the police station, where he told his story. He said that he had been in love with Miss Callahan for Italy has ordered twenty submarine boats.

It was founded by King Fred- Crick IV and b^gan with 100 pupils. This number fell off to forty when Norway was separated from Denmark in 1814, and at the present time it has only twenty four cadets. • • • It Is twenty-five years since Turkey placed any naval orders in England, all such contracts having gone to Italy and Germany, chiefly to the latter country. The only vessel now being built for Tur key is a cruiser of 3250 tons, 12,000 horse power and 22 knots speed, at Cramp's yard. The contract price is $1,890,000, pay able in twelve installments, work to begin with the first payment In advance and to complete in twenty-two months. Japan Is contemplating the building of six large docks Jn addition to the two , at Yokohama and Kure of sufficient size to accommodate ships of \ the Shikishima class. The new docks will be located as follows: Yoko3uka and Omlnato one each, Sasebo ana Malziiro two each, apd one each for Kobe and Hakodate. Within a few years Japan will have twelve. large docks— four owned by private \ firms — of the largest size. The first report about the failure of the NarVal trials proves to have been Incor rect. The boat navigated the open sea for forty consecutive hours without stoppages and covered a distance of 260 miles in that time. About one-half of the distance was made while. the boat was submerged. The. sea was rough, the crew does not appear to have suffered unusual hardships and French advocates of this type of subma rine boats are naturally elated over the result." # -;•/; The l^atnha d' Amelia, supposed to be a cruiser, built at Lisbon for the Portuguese navy, has had her trials, with highly sat isfactory results. The contract called for 5000 horsepower and a speed of 17.5 knots, and the full power steam trial gave 5396 horsepower, and 20.6 knots speed. The ves sel is of 1600 tons displacement and carries the heavy armament of four 5.9-lnch quick-firers, two 3.9-lnch, two three-pound ers and four machine guns.- Notwith standing this formidable battery for so small a vessel, it is suspected that she Is not actually intended for war purposes, but will simply serve as a royal yacht..

SAN FRANCISCO during the present week will entertain many thousands of visitors. Probably the city will be as near being crowded as at any time in its history. Large numbers of these guests are to be assembled morning, afternoon and evening in thronged auditoriums, and other large numbers are to be 'in the open air at the .shooting- park all day long. Thus our summer climate is to be tried within doors and out of doors by people gathered in large multitudes, and it is safe to predict that from first to last there will be felt no discomfort on account of the weather. , We are going to give to all of our guests a cordial welcome and the best entertainment our city can pro vide. There will be dinners and social receptions and fruits and flowers, not only in plenty but in profusion. When all have been tried, however, the one thing that will have contributed most to the enjoyment of guests, and of ourselves, will have been the cool, bracing days and nights that have kept every one in full vigor for work or for pleasure. We hardly appreciate the full value of our climate. We grumble at times because of a fog or a wind that blows a little too briskly for our satisfaction, but, in comparison with the sweltering heat and humidity that prevail during the summers in the East," our breezes are genuine delights. For upward of. three weeks now the reports from the East have been filled with accounts of the severity of the heat over the whole region from Kansas and Nebraska to the Atlantic Coast. In the cities the daily record of deaths caused by heat prostration is almost like the report of casualties sent from a battlefield. In fact, in the war in South Africa the British and the Boers are not .killing one another so fast as men and women are perishing beneath the fierce heats of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston. Nor is it in the cities only that the weather is like a calamity. In the fields of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska the very crops are being parched and dried up by the blistering sun. The corn fields that once promised to yield bountifully have now been so badly blighted that the farmers hardly see enough corn in prospect to feed their hogs and cattle, snd, as a consequence, they are sending them prematurely to market, and selling them for whatever price can be obtained. While such conditions prevail in the East in town and country we receive our guests in a climate where every hour of day or night is pleasant, wnere there is always exhilaration in the breezes and comfort in the sun. As a city for summertime conventions or gatherings of any kind there is no other city in the Union equal to this, nor even one that approaches it. One of the notable results of the hot season in the East was a demonstration of the . superiority of the automobile over horse carriages. When horses were dropping in the streets all over town the machine was all right. . some time and had finally made known to her his heart's desire, but had Deen Informed that his love was not recipro cated. Driven to desperation by her re fusal, he enlisted In the regular army and was booked to sail for the Philip pines shortly. Munn asked MIsa Callahan for her photograph that he might derive some consolation from her memory while far across the sea. This was^ also denied him. Then Munn tried the flre alarm, scheme and It worked. TURNS IN THE FIRE ALARM TO GET THE GIRL'S PICTURE the present time the entire harbor and shipyard . can be commanded by concealed batteries placed on Span ish soil. To provide a sure harbor, it has been de clared by a committee to be necessary to abandon the western harbor altogether and to construct another on. the eastern side of the rock. The estimated cost is $20,000,000. Upward of ten years -will be required to complete the work. With such heavy, expenditures called for in the way of providing for defense at home, it is not strange that the British should be impatient over the continuance of a war which is costing them more than $5,000,000 a week. The latest popular outburst has been due to the manner in which the press reports from the seat of war are censored, and the fierceness with which Kitchener lias been criticized ' for the- censorship shows how irritable the people have become. Should Kitchener lose his office, however, Salisbury will have to thank the incapacity of the Liberals for not having to lose his at the same time. ' : • : - . . WE publish a communication from : G. P. Hurst, which indicates a state of- wounded feelings on that gentleman's part because we called for proof of Rev. Mr. Ferguson's statements regarding the army canteen. We must beg Mr. Hurst's pardon for saying that we don't know that "the. stories of payday riots, the erection of new saloons, etc., are absolute falsehoods, propagated by the War Department, and the rum power." Nor does he know it, nor is it known by any one, for it is a falsehood. It is on a par with Rev. Mr. Ferguson's statement that army chaplains "have been ordered from Washington to cease reporting the army saloon." • We are aware that there is some difference of opin ion amongst army officers as to the effect of the can teen and the results of its abolition; but we are also aware that the preponderance of testimony favors the canteen as against the deadfall. The Hursts, Fergu sons and those who stand with them are a unit with the rum power for the deadfall against the canteen. The army surgeons, who have in charge the physical health of the enlisted .men, are practically unanimous in favoring the canteen as against the deadfall. The deadfall is a stalking horse for worse vices than drunk enness, which bring in their train those dreadful taints which the army surgeon must deal with. When the curse of all armies declines with the rise of the can teen and increases again with its fall one would sup pose that at least the anti-canteen clergy would be impressed with the sanitary superiority of the canteen over the deadfall. But they are not impressed. In stead, they devote their time to making statements about the President and Secretary of War that are point blank lies, and to conjuring a rum power that is in favor of a canteen when not a drop of rum or any distilled liquor was allowed to be sold! ' Mr. Hurst's letter is a fair sample of the submer gence of human intelligence and ordinary common sense by a spirit of unreasonable fanaticism. He assumes that "the War Department and the liquor power are sending out lying reports to all the papers that will publish them" to discredit the anti-canteen law, and then adds that "this must be known to The Call." It is not known to The Call, nor to Mr. Hurst, nor to anybody else, for it is not true; and his cool assumupticn that we arc taking War Department and liquor league reports and imposing them upon our readers as Associated Press news, or news gathered by our special correspondents, is an impudent, unwar ranted and bald falsehood. The Fort Sheridan riots were reported by the Asso ciated Press and were the subject of comment and news treatment by all the papers in Chicago. They held the whole district in terror for more than a day, and were almost beyond the power of the civil author ities.. Their existence, their prolongation, their cause and their effect are as well established as the existence of Mount Shasta. Army surgeons and chaplains, offi cers and enlisted men know of those riots, and so do hundreds of civilians and civil officers, by a sore ex perience. And yet we have Mr. Hurst declaring that "it is incredible that The Call management does not know those assertions (of the riots) to be false." A man who appeals so readily to the name of his Creator <:o clinch his statements should be careful that they are true. The Call has published the news and the opinions of interested people as tc the canteen. We believe the preponderance of testimony is in favor of its substitu tion for the outside rumhole. We know that it is preferable to give soldiers a chance to indulge reason ably in light beer and wine, rathef'than in poison whisky. We know that it is better that such indul gence should be inside the army post, and under disci pline, instead of beyond discipline and in contact with the other vices which are the physical and moral ruin of men. Looking at the average soldier as an aver age man, and he is, he is bound to have the average appetites and follies of men, and it is better for him that their satisfaction shall be made as little harmful as possible. So far no system has been devised that seems to be superior to the canteen. Prohibition is as impossible in the army as it is in civil life. Therefore there seems to be no choice between the canteen and the deadfall. We prefer the less harmful. Mr. Hurst and Rev. Mr. Ferguson prefer the more harmful and are fighting for bad whisky, for the low vices, for the tainted blood and rotten bones that are strung on the deadfall! The style of their frantic fanaticism dis credits them as guides of any public policy. Their class have pursued the President with every fanatical He that can be coined. One reverend gentleman, in tfie course of an anti-canteen argument, represented the President as a debauchee, and said that he was drinking iiquor in the President's room at the Capitol, where he and his Cabinet waited to consider belated bills on the last night of a session of Congress. Means were taken to. compel this fellow to openly confess himself a liar. Others are sticking unmanfully to state ments that they either know are false or do not know to be true, and at the same time are lecturing the wicked newspapers for publishing known facts, that are disputed only by fools or fanatics.
