WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.— report
of Admiral Bradford, chief of the naval
bureau of equipment, records unprece
dentedly large expenditures by cruising
ships during the last fiscal year and the
aisbursment of large amounts for freight
Involved in the transportation of stores.
Admiral Brandford sets forth the de
sirability of a naval station at Guam,
emphasizing the importance of the is
land as a naval base. He counts rapid
improvement work at the Cavite naval
[■■"""; v station and the completion of a steel
■ " "*- cold storage house at Pago Pago, on the
island of Tutuila, Samoa. A new floating
dry dock for the naval station at Al
giers, La., is to be completed by May,
1901.
The amount of coal being consumed
by the navy is increasing year by year
and its cost last year averaged nearly
$2 a ton more than during the fiscal
year of 1898. Admiral Bradford agaia
renews his recommendation for new
naval coal depots.
The bureau recommends the installation
of the Marconi system of wireless tele
graphy on board of several ships of the
navy, providing it can be done at a reas
onable cost. Experiments in this system
of signalling have proven successful in
sj*i the main, in the trials made by ships
of the North Atlantic squadron, although
I" quite a serious defect has been dis
covered. In the event that two vessels
using the system should attempt to sig
nal a single port or vessel simultaneous
ly, the receiving station or ship is found
to be unable to distinguish between the
messages sent to it.

The report says that the survey by th«
United States ship Nero for a trans-Pa
cific submarine telegraph cable to Hon
olulu and the Philippine islands was
most successful, and that a satisfactory
route for an all-American cable to con
nect "the Pacific coast with the outlying
colonial possessions of the United States
in the Pacific and with China and Japan,
has been discovered, surveyed and
» mapped. The bureau is now ready to
lay the cable at any time. - /■/ ,
•.'The attention of the department is
to the necessity for a survey of
the western Pacific ocean. Many re
ported "danger spots" appear on the
chart", whoso absolute danger is doubt
ful, thus giving rise to a great deal of
uncalled for solicitude among navigators.
' , Two parties, were sent to the field by
the naval observatory to witness the to
tal eclipse of- the sun on May 28, i.OO
"She result says Admiral Bradford, was
- - as a whole, successful, their being, how
ever, some failures with minor instru
ments. Attention is called to the fact
that another total eclipse of the sun
will occur May 17, 1901 which will be re
markable on account of the long dura
tion of the totality and of the high atti
tude of the sun. An estimate to enable
the observatory to send an expedition
to witness this eclipse will be submitted.
UNCLE SAM'S MAILS.
* postmaster General Smith Favors
Rural Free Delivery.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Postmaster
General Emory Smith has framed his es
timates to be submitted to congress and
_will ask an aggregate of about $121,000,000
as the appropriation for the entire service
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902.
This includes an estimate of $3,500,000 for
the rural free delivery service. By the
close of this fiscal year 4.300 rural free
delivery routes throughout the United
States will have been established and the
general extension contemplated for next
year will involve about 4,500 additional
routes. The success of the service so
far instituted has resulted in plans for a
- very general extension next year. The
postmaster general together with other
* officials is investigating the feasibility cf
putting the serxiee in operation at every
point throughout the country not reached
by the regular free delivery sen-ices in
operation in the cities.
The postmaster general has designated
.' Postofflce Inspector John R. Harrison,
now postmaster of Havana, as the acting
director general of posts in Cuba, pending
the absence of Director General Fosnes,
who is convalescing in New York from
yellow fever and pneumonia. Mr. Hani

CENSUS OF ALASKA.
Native Population' Reporte- in-a Sad
Stole of Destitution.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.— census
bureau recently completed the 'enumera
tion of the district of Alaska.' The
schedules have been received at the office,
and are how in process of; tabulation.
The director of the census today gave
out the following statement with refer
ence to the work in the great territory:
"Mr. Samuel D. • Dunham, who . had
charge of the work in the northern dis
trict, returned to Washington a few
days ago and submitted his financial re
port. He left Washington on' this work
in May, 1899. -:. - ->-..,../ .-... 3* _„,„ ."--.''
'"The native and mixed population of
the northern district of Alaska- is 12,652.
The most populous district with respect
to the native population is the country
lying between the j month of the Yukon
and the Kuskoquin rivers, and extend
ing back from the coast 100 miles. ' Mr.
Maurice Johnson, the agent, for this dis
trict, traveled over 2,000 miles with dog
teams during the winter and enumerated
3,013 persons, all. of whom ,were Indians.
The Indians in this region axe probably
the most destitute people in the North
American, continent. Mr. Johnson reports
that from Dec. 1 to March 15 he visited
seventy-four interior villages, and during
the time saw but three fires burning in
the shacks of dugouts. The poor creat
ares huddle together in their miserable
dwellings during the-long-winter and,sub
sist on frozen fish and a little seal oil,
which they secure, on the coast during
the summer. The fur-bearing animals,
which formerly furnished them with nat
ural clothing, are nearly extinct, and
they have been forced to adopt the white
man's garb, and as theii poverty prevents
them fionr securing enough to cover their
nakedness there is great suffering from
the cold. The spiritual condition of these
neglected natives is no better than the
physical, as the missionaries devote their
attention to the more attractive fields in
the gold regions and along the river,
where their good work may be seen.
"The Nome district is the: most pop
ulous in Northern Alaska. The enumer
ation showed a "permanent . white ' popu
lation on June 1 of 2,704. During the sura
mer about 18,000 people landed at Nome,
about 2,500 of these coming from Dawson.
, About 12,000 have returned to their homes
in the States! leaving about 0,000 people
in the region contiguous" to Nome. ■' It is
probable that" the population of the town
of Nome during .the * winter 'will be be
tween .4,00 and 5,000."

BERLIN, Nov. 14.— relchstag re
. assembled today. The speech from the
throne dealt at considerable length on
the events in China, which have excited
such deep emotion among civilized people,:
/saying: -/ ;, -,- ,- .......■:•.,.:
* "Fanatical hate and dark superstition,
Incited by unscrupulous advisers of the
"court, have driven misguided Chinese to
acts of atrocity* against the outposts of
Western civilization and ' Christian wor
ship dwelling peacefully in their midst.
"My: minister died at the hand of an
assasln in a courageous attempt to over
come the rising peril. The foreigners
at the capital saw themselves threatened,
life and limb. These things of horror
united the civilized community, where
otherwise there was a divergence. ; All
nations against which the unparalleled
onslaught was directed drew " I closer.
Their sons fought with one mind, should
er to shoulder, even as yonder standards
float side by side. So the governments
show themselves In council, united with
the sole wish to restore an orderly state
of things, as speedily as possible, and
after the punishment of the chief cul
prits, avert a recurrence in the future
of such a disturbance of the peace of the
world.'.' " / /
In announcing that the relations of
Germany with all the powers are good,
the speech" recalls his majesty's so .row
at the assasination of . King Humbert of
Italy, saying he was "my ally and dear
friend, who fell a victim to a damnable
J outrage." ," "•"""' -•/.'.-. "•"
The speech then continues: "I would
sooner have consulted the reichstag on
the matter in .China, - but for the neces
sity for prompt action and the difficulty
of: . furnishing reliable /information.
Whenever the reichstag could /form a
decision or estimate the expenditure re
quired, the , government felt confident
that the representatives would not re
cuse their subsequent sanction to the
j necessary expenditure." T;/ •"
FOR A CUSTOMS TARIFF.
Turning to domestic matters, his majes
ty said that' in consequence of the natural
growth of the revenue and the increased
taxation voted last session, more abun
dant funds were available in almost
every branch of life in the empire, espe
cially for measures for the benefit,of
workers and for the defense of the coun
try. '"A customs tariff, he added, would
probably be laid before the bundesrath
uuring the present 7 session. The spec
concluded by announcing various "■ bills
which would be introduced.- ■
'me ceremony of opening the relchstag
occurred at.noon in the Knights hall of
the Schloss, in the presence of the em
peror. ■ / "; : ■'.
-->-t the conclusion of the speech from
the throne, Emperor .William was "warm
ly cheered ; and Count yon Buelow, the
imperial chancellor, formally, declared the
session opened. ... .._.."
Several of the evening papers announce
that the German financial bill, sub
mitted to the federal council, shows that
to .balance the sum of 2,240,947,301 .marks
will be required. The bill empowers the
'imperial chancellor to raise a loan of
97,286,384 ' marks and -to , issue treasury
bills to the amount of \ 175,000,000 \ marks
to strengthen. the ordinary working capi
. tal of the imperial treasury. .
A bill providing for a third supplemen
tary credit on account of the China ex
pedition will be submitted to the rMch
stag. '- • / -':---'■ .-
EXPLANATION AS TO CHINA.
A memorandum accompanies the bill
explaining that the uprising in China was
at first such that its suppression could
be left to the Chinese government, but
It assumed a form menacing to the whole
foreign community. Its object was then
clear, namely, the exclusion of the whole
foreign element by a reight of terror.
It is added that the Chinese government,
if not unwilling, was at least incapable
of controlling the movement, and the
powers had to protect their subjects, the
military forces of all the powers partici
pating to an equal degree in the restora
tion of order. To stop international
military action now would bring about a
fresh sacrifice of time. and . the lives of
peaceful inhabitants. Nevertheless, the
object of such action was solely the res
toration of . tranquility in China. ',:/ Its
task did not go beyond the suppression
of open hostilities and all attacks upon
the inner life of China, not essentially
necessary, were being avoided. -
The supplementary credit bill asks for
125,750,000 marks; it being . assumed that
China will eventually pay all the costs
Incurred by Germany. —
The Liberal papers express dissatisfac
tion with the reasons adduced in the
speech from the throne for the emperor
not obtaining the sanction of \ the reich
stag before sending the Chinese expedi
tion. The Kreuz Zeitung, the organ of
t.ie Prussian junker squirarchy," while
approving the speech asserts that the
right will not be able to support the gov- j
ernment on every kind of question during
the session.
The National Zeitung says: "Parlia
ment, of course, will grant the expendi-,
ture demanded, but it must clearly give
the government to understand that in the
future it expects different treatment."
This afternoon Emperor William went
to Silesia for a long trip.

SCHOOLS IN PORTO RICO
ACCOMMODATIONS NOW FOR TEN
PER CENT.OF THE CHILDREN.
WASHINGTON, \ Nov. 14.—M. G. Brum
baugh, ; commissioner of education / for
Porto Rico, says the school system now
in operation there includes 800 teachers
and 38,000 pupils. '; This is only a begin
ning, as there .are. 300,000 children of
school age " without school facilities,
most of whom would -enroll •if they
could. Commissioner-^ Brumbaugh says
the hope of the island is in the public
schools, and that r the'great illiteracy in
Porto Rico must be reduced. The schools
are not to be compared' with American
systems, but their transformation must
be gradual.. The report | says. that the
present .school law should be 3 wholly
abrogated at the coming session of the
insular . legislature, for. many reasons,
and a new law : passed." § A change in \ the
licensing of teachers -is needed to pro
tect good teachers '_ "from the " competi
tions .! and / machinations of worthless
teachers and frontthe i pernicious inter
ference of politicians:"; „^ .;4./-_
The report urges closer, supervision,
and qotes Dr. Groff, formerly acting
commissioner, as : saying that" the super
visors of the schools were -at first ex
soldiers, : teamsters, ex-packers and
other such men, arid they had to teach
English .in addition, but now ; they are
are men ,as qualified as the salary can
commend, arid I the work requires their
entire time. There are 7 over 500 Ameri
can teachers n engaged; in the schools,
and the demand is for/ more, provided
they know, enough Spanish to instruct
the children in theirv- native tongue.
Thousands of children in this island,
says the . report, are half-clothed, half
fed and half-housed. At least SO per
cent of all the people, are illiterate, and
the crying need is schools to reduce the
appalling illiteracy. , There are ho public
school buildings, and no public colleges

OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE.
The Mystic* Shrlners at Osman Temple
last night entertained as their special
guest, Samuel R. Van Sant, 'ho is him
self a member of the order. - ; .
Preliminary to the regular meeting of
the shrine in the evening, a brief informal
reception was tendered the distinguished
Winonan early in the evening. It had
been designed to extend this function into
a more elaborate affair, but the guest of
honor was a little late in reaching the
temple and the hospitalities were offered
without any pretenses of ceremony, which
did not, however, detract from the in
terest of the occasion..
.. Capt/ Van Sant remained during the
session of the shrine later, to witness sev
eral pilgrims make their initial venture
across the .desert..and receive .the port.
folio of the . order. There were several
prominent . membsrs.. of. the order down
from Duluth.
A very elaborate banquet followed the
secret session, all the Shriners partici
pating j heartily in this part of the pro
gramme. The new members were given
the opportunity of relating their expe
riences on the "desert,-'-and-some excel
lent toasts were delivered. ";

Episcopal church will have pronounced
Its anathema against divorce, and more
particularly against the remarrying of
divorced persons, while another party to
the divorce still is in life.
The subject of marriage and divorce
came in for a good deal of attention at
the hands of the general Episcopal con
ference of 1898. So much in fact that a
committee of twelve was appointed for
the purpose of taking the matter undo
consideration and make such recom- •
mendation to the next conference of that
body, as would pave the way for changes
in the present tenets of the church on
. these subjects.
This committee, after having met a
year ago, when/it failed to reach an
agreement looking toward reform, again
went into session today. At the close •
of this session it was announced that the
conference of the committee had been
adjourned sine die and that three canon*
dealing with the..subject, of the confer
ence had been drafted.
; % The first canon adopted -Is .titledi
: "Holy matrimony and impediments there,
to." The full text of this canon is as
follows :,/■■
MATRIMONY DEFINED.
• . Section .1—(A) Holy matrimony . is. an
; estate of life which for the -purposes of
; this canon is sufficiently defined in the
form appointed for the solemnization of
;matrimony in this church. (B) The sol
emnization of holy matrimony is a serv
ice where the mutual consent of the par
ties is given in the presence of a minis-
I ter, who then pronounces them in the
name of the Holy Trinity to be man and
wife. . ./--//•/'-.- -■--■■.

Sec.. 2—Every minister who shall . sol
emnize a marriage, shall'without delay

Sec.,. a—No minister " shall solemnize
marriage without the presence of ~ wit
nesses, nor without witnesses to whom
the parties are personally known, except
in a case in which it is impossible for such
j witnesses to be secured. No minister
shall solemnize the marriage of any per-'
son not identified to his satisfaction. i
Sec. 4—No • minister shall. solemnize
marriage between any. two persons un
less, nor until, by inquiry, he shall have
satisfied himself that neither party has
been or is theMisband or wife of- any
person living unless the former marriage
was annuled by decree of some court of
competent jurisdiction-" for cause exist
ing before such former marriage.
./ MAY NOT REMARRY.
The third canon goes one step further
and excludes from all: means of grace
/within the dispensation the church a> y
divorced .person who shall have remar
ried nd be - living with husband or wKe
as the case may be: while the other party
,to the.divorce still Is in life./. This canon
is subdivided into three sections, as: fol

es arising after marriage and marrying
again during the lifetime of the other
party to the divorce shall bo admitted
to baptism or confirmation or receive"

the subsequent marriage, or when peni

cient notice of such intended denial and
of the right of appeal therefrom as
here and after permitted.
Sec. 3. This section provides for appeal
