Resolution Adopted at the Convention IRAN SHORT OF COAL Engines Rendered Useless Thereby During Late London Fire. BRIGADE EFFICIENCY QUESTIONED Head of the Department Insists It Leads the World. AROUSED PUBLIC’ IS LONDON, -November 24.—The inhabitants of this metropolis, as a result of the cutcry which followed the great fire of Friday last, are much agitated in regard to the efficiency or inefficiency of the fire brigade, and the newspapers are filled with letters comparing London’s system unfavorably with those in use in America and other countries. At a meeting of the London county coun- cil yesterday evening the chairman of the fire brigade committee defended the or- ganization of the London fire department, claiming that it is ahead of that of New York, Montreal and other cities, adding that every appliance used by the New York tire department is employed by the Lon- don fire brigade. Continuing, the chairman of the fire brigade committee said his com- mittee believed the London fire brigade had better engines and other appliances than were in use elsewhere. One member of the committee here in- terrupted with the remark, “and better men than in any other town.” This state- ment was received with cheers. Other Side of the Argument. Ia spite of this rosy view of the situa- tion most damaging testimony has been furnished by a member of the firm of Herring & Co., who has written a letter to the Times saying that the engines employ- ed in extinguishing the flames at the great conflagration of Friday last were short of coal and water. The writer, continuing, explains that he inquired at different engines on thif sub- ject, as his firm had several tons of coal an its cellars, and all the attendants of the engines replied that they were short of coal, but had orders not to go anywhere for coal. But, the men added, that if coal were brought to them they would use it. Ac- cordingly, the employes of Herring & C carried coal to the fire engines until 8:30 p-m., enabling one engine to resume pump- ing and making it possible for another to keep up steam. Two of the crews of the fire engines refused the proffers of coal, saying it was useless, as they were short of water. Other Evidence of Inefficiency. The member of the firm of Herring & Co. furnishes still further evidence of the in- efficiency of the London fire brigade in a statement during which he points out that when one of the engines arrived opposite the Herring & Co.'s warehouse an em- ploye of the firm showed the firemen a hy- drant; but they would not try it, saying it was one of the electric company’s bores. After a fruitless search along the street, however, the firemen returned to the place cpposite Herring & Co.'s warehouse and found that the alleged electric company’s bore was really a hydrant. In spite of this testimony Sir Eyre Mas- sey Shaw, K. C. B., who was chief of the metropolitan fire brigade, London, from 1861 to 1891, is quoted in an interview as saying that he has studied the fire depart- ments of New York, Chicago, Vienna, Ber- lin and Paris, and he adds: “London is ahead of them all.” ——.__ MISS STANSFIELD SENTENCED. Convicted of Levying Blackmail on Earl Carrington. LONDON, November 24.—At the central criminal court today Florence Stansfield, court on November 12 with attempting to blackmail Earl Carrington, the joint heredi- tary lord great chamberlain, was sentenced to eighteen months’ penal servitude. The court proceedings developed the fact that Florence Stansfield, who is described as a fine looking woman, of distinguished manners, had sent letters to Earl Carring- ton demanding money. Her counsel ex- plained that his client had written the let- ters under a mistake as to the identity of Earl Carrington, adding that she had known a man for many years who went under the name of Lloyd, but whom she had all along believed was Earl Carrington. in St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, November 24.—The Missouri good roads convention at its session in this city adopted resolutions asking that the ninety counties in the state authorized to levy a tax of 60 cents for-county purposes be asked to set aside one-third for road improvements, requesting the governor to call an extra session of the legislature to consider the question of good roads, asking the submission of a constitutional amend- vent permitting county courts to increase the tax levy for road purposes and recom- mending that the next general assembly appoint a state road commission. —_<+— *FRISCO'S BIG FOOT BALL EVENT.

ENGLAND'S The System at Sandhurst Compared With West Point, ; ‘The Course Lasis but a Year and Fits Only for Cavalry and Infantry— Training at the Staff College. Poultney Bigelow in the New York World. We are so accustomed to West Point as @ national institution that we are apt to regard it as quite natural to us. But this is by no means the case. It was the re- markable foresight of George Washington that gave us this institution, and it ts due to a most fortunate combination of cir- cumstances following upon its foundation that we lave today a training school for officers free from politicai influence, and producing better results over a given pe- riod of time than any military school in the world, not even excepting the schools of Germany. This train of thought was brought home to me while conversing with an emiment war official of the English government who knew America well and was deeply inter- ested in military education. From him 1 learned that a special commission had been sent over to us for the purpose of making a study of West Point, with a view to the reorganization of the English military col- lege at Sandhurst. This college was found- ed in 1799, and must not be confounded with the so-called Staff College, where post-graduate instruction is given. Sandkurst ts like West Point in the beauty of its immediate surroundings, al- beit West Point is amid rocky hills, where- as the English school is in a rolling coun- try, excellently adapted to cavalry and ar- tillery operations. It is close to Aldershot, where large masses of troops are con- stantly kept for purposes of drill, and thus an English cadet has the opportunity of seemg sometimes 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers of all arms in the field where a West Pointer sees only a battalion or so. The radical difference between West Point and Sandhurst lies in the fact that we pay our cadets from the start, and sub- ject them to the discipline of non-commis- sioned officers. We claim their whole time for the four years of their course, only al- jowing a short holiday of barely two months during the whole of that time. The Erglishman pays for his education, and would regard himself as most hardly treated if he were not allowed to go home once a week, to say nothing of having a much easier time of it in other respects. Sandhurst fits only for cavalry and in- fantry, and the course is only for one year. The cadets are admitted between the ages of seventeen and twenty. West Point catches her cadets younger and keeps them longer. This is one secret of her success. The Sandhurst candidate comes to that institution with his habits already formed, and these habits are apt to be bad from a military point of view. He has not, as a rule, been under the discipline of a military school, but has usually gone through the average public schools of England, which are inferior for purposes of mental train- ing to such institutions as the New Haven Grammar School, the Norwich Academy, Andover or Easthampton. At these schools he is taught a feeble smattering of Latin and not much of anything else. Ater leaving school the candidates have to spend a year or more under a professional fitter, ‘alled a coach or “crammer,” whose busi- ness it is to stuff the would-be officer with the answers to such questions as will pre- sumably be put to him. The entrance examination at Sandhurst is difficult, but not so good a test of a boy’s capacity as the first six months at West Point. Our military authorities do not ask a cadet, “What do you know?” Their question is, “What are*you capable of learning?” England proposes to improve Sandhurst, and pays us the delicate compliment of modeling upon our designs. It is not likely that she will wholly succeed, because young Englishmen of today are too accus- tomed to luxury and would as soon go into a monastery as submit to the hard work and confinement of the United States Mili- tary Academy. The only practical means I can see for England in this matter is that she should send annually, by special arrangement with our Secretary of War, half a dozen young men to West Point, who four years thereafter should go to Sandhurst as mili- tary instructors. They would then have learned to appreciate all that is good in the West Point tem, and their knowl- edge of England would enable them to modify it in a manner suitable to the needs of their countrymen. In return for this international courtesy the United States might request that six graduates of West Point annually be al- lowed to attend the so-called “Staff Col- lege," corresponding to the German War College (Kriegsakademie), where officers of special merit are sent to perfect themselves in the higher branches of their calling, particularly in military history and staff duties. This would be particularly valu- able training for such of our officers as contemplate becoming attached to embas- sies in a military capacity. They would here see great armies handled as though in actual warfare, and in case of necessity would be fitted to command large bodies of troops. A young American officer at the English Staff College, for instance, would be taken each year a round of bat- tlefields, such as Waterloo or Metz, and would have the situation explained to him on the spot in a manner to make a lasting impression. +e+ = THE UNITED STATES.” “MADE The Mark That is Now Seen on Our Goods in Europe. From the Chicago Times-Herald. It appears that Germany is not the only bete noir of industrial Great Britain,though it is doubtless the chief. The “made in Germany” cry is now supplemented by an- other—‘‘made in the United States.” In other words, American manufacturers are invading English home and colonial mark- ets. The first discovery of American su- premacy was in connection with American iron and steel. But little inquiry was need- ed to convince the English technical or- gans that America can manufacture steel and iron at the lowest cost, and that com- petition with her is a matter of extreme difficulty. But now it is seen that England is at a considerable disadvantage in other fields of production as well. Thus in a recent blue book on the condi- tion of colonial trade it is shown that United States goods have displaced those of English manufacture in the West Indies. The causes of this displacement are frank- ly stated to be the following: More atten- tion to local requirements; superior finish; lower price; more careful packing and the cmission to make special charges therefor; cheaper freight; and, finally, more rapid ecmmunication. Not all these factors, it is obvious, enter into an explanation of American conquest of other markets, but enough of them do so enter to render it easy te answer the much-debated question of England's gradual loss of customers and markets. It is, however, absurd to say, as dees the St. James’ Gazette, that Amer- ean workmen are not so exacting as the English and work longer hours. There is, apparently, less interference with the man. agement of business affairs.on the part of American trade unions, but in the matter of hours and wages the American work- man, more through natural conditions than through organization, are decidedly in ad- vance of the English. If the American manufacturer comes, sees and conquers the markets of the world it ts mot because of his “exploitations” of labor, but because of the efficiency of his labor, the larger use of improved machinery and the business- like methods everywhere employed. Meanwhile the English statesmen are casting about for a remedy, for a check upon the progress of their industrial rivals. A pariiamentary committee appointed to inquire into the operaticn of the merchan- cise marks act has recommended that the uame of the country of origin be omitted hereafter in the required specifications of foreign goods, and that commodities of ped. |." The object of this little trick is quite evident, though various soph- istical reasons are given by the committee to conceal the real purpose. “‘Made abroad” is rather vague, but it is this very vague- ness that the anxious statesmen depend on for safety and security. It is curious to re- flect that originally the law which com- pelled specification of the name of the coun- try of origin was designed to t Brit- ish menufacturers against by the sale of foreign merchandise as English! 80 ferity. that they ‘denies : thelr foreign suode “aiade in'Germeag ey WAR SCHOOL| have? right that y are so BAS Solid Oak Dining and cooking—all prices.

Now that these marks have become badges of merit they want to protect the home manufacturers against legitimate competi- tion by preventing buyers from knowing where goods superior to thelr own can be had. Yet the English Insist that they are un- terrified free traders! Can there be a more illogical and unfair law than one prohibit-~ ing people from indicating the origin of the goods they sell? Are not the people entitled to patronize foreign manufacturers if they find foreign goods better and cheaper? Let England have the courage to adopt a fair protective system in the interest of home manufacturers or else face all the conse- quences of the freest competition. Shifts are humiliating and ineffectual. Se es Purge the Pension Rolls. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The primary and only purpose of all the pension legislation so far enacted has been to stand between the soldier and thcse dependent upon him and the want resultirg from disability to earn a lving in consequence of wounds received or disease contracted in the country’s serv- ice. It was never intended that where there was no real disability—where the soldier remained just as able to earn a living as before, and where his circum- stances placed him beyond the need of a pension—ke should be degraded by being made a recipient of the nation’s bounty. Of the cases of “constructive disability,” that of ex-Pension Commissioner Black, who was net above claiming and receiving a large pension for constructive disabili- ties which made him a “total wreck,” is a familiar one. But all over the land are to be found similar cases. The papers have been printing during the past few days the case of one real sufferer, the only man in Kansas who receives a pen- sien of $100 a month. This poor fellow hed both his arms shot off and is, of course. utterly helpless, requiring tke constant services of. an attepdant. What American {s not glad that he is thus pro- vided for? Who would not, if need be, vote him an increase? But right by the side of his name may be found not only the name of Gen. Black, but the names of scores of men in active business and who now are, and always have been, able to care for themselves and to earn large incomes, who draw from the government a pension matching that of the Kansas cripple. We can point to one man actively superinténding the operations of one of the largest nail mills in the United States, who draws such a pension, and who, under the “arrears of persions” act drew a bonus of over $4,000 from the government. An- other went from the army to the head of a great insurance business, and yet thinks it a fine thing to add $100 a month from the gcvernment to His income of some $6,000 a year from his business. Meanwhile, as.,such; payments go on. thousands of the men who did the noblest work of the war/who'fought in scores of battles, headed manyia forlorn hope, won the plaudits of am admiring country—are growing old in poyerty unpensioned. They didn’t happen to be disabled by a rebel bullet, and by correct’ living they preserv- ed their health-through the war. They have been aboveoputting in any claim for pensions on “constructive” grounds, hence We they have been aoe apt in the cold.” put it to all the fedders of the Pioneer Press whether sttth 2’tevision of the pen- sion lists and -pensiot%iaws should not be made as shall leave oi all those well-to-do mendicants and sbaJl trausfer the needless bounty they are, receiving to now needy but _pensioniess | ides? The present condition of thit 13a travesty on jua- tice. To a further in of our pension appropriations, without a reform, the na- tion will not submit. The party which at- tefnpts such an increase imperils its con- trol of affairs. Let the lists be purged! Then there will be a sufficiency forall de- serving cases without increasing the na- tion’s burden. z —— ee ‘Whatever It is They Want It. From the Chicago Tritane. Mad.

As Lee's army marched through the town of Chambersburg a patriotic young north- ern girl was seen waving a federal flag from a window overlooking the narrow highway along which the columns passed. The men of the south were taking this demonstration much amiss, calling ‘Take in the gridiron!” when General Lee rode up. Comprehending the situation at a glance, he smiled, and raising his hat sa- luted the stars and stripes, under which ke had served for;thirty-two years. “All honor to the old flag!” he exclaimed. There was a moment's pause, and some one told the young lady who had addressed her. Her arm fell motionless, and the flag lay limp across the window sill. Again Gen- eral Lee spoke reassuringly, saying, “Let it wave, daughter, wave it on! No one shall disturb you.” But the demonstration was not recommenced; heart and will had been conquered by the native nobleness that war could not change nor the authority of command render rude. ———_+o+____ Baits His Bees. From the Chicago Times-Herald. Sam Knight has robbed more than a thousand bee trees. In his county wild flowers grow. The honeysuckle bloom; till frost. The jasmine gives fragrance almost the year round. Sweet are the pea and potato buds entil far into the fall, Wild bees swarm about in droves. There are no apiaries in Washington county. When hon- ey is harvested by the busy little bees they go to a tree to deposit their sugar. Sam Knight watches them during the summer while they are at work. He baits them just as the turkey trapper baits his game. He selects a stump and on top of it places a drop or so of molasses. Then he takes a chew of home twist and waits. When a bee comes along and lights on the stump he stays there until he has loaded deep enough to require a deposit. Then he lifts his wings and makes a line for his home that is as straight as an arrow. Sam Knight takes up the trail. He follows until the tree has been found. He makes a mark of some sort on the bark, blazes the way back to the stump, and then goes to another part of the forest, where the same thing is done over again. In the course of a couple of months’ work Knight locates a hundred or more trees. ———+re+______ Newspapers in Public Schools, From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
