What Uncle Sam Needs For an Emergency. A Modicum of Healthy Advice on the Subject. Either a Navy or No Foreign Policy For Us. A ROTTEN NAVY, THE COMMISSIONERS' VIEW OF IT, WasniNaron,. December 30.—The re- port of the commission on navy yards calls attention to the depreciation in the military marine of tho country as a con- sequence of the decadence in the mer- chant marine, and says: In 1860 the tonnage of the United States engaged in foreign trade amounted to 2,546,237 tons, placing us second in the list of maritime countries, and our fighting ships com- manded universal aamiration. In the twenty years just passed, while the tun- nage of our great commercial rival has in- creased 50 per cent, our tonnage has dropped to 1,352,810, placing us third on the list of maritime countries. Our carrying trade has been wrested from us, and we have not a singlo fighting ship te bear our flag upon the sea. The United States would, in anticipation of war, re- quire five naval rendevouz, viz., one at Narragansott at Key West, San Francisco and on the lakes. With respect to the Mare Island navy yard the commissioners say of its advan- tages: Its approaches may be success- fully defended against the attacks of a powerful enemy, and dry-docks on its basins may be constructed ata reasona- ble cost. Speaking of the disadvantages o7 this yard the commissioners say, ‘‘a fleet at Golden Giate could blockade it. The immediate approaches to the yard are without defense.” The commissioners conclude by recommending the retention o thisyard as it is the only one on the Pacific coast and fulfills most of the re- quirements of a perfect site. The commissioners urge the import- ance of preparation in time of peace for war. War, they say, is the heritage of man, and for the people of the United States history will have been written in vain should they delude themselves with the hope of porpetual peace, and when war does come, in these modern days, it wil be swift and terrible. Exposed and unprepared as we are, dam- age could be inflicted on us, ere the warn- ing could well be sounded, beyond calcu- lation, but unmindiul of the great les- sons of the war wo wait for the emerg- ency of the hour to force us into meas- ures which should have been already matured. Of all methods this has been found the mest wasteful. The panic caused by the Virginius af- fair cost the country $5,000,000 without adequate return. It is the popular belief that our traditional policy of peace will be_essily EiA o by reason of our isolation and freedsm from entangle- ments which so frequently disturb the relations of European powers, but this is a delusion. We have in common with all maratine countries’ interests which we are in duty bound to support. The present disturbed condition of atfairs on the Asiatic station, the construction of the Pana ma canal, the interpolation of the Monroe doctrine into our political creed, our growing commerce on the Pacific, and the naval strength developed by rising powers of South America, are ch and every one subjects prolific in Juestions of serious import to the people pf the Unitel states. The govern- ment may at any day be falled upon to take its stand Ind carry into practical effect the broad nd enligitened principles which have aracterized its foreign policy. To do is, and exercise the moral influence hich belongs to us of right, as one of e wealthiest and most liberal members the great family of nations, a cerlain erve force is absolutely essential. t the number, but more particularly condition of our navy yards may be prded as a part of that reserve and tho oxponent of our naval power. logical deduction, therefore, is that power must be developed or our for- policy be abandoned if we would d national humiliation, he commissioners conclude their re- as follows: “‘It only remains toan- that portion of the act which calls report on any other facts deemed il or advisable in regard to this ques- The most prominent facts which to the notice of your commission- connection with the subject are ant of proper organization of the ing forces of the navy yards; fitiplicity of ships of the same class; gion of work over an unnecessarily ded area, want of uniformity in the tion of business and objectionable ds of keeping accounts.

The capital stock is $1560,000. Material for the work has already been bought and they will be pushed to completion the coming season A DURLINGTON FIRE Buruinetox, Ia., December 30.—C. B, Quick's large furniture manufactory on West hill was completely destroyed by fire last evening. Loss on building, merchandise and stock, $16,000; insur- ance, £3,600. The fire is supposed to have or‘ginated in the boiler room. o — Butler's Lapse of Memory. Borron, December 30.—The week be- fore Christmas the friends of Hathaway, the embezzler, who has about a year yet to serve in the penitentiary, petitioned Governor Butler to pardon Hathaway on Christmas (ay, setting forth his good be- havior, poor health and family considera- tions. The governor took the petition under advisement, and on Tuesday last sent the state counsel his reasons for re- fusing to pardon Hathaway. In his mes- sage the governor took occasion to review the varioys cases of embezzlement and forgery committed in Massachusetts the pnat fow years. In this connection the governor mentioned the name of Stick- ney (another famous embezzler) in place of Pond, whose case he was in fact re- viewing. The governor’s attention being called to the error, he said in an inter- view that the reason the mistake did not strike his attention was because he never considered Stickney was pardoned at all. He remitted to him thirty days only, which he thought he had earned by good conduct. The governor added: “Iadmit that I made a mistake, It was a lapse of mem- ory. 1 have only one palliation to offer for it. There have been so many repub- lican citizens, who were treasurers of mills, and otherwise prominent, who are| convicts in state prison, or who would have been there 1f caught, that I get them a little mixed sometimes when I think about them. I cannot always dis- tinguish special incidents of the crime of Winslow, The Herald’s friend, and con- trolling proprietor of The Post, from that of Pond, the friend of the Worcester Spy, or Stickney, who was convicted from the treasurer who ran away to Canada and who was not convicted, nor does it aid me any when I attempt to distinguish one as a Sabbath scheol teacher, from the other as a preacher, as I do not always know which was which, but I know one was one and the other was the other. If you will inform the public of the diffi- culties under which I labor when I am dealing with conviots of this high grade, for whom pardons are very much sought for by very respectable men, you will, at least, give them an opportunity to sym- pathize with me.” ————— Work and Wages. STUBENVILLE, O., December 30.—The Jefferson Iron works and Stubenville and Spalding Iron works, nail manufac- turers, will not shut down as ordered by the western association, The Jefferson works belong to the association, and its action is the first rebellion in the history of the associatiop. Pirrssurc, December 30.—The em- ployes of the table ware glass houses, were notified last night of a reduction of 12} per cent to take effect January 1. In Pittsburg there are twelve factories, which employ fifteen hundred girls and as many more in the west. Tho manu- facturers give as a reason for the reduc- tion the dullness of trade. WiLKESBARRE, Pa., December 30.— All collerieres of ‘the Reading Co., Le- high and Susquehanna division, resume work to-morrow, full time. Heretofore they have been working three days per week and the system of company stores is finally abandoned. Slugger Sullivan’s Sprec, Dexver, Col,, December 30.—Sulli- van, now in Leadville, speaking of Paddy Ryan’s withdrawal, said to au inter- viewer: ‘‘Poor Paddy’s withdraival does not surprise me. He never meant to stand before me, because he knew I could do him up in two minutes. He has proven himself a cur and the people will see it. I shall go to 'Frisco all the same and possibly arrange a match with Miller, the Australian champion. I will offer him §1,000 if he will stand before me four rounds.” Sullivan 1s drinking heavily and yes- terdsy after the performance at the Zoo theater, he engaged in an altercation with Pete McCoy, who smashed a chair over his head. Sullivan seized a lighted kerosene lamp and hurled it at McCoy, who dodged, thus avoiding serious re- sults. The city marshal interfered, when Sullivan started to assault him, but in stantly took the marshal’s advice to stop, foreseeing the consequences. e — The Horrors Not Half Told. Ouray, December 30.—It is now found that the whole extent of the disas- ters and deaths by the recent snowslides 1n the mountains is not fully known. It is expected that when the snow melts and makes the trails passable to all mines, that it will be found that the list of fatalities has not yet been half told, There is no doubt that many miners’ cabins, not yet heard from, have been swept away with their occupants, Messrs, McBride & Slaughter, lessees of the bank of San Juan, are among the missing, and it is believed that they perished in a slide in Brooklyn gulch, — Reis Brothers & Co.'s Failure, CiNcisnari, December 30.—Before making an assignment;Reis Brothers & in various , in all ag- gregating §60,000; fn favor of over a dozen different firms and banks of this city.

New Yok, December 30.—The Bar- tholdi pedestal fund art loan exhibition at the Academy of Design was again opened to the public to-day. Two thou- sand visitors were present. No inter- ference was made by the Sunday closing league, although it was reported that an attempt would be made to close the ex- hibition. "POOLS AND POOLERS. The Wake Over the Iowa Corpse Still Kept Up. The Burlington Road Not Yet Ready to Tripartite, But to be Given a Good Chance to Come In, Fixing the Passenger Rates Not Entirely Smooth Work, RAILROAD MATTERS, THE BURLINGTON WAITS, Cnrcaco, December 30,—The general ‘managors of western roads who have boen in session at Omaha for the past three days completing the details of the new agreement on business betweon Chicago and Missouri river points, arrived hero to-day, and will take part in the Iowa pool meeting to-morrow. It is probable the new agreement which ends the life of the Towa pool will be laid before the meeting and an adjournment taken in order to give the Burlington, the only road in the old pool not com- prised in the new, time to decide whether it also will enter. The manager of that road says he has not yet scen the agreo- ment, but has no doubt its terms are such that the Burlington cannot accept them. Representatives of roads in the new pool say its terms are the same as those of the tripartite agreement already pub- lished, except that a clause has been addod admitting other roads. It is un- derstood that the managers of the Wabash and Milwaukee & St. Paul signed the agreement, subject to the ap- proval of their boards of directors, SENGER TICKET BROKERAGE, Aco, Decomber 30.—Tho passen- ger agents of western roads held another conference with Comnissioner Iierson yesterday, when he submitted a memor- andum of a compact with a view to abol- ishing the brokerage system on railway passenger tickets. The proposed compact provides that the territory east of Buffalo, Pittsburg and Wheeling, including the New Erg- land states. be known as the trunk line territory; that tho territory east of the Chicago and St. Louis division of the Chicago & Alton road, and lying north of the latitude of the Ohio river, includ- ing the trunk line territory, be known as the territory of the first executive com- mittee; and that the territory west of the Chicago & Alton road to the Missouri river be known as the territory of the Missonri river lines. The memorandum provides that all roads west of Chicago and St. Louis may arrange with eastern roads for an interchange of pas- senger business on the usual terms, pro- vided no unlimited through ticket is sold ai less than the total of local rates; that tickets and rates via routes where a divi- sion of tickets would afford a profit be sold only for continuous trivs; that all second class and emigrant.tickets only be honored in second class or . forward cars; that tourists’ tickets may be issued from points east of Chicago and St. Louis un- der such limitations as may be agreed up- on, but no special fare tickets are to be sold to be used in the territory of the joint executive committee without the consent of that committee, and no round trip tickets be issued without the consent of the joint executive committee; thatthe roads agree that they will pay no com- missions to any person not em- ployed by a railroad company as its ~authorized ticket agent, nor pay it to any one who will use any portion of his commission for the purpose of cut- ting; that no company west of Chicago or St. Louis be_allowed to issue passage tickets beyond their eastern termini, or eastern roads beyond their western ter- mini; that if any road breaks the agree- ment the other roads may protect them- selves and each other by discontinuing business relations with it to such extent as may be necessary to effect the object of the compact; thatany company may withdraw on ninety days notice. Pending tho signing of the agreement the Missouri river lines agree to discon- tinue paying commission to brokers or other than authorized railway agents. All the western roads agreed to sign the compact with the uxception of the Rock Island and Chicago & Alton, and they asked to be given until next Wed- nesday to announce their decision, when another conference will be held. The policy of the Chicago & Alton and Rock Island road as outlined after the conference, is that they will accept none of the terms outlined in the memor- andum. They state their williagness to agree with other western lines as to the maximum commission to be paid, but re- serving the right to pay it to whoever they elect, and they will enter into no compact with the eastern lines. If this policy is adhered to Mr. Pierson's mis- sion will be deemed a failure. —— A Steamer Wrecked. Evassviiig, Ind,, December 30.— Owensboro special: The steamer Car- i unk at tho head of Little Hur- ricane Island, throe miles below Owens- boro at 10 o'clock this morning.

At nine o'clock the watch- man made his rounds as usual, and shortly aftorwards the fire was discover- od under headway. It is believed by many that it was the work of an incen- diary. It is probable that the works will be rebuilt immediately as they were overstocked with orders. The nills and machinory cost $100,000, and the material on hand was valued at about $100,000. The total insurance on building and stock amounts to only $155,000, placed in sixty-four difforent compnnies throughout the country. The total loss figures up §225,000.

DESERTION IN THE ARMY. A Fow More Lettors I'eom High Pri. vates on the Subject. To tho Editor of Tho Boo Well, here T sm again. 1 see in yours of the 27th an article written by a pri- vate of the Fourth infantry, wherein he says that 70 per cont of the desertions are caused by intemperance, . He is mis- taken there. He also says that a greater part of the men of his acquaintance would rather have the system of payment that is practiced in tho navy. Botter go to the navy, my fine fellow. No one in the army but a masher would want such « systom—one who runs after the officers’ servant girls, and wishing to spend his money for cologne, &o. No, sir; the system of pay is very good. Now about intomporance, There is not so very much in the army among the enlisted men., The officers more often imbibe. Tho enlisted men, as a gencral thing, keep verysober. Take the same number of men at a post and take the same num- ber of citizens, you will find that there is more of the citizens get drunk than sol- diers. It may be different at Omaha, a town of churches. Again, the soldier can have more money to put in the pay- master’'s hands by the present system of payment, than the navy plan, 1t is true the interest is small, but it will count up at the end of five years. I believe under the present orders an enlisted man can put five dollars in with the paymaster and draw intorest at once. Now what is better than that?

Nevertheless there are always a few noble-minded spirits, who are al- ways ready and willing to die even an ignominious death that justice in its orig- inally purity may live, Excuse my digression, When I see a dog-robber, which the tone of his letter in your issuo of the 27th nst,, clearly shows him to be trying to hoodwink the public, thershy robbing the poor, thor- oughly abused private soldier of the mis. erable bit of sympathy he might possibly got. 1 say, when I see an oflicer’s tool who knows too well that he is telling barefaced lies, why it make me feel bad, knowing the boys are powerless to help themselves. The true inwardness of the thing is simply this, I was hungry and they (the officers) did not give me enough to eat, onthe contrary they robbed me of my government rations, $200 being taken from company funds to cover the expenses of a debauch. I have not got time to explain how, after working in the garden all sum- mer, they euchred me out of the vegetables, Do you doubt me? If so, step into the *‘hungry buttery.” Mark how wistfully the poor fellows watch to see if there would not be a crust of bread or other slumgullion left by their sickly mate, If wo, watch the half-fed men plunge for it, and pity the victims of true tyranny.

WESTERN MAILS, A Groat Improvement in the Service Since Vandervoort's Bounce, 5. To the Editor of The Boe. 1t is somewhat amusing to us western people to see the fuss made over the re- moval of a bummer from the chiof clerk- ship of the mail service, with leadquar- torsat Omaha, Wo are located on the divide between three divisions of the railway mail service. West of us and extending to Montana on the morth and to southern Utah on the south, The service is under the superintendence of the Pacific divi- sion under Mr, McKusick at San Fran- cisco, Over these routes mails are well cared for and an oxcellent set of clerks are employed, J. M, Johnson, an old Union Pacific mail agent and former resident of Omaha, is located at Ogden to look after the system, and has author- ity to regulate on the lines belonging to his division, and he also looks after the transfer of mail at Ogden. The Denver & Rio Grade mail is under the management of the St. Louis division, The two systems named are conducted so well that people have little if any cause of complaint of irregularities. From Og- den eastward over the Union Pacific be- longs to the Chicago division, and under the immediate n ement of the chief clerk at Omaha, When Gen. McBeath, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army, of the Republic says that Vandervoort was unjustly removed, he does not know the feelings and sentiment of people along the line of road, and who receive their eastern mail over that route. The best evidence that the former chief clerk was incompetent, is shown in the fact that a very great improvement has been made in the service since his removal. Daily papers used to be oar- ried past their destination two or hree times per week, on an average, and there was a howl lli along the line about the bad postal ser- vice., Now it is very different, there being seldom any cause for complaint, A. |and the people of Utah and other west- thankful ern states and territories foel Charles Galbraith s ad Delia Emerson.
