NAVY NEEDS MANY MORE MEN
Chief of Navigation Bureau Calls Attention

WANTS RETIRED OFFICERS EMPLOYED
A I mi triirn the Addition of Tvro
Tralnluu Mhlps at .Vtnport anil Ait-lm-n
Other CkMiiitm and Iiu
pravrmenl of linparlanec.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. The startling
statement Is made In tho report of Ad
miral Crownlnshleld, chief of the naviga
tion bureau, that tho present personnel of
tho navy would form barely one-fourth of
tho total estimate necessary to light a
first-class European power. It barely
HUfllced for the Spanish war and no longer
can be considered, the report says, as an
effective nucleus about which a larger es
timate could be formed In case of war.
Tho ndmlral regards this need of the
navy for officers and men as most urgent.
He says that tho bureau can point to many
cases where the service Is being harmed
by lack of ofllcers.
The naval academy Is suffering for want
of Instructors and the present high stan
dard of training cannot bo maintained.
Every bureau lu tho department Is short
of ouiccrs and the service, tho report pre
dicts, soon will fall behind In the struggle,
first, for leadership, and then for equality
with tho other services. Tho disability
of the seagoing corps of ofllcers hns greatly
Increased since tho Spanish war and many
of tho best ofllcers aru being lost as it re
sult of breaking down from overwork.
Tho ndmlral t severely criticizes the In
elfectlve effort of congress at tho last
session to meet Immedlutu needs for ofll
cers by authorizing tho employment of re
tired ofllcers und ho demands tho Iramo
dlate repeal of that net. Ho claims that
tho retired list, Intended au a reward tor
faithful service, otherwise becomes a hard
ship and a punishment. Tho personnel act
thus far has resulted In affording less ofll
cers than wero on tho active list before
Its passage, as, while authorizing an In
crease It failed to provide tho means there
for, so there aro now 131 vacancies In tho
list of naval officers, when vacancies can
bo least afforded.
Itrroiiiiiiriidfi a riv Synteni.
Therefore It is recommended for tho next
ten years that appointments to tho naval
academy be doubled, tho president aud
representatives In congress appointing two
instead of oue wherever authorized now
und lu addition senators being given thu
same privilege of appointment as repre
sentatives. Then, to meet future needs, It
1h recommended that whenever congress
authorizes an Increase of vessels to tht.
navy It also provide In the samo act fr.t
nn Increase of ofllcers and luuu to nun
the ships. The report says that Euglaud,
which this year lays down fifteen war ves
sels, voted an Increase of 4,240 ofllcers
and men to tho navy to man tho ships,
while (ienuany. which Intends doubling her
fleet In the next sixteen years, has pro
lded In the same program for Increasing
tho personnel by eighty-nine ofllcars and
1,087 men each year until tho total In
creuso reaches 3u,'C31.
It Is declared 'that it is now liupossrm;
to man tho vessels of our navy already
constructed with the preseut force, not to
mention thoso building or authorized. Con
gross Is urged to mnko uny Increase In
personnel Immediately available.
The tralnlug system as now practiced
in tho navy Is commended nnd It Is de
clared that by no other means could tho
navy secure tho bailors necessary to man
the fleet. Since the clone of tho Spanish
war the department has found that tho re
sources heretofore depended on to furnish
seamen for tho navy are no longer ade
quate. Only 237 seamen have enlisted for
the llrst enlistment In tho lust year, so
the department has been obliged to rely
upon and develop tho training squadron
for landsmen and now bus about 1,000
men under instructions, who on tho average
require about six months' tralnlug.
Iinporlnnrr of South Atlantic Million.
Admiral Crownlnshleld regards It as most
Important commercially that we keep al
ways a fair representation on tho South
Atlantic station, saying that lu no part
of tho world aru our vessels moro cordially
received, und nowhere can be traced lil
ted benefits to trade moro clearly than
ou this station. As to North Atlantic sta
tions, regret Is expressed that tho Impor
tant drills of the squadron are compelled
to bo often Interrupted by attendance of
the vessels at local celebrations, which
tend to demoralize the elllcluncy of the
personnel.
The chapter deals at somo length with
the history of the Asiatic station during
tho year and tho participation of tho navy
and marine corps in tho Chinese opera
tions aro set out in some detail. In con
nection with n reference to tho ground
ing of tho Oregon, Admiral Crownlnshleld
mentions tho courtesy shown by tho Japa
nese government In generously extending
Its resources for repairs to tho ship. Tho
report makes tho point that thu govern
ment should construct or acquire on the
Asiatic station a dock of its own.
OrnrrtlnilN and llnnlha.
There wero 2,452 desertions from the
navy and eighty-six deaths during the laf-t
fiscal year. Tho enlistments number 8,123
from a total number of applicants of 40,854.
Over tlS per cent of tho men In tho navy
are native born, 19 per cent are natural
ized and 9 per cent have declared Inten
tions. Ninety-two per cent of tho lands
men now under training are native born.
Admiral Crownlnshleld finds that tho
Chesapeake Is too small for tho midship
men, and asks that It bo transferred to
the training station at Newport and that
another vessel bo built for tho cadets, to
accommodate at least 30U besides Its crow.
Touching tho naval academy, It is urged
that no physical disqualifications of cadctH
shall bo wulved hereafter, as there has
been a niprkcd deterioration In tho last
ten years In tho physical condition of tho
graduating cadets, owing to their abandon
ment of vigorous "weeding out" process,
which has now fallen Into disuse. It Is
also strongly urged that the two years
supplemental course at sea shall be aban
doned. Finally, strong commendation If
given tn tho superintendent's recommenda
tion that age limit for cadets upon admis
sion shall bo between tho ages of 1fi and
IS, and that the course at tho acadeuv
thall bo four years.
Two additional training ships for ap
prentices at Newport aro said to bo ur
gently needed Tho report urges continued
training of tho men in marksmanship.
Wnnt (enmrn'ii llmirtrm at fw York
Tho admiral makes a strong point In his
report of the necessity of naval barracks, to
take tho place of tho present receiving
ships, whlrb he says aro nothing moro nor
less than poorly constructed, IU-vcntllatcd,
badly lighted, unsanitary floating houses,
and lu muny cases they often fall In being
afloat. Congress Is urged to authorize an
expenditure of 1600,000 for seamen's quar
ters at New York and at League Island,
J500.000 to bo made immediately available.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 11. The meeting
of the national cxccutlvo board of the
United Mlno Workers of Amcrlcn, which
Is to bo held hero tomorrow, is tho last to
bo held by the board before tho national
convention In January.
Matters of grave Importance will bo con
sidered and tho policy to bo adopted at
tho convention will bo outlined. Foremost
among these is tho condition In thu an
thracite field. While thu miners wero vic
torious in tho great strike which has Just
been settled, this was simply a prelim
inary skirmish and a great deal of work
remains to bo done, It is annouuecd. The
primary consideration Is to get the op
erators to meet tho representatives of tho
United Mine Workers In annual sculo con
feicncc. At each of theso conferences tho
price of mining, the powder qucinlon and
a number of other problems that have con
fronted tho organlrntlon for a number of
years will be fixed and an agreement for
a year onturcd Into.
The second question In Importance to
be taken up Is the admission of West Vir
ginia nnd Iowa to tho competitive Held.
Both states have been clamoring for ad
mittance for u year and somo frictlou wan
apparent nt the last convention because
Iowa was not admitted.
The members of tho executive council
will hear reports from the organizers In
the states named and It the conditions are
regarded as favorable It Is highly prohablo
that both will be taken Into tho fold. None
of tho ofllelals Is ptepared to say whether
or not an advance In wages "sill be asked.

that tho Indians are deprived of tlcsh for

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho report of the commissioner
of Indluu affairs, Just mado public, gives
considerable space to a comprehensive dis
cussion of Indian education In all Its phases.
According to the report thero are three ob
stacles to self-support among the Indians
tho ration system, ftunulty payments and
leasing of lands. Tho latter Is regarded as
most pernicious, and on this point tho re
port says: "To the thoughtful mlud it Is
apparent that the effect ot the general leas
ing ot allotments Is bad, tike tbo gratuitous
lssuo of rations and tho periodical distribu
tion of money. It fosters Indolence, with Its
train of attendant vices. Ily taking awny
tho Incentive to labor it defeats tho very ob
ject for which tho allotment system was de
vised, which was by giving the Indian some
thing tangible that he could call his own to
Incite him to personal effort lu his own bo
half." Patents have been Issued during the year
and delivered to Indians us follows: Omaha?,
In Nebraska, "; Santeo Sioux, In Nebraska,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. The total ex
penditure uy tho government ou account
of the Indian service from March 4, 1789,
up to and Including July 30, 1900, has been
$3CS,358,217, according to the annual report
ot Commissioner of Indian Affulrs William
T. Jones. The total expenditure for tho
fiscal year ended last July amounted to
110.175. 107. Of this amount nt least $3,330,
000 was devoted to tho cuuso of Indian edu
cation. Tho report revives the change In
the system of transporting supplies by
which supplies aro shipped lu open mar
ket by common carrier at tariff or better
rates and cstlmutes that this saves 20 per
cent in cost. Under thu head of obstacles
to self-support of tho Indians tho report
deprecates the ration system, annuity pay
ments and tho leasing of allotments. Tho
ration system, says tho report, Is the corol
lary of tho reservation system.
Indian I'opnlntlon In illlT.DOO.
Tli (i Indian population of the United
States is about 267,900, of which 43.270 re
ceive a dally ration. Tho ration Issued nnd
Its value va'y, according to the tribe.
NVarly two-lifths of tho number receiving
rations belong to the great Sioux nation.
Thu ration has been gradually reduced in
tho last few years, in accordance with tho
policy of tho Indian bureau. It tho In
dians' claim for full rations us a right Is
conceded the commissioner predicts' that
tho time when they will bo self-supporting
Ilea In tho very distant future, If It comes
at nil. A number ot tho Indians ulso aro
assisted by occasional issues and at sev
eral agencies the old and Indigent aro pro
vided for Theso aggregate about 12.570.
Altogether thero aro 57,570 Indluus receiv
ing subsistence In somo degree, oxcluslve
of Indian children In hoarding schools. Tho
commissioner urges that thn tndlscrltnlnato
lssuo of rations should stop at once. Tho
old nnd helpless, ho says, should bo pro
vided for, but rations should bo Issued
to tho nblo-bodlcd only for labor, whllo
thoBa who have been educated In Indian
schools should depeud entirely on their
own resources.
Annuities distributed last year aggre
gated $1,507,543, the per capita, ranging
from $256 down to 00 cents. Tho report
says that largo money payments to tho
Indians "are demoralizing In the extreme.
They degrade tho Indiana and corrupt tho
whites, they Induce pauperism nnd scandal
and crime, they nullify all the good effecta
of years of labor. Unscrupulous peoplo
Induce tho Indian to gu Into debt und then,
when the debt has accumulated and tho
Indian's credit Is gono, pressure is brought
to bear by tl u creditors upon thu govern
ment to pay thu Indian uo that ho can pay
his honest (?) dohts. Tho stato of affairs
growing nut of thin around somo of the
agencies Is a scandal und a disgrace.
"Thero Is now In the treasury to tho
credit of Indian tribes $33,315, 933. 09 draw
ing Interest at the rato of 4 and .1 per
cent, tho unnual interest amounting to
$l.C56,4S3.3i. Itesldes this several of the
tribes havo largo Incomes from leasing and
other sources. It Is a safe prediction that
so long as these funds exist they will be
the prey of designing people
"Tho ultimate disposition of the Indian
ttust funds Is u subject for tho most se
rious consideration. In somo cases they
are small and In others cry large. With
respect to the former they can, as a rulo.
bo paid out to tho Indians with little. If
any, evil consequences. It Is admitted that
great wealth Is a source of weakness to
uny Indian tribe and productive of much
evil."

Two remedies havu been suggested.
First, the gradual extinction of these funds,
