f WASHINGTON , Nov. 26. ( Special Tele-
ratn.Republican ) members of congress
from < Nebraska have been In receipt of a
great many letters recently from republican
postmasters stating that the populists were
boycotting their olllcrs ami that Instead ot
depositing mall In the pototnco for cancella
tion they were dropping letters In the null
cars. Thin has led to a reduction In the
salaries of postmasters to such an extent
that thl-y are now protesting and the depart
ment has been called upon to tnlto action
In. the matter. Senator Thurston has taken
up the question with the fourth assistant
pcfltmattcr general with a vlow of correcting
what Is undonbUtlly a wrong Interpretation
of the postal laws. It will be Interesting
to fourth-class postmasters that general
rules for postmasters as promulgated during
the lost administration , providing that post
masters cannot claim credit for stamps can
celled unless such alamos are cancelled In
the poslomee , have been , by the order of
the postmaster general , changed to such an
extent that for the convenience of the public
the postmaster may rent a box at a railway
ntatlon for the reception of null matter and
cancel stamps on such matter at the station.
Thin lt > purport means that pnstmastcrs at
please where the boycott Is In progress may
go to the railway box , take out the mall ,
Mamp It with the oillcial stamp of his olilco ,
and , notwithstanding that such Is locked and
rnady for delivery to the railway clerk ,
may Insert the cancelled letters and they
will ho received by the railway clerk.
Should , however , discrimination become pro-
ncunced relief In inch cases Is to be had by
application to the general superintendent
of the railway mall service , who will order
the totter drop closed In the postal car at
the station whelu the alleged boycotting of
the postmaster Is being carried on.
It Is understood that the Itavenna postolllcc
will go Into the presidential class about the
Iht of January , the last four quarters showIng -
Ing that the postmaster has canceled up
wards of $250 worth of stamps per quarter.
Should It be made presidential the present
postmaster , Charles 'Miner ' , will secure the
Influence ! of Senator Thurston for reappolnt-
inent.
UNION PACIFIC CASK.
The case of the United States against the
Union Pacific 'Hallway ' company , coming up
from the Klqlith circuit , will bo argued In
the supiemo court next Jlonday or as soon
thereafter as the cases before It are reached

States Is ontltleil to recover from the Union
Pacific or Its receivers the whole or any

United States to the Delaware Indians pur
suant to an act of congress of July 13 , 1892 ,
for Improvements upon lands sold to the
Loavenworth , Pawnee & Western Rallrcud
company.
The second proposition upon which the
court below desires Information Is as to
whether the United States Is entitled to re
cover from the Union Pacific or Its receivers
the whole or any part of some $28,000 paid
the Do'awaro Indians , under the same act ,
for and on account of the right of way
through allotted lands belonging to members

once more certain portions of the document
} no of those portions was the very first chap-
er of the message treating of the foreign re-
atlons of our government. It Is the Inten-
lon of the president to devote much atten-
lon In his messigo to the subject of trade
relations and reciprocity , so that there was
some talk today respecting the positions as
sumed by the great European sugar producing
countries , that the hying of a countervailing
duty on sugar to offset the home-paid bounty
amounts to unjust discriminations. It Is cer-
aln that the arrangement of the reciprocal

WASHINGTON , Nov. 2C. Secretary of the
Nary Long has just mode public his annual
report to the president and congress. The
document begins with a statement of the
strength of the navy , and says the present
effective fighting force of the mvy consists
of four battleships of the flrst class , two
battleships of the second class , two armored
crutacrs , sixteen cruisers , fifteen gunboats ,
fix doublc-turrotcd monitors , ono ram , ono
dynamite gunboat , ono dispatch boat , one
transport steamer and five torpedo boats.
There are under construction five battleships
of the first class , sixteen torpedo boats and
ono submarine boat. There are sixty-tour
other naval vessels , Including tlicso used as
training , receiving and naval reserve ships ,
tugs , disused slnglc-turrcted monitors aud
some unscrvlceablo craft.
There is. further , the auxiliary fleet. This
consists , flrst , of moro than twenty sub
sidized steamers which comply with the re
quirements of the postal act of 'March ' 3 ,
1891 , with regard to their adaptability to
naval service , and to an armament of main
and secondary batteries ; second , of a very
much greater number of largo merchant
marine steamers , which can bo availed of at
any time of need.
The country Is to bo congratulated , the
secretary says , upon the results obtained In
the rebuilding of the navy. While Its ships
are not as many and It Is not necessary
they should be as these of some other great
powers , tlcy are , class for class , In power ,
speed , workmanship and offensive and de
fensive qualities , the equal of vessels built
anywhere else in the world.
VnSSEL/S / UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
The vessels under construction should bo
completed during the coming year , except
the five battleships , which will probably not
bo ready for service before the latter part
of 1839. Of the la.tter the Kearsarge and
Kentucky are nearly halt completed. About
three-quarters of their armor has been de
livered , a part of which has been secured In
place on the ships. The other three , the
Alabama , Illinois and WlscQiisIn , were be
gun subsequent to the InsUnnmml report.
In compliance with the direction of con
gress , that plans and estimates for the
establishment of an armor plant ho prepared ,
the report says the department appointed an
armor-factory 'board , composed of officers
selected with especial regard to their fitness
for this duty. They have made a careful In
vestigation of the problems presented , and
have visited some of the principal steel and
Iron manufacturing points In the country.
A synopsis of the report of this board was
published In The illco last week.
The North Atlantic squadron , under com
mand of Rear Admiral Dunce until May 1 ,
1897 , and since then under ReUr Admiral
Slcard , has had during the last year the
benefits which result from exercises In drill
and fleet maneuvers. This squadron Is com
posed of the INew York ( flrst rate flagship ) ,
Massachusetts ( first rate ) , Puritan ( flrst rate ) ,
Indiana ( first rate ) , Iowa ( flrst rate ) , Texas
( second rate ) , Malno ( flrst rate ) , Brooklyn
first rate ) , Terror ( second rate ) , Montgomery
( second rate ) , iMarblehead ( third rate ) , Wil
mington ( third rate ) , Detroit ( third rate ) ,
Annapolis ( third rate ) , Nashville ( third rate ) ,
Furn ( fourth rate ) , Vesuvius ( fourth rate ) .
Embracing three battleships of the first class ,
two of the second and some of our best
cruisers , It makes the most formidable fleet
assembled since the cl.il war.
PLOUGHING TUB PACIFIC.
The Pacific squadron , Rear Admiral MUler
commanding , consists of the Oregon ( first
rate ) , Philadelphia ( second rate , flagship ) ,
Monterey ( second rate ) , Monadnock ( second
rate ) , Hcmnlngton ( third rate ) , Wheeling
( third rate ) . Alert ( third rate ) , and Marietta
( third rate. ) '
The Asiatic squadron. Rear Admiral Mc-
Nalr commanding , consists of the Olympla
( first rate , flagship ) , Boston ( second rate ) ,
Yorktown ( third rate ) , Monocacy ( third rate ) ,
Machlas ( third rate ) , Petrel ( fourth rate ) .
The Concord ( third rate ) and the Helena
( third rate ) , have boon ordered to Jota It.
These vessels have been cruising on the
coast of Asia wherever It was deemed ad
visable to show our flag or look after Ameri
can Interests , and during the summer all
the ships , except the Monocacy , rendezvoused
at Chefoo.
The European squadron , Rear Admiral
Selfrldgo commanding , comprises the San
Francisco ( second rate , flagship ) , Raleigh
( second rate ) , and Bancroft ( fourth rate ) , and
during the greater pirt of the past year has
tocen engaged In protecting American Inter
ests In the eastern , part of the Mediterranean ,
where the unsettled condition of affairs ,
which finally resulted ta. the war between
Turkey and Greece , made the presence of
the fleet desirable.
The South Atlantic squadron , Captain
Cheater commanding , consists of the Cin
cinnati ( second rote ) , amd the Casttnc ( third
rate- ) .
In addition to the vessels In the squadrons
there are the following : Apprentice training
ships Essex ( third rate ) , Adamo ( third rate ) ,
Alliance ( third rate ) ; the gunnery school
fihlp Amphltrito ; the cadet practice ship
Standlah ; the first-class cruisers Columbia
and Minneapolis In reserve ; the Dolphin
( third rate ) , and Vlcksburg ( third rate ) , un-
asslgncd ; the Newport ( third rate ) , on special
duty , and torpedo boats Porter , Du Pctnt ,

What a difference there Is In the faces of
women , and for that matter of men also ,
and how strange the effect la , There are
faces that attract men and fascinate women ,
while thcro are others that scorn to repel
Just as strongly.
Did you over study faces ? Have you
over paid real close attention to the looks of
the men and women you meet In the course
of a day ? It Is a fascinating study. Many
of them are unattractive , but some of them
liavo power that Is most fascinating. Now
what Is the secret of this charm and beauty ?
There Is 'but ono answer , and wo will glvo
It.
It should bo preserved and handed down to
future generations. It Is therefore suggested
that a sufficient appropriation be made to
fit It for use as n training ship. This would
prevent It from passing off the list of the
navy and would keep allvo the patriotic
sentiment of which the old frigate has al
ways been an Inspiration.
The report gives statistics of the amount
of ship building being done by the different
nations , and It may surprise many to know
that In this work Japan leads Russia , Italy ,
Germany and Spain. There arc now under
construction in Europa and the United States
for the Japanese government thrco battle
ships of 14,800 tons displacement ; four first-
class armored cruisers of 9,600 tons displace
ment ; ono protected cruiser of 2800 tons and
ono of 1,800 tons ; nine torpedo-boat destroy
ers ; eight of about 300 tons displacement ,
ono somewhat smaller ; thirteen torpedo boats
of about eighty-flvo to ninety tons displace
ment.
There nro seven strategic divisions of our
coast : First , from the iDay of Fundy to
Capo Cod ; second , from Capo Cod to Sandy
Hook ; third , from Sandy Hook to Capo J
Henry ; fourth , from Cape Henry to Cape
Sable ; fifth , the coast line bordering on the
Gulf of Mexico ; sixth , the southern portion of
the Pacific coast , and seventh , the northern
portion.
REDUCING AGE LIMIT.
The superintendent of the Naval academy
recommends , and the Board of Visitors con
curs with him , that the ultimata ago of admission -
mission to the academy bo fixed at 18 years ,
Instead of 20 as at present. In order to In
sure a moro uniform ago. of officers entering
the service. Under the present system grad
uates are sometimes nearly 2G years of ago
at the tlmo of leaving the academy and are
frequently outranked , by tho&o who are
younger by four or flvo years. As a largo
percentage of these who fall at the academy
are over 18 when they enter it , this change
would tend to lessen the expense to which
the government Is put In maintaining and
educating them from one to six years , only
to find that they ultimately fall to pass the
required examinations.
While the increase of vessels haa been
constant provision has not been made for
securing a corresponding Increase of en
listed men. During the next two years
five battleships of the .first class and seven
teen torpedo boats ro to be placed In com
mission. Those novv"lri commission absorb
all the ofllcers and men .allowed . by law. As
vessels under construction are completed it
will bo necessary , " In order to place them In
commission , to take other vessels out and
place them In reserve. Those In reserve
can be made ready for service In a few
days ; but to make the reserve system of
value the secretary of the navy should bo
authorized to make additional enlistments ,
at least to the extent recommended by the
Bureau of Navigation , and , should an emer
gency arise necessitating the employment of
all the vessels on the navy list , to such an
extent as the emergency requires.
NO LIMIT ON APPRENTICES.
In order to secure ) tetter training on the
part of the enlisted men of the navy , and also
a reserve force , the department recommends
that there be no definite limit placed to the
number of apprentices , but that additional
training vessels be equipped from time to
tlmo and ovcry effort made to obtain ap
prentices from all par'8 ' of the country.
When these apprentices attain their major
ity , such of them as are needed and are
willing to re-enlist can bo used to fill the
vacancies In the enlisted force , and the re
mainder allowed to seek other employment ,
but still for a limited number * of years re
tained on the rolls , without pay , subject to
the call of the president. The training
given naval apprentices not only fits them
for performing the duties required of enlisted
and rated men , but also makes them valua
ble citizens , and oven should their servlco
never be required the country would not bs
the loser. The apprentice system'Is workIng -
Ing well , and contributes yearly to the naval
fcrvlce many very intelligent and deserving
American boys , who servo with credit , and
who uro a bright and ( promising feature on
shlpbcord.
In concluding Ms report the secretary , In
discussing un enlargement of the navy , says :
"Our remoteness from foreign powers , the

when she Is made constantly miserable by

things destroy the complexion , bring gloom

misery created , render the woman unayrac-

or do well who Is not feeling well. Imagine
any man or woman trying to ! be pleasant or

Whllo all Hits Is , therefore , an earnest of

WASHINGTON , Nov. 2G. No word of the
reported refusal by the Canadian government
of the proposition of the United States for a
modus vlvendl to stop the killing of seals
whllo a commission Is engaged in arranging
other Issues between the United States and
Canada has como to the State department or
to the British embassy here. There Is no
disposition In olllclal quarters to discredit the
statement coming from Ottawa to that effect
and It is expected that the end of the nego
tiations Is yet a long way removed. The
Canadian alternative ! proposition referred to
In tbo dispatches Is believed to be nothing
moro than a renewal of the original proposal
to appoint a Joint commission and allow the
question of total suspension to go be
fore It with other matters. This has proved
unacceptable to our government heretofore.

Henry T. Oxnard , representing the Oxnard
sugar Interests , passed through 'Omaha yes
terday from California , where ho has been
promoting the sugar Industry. Mr. Oxnard
Is enthusiastic over the prospects for boot
sugar.
"I think ( hat the outlook for the sugar
Industry Is hotter limn It over has been and
we hnvo Just had an excellent year In all
our factories. " said Mr. Oxnard. "As to
Nebraska , I may say that the results given
by our factories in thin state are equal In
ovcry respect to the best results obtained la
our California factory. This means that Ne
braska Is us good a sugar beet producing
state as any In the union. I have positive
Information that before the next season
opens cine new beet sugar factory will have
been creeled In Nebraska , and this la en
tirely outside of the plans of Mr. Her and
his a&sociates for a factory hero at Omaha ,
which , from what I know , I am confident
will be carried through to a KUcccssful con
clusion.
"I see quite a llttlo discussion has .been
oitisod by an aitlclo by Mr. Atlclns In a
lecent number of the Forum , In which ho
argues that the beet sugar Industry can
never amount to anything In this country.
Most of Mr. Atkins' statements have teen
disproved by actual experience. Hla
motive Is easily apparent , when It Is re
membered that ho says the American mar
ket Is the best nugar market In the world ,
and that Mr. Atklcis has plantations In Cuba
whose Income Is threatened toy the growth
of the beet sugar Industry in this country.
It will take time for the United States to
produce enough sugar to supply all the
home demand , but there Is no good reason
why the American farmer should not pro
duce end the American laborer work up
enough sugar to shut out practically all the
foreign product that now cornea here. " ,
