In other words, they are the military po lice of the State, designed for domestic service and duty primarily. As a regi ment, the Governor had no power, appar ently, to order them Into the service of tho general government, or to "loan them' for the purposes of the present war. When they went, they went Individually and freely, not In obedience to orders, but to their own patriotic Impulses. Whether they could carry with them, under the cir cumstances, or retain their organization as a State regiment, under the State mill tia law, Is another question. It Is not a question peculiar to the Fifth Maryland.

It has arisen In New Tork, where Its de cision involves title to the use, if not the ownership, of valuable property and funds. It Illustrates most forcibly the need of a clear, uniform, Intelligible na tional militia law, such as Congress is con stitutionally authorized to enact, and the danger of crude opinions, hasty counsels and slip-shod measures In matters of so much Importance.

The same rule should govern In placing the situs of the post-graduate course in the naval construction. Thre men, generally those who graduate high est, are selected from each graduating class to study naval construction. The course Is three years, at the end of which time the graduates In the course receire commissions as assistant naral constructors and are assigned to duty either in the shipyards, where war vessels are building. In the department at Washington or aboard ship, as the case may be. At the outbreak of the Spanish war many naral constructors, as well as the cadets pursuing the course, were ordered to the ships and took an active and In some cases a conspicuous part In the service.

Assistant Naral Constructor Hobson was one of these and his student, Cadet Powell, has, along with Mr. Hobson, been promoted as a reward for service In the war. Until 1S07 the cadets selected for this course were sent abroad to study in the leading schools of naval architecture of Europe, namely at Greenwich, Glasgow or Edinburgh and Paris. In these schools the Annapolis graduates almost Invariably distinguished themselves and carried off the first honors. A few years ago the British government intimated that it was no longer desirable to receive these students and although the French school and the private schools were still open the Navy Department decided to discontinue the practice of sending the young men abroad.

Last year the post-graduate course was established at Annapolis with the three cadets selected from the class of 1.897 as the pupils, and Assistant Naval Constructor, now Naval Constructor Hobson, In charge as instructor. Last April the Instructor and cadets were ordered off to the war. On September 10 the post graduate cadets, augmented by three selected from the class of 1S0S, returned to Annapolis, but their Instructor was still in Cuba and has not yet reached Annapo lis. In the meantime the six post-gradu ate cadets without any Instructor were or dered off to make a three-months tour of the navy yards to obtain unassisted what Information about practical work they could. They are now at Newport News.

From there, according to present orders, they will go to New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Bath, returning to Annapolis about the middle of December. Recently the Secretary of the Navy has been looking around for a better equipped school of naval construction and seems to have settled upon the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology at Boston. This is one of the foremost scientific schools of the world and has long had a complete school of naval architecture. The news of this decision appears to have brought forth protests from friends of the academy and various influences have been brought to bear upon the Navy Department to abandon the Idea, with what success re mains to be seen. NAMING THE SHIPS.

The law requires that the United States battle ships be named after the several States. The cruisers are named after cities. One exception was made in the naming of a battle ship. One of those now building was named the Kearsarge in the act of Congress which provided for Its construction. The selection of the States to be honored by having battle ships bear their names has not given satisfac tion.

Why should Iowa have been selected, for instance, and Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania left out? The men who have made the navy of the United States famous In three or more foreign wars, both officers, bluejackets and gunners, cam chiefly from the thirteen original States. A battle ship should be named after each of these States before any other names are selected. At the present time only one of the parent States has a namesake In the navy, and that is -Massachusetts. New York, perhaps, would have to be omitted, as there is a cruiser named after the city of New York, and it would be confusing to have a battle ship and a cruiser of the same name. Ships should be named after the other eleven States as fast as they are built.

After these names are used up, if other ships are built, they should be named after the States in the order of their admission to the Union. So far Texas, Ala bama, Kentucky and Missouri are the Southern States honored with namesakes, and Maine, Massachusetts, Illinois, Indi ana, Iowa, Oregon and Ohio are the others. Maryland has not been altogether for gotten. A cruiser has been named the Bal timore, a gunboat the Annapolis, the cadets practice ship the Chesapeake, and another ship the Monocacy. HE DOESN'T READ THE PAPERS.

It now appears that the deaths in camp and hospital which have brought sorrow to so many homes In this broad land are entirely due to the fact that the Secre tory of War does not read the newspapers. In his speech the other day at Chicka- mauga General Alger declared specifically that he had not heard about the impending trouble. "The Spanish war came upon us." be said, "almost like a bolt from a clear sky." Everybody else In the land knew It was coming. The President knew it, and if he had supposed that the Secretary of War had not heard the news he would, doubtless, have told him. The Secretary of the Navy has his office In the same building.

He knew what was coming, for he was busy for months en larging the navy and getting ships in commission. It seems almost Incredible that he 6hould not have heard mentioned the fact that something was going on. It must hare been difficult for Secretary Long to aroid mentioning In general con versation with Mr. Alger the fact that the Maine had been blown up and trouble was likely to result. But Mr.

Alger says he never saw the war cloud nor had any Intimation that the United States and Spain were not walking together In the house of the Lord as friends. Even If the Secretary had read the reports of Con gress he might have gotten an Intimation that something had happened. But, no; It took him by surprise and he was not ready.

The canges In ward and precinct lines by the Legislature last winter have made considerable con fusion and many voters did not know last week where to apply for registration.

To avoid this trouble the supervisors of election publish in The Sun today not only the places of registration but the boundary lines of each precinct. This will enable all citizens to properly locate themselves. Registration is of the utmost importance to city and State, and voters should risk no delay Jn qualifying for the fall and spring elections. Today Is the best time. Have your names registered today and so make sure.

THE PANAMA CANAL. The thick-and-thin advocates of the Nicaragua Canal speak of It as if it were the only trans-Isthmian route to be considered and the only one feasible or likely to be developed. The Panama canal, which is over a shorter route and better provided with harbors at either end, Is ignored. Yet the Panama canal is actually under construction, and two-fifths of it are completed. Fully 6,000 men are now at work upon it.

For three years past from 3,000 to 4,000 men have been at work, and have removed 3,000,000 metres of material. This work has been largely for the purpose of testing the strata underlying the line of the famous Culabra cut. The sides of the cut there have caved iu, and it was desirable to ascertain whether the whole "divide" was of like instable character. It Is found that the worst part of the route has already been traversed and that the remainder of the divide consists In the main of hard material, so that no fear Is entertained of further difficulty. So far, according to the eminent engineers engaged to advise the new Panama Company, $125,000,000 have been usefully spent, with the result, already stated, that two-fifths of the canal are completed.

It has been determined to do the rest. The Colombian government has extended the concession for eight years, in which time the work will be completed. The new company has no relations with the old. The old company was sold out, and its successor Is not embarrassed by Its errors. There are now in hand over $13,000,000 for purposes of construction, and plenty of capital will be forthcoming, It is stated, when needed.

M. Bannardel, the president of the company, and the directors are men of eminence In the commercial and financial circles of France. The company is believed to be specially strong in the competency of the engineers, upon whose advice It is proceeding. The directors have been cautious and have refrained from exploiting their enterprise before the public until convinced of its soundness, but they now feel so well fortified by the reports of their engineers that they will probably soon challenge attention to their scheme. The new company has no relations with the French govern ment.

The Panama canal, according to the present plan, is to have six locks on each side of the summit level. The Chagres river is to be dealt with by means of a great artificial lake, which will control the floods of the rainy season. This lake is to cover 5,500 acres and have a capacity of 150,000,000 cubic metres. The water power developed by the lake will be used to work the locks and provide electric light. Negroes from the British West Indies are found to stand well the Panama climate, and by the use of American methods of excavation it is expected that the canal will be ready In much less than eight years.

The Panama Company Institutes comparisons between its route and the Nicaragua route, to the disadvantage of the latter. It Is pointed out that the Panama canal has good ports, easy of ac cess at both ends, while the Nicaragua canal is to have artificial ports, now closed by drifting sands. The one is but forty-six miles long, the other one hundred and seventy-six miles long. The time of transit on the Panama route would be fourteen hours; on the Nicaragua route, forty-four hours. The curvatures of the shorter line are less than on the longer.

Much is made of the fact that the Panama canal, Jn large part, Is done, while work Is yet to begin on the Nicaragua canal. Why, it is asked, should Congress waste $140,000,000 on a rival canal when a route ample for all business likely to be offered will al ready be open? LIEUTENANT FORD'S BOOK. Now that we have an Eastern question of our own, the recent traveler in the Orient is sure of an audience. Lieut. John D.

Ford, formerly In charge of the Baltimore Manual Training School, sub sequently fleet engineer of the Pacific sta tion, United States Navy, and chief engineer on the cruiser Baltimore in the battle of Manila bay, appears opportunely on the scene just now with a most inter esting work entitled "An American Cruiser in the Far East," In whicn he presents in detail the observations made while cruis ing on the United States steamer Alert. Starting from San Francisco Lieutenant Ford visited the Aleutian-Islands, Ber ing's sea. Eastern Siberia, Japan, Korea, His studies in China, Japan and the Philippine Islands, and he gives his readers Instructive matter regarding all of them. His studies in China, Japan and the Ph'i-ippines are especially timely and interest ing. The book is profusely Illustrated.

THE VOLUNTEERS AND THE NATIONAL GUARD. Some Interesting questions hare been raised and are being discussed In the newspapers as to the status of the regiments which are being mustered out of the federal serTice, and which, prior to their entry Into that service, were State militia regiments or part of the National Guard. The hole subject of the reorganization of the militia Is attracting attention, and Governor Bloxham, of Florida, ias Invited the appointment of delegates by the executives of the several States, to meet In convention at Tampa on the Sth of February next, to consider and discuss plans for such reorganization. Meanwhile it may be worth considering whose province it really is to provide for the organization of the militia, and what the militia really Is. In this country, in Its unorganized state, the militia consists of the whole body of capable arms-bearing citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, with certain exemptions which are specifically defined by law, such as judicial and certain other necessary civil officers, ministers of religion, The constitution of the United States clearly places the organization, arming and disciplining of this vast force under the control of Congress.

That Instrument not only confers upon Congress the express power "to raise and support armies; to provide and maintain a navy; to make rules for the gorernment and regulation of the land and naval forces." It further declares that Congress shall hare power "to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions, and also, specifically, "to provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed In the service of the United States, reserving to the States, respectively, the appointment of the "officers and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress." Not only is the Ecope of the federal power apparently sufficiently defined In these clauses of the constitution, but the limitations upon the power of the States also. Governor Bloxham's convention may discuss and may recommend plans. The power "to provide for organizing the militia" resides in Congress. Militia laws were passed by Congress very early in the history of the country, but practically every State has come to have Its own militia law. Since the war of 1S12 little dependence has been placed upon the State militia in time of war.

When our small regular army has needed reinforcement the call has been for volunteers, who have been organized, under federal authority, for temporary service, but who are otherwise subject to all the rules and regulations applicable to the regular army. Such was the case In the Mexican war. such was the case during the civil war and such has been the case during the war with Spain. While recruited from the ranks of the militia, and to a considerable from the organized and uniformed militia, the United States volunteers are In no sense militiamen. This Is as true of the Maryland quota In the volunteer army as of that of any other State.

Maryland has her own militia law, which subjects to the call of the Governor, as commander-in-chief, "In case of war, rebellion. Insurrection or threatened invasion of this or any neighboring State." all the white male citizens of the State of military age who are not exempt by some law of the United States or of the State of Maryland. The Governor may "order out for actual service, (in the contingencies mentioned.) either by calling for volunteers, by draft or otherwise, as many of the militia as the exigency may. In his Judgment, require." In the case of the present war the Governor was not called upon to exercise his judgment, either as to the number of troops required or the mode of raising them. The President's call was for a specified number of volunteers, and Maryland's quota was an easily ascertainable quantity.

The Governor met the President's de-; niand for troops by ordering into the State service and into camps the First, Fourth and Fifth Regiments of the Maryland National Guard. Whether the Governor had any such power was a question which nobody at the time, and least of all the gallant fellows who were immediately affected by the Governor's order, tad any disposition to raise. It Is liable to be raised now. A sub-title of the article In the Maryland Code, title "Militia," provides for the organization and equipment of a tody of "active militia," to contain not more than a certain number of enlisted men. aud who are designated as the "Maryland National Guard." The statute provides for the geographical distribution and location of this force and for the enlistment of the men composing it for a period of three years.

This force, the law says, is to be considered "In tLe actual military service of the State and liable to be called Into active service at any time for the repression of disorder and for the protection of property in aid of the civil authorities nnd the police-of the State." It is the members of this National Guard who responded by companies and regl-ments to the Governor's call to go Into camp, and who, subsequently, as volunteered and enlisted In the eerv Ice of the United States In the war against Spain. It Is not surprising that their from service in the volunteer army cf the United States should give rise to borne perplexing questions as to their stetus both as individuals and as an organized command in the aetive and uniformed "militia" of the State, known as the "National Guard." As members of the Fifth Regiment of Infantry, Maryland National Guard, they were members of the Maryland State militia its active and uniformed militia, but still its militia. Was the President's call upon the militia as such or was it a call for "volunteers?" As United States volunteers they were Individ aaliy enlisted and mustered into the service as members of the Fifth Maryland Regiment, U. 8- V. Apparently, the Governor had.
