; the Question of appointing a temporary

isuccessor pending the action of Congress

|on Secretary Meyer's plan to shorten the

:term of the commandant. Mr. Meyer, ItIs1 said, will ask Congresa to make the terra

four years, instead of until retirement or\u25a0 death, as at present. General Elliott re-tires on account of the statutory ag*> limit.

Colonel William P. Biddle, until recently

in command of the marine parades in NewYork City, but now attached to head-quarters in Washington, is th© ranking

officer of the eisrht colonels of the corps.

It could not b". learned at the department

whether or not he will succeed GeneralEllott. General Elliott has served in themarinA corps more than forty years. Born

in Alabama, but appointed from N«rw York.he entered the s??rvic<s on October 12, MH» has yen fourteen years' sea serviceand became commandant on October 3,

RECALLED FROM GUAM.—As the re-sult of a letter to tbe Navy Department

which is regarded by otH^iala as insarbor-dinate in tone, Major H. C. Davis, com-mandant of the marine cuard at Guam, jhas been ordered home. He will be asked

for an explanation of the letter. Major

Davis will sail on the cruiser Buffalo.

MAT BUT FROM TRUSTS.— Secretary

Dickinson has found that the law willnot {permit him to refuse to buy government ,supplies from so-called trust?, where they

happen to be tho lowest bidders. About ayear ago the. Secretary issued an order pro- ihibiting' purchases from the Standard Oil;Company and the Vacuum Oil Company, onthe Itrand that they had been declared by

the United States Circuit Court for the,

Eastern District of Missouri to be parties

to an unlawful trust and monopoly. From

this order th*» Vaccura Oil Company ap- jpealed, and this appeal was referred to thaDepartment of Justice, which held that the ;law required the acceptance of the lowest jbid from any responsible concern. Seer - 'ary Dickinson, therefore, has rescinded ;

h!s order of prohibition.

the Dea iloiae*. from Lisbon- for Cadiz; the

Special interest is imparted to this inci-dent on account of the gossip it is likely to

excite at the Capitol, where the friends ofthe chief constructor may construe theorder as a desire on the part of the NavyDepartment to send Mr. Capps as far awayfrom Washington aa possible at the coming

session of Congress, in order that he willnot bo so accessible to those who desireammunition with which to oppose theMeyer plan of navy yard control and de-partment reorganization. The naval au-thorities insist that there Is no such pur-

pose in this assignment to duty, and pointout that the information he win gather willbe of great value, and that Air. Capps isthe best officer in the service, for this im-portant task. IIIs understood that SenatorHale, who was a strong champion of Mr.Capps in the difficulties of the last session,was fully advised by Secretary Meyer be-fore the orders were Issued. Of course. Ifthe chief constructor hi desired by theifouae or Senate naval committee jis awitness, there willbe no difficulty In bring-ing him back to the United States.

ELLIOTT RETIRES NOVEMBER 80.—Major General George Frank Elliott, com-mandant of the marine corps will be re-tired on November 30, by orders issued to-

day. The Navy Department is considering

Capps to Make Inspection TripAround World.

[From T!i«» Trfbune Bur»ati.]"U'ashin^ton, Novem^r 15.

CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR'S MISSION.—The detachment of Chief Constructor W. I>.Capps from his present station in Philadel-phia and his assignment to duty which willcarry him around the world on an inspec-tion tour, which -was ordered by the Secre-tary of the Navy to-day, la certain to

arouse livelycomment In the service. Ithino secret that the naval authorities hadexpected the chief constructor to ask forretirement when he resigned, on th© re-

jquest of Secretary Meyer, as chief of the

IBureau of Construction and Repair, fol-| lowing th* controversy over naval adminis-

\u25a0 tration which involved the head of the!Nary Department, the chief constructor

and Paymaster General Rogers. Mr.Rogerspromptly eppiietl for retirement, but Mr.Cappa asked to be assigned to duty, muchto the surprise of the departmental officials.He has lately be<*n on duty in Philadelphiaas senior member of th'; board on ehanjres;in hulls of ships building on th% Atlanticj Coast. It was expected that he would beretained for ecmo time on this duty.

His inspection trip will include a raj)E;o;of observation which has rarely beenequalled by any assignment to such duty

junder the Navy Department. He -will leave j

IPhiladelphia on November 23 for the Pa- ;cific Coast and take tha first steamer for!the Asiatic station. He has been Instructed i10 investigate the conditions prevailing at ;the naval stations at Cavite and Olongapo,to ascertain the facilities for naval repair :work on the Asiatic station, to reportwhether there Is need of further expendi- .ture of public funds, to examine the ships ,of the Pacific. fleet and sea how much work!

jmust be done to keep them up to date, andthen return to the United States by way ofthe Su«v. Canal, visiting the navy yards anddock stations of forcien governments and

'

foreign ships wherever possible, making:notes of new features of repair station.--.etc. Incidentally, he is to investigate theuse of the aeroplane in connection with Iwarships abroad. When this duty is com-

'pleted Mr. Cappa will return to "Washing-ton and report to th» Secretary of the 1

Navy.

The Macmillan Company brings out anew and completely revised edition ofBryce's "American Commonwealth,"that book which for more than twentyyears has held leading rank in the vastliterature dealing with this country.The author revised it to a considerableextent in 1883. but in this latest editionhe has even more thoroughly rehandledhis work, Including: the latest statistics

—even the 1910 census figures were ob-tainable

—and adding several new chap-

ters as well as many notes. Amongthese additions are discussions of recentlegislation regarding primaries, recenttendencies of state politics, a detailedconsideration of the latest phase ofimmigration, a chapter on the negro

problem and recent movements towarddisenfranchising the negro in the South-ern States, another on the new trans-

marine dominions, and one on the linesof development inour universities. More-over, there are minor alterations and ad-ditions on almost every page. The•'American Commonwealth" stands,

therefore, as practically a new work,

and attention is drawn to this fact withspecial urgency in view of the existenceof certain pirated and garbled editionsof the book.

The new book of Anatule France, inwhich the fall of the angels is the theme,

may be expected some time this winter.

He has also been writing a study of

Pierre Paul Prud'hon, that painter,

chosen by Napoleon to give lessons toMarie Louise, whose art is a curious jblend of classical and romantic feeling ,and whose career was marked by more

than one poignant passage. This work,

we suppose, will be illustrated. !

Apropos of current French literature, It1may be recorded that Pierre Loti was !raised the other day to the grade ofCommander of the Legion of Honor. ;

The collar which is the badge of thecommandership was conferred upon him

on board the cruiser Patrie by Vice-Ad- jmiral de Jonquieres, who. after the cere-monies, offered the health of his friend

and prefaced his remarks by an invoca-

tion in the language of Tahiti. In hlareply Captain Viaud expressed his re-

gret that, having retired from the navy,

he would in all likelihood never again

The first volume of a work nf practical

interest to the clergymen, but not with-!out its appeal for the general reader, will

| soon appear from the pr*»ss of CharlesiEcribtif 1 Sons. This work, on "TheGreat Texts of the Bible,' has been pre-

pared by Dr. James Hastings, whosej"Dictionary of the Bible" well •\u25a0stab-

\u25a0 lished his editorial authority. In the.;forthcoming exhaustive study the texts

taken from Scripture are supplied withbrief introductions and expository note.*-,

and this machinery, while increasing thepreacher's store of material, is framedin such tee as not to Induce a lazy

adoptiori of rradymade arpum^nts. but,

on the contrary, to stimulate originality|of thought and treatment. The opening ;

volume will be given to Isaiah and the j

second to St. Mark. There will be in all jabout twenty volumes of from four hun-dred to five hundred pages each.

Among tho numerous British authorswho of late years have won popularity in \France Sir Arthur Conan Do:

the dedication is "in the name of r-uv

common friend. Watson." Only in this

case Watson turns out to be the crim-

inal.

We are to have presently another study |

The animal world, that powerful stimu- ,Ilus to the imagination of the race in Its ;

!earliest stajres, continues to claim Its jannual tribute. Here, too. the old, old 1

stories prove of vice over and overiagain, the whole body of them from •

.Ssop to Uncle Remus. The modern j:nature study writers are not represented j

in the group of books here under dis- jcussion, though, of course, their influence \u25a0\u25a0

is traceable here and there. As in the jfairy world, so in this one the new in- ;

ventions as% not equal to the old. InMary Joss Jones's "Hump Tree Stories"(San Francisco: Paul Elder & Co.) onefinds an elusive quality that promises 1

well for their popularity with children. !In fact, the author warns her little read-era that grown-ups have no business in

her pages. She plays a little with the ;

simplest facts of natural history, but

feels no responsibility beyond that of iamuaing. Only the fate of "high-hopper igrasshopper," who was so vain of hisjumping powers that he jumped straight

into a bird's beak, can be said to have a jlesson attached to it. This is one of jthose attractively made books that thePacific Coast occasionally sends us. with jcapital drawings in black and green by |

R. L. Hudson. "Old Mother West Wind" :

turtle and the hare. Mr. Albert Bigelow

Paine has written a continuation of hishollow tree and deep woods people sto-

ries and called it "The Hollow TreeSnowed-in Book" (Harper & Bros.) Its jinventions are decidedly prosaic; Mr. J.

M. Conde's drawings remind one ofFrost's. Mr. B. H.Harrier's "The Forest

is educated, r.ot by the wolf pack, but :

by the squirrel, the owl and the fox. Helearns much from them and about them,protects them against their enemies,
