Vallejo, Cal., Dec 29. The moving
of the old Independence from the
spot where it had been anchored for
the last 20 years marks the last cruise
that this grand old warrior will ever
make. Having been lying too close to
the entrance to the new dry dock
that Is Hearing completion, the war
vessel was moved In order that it
should not interfere with ships that
will be docked In the near future.
The Independence Is the oldest
American war vessel preserving Its
original timbers and the last of the
battle ships of the line that sailed
the seas almost a century ago. The
name Independence was first borne by
r sloop belonging to the colonial
navy. This vessel was destroyed In
th-. Delaware In 1777 to prevent Its

The present Independence was the

Or. Stiles on the Hookworm Interest
ing Topics Considered by
High Scientists.
Boston, Dec. 29 Dr. Charles W.
Stiles of the United States public
health and marine hospital service
last night addressed the American
Society for the Advancement of
Science.
Dr. fitlles spoke on the hookworm
disease of which he has made some
extensive study. He declared that In
the United States a law or nature was
being volated when an effort was had
to lodge different races of man side
by side In the same area. Dr. Stiles
said in part:
An I'nnatural Condition.
"It is an unnatural biological con
dition to have two closely allied
species of animals living side by side
In the same area. In this country
we have four race of animal, vli:
the white, the red. the yellow and
the black man breaking nature' law
by trying to live together. The com
petition of the Individual I Intensi
fied by being extended to a competi
tion between the race and we must.
In the end, submit to the workings
of the law of the survival of the fit
test Different races may have dif
ferent disease and after long gener
ation of Infection a relative immuni
ty may be developed In a given race
through the survival of the fittest In
dividuals. This partial Immunity to
the serious effects of a disease does
not Imply Immunity front Infection.
On the contrary that very Immunity
may tend to make the partially Im
mune race a reservoir for Infection
nd that Infection when transmitted
to a more susceptible race will, upon
reaching such virgin soil, be very
fetal.
Swap Diseases.
'The whit race ha brought to the
south certain disease from . north
Europe. The have . spread with
deadly effect to the black. The ne
groes have brought to the south cer
tain tropical disease which have
epread to the white with serious re
sult. Thoee conditions are not In
any way blameeble to the south aa a
portion bt the country, but upon the
fact, that Jn the United State we are
violating a law of nature when we at
tempt to lodge different race of men
side by side In th same area, .'
"It 1 not an exaggeration to say
that th negro In the eouth lives un

dependence were sufficient contradlc
tlon.
War had been declared against Al
serla. and the Independence took
part with the other vessels of the
American navy in blockading the
ports of that power and bringing the
war to a successful close.
The only vessels left of this great
fleet are the Independence and Con
stellation, which Is being used as a
recruiting ship at Newport, R. L
Upon the return of the Independ
ence from foreign waters it acted as
guard ship to Boston harbor until
Ul. In 1839 it was reduced from
thre decks to two, carrying B4 guns,
alnd sailed for Europe as the flagship
of Commodore Nicholson, with George
Dallas, who was the minister to Rus
sia from the United States, on board.
On this trip all records for speed were
hruUen between New York and Cron
stadt. In 1846, with Commodore Shubrlck
In command, too Independence sailed
for the Pacific coast and after spend
ing three years in PncMe waters and
participating in the capture of Ouay
nins and Mazatlun, the warship re
turned to the Atlantic coast and later
sailed for the Mediterranean aa the
flagship of the United States squad
ron. In 1854 the Independence was re
fitted In the New York navy yard and
ni;ln sent to the Pacific const for
the last time, and was made guard
ship to Ran Francisco bay, lying off
Third street. In 1858 the Independ
ence was converted Into a receiving
ship for the United States navy at
Mare island.
Th present commander of this
re'le of what war sh!is were 100
years ago Is Captain John B. Milton,
who sailed the seas for 44 years and
bears the reputation of being the
most popular officer that has ever
been stationed on the old warrlcr. '
tical application and authority, can
overcome that handicap. Theory
demands that In rursl negro localities
with anything less than good sanita
tion we must find an extensive anemia
among the whites, and practical ex
perience bears out this theory among
the tenant whites of the south.
"It Is not only foolish but cowardly
to attempt to deny the existing con
ditions and pny for a false sense of
local pride at the price of the lives of
women and children. Fortunately,
the better class of thought In -4he
south Is facing facts and organising
for an extensive campaign to Im
prove sanitary conditions. And when
the south shall win Its noble fight
against disease the victory will be
great and fully repay the efforts
spent upon It."
As to Child Labor in the Mill.
Dr. Stlks, speaking upon child la
bor in the south, took a position
which some of his hearers might
have judged radical. He said:
"I have never defended child la hor
aa an abstract proposition, but when
I compare child labor and child mis
ery upon the soil-polluted one-horse
farms with child labor under the
vastly improved sanitary conditions In
the southern cotton mills, I am forced
to the conclusion that the latter la
Infinitely better than the former, and
If It came to a choice between the two
for my young daughter now ten years
old, my duty would compel me to
choose for her a life In the spinning
room of the average cotton mill of
the eouth, which I have visited. In
preference to a life of toll and misery
on the average unsanitary tenant farm
I have studied.
. "I am unable to Join In the whole
sale condemnation of the south'a cot
ton mills for I recognise In them the
best friends the tenant white of the
south have."

OF GLADSTONE'S BIRTH
Countless Memorial Meetings
Throughout Britain Glad

Held
London, Dec. 29. All the newspa
pers of London today devoted leading
articles to the one hundredth anni
versary or the birth of William E.
Gladstone, and published retrospects
of his career and his policies, with
particular reference to the great la
sues now being fought out In the
British election campaign. The liber
al press bestowed unstinted praise
upon the statesman's memory, and
even those papers which were op
posed to him during his lifetime
printed eulogistic articles on "the
great commoner."

More than a decade has elapsed
since Mr. Gladstone wa removed
from the stage of life, and during
that time nothing has occurred to
change the universal opinion which
assigned him a place In the very front
rank of British stateemen, and whose
achievements will always form an In
separable part of the story of the
Victorian age.
The sen of a wealthy Scotch mer
chant, member of parliament and
baronet, Gladstone wa born In Liv
erpool on December SI, 1809. After
being educated at Eton and Oxford,
he enured parliament and between
188S and 1S4I became successively
first junior lord of the treasury, un
der secretary for the colonies, vice
president of the board of trade, mai
ler of th mint and president of the
board of trade with a seat in the

lor of the exchequer In several gov
ernments, and four time held the
office of prime minister.
His Political Career.
Beginning political life as a tory,
Gladstone finally joined the liberal
party and became almost a radical
In politics, As colonial secretary un
der Peel he gave aid In the measures
which led to the repeal of the corn
laws. As chancellor of the exchequer
he reformed the system of taxation.
In 11(7 he succeeded Lord Russell

up parllan: ntary-life, retired to his
estate at Ha warden, spoke for the
last time in public in 1896 and died
on May 19, 1898. at the age of 89.
Throughout his long career Glad
stone was a sturdy defender of the
rights of the English people. He
extended the suffrage, championed
equitable taxation, and was the friend
of popular education. Abroad he
denounced tyranny In the two Sicilies
and roused the world on the subject
Of Bulgarian atrocities and Armenian
massacres. ' ' '.. :.
In connection with the recent ap
pointment of Herbert Gladstone to be
the first governor general of the new
South African federation, it is not
without Interest to note that It was
William E. Gladstone, his father, who
in 1883, restored the Independence of
the Transvaal republic. Mr. Glad
stone, however, always made It clear
that when he restored the Independ
ence of the Transvaal he Intended
that the republic should remain sub
ject to British suzerainty, and above
all to English paramountcy.

on the Emery claim as a personal loan
out of his own funds, there having
been no money In the government
treasury at that time. This amount,
he said, had never been refunded to
him. He strongly denied that he had
wrongfully obtained any part of his
fortune through concessions of which
he had the disposal.
Asked about the conditions Imposed
by the British government In reply to
his request for asylum aboard the
British cruiser Shearwater, Zelaya ad
mitted he was told he could board
her only with the understanding that
he wa to agree to leave Nicaragua
forever. These conditions, he said, he
