Secretary Seward.

There have been great many rumors
about Secretary Stewards recent excur-
sion to the tropics, but none of them
have hit at the real secret. One of the
main points of his mission was to secure
harbor among the West India Islands
for our vessels of war, in case of any
emergency, where our vessels could put
in, repair and rcft, whenever necessary.
II is pretty generally understood that
the present Congress will not make any
appropriation to be expended in repair

Otherwise, foreign powers would have

inestimable damage along the coast
Without this, foreign fleet could readi-
ly secure q footholdd on our shores, and
cause an immense outlay to remove them
One of the principle objects of this mis-
sion, therefore, was to secure station

pose. In this he has been. it is said.
successful, and has entered into nego-

50 much for the ChronieIe's claim Of an
increase upon its own business. Now for its
comparison with the business Of the Star. We
have shown above that the total number OF
new advertisements in the Daily Chronicle for
the six months ending March 81, was 4.SO7, or
an average of % per day. The number Of new
advertisements in the Star during that time
was s,Cs3, an average Of 5s1 per day. The
Chronicle, in its statement, mentions only the
daily papers Of the city, but even should II
design TO include the Sunday Chroniele-an en-
tirely distinct Issue, however. from its daily

new advertisements for that time, Sunday and
daily, was but S,55i, or an average Of 81, or

and within the reach Of ready verification BY

the available assets are less than S50G000. We

to every one in Washington that busi-

city's current lull in business activity That
the Chronicle, under the circumstances, and
with the contradiction in its own advertising
columns, should undertake to maintain that IL
has not only held its own, but that its business
has absolutely increased, is an astonishing Y dis.
play OF the ostrich tactics of concealing the
head and leaving the bulkier portion of the
body exposed. There is not q reader OF that
paper who has not noticed the great falling Off
in its advertising, and the substitution there
for Of ''dead- d-horse" "matter-Congressional di-

comes necessary to expose its stupid piece of

pains to carefully examine its advertising col
umns, day by day, for the last two quarters to
afford test Of comparison.
1t will be seen that during the quarter end
