THE NAVY.
The Forthcoming Report OF secre tary
RObesOn.

ikODeSOu.
The annual report OF the Secretary OF the Navy
is well advanced, the chiefs OF bureaus preparing
the matter pertaining to their several departments
for Mr.. Robson to digest and arrange upon his
return from his political tour. The report, which
VIII be in print within three weeks, will be full and
explicit and contain new and important sugges-
tons for the consideration OF the naval committees
OF Congress. The strength and condition OF
present navy. the composition, distribution and
service OF the various squ0drOns, the ship-cana
surveys and the Polar expedition, will be topics OF
the report, and will show little variation from the
report OF last year. The interest in the coming re-
port will turn upon the Sccretary's discussion OF
our future requirements. The last yearly estimates
submitted to Congress called for $20,O00,OOO
and those in preparation amount to about
$l,000,O00 more. No addition to the naval force
has been made during the year. nor will the forth
coming estimates attempt anything higher than
making good the wear and tear OF the hscal year,
to begin next July. The bill for constructing ten
steam sloops-ofwar Is before the House Naval Com.
mittee, and It's friends outside the Navy Depart
ment will press for immediate action. so that Con-
gress will have an early occasion assume the re-
sponsibility OF deciding whether or not the navy
shall further decline, and the Secretary will not
attempt to prejudge the matter by onering esti-
mates for construction OF new vessels. But the
necessity Of doing something will nevertheless be
urged in his report and he will endeavor to aid
Congress In forming Judgment by pointing out
what the needs OF the country are in respect TO its
navy, and how they can be best supplied. As we
are not to have any more ocean combats, with
hostile fleets arrayed in line OF battle, our future
necessities relate only to the protection and de-
velopmcnt OF our commercial interests abroad aud
the defence OF our ports at home. Being distant
from powerful nations, and therefore compare

dendowa Arabs resemble Jews both In person and
