Secretary ThampsOn's Opinions and
Plans.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-In his statement OF
the condition of the navy, Secretary Thompson
says in regard to the repairing of ships:
Before Congress meets shall have six yes
ever existed and creditable to any navy of the
world. By next spring shall put out three
more. In short during the present fiscal year
ten of our naval vessels will have been finished
up in manner which will make them equal to
any emergency in point of strength and dura.
bility. Among this number are the Rich
mond, Quinnebaug, Lackawana, Wachusett
and Shenandoah.
He has found that white oak is the cause of
the deterioration of ships, and the history of
for building ships. In regari to several old
vessels, he says:
1t would be a waste of money to repair
them. If Congress would abolish the law
which makes it obligatory on me to transfer
into the Treasury all moneys derived from the
sale of old material, L could sell some Of them
and build new ones. But as the law now stands
shall leave these ships to remain as they are
awhile. A great deal of work is being done
with the money on hand. L do not intend to
extent of one dollar.
He believes that Congress will pass the
three million bill for building new ships, and
says:
during my term, which will certainly not be
longer than the present administration, and
probably not SO long, believe 1 shall see the
American navy competent to protect our COM
merce, and with the new ships, which believe
will soon ba built, and our Improvements in
torpedoes, am confident that it will soon be
able to protect the harbor of New York from

believe that the American people do not look
upon the $4,000 600 or $4O00O0O annually ap-
propriated to keep up our navy with disfavor
What they are anxious for is that it should be
properly expended. 1t is my opinion that the

The Chinese Embassy

NEW YORK. Aug. ia member of the
Chinese embassy is reported as saying that they
simply have come here the same as any
embassy to look after the interest of their ma
ton and to see that the treaties with the
United States are honestly observed. They see
nothing wrong in their lcountrymen coming to
the United States, as Americans in China
go where they please and engage in what they
please as provided in the treaty. By the treaty
also they claim the Chinese have a right to
come to America. They do come and will con-
tInue to come as before. If the American
Congress should abrogate the treaty which, the
Americans themselves sought through Mr..
Burlingame, the Chinese government would do
nothing, but the American nation is admitted
to be of higher civilization than the Chinese,
and said the member of the embassy ''We
look to this nation for good example in the
observance of treaties" He thought, however.
If the treaty was abrogated it would be un-
pleasant for Americans in China. With a
treaty violated by the American government
there could not we'll exist friendly relations,
but there were no fears of war.

one of class made to prey upon honest men

His soul chafes under the humiliation of hav-
ing his drink charged. He has no objection
to living on his wife's plain sewing, but the
iron necessity of being under obligations to

thousand million of greenbacks issued next

Mr.. Hays speculation resulted differently.
Probably had the Initiation of the currency kept
up till he could have sold his lots and got pay
for them, he would have started bank in OPP

been National at all. Possibly had he been
prudent and saved the money that was paid
