WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-The report of
the secretary of the navy says the navy is
considerably improved; thirty-four vessels
are now In condition, six nearly ready for
sea, thirteen more needing repairs, but
with the amount appropriated asked for
all necessary work can be done on them.
Iu case of necessity 81 war vessels can be
put in service. His estimates are $l4,-
562, ,0e0, of which $7,35o,O00 is for the pay
Of the navy. There has been commend
able economy in the expenditure of the
appropriation, aud there is no deficiency,
Rapidly increasing exports demand more
vessels to keep pace with the great agri-
cultural and other developments of the
country. Commerce must be guarded
on seas or it will inevitably suffer.

such means aud fostering care as the govern

should have, such strength and character
given to it that it will be able to furnish
protection to our commerce wheresoever
it may be needed. The remainder of the

lumber depredations and says: We cannot
close our eyes to the fact that anything
like complete success in suppressing un-
lawful practices is impossible unless the
efforts made by this department for the
protection of public property meet with
the hearty co operation on the part of the
legislative branch of the government. Ac.
tual experience enables me to say that
want of such cooperation has been and
will always be an announcement to de-
predators to persist 10 their lawless opera
tions and to defy the authorities. The
secretary recommends such legislation as
will preserve and enlarge the timber-bear.
ing lands of the country.
