Tuitrl States Navy has been talked

culcd. 1T BIAS sremed that all TINS
talk has anioppfed to nDtIiiilg, bit
doubtless it has been al effective pro-
cess OF iipening of the project
aud bringing it to cnlninafloli. Al
MI events there is now comparatively
little objection to the plan, IT we may
iu,lpe from the result of Il conference
held last week between the SECRETARY
Of the Navy, the. heads of the bureaus
of the Navy Departments anu the
| House Committee on Naval Affairs,
when n general reorganization OF the
navy was discussed aud the un;lhi-
NOUS agreement was to the effect thai
the United States should bnild { new
navy equal in all respects to the de
i n,ai,Is ard emergencies OF mpalerii
! naval warfare. Surely, sueli Il Warld-
Il ina,ortant Republic as our govern
mt.n. now represents should support
\ a navy of sufficient strength t0 pro-
tect her in any and every sHaposabie
ease. which it does not do at present.
Nor does it support such an army.
! Although the wedding eerenloa,ies
of Senator Don Cameron and Lizzie
Sherman, niece of the General and
Secretary. did not take place IN
Washington, yet, as the parties and
th.ir families are So well known here,
The event Of their nariiase has
formed most important topic IN So
cial circles in this city for II week or
two pasr. The bride spent last VIM
ter here and WAS much esteemed
:. though that doesn't tell much, for she
would have been fcted and sought
FIR ON account of her connection and
nrospects, had she been the reverse
OF pleasing in manner and features.
She is, however, ii very pretty SCH
sible and accomplished Young lady.
The wedding was brilliant, of course,
las white silk, point lace, white lili.cs
and orange blnssams could make it.
! This match is considered very I'M
. portant and desirable one, on al
hands, despite the fact that Senator
Don has children older than his bride
!. Some one aptly says, "rhe big pOliti.
/ cal families seem to be making ALI.
