~ rlhe stevens battery Sold.
The famous Stevens Battery, which was be-
gun thirty-seven years ago, and is still unfin-
ished, was sold at Hoboken, N. j., on the 29th
ult., for $55,000. It has cost, as it stands,
81, 100000. A year ago q bid Of $125, 600 was
refused. 1t was begun in 1913 by Robert L.
Stevens, and intended for an irresistible war
vessel When he died he left the task of COM
plotting it to his brother and 81 $780, 400 for the
work. The brother died in due time, leaving
the battery to the state of New Jersey. All but
$1O0 900 of the appropriation has been expend-
cd and it is said $50O,000 is needed to complete
the battery. No work has been done on it for
some time. The heirs of the Stevens applied
to the chancellor of New jersey for and received
an order directing the sale and removal of the
vessel, in order that they might make use of
the land occupied by it. Opinions differ as to
the usefulness of the battery in case of war.
Applications for its purchase have been made
h11f al NJ
our government could not permit its sale that
is, when the would-be purchaser was at war
with state with which the United States was
at peace. The purchase and completion of the
battery by the United States have been argued,
but congress has made no provision to that end.

AS The STAR predicted the plan to adjourn
congress on the 31st inst. has been abandoned
as fmpractieable. The Senate has amended the
resolution by substituting June 10th as the date
OF adjournment, and the House, when 1t comes
20 consider the matter, will, very probably,
extend the time to June 18th. Sober second
thought convinced the statesmen who were
urging ali early adjournment, regardless OF
everything else, that they were liable to be
held responsible by their constituents for the
neglect OF public business which their plan in
volyed. Every day since the adoption Of the
adjournment resolution by the House. fmpor-
tant measures have been presented In both
branches OF Congress, with the view OF procur-
