Secretary Hunts Plea for a New
On fit.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The annual
report of Secretary of the Navy Hunt
has been completed. Secretary Hunt Gays
the condition of the navy imperativelY de-
mands the prompt and earnest attention of
Congress. Unless some action is taken in
its behalf it must soon dwindle into insig
nifcance. We have been unable to make
such an appropriate display of our naval
power abroad as will cause US to be respect
ed. The exhibition of our weakness
in this important arm of the de-
fenses is calculated to detract from our
occupying In the eyes Of foreign nations
that rank to which we know ourselves to be
Justly entitled. Calls are made upon the
department to send vessels into different
parts of the world in order to prevent threat
ened aggression upon the rights of Ameri-
can citizens and to shield them in time of
civil commotion in foreign lands from in
suit or personal indignity. 1t is to be de-
plored that In many such instances it has
proved impossible to respond to the calls
from the want of a sufficient number of
vessels. These things ought not to be.
While the navy should not be large, It
should at all times afford a nucleus for its
enlargement upon an emergency. It's
power of prompt and extended expansion
should be established. 1t should be sufi-
ciently powerful to assure the navigator that
In whatsoever sea he shall sail his ships he
is protected by the stars and stripes of his
country.
The Secretary says that all the triumphs
which illustrate the history of the navy are
connected with the glory of the nation.
The achievements of the navy constitute a
strong claim upon the affections of a patri-
otic and grateful people. The Secretary
speaks very highly of the officers of the
navy. He says: Upon the whole, whether
it be as a means of self protection to the
long line of cities and harbors upon our
coasts, or to guard our commerce on the
high seas, or to insure our citizens sojourn-
ing in foreign lands and their property and
persons against outrage, or to take and
keep our proper place among nations, or to
maintain the sentiment Of patriotism con-
nected with our navy and with the
memories of its departed heroes,
or to reap the advantages of the researches
and labors of its officers in the further pro-
gress of advanced science, 1t becomes the
duty of Congress to see to it that the navy
of the United States should not be left to
perish through inanition, but should be re-
stored to a condition of usefulness, in
which it may upon occasion be so expanded
as to become the ready means OF protection
at home, or active and aggressive warfare
In the ports and waters of an enemy"
The Secretary recommends the plans OF
the Advisory Board telegraphed yesterday.
The estimates for the Navy Department for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1888, amount
To 800 079 ZIG

THE TARIFF CONVENTION.
Taking High Ground for PrOtec-
tIOn-Steamshfp Subsidies Deman-
ded-FaVOrIDg a Revision of Duties
But Hands off tIIl the Changes are
Advised.

NEW YORK, December I'm the Tariff
Convention, at the conclusion of Mr..
Brewers address, five minute speeches Of
delegates, representing various industries,
were resumed. At the evening session Jno.
Roach addressed the convention on ship
building, and the rank of our marine to-
day, and it's rank In the worlds commerce.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Reach's address
the memorials and resolutions, presented by
the Committee on Resolutions, were again
taken up. A clause in the address, relating
to the abolition Of the tax on whisky and
tobacco were, after some debate, stricken
out. The resolutions, as adopted, de-
clare in favor of the policy of
protection of home industry and such an
intelligent revision of the tariff laws as will
give full and harmonious effect to the
protective policy by civilian commission
appointed by Congress, and pending the
deliberations of the commission disturbing
and destructive assaults upon the protective
duties on special Industries shall not be
permitted. The resolutions also demand
Immediate action by Congress on the
recent practice of overturning pro.
tective duties and for the prompt
adoption of amendments to the laws, which
will furnish rule for the decision of cases
of disputed classification in harmony with
the spirit aud purpose Of our carefully de-
vised protective system of tariff legislation.
That the blame for the decline in Ameri-
can shipping rests with the government,
which treats this great interest of the couu-
try not merely with neglect, but even dis
eliminates against it. The continued pros
perity and full reward OF our other indus
tries, and principally agriculture, require
that American shipping should be restored
to its rightful place on the seas. Our
foreign carrying trade should be built up
through the adoption by the government of
a policy similar to that by which Great
Britain aud other European governments
have built up their merchant marine-a
policy broad, comprehensive and equitable,
such as will induce the investment of capt.
tai in ships built in American shipyards.
The American ships, like the American
locomotive, will assume its equal chance
with foreign ships in the competition for
business.
The convention urges upon Congress the
importance of taking Immediately such
interest demands, to bring 1t again to that
position, which Is due to our nation on the
sea. L. was also resolved to request the
abolition of the tax on bank checks, pro-
prietary articles and matches. The chair
man then, on motion, appointed a commit
tee of twenty-five to lay the proceedings of
the convention before Congress. The con-
vention then adjourned sine die.

PHILADELPHIA PLUNDERED.
Tax Receiver Hunters Report on
the Frauds.

PHILADELPHIA, December lin his re-
port made to-day to the City Council by
John Hunter, Receiver of Taxes, it is stated
that although the examination of the books
of his department of the city government
is not much more than commenced, aud al
though that examination has been re-
tsrded by the Acting Collector of Delin-
quent Taxes, VIM. J. Douohue, so much
has been developed as to show that the city
OF Philadelphia has been largely defrauded.
He then lays before the Council some of the
results of his examination with the remark
that he cannot st this time estimate the
amount due the city, but that perhaps
some of it may be recovered. He describes
a number of methods by which the city has
been defrauded, with examples illustrating
each, and adds that in order to accomplish
the frauds there must have been collusion
between the Tax Receivers and Controller
Department, and system adopted by which
the Treasury was annually robbed of thou
sands of dollars. False allowances appear
all through, from the entry of the payment
of taxes to the taking off OF the balance
sheet.
The Controller at the time referred to In
the report was Samuel P. Hancock, while
the Tax Receiver was Thomas j. Smith.

pleasant overhead. The Floridians are ex-
tremely happy at their good luck. The
city is full Of people, and there is a big
crowd at the Exposition. The Florida build
ing has been wonderfully improved in all
respects within the past two DAYS, and was
ready to-day for official inspection.
A magnificent display OF msnte, stair
posts and cornlees, composed of twenty
four different varieties of native woods.

who welcomed everybody to the Florida
building and to Florida in one of his most
elaborate and eloquent speeches, in which
he spoke of his pride for his State Other
there is no other Florida In this
Union. She has soil and climate and pro-
ducts peculiarly her own. God made her
soil to suit her climate, and her products to
suit both. She has the largest area of anv
State east of the Mississippi. Before any
other State was known, Ponce De Leoo
landed on the shores Of Florida, and st
Augustine stands to-day the Oldest OF cities,
with modern architecture mingling with

ruled Florida until she became part OF the
Union. Since the war her progress and
development have been wonderful.
Major Russell then spoke of her
extended seacoast, her magnificent soil aud
scenery around Tallahassee aud up the st.
Johns river, her orange groves and her
other crops, which can be cultivated twelve
months in the year. His eloquent eulogy
of the Land of Flowers was frequently ap-
plauded, and will accomplish great good
for The State. He never spoke better and
at the close of his remarks, in response to
loud calls, Governor BlOxham made few
timely remarks, cOmplimenting and en-
dOrsing Major Russell's address. The Gov
eInor was greeted with hearty and prolong
ed applause. He and his party have been
kindly received here and honored in many
ways.
Flohda's day was all her own, and has
been the most successful OF any special day
yet set apart, and she will reap rich har
vest from her investment here, although
late in getting it in shape for the exhibit
ton.
The drummers are holding the fort to
