THE NEEDS OF OUR NAVY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The report of
Admiral Porter was made public to-day.
lie condemns the principle on which the
new vessels now under contract are being
oullt, and says that no cruising vessel
should be built with less than full sail
and full steam power; that vessels like
the Chicago, Boston and others, with
merely auxiliary sail power, will be use
less as cruisers in time of war, be-
cause they can remain away from
nome only as long as their
coal lasts. He also condemns the policy
OF building few vessels at Il time, and
says that the country should build a fleet
or twenty heavy sea-gOing armOred ships
within two years, and thus stand upon a
footing that would enable us to protect
eur otherwise defenseless coasts, and
probably avert a foreign war by being
amply prepared to carry it on. He saws
that with respectable navy to
enforce respect to our flag
ON the seas our merchant marine would
soon again be what it was before the civil
war broke out. Our existing navy, he
says, is about what it was in 1861, and is
rapidly deteriOrating, and in case of war
with a foreign country. while we would
undoubtedly eventually win, we would
suffer enormously in prestige and ma
terial loss at the outset before we could
put ourselves in condition to fight.

PRUSSIA'S DIET.
The Financial Situation ImprOved-The
Railway Control a Success.

Railway Control a Success.
BERLIN, Nov. 2O.-The Prussian Diet
was opened at noon in the White Hall of
the Royal Castle, by Herr Won Pultkamer,
Minister of the Interior. The speech
from the throne set forth that the tinan-
cial situation had improved, and that the
working of railways by the State had
resulted in the accumulation of con-
siderable surplus. The new budget does
not make any claim on the credit of the
State, but certain disproportiOn con-
tinues in regard to the resources of the
Treasury as compared with the demands
on it, arising from the pressure of COM
munal charges, and the inadequacy of
the salaries of public officials. The
speech announced the Introduction in the
Diet of bill taxing incomes derived from
property, and of measures for the further
purchase of railways by the State.
In view OF the fact that the Imperial
budget fixes a much smaller matricula-
tory contribution, and that a larger rev.
enue is expected from customs duties and
the tobacco tax, it has been possible to
frame the budget for 1SS4-S5 so as to effect
an equilibrium between the re-
ceipts and expenditures. The
speech concludes by summoning the
Diet to address itself to its labors In the
security of an assured peaceful state of
affairs throughout the country. The
budget estimates the receipts and expen-
ditures for the fiscal year of 1SS4-S5 at
1,112,S00,000 marks each. The members
of the Chamber of Deputies received the
speech coldly. They complain that the pas
sage dealing with bills on taxation is not
clear. The Liberal newspapers criticise the
speech adversely, saying that it does not
not satisfy public curiosity concerning
the real taxation, that the programme
generally is cOlorless and insignificant,
and that the proposed bill taxing interest
accruing from capital will not obtain a
majority in the Lower House of the Diet,
especially while landed property remains
exempt from impost,

KEIFER ASKED TO RETIRE.
The Action in the Interest of Republican
Harmony

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The Hackensack
(N.J.) Republican will contain tomorrow
an interview with William Walter Phelps.
member-elect of the next Congress, in
which he gives expression to the general
wish among the Republican members
of the next House that ex-Speaker
Keifer should refuse to be a candidate
for the empty honor of a denomination.
1t seems that Phelps has written to
Keifer at the suggestion of members in
different parts of the country. some of
whom have served before and others who
enter Congress for the first time. They
believe that their party will be
strengthened by taking a new de-
parture, and that the House of Rep
resentatives is the best place to begin the
new movement in the selection of new
names for all the positions. 1t is said
that the reason why Mr.. Phelps was Sc
lected to act as spokesman was because
ne is net personally acquainted with the
eX-Speaker, and being a New Jersey Re-
publican he has not been
involved in any of the fac
tionaI quarrels in the party. He is,
therefore, acceptable to both Stalwarts
and Half-breeds. In this interview Phelps
expresses the opinion that the ex-Speaker,
having the welfare OF the Republican
party at heart, will not fail to
recognize that its future success de-
pends on united action, which can only
be obtained by mutual, full and friendly
concessions and avoidances of any action
that will tend to keep up the disagree
ments OF the past two or three years. Mr..
PhelpS, IN the name of the party and
country, appealed to Mr.. Keifer to an
nounce to his friends that he would not
accept denomination. He felt sure that
MIR. keifer's example would be followed
by the Sergeant-at-Armsa and other officers
of the last House. Mr.. Keifer's reply has
not come to hand.
The EUeni2lg star says that a Demo-
cratic Senator now in this city gives some
information as to the reorganization of
the Senate by the Republicans this winter
This Senator was, prior to the adjourn
ment of the last Congress, authorized to
wait upon the Republicans to inform
them that the Democrats would not offer
any obstacle to the election of the Presi-
dent pro. tenn, as they were desirous of
avoiding an extra session. The Demo-
cratic Senator gave the information to
Senator Allison, and in pursuance of this
Edmunds was elected to succeed Judge
DAVIS. Since the Democratic Senator re-
ferred to has been in Washington this
time and during the past few
days he has talked with Senator
Edmunds about the reorganization. Mr..
Edmunds has been advised that the Demo-
Gratis recognize the right of the Repub-
licans to control the Senate by reason of
their majority, and that they, the Demo-
Gratis, will not, in any manner, obstruct
the Republicans in reorganizing the body.
Mr.. Edmunds says that the Republicans
will, in due time, after the meeting of
Congress, proceed to reorganize the Sem
ate; that Malone will be accorded pre-
cisely the same consideration as any Re-
publican Senator, and no more, and that
no special concessions as to the Secretary
ships or any other office will be accorded
him.

who Need the Same Man.
WASHINGTON Nov. 20.-Horace Cap
ron, alias Little Horace, was recently
pardoned out of Pennsylvania prison at
the instance of the District of Columbia
officials, who hoped to use him as a wit
ness in the trials of the indicted members
of the old detective force. Capron was
brought here from his Pennsylvania Jail
and held under an Indictment for robbery.
A Charleston, S. c., officer has been
in the city several days with
a requisition for Capron, who is
wanted in Charleston for rObbing the First
National Bank of that city of $4,000 in
April, 1879. He withheld the presenta-
tiOn of his requisition at the wish of the
District officers upon representations that
knowledge of its existence might inter-
fere with the testimony expected from
Capron. To-day, however, the officer,
accompanied by A. j. Mackey, delivered
his papers to Chief Justice Cartier. After
examining them the Chief Justice said
that Horace was indicted here, and if he
leaves the testimony against him would be
nOlle prosecuted. tie would see that
he didn't escape, and if the cases were
South Carolina authorities, in obedience
to the requisitiOn. The Charleston officer
left his papers to return home and come
back when wanted. Judge Mackey stated
to the Chief Justice that the demand for
Horace's immediate rendition would not
be pressed. but the reQuisitiOn would be
filed in order that it might be Obeyed by
the surrender of the prisoner when he
ceases to be amenable to this court.

POOLE DOOMED TO HANG.
HIS SECOND TRIAL ENDS IN A
CONVICTION.

The Prisoner Acknowledges Himself a
Fenian and Calls for Three Cheers for
the Irish Republic-A Wall Against
the Tyranny of the Irish Secret Socie-
ties.
DUBLIN, Nov. 20.--At the trial to-day of
Joseph Poole, for the murder of John
Kenny, William Lamie, the brother-in-
law of the prisoner, repeated his former
evidence respecting the divisions in the
ranks of the Fenian party. He also testi-
fed that he believed at the time of his
murder that Kenny had been an informer,
but since then he has reason to believe
otherwise, and was now of the opinion
that revenge for the seducing of a girl had
led to the murder.
Francis Geoghan testified that he lived
in the same room with Poole. On the
night Kenny was murdered he heard the
prisoner come into the room and whisper
to fellow lodger, ''Kenny will tell no
no more."
Mrs. Brady, prOprietress of the lodging
house, dep9sed to hearing noise in her
house on the night of the murder. This
finished the case for the prosecution. DIR.
Webb, counsel for Poole, addressed the
jury, arguing that there was no evidence
before the court to bring home guilt to
the accused. After receiving the instruc-
tons of the court the jury retired, and in
about 40 minutes returned with verdict
of guilty as charged in the indictment.
The court pronounced the sentence of
death upon the prisoner. Poole, in an ad-
dress to the court, admitted that he was a
Fenian, cursed England and called for
''thFee cheers for the Irish republic"
Before he was sentenced, Poole spoke
at length in earnest and at times excited
tones. He emphatically denied that he
murdered Kenny. He admitted that he
was member OF the Fenian Brotherhood,
and said that he would be proud to 90 to
the scatfOld for being a member of it. Its
object was not to commit murder, but to
free Ireland from the tyrannical rule of
England. He believed that he was perSe-
cuted because he was an enemy of the
government under which he had the mis-.
fortune to live. Poole acknowledged being
i'll kenny's company on the night of the
murder, but declares that he had no
hand in striking him down, He had be-
longed to the Brotherhood since he was Is
years old, but he had never belonged to
the vigilance committee. His purpose
was to wait until his countrymen were
prepared to strike a blow for indepen-
denee when he would cooperate with
them. In conclusion he said, 81 am not
afraid to die. Farewell all, farewell Ire
land. Three cheers for the Irish Repub-
lie, to h with English tyranny"
