OUR COAST DEFENSES.
Colonel Michie Oh the Need Of Re.
placing Our Present "Pen.ShOOt-
ers: with Heavy Eified Guns.

Despite the inclemency OF tho weather Stein
way Hall was comfortably nlled last evening
when Colonel p. s. Michie, of West Point, lee
tured on "Sea Coast Defenses" /" before the
General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen.
The lecture was illustrated by stereoptlcon
views. Practically, he said, We have no Navy.
Our Notifications are worthless, and were 1t
not for our torpedo system we would be In a
defenseless condition in case OF war. AS q
citizen Of New York he had called tho at
tention OF the Legislature to the fact that were
our harbor attacked by any of the great
maritime powers we could make no defense.
He spoke Of the nations which held fortified
places in close proximity to our Atlantic
coast, and he thought that the coast
should be guarded by three fleets. New York
above all others should be well fortified.
Owing to the many improvements In large
guns Colonel Niche thought that IL was wise
for the Government to wait until further de.
velopments before extensive appropriations
were made for fortiilcations. The smooth
bore guns with which most Of our forts are
armed are, in comparison with the modern
rifle guns, useless weapon. He exhibited a
model Of the projectile fired by the modern
1OO-ton gun and the round ball fired by the
smooth-bore guns. There was difference of
about 500 pounds between the two. "This,"
he said, picking up the round ball,
sis the proiectile that our forts
were built to withstand, and
this" pointing to the projectile Of the 100
ton gun, sis what our forts Will have to re-
ceive in the event OF a war. Do you wonder
that our forts are defenseless? The guns that
protect our harbor are mere pea-shooters.
Supposing we should have war with Italy,
for Instance, what ransom do you think New
York would pay to escape few OF these pro-
iectiles fired from 1O0ton gun" In speak
ing OF stone fortlfcations he recalled the
bombardment of Alexandria. He was pleased
to say, however, that our torpedo system was
the most perfect In the world. Views OF the
different experiments made with torpeioes at
Fort Willett were exhibited. Though tho
torpedo system was good, we needed guns to
back 1t up.--NeD York World.

JAY GOULD In POOR HEALTH.
Urgent Reasons for His Propose,
Long Vacation Abroad.

When Jay Gould was questioned yesterday
as TO his proposed trip around the world, that
great railroad magnate hesitatingly replied
that II his now yacht should be finished I'm
June, he would probably leave within n month
afterward His intention Is TO spend next
winter In the Mediterranean. He Will be
accompanied by his family, and Will be alb
sent about two years. making the longest
pauses in Italy, Greece, France, Egypt and
India. He also intends to spend some tlme
in studying the habits of the people In
China, Japan and Australia. Mr.. Gould as
serts that he has no fear of panic during his
absence.
His interest in the Western Union, he de-
clared is simply an Investment, and as a di
rector OF the Union Pacific he considers that
he leaves 1t iu good hands. Meantime Mr.
Gould contemplates a business trip through
the West, perhaps visiting California. 1t was
learned by the Star reporter that about two
weeks ago, feeling eighty unwell, Mr.. Gould
called upon prominent physician, having
already resolved to make trip abroad, and
