II annears from -ecent e5vice

It appears from recent edvices that the
government now has three separate and
distinct boards organized and composed
OF experts from the army and navy
which are giving special attention to our
coat and land deienses. In addition to
these there is. says the New York Trib-
une, q house committee. of which Mr..
Randall Is chairman, which has just got
together at Philadelphia, and a senate
committee of which General Joseph r.
Hawiey Is chairman, which has been at
work for some months In the specific d.
rect1on Of ascertsinIng whether We can
make heavy armament in this country.
The defenseless condition of the great
ports Of this country against modern
gUnnery is one Of the things that must
be met IN congress this winter. 1t would
be possible for England with q fleet of
her modern ships Of war armed with
modern guns to take possession of and
levy tribute on any large seaport of thIs
country. The fact that there Is no pres
ent possibility of such an act does not
lessen the necessity for measures to
strengthen our Notifications. coast and
otherwise.
