ENGLAND'S NAVY,
Preparations Under Way For the Material
Strengt hening of the British Navy.


LONDON, March 13.-It is stated on
what ought to be good authority, that
the naval estimates for the ensuing year,
which are now ready for parliamentary
action, will provide for a considerable in
crease in the strength of the fleets. The
reasons given for the increase are the I'M
certain condition of affairs in the eastern
Mediterranean countries where En9land's
commercial and territorial interests have
increased out of all proportion to her
naval force available for those
waters; and, secondly, the need of more
widely diffused representation of En-
glands power throughout the world, in
consequence of the colonial schemes of
Germany and France, out of which fire.
quently arise questions of jurisdiction
which require prompt action. Whatever
Vattal may have laid down as natural law
and international comfy, the unwritten
law among nations to-day is very nearly
''The good old rule, the simple plan
Of The may help who cam -
And England is finding to her cost that
claims of prior settlement, for instance
in the Pacific Isles, do not count for much
as against the prior appearance on the
scene of German gunboats. 1t is believed
that the navy will see many changes dur
ing the year. Among them may possibly
be the first steps toward greatly strength
ening points at the ocean termini of the
Canadian Pacific railway system, and a
corresponding decrease in the Importance
of Gibraltar on account of the inten-
ton to use the western route for
military and other communication with
India. In connection with the increased
taxation which the additions to the navy
will neceSSitate, it may be said on good
authority that a considerable part of Mr..
Gladstone's time of late has been con-
sumed, not in perfecting the details of
his Irish measures, but in devising one of
those brilliant readjustments of taxation
for which he has become famous, and
which have marked him as the most
successful Chancellor of the Exchequer
which England has ever produced. He
hopes by another exhibition of his
skill in this line to so direct the Incl
dence of taxation as not to make the ad-
tional burden of increased naval estimates
source OF hardship or discomfort among
rate payers.

THE HUNTERS MIsFoRTUNEs.
How They Were Received and Enter

How They Were Received and Enter
tanned by So-called Friend.
Three hunters. who are well known
In the city, were invited by pseudo
friend to come out to his ranch and
enjoy good shooting. This individual Is
n yery rich man, who was formerly a
resident Of st. Louis, but who is here
for the benefit of his health, and owns u
big ranch within 30 miles of the city.
The hunters were delighted at the in
yitations and set out with the aDticipa-
tions of Jolly good time and a full game
bag. They arrived at their destination,
and were received by the host, but in
stead OF being cordially invited into the
house, as expected. they were led through
one large pasture into another. Here
the host said, ''Boys, you can enoamp
here" but don't build fire, It's dan
gerous." Then the host left them and
they saw him no more. Before he left
he gave them some corn for their horses,
but he demanded and received 30 cents
for the same. This petty meanness WAS
a novel experience for the boys. and
they didn't propose to trouble him any
more than he wanted to be, and Ii is
evident by bis subsequent conduct that
he didn't take very much stock In his
guests.
Ii was rather cold day, but the son
sbope brightly and they were not in
convenience by the weather. They went
on hunting expedition, but found no
game. AT last they came across pond
that they thought was deer and duck
rendesvOuZ. After waiting for some
time they decided 10 camp there and rise
early in the morning for the deer and
ducks. The night WAS bitter cold, for
norther reigned supreme, and, what was
wOi Sc, they had only two blankets be-
tween three of them, because they ex-
pected to camp and be entertained In
eral supply OF provisions and
beer. but no whisky or coffee
TO warm them. That night was
to the hunters the coolest and most mis-
cradle they ever passed. In the morning
they arose. half frozen, and sought the
pool. anxious to bring some game home.
There was no deer there, neither was
there a sight of single duck. All that
could be seen was six little harmless
doves, and these they ruthlessly muir
dered. The discOnsolate and half frozen
hunters returned to their camping
grounds and, in spite of the prohibition,
they made fire and took frugal
breakfast. Then they hitched up and re-
turned home. In passing from the
second pasture, where the host
enoamped them. TO the first
pasture, which their host had
ignored, they had the modification OF
seeing all kinds Of game running wild
in the latter. Then the hearts were
sore and they discharged their guns &C
the tantalizing birds. In passing the
residence of their host they found that
he had not risen; so they put on the
door a card, THANK you for nothing"
and hurried home.
