OUR N. G. NAVY.
Views Of Admiral Nichols Concerns
ing Its Improvement.

Views Of Admiral Nichols Concerns
ing Its Improvement.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.--Rear Admiral
Edward Z. Nichols, OF the United States
navy, was putting a cigar and walking
back and forth, his tall military figure at
tracing attention, when a reporter for the
Mail and Express met him this afternoon
at the Albemarle Hotel. "You want ta
know something about our navy, ehfs
said he. "Why, we haven't any navy, to
speak of. We have some old-style ves-
sells. but they are not effective"
"What kind of war vessels should we
buildW
"Ahl that is to be decided. Shall we
use American or European brains in the
construction Of our vessels, is a question.
Ny idea is that we can profit by experi-
ments that England and France nave
made, and construct navy equal to
theirs in latest Improvements. Thus far
we have gained by not building a navy,
because by this time the vessels perhaps
would be simply types OF ancient
and worthless construction. American
brains can be used to construct
from models that have already proven
successful. The Japanese govern
ment is having fine war vessel OF the
latest pattern constructed in England. /
presume our government VIII DullQ some
just like 1t. / hear great many people
say we ought TO have ironclads. They
don't know what they are talking about.
We don't want ironclads. We should
have vessels Of great speed with capa-
city for carrying at least months sup
ply OF coal. Ironclads rust out by the ac-
tion Of the salt water. Our vessels shoulG
be built with steel bottoms and q steel dG8
flecting top. All the first-class war vessels
are so constructed. don't think we Will
need any of the heavy armored citadel
English war ships. They are not spe-
cially fitted for sea voyage, only for
harb0r defense and for bombarding forts.
They are hard to sink. The citadel is In
the centre. and the front and rear of the
vessel can be shot away and the citadel
will not sink, but continue to be a float
ing battery, belching forth deadly mis-
sives"
'lt is reported that our naval board Of
engineers cannot construct engines to
run a vessel over 10 or II miles an hour.
Is that trueW
swell, II a blacksmith has been making
horseshoes all his life and is suddenly or.
dered to make fine rifles, would like to
know what kind of rifle he would turn
out. Our naval engineers have had no
experience to amount TO anything. They
have been attending to petty details that
scarcely come within the purview OF en-
gine building. Yet they are competent
and thoroughly versed In the art OF con-
structing engines In theoretical way.
Practical experience Is what they need"

TIE OUTLOOK.

LONDON, Aug. 8, 3 A. M.-The Times
says: while it must freely be conceded
that the UnionIsts, il they succeed in their
bold effort to reconvert the Liberals to
their old principles, will be doing the
country the greatest service, it is
vain to ignore the dangers to
which their attempt will expose
the Seperatists. Being numerically
larger, the tendency will be to absorb the
smaller body. Although Lord Harting-
ton and Mr.. Chamberlain will cooperate
on the Irish question ulterior debatable
questions that are certain to be raised
will divide them."
The Standard says: ''The Gladstone
party does not intend to disturb the gov
ernment in the present session, but will
endeavor to obtain a statement from the
government of the general principles up
on which 1t will deal with Ireland. Mr..
Gladstone expects to unite the Liberals
on some other issue. II the crucial ques-
tion arises the Unionists will leave the
House bodily instead Of putting the min
listers In a minority"

GAINS HIS POINT.
HIS ARRANGEMENT INSERTED
IN THE RECORD.

putile Efforts by the Democrats to Pre-
vent the Printing of the DIsgraceful
Stump speech at the Peoples Expense
-Republfcans Hold Everything in
Check to Accomplish Their Object.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-In the House
today, Mr.. Baker, OF New York, rising
to personal explanation, referred to the
introduction by him of the preamble and
resolution arraigning the Democratic
marty on Monday last. In Characterization
of that resolution the gentleman from
Pennsylvania [Mr. Randall) mad stated
that. in his judgment, 1t was indecent and
disrespectful. The gentleman from
Texas (Mr. Reagan) had also
characterized 1t in language which the
facts hardly warranted, and it was due
not only to the House but to himself that
the resolution should be embodied in the
Record. in order that it might appear
whether it justified the language used. 1t
had been furthest from his thought and
purpose to propose anything to the House
that should be disrespectful or lacking III
decency.
ASKS THAT IT BE PRINTED.
He therefore asked that under the cir
cumstances the resolution might be print
ed in the Record.
Mr.. Caldwell. Of Tennessee, objected.
Mr.. Baker then took the floor on ques-
lion of privilege and as part OF his re-
marks had the resolution read in order
thus to secure it's publication in the
Record. Several efforts were made by the
Democrats to prevent the reading of the
paper, and during one of the Interruptions
Mr.. Gibson, of West Virginia, declared
that the paper contained statements
which were false upon their face. When
the document had been about half read,
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, raised point of
order, that it was disrespectful to the
House, and asked that the Speaker rule
the paper out OF order.
THE SPEAKER DECLINES.
This the Speaker declined to do on the
ground that the question of disrespect
was one which must be decided by the
House, and that before the House could
decide upon it the reading must be con-
cuded.
From this decision Mr.. Bland appealed,
and upon Mr.. Bount's motion to table
the appeal raised the point Of no quorum.
MessFs. Baker and Bland were ap-
pointed tellers, and for an hour they re-
tanned their places in front of the Speak
ar's desk, but no quorum was forth
coming.
STICKING TO THE ORDER.
Requests for unanimous concert to put
various measures upon their passage
were denied by demands for the regular
order, generally made by Mr.. Browne, of
Indiana, who also objected to Mr.. Morri-
sons request to take up the adjournment
resolution for the purpose of concurring
in the Senate amendment. Mr.. Browne
4,to hot l,.0 Il fcn ~
until the pending matter was disposed of
Missouri would withdraw his point of no
quorum. Finally at 1:45 O'Clock quo
rum appeared aud the appeal was tabled
by vote of 159 TO 4.
The reading of Mr.. Bakers resolution
was then continued, but before it was
completed unanimous consent was given
to printing it in The Record.

THREE BILLS SIGNED.
River and Harbor, Deficiency and
Sundry Civil Made Laws.

SunQry civil MADE Laws.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-This morning.
while the clerk of the House was reading
the Presidential veto on a pension bill,
the Presidents assistant secretary, Mr..
the chamber, and instantly he and the
message he held in his hand became a
target for every eye. When he announced
the Presidents approval of the deficiency,
sundry OWL and river and harbor bills
there was a round OF applause, and the
gloom which had settled upon the men,
bers by reason of rumors that were rife
that the river and harbor bill had been
vetoed was dispelled.
MIR. Randall asked and received unani-
nous consent to have printed IN the Rec
ord his speech upon the tariff bill intro
duced by him, and resolution was
adopted providing for the printing OF
8, 800 copies OF the adverse report of the
Committee on Ways and Means upon the
same measure.
Mr.. HemphIll submitted the agreeing
conference report upon the bill protecting
the interest OF the United States in the
Potomac flats. This was adopted.
Mr.. Morrison offered resolution grant
ing the committee appointed to investigate
the labor troubles In the West, permls-
sion to sit during the recess with all pow
ers granted to it In the original resolu-
tion providing for its appointment. This
was adopted.
The Senate having announced to the
House the appointment of committee
to wait upon the President and inform
him that Congress was ready to adjourn,
the Speaker appointed Messrs. Morrison,
Randall and Hiscock as similar COM
IN m RI af
THE ADJOURNMENT RESOLUTION.
The adjournment resolution was taken
up and the amendment Of the Senate fix
ing the hour OF adjournment at O'Clock
to-day was concurred in.
The bill was passed appropriating an
additional sum OF $35, 900 tor the selection
OF site for the Congressional library.
The same bill passed the Senate yester-
day. AT 1925 O'clock the committee ap-
pointed to wait upon the President and
inform him that Congress was ready to
adjourn, appeared at the bar OF the House
and announced that it had performed its
duty, and that the President had nothing
further TO communicate to Congress.
On motion of Mr.. O'Neill, OF Pennsylva-
MIA, the Senate bill was passed accepting
the gift OF Gen. Grants relics.
On motion Of Mr.. Neal, of Tennessee,
the bill was passed increasing to $150,000
the limit OF the cost OF the public building
at Chattanooga, Tenn.
The House then, at $40 O'Clock, took
recess for half an hour.
After the recess, Mr.. Hiscock, OF New
York, moved to suspend the rules and pass
the bill regulating duties on tobacco
wrappers. Mr.. Hiscock took the floor
and spoke In support of his motion until
seven minutes before 4 O'Clock. The next
three minutes were consumed in attempt
ing to secure consent to have tue ma
iority report on the tariff bill printed IN
the Record, and then the Speaker, without
any preliminary remarks, declared the
House adjourned sine die.

RIVERS AND HARBORs.
The Presidents Reasons for Signing
the Appropriation Bill.

The PRESIDENTS reasons for Signing
the Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-To an Associ-
ated Press reporter the President said
this morning that an examination of the
river and harbor bill, in the light of the
facts presented to him by Gen. Newton,
chief of engineers of the army, and Gen.
Parke, of the engineer corps, with whom
the President conferred on the subject.
has convinced him that on the whole the
interests of the government demanded its
approval.
Gen. Newton, whose knowledge of
the condition OF the present works
and the necessities for the future
was based on reports made to him
by the engineer corps OF the army,
assured the President that of the items In
the bill all but eighteen IN number, COM
prising less than per cent. of the amount
appropriated, were meretorious beyond
question, and while he in no manner CON
demned those, he was unable to give
positive opinion because of lack Of COM
plete information concerning them.
THE EXAMINATION.
The President made as thorough an ex-
animation OF these items as possible, and
although with such reports as were at
hand, he had been unable TO absolutely
satisfy himself as to their character. He
found that all appeared to be for the con-
tInuation OF work already begun and now
in course Of construction. The President
said he had gone over the bill as fully as
the data at hand and the time permitted
him for that purpose allowed, and
while some OF its provisions not included
in the items above mentioned were prob
ably objectlona able, be was satisfied that
most OF the improvements provided for
were Of great Importance, and he had
found that the loss which would ensue to
the government from deterioration of ex-
listing works in case Of further stoppage
would be very serious, and that the
amount of money, estimated by the War
Department at not less than $500, 900,
which would be required to protect and
preserve the work begun and in progress,
upon which many millions have already
been expended, would in case OF failure
to continue 1t now exceed by about $780,
600 the amount appropriated In the bill,
which, In the judgment OF the govern
ment engineers, may be unnecessary.
The bill is smaller than that for any like
period in several years. The appropria-
tion for the period ending in 1888 was
$lS.9SS, 1915. that for the period ending in
1885 SLABS, 300, and this for the period
ending in 1887 is $14, ,4I3, 300.

SCENES IN THE SENATE.
All Business Ruled Out in Fear OF
Objectionable Legislation.

ODJecJlOnaDle Legislation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The south
wing of the capitol was unusually quiet
during the day. The attendance Of men,
bers was small, and the crowd that in
past years filed the galleries during the
closing hours of the session was absent.
1t was observed that when the message
was received announcing that the Presi-
dent had approved the river and harbor
bill there was an exodus OF members
from the floor, and those who remained
spent the time in an exchange Of pleasan-
tries and farewell greetings. Profiting
by the experience of past years, the
Speaker notified the keeper of the House
restaurant early ia the day that the sale
of intoxicating liquors would not be per-
mitted, so thirsty members and visitors
to the House satisfied their thirst with
lemonade and other mild beverages. The
object OF leading Senators throughout the
day was to prevent any questionable
legislation, and the plan resorted 10 for
that purpose was in the first place to In
terpose objections TO requests for unan-
imOus consent, and In the second place to
suspend business by taking a recess.
THE ONLY BILLS PASSED.
Outside Of the passage OF couple OF
bills removing political disabilities, and
the bill to relieve some Michigan soldiers
from the disgrace OF dIsh0norable dis
charges, no business was done. There
were one or two frutless attem pts TO get
in the resolution for extra pay for Con-
gressional employees. When Mr.. Edmunds
was about TO start for the White House
in company with Mr.. Harris and the
House committee he eDjoined on few
Senators to object TO everything in his alb
sence, and his injunction was faithfully
observed. The only tendency to an
unpleasant manifestation in the closing
hours Of the session was Mr.. RiddleDer-
GERS objection to the usual resolution of
thanks to the presiding officer, but Mr..
Hawley, who was IN the chair, stretched
point and declared the resolution
adopted unanimously In total disregard of
Mr.. Riddleberger's demand that there
must be a quorum voting. There were
probably not more than thirty Senators
present at any one time during the day,
and the galleries were just as sllmly occu-
pied as the floor was.

The Excitement Still Increasing as
to the Recent Discovery.
Boston, Aug. 5.-The alleged dIscov-
cry OF gold in paying quantities in the
neighborlng town OF Arlington has caused
much excitement in the adjoining towns.
The excitement was increased to-day by
the arrival OF Prof. Fl. G. Henry, Of Buff
falo, O well known geologist. The object
of his visit is TO form a stock company
for the purpose Of working the mine.
Prof. Henry has examined several speoi-
mems OF the ore, and finds that there are
evidences OF metals which he did not
know existed in this section. He refused
TO state the exact per cent. OF silver or
gold found In the ore, but says they are
sufficient to warrant the formation of a
company. The company will start with
capital Of 100000, and sink a shaft.
The capital will be Increased to 81, ,000, 900
If the deposit warrants 1t. The ledge is
much larger than at fret supposed, and
all the land adjacent to the mine will be
purchased IL possible.
