ORR NAVY.


In recent lecture before the D)rehesteF,
Mass, Yacht Club, Lieutenant Solely, U.
:. y, gave the clearest statement oil the
condition aud needs of our alleged navy
that has been publicly made for some time
There has been more or less intelligent dts
cuSsiOn Of the matter since the sdminlstrs-
ton Of President Cleveland has taken hold
Of it so earnestly, but few understand just
how far behind the times the United
States IS in respect to her navy.
No Que doubts that the ships Which up
70 year or two ago constituted al the
navy we possessed are practically worth
less, either for defence o, attack, but il is
difficult for one who has no real acqIsin;-
anee with the history Of naval warfare to
realize how rapidly within the past few
years the old methods have been Snpsrse-
ded by new.
Lieutenant SCLEY recognizes the merits
of both types of vessels. Such ships as
the Kearsage and Hartford were built, "
as be says
OF wood AID for broadside 6ghli0g, carried
no guns for end-on fighting. were fitted
with full sail power and had fair sleaming
capacity. They were comfortable, good
. sea boats, and graceful to the sailors eye.
Bat the changed conditions Of warfare
first called for greater speed and end-on
FIRE, greater strength to stand the rsekiDg
of the machinery, lighter materials for con-
struetiOn 10 admit Of greater weight OF
battery and . combustion Of the tuTret
principle with that of the ordinary cruiser,
while full steamiDg power Involved the
abandonment Of sails.
With these changed conditions rCcOg-
nized by other nations. il was inevitable
that our own should have been left far be-
hind during the years of sxtrAvsg'nt in-
activity which preceded the advent Of
the present administration. 1t is, there
fore, as Lieutenant Solely saya, % mat
ter Of eOngratulatiOn" that the needs
OF our navy have at lsst been
recognized, and that an intslligent
attempt Is being made 10 SUP
ply them. The achievements Of the
navy IN FORMER years are so fAmilisr y sc
