CONDEMNED BY CROOK.
There is No Necessity for a Navy
Yard Near Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-The proposition
of Congressman Thomas to advocate in
congress the establishment of a navy
yard on Lake Calumet, near Chicago.
was much talked of here to-day. A de-
cided view in opposition to the general
sentiment was taken by Maj. Gen.
Crook, commander of the military di-
vision of the Missouri, whose headquar-
tiers are in this city. 1.-The need for
such station, think, does not exist"
said he 1T would be very nice thing
for Chicago, but there is no occasion
for it. In the first place, there would
be no particular danger to lake
ports in the event of war with En-
gland. Only one war vessel from
each nation is allowed on the lakes.
The fact that in case of war England
would command the st. Lawrence cuts
no figure. We command the Welland
canal, and England could bring no war
ships to the lakes. We could destroy
them as fast as they came, and the canal,
too. for that matter. So a navy yard
here is not at all necessary, while the
defenseless condition of our coasts is
acknowledged. We must have coast de-
lenses, and this is the important matter
now before us. think the means of
our best protection is in the new dyna-
mite gun. My idea would he to perfect
this weapon, then establish stations all
down both coasts. building them under
ground, so that an enemy would have
nothing to shoot at
