The object of the union is declared to be

PARIS, Dec. 12..-Another scene of ex

His Report Strongly Urges the Necessity
of Extra Coast Defenses.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The report of
G. b. Morton, commissioner Of navigation,
for 1888, shows the total tonnage of the
country, required to be included in his
statistics are 4,191 ,9l5 tons, and that our
merchant marine is second to that of
Great Britain. Since last year there had
been q material in vessels in the coast
wise trade. There is little reason to hope,
he says. for any considerable increase in
foreign tonnage while the laws remain as
at present. Vessels built in the United
States last year amounted to 218, ,6O6 tons,
this amount representing 67,673 tons
more than the tonnage constructed the
previous year. Thirty-eight per cent Of
the tonnage was built on the Atlantic sea-
board, 10 per cent on the Pacific coast, 46
per cent on the Northern lakes, and per
cent on Western rivers. The iron and
steel vessels built amounted to 36, III 8 tons.
AZ to the establishment of naval revenue
the commissioner expresses himself as in
favor of the measure, remarking that in
case of war with only the defensive means
now In existence, we would be at The
mercy Of weak nations, like even those of
South America.

JUDGE KELLEY.
II II Ssi1 He will not Abide by His Par
ty's Caucus Action.

1t II ssid He Will not Abide by His Par
ty's Caucus Action.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--Democrats are
not wanting in Washington who still hope
that their party will capture the organi-
zation Of the house either by sneak-thiev.
cry or burglary, or both combined, and
attempts to accomplish that object have
been by NO means abandoned. The most
recent developments in West Virginia and
Tennessee have greatly encouraged the
men who are the active instruments and
promoters Of the conspiracy.
ut depends upon one vote" gays the
democratic clerk OF the house, and simul-
taneously with that declaration it is yhis-
pered that Bacon, democrat, instead Of
Stivers, republican, will appear with q
demand seat in the house. Some demo-
Gratis still assert, also, that Coleman of the
Second Louisiana district, will refuse to
enter the republican caucus or vote for the
republican candidate for speaker. Per-
sonsl friends of Mr.. Coleman here in
Washington denounce the statement as
unfounded.
But the most remarkable assertion of all
is made in private letters recently re-
ceived here from Philadelphia. II is in
effect that William d. Kelley will refuse
to enter the republican caucus or abide by
its action unless he receives satisfactory
assurances that he will be appointed
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee. In support Of this assertion the
fact is recalled that Mr.. Kelley has twice
b0lted the republican caucus nomination
for speaker. In the forty-ffth congress
General Garfield was the nominee, but
Judge Kelley sat mute when his name
was called and did not vote. In the
forty-sixth congress General Garfield was
again the caucus nominee. and Judge
Kelley voted with the greenbackers for
Hendrick b. Wright Of Pennsylvania.
From these premises it is argued that he
will pursue similar course upon
the question of organization in the next
house unless his wishes as to the chair.
manship OF ways and means are gratifed
in advance. There is not much danger,
however. that Judge Kelley will bolt the
nomination II his vote is necessary to elect
a republican speaker. In the forty-fifth
congress and ia the forty-sixth congress,
also, the republican nomination was mere
ly complimentary one and Judge Kelley
disagreed with General Garfield on some
important questions. Neither Judge Kelley
nor any other republican member Of
the ffty-first congress could afford to take
the position which the former is alleged
it is believed falsely-to occupy.
The work which the republican party
has to do in the nexttwo years is altogeth.
er too important and too urgent to permit
any member of the party in the house to
demand that his personal desires or ambi-
tion shall be gratified as the price Of his
party loyalty.
