Navy 1ard roE Puget Sound.

Senator Mitchell Of Oregon has
called up the joint resolution to ere
ate navy yard for the Pacific North
west. and had it referred to the COM
mittee on naval affairs
The JOINT resolution mnkes it the
duty Of the commission to examine
the coast north of tie forty-second
parallel of north latitude, in Oregon.
Washington and Alaska, and to se-
lect a suitable site, having due re-
gard to the commercial and naval
necessities Of that coast for navy
yard, and make full and detailed
report to congress.
Mr. Mitchell said that while S56,-
100000 had been spent for navy
yards and naval stations, Of which
amount only five per cent. had been
expended west Cf the Alleghaney
mountains, there was only one navy
yard on the Pacific coast, on which
above $3.00J 900 had been expended.
One establishment, now matter how
well equipped. was wholly made
| equate to meet the wants of the coun-
| try on the Pacific ocean. He con-
trasted with the indifferent or crimi-
nal neglect of the United States gov
ernment on the subject of naval es-
tablishments the care given by the
British, French, Russian, italian,
and German governments to the
building mp Of great naval establish-
ments. 1t Is not safe TO set on the
theory that this country could, when
ever occasion arose, provide for it.
The rapid envorenment of the Paci-
fc coast by important military and
naval establishments representing
British influence and British power
and the military occupation by Great
Britain of islands in the Pacific
ocean was of itself a subject which
ought to arrest the attention OF the
American people and prompt the
government TO such speedy and effec-
tive action as should be 4 fitting re
spon5e to this formidable extension
OF British power The whole coun-
try north and we't was, in fact, in
vironed and menaced by Gordon of
British military and navy establish
ments and by lines of British rail-
roads and steamships which. in the
event of war between Great Britain
and the United States, would give
the former immense advantages.
This force could fall with unimpe-
ded and relentless power upon the
people and industries and commerce
of the northwestern Pacific coast,
Oregon, Washington and Alaska.
with their limitless resources, would
become the sport and toy of Great
Britain
Mr.. Dolph said that Puget Sound
possessed all the advantages that
could be found for frst-class naval
station The Importance OF the SUBJ
iect ought not to be underestimate.
His colleagues hadreferred to British
influence in the Hawaiian islands, but
the United States cannot permit these
islands to pass under the control OF
any European people, because their
possession by any modern naval
power would give to that power con-
troll, not only over the Pacific com
merce Of the United States, but also
over its coastwise commerce. We
cannot afford to allow foreign quests
and acquisitions to be carried to our
very doors. If we do we shall abdi-
cate the position Of which our power,
our Independence, our wealth, our
location permits Us to retain among
the nations Of the earth.

In his review of the American iron
trade for the year 1887 General Man
ager James NJ Swank, of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel association, says:
THE year which has just closed was
one Of great activity and fair pros
perity for the iron trade of this coun-
try. Production in ali the leading
branches OF the manufacture OF iron
and steel was the largest in our, his
tory, larger than in The remarkable
year Of 1886, when all previous
achievements were left far behind.
We estimate our production OF pig
iron in 1887 at 6,250,OO0 gross tons.
or about 600,000 tons more than ia
1886. Our production Of Bessemer
steel rails in 1887 was about 1,950.OOC
grosss tons, Or about 375.000 tons
more than in 1856 In addition te
our large production of pig iron in
1887, we also consumed about 500,
Coo tons OF imported steel rails. OuI
production Of iron ore in 1887 was
about Il,000,G00 gross tons, and ouI
imports in the same year amounted
to about 1,25O.G9o tons. In 1885 we
produced al-eut EuGU,gG0 gross tons
of iron ore, and imported 1888, ,46s
