THE NEW NAVY.
Easy Enough to Build ships But Hard to
Obtain Heavy Guns.


Obtain Heavy Guns.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-In its report
upon the Naval Appropriation bill the
House Committee on Naval Affairs sum-
marizes the present condition and future
prospects of the navy of this country,
saying: "With regard to a new navy,
Congress seems to have settled upon q
policy of appropriating toward its con-
struction about $4,000, 600 per annum.
Your committee believe that this will
build up navy as fast as prudence die
tates. Our Navy Department and our
ship building are utilizing, as far as may
be, by every means in their power, the
knowledge acquired from the costly ex-
perience of other nations but they must
acquire experience Of their own. Too great
haste on the part of the Government would
inevitably result in confusion and
waste and most probably in combina-
tion instead of competition among ship
builders. Besides it would be an easy
matter in this country to build ships more
rapidly than we could supply them with
armament of domestic manufacture. Even
in England, with all their facilities, there
is. loud complaint that the Government
and all their contractors are unable to sup
ply guns asvthey are wanted. The manu-
facture of a modern high power gun is not
only an expensive but a slow and tedious
process"
The committee says that the appropria-
ton Of 1926, 600 for extending the gun plant
at the Washington navy yard, which has
proved to be insufficient, will, taken in
connection with other aims, be all that is
necessary to put three different navy yards
in condition to build the hulls of the finest
modern vessels, armored and unarmored,
as well as for the complete equipment of
great plant for the assembly of heavy ord
nance. Satisfactory progress is being
made by the private contractors for sup
plying heavy gun and armor plate for
guns and for rapid fire machinery guns.
The committee closes: sit will be seen
that Congress by the passage of the bill
we report will have taken the last step
necessary to render the Government abb
solutely independent of the world in the
matter of the building and equipping
navy. It has been the constant aim of the
committee and of the departments to pro-
vide for ships the best of their classes
guns equal to any in the world. There is
ample competition among bidders for the
construction of engines and machinery,
and in this matter American enterprise
and ingenuity seem likely to lead the
world. To get from vessel of the type
of the Vesuvius a speed of twenty knots
an hour seemed, when Congress made it an
absolute requirement, difficult task, but
it was undertaken and that vessel on its
recent trip showed the wonderful speed of
21. Ga knots.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan 26-The rejection Of

cause one or two Republican States were
behind with their returns. The action was
without any grouu9s of law or sense and

turn, putting it in full legal shape and

GAINESVILLE, Tex Jan. 26-Reports
state that the soldiers sent from Fort Sill
for the purpose of clearing Oklahoma of
boomers have about completed the work
and that the expelled boomers are now en-
camped along the southern boundary of
the territory from which they have just
been driven.
The number of boomers that were en-
camped IN the Oklahoma country prior to
the arrival of the soldiers on Wednesday
is estimated variously at from 5000 to
5000, and some place the number as high
as 1000. They came from all parts of the
country and so confident were some Of
them that they would not be disturbed in
their occupancy Of the country on account
of the probability that the Springer bill
would soon become law, that they went
to work. at once to build for themselves
comfortable homes.
The expelled boomers are many of them
in poor circumstances, but they are re-
ported to be quite cheerful and bear pa
tiently their vexations and disappoint-
ments in the hope that the days are num-
bered till they will be allowed to enter
again and enjoy in peace the coveted land.
Some of the expelled boomers now en-
camped near Purcell have threatened to
re-enter Oklahoma as soon as the soldiers
have left, but they will probably not have
the opportunity soon TO carry this threat
into execution, for the soldiers are now
guarding the southern boundary of Okla
homa, and will continue to do so for some
time. 1t is also reported that United
States soldiers are also guarding the
northern boundary to keep back the boom
ers that would otherwise come on that
side

The Usual Weekly Review of the state oi
Trade in the Country.


NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-R- G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: ''The state
of trade is unusually perplexing for, with
general complaint of the dullness there
are evidences that the volume of trans
actions is large. The payments through
banks last week were 25 per cent larger
than for the corresponding week last year
at New York and Is per cent. larger at ali
other cities. Railroad earnings also show
that traffic Is large. The demand for
money is sufficiently active at nearly all
interior points, moreover, TO indicate that
large business is in progress. Yet it is
undeniable that the prevailing temper is
one of disappointment at the result of
business since the new year began, and
this is not wholly explained by the steadily
declining prices of products. AT Southern
points, after some depression, trade ap-
pears TO be improving. In the Northwest,
trade is fully equal to that of last
year, and at the same points clearly
larger. The supply of money seems to be
everywhere ample Tor legitimate demand
There are no indications of general un-
soundness or over -straining of commercial
credits. In the great iron industry con-
sumption for. all other than railroad pur-
poses appears to be larger than ever; but
there is serious disturbance. In conse-
quence the Iron Age reports general
weakening which there is no use In blink
ing at" and holds that furnaces which can
not face without loss a decline of
fully 81 from present prices may wisely
suspend production. At Western points
Southern iron is offered at prices equiv
alent to $12 at Birmingham, which Is con-.
| sidered equal to $17 for Pennsylvania iron;
| and large sales are reported at prices be-
low published quotations. A decline In
the price of coke is considered probable,
and the anthracite coal market continues
weak.
The decline in wheat continues, the price
having fallen 25S cents for the week. As
the prices reached this week were 93K to
| 93T cents there has been some buying for
export, though not as yet for Great
Britain. Corn has fallen cent and oats
are lower. Pork products have also de-
| clined, mess about 80 cents per barrel;
lard 20 and hogs 10 cents per 100 pounds
Cotton is a shade lower, with sales of 421,
900 bales, and coffee q cents higher, with
sales of 233, 600 bags. The market for cop
per has been dull, and tin is lower at 2lK
cents; lead is also weak at 1880, but
spelter is quoted at cents, There is little
activity in groceries. but the sugar market
favors holders. The general average of
prices has fallen 8 of per cent for the
week. . .rs-
The supply of money here increases
both by remittances from the interior and
| by excess of treasury disbur sements over
receipts, which reached 81. 700, 900 for the
week. The exports of merchandise from
| New York show a gain of IL per cent. for
| three weeks. The stock market is never
! theless so firmly sustained that the aver
| age decline in prices has been only 60 cents
| per 500 for the week.
