THE NAVY.

The report of the Chief Constructor OF
the Navy Department is made public.
It says the United States have at present
four steel cruisers and one steel dispatch
vessel in commission. The Baltimore,
Vesuvius, Petrol and Charleston have
had their trial trips and may be expected
soon to take their places in the cruising
fee..
There are 81 wooden steamers and 7
iron steamers still useful and serviceable.

steel cruisers or gun-boats, 2 dynamite
cruisers. l practice cruiser for CADETS, 1
armored ram, first-class torpedo boat
and 7 iron steamers.
The work Of rebuilding the navy is pre-.
crossing very satisfactory, aud the re-
suits accomplished during the past six
months are sufficient guarantee Ct the
purpose of the department to advance
with the utmost rapidity, and of it's en-
ergy and success in the performance Of
the task. During this time one armored
coast defense vessel has been contracted
for, three cruisers of 1900 tons dsplace-
ment are now under advertisement, two

NE ADMINIsrxATloN AND sILvLR

Secretary Window says the report
Autographed from Washington purporting
50 give the features of his recommends
sion on the silver question is not correct.
He is not now prepared to state the exact
nature of his plan. but none Of the news
papers have described it. 1t will be en-
bodied in his report to the President and
may not be given to the public until
Congress meets in December. Mean.
time it 10 rumored that Harrison will
veto any bill for the free coinage or re-
monetization of silver that Congress may
pass. He is not bound by the platform
ON which he was elected. as the clause
relating to gold and silver in that decla-
ration of principles amounts to nothing
and was shaped to suit the gold bugs and
the traditions of his party are against
rather than in favor of silver. A Repub.
loan Senate and House of Representa-
tives passed the demonstration act in
1873 ard Republican President signed
IL. Blaine, who is the acknowledged
High Priest of Republicanism, voted
against the Standard Dollar Act in 1873,
and Hayes, who. by virtue Of . compact
between Southern Brigadiers and North
srn pap. suckers, occupied the Presidency
to which another had been elected,
vetoed the bill.
While it is fact that President Cleve.
land was a. much of gold-bug a. Blaine
il is also true that large majority of the
Democratic Representatives. in Congress
have been friends of silver, while the
the reverse is true of the Republicans, a
small minority of whom in Congress
favored legislation to right the wrong of
1873.
Under such circumstances, President
Harrison, will'not violate principle or
tradition OF his party by vetoing bill
for the reconciliation of silver, should
Congress pass such q measure.

Perpetuating an Incident.

AS Mile. Rhea was leaving Ottawa,
Canada, an old, white haired gentleman
approached her in the sleeping car, and,
with charming cordiality, presented her
with basket of the most beautiful
grapes, in the top Of which was large
bunch of Marechal Neil roses and the
following note: "Dear Madame Rhea-
When the first Napoleon was brought as
captive into Plymouth sound by Capt.
Maitland, of the Bellerophon, was born
July, 1916. My father, who had ex-
tensive hot houses, sent to Napoleon a
basket of the finest hot house grapes. In
seeing you in the role of Josephine
thought I would ask your acceptance lin
your character as empress of the French)
of basket of the same fruit, thus per
petuating the incident and paying a
tribute to the empress in the person of
one who SO ably represents her. With
best wishes and regrets, dear madame,
yours very truly, Richard Nettle, Ottawa,
Oct. 10, 1885," And the old gentleman
added: Although my countrymen called
Napoleon a rascal, my father had the
greatest admiration for him. .'-Ex-

Interesting Engineering Feat.

The method Of constructing the founda-
tions Of the great drawbridge over the
Thames at New London is of exceptional
interest Timber curbs were constructed,
which were sunk eighty feet into the
bed Of the river, the bottom of which
was soft mud for this depth. The mud
inside the curb was excavated, and the
piles driven into the solid ground then
obtained. The heads Of these piles were
then bound together with concrete, on
which the masonry of the pier was finally
erected.

the secret, Els voice is rather higher
than one would expect from a man Of
his type, but it is not unpleasant in its
pitch. Mckinley is not particularly de-
monstrative in his address, but conveys
all impression Of reserved force"
Mckinley is still quite young for a
man who aspires to the speakership, be-
ing not yet 46 years old. He went into
the military service at II, coming out
brevet major at p. He differs from
most Of his competitors in his dignity
and reserve. He is not a frequent
speaker, but when he speaks he produces
powerful effect. He won his present
position with his party by his skillful
handling of the tariff question. His
great dignity is largely in his favor,
since if there is any one trait becoming

Another candidate belongs to that

His personal appearance has been thus
described: "His face in repose suggests
at once Tom Keene and Daniel Webster.
The profile is clear in its cutting, like
Keenes. and the dark eyes are seen in
the shadow that is SO cavernous in the
portraits of Black Dam There is little
color in McI<inley's face, and that white
complexion contrasting with the shade

Burrows is hearty enough toward those

strangers he is dignified. He is one of
the soldiers of the house.

Among the candidates is the one legged
soldier, Gen. David B. Henderson. He
is Scotchman by birth, and that sturdy
race are not prone to give things up
with over readiness. Indeed, this trait

Being pressed by some of his immedi-
ate neighbors to state the object Of his
sympathy, he quietly observed, with in
imitable drollery and malicious twinkle
in his eye: ....

cent proportions Of that robust thorax,
and thinking how sad it was that heaven
had not made any mind to supplement
and bear it company"
Reeds tribute to Logan while Gen.
Logan was still alive is on par with
this:

SO damned human"
Reed is high protectionist to the
point of rabidness. The late Larry
Jerome took advantage of his knowledge
of this fact to perpetrate one of his prac-
tical jokes at the annual dinner of the
Philadelphia Glover club two years ago.
Jerome, although himself protectionist
and although politics is never discussed
at the clubs board, when introduced
made a violent free trade speech in the
most serious manner. Reed could not
contain himself. Springing to his feet
he loudly denounced the utterances. The
company laughed, and when the situa-
ton was quietly explained to the elo-
quent congressman he only gesticulated
more wildly and shouted: "Not even
under the guise of the motley will hear
the sacred doctrine Of protection attack
ed" Then the club shouted. 1t was
one hour before Reed regained his good
humor.
Among the rivals of the Maine man is
the diplomatic Julius Caesar Burrows.
He is a blonde, handsome man, with

is no orator as Brutus is; or, rather, Tom
Reed; he has the subtle persuasive charm
Of Mark Antony. It is not often that

REED, M'KINLEY, BURROWS, CANNON,
HENDERSON AND BuTTERWORTH.

Some Points of Interest About Six Con-
gressmen Who Are Already Prominent,
and One of Whom VIII Probably Win
the Big Prize.
There is marshaling of followers Of
the candidates for speaker of the United
States house of representatives The
battalions of Reed Burrows, Cannon,
Butterworth, Henderson, Mckinley and
others who have been spoken Of less
prominently, are furnishing up their ac-
coutrements preparatory to inspection
by their chiefs. Will the contest be short,
sharp and decisive, or will it drag along
for weeks2 Since the memorable strug
gle thirtyfour years ago, which re-
suited in the election of N. P. Banks
the people have occasionally looked for
ward to something similar at the ap-
proach Of a balloting for speaker But
until there is division of parties, such
as existed in the ''fifties," it is not likely
that there will be another such pro-
longed deadlock.
In politics the men who are familiarly
called "Joe' or ''Bob' or "Dan," gener-
ally seem to have strength behind
them that their more dignified competi-
tors do not possess. At least, it is of
different kind. .'Tom' Reed is looked
upon as the candidate for the speaker
ship, having, perhaps, the best chance
for winning the race Maine seems to
be as good soil for growing big brainy
men as big pine trees. AT any rate Tom
