sealers by sham formalities Of capture and
not to exact the usual penalties. America
appears to think that this course will ap-
pease the Alaska company and please the
Irish electors and yet not provoke British
reprisals. But she has no right to play a
game OF bounce with weapons Of illegal
capture and search. Unless England takes
some active steps, America will be perfect
ly content with an interchange Of views till
doomsday. Americans will not find us I'M

refusing TO discuss any settlement, our only
course Is to take vigorous steps to ensure

Why Uncle Sam Couldn't Get the
Ships at His Price.

WASHINGTON, August 23.-There is at
least an authoritative statement of the rea-
sons why the government has not received
satisfactory bids fer the construction of the
new cruisers. Naval Constructor Hichborn,
who Is chief OF the construction corps, re-
CARDS the failure to secure suitable bids as
an indication that the contractors are profit
ing by their experience, and calls attention
to the fact that nearly all of the vessels now
building are under heavy penalties for de-
layed construction. He says that the Navy
Department was not consulted by Congress
when the appropriations were made for the
vessels. The committees prescribed not on
iy the cost, but the speed or horse power and
tonnage of all of the ships. To realize these
conditions the officers of the department
who designed the vessels had been compelled
to draw up plans for vessels which could not
be built for the money appropriated, as work
OF high grade was required, and it was ex-
pected that our naval vessels would be the
best Of their type in the world.
A Relic OF Piracy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The Navy De-
partment has received a repert from Com
mander Kellogg, commanding the United
States Steamship Ossipee, describing the
rescue of the two sailors from Arenas Key,
Yucatan, who were abandoned by the
schooner Anna, together with mate, who
died before he could be reached. Acting
Secretary Walker, after reading the report,
referred it to the Judge Advocate General Of
the Navy, with instructions to look at the
legal aspects Of the case. It'll undoubtedly
TACT that Captain Kellogg recommends
legal action against the master of the
schooner Anna. The report viii be sent
over to the Department Of Justice tomorrow,
presumably with a request to prosecute.
There has been considerable indignation
expressed by naval officers over. this case,
q nDa haf "a boc thof
a number of sailors were abandoned from
this same schooner several years ago. In
that case it is likely to go hard with her
master, for this act of abandonment which,
in piratical days was known as ''marooning,"
is regarded as ono of the worst acts in tho
category of naval sin.
