BATTLE SHIPS FOR THE NAVY.

The House Committee on Naval Affairs in
directly presents strong argument III favor OF
the building Of attlcshipS. 1t shows that the
construction Of the cruisers has introduced an
important series Of naval industries. The YES
sells which have been added 10 the fleet have
not been built with imported materials nor
armed with European ordnance The cruisers
are American ships in all details Of armament
and construction. Not only has the navy been
strengthened by the addition Of these com
mcrcc- dcStrOycrS but also the plant and ma
chnery requisite for DEMONSTRATING various in
dustrics connected with modern shipbuilding
have been supplied. In a sudden emergency
cruisers of the highest speed armed with power
full guns can now be built rapidly and sue
ccssfully. This could not have been done if
there had been an urgent necessity for the
immediate development Of the Nations naval
resources seven years ago. The art OF build
ing cruisers has been acquired since 1888 but
c-Ships and coast defence vessels of the
highest efficiency have not been built 4 new
series of industries needs to be introduced be-
fore the country will be enabled in the event
of the outbreak of war to defend its coasts and
10 develop its naval resources in the shortest
possible time The construction Of battle
ships must be seriously undertaken before any
marked progress can be made in the highest
branches Of naval architecture.
The bill reported by the House Committee
is in accord with the general recommendations
Of Secretary Tracy. but is less portcntous
measure than the Hale bill. 1t proposes the
construction of "A smaller number Of battle
ships designed to have the heaviest armor and
the rcSt powerful ordnance. There may be
room for differences Of opinion respecting the

No fault is TO be found with the personnel
of the partisan RapidTransit Commission
named by Mayor Grant, but the purpose of its
appointment at this juncure is obscure. The
question of rapid transit is pending at Albany
and has been the subject of serious and thought
full study The Mayors commission is APP
pointed under the law Of 1875, and the petit
ton requesting the Mayor to act is said to
have originated in the Real Estate Exchange
1t does not seem unlikely that the existence of
this commission may be convenient thing
for Governor Hill when the question Of APP
proving or vetoing the Fassett Rapid-Transit
bill is presented to him.

The question of the age of the NcwYork Meth
odist Conference was under discussion n year
neo and was referred TO a committee for deter
mination The point At issue was whether the
body was then cshiy-ninc or 100 years old.
II seems an extraordinary question, but the
early records are imperfect and confusing. The
committee reported last week that the Confer
cncc had its birth in 500. and is therefore ten
years short of completing century This con
cusion was not satisfactory TO minority, who
rcsolntcly contend that the Conference was or

can hardly be considered finally settled though

EX-SECRETARY McCULLOCH.
Reports Of His Illness
What the Doctors Say.

1t now appears tina. the reports Of the failing
health of Hon. Hugh McCulloch, ex-Secretary
Of the Treasury, have been greatly exag-
gerated, and that he is by no means as ill as
has been reported. Mr.. McCulloch has been a
sufferer from hay fever for a number of years,
but recently it has developed into an asthmatic
trouble that was by no means serious, how
ever.
As a result of treating himself for this during
the early part of the week his stomach got
somewhat out of order, and Dr. n s. Lincoln
was called in consultation with DIR. Stone the
attending physician, and found Mr.. McCulloch
only slightly indisposed He was quite able TO
be around the house and his condition was not
such as TO cause any ALARM
STAR reporter called on DIR. Lincoln this
afternoon and, In answer to his question about
Mr.. McCulloch's health. DIR. Lincoln said: II
know nothing about it further than that he is
not very well. was called out to his country
home Tuesday with reference to getting Mr..
McCulloch to 20 away to some summer resort.
He certainly was not seriously ill then. Last
night heard indirectly that he was worse
and I at onco communicated with DIR.
Stone, who told me that such was not the case
On tho contrary, he had not even thought il
necessary to call ON Mr.. McCulloch since Tues
day. Mr.. McCulloch has not had a sign of
quinsy and If he has had any hemorrhages
have not heard of it, a. certainly would il
such were the case"

Stock Which Ensiishmen Quarreled
Over to be Placed In America.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 10.-All the ESQ.,
COO 600 of stock OF the American Gas Invest
nient Company. one-half of which was to have
been placed in England and the remainder in
this country, will now be disposed of i'll the
United States. The reason for the change in
the placing Of the stock is said to be due to
the jealous chickering's of two factions in Lon
don. each of which sought to control the stock
allotted to the English capitalists.
Sir Julian Goldsmid OF London was at the
head of affairs i'll London and had organized
the United States Gas and Light Company,
limited, Tor the purpose Of subscribing for the
$4,000. 900 of stock.
The Farquar-Cr.sp party wanted 10 he re-
sponsible for the stock and Jealousy caused the
scheme to drop through. All the directors of
the English company have resigned and now
the stock will be placed here.
The leading projectors OF tho company all
wcll-known capitalists OF this city. who had al
ready subscribed heavily, held a conference
and all agreed to double their subscriptions.
One banking firm. which had agreed to take
5000. promised to take double that amount.
and 1t Is thought that within few days the
total amount Of the English allotment
S25, 900, 000-will be taken.
