United States the strongest Power.
New YORK. March Especial. The
Tribune's Washington correspondent says:
The American navy has reached what il called
. middle point In it, development To COM
plete it and put it upon the footing of
hrst-cla0 power would require the
expenditure Of about $65.00o,o00 more
Thus far the government has either
expended or authorized to be expended &70,0Oo-
00o This represents the round sum Of $l35, 000,
600 for q complete navy Interest on this amount
al ~ per cent, practically the interest paid
government loans, represents the cost TO this
country OF this most valuable kind OF insurance
The amount is small In comparison with the
security given
Il asked Secretary Tracy last night TO give me
his idea Of bow many more ships were needed
than we now have TO complete what he wonid
call a sufficient navy fer all practical needs. He
said that be would add from six 10 nine more
bstileships, each OF 1n,0o tons. These would
cost 8 100000 each This IS AZ cheap ~ they
can be built in England, (which would
amount 10 at least $35.oeD.000 He would add
from four to six harbor defense vessels, costing
each $3.50. 90. and twelve torpedo boats, each
costing &135,ooa This would make the navy
superior To any nation, not excepting Eng
land, in roint Of availability and
pracrical qualities. We have today
already completed and authorized forty-one
warships- These are ali vessels OF the modern
class and viii be well armed. Tweuty-three
ships in al are now being built and are to be
turned out within the next two years.

information from the Chinese custom clerk
Of the killing Of two men BY rioters. Mar

from Chinese gunbosts, and found the body
Of Missionary Argent lying where be fell in
the gateway al the door Of the church,
which had been piIlaged by rioters. The
body OF Customs Officer Green was found
lying in the street several squares distant
The BODY had been covered BY mats. Mar

inquest had not been held He attended
the iDques, next morning and describe the
peculiar methods Of Chinese officials in such
matters, the inquest being devoted chiefly TO
the beating Of drums, explosion Of fire
crackers and other ceremonies.
The cause Of the riot be stated. was the
fact that Missionary Argent had picked up
four little orphans in the country and was
conveying them to Hangkow in the usual
fashion-in baskets borne on the shoulders
Of coolies. A street lounger asked one Of
the coolies what was in the basket. The
bearer refusing TO answer, the fellow raised
the lid disclosing the children The crowd
which had gathered raised a CRY that the
missionary was taking the children sway to
dig their eyes out. and for this attacked the
church, killing Argent and plundering the
place. Customs Oficer Green was met by
the mob and killed while on bis way to as
sist the wives Of the missionaries.
On the return Of the PAlos from Wusich 70

Forests Laid Waste.

MoRsASTowS, W. VA, July 23.-The
West Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station al this place has just issued a bulle-
tin in report on the black spruce forests Of
the State. These forests exceed 5000
acres, and cover 500 square miles Of terri
tory. The document deals especially with
the terrible destruction Of late inflicted by
insscts The report states that the first Il
dicatious the entymologist, Prof A. d. Hop
kins. noticed Of the ravsges were in Ran
ss.i--I ----a- ----st 49, .---- - ~
that county twice for the purpose Of inyes-
tigating the queer disease that was killing
thousands Of iress on the Cheat Mountains
In Tucker county, also. great numbers Of
the dead spruce were noticed. bat the spec
tacle presented by the formerly magnificent
sides Of the Cheat Mountains vas some;hing
remarkable. Thousands upon thousands
acres Of what was once valuable and hand
some timber now stands dry withered
and dreary waste. Some IS 90 acres Of this
land we're leased to the Cheat Mountain
SPorismen's Cinb, and the decay has SET in
right in the midst Of their reservation One
Of the dead trees, at height Of 4,3l0 feet
above the sea, was al once attacked with
hatchet, and the fzt stroke that laid the
bark open showed distinct traces Of insect
life. The insects were found 10 be the de-
siruetiFe scolytid.e, bark and timber beetles,
which are known to have caused such great
destruction to the timber Of France, Ger
many and Canada, and which are now
thought to have laid so many thousand acres
waste here.
Years ago this dark. dismal section was
named Shades Of Death, and to-day its
appearance makes the name seem prophetic.
A small tree, about eight inches in diameter,
not quite dead, was next carefully exanin-
ed, when hundreds of insects were found to
have mined through the bark from every
side and into the wood, thus checking the
flow Of sap and ultimately killing the tree.
This had been going on for the past .hTee
years, but had lately waned. and trees in
some places seemed to be recovering their
original health.
The entymologist was amazei to unex-
pectedly find the cause Of the stoppsge Of
the insects work Of destruction in the very
frst young tree encountered. Hundreds Of
small gnats were noticed lowering over the
trees attacked, and these very. same gnats
were found IN the mines in the bark made
by the bOrers. The gnats were preying on
the bOrers, and undoubtedly this wise pro-
vision Of nature in increasing the number Of
gnats viii delay. ifnOt entirely stop, the
killing Of the spruce. The gnats, OF para
sites of the scolytidse, were captured in great
numbers and are being carefully propogated,
Mr.. Hopkins stating that there is no doubt
they can be successfully prOpogated and in
irodneed into infected districts.
The value Of the dead trees Is estimated at
the very lowest as 81 500 .Oo0, and every effort
viii be made. both by natural and artifeiaI
means, TO prevent the spread Of the disease.
