Secretary OF War Grant on the subject:
"Within the last few days much has
been said about the powerful navy
and tho heavy guns of . European
nation, aud tear has been expressed
that such heavy armament might
enter the hsrbor of some Of our larges
cities. Let them come in II they

has tho work Of destruction been
planned aud carried out that within .
surprisingly short time there can be
placed beneath the water surface an
indefinite number Of destructive ex-
plosives and those can be SO arranged
that vessels may pass over them un.
harmed and arrange themselves IN
line of battle ready for attack, and
then by simple touch on the shore
there will come instantaneous ex.
plosions al along the line, sufficient
to destroy in an instant OF time the
largest feet that could find room 10

HEARST'S ENTERPRISE.
A New Claim Bureau Established II
the Seat OF Government.

The San Francisco Examiner has
established in Washington, D. c.,
bureau to be called "Exa,nincr
Bureau Of Claims" which will be Of
great benefit to all persons having
claims against the Government OF any
nature or description whatsoever.
The pension fees chargesble by at
t'rn-ys have for some time been
limited by law, and under the recent
act Of March 3. 1891, transferring the
jurisdiction of indian Depreciation
cases from the Interior Department, to
the Court Of Claims, Congress not
only limited the fees, bu, in order to
check the rapaci,y Of the claim agents
cancelled all existing contracts and
fee agreements between client aud
attorney. Congress WAS led to take
this action on account Of facts brought
to their notice that by a combination
among the leading claim agents q
range of fees from 3334 to SO per cent
had been established. The vast mass
of government claims are still un>
protected by law.
William r. Hearst, son of the late
Senator Hearst, aud the proprietor Of
the Examiner, proposes to attend
through his new bureau TO all classes
Of cases before the departments
pensions, patents, depreciation claims
and Indian clnlms-for small per-
centsge above the sctual cost Of the
work.
He has engaged several competent
attorneys and the necessary clerical
force Of large bureau, and they will
soon be =, work. He has placed ut
the head Of the bureau Mr.. John
Wedderburn of this city, who has
long been the correspondent Of the
Examiner, aud had = remarkable ex-
peri+nce = few years ago in f-rr-tine
out for Secretary Tracy some Q i9antic
contract frauds at tho Mare Island
Navy Yard The new bureau, being
established by = responsible news
paper, has slre ady received the cordial
endorsement OF many Western m.m
hers OF Congress, and is getting a big
pile Of mail from all sections Of the
