Administration Of President Harrison, IL Is GER
tainly true that his Navy Department has I'M
nrovod It's chances 10 the full and that 1t ala
not begin It's labors by deliberately undertaking
to DESTROY its greatest shpbuilding plant.
4 comparative record of the work done by
tho three Administrations that have been en-
GOOD in the construction shows that under
President Arthur tonnage of 1868 tons was
actually worked upon; under Mt Cleveiahu,
The tonnage worked upon amounted to 69,l9'
tons and under General Harrison THIS tonnage
was nearly trebled and the work done was
upon 1886 tons. Nineteen vessels OF inc
new Navy have been put into commission Dy
Secretary Tracy, with an aggregate tonnage OF
54S32 tons, and eighteen other vessels, WIN
an aggregate tonnage Of 93,491 tons are now
md or construction, including three great battle
sbns This fleet, when completed, will mount
276 guns and will comprehend fighting force
Which. while still altogether inferior to that
of any other frst-class Power, is by no
means contemplate The important work &C
compGshed by the Department during the last
four years in the line OF construction is Dest

secretary Tracy devotes much space in his
report 10 the development of armor-pates,
rand firing guns, high explosives and smoke
less powder. These are subjects OF much pup
lie interest and his account of what has been
ACCOMPLISHED, expressed in language free from
technicalties, is extremely interesting. Inc
story of the discovery of the most approved
armor, tho Harveyed nickel plate, is almost
romantic. America ingenuity has seldom ex-
erted itself with results so thoroughly and
ouicklv satisfactory. The nickel-plate armor
subjected to the Harvey hardening process has
suppled to naval construction sheathing
tough throughout with natural surface OF
extreme hardness and, subjected to the most
terrible attack it has not broken nor has its
surface peeled off. Scarcely less important
are tho improved processes applied here TO the
manufacture of guns and projeoHles Inc
making of explosives and torpedoes has be-
come thoroughly understood, and Is going for
ward with every fair result that could be asked.
The Secretary holds firmly to the recon-
mendations he made last year which contem-
plate the building Of at least sixty more vessels
within a period of time as little extended as
NAV be. He urges that we should possess
feet of at least hundred effective modern ships
and that these should include at least sixteen
batte-ships He urges that the armored and
unarmored cruisers to be built should be only
of the highest class and that small fleet OF
torpedo-boats has become necessity. 1t Is
beyond all doubt that the country is desirouS
of rendering its new Navy fully sufficient to
uphold its dignity and authority as first
class maritime Power.

SECRETfRY TRACY'S REPORT.

Secretary Tracy's report of the operations
of the Navy Department contains record Of
achievement Of which the country has every
right to feel proud. The new warshipS Of the
United Stats are neither as big nor AZ numer-
Gus as those Of England France or Italy, but
L NAV be fairly claimed that of their class they
are ali excellent and in some cases unequallcd
and that the science Of naval development
whether in the construction Of vessels or in the
manufacture OF guns, armor, shells, high cX-
plosives or smOkecsS powder, has made prog
reSS in this country more advanced than any
where else in the world. We are able to-day
TO build a stancher faster vessel, 10 bolt a
harder, tougher armOr on it, to equip it with
moIe capable guns, more destructive shells and
explosives more trustworthy in use and more
fearful in effect than is any other maritime
Power. These facts have been proved by
tests repeated and Of the most severe deScrip-
ton, and the surest proof Of all is given by
the efforts our rivals are making to adopt the
new methods we have invented and brought 10
such great efficiency. If it be fact thai
earlier Administrations had a much smaller
opportunity to do Distinguishing work than the

The Crisp incident bids fair to assume iaTee
PROPORTIONS. 1t appears that the speaker OF 'he
House thought he was justified from inc terms
of the Reform Clubs invitation in beheVine
that he would be asked to speak. Accordingly
he PREF AIRED some remarks in advance, ana even
gave copy of them to the press. Nevenhe-
less at the dinner on Saturday night he was
completely ignored in this respect; altnouen ne
was compelled to sit still and grind his teeth
while criticisms upon the present organization
of the House, for which he is responsible, were
freely made. Mr. Crisp shook the dust OF New
York from his feet early yesterday morning
and returned to Washington. His friends there
are naturally much incensed at the treatment
no received here and there can be no doubt
that this episode will have significant bearing
unon the contest for the Speakcrship OF the
next House If the Administration that IS 10
be should take a direct hand in it, it would be
= pretty fight indeed. Mr.. Crisp's qualified eX-
planation made Yesterday is too plainly ex post
facto 10 be effective.

that the number of railway employees in the

the previous year that the capitalization of the
