Some of the Administration papers
take exception to Hon. John l.. stevens
suggestion that Mr.. Blount is neophyte
in diplomacy and claim that Mr.. Blount' :
service in the foreign affairs committee
in the House of Representatives during
his brief Congressional career fitted him
thoroughly for the Hawaiian business,
making him superior to Mr.. Stevens
in this line of business, whom they are
pleased to sncer at and call a ''down
east diplomat" Mr.. Stevens has had
wide experience in the representation of
the L. 5. government in foreign coun-
tries and has always served with credit
and success. He was for three years
minister to Paraguay and Uruguay and
six years to Sweden. prior to his APP
pointment to llaw.lii. Thirteen years Of
actual service surely shoul count for
something, especially to a man who is Il
student OF history and political affairs
of no mean attachments.

Secretary of the Navy Herbert says
we stand No. among the Nations of the
earth in the strength of our Navy.
Within the past year nine naval vessels
have been launched, While six have been
completed and commissioned. The
speed in most eases he says is in eX-
cess of the requirements. The total
number of war vessels nov in the navy
is IL, fifteen of which are armored. In
addition there are Ga vessels on the list,
mostly cruisers, tugs and antiquated
monitors unseI viccable for war pur-
poses, The sum of S25, 900, 1872 has been
expended in building var vessels since
March 1885, on completed vessels. and
SIG, 70l ,05G on vessels in process of COLI
struction. The Secretary says we have
armored cruisers enough now, but need
more first-class battle-ships and he recon-
mends the construction of ut least !
battle-ship and six torpedo boats be au-
thorized by this Congress. He also
recommends the increase of enlisted men
and boys of tie navy by 1000. The
estimates for the next fiscal year ag-
gregate S27 SSS,9l4, more thar five mil
lion dollars above the appropriations for
last year
