shall We Have a New Kearsarge9

The project OF perpetuatinR the fame Of
the Kearsarge in the navy, and thereby tes-
tifying to the gratitude OF the people for
her exploits. merits the consideration Of
Congress. 1t Is proposed to build a new
battle ship better than any We have now.
and TO christen 1t with the name OF the old
wooden corvette.
Such repetition would have precedents
Many OF our war vessels carry names IA
millar in the navy generations ago. The
Philadelphia. for example. had a prede-
cessor which was wrecked of TripOli early
In the century. There have been several
Bostons. one OF which Was lost In the West
Indies. The Baltimore. the Concord. the
Dolphin. and the Yorktown all repeat old
names. and the Atlanta was that OF Con-
federate ram captured during the civil war.
and added to the Government forces. IL Is
true that the case is somewhat different
with a vessel named directly In honor OF a
preceding craft. as Is now proposed; but
such an act would be all the more marked.
from being exceptional In that respect.
One objection which might be urged Is
that the battle chips should carry the names

the cases Of the Texas. the Massachusetts,.

Only one Way TO save the Seals.

We printed yesterday an instructive let
ter on the process OF destruction which is
gradually DISCRIMINATING the Alaska fur
soals. In our opinion the facts there stated
show conclusively that little is to be hoped
for from any arrangement that may be
made on the basis OF the decision OF the
Paris Court Of Arbitration.
The diplomacy leading up to that tribu-
nal was badly botched on our side. The
result Of the arbitration was a foregone con-
clusion. Legally. our bad case was pre-
scented with remarkable ability by the
American counsel. What may be termed
the naturallsts part OF the case. that Ia TO
cay. the arguments derived from expert
knowledge OF the life and habits OF the ami
NAL and Of the numerical decrease actually
brought about In various ways. was made
ouately and unsatisfactory presented on
both sides.
Diplomacy goes on In It's slow fashion,
the eminent interpreters Of international
law construct ingenious theories for pur-
poses Of controversy. and the seal is dis
appearing all the same. Neither the points
gained and lost by the diplomatists nor the
mastery agreement Of the lawyers will
count for much after that useful and val
uable animal Is gone.
Tho question of preservation Is one In
which England Is interested almost equally
with ourselves. What goes against US IL
the selfish interest Of the Canadian mAraud-
ers. Our Government can check the greed
OF the American ptiagio hunters. Only
Great Britain can check the Canadian free
shooters. The sympathy and cooperation
OF England. leaving politics and diplomacy
quite out ofsight. are absolutely necessary.
II the determination Of the Alaska fur seal
II TO DO prevented.
II non-partisan. non-political Commits
sion. consisting. let US say. Of competent
naturalist from the British Museum and q
highly credited representative OF some
leading London house In the fur trade. on
the one side. and on the other an American
expert and first-class business man In the
same line. should be sent by the two Gov
srnments TO the Pribylov Islands next sum-
mer. they could easily find out the extent
TO which the destruction has gone. and
agree upon the measures necessary TO stop
It. Their report and recommendations
would DO worth more to both Governments.
and to the world In general. than all the
deliberations OF the Paris Tribunal.
The question Is no longer one OF interna-
tional politics and diplomacy. 1t is ques-
ton Of physical facts and OF plain business
common sense.

but IL Is enough to cay that the present ex-
ception would have an object.
Perhaps also the desire to preserve this
name In the navy might induce Congress
to look more kindly upon the project OF au-
thorizng battle ship at the present ses-
sion. The House Naval Committee. as is
known, has felt itself compelled to refrain
from providing for such a vessel In the
annual appropriation bill. on account OF the
condition Of the Treasury. II the Senate.
however. should consent to amend the bill
by adding a battle ship. to be built and
named in honor OF the Kearsarge. the House
might accept such an amendment. prec-
edent would be afforded In precisely SINH
lar action at the last Congress. where bat
tie ship was provided for under Senate
amendment OF the House bill, aud adopted
through the action of conference commit
tee. There would be all the moro reason
for repeating that course now. As on the
former occasion. also. II would not be neces-
eary to make any immediate appropriation.
since IL would take much time to mako the
plans and award the contract, 80 that an
appropriation next winter would be in
ample season.
II this course should be taken. IL might
we'll be called the browning service rendered
by the old Kearsarge. The need OF more
battle ships and Of providing one OF them
at the present session has been fully set
forth by Secretary HERBERT. Hence the
concession Of such vessel for the sake OF
perpetuating the historic name while the
attention OF the country lie Axed upon the
fate Of the famous old craft would properly
be an incident in her own history.
