OUR NAVY.
1t Should Be Strong Enough to Stand
All Exigencies.

Washington, April 1S.-The present
and prospective naval strength of the
United States, in comparison with that
of foreign powers is set forth in the
report of the house committee on naval
affairs, presented today by Chairman
Cummings. The report states that
the committee has recently concluded
roe to recommend the construction of q
new battleship, because Of the depleted
condition of the treasury. 1t is urged,
however, that there must be no halt in
building up the navy. England pro-
poses, says the report, to begin seven
battleships of the first class, six cruis-
ers of the second class and two sloops.
italy, with a depleted treasury, Is pre-
raring to build three first-class battle
ships, three cruisers, IL torpedo boats
and four transports. Germany, France
and Russia are going to even greater
lengths to secure the increase OF their
navies. The report further says I'm
view of this fact It certainly would not
be safe for the United States to build
no more battleships With increasing
prosperity work should go on till the
American navy is strong enough to
stand all exigencies" The slight in
crease proposed by the committee will
certainly not burden the country with
taxation during the coming year, and
with renewed prosperity the work can
be continued in the future without over
burdening the nation. The total loss Of
the Kearsarge leaves the Hartford, Ad-
miral Farraguts flagship. the only YES
sci in the new navy, aside from the
frigate Constitution. around which his
torical memories cluster. The commit
tee, in accordance with the wishes Of
the navy department, have recommend
ed liberal appropriations for her preser-
walton, believing that public sentiment
demands It, The committee have
brought into the bill clause providing
for the naturalization of alien sailors
and marines who have served on ves-
