NAVAL NOTES.
Secretary Herbert Says Admiral
Walker Has No Pull"

Secretary Herbert is sensitive of
the constant illusions made 10
what is termed the Walker pull"
and says that Admiral Walker has
never exercised any such pull
with him, nor has he endeavored 10
evade any duty assigned him. 1t
is admitted at the department that
the Admirals orders have been sus-
pended, but for what reason Is not
definitely known, although it has
been freely sal, that the reason
lies in Admiral Walkers objection
TO having Admiral Ramsay, as
head OF the Navigation Bureau,
give orders FOR the guidance Of the
school.
Several of the vessels now on
the Pacific coast are destined for
foreign service, and viii leave i'm
medIately upon being reported
ready. The Yorktown is now IN
der orders TO join the China sta
ton, and Is expected to depart
some time next week. The Ben

DEFENSE READY.
Reply to Any Claim Of Mrs. Dominis
for Damages.

4 special from Washington under
date of October 18th says that Judge
II. A Widemann who IS alleged to
be there as a representative OF ex-
queen Liliuokslsni to lodge claim
against the United States for a sum
in the neighborhood of two million
dollars, is giving the State Depart
ment considerable trouble. That he
and those sympathizing with the ex-
queen IN Hawaii are to endeayor to
secure something for her from the
United States is no longer doubted.
From q high official IN the State
Department the correspondent was
told that while Widemann had made
no particular Representations to
Secretary Gresham IN behalf OF
queen LIliuokslsni, the belief among
diplomats in the State Department
was that Widemann was there for
the express purpose OF trying to in
duce Congress at the coming session
to settle with the representatives OF
the displaced monarchy on some
financial basis. Secretary Gresham
and President Cleveland, SO it is
learned. will put In sn answer that
the present Administration 81 one
time offered TO restore the queen to
the throne from which she had been
displaced, but that the queen declln-
ed TO accept the terms of the Cleve-
land Administration unless she, as
the head OF the restored monarchy,
would be permitted TO deal with the
principals OF the so called revolution
as she pleased. This purpose on the
part OF queen Liiiuokslsni to behead
some OF the men instrumental IN
bringing about her overthrow
brought about the decision of Presi
dent Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham to take no further action IN
her case. This Is the defense in 8
nutshell.

In reply to the above enquiry,
we say the reason why steamships
are not built on a large scale in
the United States is, that the raw
materials, iron especially, costs
much more in the United States,
than in England, so that even with
the skilled labor of America, it can
not compete with England. With
in a few years, the price of iron has
fallen in the United States, but not
sufficiently so to enable America
to compete with the Clyde.
Another difficulty, stated to Us
by large steamship owner, is that
the English naval architects have a
large capital in accumulated ex-
perience, which gives them great
advantage in building vessels.
1t is true that American employ
ers have availed themselves of for
eign workmen to a great extent.
The British workman, under new
conditions, and with better food,
vastly improves his work, when he
reaches the States.
The president of some locomotive
works told Us at the Paris exposi-
ton, that the American locomotive,
which took the prize there, was con-
structed entirely by English and
Scotch workmen, who had emigrat-
ed to the States. The master me-
chauics are, as a rule, Americans.
There has been, during the last
twenty years, a decided change in
the condition of the British work
man. The ease and cheapness of
transportation enables them, if sim
gle men, to quickly reach the high
est labor market. This, and the
great advance Of wages in England,
has bettered his physical condition
and given his brain better chance.

ENGLAND'S SHIPBUILDING.
Judge Hart Thinks Englishmen Do
Not Hire Americans.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In your issue of this
date, under head OF "Cheap Labor"
you remark, "a British naval con-
structor on the Clyde, said, twenty
years ago, that the cost of building a
vessel then, with the labor Of skilled,
well-fed, American mechanics, at
S3.50 per day would be no greater than
if it was built with the ordinary Eng
lish wages of S1.OO per day"
If the British naval contractor said
so, and if he spoke the truth, is it not
rather remarkable that large major
ity of vessels engaged in the worlds
commerce are built in Britain? Have
the British master builders been send
ing to America for skilled, well-fe6
American mechanics, or sis the boot
on the other leg, and is 1t not a fact
that American builders have largely
awaited themselves of the knowledge,
skill and muscle Of Scotch and Eng
lish workmen?
Yours obediently,
G. f. HART.

Pacific Bonds Due this Month.

Within the next month the gov
eminent will be called upon to pay
$2,000,000 of Pacific railroad bonds.
1t will be the first payment on
these bonds, issued years ago to
subsidize the building of the rail-
roads across the continent. They
ran for long terms, and are now
about to mature. The $2,000,00
next month will be followed by an
other 100000 next November.
The railroads are primarily respon-
sible for the payment of the bonds.
but as they were issued and guar
anteed by the government, congress
has anticipated, by its effort to
fund or extend the debt, that the
government will have to meet the
maturing bonds.
