was remarkable. A splendid voice, clear
enunciation, good gestures, a well-written
essay, unusually good initiative powers,
all combined, is unusual, but he has them
all. He had a large and very intelligent
audience, which was quick to catch his

4 TRIAL OF MODERN NAvIEs.


The remarkable result Of the late con
tllct between Japanese and Chinese ma
,al forces are particularly interesting
ss throwing new light on the posslbili-
ties OF modern naval warfare The bat
tie between these forces affords prac-
tIcally the first test Of the modern
armed battle ship In active service. The
Chinese vessel, the Chen Yuen, with the
cruisers supporting her, was not, of
course, as formidable boat as is to
he found In other navles. But she was
a battle ship built after European mod
els and upon modern lines, and her ar
mament and fighting equipment were
those Of the wholly modern and as yet
untricd type of man-of-war
There has been much dispute among
the naval authorities MS to the probable
outcome of the first naval contest be-
tween these improved weapons OF mar
itlmo warfare. opinions varying not
only as to the duration and fatality
OF such contest, but as to the super
iorlty OF the naval giant of heavy bur-
den and armament over small but
quick-moving vessels armed with tor
pedoes. Tho reports Of the conflict In
the Asiatlc waters are yet too vague
to warrant the drawing of deductions,
but the one fact that so powerful a bat
tleship as the Chen Yuen, built In En-
gland and manned by German officers
and supported by two cruisers. could
be sunk like an old-fashioned wooden
frlgate, win be sure to re-awalSen the
discussion. The most plausible exph-
nation yet advanced is that the Chinese
hattleship was either blown up by a
torpedo or sent down before that most
deadly Of all naval weapons, the ram.
The details concerning this encounter
and the subsequent conflicts between
Japanese and Chinese naval forces win
be watched with keen interest by every
nation Of civilization, The lessons to
be learned from them may encourage
n continuance Of the policy of building
floating fortresses like the Victory ana
the Italia. Or they may tend to the
partial abandonment of vessels of this
class In favor of fleets of smaller but
more active vessels.

OUR FOREIGN POLICIES.

1t Is no sinecurc for n man who oc-
cupies any post under this admins
tration that brings him into relation
with it's foreign policies. For 1t has
foreign policies, great many of them;
and the most level-headed man IL likely
to get them all mixed up. 1t may be,
for instance, that there is no truth In
the story that Secretary Herbert, after
consultation with the president, had a
dispatch prepared censuring Admiral
Benham for his conduct at Rio de ia
Metro and recalling him from command
and was saved only by a popular out
burst Of popular approval of Renham
before the dispatch could be sent Off.

OF foreign Affairs under Mr.. Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham.
