minds to do so. Surprising the President
should regard the matter as 50 important
that he should summon Congress in Elk
traordinary session and lay the case be-
fore them, would that body find the coun-
try in any fit or proper condition to en-

1t Is totally out of our power to afford
the port of Corinto any protection. The
available warships are either out in Chi

would be several weeks before we could
possibly rendezvous any number of yes

time the British ships now anchored at
Corinto might have collected the $1,000,
ing US to proceed to formal declaration
of war against England, with all that
means.
And if we declared war, are we in any
position to prosecute 1t? We find n
England has about SO armored ships,
mounting about $500 uns. of which about
7as are heavy guns. She has l2 I'M
armored ships. carrying about 725 heavy
and 1900 secondary guns. The personnel
of her navy consists of about $4,000 men,
with 77.0O0 reserves. Exclusive of coast
defence monitors, some of them of doubt
full value, we have perhaps five or six
armored vessels, mounting perhaps 20
heavy guns; and about "a
vessels of modern type. with an average
perhaps of two heavy guns each. The
fact is this country. through the neglect
of successive Republican administrations,
is still behind the age as a naval power.
We are not in a position to talk war
with any first class country. and re must
be content with exercising as pronounced
a moral force as we can until We can
restore ourselves to something like u
old status on the seas.
