A Naval Board Ordered.

A board. composed of Rear Admiral
Walker, Chief Engineer Farmer, Command
ers Converse and Bradford and Constructor
Bowles, with Lieut.. Hunker as recorder. has
been appointed to meet at the Navy Depart
ment to consider the plans for the new bat
tleships and @. with special reference to
the position of the rams. Since the plans
were drawn a discussion has sprung up
among naval experts on this point, some
holding that the rams should be placed low
down in the water, so as to easily penetrate
an enemy's hull In the thin skin plates.
while others contend that 1t should be so
placed as to strike the armor belt, thereby
crushing in the side of the enemy and at the
same time avoiding the danger of becoming
fixed fast in the hull and being carried down
with the stricken vessel. At present th,,
plans provide for the latter type of ram, and
1t will be for the board to determine which
position Is the better.

WHAT CONGRESS SHOULD DO.
Representative Aldrich Thinks
Sh0uld Relieve the TreaaurY.

Representative Aldrich Thinks 1t
Should Relieve the Treasury.
Representative Aldrich of Illinois is in
Washington aiding Gen. Henderson In his
candidacy for the clerkship of the House.
Mr.. Aldrich said to a reporter of The Star
that he thought Congress should make an
earnest effort to do something to relieve the
treasury and to improve the general condi-
ton of the country. In doing so, however.
he thought the majority should exercise
their own judgment regardless of what the
President might or might not do. He did
not see how 1t could be expected they would
go to Mr.. Cleveland and ask his approval be-
fore taking any action. nor did he think they
were warranted in assuming that the Presi-
dent would disagree to anything which was
done in good faith In accordance with the
best judgment Of Congress to improve the
situation.
A general revision Of the tariff at this time
he did not regard as practicable, but said
that he thought the revenue necessary
should be raised by means of customs duty.
Possibly 1t would be better for this Congress
to go no further than to put duty on wool,
be raised in this manner they might add
duty to some other item. He did not think
that the business interests of the country
we're in q condition where 1t would be aesir-
able to enter into a great agitation which 1t
was certain at the outset could have no
tangible results. He rather favored the
idea, II 1t should be necessary. in addition to
such duty as might be raised on wool, to
authorize the Treasury Department to issue
certificates of Indebtedness to meet neces-
sary expenditures In excess Of the revenue.
This and possibly some provision for the in
said. he thought was about all that might
be expected from the present Congress.

Statistical Association.

At the monthly meeting of the National
Statistical Association held tuesday evening
at Columbian University two interesting and
Instructive papers were read. The first
was by Mr.. Frederick C. Waite of the Ag-
ricultural Department, on the statistics of
the recent election, under the title THE
Stay-at-home Vote" In the course of his
paper Mr.. Waite said: Another tidal wave
of disapproval has been recorded at the
polls. OF the three great parties in the field
two have received very much smaller per-
centage of the total vote than In former
years, while the third, the stay-at-home
party, has made most wonderful gains"
In explanation of these phenomena he
said that the forces which In presidential
elections result in the defeat Of the party
In power are two:
First. The dissatisfaction with the party
In power among the members of the party
out of power is so great that they feel 1t
to be their sacred duty to turn the rascals
out On the other hand, the adherents of
the party in power are constantly being
disappointed. They feel that they have not
received anything like the care and recog-
milton which was promised.
Second. There Is an inherent ebb and
How of enthusiasm among the adherents of
a political party. Naturally, the number of
years from fiood-tide to food-tide of enthu-
siasm comedies with the periodcity of the
cause, which once in eight years falls in
with It and carries 1t to the maximum
height; namely, the storm of Indignation
against the high-handed partisan misrule
Of their opponents"

ment, who, as special agent of the census
office, had charge of the division Of farms,

WRITERS OF THE PRESENT.
Hall Cnine Talks About the Novel and
the Drama.

Hall Cnine Talks About the Novel and
the Drama.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Mr.. Game gave a short talk to the students
of the University of Pennsylvania in the
chapel building yesterday morning on THE
Novel and the Drama" The author was
given an ovation and. after expressing his
appreciation Of the honor, said in part:
There are always people enough to tell
us that the best fiction and drama are things
of the past. and that the novels and plays
of the present are going from bad to worse.
Such grumblers are always with US.
There are always people enough to tell
us, too. that all the stories are told. Well.
so they are. in one sense at all events. The
stories arc very few in number, If We look
only to the fundamental lines of them. There
are perhaps six, perhaps seven, certainly
not a dozen, based on the operation of differ
ent passions. All these stories were told In
drama before the first novel las we now IN
derstand the name) was written. And per-
haps they were all told In the Bible before
the first drama was played.
Then there are always people enough
to tell us that the novel of the future can
never be the novel of the past, not only
because we lack the writers and the stories,
but also because We lack the scene. Accord
ing to these critics the romantic ages are
gone, and we have fallen on bald and pro-
sale and even violently unromantic times
THE folks who are forever deploring the
past and asking us where are the great
novelists. the great painters and the great
poets OF our time are perhaps like the tourist
who went TO Iceland to look for the lava
streams. He tramped day after day over the
charred and serted face of the dried-up lava
of that volcanic land without seeing nry-
thing that answered to his idea Of streams.
But where are the lava streams?' he asked
Where are the lava streams? said the
guide. Why, you are sitting on Them SIR
And perhaps the people who are forever cry
Ing. Where are your novelists and your
poets| are sitting on them just as certainly
Much of the excellent fiction of our time
Is local-msy l without offense say proyin-
cial. We who are novelsts pick out little
provinces and little periods. Some Of my
American as well as my English fellow
novelists are doing true and beautiful work
as novelists of province. Among such l nvel-
lists are Mr.. Cable. Mr.. Stockton, Mr. Page,
George Egbert Craddock. Miss Wilkins ard
other whose names escape my memory at
the oment. Happily a story does not de-
pend for its greatness on the greatness o.
its scene. and some of these novelists of
province have written great novels with lit
tie scenes In one sense the scene of a story
Is always Of the same bigness and littleness
just the size of the human heart"

An interesting trial will shortly be con-
ducted at the Indian Head proving grounds
of an experimental turret, representing a
similar struc ture on the battle ship Massa-
chusetts. 1t will serve a double purpose,
the primary one being to determine the ac-
ceptance or rejection of a group of armor
which the plate fired at represents, and,
secondly. to determine the effect of the i'm
pact upon the supporting frame. Contact
shots will be fired from a twelve-inch rifle.

HE WANTS THE CANAL.
Representative Mahon ON the Nicarn-
guam Canal Bill.

Representative Thad. Mahon of Pennsyl-
vania was In the city today, and talked
Interestingly to Star reporter upon the
prospects of a Nicaraguan canal bill In the
next Congress. Mr.. Mahon is very much
interested in this measure having given 1t
considerable attention when he was
member of the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce in the last Congress.
Il think the bill will pass Congress at
this session." said Mr.. Mahon to The Star
man, "as 1t certainly should. That canal
should be built at an early day, and 1t should
be constructed by the United States gov
eminent. We ought never to allow a Tor
eign government to have anything to do
with that canal and it would be exceed
ingly risky to permit even syndicate OF
American business men to construct it. If
it were built by a business syndicate 1t
could be sold out at any time to the highest
bidder, and Great Britain would be mighty
glad to get it.
eff the United States builds and owns
that canal we will be the mistress Of the
western hemisphere. We could put the
navy of our country into Lake Nicaragua,
that magnificent body of fresh water, where
it would be within striking distance of
either coast of both American continents.
We need never disturb ourselves then about
cOaling stations for the benefit of our fleets
in the south Atlantic and south Pacific
waters.
THE condition of the politics Of the coun-
tries of South and Central America at this
time, and the vital interests which the
United States has in those countries, should
indicate more than anything else the neces-
sity for the early construction of that canal
by this government. l do not think the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty can have any
weight as an argument against the sole
ownership of the canal by the United
States. That treaty has been violated time
and again by England, and violated to the
extent that relieves us of further obligation
to observe 1t. This question could be set
tied, however, by repeating the treaty out
of hand.
Il do not believe that England would en-
ter word of protest against our attempt
to build the canal under government aus
piceS; but, what IL she did?"
