gau in condition was, from the time of
it's construction in 1S45 down to 1880.
less than the cost of keeping a wooden
warship in condition for one year. This
was the strong argument for those who
wanted to construct new navy of metal
For four months we carried on most
thorough examination of the subject. The
committee decided TO report in favor of a
new navy, and one by one the members
came over to the idea of using STEEL

don't mean it was the first steel war ship
launched, but the first one authorized to
be built. When the committee was con-
yinced as to what ought to be done, we
had the biggest kind of fight to get
Congress to act. 1t was double fight,
first to commit Congress to new navy,
and second to the use of steel The Chi
cago, the Atlanta, the Boston and the
navy The preliminary appropriation
was only $50, 600, b ut it took the hardest
work to get it through.

see it easier to get through bill appro-
priating S11, 900, 600 for new war ships
than it was to obtain that $50, ooo"

President Arthur. The bill was

THE NEW lNAVY.
Ex-Congressman Thomas sA, of irs
Decade of Progress.

When j. r. Thomas went to Congress-
from the Cairo district of Illinois he was
put on the naval committee and made
chairman of the subcommittee on cen
struction. Some of his friends esteemed
the appointment good joke. They used
to talk to the new Congressman about
prairie schooners and the price of salt
water in Egypt. Before his first term
had expired Mr.. Thomas had, in a
speech, presented information gathered
from original sources about the nayies of
the world, which formed the basis of
legislation carrying many millions of
dollars He pioneered the theory of steel
battleships w hen statesmen from navy
yard districts were still talking about
live oak. He remained in Congress ten
years, and it was during that time the
new American navy was begun When
sally recognized by both parties as the
best posted member on all matters per-
tanning to the navy.
After he returned to private life he
spent several years in Europe, and while
there gave great deal of attention to the
navies of other countries.
Mr.. Thomas arrived in Boston RECENTLY
and in the course of a conversation
with reporter talked interestingly of
the evolution of the new navy of this
country.
"When the naval committee of the
forty sixth Congress organized" said Mr..
Thomas, the American navy had
reached the lowest point in its history.
We hadn't single steel war vessel of any
kind Outside of few single -turreted
monitors left over from the war, we had
just one iron vessel and that was the
Michigan, on the great lakes. The Mich.
igan had been constructed in sections at
Bucyrus or Pittsburg in 1916, hauled
overland and put together ID
eve were down to few wooden huIks.
Practically the question which confronted
our committee was whether the United
States should build new navy or endea.
yor to get along without any navy Ii
we were to have a new navy, what
should be the material-wood, iron OF
steel? Right here the old Michigan fur
nished us an object lesson. We took a
poll of the committee l remember, to
see how we stood on the question of ma.
terial. We were eleven members. Five
were for live oak, five for iron and one
for steel. 1t appeared on investigation

CUSTER'S LAST FIELD.
Story of the Battle Stereotyped ON
Custer's Hill, ON Little Big Horn.

Died in Line of BattIe-No One Lived to
Put the Story into Words-A Field
Which the Government Has Consecrat-
ed to Dead Heroes of Indian War,
Fort Custer, Mont, July 90 The last
battle of General Custer on the Little
Big Horn has been and will contiue to be
the most tragic and the most mysterious
in our military history.
The Custer Battlefield, now national
cemetery, is in Southeastern Montana,
and visit to it is pleasant side trip
from the Northern Pacific at Billings 1t
is about sixty miles from Billings, and
makes an interesting excursion for a day
The famous field is two miles from the
Grow Indian Agency and ten miles from
Fort Custer. Congress has set it apart
for national cemetery. where all the
soldiers who died in the Indian wars OF
the West shall be buried, and the bodies
are being removed from Wyoming, the
Dakotas and other points of Montana to
here find fitting burial on consecrated
ground.
These graves are, however, on part OF
the filed where they will not interfere
with the alignment of the white stones
marking where Clusters men fell
The line of Custer's march from For
Abraham Lincoln to the Little Big Horn
is almost the line now followed by the
Northern Pacific, from Mandan to Miles
City, and on down the Yellowstone River
to the mouth of the Rosebud River up
which Custer marched to ii Wolf Noun
tains, which he crossed to tn, Little Big
Horn, where he met the Indians and
fought his last battle
Clusters Hill' is destined to become
on of the patriotic landmarks of this
country, because Americans, like English
men, love heroisn and honor bravery,
without stopping to inquire whether that
heroism and bravery accomplished much
or little. Custer's Hill is a natural
mourd dedicated to the most fatal bat
tie ever fought by Americans-I might
say by civilized troops. The mound at
Waterloo and its lion commemorate the
overthrow of one great military genius
The monument on Custer's Hill COM
memorates the bravery and fidelity to
duty of the American soldier, without
regard to rank. Tennyson imInortalized
the Four Hundred of the Light Briagde
who rode in the charge on the Russian
batteries at Balakava. Nobody now
stops to inquire whether the commander
was rash or reckless in leading that
charge We all follow the poet laureate
in honoring the herois1n of the mon of
whom Tennyson wrote: ng
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
So will be with the gallant Seventh
Cavalry that followed Custer in the bat
tie on the Little Big Horn. More than

THE STOLEN FOUND.
The Burnbam Buggy, which was Stolen
May 30th, Recovered.
But VIM. Peek. WHO Borrowed it,
Steps from the Officers Clutches.

Last Wednesday at the populist picnic
the first trace OF the Burnham buggy,
which was stolen in this city on May
3Oth, was discovered. Some boys told
OF buggy answering the description
which they had seen in the barn OF VIM.
Peek, near Four Mile, and on the
strength OF this search warrant was
issued from Merriman's court, and Con-
stable Lanning went out to Peek S place,
where he not only found the stolen
buggy, but arrested Peek on charge OF
having stolen /. Both the buggy and
Peek were brought to Pullman Wednes-
dav evening, but just as Lannlng was
unlocking the door of the "cooler" Peck
made a dash for liberty, and the night
being dark he was soon lost to view, al
though several shots were fired at him
while ne was still visible. Since his es-
cape. Mr.. Lanning and others have been
untring in the search Tor the missing
man, but nothing can be found
Of him, and doubtless he is well out OF
reach by this time. The buggy has been
returned to its rightt7l owners, and the
country is rid OF Peek, without law
suit and heavy costs, although it would
have been most gratifying to have meted
out adequate punishment.
The buggy had been repainted, but
the leather flap, bearing the name
"Burnham" in raised letters, had not
been removed, and Identification was
easy.
