REGARDING OUR NAVY.
Two Stories Told In the Brooklyn
NaVy-yard.

Two Stories Told In the Brooklyn
Navy-yard.
SAN Francisco, Nov, ia special
from New York to the Chronicle says:
Two interesting and significant stories
were told in the Brooklyn navy yard
which have special bearing on events
now in progress of development. The
first relates to the young German en-
peror, who made several visits to the
white Squadron when it was at Kiel
One day he was talking with celebrated
American captain.
''Captain," said he, II see that most
of your country's warships are fast
cruisers. What do you call them? Ah,
commerce destroyers, do you not?"
Eyes, Emperor" said the American.
"We've been watching you on this
side," the emperor went on, "and we
have come to conclusion that these
ships are built for a war with England.
What other nation has commerce to de-
stroy?"
There was silence after this, for our
captain had said more than he intended
to.
Grand Duke Alexis, who is a full Rus
sian admiral and head of the Russian
navy, was also frequent visitor to the
Americans at Kiel. One day while
watching the Columbia, the grand duke
said TO the captain:
''I'm glad you Americans are rebuild
ing your feet. Do you know what most
impressed me when 1 visited your
country? The first thing was your won
derful natural wealth, and, second, the
absolutely inadequate means at your
disposal for national defense. 1 have
heard the project of capturing one or two
of your great cities and holding for ran
som deliberately discussed by officers of
the European fleets, whose countries
have hard work to make ends meet, and
they meant it, too, but they were told
that Russia and the United States are
friends.''
