UNITED STATES WARSHIPS.

The cruisers New York, Columbia,
Minneapolis and Marblehead, of our
navy have been ordered to Keil to par
ticipate in the opening of the canal
Germany has just finished connecting
the Baltic and North seas. Other
nations have been invited to send
warships and the United States not
to be out done is to make grand ex-
hibit. The vessals when in festival
attire will not be eXcelled in grandeur
by any others.
Each will carry two or more electric
search lights, and an enormous shield;
the American coat of arms in colored
incandescent lights.
The name of each ship will be dis
played in electric letters, and lights
will be strung up the masts and
around the hull on the water line so
the lines of the ships will be describ-
ed. The ships will also carry a large
supply of fire works and set pieces.
One piece in German text translated
reads:
Hearty greeting to Germany from
the United States"
The electric effects are for night
only. Daytime the ships will be dec
grated with flags and bunting.
This will be the grandest display
the United States has made in a
foreign port, and old glory will no doubt
do her country justice.

that the remaining five members of
the executive committee might be

After considerable balloting, the
following were elected to complete
the executive committee of ten: L. A.
Under, I. Longini, J. c. Thro, r. d.
Hubbard and j. G. Wise, Jr.
The selection of a permanent secre-
