TIE REVENIiE BILLS.

Washington December A-A plan has
been drawn up by ex-spcaker Crisp and
Mr.. Bailey of Texas. which will be Of
fercd as substitute for the republican
measures TO be presented Thursday. II Is
based upon the old bill for coinage OF
silver seignSyage, which was passed by
the last congress and vetoed by the
president but TO this bill VIII be added
feature for redemption of grcenbacks.
The principal change In the seignorage
bill VIII be the omission of that part
which rendered available the scignorage
before It had been coined by the use Of
silver certificates based upon II.
The trainers uf the hill hold that this
feature IL not necessary becauee there II
no immediate deficiency with the present
amount OF silver In the treasury.
The other feature OF the plan will pro-
vide for the redemption OF greenbncks
In silver Whenever the amount OF gold
IN the treasury falls below 100000. This
may be offered ss an amendment 10 the
seigorage bill. as more votes can be mus
tered for the former than for tho latter
proposition The democrats who favor
the plan intend. OF course, merely 10 place
themselves on record as consistent In their
financial policy.

the new United States steel cruiser.
the Columbia. holds the record for
speed in Il trip from tho Needles to
Sandy Hook light. making the voyage
in eleven minutes less han Il week.
The element of speed is an important
n in modern naval warfare. and not
less SO than solid sides of steel. In
genuity in modern naval affairs is di-
rected TO the construction of a gun of
such enormous power that nothing
can stand against il. and then in the
designing Of a ship that this gun will
have no more effect upon than a buck
shot. The race between the dcmoliSh-
ing gun and the impenetrable ship is
SO close thai to ave both III and ship
The veSSelmust have unnecessary speed
TO run away if required. This has
given our navy the Columbia. which
is believed to be the fastest naval cruiS-
or af1oat. II made an average speed
of nearly eighteen and One-half knots
an hOur at the expense of nearly 1000
tons of coal in the seven days on her
last trip. The Columbia was launched
in November. 1893. and on her trial
trip averaged twenty-five knots an
hour. She is built Of steel and carries
n eight-inch and two Six-inch breech-
loading rifles. eight fOur-inch rapid-tire
guns, twelve six-pounderS. and eight
o~ne-pounder quick-tire guns. The
cruiser is n of the best vessels of our
navy. and Is. from stem to stern. the
product of American yards and foun-
dries. Her guns are Of American
make. as are her engines. If we can
turn out such splendid vessels there is
no reason why our merchant marine
should not be the largest of any ma.
ton on the globe.
