SECRETARY HERBERT BACK.
Result of HIS Inspection of EurOpe'
Navies.

Result OF HIS Inspection Ot EsuroPcah
Navies.
Secretary Herbert resumed his duties at
the Navy Department this morning, after
a two months vacation in Europe. In an
informal talk to newspaper men. he said he
had visited the gun foundries and armor
plants of England, and had inspected some
of the newest types of foreign ships of war.
AS result of his observations he was con-
vinced that America was we'll abreast of
the times in the march of naval progress.
France he said, has some magnificent
vessels, but, on the whole, L think our own
surpass them in effectiveness and speed 1
did not have an opportunity to examine in
to tho general discipline as deeply as l
wished to. but what did see convinced me
that our officers and men are as well drilled
and set up as they are anywhere abroad.
In England devoted all the time l had to
examining into the armor and gun manu-
facture. l visited and thoroughly inspect
ed all the big plants, and there 1 secured
much useful information, which l cannot,
at this time, make public. but which shall
present to Congress in my report"
The Secretary visited Manchester and
Sheffield and inspected the Maxim-Norden-
manufac tured there. he thought, were su-
perior to those made here. But he is con-
fident that the gunmakers Of this country
win soon be able to turn out weapons
equally as good.
AT Yarrow he had inspected the boat
building establishment. and was much in
terested in that plant, which turns out the
fastest torpedo boats that have been con-
structed. His conclusion Is that there are
In this country as capable boat builders as
can be found on the Thames or anywhere
else. In speaking Of armor plates, Mr..
Herbert said he had found but very little
difference between those manufactured
abroad and the American product.
Taking OF Mr.
Herbert said 1t was not probable that he
would take an active part in the campaign
as his official duties would occupy most OF
his time.

Bru.h's AIlegea scheme.

According to story emanating from MIL
waukees John T. Brush. who owns the In
dianapolis team. as well as the Cincinnati
team OF the big league, and John Goodnow
of Minneapolis have a scheme on foot to
have the National League withdraw Its
protection from the Western League, SO
that they might reorganize the league and
put clubs in what cities they see fit and
distribute franchises wheresoever they de-
sire. This alleged scheme will be fought to
finish by Conniskey OF st. Paul and 9TH
ers.
Brush and Goodnow are said to be basing
their proposal On the ground that the West
ern. League had admitted Grand Rapids
contrary to the wishes OF Indianapolis and
Minneapolis. The cities that will be af-
fected are Milwaukee. Kansas City, De
