"The full force of English oh

hardly understand why t'nV..

ENGLAND AND AMERICA
Rear Admiral Gherardi Thinks
We Are Not Prepared
to Fight.
Special to The HERALD.

New York, Jan. 22.-The
New York Commandery Of the
military order of Foreign orders
of the United States held a
meeting at the Brevoort house
last night. After the business
meeting, a dinner was given.
Rear Admiral Gherhardi made
the chief address of the even
ing. He said:
THE English are as stubborn
as we are, and they are inst as
proud. We have inherited the
same traits from them and |
can assure you that England
will fight But the last people
whom she wishes to fight with
are our own states. None of
these modern ships have been
in a great fight, and we do not
know what the result would re.
There is not any man who
does not believe the Monroe
doctrine was right, bnt whom
are going to fight fora About
rs despicable and ungrateful a
race as ever lived. The South
Americans do not like MS and
you cannot depend upon their
word. They do not have n re-
public there in the sense that
we have. They have no idea
of anything but force. of arms
When ! was in Chile during
the Baltimore affair, | heard it
said that ssthe best thing We
ever did was to, put hands on
Chile. They have no more use
for US than you have for rob
Der. However, that does not
affect the Monroe doctrine. We
should soy to Venezuela that
no one shall interfere with her,
not because we love her, but
because she is on this side of
the water.
In a war with England, we
could overrun Canada in less
than six weeks, but we have
no ships to fight. We could
not send troops TO Vene-
zuela :. We want battle ships
and until we get them, shall
not be prepared to fight. I do
rot think they would destroy
New York but they would
bottle us mp. 1t was shown in
the late war that the forts can
not stop ships.
England has laid down two
rules:-first, that her navy
must be superior to that of
any other power, and second,
that it must also be superior to
that of any other nation which
might ally itself to any at was
with England. She has such
a navy, and | wish to God we
had it. England is spending
hundreds of thousands of
pounds annually on her coaling
stations at Halifax and ST.
Lucia. Every point about
these Notifications is closely
guarded"

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
". Is. Riddle. Proprietor Of the Cottage
Hotel Assaulted Last Night While
Asirep-A Narrow Escape.

This morning about o'clock some
unknown person entered the office
OF the Cottage hotel and assaulted
W. b. Riddle with club, iniiicting
injuries OF serious nature and
" hich may yet prove fatal
There is a veil Of secrecy so dense
about the affair that It was impos-
sible to get on the inside as TO par
tieul7rs, but the ARDNoREITE Is able
to give the following reliable ac-
count:
Mr.. Riddle was sleeping in the
oIice on a cot and at the hour named
n was assaulted in n most brutal
manner. The assailant's motive was
beyond question murder pure and
simple and that IL failed is no fault
OF that iiend. The weapon used was
a club about five feet long and three
inches in diameter at the larger
end.
The would be murderer struck his
victim a terrible blow across the
forehead which left n crushed skull
and q gaping cut. This of course
knocked Mr.. Riddle insensible and
as he rolled of the cot he was struck
again across the temple, but appa'
rently with less violent force. Ills
cries awakened Mrs. Riddle and heI
son sleeping up stairs and this fright
ened away the assaulting party. The
club was left on the portico of the
hotel. An alarm was at once raised
and search instituted for the guilty
wretch, but be had covered himself
in the darkness aud for the time
bsing at least, made his escape.
DR.. Gardner was summoned and
! dressed Mr.. Riddles wounds. H'
found the skull broken and aftei
sewing up the cut, afforded such re
I lief to the sufferer as was possible
+ he pronounced the injury not neces
sarilyy fatal. but OF n very dangerou
character.
We understand there are severa
