BODIES, the excursion committee, whose
chairman. Jerome F. Johnson, is already
enthusiastic over the prospects of present.
ing to the visiting delegates an attractive
array Of places easily reached by pleasure
seekers. Mr. Johnson was born in Michi-
gan of New England parents. During the
late war he served with distinction in the
famous Iron Brigade, and was discharged
after the battle of Gettysburg because of
wounds received in that struggle He came
to this city and made his home here. At
the organization of the First Congrega-
tlonal Church in 1866 Mr. johnson became
one of the original members. since which
time he has held many important positions
in the church and Sunday school, resigning
recently the superintendency of the latter
to accept the position of field worker of
the Sunday School Union of the District,
to which he was last year elected.
Mr.. Johnson will have the assistance of
an auxiliary committee of about forty
members in carrying out his plans, as well
as the advice and help of the following,
who are members Of the central excursion
committee: j. r. Mothershead of the Cal
vary Baptist Church: G. w. Callahan,
Luther Memorial Church; A. NJ. Orrison,
Mount Vernon Place NJ. E. Church; ]. A.
Scott, Ninth Street Christian Church; W.
]. McClelland, North Presbyterian Church,
and John G. Muir of the f Street Baptist
Church.
the committee has already practically COM
pleted arrangements for excursions to
Fortress Monroe and Mount Vernon by
steamer, and by rail to Gettysburg, Har-
pers Ferry and the cayerns of Luray. No
excursions Will be given SO in any way
to Interfere with the convention program.
Those trips which will require all day for
their accomplishment will be deferred until
after the closing session, Monday night,
July Il. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day following VIII be selected as the time
for the big trips.
1t is understood that three, boats will be
utilized by the steamboat company to at
ford every facility for the great crowds to
visit Americas shrine the home and final
Testing place of the father of his country,
and that, if necessary, each boat will make
three trips daily.
uled for each day, it is the intention of the
July, a special Mount Vernon day. At this
time exercises of patriotic nature will be
held in the grounds and it is anticipated
that the excursion will be one of the most
popular and delightful to be given.
Trips to Harper's Ferry, Gettysburg and
Luray will also be literally patronized it
is expected, for a great many of the dele
gates will combine their summer vacations
with their convention trip, and will be
ready and anxious to spend several days
in recreation and pleasure, especially as
special rates for all the excursions have
been obtained.
The daily program of the convention is
so arranged as to give ample time to wheel
men and wheelwomen to enjoy a spin about
WashinSton's pretty suburbs. After the
adjournment of the morning meetings, at
IL O'clock, another service will not occur

constitute the best defense of those shores
in time of need. This bureau thinks that
1t would be wise to keep the gun shops
working to their full capacity for several
years I'm order to provide guns for such
purpose. The old smooth-bore guns, of
which a large number have accumulated
during many years, are now practically OBJ
solete, and an ample supply of modern guns
should be manufactured, in order that in
crisis We should not be compelled TO use
such inferior weapons as the old smooth
bore guns.
1.-The bureau also respectfully requests
that the item under gun plant for the navy
yard be restored to the original estimate
S6o,ooh. This estimate was based upon the
actual needs in the case, and If it is re-
duced by $4,000 it will necessitate omit
ting part of the contemplated improve
ments until a future time when the cost
of continuing the work will be very much
Increased by the necessity of doing ii piece

Guns for the Hartford.

THE item Of modern battery for the
Hartford was omitted from the present bill
by the House committee. The Hartford
has been under repairs by the bureau of
construction for a year, 100000 having
been appropriated last year. and the same
sum this year. The present bill also car
rles 10000 for commencing the building
OF new engines. Such progress has already
been made upon the Hartford that it is
necessary at this time to decide upon the
character Of the battery to be put in the
snip: Inc Improvements for the guns de-
pend upon the character of the mounts
If the old smooth-bore battery is ii he
used, The form of the parts would be adapt-
ed TO that style of guns; If the old battery
Is TO be replaced by modern guns differ
ent style of port openings and a different
arrangement of magazines, ETC., will be re-
CURED. The Chicago, upon the recon-
merdHion of board, is to be supplied
with a battery Of fourteen 5-inch randi
fire guns in place of the eight 6-,ncl> and
two 5-inch breech-loadipg guns which she
has hitherto carried. No estimate for This
additional expenditure has been submitted,
the expectation of the department being
that those guns at first manufactured for
the auxiliary cruisers If not elsewhere re-
quired would in part be Used for the rapid
fire battery of the Chicago.
Aiming the Auxiliary Cruisers.
GAS before stated, 100000 will be re-
quired for the manufacture of seventy T.
5, and 6-inch guns for arming in part the
auxiliary cruisers. The government is now
entirely without means of furnishing these
ships with guns or ordnance equipment of
any kind. Twenty-nine of these ships which
nave been selected as suitable for cr,iasrs
in time of war would form a most impoI /
ant adjunct to our naval force If they were
properly equipped Aside from these YES
sells, a considerable number of excellent
steamers are to be found upon the lakes

The Rate of Steel Supply.

I'm the contract for the forgings for the
s-inch and 13-inch guns, the steel makers
at their own suggestion, are to supply the
forgings at the rate of one complete set
for S-tnch guns every twenty-five days; and
for the 13-inch guns one complete set every
thirty days after the commencement of
the delivery in each case. 1t therefore ap-
pears that the 13-inch forgings for the six
battle ships would be supplied in two
years, and the forgings for the S-inch guns
in sixteen months. Forgings for smaller
caliber guns can be supplied at a much
more rapid rate. Therefore, there should
be no difficulty in obtaining the necessary
forSings in order to enable US to manu-
facture the guns within the time required
The above estimate of the rate at which
the forgings can be supplied is based upon
the superstition that there are but two steel
works. If a third Uhe Carnegie Steel Com
pany) takes up the business of manufactur-
ing such forgings, which is likely to be the
case, the rate of supply will, in conse-
quence, be increased.

Well Within the Capacity.

THE number of guns required for the six
battle ships will be twenty-four thirteen
inch. twenty-four eight-inch and eighty-four
five inch which appears to be well within
the manufacturing capacity of the gun shop.
The machine tools intended for the manu-
facturc of four-inch. five-inch or siX-nch
guns all be combined upon either cali
Der Those intended for the ten-inch, twelve
inch and thirteen-inch can also be all com
bined upon the manufacture Of either cali
Der.
The small caIibcr rapd-fire guns six
Founders, etc., necessary to the battery of
these ships usually purchased of the
Hotchiss or briggs Ordnance Company. The
torpedo outfit is also purchased OF the max
erS.
The five-inch guns necessary to the bat
terry of the Kearsargc and Kentucky have
all been contracted for and delivered. The
forgings for the eight-inch guns We're con-
trdcted for on the LIST of March, ard de-
liVerieS are to begin on the LIST of June Con-
tracts have also been made for the thirteen
inch forg2ngS for these ships, and deliveries
are to commence Oh the LIST of July. If the
contracts for the necessary forgings for the
other battle ships can he made before the
guns for the Kentucky and kearsarge have
been completed, SO that the work NAV be
continuous in the gun shops, there is no
doubt that the battery for all these ships
can be completed within three years. in
Guiding the additional work required If the
appropriation is made for the battery Of
the Hartford, for the spare guns for the
naval service and the guns for the auxiliary
cruisers.

Money Required.

''If 100000 is appropriated for the guns
for auxiliary cruisers, it will be sufficient
to manufacture twenty 6-inch, twenty D.
inch and thirty 4-inch guns, together with
their mounts.
The reserve supply Of guns for the navy,
which was asked for by this bureau, is as
follows: One Pinch, two 13-irch, ten D.
inch and five S-inch. These reserve guns
would cost s323,VoO. This amount WIS re-
duced by the department to $4,000.
II the seventy small rapid-tire guns es-
timated for for auxiliary cruisers We're to
be added TO the first years work in pro-
viding guns for the battle ships, including
the kearSarge and Kentucky, it will be
seen that the total number required to be
manufactured in one year would still be
well within the capacity of the shops The
machinery in the shops where the mounts
fer these guns are manufactured has been
gradually increased until the capacity of
this shop is now equal to that of the gun
shops for the manufacture of guns; and 1t
can be confidently stated that the mounts
and equipments necessary for the battery
of the ships above referred to would be
completed within the time estimated for
the manufacture Of the guns themselves

THE NETWORK TIMES.

THE TIMES is a newsp paper for intelligent men and women who want 10 read all the news of the world day. The paper has distin- gushing merits of it's own. It is neither sen sational nor dull. It is not sour tempered. It is not frivolous or visionary. It seesplenty of good in the world and tells about it. It tells of the bad when it must, but not unwholesomely. It prints with fullness the record of human en- deavor in many fields outside Of business, poli- tics, and war-in literature, religion, science, art, sports, and household matters. No paper in the country prints so many book reviews and so much book news. No paper has so complete a financial page-a daily manual for investors and officers of financial institutions. Its mar ket reports-wool, cotton, breadstuffs. farm produce, &c.-are the best in the country.
 The Democracy of The Times is of the old fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jefferson majority rule; no bossism, nc machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money making, 8 sound currency, industrial emanci- patton, and everyday honesty. Topromote the advance of the Democratic party along these lines it labors with heart and conscience and III it's Oht
