THE TWO NAvIEs COMPARED.
On Paper That of the United States Is Vast
Iy Superior to That of Spain.

In view of the strained condition of affairs
between these two Powers and the fact that
the contest that would follow the opening
of hostilities would be chiefly naval one,
the subioined list of the effective modern
ships owned by each is published to give an
idei of the fleets they would be able to set
against each other. 1t should be borne in
mind that the four United States hrst-class
battleships are admittedly among the finest
in the world. as are also the two armored
cruisers, while Spain's single battleship is OF
a less up-to date type, carrying Lighter guns
and having inferior armor. The Spanish
armored cruisers are good ships from every
point of view, having two guns heavier than
any carried by the New York and the
be more than q match for one of the Vizcaya
class because of the greater number o.
heavy guns. I
classed with the Numancia and the Vitoria,
neither of the Spanish vessels would stand
before either OF the two former. In fact,
he Texas alone ought to be able to capture
or sink both of the Spaniards. The United
states has four first class battlesh1ps and
Spain only one. The United States has four
vessels Of the armored cruiser class and
Spain six. But altllt Ugh Spain has the
create rnu1nper of this type the TO ur United
States vessels are eatly superior. The
United States has thirteen non -seago1ng
coast defense monitors of from 1900 to 2lOo.
tons displacement which could be utilized
for the defence OF harbors. Spain has Two
of 55s and 700 tons, respectively. Spain has
a number OF small gunDOatS, USED as COAST
guard and patrol in Spain, Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, which are more thane
offset by thirty -four vessels in our revenu
marine service, and the small steamers
that are employed by the engineers depart
ment of tho United States army. There
are also in the navies of both nations a
number of old ships, ch as the Lanaster,
Hartford, Richmond, Wabash, Einneso ia
and Franklin (American), and the Almanac,
Blanca, Carmen, Lealtad and Asturias
(Spanish).

The Southern war claims, as well as
many other claims, need to be scrutin-
lied very carefully. On Friday bill
came up for the relief of James Bigler.
Inc claimant was owner of q place called
B1Rler's Mill, on the Virginia PENN
sula. and beginning with the battle OF
williamsburg in 1862, and continuing to
1865, the property WAS used and destroy ed
by Federal troops. Mr.. Bigler, who is
New Yorker and was always loyal.
asks recompense for his property. But 1t
Is general principle that no nation can
recompense claimants for property de-
stroyed in the course of war. Congress
has usually acted on such principle, al
though in the case of William and Mary
college, claim for damagos was allowed
on sentimental reasons. Governor Ding
ley called this to mind when the Bigler
bill came up, and suggested that the
principle involved in tho bill WAS very
important, and one to which the govern
melt had never committed itself. The
bill was laid aside without action on it.
The holiday recess began December
20, and lasts until January 5. Last year
Congress did not enjoy this recess. as
Mr.. CIeveland's call for emergency lea1s-
lation kept both houses here. Although
the needs Of the treasury are more now
than then, the President knows that no
help can be obtained from the Senate, so
will let the members so home. Althoug
therecess does not begin until the 32d, tho
members of the House began to drift
away four days before that event. This
was particularly true Of the western
mem hers.

design probably appreciated more by
the Knights than the ordinary sight

The display made by Lebeck e. Cor

unique and beautiful ever seen in this
city. our city authorities have been
experiencing IL vast amount of trouble

commissioner would not have the cOur-

The handsome decorations which
adorned the stately building OF the
Traders National bank and the excel
lent taste shown in the grouping and
distributing Of the heavy colors such as
the black and dark green was mighly
creditable to our local decorators,
Messrs. Fuhrman & Co. Among the
most striking decorations on I.acka-

DECORATIONS ABOUT TOWN.
Thy Are Of an Artistic and Elaborate
Mature.

That the art of the decorator is no
longer dependent for its pleasing effect
upon the use Of ilags. streamerS and
bunting, would have been apparent to
the most casual observer walking along
the business thoroughfares of the city,
last evening. Electrical figures of
every size and design flashed out beams
of variegated colorS from the doorwayS
stills and roofs of the business blocks
on Lackawanna and Wyoming avenues.
TRANSFORMING these ordinarily well
lighted sections into highways of bril-
liancy, suggestive of the approach to
the pleasure gardens Of AN Indian
prince. The willingness which our.
merchants displayed to decorate their
business establishments in response to
the request of the local Knights and
the elaborate and expensive scale upon
which many of them ornamented their
places goes far towards maintaining
the reputation for hospitality and gem
eral good cheer gained for our city upon
numerous past occasions of similar
character.
