England Backs Down.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The news
that Lord Salisbury has in public
speech expressed his belief that the
Venezuelan controversy is at an end
excited much interest among officials
here. 1t is regarded as the first of
ficial confirmation that has come
from the English Foreign Office of
the news heretofore printed in The
Dispatch that Sir Julian Paunceforte
brought back with him to this coun-
try definite propositions upon which
a satisfactory agreement can be
reached with regard to the boundary
dispute.
While the terms of these PROPOSE
lions have been kept a state secret
and it is impossible to ascertain def
niteiy the basis of settlement, it is
understood that Great Britain has
receded from her original position
in utterly refusing to submit the
whole question to arbitration.

WEST VIRGINIA GONE.
All Four Congressman Beaten
Actual and Estimated Pluraiities Gives
the State to Republicans.

The following table is based ON
actual and estimated returns and
gives the state to the Republicans
by small plurality. Official returns
may change the result somewhat but
not much either way nor enough to
give it to the Democrats.
1t seems to be year of landslides
and we slid the wrong way. Each
of our candidates for congress was
defeated as the table shows. Dorr
Republican in the third district had
the largest plurality. To send such
a man to Congress is acknowledged
by Republicans to be disgrace not
only to the district but to the state.
Had it been thought for moment
that Dorr had the slightest chance
of winning he never would have been
nominated. He is a renegade Dem
ocrat and has belonged to every par
ty in the state. His most recent out
break was a disgraceful, drunken
orgie during which he attempted to
make speech. Ours being a reput-
able newspaper forbids further com
ment on the last distinguished states
man West Virginia has given to the
nation.
The State Senate and Legislature
are both heavily Republican but as no
United States Senator is to be elect
ed this session that is not so bad as
it might have been. Monongalia
will have representative in the SEN
ate in the person Of Col. r. E. Fast
who was elected by handsome ma
jority. We have seen come to pass
what the Republicans have claimed
would happen for years but until
now it has not oecurred-The state
is Republican in all branches. As
loyal citizens we bow to the will OF
the majority and hope that the tri-
umphant party may give the state as
able and business like one as the
Democrats have in the past We
urge all parties now since the arbi-
trament is final to do all in their
power to advance in every way the
material welfare of our state.
In the meanwhile the broken but
not dispirited lines of the Democra-
cy will be formed for victorious on
slaught in 1900.

Battle ships and Cruisers.

1t is strange that among the com
ments on Japan's order for two
American built cruisers of the Olym-
pia type are found structures upon
the Secretary Of the navy for not de-
handing further production for the
United States of such vessels instead
OF coast-line battle ships. Such com
ments show curious ignorance of
the objects and aims of an American
navy. The province of our navy is
naturally two-fold. It's first business
is to represent the country abroad,
to support its honor and enforce its
claims in all places where such sup
port and enforcement are necessary.
For this work cruisers are unques-
tionably necessary, and the only
question that arises is whether we
have enough OF them, and those of
sufficient speed, coal capacity and
fighting ability, to do the required
work. The second business of the
navy-second only because less fire.
quent than the other-is to defend
the country. 1t is obvious that cruis-
ers cannot best do this.
In building the new navy the alb
solute necessity of large force Of
cruisers of various types, forces OF
armament and degrees OF speed has
been kept constantly in sight. No
navy in the world is better equipped
with such vessels in proportion to
its size than that of the United
States. Furthermore, all of our re-
Gently built cruisers show distinct
advance over foreign vessels Of their
class. For instance, the New York
is conceded, even by English author
tiles, p be better ship than the
Blake, and the Brooklyn is an i'm
provement on the New York. The
Olympia belongs to the English Hec
tor class, but is marked advance
upon it.
On the other hand, all the Other
great navies excel ours in the pro
portionate number of battle ships
This is so because we properly de
voted the early years of our work, as
already noted, to supplying our first
needs. But in the course of events
we shall inevitably come into armed
conflict with some other nation
and for that day we must pro
vide ourselves with battle ships
Most of these ought to be of the
coastline types. We shall not be
likely to fight except in defence o
our country, and in doing that We
shall properly throw the burdens
and difficulties of aggressive warfare
upon the attacking nation.
For the defence of our coasts We
need few sea-going battle ships, tt
meet and check the enemy's fleet al
some distance from our shores, an6
large force of coast-line vessels tt
protect those shores from assault
Secretary Herbert is right in calling
for more battle ships. He is acting
with the advice of our best authori
ties on naval warfare, and there arr
none better, 1t will not be necessa
ry to cease building cruisers; but i
is equally unnecessary to continue
producing them in large numbers
because we are already fairly wei
supplied with thom.
1t is a good thing for eommenta
tors on the navy to know littl,
about navies and their purposes
Glittering generalities are about al
valuable in the discussion of tn,
topic as compass with the quarter
masters jack knife in the pinnacle
is for steering ship.-JomnaL

Big Scheme Of Waterways.

There is a project strongly enter
tanned in the scheming minds of en-
ergetic spectators to open line of
protected seaboard navigation from
Boston to New Orleans. If congress
should be i'll a fitting humor it will
be pressed at the coming session. In
its fullest form the enterprise would
connect Massachusetts bay with the
mouth of the Rio Grande by such a
line. That would require the cutting
of new canals through Cape Cod and
the Florida peninsula, and also eth
er new canal through the Mary
land peninsula or an enlargement of
the existing ones. 1t would also re-
quire work upon existing or new
canal lines across New jersey
through Virginia to North Carolina.
and upon the various sounds, lagoons
and bayous on the coast of the Caro-
linas and Georgia and along the gulf
shores Of Florida, Louisiana and
Texas. The enormous expense of
this project has, however, caused
some advocates to limit their views
to securing aid for portions only of
it.
OF course the commercial advan-
tages of such system are apparent.
In time of war if we could not com
mand the ocean it would protect our
coastwise trade. 1t would also afford
important strategic advantages
should we become involved in war
with a powerful sea power like Great
Britain. But the true method of de-
Tense seems to be to make each great
port capable of self-protection by the
completion of the system of fortifica-
lions already devised. Once the gov
eminent of the United States en-
banks in the canal business for com
mercial purposes it will open the ex-
penditure of hundred of millions of
money which will be largely wasted.

KENTUCKY CONCEDED
TO Mckinley BY the Democrats Both
Headquarters Closed.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 1O.-Head-
quarters Of both the Republican and
Democratic campaign committees
are closed, it being conceded now
that on the face of the official returns
from l15 of the 119 counties that
Mckinley has carried the state. The
official returns from the missing
counties will not alter the general re,
suit. Chairman Roberts figures Nc
Kinley's plurality at 444, saying that
the official returns from the four
counties will increase this figure. On
the same number of counties the
Courier Journal figures the plurality
at 49S and the Times this afternoon
places it at 576.
Bettors who wagered money that
Bryan would carry Kentucky now
concede that Mckinley has carried
the state by small, but safe plur-
atty and are paying their bets.
