For months past there have
been rumors of impending
changes to be made in the dispo-
sition of Uncle Sans warships
by which larger fleet will be
maintained in the Pacific. That
these changes have not already
been made may be accounted for
by the Cuban war, the consequent
possibility of trouble with Spain,
the war between Greece and Tur-
key and other reasons OF state
which have impelled the Secreta-
ry of the Navy to for time post.

Pacific. That these plans will
eventually mature and the Pacific
fleet be largely increased in the
near future receives some con-
firmation in the following:
News comes to member of
the Examiner staff from a
private source il the Navy De
partment at Washington that
within the next two years the
country will find the navy of the
United States nearly equally
divided in strength between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Says
the writer: TT is the Intention of
the Administration to greatly
augment the strength of the
Pacific feet. Instead of one
battleship, the Oregon, you will
have another sent to you, probably
the Massachusetts. The Kentucky
may also come around when com
pleted. The SCOTS are already
building the Wisconsin, and that
will give you four first class battle
ships. The Chicago, the old
cruiser with new engines, is
already booked for the Pacific,
probably as flagship. You will
also have the Hartford, Farragut's

was clear, his decisions were proper,
and his motives absolutely pure.
Mr.. President, what we are unable
at this time to express in words we
desire 70 express in writing; and at
this time 1 have the most distinguished
honor, sir, for and in behalf of the SEN
ators, TO present to you this gavel,
which it has been the design TO SO
construct as to represent the great
principle we stand for-gold and silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1. [ have pride,
sir, in stating that all the material OF
which this gavel is composed is from
our own dear state. The gold is from
our own mines, the silver from our
own hills, the mahogany from our own
mountains, and the workmanship is
from the hands of our own experts.
Il now, sir, present to you, with the
compliments and the best wishes and
the best good will of every senator, this
gavel, representing the great principle
of 16 to 1, with Utah wood, Utah gold
and Utah silver, and with it express to
you the best wishes of your brother
and sister members upon this floor
And while this is a material evidence
to you of our confidence and esteem,
we design that it shall convey to your
children the fact so well known to us
all and that must be apparent to you.
AS President Nebeker received the
handsome tribute, he seemed greatly
moved by the incident The presenta-
ton took him by surprise, but his
speech in reply was easy and felicitous.
He said:
Friends and Senators:-There are
times in every ones life when words
are wholly inadequate to express his
and this is one of those occa-

nation by the reha bilitation of silver.
Upon that issue the people of this state
have sent the senators here to act for
them.
I'VE cannot now state what the re-
suits of our labors will be. We can
hope that they Will be for the pros
perity of the people. Whatever mis-
takes have been made have been of
the mind and not of the heart. No one
can question the honor of this body
over which you, sir, have had the honor
to preside; and it is a peculiar incident
that when we had chosen one OF our
members to preside. there remained
upon the floor Of this body, under
woman suffrage, an exact ratio of 16
men to l woman. and that member of
our body who represents the gold has,
by her acts ard by her abilities, shown
herself worthy TO stand in that posi-
ton.
And now, sir, it has become our
pleasant duty at this hour to do honor
unto him who has esta blished our wis
dom in selecting him for a presiding
officer. There is no disposition, sir, on
the part of this body to bestow upon
their presiding officer any f1attery or
use of any words that are not the
words of truth. But the public con-
cedes, and the members of this body
do know, that there has not, in all the
history of our great commonwealth,
been a presiding officer who could pos
sibly have been less prejudiced in his
rulings. more fair in all his decisions,
or possessed of greater executive ability
in Siispatching the public business that
was in his hands.
You. sir, have discharged your very
important and very weighty duties to
the entire satisfaction Of everyone of
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-14

sions. I thank you sincerely for this
token of your respect, and can only
say that my association with you has
been such that l can have only the
highest regard for each and every one
of you.
From my association with you l have
been convinced that we have all been
prompted by the same motives, namely,
to advance the material industries of
this state and promote the welfare of
our people. We at times have differed
as to the methods in accomplishing
these results, but at no time, / think
can any senator be charged with hav-
ing but the purest motives in this re-
spect. 1 hope that we will always be
true to the cause which this token of
your friendship and esteem expresses
of Is to land thereby insure the flu
ture happiness of the. people of this
state.
We are bound together here by ties
that cannot be broken. l believe that
we will be bound closer by criticisms
that may be offered upon our course,
but I hope that when our record goes
to the people they will find no cause
for cenSure.
This is one of the occasions that 1
shall always look back to with pride.
In presiding over this body, as has
been stated by the senator, it has been
my aim to preside in an impartial man
ner, and if I have failed in any partic-
ular it has been certainly of the head
and not of the heart. Again, fellow
senators. l thank you.
The gavel is a very handsome and
unique piece of workmanship The
handle is of ebonized Utah maple,
trimmed with silver Half way up the
handle is a golden beehive surrounded
by wreath of sagebrush leaves. I'm
derneath the head and at the end of
the handle proper is a bunch of sego
lilies in bud and flower, which are true
TO nature. On the head of the gavel
are four daisies with silver petals and
gold center-representin the 10 to T.
idea On the apex is a reduced fac
smile. of the great seal of the state.
The head of the gavel is almost entire
~ covered with silver open work in
most tasteful designs and the instru-
ment reflects the work of the true
artist. 1t was made by E. J. Swaner.
One side of the head bears the inscrip-
ton: Presented to Hon. Aquila Nebeker
of the senate, Utah state legis-
ature. second session, 1897 and on the |
other are engraved the names of the |
members of the senate.

Presentation to Speaker Perkins.

A very pleasant incident, illustrative of
the harmony and good feeling existing be-
tween the speaker and members of the
house. occurred Just before the close of
the afternoon session Speaker Perkins
was presented with a gavel of chaste and
beautiful design and workmanship and
the presentation speech came from a
member of the Republican minority.
Kenner addressed the chair an an
nounced that there was a disposition on
the part of the house that the speaker
be deposed. and he believed also that
Mr.: Robinson had a communication to
make.
Speaker Perkins called Taylor to the
chair and Robinson took the floor. He
spoke of the good feeling that had ex-
listed between the members throughout
the session and said the hour was draw
ing near when it was fitting that they
should give some expression of their
sentiment of friendship. Upon the pre-
siding officer there had rested a great
tribute to his ability and. desired to
thank him for his courtesy to the mi
nority. He felt proud. he said, that the
majority had delegated TO him the pleas
the esteem entertained by the members of
the house for their presiding officer
Mr.. Robinson then held UP to view a
beautiful gavel, of native mahogany and
maple, overlaid and ornamented in silver
and gold In eloquent words he pointed
out the significance of the design. re-
ferrlng particularly TO the daisy, with its
16 silver petals and its heart of gold.
symbolical of the true ratio of 16 to l.
Mr.. Speaker" said he in conclusion.
lit is with pangs OF regret that we
think of the time when you will let this
gavel fall for the last time in this SEES
sion. for it viii part warm and honest
friends, but when the final gavel falls to
call US to silence i'll this life. we w:Il
look forward with an implicit trust end
faith to the Great Speaker of us ali.
hoping to find our names engraved upon
his gavel. as they are upon this. and
that he will call us together again i'm
the great hereafter.
Upon the conclusion of his remarks he
presented the gavel to Speaker Perkins
amid the applause of the house.
The speaker was deeply affected and
confessed that he was unable to reply
to the eloquent speech of the members of
the minority. He had found it easy to
preside over this body he said. because
he had recognized that he had been
