judcious appropriation by Congress. to the end
that an exhibit fairly representative OF the in
dustries and resources OF our country may be
made In an exposition which will illustrate the
worlds progress during the nineteenth century
That exposition Is intended to be the most i'm
portant and comprehensive Of the long series OF
international exhibitions, Of which our own at
Chicago was a brilliant example. and II is de-
sirable that the United States should make a
worthy exhibit Of American genius and skill and
their unrlvalled achievements In every branch Of
industry.
The present Immediately effective force Of the
Navy consists Of four battlc-ships Of the FIRST
class two Of the second and fcrty-eight other
vessels. ranging from armored cruisers to tor
pedo-b boats. There are under construction nve
battie-ships Of the first class. sixteen torpedo
boa q and one submarine boat No pro, ision has
yet been made for the arInor of three OF the nve
battle-ships as 1t has been impossible to obtain
II at the price fixed by Congress. It Is Of great
importance that Congress provide this armor. as
until then the ships are Of no fighting value
The present naval force. especially In view Of
its Increase by the ships now under construc-
ton. while not as large that Of few other
Powers Is o. formidable force: Its vessels are
the very best Of each type: and with the in
crease that should be made to II from time to
time In the future. and careful attention to
keeping II In q high state Of efficiency and re-
pair II Is well adapted to the necessities Of the
country.
INCREASED FACILITIES NEEDED
The great increase OF the Navy which has
taken place In recent years was justified by the
requirements for National defence. and has re-
ceived public appreciation. The time has now
arrived however. when this increase. to which
the country is committed should for time take
the form Of increased facilities commensurate
with the increase Of our naval vessels. 1t is an
unfortunate fact that there Is only one dock on
the Pacific Coast capable Of docking our largest
ships. and only one on the Atlantic Coast, and
that the latter has for the last six or seven
months been under repair. and therefore incap-
able Of use. Immediate steps should be taken
to provide three or four docks Of this capacity
on the Atlantic Coast at least one on the Pacific
Coast. and floating dock In the Gulf. This is
