Does England Command the Seas ?

After hearing 30 much lately Of Great
Britain's sea power. there Is variety In
what Sir CHARLES dixie has to say In Cas-
sier's Magazine of her naval weakness"
This phrase, of course, Is relative. For
example, England's fleet is stronger than
any other, and aims to be, at least, equal to
the fleets of France and Russia combined.
Yet. as Sir CHARLES dixie shows, her su-
periority might not be great enough for her
practically to carry her frontier, as she de-
sires, to an enemy's own ports, and there
completely blockade him, or force him to
come out and fight when she wishes. She
needs, too, an enormous force Of cruisers, be-
cause the greater part ofthe worlds shipping
Is hers, and must be protected. A battle
fleet must also nave cruisers for its scouts,
while there are Geographic cables ana
coaling stations to be defended. Yet Eng
land has mo such cruisers as. for example,
the second Esmeralda, which belongs to
Chill, or even as some Of the new cruisers
| Of the United States" the Brooklyn and
Columbia being mentioned.
But a point that gives more anxiety is
that. in order to fight French ships in the
Mediterranean. the British war vessels
should be able to steam further, and hence
to carry more coal. The Mediterranean
| problem Is serious from the fact that
France has the advantage of a coast line
| there, and Sir CHARLES DILKE admits the
rapidity of French mobilization, contrast.
Ing H.. In fact, with the slowness OF the
English. The naval aim would be, In the
case of such a port as Toulon, VIRTUALLY to
blockade at a distance that Is. either to
shut In or to be able to fight at once il the
enemy come out. Butthis policy requires a
clearer superiority of strength in ironclads
than we possess"
Another source of anxiety Is that France
and Russia combined may find naval al.
lies. Sir CHARLEs dixie cannot imagine
Austria being among them, n Italy,
too, would be more likely TO be a friend
than a foe but the Italian ships are get
ting out of date. However, 1.-TWO OF their
ironclads and their dockyards and naval
stations would be a set.off in our favor"
But Germany's alliance with Russia and
France Is conceivable, and Sir CHARLES
dixie, therefore, cannot consider England
safe until her battleships are superior In
strength to those of these three great pow
ers combined. She is not superior to such
q combination to-day.
In the Mediterranean the French have
ample docks for repairing ships damaged in
an engagement, and stores Of reserve am

mckinley Did Not Agree with Him.

MCIAtnIey Diu NOt ~
From the Ns,C York Tribune Of June 49, 1888
Ex.Mayor Low, who remained on the renee
throughout the campaign OF 1854 ana sont I"
meagre contribution to the local itepuo'e"h
Committee q day or two after election, u ieeS
deliberate in the present canvass. TIC mas an
nounced with commendAblo alacrity that tho
platform Of the Republican convention is not In
accord with the speeches which he delivered In
SARATOGA last September, and again In BROOK
/ Ign last February. and consequently that no
cannot support IL. 1t Ia. Of course. possible that
Mr.. Mckinley and his associates OF tho Commit
tee on Platform did not pay sufficient attention
to MIR. Lows two speeches on tho suo1oci OF tno
tariff. 1t may have been Il serious error u )uuE-
ment on their part to ignore the young eN-
Mayors eloQuenco on these two occasions, ana
to construct y straightforward platform OF Iheir
own in favor Of protection Of American Industries
and In opposition to tho freo-trade tendencies
OF tho Democratic party. Whether they acted
wisely or unwisely In discarding the juRglery or
phrases which Mr. Low would have considered
~statosmRnlikc, 1t is at least consoling TO know
that he 10 not to DO n mystery man in Brooklyn
politics this time. Four ycnrs aro he would not
open his lips from June to November to let the
people OF his town know whether their Mayor
was n Republican or not. His vote was finally
cast for Mr.. Blaine, and his little campaign sub
scription followed il; but his deliberate and in
applicable silence had nisled thousands of
voters and done much harm 10 the Republican
cause. The open hostility OF Mr.. Low to the
party this year will be less mischievous than
his treachcrous silence and carefully concealed
support proved four years ago.
There was a time when we regarded Mr.. Low
as a man Of unusual prominence in the politics
OF the future. He received hearty support from
these columns when he was the leader OF the re-
form movement in Brooklyn. Even when his
Biaine.C!evolan canvass was working harm to
the party which had elected and reelected him
on his own platform We RETAINED from speak
ing unkindly of him, prcferring to put the most
charitable construction on his incomprehGnsiblc
conduct. The time has now come when Mr.. Low
should be dismissed rather more brusquely. The
reason assigned by him for remaining neutral in
1884 and at last Gepositing a silent vote for Mr.
Blaine without aiding him in the least, was su.
preventative consclentiousness. He had been
elected Mayor on a non-partisAnp platform, and
did not consider IL proper for him to let AM body
know how he was going 10 vote, although allow
ing every body in his town to suspect that he
distrusted Mr.. Blaine.
Conscient!ousnCss. in like manner, impels him
cause Its platform is not in accord with two
OF his speeches. Mr.. Lows aspirations ought
not hereafter to lead him outside OF Sunday
school. Ho is designed by nature as a frstrate
Sunday school politician.

Out of tho Question.

Tho independent nomination Of Mr.. SETH
Low by the Citizens Union will be notice
that the hoped for union OF the opponents
of tho Organized Democracy is out Of The
question. If Mr.. Low should be SO nonli-
mated and then should accept, his election
would bn likewise out Of the question.
1t is idle to suppose that the Republican
party can be rallied to the support OF a imam
hostile to it in his heart and by his word,
and nominated by Its enemies with every
circumstance Of insult. Nothing remains
for the Republicans but to proclaim their
platform, name their leader, and 30. at
least, perform their part in tho great ma
tional battle.
While the chance OF victory will be, Of
course, less than II the anti.Tammany
union had been complete, It will by no
means be sill hit. The ilimsy issue and false
pretcnccs for which Mr.. Low would stand
would tend constantly to rcduce his
strength to insignificance. And for this
s~alutary process there would yet DO time.

the Alabama claims, England's offence was
that Of allowing the escape Of vessels from
her ports which thercupon proceeded to
make war upon our commerce, as they were
fitted out to do. But what vessel, consti-
tuting an armed expedition, thus escaped
from our ports, md was used against Span
ish commerce., or made war against Spain
Certainly we never recovered damages for
blockade running by commercial vessels
that cleared from Nassau, the Bcrmudas or
other British territory, even though passen.
gers who entered the Confederate service
may have been on the vessels.
Our Government, we'll aware Of The obli-
cations of neutrals, most careful and siren
uous to fulfil them, and stimulated also by
the desire to make Its neutrality statutes,
like Its other laws, respected, has been
consplcuously active in enforcing these
statutes. 1t has taken UP complaints
lodged by the Spanish authorities, and
acted oven upon vague suspicious of
Intent to 6libuster, going often upon a
wild.goose chase. The cases Of n genuine
armed expedition which has escaped from
our shores for the lack OF due diligence to
prevent it ARE few indeed. Spain, instead
of hoping TO find m Offset in such cases for
our claims, would do better to try to have
these claims obliterated hs part of an ar
rangement for selling all her property and
rights in the island to the Cuban patriots.

Only One

The various anti-Tammany organizations,
with the Republicans OF New York city at
their head, can reasonably agree upon sun
dry points Of political policy as a basis for
this years canvass.
The Citizens Union wants the battle
against the Fourteenth street Wigwam to
be wagcd for good government" and mon
partisunship," and for nothing else. An
other Of the organizations invited by the
Republicans to the conference to be held
on Monday evening calls for indy
Ing warfare against "Sheehanism," or
tho imposition upon a local organization
of a leader who was only recently a resi-
dent of another and distant city. A third,
also an organization of the Independent
Democracy, insists that the war against
Tammany can only be carried on to victory
upon the excise issue. Probably each of
the other political organizations which
will be represented at Mondays conference
will have a plan of campaign against Tam
many original with itself.
These various issues may or may not have
anyme"it in them. II there were more non
partisans in New York the Citizens Union
strategy would work but the probability is
that the part!sans continue in the vast
majority. If In an electorate Of more than
five hundred thousand American citizens
tie question of the duration of residence
OF the leader of Tammany in New York
city is OF such overwhelming interest and
Importance TO the voters that they will
subordinate all other questions to it In
order to reblhe the intruder, thai issue
would prevail. If tho excellent re-

the winning card. The man who Jumped

headlong Opposition untitled him for con.
ference, for instance.
On issue, however, the sentiment of the
Greater New York has already been tested.
1t is the issue of opposition to Organism.
In the territory of the enlarged New York
the opponents of Organism mustered a
majority of $4,000 in last years election,
and Tammany was stronger at that time
than it is to-day, because it had never
been defeated before in New York in a ma
tional election. All that is now necessary
isto repeat the plan Of campaign of last
year, the Republicans and the honest I'M
Organized Democrats working together

The Claims of Spain.

According to the statements attributed
to Mr.. CALDERoN CARLISLE, counsellor of
the Spanish Legation at Washington, who
has visited Madrid lately, Spain will press
her claims to indemnity from us for 6libus.
tering, and they will overbalance the Amer.
lean claims against her for damages to
property in Cuba
Spain would naturally seek an Offset for
the heavy compensation she must make to
our citizens for injuries to person and
property inflicted In Cuba. But these In.
juries do not stand on the same footing
with damage done to her through blockade
running.
The Madrid Government has refused to
acknowledge a state of public war on the
Island, so that it 10 clearly liable for IN.

and such injuries have been widespread,

trary arrests OF American citizens and their
confinement beyond the periods fixed by

rious, and can be established before any
Claims Commission.
On the other hand, Spain cannot hold our

munition; while, on the other hand, the
difficulties Of the British In maintaining
large establishments at Gibraltar are great,
and Malta Is in the wrong place for US"
The difficulties of supplying the feet In
that sea are also obvious.
Then, as to the personnel, England IL
short In lieutenants, short In bluciackets,
short In engineers and stokers." Sir
points out that in 1919 there
were over $4,000 men serving under the
Admiralty although, it Is true, those were
war times. He thinks that the manuuyres
OF 1896 show that the Admiralty has given
up the possibility Of blockade, and has sub
stituted for it observation Of the fleets OF
the two enemies, which Is risky, because
hostile fleets may effect a junction.
Then there arc various doubts to be con-
sidercd ms well as the acknowledged sources
OF weakness. Thus Sir CHARLES dixie
surmiscs, for various reasons, that the
French have better high explosive shells
than the English, which would be a most
Important advantage. lie also holds that
England has not complete enough control

Secrecy About Our Coast Derences

The order from the war Department
which forbids the visiting and inspecting
OF forts by unauthorized persons is sound
in principle and timely.
New defences are now going UP all along
the seaboard and the lakes, and their char.
acter and plans must not be made known to
possible enemies. The former Chief Of
Engineers, Gen. CASEY, carried the policy
OF secrecy to what sometimes seemed an
extreme. Not only would he refuse some.
times to give information of a very gen.
eral character In regard to defensive works
projected, but he was occasionally mys-
terious or altogether mum regarding facts
already substantially known to the pub.
lie. Yet his was the policy of prudence,
since oven the elements for fair inferences
may be OF great use to an enemy, though
eyact facts are not known.
In European countries the Importance Of
Keeping secret the frontier and other de.
fence systems is we'll understood and has
long been insisted upon rigidly in practice.
Perhaps until lately we have not had much
that was worth keeping concealed, except
on the principle OF covering up weakness;
but all that is 10Y changed, and the intro
duction everywhere In our coast offences Of
disappearing guns makes it the more pos
sible to guard we'll the secrets.
From time to time it is officially an
nounced exactly how many guns and NOR.
tars are required for our coast defencc: how
many, with their calibrcs, are built or
building; how many are assigned to
each port, and how many are in place.
With this degree Of Information fur
nished, there can be no ground of com.
plant that exact knowledge OF the sites
OF batteries and Of their surroundings is
not thrown open to the public. Care has
already been taken for some time in re-
stricting visits to certain new forts and as
to giving information of what they contain,
30 that the general order just issued only
lays down with precision the rules for car.
rying out a well.established policy. Patri-
otto citizens will cooperate, so far as they
can. in carrying out these rules.
