The Oregon for Honolulu.

The three ships of the Indiana class are
technically known as steel, sea-going, coast
line battleships. That is, while their pri-
mary purpose is to serve along the coasts,
they are capable of going long distances at
sea. AS a fact. the Indiana and Massachu-
sets have cruiscd hitherto up and down
the Atlantic scaboard, and at no very great
distance from it, and the Oregon up and
down our Pacific coast.
But it has always been understood that
all our coast-line battleships would be
easily capable of proceeding to Halifax, to
Bermuda, to the Bahamas. to Jamaica, or
TO st. Lucia, should we have trouble with
England, and also that they would be
guardships for Hawaii. While the normal
roal supply of the Indiana class is only o
tons, the full bunker capacityis $40 tons;
30 they nave all the steaming radius which
vessels of their type and purpose need.
The projected trip of the Oregon to Homo
lulu is accordingly Of interest in various
ways. On her trial record she was faster
than either of her sister ships, showing
11,111 maximum indicated horse power
and 1910 knots speed, against 10,403
horse power and 1921 knots for the Massa-
chusetts and 9,73s horse power and 15.547
knots for the Indiana. The voyage to
Hawaii will he an interesting test of tho
ecagoing qualities of the class to which the
Oregon belongs.
OF course this powerful vessel is enor-
mously superior in fighting qualities to the
Philadelphia and Marion, which for a time
she supplements and doubtless will soon
relieve. The Philadelphia has no armor
ard no guns bigger than the 6-inch,
while the Marion is IN old-time wood
en- craft. a line-of-battle ship with 49,
inch armor and 13-inch n is, of course,
OF u wholly different class from either, and,
we may add, incomparably more powerful
than the Naniwa or any vessel that Japan
has at command.
But the Oregon is not too much of a ship
for Hawaii. This is to be our great Pacific
outpost hereafter, and deserves q first-class
naval force. The days have long passed
since an American Administration left it
with 10 ships at all.

Tanro in Q Fix.

A great deal has been said about the pro-
posed visit Of NJ. FELIX FAURB to the
Gar; but, after all, the project may be
abandoned. Emperor WILLIAM is the
trouble.fet He wants to go, too, and M.
FAuRE doesn't want to meet him. The
German Emperor, It is reported, wrote q
letter to the Gear, telling how greatly he
would be pleased II his arrival at st. Peters
burg "could coincide with that Of the
President of the French Republic"
Immediately on receipt Of this letter
NICHOLAS II. sent for the French Ambassa-
dor, NJ. DE MoNTEBBLLo, and received him
in the castle Of Peterhof, where he showed
him the Kaiser's letter. MoNTEBELLo was
astounded. He declared that the thing was
impossible. That was also the Cars opin-
lon, and he advised the French Ambassador
to bring tho Incident to the attention
of President FAURE. THAI very evening
M. DE MoNTEBELLo started for Paris. In
order not to hurt the feelings of the German
Emperor h report was circulated that
personal motives, or, rather, family affairs,
formed the sole reason for M~oNTEBELLo's
return to Paris. Naturally enough, the news
which the Ambassador broughtthere put NJ.

certainly be furious II his advances were
openly repealed. 1t was necessary to remove
the difficulty with gentleness and delicate
handling. The Government in official
notices announced that the much-talked-of
visit vas merely a project and nothing
more. At all events 1t could only occur
during the parliamentary holidays, and
moreover NJ. FAURE had an engagement to
meet the citizens of Dauphine in August.
Under the circumstances the Cars reply
was made easy. He simply regretted that
1t was impossible for him to comply with
the desire of his imperial cousin.
But WILLIAM would not be foiled. He laid
his plans to capture the President in Ger
man waters, as it was expected that the
trip would be made by way Of the Baltic.
To avoid this danger the French Govern
ment reported that the voyage would be
made via Odessa.
This brings us to the cartoon Of CARAN
D'AcHE, in which NJ. FAURB, on route for
st. Petersburg via Alaska, meets the i'm
perial "Wild Bill" hunting seals
1t is very likely that tho Kaiser still
holds In reserve some surprises for the

Mr.. SHEEHAN denies some of the particu-
lars of Mr.. DURLACHER's report of his inter-
view with him as to the intentions of Tam
many Hall with reference to the coming
municipal campaign, but he confirms its
accuracy as to the main point by saying
hat he still favors the Chicago platform.
That is a frank declaration. and it was
necessary for Mr.. SHEEHAN that he should
make 1t. Tammany Hall leaders nave dis
covered that the proposed childish politics
of evading the Chicago platform, through

gent community. Mr.. SHEEHAN is too
clever a politician not to discover that any
attempt to play a trick so transparent
would make the Tammany campaign life.
less and ridiculous. The Bryanite Democ-
racy Is aggressive everywhere else, and
they will not consent to hide their heads in
New York alone at the behest of gold
Democrats whose complete overthrow all
along the line is essential to the %continu-
ance of the Bryanite domination of the or
ganization of the Democratic party.
It has been evident from the first, there
fore, that the springtime scheme to hide
away Tammany's animating Organism for
the temporary purpose of seducing gold
Democrats into assisting 1t to get control
of the Greater New York. was mere politi-
cal child's play. 1t did not gull Tammany's
Bryanite hordes for a moment. They knew
they were the masters of that organization,
and hat when the time came for 1t to lay
down It's course in the municipal cam
paign they would DO the pilots.
The only people who were deceived by
the cheap device were the gold Democrats
who patched 1t together at the expense of
the honesty of their professed convictions;
and some of them are still the victims of
that self.deception. These deluded politi-
clans belong to the faction or clique known
rs National Democrats" who hocked all
by themselves last year, and were more ex-
acting in their professed gold principles
than the Democrats who assisted In e~lecting
MCKINLEY as the only feasible way of beat
Ing Organism. They are still hopeful that
Eammany Kali will give them a pretext to
vote to put tho Greater New York under
Organism. by pretending to hide away the
ugly thing.
