NEEDS OF THE NAVY.
Speech by Assistant Secretary RoOse-
welt to Society of Engineers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-The annual ban
quet Of the Society of Naval and Mechani-
cal Engineers was held tonight at Del
monicos. About one hundred members and
guests were present. Col. E. A. Stevens
was the POSTMASTER and among the guests
were: Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Theodore Roosevelt and A. F. Yarrow, the
English torpedo-boat builder. Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt made the principal
speech, and was applauded when he men
toned the needs of the department with
which he is connected. In part he said: I'm
upbuilding the navy we have to take into
account not only the military needs of the
country, but also the possibilities imposed
upon us by the necessity of proper econo-
many of US would like. We need large
increase in the force both of officers and of
enlisted men, but the most crying need of
the navy az the moment is the need or frst-
class dry docks. Next comes the need for
an ample quantity of smokeleSs powder and
proJectiles We need a powerful fighting
navy-a navy including an ample number
of torpedo boats an ample force of sea go
ing battle ships, and also armored cruisers,
which should both possess endurance. and,
In ADDITION, carry an abundance or rapid
fire guns, our deficiency in torpedo boats
being particularly marked.
Unless we are willing to be put in the
contemplate attitude of those who buster
without being able TO back up their words
about the Monroe doctrine is not sham.
To prove this means that we must have a
powerful navy. If we annex Hawaii We
shall need an adequate navy to enforce our
position on the Pacific If we do not annex
Hawaii, we shall need much larger navy,
as Hawaii cannot stand alone, and some
other power must necessarily take 1t and
that moment menace our Whole Pacific

HONEST-MONEY LEAGUE
GOLD-STANDARD DEMOCRATS WILL
CONTINUE THEIR FIGHT.
VIII Not Rest Until the Chicago Plat
form, Its Hcresies and Supporters
Lie in a Political Grave.

NEW YORK, Nov IA meeting of the
executive committee of the Democratic
Honest Money League, under whose aus
pices Bourke Cochran stumped the country
for William Mckinley during the late pres
idential campaign, was held here tonight.
The meeting was prompted by the claims
of the Bryan Democrats that the results
of the last election were manifest indorse-
ment of the principles which were defeated
in 1896
Major Byrne, one of the members of the
committee, said: I'VE have unfurled the
flag and will continue the fight, in the four
teen States we represent, on the same edu-
cational lines which we pursued last year,
to protect this country and the party
against the free-silver heresy We will seek
to prevent the return of a Senate and
House in 1898 which will be favorable to free
silver, just as we succeeded in doing in
Maryland at the last election
An effort was made to pass a resolution
petitioning the President to take some ac-
ton on the currency question. A. A. Alling
opposed the resolution bitterly. He held
that as Democrats, the league had no right
to ask a Republican President to do any
thing. If the President acted of his own
league should accept that action. He de-
clared that he was Disguised with McKin-
leyism; that he was a Democrat and was
not prepared to leave the party. His atti-
tude made a deep impression on the other
members of the committee, and the resolu-
ton did not prevail.
In spite of Mr.. Alling, who protested
against II, on the same grounds as those
he urged against the first resolution, an
other resolution was offered and adopted,
pledg1ng the league to renew and continue
the fight against the Chicago platform
and it's advocates until it is demonstrated
that its vicious heresies have no place in
American life and rest in American
soil;' denying the practicability of bimetal-
lism national orr international; asserting
that safety is to be found only in adher-
ence to the gold standard and promising to
work for the election of senators and repre-
sentatiVeS, and in 1900 for administration
pledged to maintain that standard.
A subcommittee 10 draft an address to
the American people was appointed. This
address will probably be made public late
Sunday night.
