Washington, Nov. 24-The special
naval board appointed to examine in
to the cost of armor making will
present to congress the details OF
plant which it has designed. 1t will
cost more than 100000 and will
have capacity of 5000 tons of armor
per annum, which is about the COM
bined capacity of the two armor plants
now supplying the navy. The pro-
oesses of manufacture will include the
very latest developments in the art
OF metallurgy. Superior, Wis, is
bidding for the location Of the plant
within it's limit.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has
submitted to the secretary of the navy
The report of Lieutenant Gibbons who
has charge Of the naval militia mat
tiers. The report speaks in high
terms of the operations of the naval
militia and is approved by Roose-
velt Commenting on the inspection
made by himself Roosevelt says: II
was greatly pleased with the zeal and
efficiency shown by the different Or
CARNATIONS which 1 personally Wis
tied (Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and
New York; and no less with the
showing made by most of the others,
as set forth in the accompanying re-
port. The different state organiza-
ticns are continually asking for old
vessels and as the supply is practically
exhausted it is hoped that congress
will authorize in the first place a sub
stitutiOn for the old paddle-wheeI
steamer Michigan on the lakes of a
small modern gun-boat, perhaps on
the Petrol type, to be devoted largely
to cruising with the lake militia or
CARNATIONS and overseeing them;
and furthermore, authorize the build
ing of a similar small cruiser on the
Pacific. and two on the Atlantic, to
be used for this same purpose With
these cruisers it will be possible to
bring the naval militia organizations
to a very high standard of efficiency,
and the cruisers themselves, of course,
would be available in an emergency"

SOME TIME.

Last night my darling as you slept
l thought l heard you sigh,
And to your little crib l crept,
And watched space thereby;
And then / stopped and kissed youl
brow,
For oh! l love you so
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you will know!
Some time when in a darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon a face
Calm in eternal sleep;
The voiceless lips, the wrinkled brow
The patient smile will show
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you will know!
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight
See, o my darling! how my tears
Are falling as | write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you will know.
