WASHINGTON, March 4.-Senator
Hale has received from Secretary Long
a reply to letter recently sent by him

affairs, requesting the secretary's opin-
ion upon the resolution introduced on
Washington's birthday by Senator
Morgan, instructing the committee TO
ascertain the feasibility Of constructing
and equipping within a years time a
warshtp to be called the George Wash
1ngton, and to be equal at least to any
In the world.
The secretary places the cost Of the
armor Of such vessel built under such
pressure at 100000, and of the ord
nance at $1,0OO,OOO. while he says that If
the construction were extended over a
period Of two years the cost of ord
nance could be reduced to 5000, 900 and
of armor to 81 GOO, O00
He says that the department could
do the work of armoring and equip
ping such vessel within years time.
but to do so it would have to have ade.
quate funds placed at it's disposal. He
ouoo ehoI tiiC WOULD
necessitate constant work day and
night. He thinks two years the brief
est period in which the work could be
economically done
Secretary Long concludes that It is
not practicable to construct the ship
contemplated in the time specified.
