ENGLAND WOULD WIN.
France is No Match For Her Say
Naval Authorities.

Washington, Oct 29-The naval au-
thorities Of the United States do not ex-
pect war between England and France.
but If it does come 1t is their opinion
that the result would be similar to that
between the United States and Spain.
While France has the larger army, the
fighting Will be done at sea, where Eng
land is superior not only to France but
to any other nation. She has twice as
many battleships of the first class as
France, three times as many of the sec
Ond class and five times as many of the
third class.
Great Britain has 21 first class ar
mored cruisers, while France has only
4; she has % first class protected cruiS-
ers, while France has 5, and 4S second
class protected cruisers, while France
has Is. Great Britain has IL second
class cruisers and France has 6. She
has 81 third class protected cruisers and
France has II. OF the third class,
partly protected, Great Britain has %
and France none. of the sIoop class
however has IS third class cruisers,
with no corresponding rating in the
British service. In the line Of coast de-
Tense, non-seagoing ironclads, Great
Britain has II and France II. Of the
heavy armOred gunboats Great Britain
has 40 and France II.
Great Britain has SO torpedo boats
and France Is. She has 95 torpedo boat
destrOyers, while France has 8. She has
81 torpedo boats of class 1; France has
so. OF class she has 80 and France
France As.
A general standardization shows the
following: Great Britain has SO line yes
sells, 153 cruisers, so coast defense and
3l3 torpedo craft France has so line
"A cruisers, "a coast defense and 28S tor
pedo craft
Great Britain's armored cruisers are
the finest affOat. They were no better
than the New York was when she was
launched six years ago, but have been
greatly improved since, both in their
number and effectiveness. The most
formidable battIeships in the world also
belong to Great Britain, although they
are not much superior to the Iowa, the
Illinois, the Kearsarge, the Oregon and
others of our navy. The most powerful
battleship in the English navy is a bat
tleship 400 feet in length, rs feet beam.
20 feet inches draught, Is knots speed
coal capacity for 2,2Oo tons and displace-
ment of 1890 tons. It's armament
consists of four 12-inch wire wound
guns, twelve 6-inch, sixteen 4-inch and a
number of machine and rapid fire guns.
The most powerful ships in the French
navy are the St Louis and Charlie
magne, each having a displacement of
II 260 tons and a speed of II knots
Their armament is not up to several of
the battleships Of our navy.

WHALES OFF MAINE COAST.
After an Absence of Several Years
They Are Coming Back.

Gouldsboro, Me-, Oct. 29.-After an abb
sence of many years the whales are
coming back to these eastern shores.
All summer the bay here has been
SWarming with herring, and, now and
then, schools of mackerel and these
small fish have been followed by whales,
PROPOSES and surgeons. Recently a
big whale was encountered by fishermen
off SchOOdic, but it was not captured.
A harpOon was thrown into the giant
fish, but the fishermen were not able to
hold it, and the whale got away after
having nearly capsized their boat.
The other day when the little steamer
Ruth was making it's evening trip from
Bar Harbor large whale came up near
the boat to breathe and SpOuted the wa
ter clear over the pilot house, giving the
frightened passengers on deck a severe
wetting. 1t was an enormous finback
whale, the largest ever seen in these
waters.
The last whale to be captured on this
coast was killed by an old whaler, Eben
BIckford, about twenty-five years ago.
The appearance of whales off this coast
the last summer is thought by the fish
ermen to indicate their return to these
waters, and the occupation of killing
whales may be again followed as extern
sively as it was thirty years ago, when
thousands of dollars were made at the
business.
One day last week a gigantic horse
mackerel entered the pound of Wood
Bros fish weir at Stave Island, and
made things extremely lively for a time
for the men employed there. One of the
men threw a small harpoon into it and
undertook to capture it, but the big
mackerel started out at a lively gait
about the pound with boat and men,
and gave them a dizzy whirl of several
minutes. The men could only sit down
in the boat and hang on for dear life
and were glad when the monster fish
finally broke away from them and went
out through their weir, sweeping every
thing before him. The fish was it is
SAID, about thirty feet long, and had
followed a school of small mackerel in
to the weir. Fishermen who saw it
say that it was the largest horse mack
erel ever seen on the coast.

his election, and before that he had
been one of the conspicuous and re-
spected mem bers. 1t would be fitting,
he thought, to bequeath something of
lasting significance when he stepped
from his high position, and he conclud-
ed that to replace the ordinary earth
heretofore from necessity used by that
which has been accorded a place in sa-
cred history with the last few days of
the Man of Sorrows would be an ap-
probable gift.
His brother knights have taken I'M
usual interest in the idea from its in
ception. Form and tradition are as
bread to their Masonic life, and any
thing which brings new sOlemnity to
their services makes the cOmmandery
all the dearer. They will arrange to
conform to the expected conditions i'm
posed by Commander Hitchcock, and
will be prepared to incorporate the idea
in the burial rites when the presenta-
ton is formally made. This will be
done upon his retirement as a farewell
tribute to his fellow knights.
