AT COLLEGE STREET HALL.

Large and Fashionable Audience Ad-
 dressed By Thomas Nelson Page.
 In College street hall, last night, Thomas Nelson Page, the author, a graduate of Washington and Lee uni- versity and of the Law school of the University of Virginia, addressed a large and fashionable audience, under the auspices of the Phi Beta Kappa society of Yale university.
 Mir Page is best known through his charming negro dialect stories and es- says on the south. The collection of stories entitled Tn Ole Virginia" was the first of MT. Pages published works This has been followed by the dialect poems 'Befo' de War" "Elsket and Other Stories" Pastime Stories,'' etc.
 The speaker was last night introdue- ed by Professor Arthur M. Wheeler He had prepared an historical lecture but gave only brief outline of the growth of Anglo Saxon civilization from the time of Columbus up to that of Walter Raleigh" He then read sev- eral stories from his published works which were much enjoyed and fully ap- preciatet1

armored cruisers, We are not only carrying on an offensive warfare, but we are reaching out to tho Philippines, The entire theory of defensive navy on which our present navy was formed, has been changed by this conflict with Spain, and, being changed, the new conditions should be promptly met by congress-"
 When General Tracey's attention was called to the report that he might go to the Philippines as civil governor general, he said there never had been thought of this move except in the vivid imagination of some newspaper writer The ex-seoretary strongly ap- proves the energy of all departments of the government in coping with the war emergency and deprecates the loose gossip and criticism which seeks to force aggressive movement without regard to that mature consideration which the momentous character of the movements require.

A HORSES TRIP.

Last Saturday evening fine gray horse, good for all round work, which had been let out to take a drink in the yard at AS Gregory street, took @ notion to go on an exploiting trip and walked out of the yard and trotted off. The animal was traced as far as the vicinity of Springside farm and from there to the neighborhood of Winter green lake, where track of it was lost. As will be seen by an advertisement in another column the owner offers a reward for the return of the house to AS Gregory street. A mark of identifi- cation is that of cut which has healed on the animals body between the fore legs, and on which the hair has be- gun to grow out again.

Ex-sEcRETARY OF NAVY TRACY.
Believes American Ships Are Meeting
 All Expectations.

All expectations.
 Washington, May 1S.--Ex- Secretary of the Navy Tracey of New York, un- der whose administration of the navy department many of the battleships and cruisers of our new navy were projected and built, was at the navy department to-day meeting his old as- sociates and talking with the officials on the status of the present war. Gen eral Tracey was asked if our ships in the ir present active service met the expectations eh had of them when the new navy was being developed.
 ITO judge from Manila, they are meeting every expectation" said Gen eral Tracey And yet believe it to be the plain duty of congress to author ize immediately the construction of six large armored cruisers of the most modern type even larger than the cruisers New York and Brooklyn. These should be ordered in addition to the ships authorized by the regular naval appropriation bill, Now that we are called upon to carry on offensive warfare. the need of armored cruisers is imperative, and the lack of them is at present a serious handicap.
 "Our new navy was developed on the idea of being a defensive navy, not an offensive one. It was thought that if we ever had war it would be with one of the great naval powers, capable of throwing their vast naval armoa- ments against our shores. To meet this we proceeded on the hope of hav- ing a navy to protect our long stretch of country and incidentally to scout the ocean and cause all the damage possi- ble to the commerce destroyers which most of the European powers possess. For that reason we built our battle- ships and our unarmored cruisers. The hattleship is essentially for defensive purposes as it lacks the speed essential to carry on effective offensive war, al- though, of course, 1t is palpable. ad- jpnet in any line of warfare-The ar mored cruisers New York and Brooklyn are fine ships of their type and are ex- actly fitted for offensive work.
 The combine the features of heavy armor and protected decks of an from clad, together with the speed of a cruiser, but what we need is more of them. The strength of the Spanish squadron now in southern waters lies in the fact that it has this type of armored cruisers, with speed and pro- X tective armor suitable for offensive work. Under the new conditions which have arisen 1t seems certain that con- 1. gress will provide at least six of these
