nFvJAMrN TRACY.

"Our new navy was developed on the
idea of being a defensive navy. not an Of
fensiye one. 1t was thought that II we
ever had a war IL would be with one OF
the great naval powers. capable of
throwing their vast naval armaments
against our shores. To meet this on
slaught we proceeded on the theory of
having a navy to protect our long
stretch Of coast, and incidentally to
scout the ocean and cause all the dam
age possible to the commerce which
most of the naval powers possess. For
that reason we built our battleships and
our unarmored cruisers.
The battleship Is essentially for de-
fensive purposes, as IL lacks the speed
essential to carry on effective offensive
war. although, of course, II IL valuable
adjunct in any line OF warfare. The un-
armored cruisers, such as the Mime
apols and Columbia, were designed
mainly as scouts and as commerce de-
stroyers. Now, however, we find our
selves at war with a nation which has
little commerce to be destroyed, so that
the unarmored cruiser has little work to
accomplish In the line OF its original pur-
pose as a commerce destroyer, although
valuable as an adjunct In any line. In
short, we are carrying on what was not
expected, an offensive war, and as a re-
suit we ought to have the ships capable
OF executing offensive warfare.
"The armored cruisers New York and
Brooklyn are fine ships OF their type,
and are exactly fitted for this line of the
offensive work. They combine the fea-
lures of heavy armor. and protected
decks of an ironclad, together with the
speed OF cruiser. but what we need is
more OF them. The strength of the
Spanish squadron now In southern
waters lies in the fact that IL has this
type OF armored cruisers, with speed and
protective armor. suitable for offensive
work. Under the new conditions which
have arisen IL seems plain that congress
should provide at least six of these
srmored cruisers. We are not only carry
ing on an offensive warfare. but we are
reaching out to the 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 Tracy's attention was
called to the report that he might go 10
the Philippines as civil governor gem
cral. he laughtngly dismissed the sug-
gestion and said there never had been n
thought OF this move except In the vivid
imagination of n newspaper writer. Tho
ex-secretary strongly approves the
energy OF all departments OF the gov
ernment In coping with the present war
emergency and deprecstes the loose
gossip and criticism which seeks to force
aggressive movement without regard to
that mature consideration which the
momentous character Of the movements
requires.

AT THENORTH END.
They Had the Horse Trading Fever Note'
From Capitol Hill.

One OF tho worst horse frades reported In
this part OF the city in n long time was re-
ported TO police of1cer yesterday. Two
men wno had charge of team used in tho
peddling OF starch were the victims. They,
IL snuss 90 confessed. had the trading fever
bad, fer as they went along one of the prin-
cipai avenues of Capitol hill they saw a
hebrew peddler leading n fine specimen Of
horse flesh, judging from rear view. The
desire TO swap their. own critter. for IL became
very strong, 90. they asked the pcddler what
he would take in cash for his steed besides
their horse. but the peddler:was not disposed
70 sell, and this only whetted the mems ap-
petite for the trade. One Of them offered
$40 and the horse attached to the starch team
for the new horse, but the other thought the
cash offer too big, so he told the peddlcr that
he would give $25 aud the horse attached to
the starch team If the bargain was closed at
once. Now, the .peddler's horse was all
right AZ long as any one lead 1t by the head,
but IL was worse than a Spanish fleet for
running away when its head was let alone.
The starch dealers did not know this, how
ever. and after finishing the trade the peddler
suddenly disappeared. After q while the
purchasers caught on to the poor trade they
had made, and they sought 10 find the peddler
with the aid Of policeman. The peddler
was not 10 be found, as he suddenly left for
Boston. The officer could do nothing, so the
traders had to pay man dollar to lead the
horse down town.
