stripped for battle.

The pilots were dropped at Cape
Henry on Friday night and the squad
ron proceeded to sea at a ten-knot
squadron speed. At sunset active battle
preparations were made. Ports were
closed wish steel covers, battle matches
covered, the main batteries of the ships
loaded and men sent to the guns with
instructions for a night watch to be
kept. With all lights extinguished the
squadron proceeded in a southeastern
direction. Towards morning several
heavy fog banks were run into, and dur
Ing one of these intervals the collier
Sterling became detached. To wait for
her was partly the reason that anchor
age was made, although Commodore
Schiey communicated at once with
Washington and the navy department.
When the collier arrives all the ships
will take coal and then proceed to sea
again.

Perhaps they were; probably they

that they were not. But. if the men

WAR SPIRIT MANIFEST
HOUSE VOTES MORE TORPEDO
BOATS AND DESTROYERs
Cannon Notion to Cut Down the
Number of Battleships Defeated
by an Overwhelming Majority
Number of Small Vessels Doubled
Six Hours OF Turbulent Debate
in the House-The Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-After an
exceedingly turbulent session of six
hours, the house today passed the ma
val appropriation bill and then adj
journed until Monday.
The war spirit was manifested in all
the speeches and oVer-rode the naval
committee itself by increasing the num-
Der of torpedo boats and torpedo boat
destroyers to twenty-four, the bill as
reported providing for but twelve.
The amendment of Mr.. Cannon
chairman Of the appropriations COM
mittee, to reduce the number of battle
ships to one, was buried under an
overwhelming majority.
The provision relating to armor plate,
which, in ordinary times, would have
precipitated a debate of several days,
was disposed of in ten minutes, prop
osition to decrease the price agreed to
in the bill from $500 to 5000 per ton
being drowned in a perfect chorus of
noes.
Mr. Cannon. during the course of the
day. announced the belief of a ma
jority of the members that war would
be upon us within a week, and Mr..
Dearmond, of Missouri, made a notable
speech declaring that, if hostilities were
to come, it was our duty to strike the
first biow.
This was private bill day, but after
some discussion 1t was decided to post
pone the regular order until Tuesday
and go on with the naval bill.
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the appro-
priations committee, offered a substi-
tute for the paragraph In the bill pro-
viding for three battleships, six tor
pedo boats and six torpedo boat de-
stroyers. The substitute provided for
one battleship to cost $2,G0oG0o. exclu-
sive of armament, twelve torpedo boat
destroyers and twelve torpedo boats to
cost not exceeding $4,6OO,00O.
What objection asked MI. morton
Dem. o. "have you to leaving the
three battleships in the bills and in
creasing the number of torpedo boats
to the number provided in this amend
ment?" tremendous applause in the

The Editor and His Manager.

The Minneapolis Journal depriVes our
disquisition on The Editor and the
Man" Of its point by protesting that
the editor of the Journal did not sign
the telegram to the president COM
mending his peaceful attitude in the
face of the report of the naval court
which, if he believed it's conclusions,
showed that a state Of war actually
existed. AS the telegram bore the mama
of the gentleman whose name appears
at the masthead of the Journal as man
ager, we are presented with another
coTundrum. quite as interesting as the
one we attempted to solve, and the So
r luton of which, we regret to see has
worked up the ire Of the editor
We have this condition then; the edi-
tor of the Journal snorts like a war
horse over the nervelessness Of the
president while his manager is sending
congratulatory message to the presi-
dent for not doing what his editor Is
rebuking him for not doing. If, then,
we have the case of an editor who
edits, we have that of a manager who
does not manage. We have a captain
on the quarter deck and helmsman
at the wheel who steers the ship direct
ly contrary to the orders of the cap
tain. There are wheels within wheels
in newspapers as in other businesses,
but, except in the Journal, there is al
ways the master wheel. the bull pinion,
that gives initial motion, with which
all the others move in harmony In
the Journal however the bull niniop
appears to be merely an "idler" Here
after it will be understood that the
manager of that, paper is managed by
his editor and does not do any manag-
ing himself. The situation clears.

Petulant Mr.. Porter.

Mr.. Porter, the private secretary 20
the president, is quoted saying that
the president is tired of the criticism
of congress" Mr.. Porter is petuIant
peevish and precipitate. If he expresses
his own opinion and does not reflect
that of the president it is apparent
that the arduous labors of prescribing
social regulations for Washington's
best. and supervising the minutia have
proved too much for Mr. Porter's
nerves and staying powers. If he REP
resents the president; if he reflects the
feelings that fill the presidential breast
and ind expression in the secluded
SanctitieS of the residential portion of
the White house, then the president
has cause for WEAKNESS. but it's source
is not in the congress.
Until Monday Of this week the atti
tude of congress has been admirable.
OF course there We're a few of the
Mason type who must talk or bursl.
hambuoyant fellows, who imagine that
righteousness of speech is eloquence
and volubility craftsmanship. But the
attitude of congress for six weeks has.
on the whole, like that of the country.

events and executive initiative. Every

Einistration evidently so regarded it.
else its unofficial request to congress
that it would like to have an appro-
pration with which to prepare the
navy and army for hostiities was
mere Stiffness, and the rushed spend
ing Of the fifty millions congress gave
was reckless and unjustifable waste
Of public money.
Congress and the country had the
right to assume from that request that
the administration apprehended that
the report of the naval court of INQUIRY
would find the disaster to have been
caused by external explosion; that il
regarded such act as one of war and
that it asked for fifty million dollar
to enable preparation to be made for
war by the time the report came in.
Congress and the country expected
and had the right Of all precedent to
expect, that the president, in advising
| congress Of the finding of the court
would present the conclusions of law
deducible from the fact and recommend
some definite policy. To this congress.
sional and public expectation was
wrought up. When the message cana

the disappointment was so great, the
