Naval Board Decides Upon = Big Addition
to the Sea Fig hting Force

Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 2O.-A naval
program for presentation TO Congress.
involving the immediate construction of
fifteen warships, WAS adopted to-day
by the naval board of experts TO
whom the subject had been referred
by Secretary Long. 1t provides for
three sca-going barberte-,urret battle
ships OF 1900 tons displacement and
n minimum of eighteen and one-half
knots speed when the vessels are load
ed to their deepest draft, or an aver
age speed above nineteen knots under
ordinary cruising conditions; three
iirst-class armored cruisers of fg,0OG
tons and twenty-five knors speed, sim
liar 10 the Maine type but highly I'M
proved, and for six protected cruisers
Of 200 tons and sixteen knots speed.
The reduced speed OF these ships.
which is uniformly about two knots
less than proposed at the preliminary
meeting of the board yesterday, was
brought about by the desire TO secure
unprecedented range of action, on ac.
count OF the increased responsibilities
of the United States in the Pacific and
the certainty that these vessels or most
of them will be required to make up
the fleet In that ocean. The sacrifice
of speed Ia endurance was advisably
made with view to securing vessels
OF at least 5000 knots radius. or capa.
BILE Of steaming straight away from
San Francisco TO Manila or Samoa.

In first seeking 10 avoid war with

the war with higher aims and success
In bringing 1t to speedy conclusion.
II is glorious to our arms and crafty
Ing TO the high aspirations OF our peo-
pie.
ION behalf Of freedom and human
welfare, we thank the officers aud men
of our army and navy for their skillful
and heroic achievements on land and
ON sea- and for their chivalrous con-
duct toward the defeated enemy. We
believe that the rescued and libcrat-
ed people of the surrendered Islands
are In n sense temporarily the wards
OF the conquerina nation and that we
should treat them as such.
with our success. with our view OF
natural right and of the inestimable
privilege OF civil liberty, we should not
be justified in returning the conquered
islands TO the misrulc and oppression
from which we have relieved them.
AS soon as the islands under our prcS-
ent protection can be trusted TO govern
themselves, they should be allowed 10
do so, the United States retaining un-
der It's authority only necessary naval
stations. Until such time as they may
be able to govern themselves. they
should continue under the protection
of the United States. and the question
us 10 whether nj some future period
and at the mutual desire OF both. they
should be permanently annexed. should
be left to the time when 1t arises.
THE United States. in behalf of each
territory in question and 30 long as II,
shall continue under its protection,
should adopt proper measures for So
curing out Of the revenues Of these
countries. the establishment of free,
elementary. unsectarian schools. suf-
ticient for the instruction OF all persons
OF school age.
I'VE count the present nn auspicious
time for the establishment by the Unit
ed States OF graded diplomatic and
consular service.
I'VE heartily approve Of the principle
Of arbitration In the settlement OF in

President Mckinley is likely to have a

needs and deserves one as much as any
hard-working man in America. He has
not had moments rest since the Cuban
troubles eliminated last winter and has

intense heat that has driven from Wash
ington everybody who was not compelled
to stay there. Thus far this has been the
hottest summer known in Washington for
many years. and the heat has been aggra-
waited by unprecedented humidity. The
President and Mrs. Mckinley both have
endured the ordeal in a remarkable man.

can endure heat and fatigue better than
most men, while she enjoys hot
weather, and during some of the torrid
nights while other people were painting
for breath. has sat complacently under
the portico of the White House with a
shawl over her shoulders.
The President has no definite plans far
ther than that he has promised to visit
his brother Abner, who has taken a cots.
tsge near Long Branch for the summer,
md he will probably run down there with
Mrs Mckinley for a few days soon as
he can get away.

many of her young men have gradu-
ated from American schools. The pres
ent rebellion in that country, which
has for Its object the giving of gov
ernment modelled upon the American
plan, is headed, both in its councils and
its military operations. by graduates of
American colleges. Twenty years ago
the Chinese government consented to
number of scions of prominent families
being educated in this country, but
when the first batch returned the per-
mission was withdrawn. so outspoken
were the young fellows in favor Of re-
publican institutions and government.
It Is these Cinnamon with American
diplomas In their hands who are at the
head and front of the present rebellion
in that country. and while they can
not succeed in overthrowing the gov

The people are fast finding out who
pays the tax. The express and tele-
graph companies make those who pa
tronize them pay 1t. Likewise the
bankers and brewers. In Cleveland the
local beer dealers went to court to try
and make the brewers stand II. The
brewers came out ahead, when the ga
loonkeepers In turn resolved to make
the customers stand the tax by cutting
Gown the size OF glnsses. and where
beer is purchased in pals to give pint
and no more for cents. The law
surely could not have been intended to
work that way. Indeed. such work In
Spain would be cabled as revolutionary
action. Is 1t more traitorous for
Spaniard than an American to defy his
