tains as John Paul Jones and Esek
Hopkins made the patriot cause re-
doubtable upon the seas, naval affairs
were intrusted to a marine committee.
The few public cruisers which remain
ed after that costly conflict were sold,
and when the Dey of Algiers began to
prey upon American commerce, the in
FAINT nation was, for the moment, pow
erless to protect its own. This led
Washington to urge the creation of a
naval force; Congress In 1854 voted
money to build six frigates, the Consti-
tuition, President, United States, Ches-
apeake, Constellation and Congress,
and on April 30, 1888, the present de
partment was formally created.
From the first the navy confirmed
the wisdom of It's creators. Early in
1909, the Constellation-we then had a
little misunderstanding with France
fought and captured the Insurgent in
West Indian waters, and late In 1903
a squadron of four vessels was sen to
protect American rights and honor In
the Mediterranean. The frigate Phila-
delphia, under Capt. Balnbridge, cap
tured a Moorish privateer, but ran
aground In the harbor of Tripoli, and
the officers were made prisoners of
war. Stephen Decatur, then q young

OF TOWN.
A journey of forty-fve miles from
Sixty-mile Post brought us to Dawson
City, the wonderful city of the new
mining district, populated almost in a
night. Although really sixty-dve miles
distant from the Klondike, It Is a typi-
cal mining camp. minus the guns. The
laws OF the British Government are en-
forced at Dawson City, and those laws
prohibit the S of firearms; conse-
quently few men carry guns. In and

there are about four thousand men and
one hundred and fifty women. Daw-
