A FROM ASSISTANT SECRETARY RoosEvBLrs AIDE.

the Canada side where he lived: and to
travel to the sta ties. We had fallen to-
gether by accident, he an Englishman and
l a Yankee, but we liked each other none
the less nor found the poorer fortune for
each others company. Home We were go
ing with our pile" for you cannot mine
without getting moderate sum. His was
near $4,000; mine but little less.
l shall never forget how reluctantly we
shook hands at the further end of the
plateau; we had Travelled across the level
stretch together, taking two days for the
five slippery miles, and were loath to part
now that the minute had come for it.
remember we shook hands twice for the
last time and when he had gone 1 stood
looking after him. He turned to the left
and went down the steep mountain path.
1 turned to the right
Scarcely had he gone fifty feet when
heard him shout, Remember ola man,
that you are TO take the first right hand
path. Travel along until you see a log
house set up in the cliff and then make
bee line for Ii. You're safe there"
We hated to separate. Together we had
fought our battles, but how would we do
apart Klondike marauders hesitate
about taclShng two well fed. well armed
men, but how would they feel about one
and the little sled that l drew behind me
over the frozen ground was thin pre-
tense against thieves. They and / knew
that ii is not an empty sled that man
drags after him when bound southwark

But there was no time for conjecture
for the hill lay before me and two miles
beyond was the inn.
Iceberg Inn was a resort well known to
miners. 1t was kept by an old couple
who tried their luck in the gold fields. but
gave up to start the none the less remu-
nerative business of treating the miners
well as they journeyed back and forth.
As a half way house Iceberg Inn was
well known. and to its portals l was

magnificent cruisers which met his eye
on his last tour of Inspection.
An idea of the cruisers as rated by Secre-
tary Roosevelt, can be had from this Of
fetal document, sent by his representative:
The work of bringing all of the cruisers
up to the standard of the Brooklyn will be
pushed as fast as appropriations can be
secured from Congress, but, as Western
congressman remarked to a Southern rep
resentative:
Fifty thousand dollar bills don't grow

either" replied the Southerner. And so
the work will have to go slow. But We

would just about purchase an equipment
of rapid-frlng guns, and with these almost
any of the old battleshlps that were part
of the navy at the beginning OF the present
administration would be complete, but
without them the United States navy, as
Secretary Roosevelt says in his above
quoted remark, would be inferior to for
eign ships though nominally their equal
The Daschiel device about which there
is so much talk, consists of a mechan-
ism, partly electric, by which the guns
are loaded and fired automatically with
startling rapidity. BY the movement of
lever which is pulled by the arm the gun
is loaded and discharged. 1t takes two
men to operate il; one to feed 1t and the
other to move Ii.
At each motion of the arm the gun is
fired by an electric battery; and so quick
ly is II done that it can be loaded and
fired Ave times before the first shot has
reached its destination.
This is for use in close engagement and
Is what is known as a secondary battery.
All the warshlps have primary battery,
but to be ready for modern work they
must also have this secondary battery
The gun that IS used carries a cartridge
of five or six inches. These guns make
admirable coast guns around the side
of a warship, and II it Is sufficiently
equipped with them there is no reason
why a battleship should not be able to
plOQSn ltS way through an HOStle meet,
dischargng its secondary battery of rap
id-hring guns right and left and ahead of
It,.
II was stated that this device was on
invention of Secretary Long and that the
talented secretary had also invented other
devices for remodeling warships and maxi
ing them better for modern purposes, but
when asked about this matter, the secre-
tary replied
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is taking
the most vigorous steps toward bringing
the navy where it should be. He now
takes the point that we have a sufficient
number OF warships to meet without en-
barrassment, any navy that could conve-
niently be sent TO these shores His en-
| barrassment over the Philadelphia as COM
| pared with the Japanese cruiser Naniwa
has been lessened by view OF the new

but 1t is far too old-fashioned for the
Secretary of the Navy and his vigorous
assistants.
In a report issued by the Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy Mr.. Roosevelt says.
1T is better by far to have a smaller
number Of ships first-class and equal TO
any foreign ships as regards their batter
les rather than have a large number of
ships really inferior TO foreign ships that
are nominaIly their equals.
The real fighting efficiency of ships
like the Raleigh, Cincinanti. Marblehead,
Montgomery and Olympia compared with
foreign vessels of the same nominal class
stands high, while the reverse is the case
of ships like the Baltimore, San Francisco
and Yorktown.
rIf hostilities had occurred and we had
lost ship like either of these Baltimore
or Philadelphia) In a simple fight with an
other ship of the same nominal force we
could never erase its memory from our
national records"
This means that he is going to increase
the fighting efficacy of the Baltimore, the
San Francisco and the Yorktown and
make them equal to the Raleigh. Cincin-
natl, Marblehead, Montgomery and Olym-
pia.
TO bring these old warships up to date
there Is only one thing necessary. and that
is the additions of the Daschie rapid-fir-
ing device. This is OF comparatively re-
cent invention, and, as its name indicates,
provides for the quick discharge of a cart
ridge from the mouth of the guns OF a
warshlp.
In a letter to Congress, Secretary Long
recommended that $4,000 be appropriated
for the cruiser Chicago, and many persons
supposed this to be for an entirely new
armament and battery. but those connect
ed with the naval department laugh at the
idea and say that this sum would be who'll
~ inadequate for the purpose. The So
600 is undoubtedly for the purpose of the
rapid-hring device for the cruiser.
The United States navy consists Of more
than $50 warshiDs. These include crus-
ers torpedo boats ana what are techni-
cally known ss battleships. The term
