The size of the United States navy at
the present time is perhaps not fully APP
preciated by the average person. We
have no less than 1853 ships in commits
sion, distributed as follows: Seventy
three in the Atlantic station, under Ad-
miral Sampson; seven in Commodore
Schley's command, now also with Samp-
son; eleven with Admiral Dewey; six in
Admiral MiIer's Pacific squadron; five
in Commodore Howell's Northern patrol
squadron; seven on special service; forty
two unassigned. OF which some are on
coast defences; seven training ships, and
enough golfers and auxiliary cruisers to
make up the total stated. In addition
to these, we have five tirst.class battle
ships and a large number of torpedo
boats building, and three tirst-class bat.
tleships have been contracted for.

The annual sessions OF this organiza-

Tuesday and Wednesday. Delegates were

presided and made the annual address.
At the Tuesday evening session j. ..

responded. The second days proceed
inps opened at 10 a. m. Wednesday. De-
votional exercises were conducted by

Was Montpelier Ignoredf
A thing especially noticeable in the
running OF the new street railway is that
no Montpelier man holds position on
the road. Barre is well favored but the
few Montpelier applicants have beer
chilled. About all the men appointed al
conductors and motormen came from th'
Granite City. This is no wall, but it ap
pears that as long as Montpelier's name
is attached to the cars she should have
one solitary representative in some ca
pacity, as track oiler or any old thing
1t is understood that at least hall
dozen Montpelier men made application
some weeks ago for positions as motor
men and conductors. - Montpehe
