A USEFUL LESSON.
England Sees Need OF Large Increase r
Her Navy.

London, June l2.-Rear Admiral LORD
Charles Beresford has issued an appeal
to the press for an increase of the navy.
He says The war between the United
States and Spain has taught us a useful
lesson. 1t has taught us the absolute me-
ccssity of complete and thorough organic
alton previous to war instead of trusting
to chances. Ii has taught us the value of
a proper supply of cruisers and the in
effectiveness of obsolete guns against the
range and accuracy of modern guns
NO other nation has a ship on effective
list armed with muzzle- loading guns.
whereas England has -. Any nation that
sent men to fight on blue water or relied
for harbor protection on such weapons
would shortly set short shrift''

bers were waiting for measures to be
sent in which should have been sent in
early in the session, but were delayed
under the belief that if they were kept
until near the end the members would
be in hurry to get home and would
rush them through without giving them
the consideration which they deserved.
This can no longer be done, and bills
which are to be passed must be present.
ed early in the session or not at ALL
There are no members OF the coming
General Assembly who desire to sit
around and do nothing. The Whining
ton Board of Trade is interested in a
number of measures which are to be
brought before the Legislature, but it
appears inclined to delay them until the
Legislature meets, and in consequence OF
this they may receive scant considera-
ton. 1t is particularly necessary that
bills pertaining to Wilmington should
be presented early, for there is always
more or less discussion of them before
they can be passed, and at times there is
considerable opposition to be overcome.
