NAMES OR MONITORS.
The Two Types Of Vessels Practically
COntrasted.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The safety with which vessels of the
Mentor type could be navieated on the
ocean, their capacity fer resisting shot
and shell when enemy's accurate gun
merry happened to overcome the advantage
of the small mark their structure pre-
sented to enemy, and the terrible eff
cheney of their turrat guns in combat.
were all demonstrated in numerous en-
gagements during our civil war. The de-
velopment CT the Monitor may well be
classed as the greatest of the many engi-
neering triumphs which marked that CO.
lCssal struggle.
On the other hand although it has been
proved that the modern battle ship, with
its immense load of armor, turrets and
heavy guns above the water line, can be
also navigatad with entire safety on the
ocean, no satisfactory test whatever has
ever been made of its fighting value. The
only instances in which such a vessel has
keen employed in actual warfare have been
struggle between Chile and Peru, and the
war between Japan and China At Alex
andria the fighting was practically all on
one side, the antiquated ordnance of the
command Of Arab Pasha being of course
unable to make any noticeable reply to the
big modern ri1ed guns of the British IRON
clads. There was no engagement in the
Chile-Peruvian war which tested either
guns or armor: and the single naval battle
off Wei-hai-wei demonstrated little beyond
the inability of the Chinese to handle the
great battle ships on which they had ex-
pended such vast sums of money. One
thing has been demonstrated to perfection,
however. and that Is the ease with which
one Of these overweighted battle ships can
be sent to the bottom, either by collision
or by the explosion of torpedo. And
whenever either of these things happens
the monster vessel becomes a yeritable
deathtrap. carrying destruction to all. or
rearly all, on board.
On a matter to which the best naval
engineering ability Of the world has been
devoting its most careful and conscien-
tious studies for many years 1t may well

TRADE WITH HAWAII.

The United States Leads In Number of
Ships and Tonnage.
During the year 1897 427 vessels. with
tonnage of 513S26. entered the ports of
the Hawaiian Republic. The United States
still leads the whole world in the number of
ships and aggregate tonnage engaged In
the Hawaiian trade. Ships carrying the
American flag numbered 2s6. with a ton
mage of 270.0i5, while all other national
tiles only numbered 141, with a tonnage of
243 Isl. This Is a good increase over the
figures for 1896. but what will be particu-
larry gratifying to Americans Is the fact
that the increase IL almost entirely in our
favor. OF the increase of Al vessels. 80
were American, while all other countries
had only 2.
THE above figures" says Consul General
Haywood in an official report, would seem
sufficiently gratifying to most Americans:
but sim they do not fully show the pre-
ponderance of American bottoms, because
they include steamers touching here only
to discharge mail and few passengers.
The majority of these steamers are British,
and. as they carry very little freight to
and from these Islands, II 10 misleading to
include them in any report of the national
ity Of vessels employed by the Hawaiians
in their commerce with the world Only
one steamer-the AustraIia-makes this
place her port of discharge. and she is own
ed by Americans and has an American reg
lister She piles between here and San
Francisco. making thirteen trips each year.
To fully appreciate how much Of the
products of these islands Is carried in
American bottoms the steam tonnage
should be deructed. In 1895 sailing vessels
to the number Of 291, with a tonnage Of
213, 262. entered the ports Of these islands
or this number, 237. with a tonnage of
lt4. 4O6, or - per cent, were American.

A serious problem is confronting the lum-
bermen of Georgia in the rapid devastation
of the magnificent pine forests. which twen-
ty years ago seemed inexhaustibe.
1t has become a custom TO plant saw
mills and turpentine distilleries in the heart
of the forests. and their work outward, I'M
I'll the timber had been converted into lum-
Der, or rendered worthless by the opera
lions of the turpentine operators. This has
resulted in rapidly thinning out the for
ests. until now even IN the wild land por-
ton of the state an unbroken line Of dense
growth is rare.
An effort was made to enact laws by
which those cutting down trees would be
compelled to plant others in their places.
hut such q statute has never found favor
with a majority of the legislators, as strong
Hobbies were always present in behalf OF the
lumber and turpentine interests.
Forest land can be obtained for a mere
Gong, from $3.50 to 81 an acre. and this mas
tempted a large number of men with
enough capital to run itinerant sawmiils.
There is one consolation in the fact that
where the giant pines once stood farms are
springing up. and there is reason for the
belief that the state will ultimately REIN
quish the industry Of numbering for the
more extensive one Of agriculture.

Forty Thousand Umbrellas "A Day.

EFOm the chicago Record.
Mr.. Obertauffer of Philadelphia, who sells
materials to umbrella makers, tells me
that the output of umbrellas in the United
States has reached an average of 10000
daily. or 100000 year. and is increas-
ing very rapidly, because the people are
beginning TO recognize the superiority of
American goods over the imported article.
Philadelphia is the largest place of manu-
facture and produces more than one-half
the umbrellas made In the country. Mr..
Obertauffer says the American manufac-
turers are selling a better umbrella than
one can buy in London for the same
money. and that people who are giving
their preference to foreign goods are max
ing O great mistake.

The Secretary of Agriculture De-
fvers nm Address.
After The Stars report was closed yes
terday afternoon tn: Secretary of Agri-
culture, Mr.. James Wilson, responded to
the invitation extended to him in The
morning and made a brief address The
Secretary said:
i am pleased to see such gathering of
representative men from so many states
working in the interest of honest dealing.
Il seems to be fair proposition that what
Is exposed on the market for sale should
be what 1t is represented to be- Our
health and lives depend upon pure foods
Nature has shown Us pure food
The Secretary then spoke of milk and
dairy products saying nothing could be
more reprehensible than to aduIterate milk
butter and cheese. Continuing he said:
This country of ours, through the in
genuity of its people and the perfection of
its factories and industries is nrensred
to furnish food to the entire world at n -ic q
lower than any other country in the world
All they ask across the Atlantic is that
we give them pure food, and our market
there is unlimited Some of the foreign
countries may not be treating us fairly
JUS at present, but the department will
seek to extend our market to the widest
extent and thus give more work for the
people.
MOI what They Ought to he.
1t Is fact that food and drugs are not
what they ought TO be, else you would not

what they are represented to be, SO all the
rascals are not in this country

farmers are fast producing the money to
build these vessels, but we must send a
reputation ahead, that when an Amer
lean ship sails into a foreign harbor il
Will be said: There comes ship from an
hohest people with an honest cargo"
Mr.. Wilson said the people of this coun-
try must first purify its products, land
then meet the foreigners and secure their
cooperation to the end that the exports
and imports will alike be just what they
purport to be-.
The Secretary said the Department OF
Agriculture stood ready TO give such aid
as was within Us power toward securing
the accomplishment of the end sought

suit of the exchange of personalities in
dulged in tonight by Senators Money
and Wellington. The happy remark
made by Senator Wilson, just in the
nick of time, avcrted trouble on the
floor of the Senate. Wellington charged
that Senator Money was the agent of
the New York Journal. Senator Money
denounced this as false. Wellington re-
peated it, saying he did so on his own re-
sponsibiity.
''Your are liar" shouted Money.
"You are another" warmly replied
Wellington.
The Maryland Senator said he would
not Disgrace himself by answering the
Senator from Mississippi"
I'VE will settle it outside. We will
go out now and settle it, replied Money,

Senator Wilson broke in by asking the

that he did not apologize to the Senator

fident that in the event of an open CON

whose course has been admirable
throughout all our trouble with Spain,
will be given command of one of the di-
visions OF the army that will occupy
Cuba. General Lees appointment, .
said Mr. Pearson, seems to be the
unanimous wish of al patriotic CITIZENS,
North and South, and will be accepted
as a symbol of a warm reunion.
