SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN INSANE

Belvidere, N. j., May 24-Joel Till,
prosperous farmer residing near
Long Bridge, Warren county, shot his
wife in the head last night, inflicting
wound that may result in her death.
Till then blew out his own brains with
a shot from his revolver. The couple
had been married seven years and lived
happily. Recently Till had showed
signs of insanity, and this is supposed
to have been the cause of the double
tragedy. The couple had one child

ENGLANp,s GIGANTIC NAVY.


Americans have well-defned idea
that we have a pretty good navy, and
the belief is founded upon substantial
grounds. But there is a popular belief
that we have a fairly large navy, which
is not well founded in fact, even if we
include all ships building or author
lied. Judged by some foreign stand
ards, we have only made a beginning,
and if we take England as an exam
pie, hardly that.
The Bureau of Naval Intelligence
has just issued the first of a series of
bulletins, intended for general infor
nation, in which it is demonstrated,
among other things, that England
alone has under construction warships
which, without aid from the present
fleets, would be more than match for
the entire German navy as it will
stand at the end of 1903, or four years
hence. And this English flosilla un-
der construction exceeds the whole of
the American navy, built and building,
by more than 100000 tons. In other
words, England is now building more
ships of war than we have built or
authorized in the last fifteen years,
while her navy afioat exceeds ours as
ten to one. At the end of the present
year Great Britain will have more
than 10000 men afioat in her ships,
as against our $4,000, and in two years
her seamen will number 125, 0G0.
The Bulletin states that the most re-
markable progress now being made
by any naval power is by Japan, which,
upon the completion of the present
programme, which is being energetic
ally pushed, will have a navy which
cannot be met in Eastern waters by
any power save England, while slow
and sleepy China is building torpedo
boat destroyers of 35 knots per hour
speed, the fastest ships in the world.
Battleships of 10000 to $4,000 tons
nave come into great favor with for
eign powers since the experiences of
the Japanese-Chinese war and the
American conflict with Spain, and the
prediction is made that many sucn
ships will be laid down in the next few
years. We have not yet attempted the
$4,000 ton class of fighters, but sew
eral American ships of over II 900 tons
will be in commission before the end
OF thls year, the Kearsarge, for exam
pie, being now ready for her prelim-
mary trial, while the Illinois. Ken
lucky and Wisconsin are not far be-
hind. These four ships will make a
very substantial addition to our naval
strength, and there are others coming.

the funds necessary for the corruption of

The Boer regards the gold seeking and
trading Britisher as a nuisance to be got
rid of, if possible and TO be made to pay
heavily for the privilege of remaining
within the limits of the republic if he
will not go. On the other hand the Brit
lsh settler looks on the farming Boer as
a lazy and stupid fellow who does not
make the most of the advantages his
country offers and who should be crowd
ed out by the more energetic Anglo-Sax-
on. 1t is the old problem over again. The
irresistible Anglo-Saxon has come into
collision with the immavable Dutchman
and when the irresistible comes into COL
hsion with the immovable. then what?
