Winston and Strather both sang on the
way from their cell to the scaffold and

A NEW NAVY

The time for the meeting Of the International
Peace Congress draws near. But the time for
increasing military ornaments is always with
u.s. We have seen that Russia Is adding to her
army and navy with feverish haste that France
Is doing such naval work as never before and
that Germany has just adopted, after an ardu-
Gus struggle, bill for the material strengthen
ing Of her army. Let us see what our British
brethren are doing at the same time.
Perhaps we shall appreciate the activity Of
the British Admiralty most perfectly through a
bit Of comparison. We all remember pretty
we'll what our own Navy was at the outbreak Of
the war with Spain, or little before that time
1t was a fine navy, and we were Justly proud Of
II. Well, it was just about equal to the add-
tlon which will be made to Her Majesty's feet
during the present year. whole new navy.
as big and as powerful as our own was a year
ago. is being created In British dockyards every
year We had last spring five battle-ships
counting the Texas ranging from 6,315 TO II 40
tons displacement and with a maximum speed
OF less than Is knots This year the British
Navy will be increased by the addition of five
lew battle-ships each of 1880 tons and more
than Is knots. We had five armored or pro-
tected cruisers of more than 5000 TONS the larg
est being Of less than 10000 tons The British
Navy Is receiving eight such ships, four of them
being OF IL 900 and four of $500 tons each. We
had, 1t Is true, twelve more such ships Of more
than 1000 tons, while the new British fleet In
cludes only six Of that measurement But then
the British list comprises no less than thirty
one unprotected craft, gunboats and the like
Altogether the British Navy will receive fifty
new ships this year with a total tonnage of
1850 carrying 235 large guns and 600 small
ones, and manned by 1880 men,
Such is the rate at which the greatest naval
Power Ia the world is adding to its feet II

each year. And such is the work which the
Cars Peace Congress will ask the British Gov.
eminent to stop,I Itnmay be that the British
Government will stop it, will not put these fftv

stocks the fifty more it Is now preparing for
next year. But we fancy there are several

Porto Rico has become property OF the Union,

Just as they did before the cession by Spain.

full citizenship and incorporation into the
Union They wish all the advantages which
the Louisiana sugar grower has, without nearly

foreign methods and laws and sacrifices for

Ricans to dismiss from their minds such de-
sires. They are not prepared, In plain truth,
to take any share in governing this country,
nor could they govern their own as peacefully
and progressively, II left to the wranglIng Of
their own factions, as 1t will be governed under
American authority, with such local particlpa-

yet their cabinets and local authorities and

the government of their own country will nee
