The Navy Commended.

The navy has maintained the spirit
and high efficiency which have always
characterized that service, and has lost
none of the gallantry in heroic action
which mas signalized its brilliant and
glorious past The nation has equal
pride in its earlier and later achieve
ments. Its habitual readiness for ev-
cry emergency has won the confidence
and admiration of the country. The
people are interested in the continued
preparation and prestige of the navy
and will justify liberal appropriations
for its maintenance and Improvement.
The officers have shown peculiar adapt
alton for the performance of new and
| delicate duties which our recent war
has imposed.
AFsMOR PLATE.
1T cannot be doubted that congress
4 will at once make necessary provision
| for the arnor plate for the vessels now
4 under contract and building. Its at
4 tention is respectfully called to the re-
port of the secretary of the navy, IN
which the subject is fully presented. \
4 unite in his recommendation that the
] congresS enact such special legislation
as may be necessary to enable the de-
4 partment to make contracts early In
/ the coming year Tor arInor OF the pest
i quality that can be obtained in this
country for the Maine, Ohio and Mis-
souri,, and that the provision of the act
of March 3, 1899. limiting the price of
armor TO 5000 per ton be removed.
In the matter of naval construction,
Italy and Japan, of the great powers,
laid down less tonnage in the year
1889 than this country, and Italy alone
has less tonnage under construction. 1
heartily concur in the recommendations
for the increase of the navy, as suY-
gested by the secretary.

approved July "a, 1897, appears to pro-
vide only for commercial treaties which.
should be entered into by the president
and also ratified by the senate within
two years from its passage. Owing to
delays inevitable in negotiations of this
nature none of the treaties initiated
under that section could be concluded
in time for ratification by the senate
prior to its adjournment on the 18th of
March last. Some of the pending me-
gotiations, however, We're near conclu-
sion at that time, and the resulting con-
yentionss have since been signed by the
Observation-Disclosures. Others, within both
the third and fourth sections of the act.
are still under consideration. Acting
under the constitutional power of the
executive in respect to treaties, nave
deemed it my duty, while observing the
Limitations of concession provided by
the fourth section, to bring TO conciiss
sion all pending negotiations, and sub
init them to the senate for its advice
and consent.
Conventions of reciprocity have been
lsigred during the congressional recess
with Great Britain for the respective
colonies of British Guiana, Barbados,
Bermuda, Jamaica and Turks and
ICaicos islands, and With the republic
I8of Nicaragua.
1 Important reciprocal conventions
have also been concluded With France
and with the Argentine Republic.

George Green, Alexander Greggains,
Billy Smith and Jim Kennedy, of the

could not consent to a fight with Smith
to be positive of meeting the obligation
the scaling time should be at noon of the
day of the fight.
Smith and his manager, Greggains.
would not consent to Green's proposition
of weighing in at noon, but they said
that If Green would sign articles to weigh
154 pounds at o'clock on the evening Of
the fight, everything pertaining to a mill
could be easily arranged.
Green was obdurate. He would not
give way an ounce and insisted on weigh
ing at high noon. and as a consequence
the meeting ended in smoke.

NEW CoURsING GROUNDS.
The Ingleside Club Will Meet Thi:
Evening TO Discuss New Grounds.

The Ingleside Coursing Club will meet
this evening to discuss plans whereby
they may continue to follow the old sport.
Some of the leading members said that
although a removal from Ingleside Park
will incur some expense, they hope, never
theless, to have a first-class coursing field
in the near future within easy access of
San Francisco, on the San Mateo Electric
line, which will soon have two tracks
running betwe cen this city and the ter
minus in San Mateo County.
Doubtless the old Ocean View Park, of
which Professor Caravan was elected di-
rector general some years ago. and which
for some years past has been the home
of italian vegetable gardeners, will again
be converted into coursing park. The
site is a good one, and when the San
Mateo Company shall have completed its
vast Improvements. the pleasure resort
can be reached easily in twenty minutes
ride from the heart of the city.
