While the naval bill finally. passed
the provision with respect to the price
of armor is likely to somewhat delay
work on all but the protected cruisers.
The bill as passed provides for three
ea-going coast-line battleships, carry
ing the heaviest armor, the most pow
erful ordnance for vessels of their
class. upon a trial displacement OF
about 1880 tons, to be sheathed and
coppered, and to have the highest
practicable speed and great radius of
action, and to cost exclusive Of armor
and armament not exceeding $500. 900
each. Three armored cruisers Of about
1000 tons trial displacement, carrying
the heaviest armor and most powerful
ordnance for vessels OF their class. to
be sheathed and coppered, and to have
the highest practicable speed and great
radius and action. and to cost, exclu-
sive of armOr and armament, not ex-
ceeding $4,OOO,0OO each. And six pro-
tected cruisers of about $500 tons trial
pered. and to have the highest speed
compatible with cruising qualities,
great radius Of action and to carry the
most powerful ordnance suited to ves-
sells of their class, and to cost exclusive
of armament, not exceeding $1,141, 800
each.
In order to secure the passage of the
measure it was deemed necessary to
accept the amendment providing that
not more than $500 per ton shall be
paid for the armor, though that part
of the amendment which provided for
a government armor plant in case the
armOr manufacturers should refuse TO
furnish the armor at that price was
defeated. So far nothing has appeared
indicating that such a price would be
accepted, and it is said the department
does not think it will be. But the
trainers of the bill did all they could
to secure that end and incorporated
this provision: And in no case shall a
contract be made for the construction
of the hull Of any vessel authorized by
this act until a contract has been made
for the armor of such vessel" This
will include the three battleships and
the three first-class cruisers, but not
the protected cruisers to which the
mandate does not apply.

Only Delayed.

Notwithstanding all previous exams
nations and surveys, eight in all, we
believe, it was said this Congress
should not pass Nicaraguan canal
bill as it would be hasty and ILL con-
sidered legislation. Accordingly. an
other appropriation for further inves-
tigation of the project was put through.
The opponents did not, it appears, dare
to incur the odium of its de-
feat out of hand. The people, as
we'll as the experts, have decided in
their own minds that the canal must
be built. Their hopes have been still
further deferred. But the delay need
not make the heart sick. The canal
is as certain as most things commonly
so regarded. Moreover, it has previous
ly been determined by excellent judges

are, would lengthen the journey via
canal between the Atlantic and Pa
cific ports Of this country by about
seven hundred miles, certainly an item
worthy of consideration. However,
when such Investigations shall have
been made, the opponents of the
measure will be forced from their van
tage ground, for no longer can they
say that the project has been fnade-
quately considered or injudiciously
fastened. Perhaps it is well to pos
sess our souls in patience, with what
ever satisfaction there is to be derived
from the conviction that the canals
construction is now certain. 81
