OUR GR0DING NAVY.

| If we are going to be "world-pow-
err" as we evidently are, we shall need
large and efficient navy. We shall
soon have one at the present rate of
progress. Six big battleships are well
on the way toward completion. One,
the Alabama, is practically done. This
ship and the Wisconsin, of similar size,
will have their crews on board before
September, or at an earlier date, if their
services should in the nHantime be ur-
gently needed. Several torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers will be
available before October. This years
appropriation also authorizes the build
ing of two seagoing battleships, carry
ing the heaviest armor and the most
powerful ordnance for vessels of their
cost exclusive of armor and armament,
not exceeding $3,600,000 each. 1t further
allows the building of three armored
cruisers of like qualities, of $4,000 tons
displacement, each, to cost, exclusive Of
their guns and armor, $4,250000 each,
and also three protected cruisers Of 5000
tons each-similar, if not better, than
the Brooklyn-to cost 900 each
Then the Secretary of the Navy is au-
thorized to contract for the building of
five submarine torpedo boats of the Ho-
land type, at cost of $4,000 each.
Progress is being made in other direc-
lions. Additional dry docks, to the
number of five, at various points, are
