ator Proctor had announced that he was
a Republican, and Representative Living
stOn OF Georgia was declaring him TO be

ed to ask the great sailor to what party

asked the Admiral if he would like to lie
President He blushed and stammered.
He was not expecting such a question to
be so bluntly put. After recovering his
comIosure he is reported to nave mae
answer thus; "If / could be such Presi-
dent as Mr. Cleveland was | should very
much like to have the Office. But as |
fear that would be impossible, I shall not
seriously consider the question" The Ia
dies OF the Admirals- circle have sin e
been wont to declare that Mr.. Cleveland Is
his ideal statesman And IT is said that
the ladies. who have been taken iat0 tire
secret are very proud of being abe to tell
in confidence what they know about the
Admirals political views and idea S.

man who sas had quite as much to do with
recording the history they are supposed
TO make as has any man Of the time has
been offered and has refused one Of the
best paying Offices in the gift of the Ad-
ministratiOn. Reference is had TO Mr..
Walter B. Stevens. the well-i.noEn Wash
ington correspondent of the st Louis
Globe Democrat" The President rendered
to Mr.. Stevens the important position OF
secretary Of the new Philippine COmmis-
sion, at a salary Of IS, 600 year. II is
said that Mr.. Mckinley urged in as strong
a manner as was possible for Mr.. Stevens
10 accept the place, but the correspond

In the opinion OF the newspaper men moth
ing in the gift Of the President is toe
good for Mr.. Stevens and there Is no sur
prise among them that he has refused to
quit a profession to which he is such d
credit for the less honorable. even if less
arduOus, work Of the offceholder. The
position now doubtless viii b. rendered

politician. It's tenure is two years and
its remuneration is so far above the usua

ton. The consensus Of opinion in profess
eional circles and in Congress is that
Krupp armor, which is now used exclu-
sively by the leading naval powers, should
be also secured BY the United States. and
it is understood that il cannot be had at a
lower cost than the price fixed. The NIL
nority favor Government plant, which,
they argue, would more than pay for itself
out Of the saving which could be made on
the amount OF armor plate which viii be
needed during the ensuing two or three
years. The fact remains that there is no
Government armOr plant while there is
every incentive to prosecute the work OF
extending our Navy without delay.
The FoSs report recommends that the
President be authorized to have built by
contract two sea going coast line battle
ships. to be provided with the heaviest
armor and ordnance carried by vessels Of
their class, and each 10 have about thir-
teen thousand i've hundred tons dispsace-
ment. and each to cost exclusive Of armor

ment to cost, exclusive of armament not

Navy experts know what they are about
and that the construction of these eight
vessels will represent all We need to do at
THE time. The majority OF the House Ma

Of persons that may have to pass the
