denim the administration because of
the Porto Rican tariff; the slavery in

version and suppression Of news" for
-'the infamy committed in the Philip

standing with monarchial governments

form of government in South Africa of
the moral support and help which our
people gladly extend, and for "the ar
bitrary exercise of executive power by
the Mckinley administration"

AN INTERESTING REPORT
By Admiral O'Neil on Developments O.
the Yearfn Naval Matters

Washington, October 25.-The annual
report of Rear Admiral O'Neil contains
an interesting summary of the import
ant developments of the year in the
matter of naval ordnance and armor,
and powder. The estimates for the
next, which aggregate s7,457, S55, include
a single item Of 81, 600, 600 under the head
of increase in the navy, armor and
armament. The admiral makes no
ton for the future.
Admiral O'Neil praises the double
turret system. He says the turrets
successfully stood their gun fires, were
under perfect control and were strong,
and, in fact, no unfavorable reports of
the battery have been received. The
admiral says the turretS are without
doubt an unqualified success.
One Of the references in the report
is to the submarine boat Holland, and
Admiral O'Neil says that while the
trial runs, probably made under favor
able conditions, have created a favor
Die impression, it is too early as yet
to say much in regard to the practical
utility for war purposes of boats of this
type. Undoubtedly the moral effect
of their known or suspected proximity
viii be considerable, but more intimate
knowledge of their qualities will be
necessary before a correct estimate
of their military value can be made.

safety.

began his address with all the force
and magnetism of the fine orator. He
denounced as malicious lie" the
statement that he had been forced to
leave his office in the present natlonal
administration. He pictured IN Drill
liant and flaming sentences the cruel
ties and "aggressions" practiced by
Great Britain upon the beers in, south
Africa. His account with the republi
can party he regarded as fully pal
anced. He owed it no further otllga-
tions. These sentiments met with
much applause. In conclusion ne an
nounced his intention of supporting the
democratic party and it's ticket and was
wildly cheered.
