NAVY NEEDS STRENGTHENING.
such 10 the Tenor Of the House Com.
mlttss's Report.


Washington. April 3O.-The naval
program for 1903, az presented In the
naval appropriation bill and accompany
ing report filed by Chairman Foss of
the House naval committee, IL one of
unusual interest. The report does not
take as optimistic a view of our naval
progress as Is generally held, and Mr..
Foss points out that comparatively
Few of our ships have any real fighting
value. He accompanies this with a
statement OF the enormous naval arma-
ment and programs OF other countries,
particularly Germany.
1t is shown by the report that the to.
tai number OF vessels of our navy, built
and building. is 1873, and the total cost
will be $235, OS2, 200. Tile report adds:
"While we have built and are build

Ing value. Our naval prowess lies al
most entirely in our eighteen battle
ships. eight armOred cruisers and
twenty-one protected cruisers. The
rest of our ships wouls cut but little
figure In actual war. Ships of the bat
Tie line practically alone contain the
naval strength of a nation"
Referring to the foreign naval pro-
gram, the report says:
"Of all the countries, Germany has
been building during the last few years
faster than any of the others. Her
ship building program started In 1893
and will be completed in 1908, possibly
In 1907 instead of 1916. ms first planned.
The program will give her in all thirty
eight battleships, fourteen large cruis-
ers. thirty-eight smaller cruisers and
ninety-six torpedo boats. After the
completion Of this program the plan
contemplntes new constructions to re-
place ships which. though still service
able, may have reached the prescribed
age limit"
Concerning new ships for orr navy.
the report says:
THE committee recommends that for
the purpose OF further increasing the
naval establishment OF the United
States the President have constructed
two frst-class battleships carrying the
heaviest nrmor and most powerful ord
nance for vessels Of their class upon a
trial displacement Of about 10000 tons.
and to have the highest practicable
speed and greatest radius of action,
and to cost. exclusive Of armor and ar
mament not exceeding s4.212.OOO each:
two first-class armored cruisers Of

BEE KEEPERS IN SESSION.
Colorado Honey Considered the Best
in the United States.

Denver, April 3O-The Denver Bee
Keepers Association, in session yester-
day at the Western hotel, adopted n
resolution instructing the officers to
offer reward of $50 for the apprehen-
sion and conviction of thieves who
steal honey or hives OF bees. A COM
mittte was appointed also to post no
tices around NIL apiaries warning the
public against trespassing, and 1t was
resolved that hereafter the law against
trespass shall be strictly enforced.
A most prosperous year was report
ed by the retiring president, w. L..
Porter. in his annual address, The rep
utation for Colorado honey, he said,
for being the best in the United States.
Ia becoming so widespread that per-
manent growth of demand for the
product in the East is assured.
w. l.. Porter, J. Cornelius and T. A..
Riggs were appointed committee on
exhibits which will be made at the
convention OF the National Bee Keep
ers' Association In this city next fall.
The following new officers were elect
ed: President. II. Rauchfass; vice
president, l.. F. Jouno; secretary, Miss
N. C. Porter
The annual meeting of the Colorado
Honey Producers Association WIS held
during the intermissiOn between the
morning and afternoon sessions Of the
Denver association. Reports were re-
ceived by the stockholders that 10000
pounds, equal to six carloads, after
supplying the local demands, were mar
keted in the East, having been shipped
to Kansas City. st. Louis, indianapolis,
Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati.
A dividend of ten per cent was de-
clared. The dividends were at once
invested in additional shares. Through.
out the year fair prices We're received
and on the whole the associations plan
was considered at the end of the first
year to have been extremely satisfat-
tory. The association acts ms a clear
ing house for certain number of pro-
ducers. who thus have been enabled to
find an export market where previous
ly they supplied only the local demand.

CALAMITY ONCE MORE.
The Democrats Are Put to the Pitt
able Resort of Taking Up the
Old Cry.

The Boston Herald, which is hostile
to republicanism, sometimes bitterly
and vehemently so, uses curious ar
gument to discourage the democrats
from too strenuous effort to get con-
troll of the next congress. 1t cannot
deny the existence of prosperity of
the country, says the Troy Times, but
it issues this warning to the demo-
Gratis:
eff next winter or next summer the ex-
traordinary conditions we have recently
experienced in the line of industrial actfv
ity should come to an end-and this may
we'll be through overspeculation or losses
of foreign markets through the unwilling
ness of the party in power to negotiate
trade treaties-and If this industrial de-
cline were accompanied by the success of
the democrats in electing majority to
the house of representatives, the country
would be told by the republican orators
and newspaper organs that that political
change was what had been the cause of
business disaster So long as the repub-
licans had a majority everything, it would
be said. went we'll; while just SO soon as
the democrats succeeded in getting a ma
jority in the lower branch of congress
business distress Immediately began; hence
the plain lesson to be learned was to avoid
giving tue ueIuOCTdlS any CIldHCe VI suCCeSS
in 1904. 1t will be, we believe, no more than
prudent for the democrats to give the re-
publicans during the next two years en-
tire official and political responsibility for
all that may happen in this country"
Correctly interpreted, this means
nothing more nor less than falling
back on the old democratic plan of re-
lying on calamity" to get into pow
er. The democratic party has no pol
icy of its own; it shrinks from any
avowal of positive principles, know

Democrats DenOuncing Republicans
for Extravaganza of Which They
Are Equally Guilty.

The latest paramount issue" bears
the caption "A Billion-Dollar Ses-
sion.' 1t is striking phrase. The
orator who has no head for facts
but a roomy space for luxuriant
imagination to run riot in can ring
great many changes on such a
topic. That the statement is want
ing in the element of truth does not
trouble those who find in the charge
OF republican extravaganza para
mount issue, says the Indianapolis
Journal.
Men who will take the pains to ex-
anime the appropriation bill will dis
cover at the outset that the aggre-
gate IS a little over $500 OOO,OOU, or
nearly $200,000,0OO short of a billion
dollars. There is 1868, 100000 author

money authorized for the improve

amount necessary to complete certain
proposed improvements, which is APP

The same is true of public buildings.
This year it is especially true of the
sum designated for the construction
of the isthmian canal, the entire
amount authorized being $1sO,OO0, 900.
For public works $43,OOO,0OO was au-
thorized, but not appropriated. Here
