Cost of Naval Protection.

The annual report of Secretary of the
Navy Moody says relative to the use
fulness of the navy:
'As nation we are able to possess
navy of such size and cost as our
national interests and duties require.
On the other hand. we should not be
tempted by the abundance of revenue
to increase the navy beyond our needs.
or to expend a dollar unnecessarily.
'"The cost of military protection has
frequently been compared with that Of
insurance upon property. The compar-
ison is not inapt, and has a special
significance in considering naval ex-
penditures. l have caused a compari-
son to be made between the national
valuation and navel expenditures. A
table FSiay1ted in this H}onner, show
ing the percentage of the total proper
ty of the United States devoted to the
support of the navy by ten years peri-
ods in the last century, shows an aver
age annual expenditures of $0.00123 for
each dollar OF the valuation.
1.-The expenditures for the fiscal year
1908 were $S2,6lS.O34. BY reasonable
approximation. the valuation for that
year was $106, ,239 ,26G,S72.
Thus there was expended for this
year for each dollar Of national valua-
tion $0.00077. II the average of the
last century had been reached. the ex-
penditures would have been $130,674,-
29S."

morning says With one striker

chances to recovery and a fourth
wounded and in jail, the results of the
battle at Segundo Monday night, the
southern coal fields We're in state OF
intense excitement all yesterday, and
the slightest hostile move will pre-
cipitste dangerous rioting among the
Italian strikers, who are frenzied with
drinking and ready to invade the town
of Segundo at any provocation, real or
imagined.
A Trinidad special last night says:
Investigation at Primero and Segundo
to-day proved that the ambushing of
the party of five non-union men under
Tom jennings on the road from Ber-
wind last night was deliberately
planned and that the men escaped
with their lives and with only one of
them slightly wounded through the
foot was due, not to any mild desire
on the part of the strikers only to
scare the men. but to their poor aim.
The battle at the coke ovens was the
result of this attack AS soon as it be-
came known that the non-union men
had been ambushed guards were or

assemble the various parts of the ma

approaching, Professor Langley called
his chief assistant. Mr.. Manley aside.
and gave him his last instructions Tho
latter then donned his life jacket and
entered the car. After q few moments
he set the machinery in motion and tho
propellers rapidly revolved. Then he
gave the signal, and an instant later
there was a crash. The after part OF

Professor Langley. after witnessing
the disaster to the flying machine, said
that the machine itself was not at fault

Washington. Dec. 9.-Under weather
conditions which We're regarded as per
feet, the Langley airship or aero-plane
yesterday was given a second trial a
short distance from Washington down
the Potomac. the result being the com
plete wrecking of the airship Every
thing had been in readiness for the
trial for some days, so that it was felt
that all that was needed for the test
was the right sort of wind and
weather. Yesterday afternoon these
conditions presented themselves and
the test was made under auspicious
conditions. On the word being given
to launch the aero-plone it glided
smoothly along the launching tramway
until the end of the tramway was
reached. when, on being left to itself
the aero-plane broke in two and turned
completely over, precipitating Profess
sor Charles NJ. Manley. who was oper-
ating 1t, into the icy water beneath the
tangled mass. A number of launches
contained newspaper men and others
Immediately steered for the spot, but
before they could reach Professor Man
ley one of his assistants leaped over
board and brought him aboard the
house-boat on which the launching
tramway was laid. Professor Langley
was present to witness the test, and
appeared crestfallen when he saw the
product of months of study and labor
combined with an enormous eXpendi-
ture of money, disappear beneath the
water close to where he was standing
aboard a tug.
When Professor Manley appeared
aboard the house boat early vest erday

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Naval Bureau Report.

The annual report of Admiral H. C.
Taylor, chief of the bureau of nayiga-
ton, recommends the creation OF a
general staff of the navy, the appoint
ment of two vice admirals, one for the
Asiatic station and one for the North
Atlantic station, material increase in
the number of officers and the addition
of number of cruisers to the navy.
AS affecting the personnel of the ma
w, Admiral Taylor mentions defeat
which he says is common to most mill
taly services, whether at sea or on
land, namely, the advadced age at
which officers reach the more impor-
tant commands. The duty of command
ing battleship and fleets of battle
ships, he says. is one which requires,
together with 4 large experience and
ability, the energy and nervous endur-
ance which is found as rule among
men much younger than those who will
command your battleships and fleets
for some years to come. AS a remedy
for the present defect he urges the re-
tirement OF officers when they have
reached a certain age in a certain
grade. He suggests that an officer OF
fifty years, who has not attained the
rank Of captain. retire, and that a cap
tain, who is fifty-five has not reached
the grade of rear admiral, retire.
After urging an addition to the SER
vice of thirty lieutenant commanders
and fifty lieutenants, Admiral Taylor
says that at present lieutenants are do
ing the duty which should be done by
lieutcnantS commanders.
