appetite and sound digestion. II is OF

New Ships for the Navy.

1t is now probable that the naval an
preparation bill. as presented to Con
gress, will be changed as regards its
main provisions for new ships, so that
instead of recommending the construc-
ton of two battleshipS of the Gin
necticut class and two cruisers of the
Tennessee class, three battleshipe and
only one cruiser will be recommended.
Although the number Of ships of the frs;
class called for will be the same, the
change involves great increase in
actual fighting power, for there can be
no comparison in this respect between
CONNECTICUT and Tennessee" Al
though it is claimed by some naval Of
tcers that the Tennessee" could put M
a stiff tight against many modern battle
ships, ii is certain that She could not
stand up very long against our own
"COnnecticUt" the total number of
heavy guns on the cruiser is twenty.
while the total number ON the battle
ship is twenty-four. 1t would be a case
OF four l0-inch guns against four T.
inch, and sixteen G-inch guns agan>t
twelve I-inch and eight S-inch guns.
while as against the 5-inch armor of the
cruiser the ba-tleship would offer Il pra-
lection Of II inches. In addition IL tha
three 5atticShlps and the armored cruiser,
Congress VIII be asked to authorize Two
training ships and Il small brig for train
ing the younger apprentices in our navy.
While there is reason 10 be gratiied
with the proposal as thus drawn up
we cannot but regret that steps are not
being taken by the present Congress to
commit the country 10 an elaborate pro.
Gfamme of construction, calling for a
certain nuhber of ships to he built each
year. the appropriations to be voted as
they are required. Such course would
insure steady growth of the navy along
predetermined lines. and at the same
time it would be sufficiently elastic to
allow of supplementary programmes be-
ing passed mt any time--a method which
is being followed with great success in
the German navy. Another provision Of
the naval bill which will meet with uni
versal approval is that for an increase
IN the personnel to correspond with the
increase in the number OF ships in com
mission. The bill will call for the I'M
mediate doubling OF the number of cadets
III the Naval Academy; when it is passed
one OF the most serious defects in the
naval policy of this country will have
been remedied.-Scientific American.

ITS PRESIDENTS GROW RICH
Venezuela's Executives Come Out
Office Exceedingly Wealthy.

4 representative Of the Daily Tglo.
graph had en- interview yesterday with
gentleman who has been well acquaipt.
Ell with Venezuela for many years mast
and has been associated with sqvnroi
important industrial undertakings in that
country. According TO his view. the ono
chance of salvation would he the plac-
ing of the customs under European con.
trojan event, however. which is nor
likely to take place. Venezuela i-Salf
teens with natural resources. Auar-
from its mineral wealth, it grows almost
anything, and its coffee and cocoa ara
considered to be the best i'll the world
The trouble is that the people, who. lefT
10 themselves, would be content to RIM
the land and otherwise lead an inIus-
trious life, are ruled by class of broken
down journalists and lawyers, whose one
object is to get into power for the sake
of what they can make during their
term of office.
1T may seem incredible" said our in.
formant, bur not many years ago, Oh
the day before DR.. Palacio was elected
President, he was unable to get credit
for the price of a ham. Yet in fourteen
months he retired to the more genial
cline of Paris with 100000, and | can
guarantee the accuracy of the amount
because | assisted in coun ing the boxes
of bullion in which the treasure was sent
TO Europe. The fact is, the one ohipcr
of the government is to divide as much
of the revenue as it can among its menu
bers and 10 spend as h,tle as possible
upon the administration of the country
The revenue returns that are supplied
are wholly untrustworthy, and few peo-
pie except the inner ring know what If
really is. The late President Crpsno
used TO send down every day. including
saints days and Sundays. to the treas
nary for $500. which he said was due 70
him for his salary as President, 50 thar
he regarded his position as being worth
ut least E130000 year.
"The huge fortune which was made by
the now deceased Guzman Blanco is
matter of history, but it is not SO well
known that when he retired from tho
presidency he went to Paris az envoy
extraordinary. with Il salary of f25 GOO
a year in addition TO expenses. one item
of these expenses on one occasion be-
ing $4,000 for a ball.
"Of course, if the government class
lives in this extravaganza manner ana
fails to pay the subordinate officials. the
latter have TO earn their living by GET
ting backsheesh wherever they can No
one who has not had practical experience
can realize the infinite ANNOYANCE 10
which foreign industrial undertakings
are subjected unless they are prepared
to pay handsomely for being left alone
To take oniy one instance, the Ia Guayra
harbor was undertaken on q government
guarantee of I per cent. but. owing 10
the constant interference of government
officials, the company was eventually
glad to relinquish the guarantee in CON
sderation of being allowed to carry on
its business in peace."-LOndon TcIe-
