BRITAIN's NAVAL STANDING.
Controversy as to whether II Ex-
ceeds Two-POwer Standard.

From the Army and Navy Journal
The number of battleships building
and projected has lately formed the
subject of several questions in Parlia-
nent The following figures show the
total tonnage of battleships building
and projected:
Great Britain, 1S7, 900; Russia, 1875, 27O;
Germany, 103,976; United States, 209,-
$50.
1t is further stated, as regards bat
tleships projected, that the number
ara:
Great Britain, 2; United States, /;
but that the admiralty have no knowl-
edge of the four Russian and two Ger
man ships alleged in some quarters to
be projected. The numbers actually
under construction are again given as:
Great Britain, 8; Russia, s. Germany
s; United States. 10.
In this connection Mr.. Edmund Rob-
ertson, NJ. p, contributes an article
to the Nineteenth Century, in which
he argues that the two-power standard
has been exceeded by Great Britain. To
this article Lieut.. Carlyon Bellairs has
retorted in a letter to the Times by
giving recent foreign tabulations of
relative strength in battleships. These
tabulations, culled from the best
sources, indicate that British numeri-
cal superiority In modern battleships
hardly, IL at all, exceeds the two-power
standard.

TRAGIC TALE OF
A PHILIPPINE DOG.
From the New york Mail.


Washington, May 25.-It vas a Phil-
, ippine lap dog. Two months ago when
the Pacific Mail liner poked her nose
inside the Golden Gate at San Fran
cisco the dog was on deck with its own
era woman returning from the East
When the liner locked at San Fran
cisco the cold eye of the customs man
fell upon the dog. The chances We're
ten to one that he did not know, but
the single chance won. Back in the re-
cesses of the brain of that customs in
srector there fingered a faint recolle :
tion that somewhere. at some time, 1t
had been called to his attention that
Congress had passed law prohibiting
the Importation Of animals from the
Philippines. The dog surely was an
animal. So he was seized.
Then started comedy and a tragedy
that reached half way round The world
and back again. The customs people
at San Francisco notified the Treasury
department. at Washington that they
had seized and were holding fer in
structions one lap dog from the Philip
zines. The treasury people in Wash
ington knew why Congress prohibited
the importation of all animals from the
Philippines. II was because Filipino
animals are pretty generally diseased.
But clearly Congress was not legisla tirg
against pet poodle dogs. That seemed
bit ridiculous.
However, there was nothing to do
about II except to refer the case to the
Secretary of Agriculture. who has the
say In such matters. So over went
the papers to Secretary Wilson, and he
referred them to the chief of the di-
vision of animal industry. learned

BRYAN ON PARKER.
What the Twice-Defeated Candidate
Says of the Prospective One.

What the Twice-Defeated Candidate
Says of the Prospective One.
New York, June IA letter from
William j. Bryan to M. ]. Palliser,
who has called an anti-Parker meeting
here, was made public here to-day. 1t
approves the anti-Parker movement
and says:
The argument made in favor of
Judge Parker is not that he is in any
way fitted for the position, because his
fitness cannot possibly be ascertained
without a knowledge of his views on
public questions. The argument made
by his friends is that he can win, and
they base their belief on the fact that
as he has never said anything in con-
Meeting with pending questions, he had
no record that can be used against
him. His virtues are purely negative,
and his friends think it sufficient that
the Democrats send him forth as a
candidate with the Endorsement We
sknow nothing against him.
1T is the first time, in recent years
at least that a man has been urged
for so high a position on the ground
that his opinions are unknown. Surely
the Democratic party is in desperate
straits if among all of its members it
cannot find a trustworthy man who
has ever been interested enough in
public questions to give expression to
his opinion. In the great contest be-
tween Democracy and plutocracy our
party should take positive and ag-
gressive stand, and it should present a
standard bearer who will infuse cour-
age among the masses"

States Senator James H Berry for one
of the big four" The contest which

The committee will pass on the dele
