Declares a Large Navy Is Neces:

Influence. .. .-.a

Washington, Feb. 12.-In the report
Of the naval appropriation bill to the
house to- day by Chairman FOss of the
naval affairs committee, the gauntlet
thrown down by Senator German in
his announced policy of internal i'm
provements in place Of naval construc-
| ton Is taken up with vigor. The re-
port says: ."
! The committee recommended the con-
struction of more than the usual number
of cruisers in view of the fact that last
year we provided for five large battle
ships. This will give a better proportion
to our navy.
/ If we judge public sentiment, it is in
favor of the continuance Of the policy Of
building up our navy. If we stopped now
we would be left behind the leading coun-
tries Of the world.
The American people will not indorse the
policy of sacrificing the American navy
for internal improvements, nor is there
any such necessity.
Foremost and above all, must stand con-
sideration of national defense and main
terance of our foreign policies and pro-
lection Of American citizens everywhere
The American people are not willing tt
lessen their influence on this hemisphere
nor forsake their interests on the other.
To complete all the ships authorized VI
to the present time, including their con.
struction and machinery, armor and anna.
ment and equipment, will cost $82, $50
which may be divided as follows:
;, Construction and machinery, SAG, 532.4 $50
Armor and armament, $35, 1856, 200.
Equipment, 100000.
The ships authorized are: One first
class battleship of 10000 tons, COS
Sits, 1000; two frst-class armoret
,, cruisers Of 14,500 tons, cost (each
$6,505,000; three scout cruisers of no
more than $3.50 tons, cost (each
: s2,2OO,0OO; two Golfers to be capabl
Of accompanying the battle fleet, t
carry 5000 tons of cargo coal, tota
\ Of cost of each to be $2,100,000.
It is stated that the greatest nava
problem of the day is the training G
men for the navy. An increase c
5000 men is proposed, and trainin

SKIING IN The
YELLOWSTONE
SOLDIERS USE THE SNOW.
SKATES IN MAKING ROUNDS.
They Were Adopted After Several
Forms of Snowshoes Had Been
Tried and Abandoned-How the
Park Is Patrolled in the Heavy
Winters that Reign There.

Scandinavians and Firms are not the
only people in America who use skis.
Out in the mountain valleys Of Ne
vada everybody is an expert on the
ski and for years it has been the pop
ular means Of getting over the snow,
which is very deep.
Uncle Sans soldiers in Yellowstone
Park are also expert ski-runners.
Ski-running is both a winter sport
and a business among the scouts and
soldiers employed in the national park
to enforce the regulations Of that great
federal game preserve and scenic Won
derland. Skis are used as a means of
communication between the Isolated
winter stations, and travelling on them
the men carry provisions to these sta
tons from the headquarters at Fort
Yellowstone. The nearest Of these sta
tons to the fort is at Norris Geyser
Basin, distant twenty miles, and the
farthest, on Snake river on the Pacific
side, distant ninety miles. Along the
routes are twenty emergency cabins.
Each Is fitted up with a sheet-lron
stove, hunks and bedding and grub
bOx' rationed with flour, bacon, sugar,
tea, bareback and dried fruit. By
their use the scouts are enabled, to
watch the boundaries of the park with
some degree of comfort, sleeping at
night on a mattress in the warmth of
stove, where in years past, before the
cabins were built, the night was only
weary vigil by a Pickering fire in
| the snow. -.,a r.1 9-....
The use of the skis was introduced
by Captain Anderson in 1879 after it
was found that several kinds OF
snow shoes were not adapted for the
park. .-aD r
The great sport Of the soldiers dur
| ing the winter is in breaking in the
| new men who naturally have all the
mishaps that come to beginner.

"a QUEEN OF TEARS"
A New Book About Queen Matilda Of
Denmark.

TO the English world little is now
remembered about Princess Caroline
Matilda of Great Britain, daughter of
George III. Of England, who married.
Christian VII. of Denmark and Nor
way. Queen Matilda lived to be only
% years old, but she was married at
an age when other girls are still in
+, short dresses and play with dolls and
she crowded into her short life a long
story of adventure and romance. Her
story, long since forgotten except, per-
haps, in Denmark, has been written by
w. H. Wilkins and the book is to be
called "a Queen of Tears She has
been written about in English, French,
German and Danish and has fur
nished plots for dramas and operas.
England came near declaring war
against Denmark on her account, but
this was very long ago, for Queen
Caroline Matilda died in Its.
| Matilda, who was educated Tar be-
yond the women of her day, was be-
| trothed. for reasons of state at the
tender age of 1914 years to a man who
was subject to epileptic fits, and who
had about as little spirit as a human
being could have. rE =
DR.. Struensee, physician in ordinary
was the real monarch Of Denmark and
Norway and in time he had as com
plete control over the queen as over
the king, but by a different means.
Struensee was clever in his profes.

and courtier. If we are to judge by
the portrait Of him given in this book
he was not handsome, but he is said tc
have had a fine, manly figure and
most attractive manner. Matilda
knew him but slightly and dislikee
him heartily at first.
He was tremendously ambitious

ORIING'S NEW INVENTION
Can Telegraph Thirteen Times as
Swiftly as Before.

Axel Orling, the Swedish inventor,
whose name is linked with the Ar
morarl system Of wireless telegraphy,
has recently patented an ingenious de-
vice for increasing the speed in the
transmission Of telegraph or telephone
messages. It is technically known as
"the electro capillary recorder" The
main feature Of the transmitter is a
long tube filled with water. A key re-
leases mercury into the tube, the mer-
curry forming dots and dashes, accord
ing to the length Of the pressure on
the key. And it is these columns Of
mercury which sends the message: It
is said that messages may be sent thir-
teen times as fast by this invention as
by the ordinary apparatus for tele-
era Dhing.
