VICTORY FOR EXPANSION.
Comment From Mexico on President
RooseveIt's Election.

Mexico City. Mex, Nov. IL. The
result of the American election has
been discussed in political circles. The
Mexican Herald comments on the inn
mense and almost unprecedented ma
jorities by which the American people
have approved the record and Endorsed
the ideas of President Roosevelt and
have given him a mandate to continue
his vigorous foreign policy, which is
precisely what most interests foreign
nations. 1t says:
Definitely and in an unmistakable
manner the American electorate
stamps its approval on the imperial
istic and expansionist policy of the
dominant party. The mighty union
now commits itself to the retention
of all the insular territory acquired
from Spain in both oceans; to the
rapid pushing to completion of the
Panama canal; to the building up of
great navy and to the movement for
Strengthening the military arm of the
government.
The papers generally speak of Pres
ident Roosevelt as the imposing figure
on the international stage of the world,
of cosmopolitan education and wide
and varied accomplishments and as an
unique figure in the long line of
American presidents.

1T COSTS MORE.
Battleship Building in Government
Yards Is Expensive.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Although
recognizing the desirability of having
some of the government yards equip
ped for building naval vessels of the
largest size, Rear Admiral w. L.
Capps, chief constructor of the navy,
in his annual report published at the
navy department today says that "the
repairing and overhauling of the fleet
must at all times remain the import
ant work of navy yards and in time
of war their resources will be taxed to
the utmost in performing such work"
The navy, he says, is increasing so
rapidly that ample work will be pro-
vided for the navy yards by repairs
and reftS alone.
OF the work on the battleship Con-
necticut being built at the New York
yard, the chief constructor says that
despite every effort to reduce the cost
this first battleship to be constructed
in q government navy yard to an
economical basis sit can hardly be
hoped that the work can be done as
cheaply as when performed in private
shipbuilding yards, whose rates of pay
for nine hours work, in many cases,
is less than those being paid for eight
hours work at the navy yard in New
York. 1t may also be noted that pri-
vate ship yards do not pay their per
diem employees for holidays or when
on leave, whereas a very large pro-
portion of per diem employees on the
Connecticut receive pay for fifteen
days leave and seven public holidays
during the year without any work be-
ing done in return therefor" He adds
that the satisfactory results obtained
with the Connecticut have not been
accomplished without unusual effort.
Attention is called to the urgent
necessity for adequate docking facili-
ties for vessels of the feet and for the
building of pier and general improve
nrent of the berthing facilities at the
several yards. Admiral Capps earnest
" recommends that the department
permit the detail of three officers of
the construction corps as assistants to
the bureau of construction and repair.
Many improvements in navy yards are
recommended but the estimated cost
of this work is not included in the
portion of the report made public to-
day.
