 Our coast defenses, as they existed in 1860, were not surpassed in efficiency by those of any other country, but Within a few years the introduction of rlfled cannon and armor in the navies of the world, against which the smooth bore guns were practically useless. ren- dered them obsolete. For many years no attempt was madeto remedy the deticiencies of these coast Notifications, There was no establishment in the country equipped for the manufacture of high power rified guns. There was no definite adopted policy of coast de- fense, and congress was reluctant to undertake a work the cost of which could not be stated even approximately. and the details of which had not been advanced-so far as could be ascertaifa- ed-beyond the experimental stages.
 AS 9 result the act of congress ap- proved March 3, 1885, provided that ths president of the United States shall aps point a board, which board shall examine and report ad What ports, Qualifications or other defenses are most urgently required, the char acter and kind of defenses best adapted to each, with reference to armaments, the utilization of torpedoes, mines and other defensive appliances.
