WORD FROM PEARY.

There has been some talk about the posi-
bility Of learning within the next few days
what measure of success has attended Peary' S
latest campaign in the north. Such hopes, we
are inclined to believe are too sanguine 1t is
doubtful whether any word can be received
from the explorer before September,
The Roosevelt was not equipped with wire
less telegraphic apparatus, as her commander
wished and any news which comes from him
this year must be conveyed by much slower
means. If Peary was able to get his ship into
winter quarters on the north coast Of Grant
Land last fall, he could not bring it down to
Batiin Bay again before the first or middle Of
August. The ice in the channel southwark from
the Arctic Ocean along the west coast of Green
land does not usually break up until after
midsummer. The Roosevelt could not escape
from her prison before that time, and month
more might be needed to reach St Johns, New
foundlsnd, from which point he would make a
report if he came back in person.
Were a special vessel sent northward with
letters and supplies from this country, as has
sometimes been done during previous absences
it would probably 90 to Etah or Cape Sabine
which have hitherto been the places of rem
devious appointed by Peary. So far as we are
aware, no arrangement of that sort has been
made for the present season. Moreover, neither
Etah nor Cape Sabine is accessible by ship be
fore August.
1t has been customary for Pearys friends,
when no other line of communication was
available, to send letters to him by Scotch or
American whalers which We're intending to visit
the north The last mail which was dispatched
to him went in that manner, and it is not IN
likely that he will utilize such facilities TO reply
The same embarrassInents which would beset
the effort to reach him by boat chartered ex-
pressly for the service, however, would be en-
countered by the stoutest sealers and whalers
The outlook for early news, therefore, is not
good.

THE NEW NAVAL PROGRAMME.

An amendment to the Naval Appropriation
bill in the Senate, calling for a specific report
on the plans for the one battleship which it was
proposed to authorize this year, would if
adopted entail considerable delay in the con-
structiOn of that vessel. 1t is not practicable
to obtain such d report before the close of the
present session, and hence there is a possibility
that the whole question may go over to another
year. Chairman Hale Of the Senate Committee
on Naval Affairs thinks that six months may
be required by the department to perfect the
plans. But there Is at least a likelihood that
if the government were free to go ahead the
contract could be let early next winter. If the
approval of Congress must be given to every
detail, work can hardly be begun before the sum-
mer or autumn Of 1907.
There undoubtedly was a departure from
precedent in clothing the Navy Department with
some discretionary power as to the displace-
ment and armament of the new ship, but the
House committee felt that there was good excuse
for the innovation. The keynote of the policy
to which it gave its sanction is that this country
should match the longest step forward of any
foreign power. More may, it IS true, be known
by the authorities at Washington within the
next few months than at the time of the recent
hearings. Not only Great Britain, but Japan,
Russia, Germany and France also, are now COM
mitted to the building of battleships dsplacng
eighteen thousand tons or more, but some of
these countries are still reticent in regard to de-
tails. The United States can certainly act more
intelligently on full than on imperfect infOrma-
ton. Besides, this almost universal movement
by all the great powers raises a number of Incl
dental problems which each will probably want
time to work out independently for itself. The
general principle OF increased gun power. die
tated by the Russo-Japanese War, having once
| been conceded, there still remain minor ques-
tions relative To its most effective application.
The House doubtless thought, however. that
| il was giving due consideration TO these facts in
| bestowing upon the department exceptional
| powers as to details. and that such delay as
| Mr.. Hale advocates was unnecessary. For a
variety of reasons naval construction takes place
much more slowly on this side of the Atlantic
! than ii should There has been slight improve
nent of late, but this country has not yet shown
ability to match the best work done for Eng
land and Japan. Two 16000ton battleships
completed for the latter within the last few
weeks (the Kashima and the Katori) were
built in about two years, and IL is expected that
| the Dreadnought (displacing eighteen thousand
! tonsl will be finished in twelve months from the
| laying OF her keel last October. Russia Ger
many and France have shown less enterprise.
