Big Battleships.

The announcement that the United
States will build a battleship Of l9,4OO
tons displacement, or about 1000 tons
over the gigantic Dreadnaught, which
has just been launched by King Ed
ward, is possibly the forerunner of a
navy construction which will put all
nrevious exertions in this line in the
shade. " .a..
Naval experts have unanimously
come to the conclusion that the efficacy
of big battleships was demonstrated by
the success of the Japanese in both
handling and fighting them. The lar
gest ship the Japanese had was the
flagship Mikasa, which had a displace-
ment under 10000 tons; but the Mlkasa
was the mainstay Of the Japanese
squadron, and in battle she did not be-
lie the confidence placed in big ships
carrying heavy guns. III
If, therefore, the battleship Is the
approved form of. naval fighter, then
the larger she can be made and the
longer the carrying power Of her guns
and the greater her speed, the better
for the country which sends her forth.
The experts decline to admit that the
limit of size, combined with effective
ness, has been reached. The Dread
naught is a perfectly practical ship;
then why not one a little larger9
This is the argument Of the ship
building nations. But if there is no
limit upon the size Of ships which may
be built, there will be attained M day
another imit-that of the pocketbook
of the so-called naval powers. Will
France, Germany, Japan, the United
States and Great Britain be able in

Of shipbuilding7 The appropriation for
the newest big ship Of the American
navy is $4,000 ,O00. Japan borrows
money at 5 per cent. Every battleship
Of the new class would add half a mil
lion dollars to her interest account. Six
such ships would perhaps be necessary
to form a squadron-a little matter of
So, 900 900 annually in interest, to say

OF THE Ex.PREslpEN7

Corporal Tanner tells in the Ladies'
Journal of the tragedy of the ex-
president" 1t is worthy Of preservation
by every man in high official or business
life who deceives himself into the belief
that he receives difference and attention
on account Of his own personality and not
on account Of his position.
On the 9Th day Of March, 1885, I called
on ex-President Arthur, Who had not
yet quit Washington, and was staying at
the house Of his secretary Of state, Mr..
Frelinghuysen. To my intense surprise,
MIR. Arthur, when: he learned that my visit
was only a personal and friendly one, was
SO affected that tears came to his eyes.
Tanner" he said. II never before knew
the tragedy Of the ex-president. Until
noon of the 4th of March men were
crowding each other for the privilege OF
speaking to me. I was treated with pro-
found Difference. n sought by every
body. Since that hour i have been alone
and neglected. Tanner, you are the first
man who has called upon me since noon

Our Position in China

The American boycott in China,
whether we deserved it or not, seems to
be an assured fact. The Chinese have
taken hold Of it with enthusiasm and
there is no longer any doubt that there
is a systematic effort to punish this
nation for the sins Of a few citizens
thereof. This may not be an evidence
Of that boosted high state of civiliza-
tion in China, but it is a lesson we have
they have learned it.
It seems, however, rather illogical
that the country which prevented China
from being dismembered, the country
whose soldiers refused to loot freely in
Picking and the country which returned
to the Chinese treasury the indemnity
awarded for the Boxer outrages should
be the one and the only one to suffer in
trade with the Chinese since. The
trouble has been caused by our gay
