OUR NAVY.

In a story, entitled The Fist of
the Nation" in this weeks Golfers,
Frederick Palmer indites an observ-
alton on the efficiency of our navy
and the enthusiasm of its officers,
that makes one feel like calling ia
pan over the long distance telephone
and telling them to come on, When
lie talks of the necessity OF practice
conditions approximating those OF
war. we feel the flush of shame man
tie our classic brow at remembrance
of certain criticisms we INDUCED
concerning the apparent disregard
for human life on our battleships;
and when he remarks in terms scarce
distinguishable from commentator
that the Georgia, after a bareback
in her turret, took only time to run
into Boston harbor with her dead
and then put back to the target
range, we felt almost provoked be
cause she lost the time, and wondered
for a moment why they didn't tie
cannon balls around the necks of the
corpses and throw them into the sea;
for what, after all, is a human be-
ing or a cockroach, compared to hit
ting a floating target rapidly and
often.
Palmer is right, though in his ul-
innate conclusion. II is the duty of
the navy to fight, and for that pur-
pose it must be kept in fighting trim
and fighting spirit. 1t is our bust
ness to keep the navy out of fights.
To the naval officers men are made
for governments. To US govern
ments are made for men; and when
a mans dead what matters 1t to him,
whether his tenement of clay rests
in Arlington cemetery or the Pot
ter's field.

Newport, r. l., Aug 30.-Con-
gresham George L. LIQUIDS, member
OF the house committee, which is in
speeding the naval stations along the
Atlantic seaboard, in an interview to
day said it was too bad that so much
money should be appropriated for

actually needed. LIQUIDS stated that II
was his plan to place dry dock In

openly stating their belief that Mr..
Campbei's informant must have

They were unanimous in the express
sion that there was no hope of Judge
Parker's securing any delegates from
Ohio. This view is taken because Of
the knowledge that in 1904 no dele

weeks and a federal secret service
man has just concluded one investi-
cation, but the police department

what Is considered real counterfeit

by the arrest last night of Fred Pryor

spurious silver dollar of the vintage

tender for e. c. Eaker, North Fourth

Pryors case was continued in the
police court, as the police think, If
he is guilty, he is the tool of the

arrest may be made today. The case
| is said to involve another counter
feiting case unearthed year ago.
Search is being made for other spn
rious coins believed to be in circula-
ton. to see If they correspond with
the one found on Pryor.
What makes Pryor's case worse, Is
the fact, that he is~said to have a
good dollar in his hand, and when
the bartender, putting the bad coin
in the cash register, took out 50
cents and requested that Pryor hand
over the good dollar Pryor obeyed
with alacrity and asked for the bad
dollar. He said he got IL in a Third

BRITISH WAR SCARE.
Rumors of Object of Kings Visit
to France

Special CableSram to The Star
LONDON. February 9.-'rhere was quite
a scare early in the week, especially on the
Paris bourse, over the rumored object OF
King Edwards visit to Paris. 1t was re-
peatediy asserted that a crisis had arisen
which was threatening the worlds peace.
and that the king had fastened to consult
French statesmen in an effort to avert
war.
The kaiser, of course, was. the object OF
suspicion. 1t was asserted that now that he
had secured free hand at home by defeat
ing the socialists he was already preparing
to give an order for full steam ahead in an
aggressive foreign policy. There is nothing
TO bear out this alarmist assumption. Ger
manys foreign policy has been too thor
oughly disorganiZed by the unexpected
Anglo-French entente to venture Yet upon
any bold aggression. That entente has
been strengthened instead of weakened by
German threats and German Establishments
1t is safe for the present against any Ger
man maneuveTs whatsoever.
That the kaiser will devote himself more
actively to foreign affairs i'm the future
than m the past few months goes without
saying. That he is planning any mmedi-
ate coup of sensational nature may DO
confidently denied.

GOING OVER DISTRICT BUDGET.
Commissioners Spend the Day With

The District Commissioners completed
their conferences with the Senate appropri-

committee room. In the course of the morn
ing the Commissioners presented to the
committee the trustees of the public library.
who made an argument for their estimates
through Librarian George +. Bowerman;
the board of education, who made the argu-
ment for their estimate through their presi-
dent. Rear Admiral George w. Baird; Mr..

The Commissioners in each case COM
mended to the committee the estimates of
the different boards, which they had ap
proved. They spent the afternoon with the
committee, going over the BILL and ex
pressed at the close their appreciation of
the courteous consideration which the COM
mittee had shown for their arguments. 1t
is expected that the bill will be reported to

Feeling of Other Members.

The other members of the subcommittee
de not feel the same way about it.. Repre-
sentative Littauer of New York. who intro
duced the resolution to increase the salaries
of members of Congress. is understood to
be against a general increase. certainly
along the lines of those proposed in pending
bills; Representative Bingham. as has been
stated, will not be factor in the commit
tees deliberations this session, and Repre-
sentative Brick of Indiana is understood to
be sort of betwixt and between. Represen-
,tative Burlesen, the other democrat besides
Mr.. Livingston, loses no opportunity OF de-
claring that he thinks most civil employees
of the government are paid enough and the
rest too much.
1t seems from present indications. that
something will be done. but This will prob
ably be nothing more than a provision in
one of the bills for the collecting of Stats
tics concerning the present salaries received
by all classes of government employees and
the increase that would be made in the an
nual budget by the passage of the various
increase measures now before the House
appropriations committee.

ADVERSE REPORT ON PARK.
District Commissioners Disapprove
Bill Providing One in Northeast.

When the Commissioners report upon Sem
ate bill 1885, tomorrow, a bill which pro-
vides for the establishment of a public
park at 18th and H streets and Maryland
avenue northeast, they will recommend adj
verse action, as the proposition does not
meet with their approval. The tract of land
designated in the bill for conversion into a
park is owned by the Graceland Cemetery
Company, and contains twenty-five acres,
which is assessed at ten cents a foot
The bill provides that S150,000 be appro-
priated for the purchase of this land, but
the Commissioners consider this sum too
expensive. They regard the property as
worth $1,000 an acre, and declare that $780,
$50 is Il fair price for the tract. In their re-
port upon the bill the Commissioners say
they believe this property is suitable for d
large public park and that SUCH park
would be desirable as there is no park in
that locality. They do not believe, how
ever, that the bill should name any specific
piece of property for the park. but that
Congress should appropriate the money and
leave the matter of selection entirely with
the Commissioners.
