FLEET TO GO

both oceans, the Atlantic and the Pa
cific.
On the contrary, it is regarded at the
navy department as better policy to
maintain one perfectly equipped, we'll
drilled fleet, free to move at will to any
part of the globe at short notice, and
the present plans contemplate the
increase of the strength of the existing
fleet from IS to % battleships.
This will afford a command as large
as can be properly directed by any one
officer and 1t will moreover about mark
the capacity of ports and drydocks in
any particular section of the world, so
1t is asserted positively at the depart
ment that there is not the least intention
of keeping the battleships which will go
to the Pecific permanently in those
waters
That fleet, it is added, will surely re-
turn to the Atlantic seaboard after 1t
has fulfilled it's mission and demonstrate
ed the feasibility of transferring such a
vast naval force between oceans.
Is Drydock Leased?
BERLIN, Sept ga special dispatch
from Shanghai says that the United
States has taken a five years lease Of
Norvik bay, south of vladivostok. and
mas also leased IOr next winter the uOdl-
ing drydock of Vladivostok
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Acting Secre-
tary Newberry of the navy department
today said there was no truth in the
Shanghai report that the United States
has leased for five years a coaling sta
ton in Norvik bay. Regarding a report
from the source that the United States
had leased for next winter the floating
dry dock at Vladivistok, Mr. Newberry
said: "That would be just as much use
to the navy as a canal on Mars"
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The navy de-
partment has decided to christen the 2O,-.
000-ton battleship No. %, sister ship to
the Delaware, the New York. This can
be effected by changing the name of the
armored cruiser of that name to the

turned over, derailing the engine and
twelve cars. The tank of the engine Is

NATION OF SALT EATERS.

A Barrel n Year Is Consumed for
Every Three Persons.
The United States consumes 26,S72,-
TOO barrels OF salt annually, or a bar
rel for every three persons In the
land. Last year it went abroad for
only 1851 1913 barrels. In 1880 63.5
per cent of the salt used In our coun-
try was Of home production. Last year
e5.7 per cent Of the product consumed
was produced within the borders of
this country. In 1880 the consumption
in this country was only 9,3S4, 26S bar
rels. Thus we see that the people OF
the United States are using annually
three times as much salt as they used
twenty-six years ago.
Only 5,961 900 barrels were pro
duced In this country In 1890, and the
consumers were forced to 60 abroad
for 3,427, $3.50 barrels Last year the
total production at home was $685.
122 barrels.
The chief salt-producing States are
Michigan and New York. Statistics
Recently BdlhSESu ny Lu0 SOVGFunSuI
show that the combined output Of these
two States amounts to more than two
thirds OF the total production Of the
United States.
No attempt has ever been made to
ascertain what per cent OF the salt
consumed In the United States is used
for culinary purposes: The annual
output Is consumed in the industries OF
meat-packing, fish curing, dairying and
the like. The chlOrination of gold Ores
demands large quantity, and great
quantities of salt in the form Of brine
are used in the manufacture Of soda
ash, caustlc soda and other saltA Salt
Is cheap. The average price for 1905
was a little over % cents a barrel
which Is lower than that reported N
any previous year. Dry salt, Of course
brings a higher price than brine. The
average price for dry salt last yeaV
was 81.51 cents a barrel.
