ENGLAND'S NAVY
 FEARS NJ ATTACK Speech of Admiral Defends Ef-
 ficiency of Fleet BANQUET OF LORD MAYOR Premier mpbelI-Bannerman concrat- ulates David LIoyd-Georee Upon
 the Outcome of the
 Threatened Strike.

London, November 10.-The celebration Of the 9th anniversary of the birth of King Edward VII, was brought to a fitting close at the inauguration ban quet of the new Lord Mayor of London, Sir John c. Bell at Guild hall last night. For the first time since the brief regime of Lord Rosebery in the early sos a liberal prime minister occupied the posi- tion of honor. The premier, Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, who last year was unable to attend the Lord Mayors ban quet, owing to the death of his wife, was in his place tonight and delivered the principal speech of the evening in reply to the toast of his majestys min isters
 Departing from the usual rule the premier referred in his opening remarks to domestic affairs, especially congratu- lating David Lloyd-George, president of the Board of Trade, upon the settlement of the dispute between the railways and their employees. Touching on foreign af- fairs Sir Henry said the results obtained at The Hague peace conference had not come up to his most sanguine expecta tions but he was glad he had not been over sanguine in his expectations, for he had spoken for nation which had no aggressive designs upon Its neighbors and desired only to live in peace and amity toward all.
 : The Hague conference, declared the premier, was a plant of slow growth, but in which he had great confidence and believed the day will come when there will be a cessation in the mad race for armaments which now is the scourge of our common civilization.
 Sir John A. Fisher, senior naval lord of the admiralty, in replying to recent attacks upon the navy, pointed out that in the recent North sea maneuvers there were gathered 26 of the finest battleships in the world and 26 cruisers, many of which were superior to any foreign bat tleshp and even this great fleet repre- scented only fraction of Great Britain's naval power Besides, he said, the gun nery and general efficiency of the Eng fish fleet surpassed all records and was a matter of wonder and admiration.
 "The object of the admiralty, said Sir John, has been one of instant readi- ness and we have got it. Don't be dis turbed by the bogie of invasion. One might as well talk of embarking St. Pauls cathedral on penny steamer as embarking 100000 German soldiers to invade F,ngland

A close study of work already done between Mobile and Rome, Ga, along the Alabama and Coosa rivers, leaves the inn- presson, in relation to the lower river, of a narrow view of the problem in- volved in providing navigation between these two points. Yet in justice to ear Her appropriations it is right to add that the temporising efforts along line of great potentialities have been in keeping with much similar work done throughout the United States, under the old prevalent idea that appropriations were the great aim in life for con- gressonal activity, whether the appro- priations bore relation or not to a we'll rounded and permanent development of the riches of the country as whole.
 Let us look at the broader aspect of the problem first. The mileage involved, including the feeders formed by the Tal- lapoosa above Montgomery, and the Cahaba, near Selma, approaches 1OOO miles, awaiting canalization or improve ment.

The New York Herald suggests the
following as a measure for relief in a
financial stringency:
sit is a condition, not a theory,
that confronts the country. 1t is
now universally recognized that the
cure for boarding and contraction on
the part of the public in a crisis is
liberal and immediate expansion.
This is what the Bank of England
does when in emergencies the bank
act is temporarily suspended and
credit notes are issued to supply all
demands.
Gin the present crisis here the ext
gencies of the situation could be met
by an issue of government legal ten
der notes to the amount of, say, 5000,
900. 900, to be redeemed in a veal or
perhaps convertible into government
bonds within a stipulated period.
The credit of the United States gov
eminent is the highest on earth, and
the notes thus issued to meet the
emergency would be accepted as being
good as gold
"Mere notice of such a measure
might restore confidence and causing
release of boarded funds render their
actual issue unnecessary"

A Perfect Case.

A Washington dispatch says that
the financiers and trust magnates
agreed that if the administration will
give them asset currency they will
not make a fight against the admins.
tration's federal control of corpora
tions plan. What a very generous
offer. 1t is indeed one of the most
perfect instances of 'head | win,
tails you lose"
The asset currency plan is entirely
too cumbersome and in cases like the
present Wall street scare it would
lack the confidence necessary to pre-
vent boarding. The government is
the only financial power in which al
the people have confidence.

 PRISON SENTENCE
Found Guilty of Obtaining Money on Checks Under
 False PretenSeS.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 29.-.(Sl ecialD- D-
 -Four months and fifty dollars" is the latest entry in the already much bescribbled life record Oook of z Skalmer, step-son of William Kline of this city, alleged late inmate of the Arkansas penitentiary and a ire quent wrong-doer, who. sometime since obtained fraudulently the sum of s30-twenty of which was from Scott and Thornton and ten from Mike Lea hy-by giving checks on the First Ma tional bank which, when presented, were turned down, there being no funds in the bank to the credit of Skalmer
 The trial occurred this morning in the court of Justice Buttner of Pirtle- vile, having been taken from Justice Rice's court on a change of venue. Skalmer sought to evade punishment for his irregular conduct on the ground that both the checks declared fraudulent were dated one month ahead at the time they were accepted and cashed by the complaining wit nesses, and that they were therefore not yet due. Justice Buttner did not consider that phase of the case as being just defense and held that it was apparent that Skalmer's intent was to defraud
 Skalmer was defended by Attorney John McGowan while Assistant Pros ecuting Attorney Ross conducted the case of the territory. It is possible an appeal will be taken but as yet no notice of such intent on the part of counsel for the defendant has been given. Skalmer will probably be of for the county jail at Tombstone to- morrow.
