 Eight colliers accompany the fleet. The Marcellus, Hannibal, Leonidas and possibly the Sterling accompany the fleet to Trinidad, and then re- turn for more coal. Others will go as far as Rio and return to join the fleet again at Magdalena bay, and all that have free space tween decks will carry general supplies for the Mare Island navy yard. The Connecticut carries 150 tons of briquettes made of slack coal and pitch to test them as suitable fuel for use in the navy. The cost of coaling, exclusive of the amount of coal carried by the ships from Norfolk to Trinidad, will be $1,229, ,2S0, sum more than equal to the bonded debt of the state of Idaho or the state of Washington.

Hampton Roads, Va, Dec 16.-The departure today of the great Atlantic squadron for the Pacific is only an other of the many great proofs of the nations marvellous growth and deyel- opment. The iron clad warship is only 46 years old, yet passing through a process of swift evolution to it's pres ent perfection, this American discov- cry has revolutionized the science of naval warfare throughout the whole world. There are now 270 vessels in commission in the United States navy where at one time, in Washington's administration, there was not one. Of these there are 13 battleships of the first and second class, carrying guns into whose mouth this country's first and only "commander-in-chief of the navy" Esek Hopkins, might easily have hidden his disgraced head when an outraged continental congress sum- marily dismissed him.
 It was in Hampton Roads that the first chapter in the worlds history of iron clads was written. It was in Hampton Roads that the nation gathered Is of her finest sea fighters ready for trip of nearly 10000 miles Where the Merrimac swung clumsily across the channel long ago and drove terror to the hearts of seamen who had never yet seen such a monster, iron clads as graceful and as swift as greyhounds have come and gone all summer until they have become fa- miliar sight. Among these is the Minnesota, the largest of Uncle Sams big battleships, and next only in size to the Dreadnaught, which King Ed ward of England launched with such ceremony a year or so ago, and to the Satsuma, Japan's new monster of the deep.

History of American Navy.

The first appropriation made for navy for this country was that of the continental congress in 1775, and the sum of $100,0O0 was expected to pur- chase, equip and generally outfit 13 ships. For the present year, ending July, 1908, the navy will have needed $125 04l .399, an increase of $5,000,000 over last year. Nine million alone go for ordnance stores. The last appro- priation of congress for the building of ships was $20,000 900 to be expended on two big ships. each of which Is to measure 510 feet in length, 85 feet beam, and make 21 knots an hour Three million dollars was appropri- ated for submarines of the Holland type, and in September five torpedo boat destroyers were contracted for. Think of this in comparison with the $100, 900 that cost the continental con- gross so much thought, and which was furnished by the people of the colo nies after SO much privation.
 "If we are to have commerce we much have navy to defend it." wrote Col. Humphreys from the Barbary States in 1793 after he had been sent to see if there were means of stop ping the piracy of Algiers and Tripoli on American trading vessels. For years the nation had endured the hu- initiation of paying tribute to these countries, and after Washington had
