AS TO NAVAL sTRENGTH.l

Recent years have seen marked de-
svclopments and swift changer in the
relative fighting strength of the great |
powers upon the sea. According to
the new edition of Brassey's Naval
Annual recognized authority, the
United States is now the second naval
power of the world. Brassey's esti-
mate is based on tonnage and numbers
combined. It shows real lighting
strength. doubtless, as we'll as that can
possibly be figured on paper. Actual
superiority between two closely
matched navies, involving as it would
questions of equipment, training, Off
csring, etc, could hardly be determined
other than by a test at war.
Is our present navy really superior
10 Japan's? Could it. in short, whip
Japan. Tha, is question OF some.

!. -EIss Saturday Review, it is evident, is
nat wholly clear as to which is really
the better navy. Brassey. however, SO
far as figures can go, Is positive. The
United States navy outranks Japan's
and stands second to that Of Great
Britain.
This country has twenty-five first
class battleships ready for service
Japan has exactly half as many II
arst-class cruisers the difference IN
strength is less marked, but the United
States is safely ahead. Japan's plans
for the future look to q navy of twenty

AND III CAME TO PASS.

AND IT CAME TO lass.
Tho Southern cotton goods manu-
Yfacturers and exporters Of cotton goods
before the Interstate Commerce. Cons
missionRin what is known as tho cot
ton uiffarential rate cases, says the
Washington correspondent Of the Bal
tiinore Sum-
"The complaint alleged that the
.transcontinental railroads granted a
lower rate to the New England mills
shipping to Japan and China, thereby
subjecting the Southern cotton manu-
facturers III Georgia. South Carolina
and other States to unjust discrimina-
ton in alleged violation 3of5tl.a railroad
rate law, The commission, in the
opinion Which it Will hand down within
the next fortnight will take tho posi-
ton that the lower rates granted to
the New England cotton manufacturers
by the railroads are not, upon the rec
ord of the case, Unreasonable.
1.-THE commission holds TO the view
that since the transcontinental rate is
regulated by tho water competition to
the Orient from New York., the New
England mills are entitled to a differ
entail based upon the difference in the
rate from New England to New York
and the rate from the South to New
York. lnasmuch as New England pos
sesses the geographical advantage Of
being nearer New York than the
i Southern mills the commission in-
1 clines to the opinion that the New
England mills ere entitled to a
slightly lower through rate to the
l Orient"
4 This announcements is In fulnlnent OF
a prophecy made by Major James II:
Dooley, and seconded by The Tlmes-
\ Dispatch, when the question Of cons
4 ferring upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power of rate making
was under discussion. The Interstate
Commerce Commission Ia composed Of
Northern and Western men, and it was
. predicted that If they were granted
Z the power to make rates it8would be
but human for them to favor N ortherrl
! and Western territories. We do not
say that the decision above noted is
unfair or made in sectional spirit
!, but it Is a decision against the South
in favor of New England, and it makes
& clear the fact that the ia alternating
!. power is able to build UP and to de-
I, stroy. It is clear that the Interstat,
. Commerce Commission has the power
!. whether / exercises it or not, to built
! up the cotton industry of New Eng
. land at the expense OF the cotton in
/. dustry of the South. 1t also has tn
7 power to build UP the iron Industry o
Pittsburg, and destroy the iron industr
. of birmingham. Tho Birmingham dis

! in favor Of that district in order tina
4 the iron masters thereof might com

= Plttsburg district. The goyernmer
6 should regulate railroads and requir
9 them to give u good service at rea
"a sonable rates, but the right to Il
e rates in defiance Of competition an
n the natural laws Of trade is one of ii
a. most dangerous powers that the go,
IN ernment can exercise.

 Fraser sighed happily. "She's dear glrl," he murmured, looking back to where the lamp was moving about in Divers spare room. Shed make a wife for a prince"
 Presently he reused himself with another sigh. "You ought to see the way we fixed up the shack" he said. "White kick up curtains on the win dows-that was Mrs. Divers idea rose berries all over the mantel- Marylyn did that; I stuffed the fire place full of sumac; then Michael sprinkled and swept out, and we cov- cred the floor with Navajo blankets" Little place looked cozy."

 Lounsbury was his former self, save for the plaster strips that had SUD- planted the bandages. Everywhere at once, he put the grip of two men into his well arm, smiling upon all like the very genius of happiness.

Above it her hair was braided and coiled upon her head like a crown. Her cheeks were glowing red. Her eyes shone.
 All was bedlam. Tongues clattered. Cups rattled. Laughter rose and fell. The seven, having no chairs, sat in a line under the leadership of Felicia and kicked their heels on the floor.
 Then-interrupting-a knock, loud, peremptory. The company stilled. Janlieson open ed. There stood jolly fgure-the sut- lers-apple round head and all.
 ''Well, Blakely?' asked the captain.
 Blakely hung his weight on a foot and, coughing behind his plump hand, bobbed his answer, "Steam's up, sir"
