that it would have been a physical i'm
possibility for the fleet to have made

though it was well known that the

Referring to the loss of the steamer
Aeon in the South Pacific, the gargoyle
OF the American ship subsidy advocates
remarks:
1T shows exactly what we may ex-
pect if We continue to go on relying
upon foreign shipowners to convey our
mails, freight, and passengers. They
will provide the slowest, most irregu-
lar, and generally meanest service that
they can, and we shall have to put up
with it for want of a better. They
will keep their best ships for their
own use, and give us their worst ships,
knowing perfectly well that they thus
handicap us in communicating even
with our own war fleets in distant ports
and in delivering our mails and our
goods to neutral markets."
This is rather rough on a Republi-
can administration which has been in
power for many years and seems to
be satisfied with the style of shipping
laws as we have them, otherwise they
might permit Americans to buy ships
for operation in competition with ana
on a par with the best in other lines.
AS for foreigners giving us their
worst ships" the foreigners might re-
tort that if they choose to trade with
us at all, it is for them to say with
what ships they are atisfied.-Ship-

Speaking of the movements of the
American battleship fleet, a dispatch
from Albany, West Australia, says:
The delay of one day here-the YES
sells were scheduled to leave Sept. IL
has been occasioned by the unreliable
ity of the chartered Golfers, a circum-
stance which in war time might be
attended with most serious results.
1t would be interesting to know in
this connection in what way the char
tered GOLFERS are unreliable and to
what extent that "unreliability" was
developed through lack of foresight on
the part of the Department of the
Navy.

ADMIRAL PRAISES
PEARL HARBOR BASE

the finest naval bases to be found any,

chief of the Bureau of Yards and
Docks, upon his arrival from Hawaii
on the liner Siberia. He has his head
quarters in Washington, d. c., and
went to Hawaii a few weeks ago to ms
pect Pearl Harbor and it's approaches.
81 only wanted to satisfy myself as
to local conditions at Pearl Harbor
and do not expect to be there again
for some time" added Admiral Holly
day. AS its last session Congress APP
propriated about S3,5O0000 for the es-
tablishment vi d naval base at Pearl
Harbor, and probably as much as ST.

the station can be made complete. 1t

In the meantime all necessary ware
houses, storehouses and wharves, ana
everything necessary to complete the
station will be built.
The naval station is to be finished,
in all its branches, about January. 1912,

naval base controlled by the United

Under This Guise Russian
Government Gets War
Money From Duma
Russia Will Send an Army
to Turkish Frontier.
as a Scare

st. Petersburg, Feb. s.-Russo-
Turkish relations have entered upon
ia menacing phase. Alarmed at the
unchecked Turkish penetration Of
Persia and the mobilization in Ar
menia, the Russian government has
decided to execute formidable mill
tary demonstration on the Turke-
Russian frontier, despatching thence
a compact expedition of 10000 Sc
lect troops Tor Central Russia with
full war equipment, and it is acting
with uncommon rapidity with view
to oyeraweing the Turks by deci.
sive exhibition of force.
The war Office has drawn up the
plans of the expedition and SUBMIT
ed them hurriedly for legislative en-
actment to the Duma Friday. The
committee on natural defense assem-
bled in virtually closed session.
A representative of the war office
briefly outlined the Turkish prepar-
atoms on which Russia is fully in
formed and asked for an open credit
for the maintenance of the army of
10000.
He met the possible argument by
saying that Russia had expanded
blood and treasure in Manchuria in
vain, owing to the initial backward
ness in armament. The empire hangs
hangs in the balance, and Russia
must be prepared to defend it.
Cuchkoff, the leader of the Octo-
brist party, in a speech said that
the majority of the Duma were Rus
sian patriots and willing to part with
their 'last shirt to defend their
fatherland. The committee, in a
high pitch of patriotism, passed the
appropriation unanimously.
At the same session the war office
obtained sanction for further item
of $10,OO0,0OO to create floating bat
teries along the Baltic coast which,
owing to the weakness of the navy
is at the mercy Of the enemy.

NOT SAFE TO BET ON

The Boston Transcript has been
making the point that the influence
of New York state rarely counts for
much in republican matt onal conven-
lions New York, to be sure, was
for Seward in 1860. for Conkling in
1876, and strongly fnr Grant in 1850.
In 1884 it's vote was split and Arthur,
Edmuds, Hawley, and Robert Lincoln
were favored as well as Blaine. De.
pew was. New York's favorite candi-
date III 1889, while The dcleg IN S
votes in 1892 were waste1 on Blaine
and Mckinley. In 1895 New York
was strongly for Lew P. Morton.
But tho transcripts point is not Ct
great value to one who would guess
about this years candidate at Chicago
It's best argument is that only IN the
republican conventions of 1864 1868,
1872, 1900 and 1904 were there 70 con
tests over the selection of the canli-
date. Even in 1892 when Har-ison's
nomination seemed assured before
hand, both Pennsylvania and Ohio
were strongly in favor of Mckinley
In 1876 Pennsylvania put forward
Hartranft and stood by him. Ohio
was for Sherman in 1888. New Eng
land was eager for Blaines aomina-
tion years before he got it, New
York's position, in years of real con-
tests in the conventions IS not more
puzzing to prophets than that Of 9th
er states.
It looks now as If the proceedings
of the republican national convention
of 1908 would not be OF the cut-and-
dried order, but full Of life and action.
The present expense entailed by the
city in many ways impresses not a
few of the citizens that it is time some
steps are being taken looking to the
erection of city hall building. 1t
has frequently been pointed out that
the present expense would not only
pay a part of the principal, but would
care for the interest on bond issue
for the building and that such an issue
could be handled without any notice
able burden on the taxpayers. The
condition of the fire department while
as good as could be maintained under
present arrangements is both INSULT
cient as to quarters and much more
expensive than would be the case If
the city possessed a proper building
for the use of he department. and 9TH
