WHERE THE FLEET CAN DOCK.
United states Has Only Two DrydOcks for
Battleshlps on the Pacific Coast.

II needs but a glance at the Government
drydock facilities on the Pacific Coast to
convince one Of their utter inadeauacy 10
the demands which will be made by our
I navy during the coming two or three years,
says Casters Magazine.
The United States Government possesses
upon the entire Pacific coast but two COM
Dleted drydocks. one at the Mare Island
Navy Yard, in San Francisco Bay, and one
at Bremerton, Wash, on Puget Sound.
The dock at Mare Island il 5l3 feet
long over all, 30 feet 7 inches wide at its
entrance and ~ feet Q inches deep over
the sill. II is available only for the ac-
c~ommodation Of the smaller ships.
The drydock at Bremertcn is more COM
modious, being $50 feet long over all, %
feet 8 inches wide at the entrance and 30
feet deep over sill. This will permit the
entrance Of the larger bsttleships, but II Is
distant from the main naval basis.
At Mare Island the Government has un-
der construction a third Pacific coast dry
dock. but il is estimated that II will take
three years OF hard work TO finish Il.
This dock was begun in 1900 and the
contract called for its completion Novem-
Der 20, 1907; but Unforeseen emergencies
DELAYED matters and the dock will hardly
be available for use during the coming visit
Of the feet.
Outside Of the Government docks on
the Pacific there is just one private plant
on that coast which has facilities for
handling the big bsttleship. This lie cit.
uated at Hunters Point. on the west side
OF San Francisco Bay. about FIVE miles
south Of the city. and 10 owned by the
San Francisco Drydock Company. II ha,
only n drydook capable Of admitting
the large battleshipS, being $50 feet long.
l22 feet wide and 30 feet s inches deep.
There are thus only two docks on tbs
antirA Pacific onast Of the United States
capable Of handling the larger Of the Nays
battleships. and one Of these is a private
one and will need to be leased by the year
by the Government In order that IL may
be at the nAvy's disposal at any and all
times.
Some time before the announcement
OF the proposed mobilization Of the feet
on the Pacific was made the San Francisco
Drydook Company had perfected plans
for the constru elton Of q drydook which
when completed will be unique in this
class Of marine engineering In that II will
be the largest drydook In the world.
At the present time the largest drydock
in the world is at Belfast, ireland; but the
proposed San Francisco dryNock will
materially exceed II In dimensions. In
exact figures the new dock will be i,o5O
feet long, lH feet vide and ~ feet . inches
deep.

II was in April, 1882, that Sherman an
nounced his position as to the constitu-
tional right Of the Federal Government
10 govern the seeded States as provinces
and to rule their inhabitants as subjects.
Senator Sumner had introduced a series
Of resolutions 10 the effect that the re-
bellious States we're out Of the Union and
that consequently the constitutional guar
antees we're no longer binding with regard
TO them, and that therefore those States
should be organized and governed as for
eign provinces. Senator Sherman opposed
the resolutions on the ground that they
would revolutionize this government. Sir,
strike the States out Of this system Of gov
eminent and your government Is lost and
gone. / cannot conceive Of the United
States governing colonies and provinces
containing millions upon millions Of people,
white and black. ! do not think such a
thing can exist. | do not believe 1t is In
the power Of secession TO bring us to that
state OF things.' Sherman went on to
say that he could draw no distinction be-
tween the resolutions offered by the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts, and the doctrine
proclaimed by Jefferson Davis, II the peo-
pie Of a State can seoede, Davis's doctrine
is we'll founded. The doctrine Of the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts is substantially
an acknowledgment Of the right Of seces-
sion, Of the power TO secede. 'He, how
ever, puts the seeding States in the con-
dition Of abiect Territories, &c 30 gov
erned by Congress. Jefferson Davis puts
1t in the power Of the people Of the seeding
States TO govern the States themselves.
As TO which is the more dangerous or OBJ
noXious doctrine | leave every man TO
determine Shermsn's opinion as 10 the
right Of the nation to govern territory
as provinces or people as subjects never
changed. When the Spanish american
war resulted in the acquisition Of trans
marine possessions, he was as firmly op-
posed to the government Of those posses
sions az colonies or provinces as he had
been in 1852 TO the application Of that kind
Of government 10 the South.

VII.

On January IL, 1897, John Sherman was
a sixth time elected United States Senator
from Ohio. In the F~ifty-second Congress
Sherman opposed the Stewart free coin
age bill and the 'Geary' act, which pro-
hibited the immigration OF Chinese to this
country. In the opinion Of the Ohio Sena-
tor the latter measure violated the pro-
visions Of the treaty Of 1880 con cluded by
the United States with China. He did
not dispute the eIpedienoy Of shutting
the gate 10 the danger Of pollution through
the inhuT Of Asiatlcs, but he held that the
maintenance Of the nations faith was q
paramount obligation.
II was Senator Sherman who on August
is, 1893, opened the Presidential campaign
on behalf Of the Republican party. Az
this time he was rs years old. His speech
dealt mainly with facts and principles which
he had frequently brought forward in Con-
gressional discussions Of the silver aues-
ton, but he 80 presented them that they
could be easily understood by the com
munity AZ large. On the subsequent cleo
tion Of Mckinley he was appointed Secretary
Of State. During the winter Of lS0o-s7, how
ever, Sherman'S intimate friends and asso-
ciates had observed evidences Of falling

tAry Chase, he tShsrmanl IL entitled 10 the
credit Of the enaotments which created and
perfected the national banking system. He
carried through the Senate, against most
powerful opposition, the law taxing State
bank money out Of existence and thus gave
the field 10 a currency uniform, stable and
secure In fine, he brought financial or
der and stability TO the Federal Government
after the close Of the war. He created the
funding scheme, which was introduced by
him In 1897, which became a law in 1870,
and under which a large portion Of the war
debt wal paid or refunded at lower interest.
He was the foremost champion Of the reso-
luton Of 1859 10 strengthen the public
credit. By this act the vague general
promise Of the nation 20 redeem the green
backs at some future time In coin was made
specific and irrevooable, As the biopapher
reminds US, this was the first step toward
resumption and obligated the natiol TO
redeem at the first practicable moment.
During the panic Of 1873, when the demand
for more money a. a preventive Of impend-
ing bankruptcy was we'll nigh irresistible,
John Sherman never swerved from his
declaration that the nations feet would
never stand on solid financial ground, nor
the permanent prosperity Of the people DO
attained, until specie payments should be
resumed. He was the author Of the Re-
demption act and is most powerful defender
In Congress and before the people.

John Sherman's legislative career Is d.
| vided into two periods by his four years
| Of service in the Treasury Department.
The first period ended with his resignation
| Of his seat in the Senate at the beginning
Of the Hayes administration, but the i'm
portant financial legislation with which
he was conspicuously connected had ended
with the close Of the first session OF the
Forty-fourth Congress. The biographer
deems il therefore not improper TO stop
at the close Of that session and set down the
most important results Of the first period
Of his legislative labors. Up TO this time
no man who was then or had been in the
public service Of the country, with the
possible exceptions Of Henry Clay, had made
30 deep an impress upon the legislation OF
his time as had John Sherman. 1t must
be remembered that at this time the re-
sumption act was al experiment its sue
cess or failure was to be demonstrated
three years in the future-but notwith-
standing the fact that the meridian Of his
fame was TO be reached subsequently with
the success Of resumption John Sherman
was even then accorded the leading posi-
ton among the statesmen OF the day
The biographer goes on TO say what review
ing the facts we must acknowledge TO be
Indisputably t~rue-namely, that Sherman
had achieved and retained this position by
sheer force Of intellect and industry. The
ruling and irrevocable article OF his political
creed was the national honor. He taught
the American people that IL they were to
have any credit they must be honest and
II they desired TO command the respect Of
the world they must deal fairly with their
creditors. HE sat up and maintained the
highest standard for the nations conduct,
and there il remains, a TO his
honor. He successfully oombated popular
financial errors by the conservatism Of his
beliefs and by the supreme faith which he
manifested in the righteousness OF mis-
position
There il no doubt, either, that Sherman
is entitled 70 the chief credit for making
the United States notes a legal tender.
Even the friends Of Secretary Chase must
admit that he came 10 the support Of the
legal tender clause slowly and with great
reluctance, and only when the bill was likely
10 fail without il, but Senator Sherman saw
from the beginning that IL the ~groenbacks
were not made a legal tender they would
fail 20 relieve the desperate condition Of tie
Treasury, Unquestionably, too, ne rem
dered invaluable service in enacting the
laws under which the vast sums expended
in the civil war were raised. His b~iographer
is justified In saying that next after Score
