such steps.

The letter of the senator addressed
to the secretary is as follows:

Believing that the present congress

several new battleships, in order that
our country may have AN adequate
navy, guarantor of an honorable
peace, and insurer of victory if war
should come, l have taken the lib
erty of addressing You this letter to
ask that one of such battleships be

1t is my Information that the sin
gle-tUreted monitor named Florida is
now being used as a practice target,
and therefore condemned for offensive
or defensive service to the country
