ent Congress is likely to provide
for two more tha.J will he still larger
by far. A few days ago the Delaware
was launched at Newport News, the
mos formidable warship that has vet
been started. Her displacement is 22,-
900 tons. The largest battle ship now
in commission is the Bri ism Dread
nought of 1900 tons. Germany's lar
gest battle snip is 1920 tone but that
government is building nine, of which
five wi be of $4,000 tons. Frances
heaviest snip is 1866 tons, with eight
building, the largest of 1890 tons.
Japan's largest completed ship is L.,
800 tons The United States has in
hand six ba,tle ships, four of which
will be the heaviest Rf oat tyo, the
Florida and Utah of q ,S25 tons each.
Congress is deliberading on two Of
$4,000 IONS each, the Naval Committee
having reported upon them favorably-
The Delaware just launched, is to be
POO tons larger than the Dread
nought and 700 tons greater than
Great Britian's latest vessel, the Van
guard.
Thus goes forward the most re-
markable of all of International ri
valry and preparation, cons ituting a
duel in finace as we'll as construc-
tive ability. Capt Mhhan, an Ameri-
can recognized abroad as high naval
authority, supports the leviathan idea
The line of reasoning" he says which
applies to The $4,000 or 10000 ton ship
will hold good when you have reach
ed 10000 and your neighbor goes one
better by layign down one of $4,000.
The skid of the naval architect and
engineer is equal to producing, it,
and the open sea at least will be able
to float it." In TRUTH the question
is chiefly one of money Provide the.
millions and the designers and ship
yards will do the rest One of the
largest ocean liners has just cut the
eastward run across the Atlantic to
little over4 days, 20 hours. But two
passenger ships are going forward
that are to be 200 feet longer. and
can be made faster II the achievement
is thought 10 be worth the extra cost
in machinery coal and working force.
The Delaware's broadside will be the
hevaiest on the seas, consisting of
ten 12-inch guns and four cen 5-inch
rapid-fine guns, with the secondary
battery in addition. No such blow ca
be delivered by the Dreadnought or
any other existing snip.
Last year Mr. Asquith the British
premier, announced tnat t1G policy
would continue TO be the main. enance
of the navy at the rength of any
other two nations combined, plus 10
per cent. That is certainly an impos-
ing proposition in view OF the naval
activity and invemdveness of the
United States and Germany. Six new
ships of the Dreadnought pattern, but
larger will be proposed in Parliament
this year. They will swell the British
budget, which now includes the pay
ment of old-age pensions. England
also mus. look about for more reve-
nue.. This year a naval appropriation
Of 1886, 100000 is asked in the United
States. Our treasury calls for fresh
taxation in some form. Skimping the
navy would be doubtful economy. Our
position on the Two greatest oceans
forbids halt in building battle ships
of she most modern type. We, have
under way the largest extant, which
is gratifying fact-Globe Democrat.

MAN COULDN'T TELL
WHO HAD SHOT HIM

Patroiman Hartung was detailed
by Sergeant McDermott to AGA New
Brunswick avenue at 8:45 o'clock
last night, where a fight was said to
be in progress. Before the officer
reached the place he met an Italian
who described himself as John Serlb,
of Raritan, and who said he had been
shot In the arm during row in the
yard back of the place.
The Italian told the officer that he
knew who had shot him and where
he could be found. Hartung went
with him to Ogden place, where a
number of Italians were congregated
in house. The policeman waited
for Serb to point out his assailant,
but instead of doing so the injured
man, after conversing with them sew
eral minutes, turned to Hartung and
said, i shot myself"
AS Serb was under the influence
of liquor the policeman placed him
under arrest and also arrested Louis
Leone, twenty-seven years old, of
New Brunswick and Amboy avenues,
as witness. In the meantime Pa
trolman MCGOWAN had been detailed
to assist Hartung The latter turned
the two prisoners over to MCGOWAN

ing services Dr. Patton preached elo-
quent sermons and was greeted by
large congregations.
At the morning service Rev. E. G.
Hancock offered prayer and the pas
tor Rev. J H. Northrup, called on the
various organizations of the church,
whose secretaries responded. Judge
Adrian Lyon answered for the Elders;
Edward L. Gridley for the trustees;
Harry Comings for the ushers; Miss

zen for the Westminster Cadets
The subject Of DR.. Patton s sermon
In the morning was, tCount not thy
self to have apprehended but pressed
forward to the mark, the high calling
of God and Christ Jesus
The address was listened to with
close attention. 1t is not often that
a speaker of DIR. Patton s eloquence
and force is heard here.
The various organizations occupied
the front part Of the church and the
general congregation filed the remain
der. The floral decorations and music
were features
The new church directories were
given out, containing the names Of all

and tried to solve the mysterious
shooting, but was unsuccessful.
Patrolman MCGOWAN took the two
prisoners to the police station,
where they were searched and ques-
toned. Serb was taken to DR.. M.
s. Meinzer's Office, where 1t was
found that bullet had passed
through his right arm. After his in
Juries were dressed he was locked up
again.
When arraig1ed this morning
Serb said he could not remember
whether he had shot himself or
whether someone had shot him, as
he was intoxicated. The court room
was crowded with Italians. Leone
could throw no light on the case and
was paroled in the custody of Joseph
Jeffries, to appear when wanted.
Serb was remanded until Detectives
HUFF and Long could make thor
ough investigation of the matter.
Chief Burke believes, on account
of the tangled stories told by the in
jured man, that he was shot by
someone but is afraid to tell his
name. Little faith has been given
to the story that he shot himself

fore Recorder Plckersgill the white
men described themselves as Harry
Smith, twenty-one years old; Carl
Myers, twenty-one years old; and

There was considerable excitement
in Elm street shortly after / o'clock
this morning. preceding the arrest of
three white men. two negroes and
two negresses by Patrolmen Lybeck
and MCGOWAN on charges of disor-
derly conduct.
Sounds of free fight issued from

dows were broken and several large
stones were hurled through the front
door. Lybeck was notified of the
disturbance and arrived in time to
see three white men hurrying down
the street One of the negroes who
lived in the house told the officer
that they were the men who had
caused the trouble, so Lybeck ar
rested them.
He took the three prisoners to the
house, where the occupants, two
negroes and two negresses, identified
them as the men who had started
the fight MCGOWAN, who had been
detailed to the place by Sergeant
