port shows that many improvements

With a splendid and enormously eN-
pensive system of coast defence for
titications almost completed, there are
not enough soldiers lay 1885, to pro-
vide for even one manning detail ac-
cording to Gen r. NJ. Weaver, chief
of the Coast Artillery. in his annual
report General Weaver deciares%that
until the necessary trained troops are
provided for this purpose the vast eX-
penditures for coast defence already
made will be worse than wasted, for
the people will have been lulled into
a false sense of security. Therefore he
wants to increase the regular artillery
by G75 officers and 1854 men and the
Coast Artillery Militia by 902 officers
and 21.204 men.
Civil Engineer H. c: Holiday. chief
of the bureau of yards and docks of
the navy department. in his annual re-
port says that even after the compile
ton of the new drydocks at New York,
Puget Sound and Pearl Harbor. Ha-
wall, the United States will be far be-
hind other great naval powers in dock
ing facilities. He explains that The
single British dock yard at Portsmouth
has more drydoeks than all the navy
yards of the United States and that
Germany and France also have better
facilities. This, i'll face OF the fact that
the coast line of the United States on
the Atlantic alone is greater than the
total coast line of all the other three
countries mentioned. THE disparity
in docking facilities" he says, be
comes all the more apparent when it
is considered that in the foreign coun-
tries there are many good commercial
docks, whereas the United States is
very deficient in this regard"
