AS for docks and terminal facilities,
the navy yard at New Orleans is we'll
adapted for the purpose. and the New
York yard could be used until the traf-
fc warranted renting another terminal.
The cost OF wharves in New Orleans
would depend upon the freight handled
and sold and would therefore be included
in the freight rates. In South American
ports practically all cargoes are handled
by means Of lighters the cost Of which
would be included in the freight
rates.
Although It might appear that the
cost of maintenance of the four crus-
ers of the fast mail lines from Panama
to Valparaiso is excessive. this is not
so apparent when considered in con-
nection with the freighters. one is
necessary to the other for developing
the South American trade, and the
average cost should be taken. The
freighters would begin to pay for them
selves at once by taking coal and oil,

1000 tons of freight; the Rainbow
twenty-five passengers and $500 or
5000 tons Of freight: the Ancon and the
Crlstobal each seventy-four first class
and thirty-two Storage passengers and
between 10000 and 1900 tons of
freight.
THE naval golfers are not suitable
for carrying passengers but are well
adapted to a freight service. the first
three carrying from $500 to 10000 tons
each; the two of the Cyclops class from
10 900 to 1850 tons of freight and 1900
tons of fuel oil in bulk each, and the
Nanshan about 5000 tons.
THE distance from New York to VAL
paradise via Panama and Callao is 1866
miles. and each of the fast cruisers 60
ing fifteen knots could cover that dis
lance, allowing twenty-four hours for
delays incident to passage through the
canal, in thirteen days twenty-three

seven days twenty-five hours.
1.-THE distance from New Orleans to

Grafton. The Senate referred the reso-
luton to the Committee on Naval At
fairs. which is now studying it,
When the Senator introduced his reso-
luton 1t was not generally known in
Congress that 1t had Administration in
splratlon and that the real author of
the proposition was the Secretary of
the Navy, who Is firmly of the opinion
that the cost, as well as the efficiency,
OF the navy is such that some efforts
should be made to put some Of its ships
into practical use In time of peace as
well as war.
Ever since Mr.. Daniels took office he
has been hoping that some time or other
during his administration the navy
would assume functions In time of peace
that are not now ascrlbed to it and render
1t of still greater value, in his opinion
to the country at large. The plan as
outlined by Senator Weeks seems 10
Mr.. Daniels to present the best means
to this end. In the course of n recent
interview on the subject he said:
"In my opinion it is quite practicable
by the use of naval vessels to carry
out the purpose indicated in Senator
Weeks's resolution, and the following
vessels will be available for the service
the st. Louis, Charleston, Milwaukee
Columbia, Minneapolis, Salem, Chester
Buffalo, Rainbow. Ancon, Cristobal

gers and freight to South American
ports through the Panama Canal
The Senator pointed out that we are

price Of an empire, and no international
commerce to carry through 1t. We are
building it, as matters stand, largely
Tor the benefit of Great Britain and
other foreign countries. The use of
naval vessels in the manner suggested
the Senator affirmed, would give us an

trade, which we need and there would
be no question about tolls in their case,
Tor they are Government vessels.
