ploded. From the Senate chamber
poured the excited and frightened sem
ators. Not until after the fire depart
ment had subdued the flames were the
facts realized.
From time to time after that there
were minor explosions, none of them
serious. in the recesses and almost for
gotten chambers In the lower parts Of
the Capitol, but the last and most SEN
sational came Sunday, November 6,
1898, after the close of the Spanish
American war and when international
feeling was still running high.
Between 4:3o and pm. that day an
accumulation of gas in the crypt of the
Supreme Court exploded with terrific
noise. The crypt was wrecked and the
documents stored there set on fire This
fire rapidly spread and threatened the
destruction of the entire building. The
entire fire. fighting resources of the city
were requisitioned to extinguish the
mated at $4,000
Among other freaks OF this explosion
was the tearing off Of heavy iron
door leading out of the crypt and
throwing it across the courtyard, over
low portion of the building. and on
several hundred feet to the west ter
race.
After that gas In the Capitol was
abolished. Also a thorough survey was
made of the building, in which closets,
chambers. old. walled-up stairways and
other architectural oddities were dis
covered. opened up, aired and made
sanitary.

than nine years old. which are adjudged
to be fit for decisive battle action. The
second line" contains the ships rang
ing from nine years to twenty years in
age. There should be eliminated en-
tirely from this list Indiana, built in
1895; Oregon and assachusetts, built
in 1896. and Iowa. built in 1897. Kear
sarge. Kentucky and ALA bama, built in
1900. while only fifteen years old, are
we'll outcla ssed. also. and probably
would be retired now had Congress au-
thoriZed a pro"ram that would have
provided ships to replace them. In
diana. Oregon. Massachusetts and Iowa
certainly should not be carried on the
list. 1t is proper. therefore. to say that
the second line" contains only fif-
teen battleships and it would be just
to cut it down by three more.
OF the ships in the FIRST line" there
are four. Kansas. Minnesota. New
Hampshire and Vermont. that do not
approximate the other ships of this
line in either tonnage or speed, and
that are entirely out of the first line
class in armament, carrying main bat
teries of only four 12-inch guns,
against the ten and twelve gun bat
:eries of the others
Therefore the only battleships a1oat
that may be held to be actually ships
OF our first line" are the battleships
Michigan and South Carolina, armed
rifles each. and the eight dreadnaught
ships: New York and Texas. carrying
ten 14-inch guns each; Arkansas and
Wyoming, with twelve 12-inch guns
each: Delaware. Florida, North Dakota
and Utah, carrying ten 12-inch guns
each. This makes ten battleships in
all in the first line.
The dreadnaught has appealed SO
much to popular imagination that most
of the arguments for larger navy
of these monsters. But dreadnaughts
alone do not make navy. To be capa-
ble for war. fleet absolutely must
contain several different types of ships
assembled in correct proportion.
To understand the necessity for this
it is sufficient to understand that war
on sea differs from war on land only
in details. not in principle. The pri-
mary objects of either a sea or land
force are: G) to discover the enemy:
the most advantageous position; (1
to fight him.
1t is impossible for battleships to
obtain the knowledge that they need
