CONGRESS AND THE NAVY
THE DISAGREEMENTS OVER YVK
CHASE OF AKMOn-PLATB.
Hew Cannon Was Tamed Detra la
the Matter of Appropriation.
for Xaval Surveys.
WASHINGTON, June 13. The fight In
the closing days of every session of Con
gress always centers on the naval appro
priation bill, Rhich Is usuallj- the stumbling-block
In the -way ot concluding the
business of the session. For a long time
there has been the flght upon the subject
of armor-plate. The House and Senat
seldom agree on thfe proposition. By
.limiting the cost of armor-p.ate to $300 a
ton, the action taken by the Senate several
years ago, not a ton of armor-plate nas
been furnished for the battle-ships now
ready, which have been held up awaiting
iurther action by Congress. This might
at first be considered a very bad thing, but
as conditions have developed, it has turned
out to bo fortunate, as the armor-pin to
which would have been secured under the
$300 price and since would have been lha
old Harveylzed armor, and not the Krupp
armor, which has been found to be nrnr.'i
fcetter. By the navaL ill which has Just
passed, the Secretary of the Navy Is au
thorized to secure the very best armor at
"What he deems a reasonable price. If he
la not able to buy the armor at what he
.considers a reasonable price, he is gu
thorized to go ahead and build an armjr
Iplate factory. Now It is understood thor
'oughly that there is no armor-plate fac
tory to be built, simply because the Gov
ernment does not want it. The Hojs
voted against It time after time, and the
jfieaoie, by finally yielding, consented to
ilfct the House have its own way.
Some of the Reasons.
Tier are some very good reasons why
the Government should not enrage in
harmor-pkue manufacture, and they were
brought out in the various debates that
were had upon the subject. It is well
buaderstood that the Government is not in
a position to engage In manufacturing
btatoesa of any sort, and those who era
Opposed to Government ownership gener
ally, not only of railroads and transport-
jtloa companies, but also of factories and
plants, contend that it is better to buy
o private interests and corporations
where possible. While the assertions
Were made and almost unchallenged, that
lannor plate factories were holding up tho
government, through a combination, yet
At is believed that the Secretary of tho
tN&vy will be able to make terms with
them better than could possibly be made
by the building of a Government plant. It
'Jhss already been pointed out that a b!g
manufacturing establishment like an ar
nor plate factory in tho hands of the
Government would not advance to tho best
Inventions of armor plate, and Its manu
Jfacture would go to tho private corpora
tions. More than that, the big companies
'"will be able to pay higher salaries than
tare paid by the Government to naval offi
cers who would superintend the work of
'an armor plate concern. It has been shown
that there has been little or no develop
nejnt in the gun factories that are under
ltho direction of the Government elnce
they were organized, and though good
guns have been turned out, they are no
better than they were seven years ago.
Another trouble is that a Government ar
mor plate factory would not be able to
turn out armor plate within four years as
It takes a long -while to build such a
concern. As It stands now, it is not like
ly that an armor plate factory will ever
!be built, as the existing naval appropri
ation bill authorizes the Secretary to pur
chase armor at what he considers reason
able rates, with the further provision that
lie may build an armor plate factory.
ATiout the Surveys.
The real row, however, occurred over the
surveys. After the armor plate was set
tled It was supposed the naval appropri
ation bill would go right through, but the
adjournment of Congress was prevented
simply on Che matter of hydrcgraphlc
surveya The telegraphic reports sent out
on this subject scarcely explained what
the row was all about. It was a contest
between the Coast and Geodetic Survey
on the one hand and the Navy Department
on the other, as to which department
Bhould make Uo coast surveys. In tho
eeveral fights In the House of Representa
tives tho naval commltteo and the com
mittee on appropriations clashed. Chair
man Cannon, who was the especial chare,
plon of the Coast and Geodetic Survey,
largely Increased the sum for this survey
in the sundry civil bill, giving them In all
5100,000, an Increase of about $320,000 ovef
tho last law. Cannon, with the aid of the
committee on appropriations, succeeded in
'cutting down the amount in the naval bill
lor hydrographlc surveys from $100,000 of
last year to $10,000. This was resisted In
the Senate" and tho bill was amended re
aring the $100,000. It was over this prop
osition that the fight was made, and the
might before adjournment Chairman Can
non won on the compromise proposition,
which was $50,000. the Senate giving up
one-half. Cannon's victory was but short-lived,
for tho House the next day over
turned him, and not only accepted the Sen
ate compromise, but took the whole Senate
amendment, making In all $100,000. and
also retaining in the bill the hydrographlc
surveys, which was the main contention.
Cannon Insisting that It should go out and
the Senate Insisting that It should stay in.
Cannon's Defeat.
It is seldom that Cannon loses a fight
in the House of Representatives!. But his
prestige hns been shaken so that it would
j:ot be strange to see him and his- com
mittee overturned in the next session. As
chairman of the committee on appropria
tions, he haa been all-powerful In prevent
ing legislation on appropriation bills and
ouch legislation as Is sometimes only pos
olble on appropriation bills. In order to
Set consideration, he has had the other
members of the House at his beck and
ca'l, because they were afraid to oppose
Mm. Since It has been demonstrated that
the can be beaten, and on a rather im
portant question, it mny be that members
of the House will rise up against him in
xShe short session and mako up for the
uoases mat iney nave sustained hereto
fore. Of course. In order to do so they
svould have to secure their amendments
in the Senate, as the deadly point of order
tn the Houe would be u?ed "with great
effect. In some ways thte will be unfortu
nate, aE there is danger of the Houre tak
ing too much in Its hands, and increasing
the appropriations far above what a Just
and economical administration of affairs
would warrant.
Foul and Cnramini;-.
Of course, there was something of a
personal element that entered Into this
turning down of Cannon. "When the
House of Representatives rejected the
conferees report of the conference com
mittee, consisting of Foss of Illinois. Day
ton of "West Virginia and Cummlngs of
New York, it was not expected that it
would take the naval bill entirely out of
their hands and give it to Cannon, but
that was the practical effect, according to
the ruling pf Speaker Henderson, and he
not only did take it out of the bands of
the r.aval committee, but he appointed
members of the committee on approprla-TL--n
o carry on the conference. This
was a serious mistake. It would have
been much better for the same conferees
to have acted, and the Houre of Repre
sentatives felt that it had treated Cum
raings and Foss very unjustly. It did
not care very much about Dayton, as
nobody cam? very much about him. but
there to a great deal of sympathy for
Foss. and when the House got an oppor
tunity to reverse Its action it did so In a
very emphatic way. Cannon lost, and he
lost heavily. He would have been much
better off If he had accepted the compro
mise proposition.
Just here it might be well to say some
thing about tbe. merits of the case. A
great many Senators believe that it "would
be a good thing' to place everything- that
we have afloat under the Navy Depart
ment, which would .include the coast sur
veys, the revenue marine service and the
Army transport service, and to place all
of the land surveys under the Interior
Department. This would take the Geo
detic Survey from the Treasury Depart
ment and give it to the Interior Depart
ment along with the geological and land
surveys. There Is a great deal of sens
In this proposition, and the time may
come when it is done. But with the great
advantage the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey gets out of the championship of Can
non, and with Its $400,000 to survey not only
the coasts of the United States, but the
coasts of the islands acquired from Spain,
it will be able to pretty well establish
itseK. and It will bo very hard to dis
lodge. As the matter Is looked at more closely,
there la no reaeon why the survey of the
coast cannot be entrusted to the Navy.
and the advantage that would accrue Is
considerable. By this method tho young
naval officers would get such an accurate
knowledge of the coasts of the United
States and tho islands which we now con
trol, that It would bo a great supplemental
education for them. There Is a suspicion
that there Is a great deal of patronage in
fluence connected with the Coast and Geo
detic Survey, and that this Is one of the
reasons why It is, fought for so hard by
certain people who hare been able to se
cure many fat appointments under this
branch of the service that they could not
possibly obtain in tho Navy Department.
A DIFFERENCE.
v . ; . sfjf
"Hello. Bill! Catchln fish, eh?"
"Nopo; flshln'."
There Is not the least doubt that a great
many men who are utterly incompetent
to take the course of a Naval cadet, or
pass the examination which Naval officers
are required to have, are employed
in the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Ao a
matter of fact, a great many Naval offi
cers are assigned to the Coast and Geo
detic Survey, and they have to have them,
in order to make the proper kind of sea
charts.
Fear of the Navy' Poiver.
One of the arguments advanced why tho
Coast and Geodetic Survey should con
tinue in this particular work Is that the
Navy is becoming more and more power
ful each year, and that It has got control
of the Legislative branch of Contrress.
tthlb it is not likely that this fear la well
grounded at present, it Is certainly true
that the Navy Department always does
control the naval affairs committees of
both Houee and Senate. It would ecem
that as soon as a man Is appointed a
member of the naval committee, he be
comes an ardent champion of everything
that the Navy wants. Of course the
naval officers at once begin making them
selves agreeable to the members of this
committee, and a member of the naval
commltte Is to a certato extent a rep
resentative of the department. The same
Is also true to a certain extent of Che
members of the military committees of
both houses. Members of these commit,
tees naturally become advocates of the
War Department and of Army officers who
want legislation. This Is because they
come In contact with the Army officers
and are influenced by their general sur
roundings. The growth of the Navy, Its
good record In the Spanish War, and the
fact that it gives the United States such
a standing as one of the powers of the
earth. Is also one of the reasoro why It
has so much influence In Congress, ana
why some members fear that it -will keep
gaining in strength as time goes on. An a
general rule, however. It can be safely
said that for tho most part the Navy of
ficers are able and conscientious men, and
what they advocate before Congress Is
.usually for the best interests of the Navy.

COLORS OF WARSHIPS.
Important Part Paint Hns Flayed In
Sfaval History.
From about 1650 till well Into the ISth
century the upper works of war vessels
were of a vivid, bright blue, with canary
yellow sides, and a broad band of black
on the water line, while every Inboard
surface was of a blood-red color. About
lt0 and onward bright green began to
supersede the blood-red inboard painting.
All the great merchant, craft also accept
ed the innovation, but the canary yellow
and bright blue outer colorings remained
on warships till Rodney began to use buff
and green as a substitute.
When Nelson became a Post Captain,
one of his first administrative acts was
to pamt his ship in tho checkered style
that became known by its singularity at
the time.
Of course, the normal black, white" and
buff dress of the English and other war
ships of today must by no means be taken
to represent their war aspect. Indeed,
the most fitting shade of color that will
best Insure invisibility is a question that
has been as much discussed as has that
which deals -with soldiers' clothing. One
is accustomed to see torpedo-boats of a
shade of black or dirty gray. Few know,
however, that -when these boats of the
English Navy go Into action, even in the
course of peace maneuvers, both officers
and men are "blacked" as to their hands
and faces, exactly in the same way as
negro minstrels.
A well-known London theatrical provid
er sells large quantities of the special
pigment required to officers of tho Eng
lish Navy, who would all require such
precautions in "cutting out" and ether
expeditions, as well as in torpedo-boat
service.
Still Insistent.

The additions to Mr. Bryan's bank ac
count have not detracted In tho least
from his desire to do a little more can-
djdatlng on a. hard-luck platform.

JAPAN IN TRAINING.
How She Has Been Preparing for tim
Pray With Russia.
B. van Bergen, in Ainalee's.
Japan has Increased her flghtlnff ca
pacity both In land and naval forces, -with
a secrecj- baffling the astuteness of even
Russia's diplomats. Xotlce this fact,
which appears to have escaped the ob
servation of "our special correspondent."
The records of the Diet, since its open-
J?. 1890, prove that the existence of
a Cabinet in Japan -was exceedingly brief
unless. Indeed, a crisis threatened the na
tion. Under such circumstances there
Is no more unanimous body of men than
Japan's legislature, although. In order to
stifle suspicion, discussions are in order
addressed "to the gallery." If a Cabinet
is forced to resign, the Premiership has
invariably passed Into the hands of a dif
ferent cian. Observe now, that, -when
Ito stepped out, his place was taken by
Field Marshal Yamagata, who, with Ito.
belongs to the Choshlu Clan. There was
no need for tbe services of that old wi!y
diplomat. Marquis Ito, to check Russia.
Tho man for the hour was Yamagata, the
experienced organizer of armies, whose
efficiency had been tested. Xor did the
Diot indulge In its usual tirades against
Count Matsukata, personally an unpopu
lar man with the hierarchy, but the fore
most financier, and whose services as
such were Imperatively demanded. Japan
needed well-dnlled. well-equipped armies,
without the world belnsr any the wiser,
and Yamagata undertook to furnish them;
Matsukata was to provide the necessary
raonay, and. no doubt, lias completed his
work. As soon as Yamagata. resigns, and
Is succeeded by Marquis Ito, It will be a
token that hostilities -are Imminent. TJn-
..&&&
-vwssar
der no other circumstances will Ito be
called upon to take the helm.
, Japan has recently placed several loan3
in England. Her Minister to London. Mr.
Kato Takeakl. Is on a visit home, and
recently delivered an address upon Eng
land of so complimentary a tenor as to
suggest that f unher favors In a pecuniary
direction will be highly acceptable. The
terms of he address -caused unqualified
surprise, because, without any tangible
reason, a strong anti-English sentiment
prevails.
Another fact, which has been passed
over without attracting comment. Is the
recent promotion of Mr. Kotnura from the
Japanese Legation at Washington to that
at St. Petersburg. The only Russian
diplomat who inspires feelings akin to
fear In Tokyo Is Count Casslnl, who, when
representing tho Czar at Pekin, with the
greatest suavity deprived Japan of the
fruits of all her victories, and appro-
-priated them to 'his own country. It will

not cause any surprise if this most astute
of diplomats were called at any time to
the Foreign Office at St. Petersburg-,
where his intimate knowledge of Japan.
Corea and China will soon be of th
greatest service.
It is scarcely necessary to mention that
the Tsilcahima. the largest and. deadliest
of sea monsters. Is hurrying to join Ja
pan's by no means despicable fleet. The
Fuji and the Yashlma, two huge battle
ships, have been ready for some time.
Almost every dockyard In England," Ger
many and France has been pressed Into
service to help Increase Japan's navy.
The United States contributed two eras
ers, the Kasagi and the Chitose. Nor
were the dockyards of Japan idle. All
these ships are manned by crews to whom,
no command will be more cheering than
that of "Clear for action!" Every man of
them has been taught, and knows that
Japan's discomfiture In the retrocession,
of Port Arthur and the Liao Tong penin
sula was the work of this foe. and such
knowledge will nerve the muscle and steel
tho heart-
LIFE CONDITIONS ON MARS
Jtlartlans, If Sncli Exlnt, Probably a.
Race of Giants.
Mars possesses eo many features in com
mon with tho earth that It is Impossible
to resist the thought that it also has In
habitants. Thie Is, however, says the Na
tional Review, by no means eauivalent to
eaylng that Martian folk are constituted
In the same way as human beings; In
deed, every consideration points to the
contrary. "Whatever atmosphere exists
on Mars must be much tlricner than curd,
tnd far too rare to sustain the life of a.
people with our limited lung capacity. A.
race with Immense chests could live under
such conditions, or a folk with gills llko
fishes could pass a comfortable existence
in gpite of the rarifled air.
The character of life anywhere is, in
fact, molded by the external circum
stances, and as these ore known to be
different on Mars from what they are on
the earth. Martian Inhabitants must have
developed peculiar characteristics, in order
to adapt themselves to their environments
the forms of life capable of flourishing
in attenuated -air has survived, while those
requiring denser air have dropped out of
existence.
The tenuity of the atmosphere of Mars
13 not the only fact which suggests that
the Inhabitants of that planet are not
fashioned after the image of man. It Is
Known beyond the possibility of doubt
that the force with wh;ch a substance Is
uttractefl to the surface of Mars Is but
little more than a third as strong as It
Is on earth; or, to express the point In
figures, 100 pounds on the earth would
only weigh 38 pounds on Mars, if tested
in a spring balance. In consequence of
thl3 weaker pull it would be possible for
a human being to perform astonishing
feats on Mars without excessive muscular
exertion. A man who could jump five
feet here could top 13 there: he could lift
three hundredweight by putting out the
same strength a3 Is required to raise one
hundredweight on the earth; he could
spring across a road as eaelly as he now
leaps over a mud puddle, and a, couplo
of bounds would carry him to the top
of a flight of stairs.
But, paradoxical as It may seem, tho
smaller a planet, and consequently the
lesi the pull of gravity at Ite surface, the
greater Is the probability that Its inhabi
tants are giants as compared with us.
Terestrial giants are generally weak In
the knees; they are crushed by their own
weight. But on Mars thev would only
weigh one-third as much, and would there
fore be able to move about In a sprightly
fashion, so that an elephant there might
be quite a nimble animal.
CABMAN ENCOUNTERS WASP
Its Stlncr Scares Him Almost Out ot
His Senses.
It was warm, says the New York Her
ald, and an early wasp, -which had ven
tured out to enjoy the sunshine, grew
tired of flying about and alighted on the
bump of destructlveness of a cabman who
was waiting for a fare. The cabman,
feeling the insect prowling about In his
back hair, raised his hand swiftly to
brush It away. The wasp, alarmed at
thla sudden attack, unsheathed Its sting
and burled It In the cabman's scalp. The
cabman, pained and astonished, let forth
a yeU and danced about frantically. ILs
fellows came running to his assistance.
There on the sidewalk lay tho astonished
wasp, stunned by the blow and the
weather. One of the cabmen was going
to pick It up, but thought better of it.
The cabmen and a newsboy gathered
around to look at It, and it was Anally
klHed as a thing too dangerous to be at
large.
In the meantime the cabman who had
been stung rushed to a drug store and
thero had ammonia, camphor, chewing to
bacco and whisky applied alternately to
the sting, following the advice of any who
would offer it. He told the crowd over
and over that he had been stung by a
honey bee, and asked anxiously if tho
sting was poisonous and dangerous. It
was the- first time he had ever seen a
wasp, he said, and he never had seen a
bee. for he was born on the East Side and
had never In his life been In the country.
He had been to Coney Island several
times and to other beaches, but he knew
no more about the country and country
life and Its animals and Insects than a
babe just born, and he Is now about 33
1 years old.
