"WEDNESDAY, - - JANUARY 29, 1896
IMPROVE THE NAVY.
In all the discussions upon the ab
eorbing questions of the day, there seem
to be but one conclusion, and that is
that this country should have and main
tain a first-class navy.
The actual possession- of a sufficient
number of first class fighting war ves
sels, would give us a surer guarantee of
peace and unmolestation from European
nations, than any other, ' action or all
other measures combined.
"A few days ago it was announced,"
Bays the San Francisco Chronicle, "that
Russia was preparing to making im
portant additions to her navy, and we
were told some months ago of contracts
with American manufacturers for large
quantities of armor plate for- that coun
try. There is little or no doubt that, in
spite of the temporary opposition which
Las developed the German emperor will
secure the appropriations which he aek6
for the increase of the German navy,
- and now comes the news that China has
determined to expend a very large sum
in putting her navy upon a genuine war
footing. France Is all the time adding
to her naval strength, especially in the
direction of torpedo boats, rapid fire
guns and matters of that kind, while
Great Britain is spending nearly $100,
000,000 a year in strengthening and im
proving her navy.'
"The general idea, and the one which
most British statesmen and politicians
seek to cultivate, possibly to placate the
taxpayer, is that the navy is needed for
defensive purposes chiefly, but the
Hight Hon. G. Shaw Lefevre, in an ar
ticle published in 1891, put a different
aspect on the enormous increase in the
naval strength of Great Britain. He
pointed out that while France main,
tains its nayy in the proportion of two
thirds that of England, it can, by alli
ance with some one or niorejother naval
powers, be in a position not far short
that of England, and he adds, very sig
nificantly, 'whatever confidence we
Englishmen may have in the sense of
justice and moderation of our govern
ment in any difficulties with France, we
may be prepared to admit that our lan
guage and attitude on many questions
would be different and less conciliatory
if the navy of France were reduced to a
point where it would give us no concern
whatever.'
"There is in "these remarks a veiled
threat which the United States cannot
afford to disregard. It is true that the
final outcome of a war between England
and the United States could hardly be
in doubt, but prevention is better than
cure, and when we see every great na
tion of ' the world improving its navy,
and understand that there is a deter
mination to check the bully of the seas
on his own ground, It is not well for us
to be wiser than everybody else. Had
wo today a first-class navy even that ob
stinate and truculent leader, Salisbury,
would change his tone materially on the
Venezuelan question and would receive
a new and sudden light on the Monroe
doctrine and the principle of interna
tional arbitration."
Killed at the Locks.
Coroner Butts returned this morning
from Cascade Locks, where he went to
bold an inquest over . the remains of
William Murray, who was killed yester
day afternoon by having a portion of
the embankment, under which he was
working, fall upon him. Murray was
working with two other men in a place
nVt considered dangerous. When the
bank began to give away the men started
to run and the other two succeeded in
getting away, but Murray was not fast
enough. A jury was summoned this
morning and the following witnesses
called : Dr. C. F. C ndiana, W. H. Mc
Kee, M. Keating, J. M. Mclsaac. After
hearing the testimony, the jury returned
its verdict as follows :.
We. the jurv, empanelled by the coro
ner to inquire into the cause of the death
of William Murray.find that said Murray
was about the age of 30 years, light
complexioned and light mustache,
weight about 140 pounds, height about
five feet eix inches. That he came to
nis death while working on embank
ment at the Cascade Locks, the said em
bankment sliding upon: him arid killing
him.
From all reports the accident seems to
be classed as "unavoidable." The un
fortunate man' is said to have an aunt
living in Albany. His other relatives
are unknown.

A gentleman up from Cascade Locks
yesterday, said he could see no reason
why the work could not be advanced to
such a stage by the first of March as to
permit of the passage ' of boats. The
secretary of the Commercial club has
written to Capt. Gray, of the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce saying that The
Dalles would send a committee to meet
the delegation from Astoria any time
agreeable to the latter, and inake such in
quiry regarding the completion as would
satisfy them, whether or: not boatB will
pass through at the time stated. If this
event happens on March 1st, a uonth is
not too long a time for the making of
preliminary arrangements.
