The Shakespeare plays never grow

And sentiment and human destiny are

The presentation of "Antony and
Cleopatra" by Charles B. Hanford at
the Ortgon theater last night renews
inc roruana uregonian reviews
the ' remarkable performance of the
Atlantic fleet In coming to the Pacific
coast, in the following able manner:

16 vessels arrived in Magdalena'bay

stormiest ocean voyage In the world
The fleet arrived In perfect condi

of the most severe tests ever made by
the ships of any nation.
This performance will not surprise
the people who have remembered the
16,000-mile, run of the Oregon, twice
subjected to the burning heat of the
tropics and the piercing cold of the
far south as she raced through two
oceans In record time, and arrived
"ready for action."
The achievement may be surprising.
however, to those who have placed
too much confidence In the criticism
made of the fleet by the muckraker
who have been exploiting its alleged
weaknesses and frightening the timid
people Into believing that the navy
was no safer than a fleet of old tramp
simmers,
The trip of the Oregon, and the con
Ultion in which she arrived on the fir
ing line were without parallel in naval
history; but there were other Amer
lean warships in the same engagement
i;' which she participated, so that the
final chapters of the Spanish war offer
some Interesting testimony as to the
ability of our ships to "deliver the
goods."
If there Is anything radically wrong
with our fleet it was not discovered
when It was sweeping the Spanish
from the ses, and it is a certainty
that It ha3 not deteriorated since
that time. If the present Investigation

This clean record Is primarily the
work of the Oregon sheep commis

Ithout the active and hearty co

So Oregon's sheep may be sent to

few clean sheep states, thanks to the
progress and business foresight of her
