A person In New York sent Mr. Saunders for collec tion a bond for I.VHI, due from Mr. Mon roe. Alter consulting with some of his friends he started to call on the ex prcrildent to present the claim.

II Objects to th Artlon That Ih Massachusetts Broke All Battle ship Spaed Record. New York Herald.

Thla reault la undoubtedly a credit to Mesara.

In i'purl of this atiitrment I beg to driiw your attention to a few rraulta, eelcrtcd at random, of ai-i male of Hrlilah tintlleahlpa during the Inst few yrura.

Though an Englishman. I would be the last to deny the unrivalled proficiency of the Vnlled States In "breaking all rec ords," but may not that or Ananias be allowed to aland ror the present? ARTHl'R H. I.EE. Captain R. A. Kingston. Ont.. April T7. IS. Captain l-ee asks ihe publication of the foregoing letter, "trusting." he says, "In the Herald's well-known reputation for fairness." The captain's amusing refer ence to Ananias would alone be enough to entitle him to a hearing, because, since he, of course, assumes that his statement are correct. It Is a very clever riposte coming from an Engllshmaa Unfortunately for the captain, however, he Is a landsman, with a landsman's limited acquaintance with the nice feat ures of things nautical. The speeds assigned to the Hrltlsh bat tleships In the captain's letter were taken from an Instrument known as a patent log-, device which, at high speed, always registers much more than the actual rate through the water. Thus on the trial of the 1'nlted 8tates str.imrr Columbia the patent log recorded for a part or her run a speed of about twenty-five knots. it would be Interesting to know where in the Hrltlsh admiralty's conditions for speed trials are "more rigorous and more adverse to the contractors than those of the 1'nlted 8tates naval board." The course over which the Massachu setts was run was carefully Inld out and accurately measured by trlangula lloa There were six vessels anchored along this course to observe the strength of the tide. If Captain Lee knows any more rigorous rule by which a ship's sliced can be determined he probably has a monopoly of the knowledge. If the Hrltlsh battleships have ever been run over a measured distance, be yond a very short one, to test their speed, the fact has been kept from the public. The patent log record Is use less. Two patent logs, towing astern of the same ship at the same time, will vary as much as a knot In the speed j they register, but each of them will show a fiir greater speed than the ship Is mak- In spite of that allusion to Ananias, tho Herald must still credit the Massa chusetts as holding the speed record for first-class battleships.
