a vigorous plea for Immediate and
substantial Increase of the uavy, has
aroused the widest Interest in W ash­
ington. says a special dlapatch to the
New York Times.
I t has not been possible to obtain a
fu ll stenographic report of w hat Jus-,
tlce Ila rla u said, and he declines to be
quoted In furth er explanation of his
▼lew». I t ls’ |»o88lble, however, to give
In substance an outline of some of the
views of the justice.
H e believes It to be of paramount
Importance to make immediate and ex­
tensive preparation for w ar, not be­
cause he apprehends the occurrence of
w a r with any nation, but because he
believes that In the most efficient prep­
aration fa r It Ilea the best method of
•voiding I t
This thorough preparation, In his
opinion. Involves the creation of a
great two ocean navy, and i f he had
his way he would, as be said at the
Navy league dinner, vote $50,000,000 a
year for ten years for the construction
of battleships and the general equip­
m ent of the navy. In his view it Is
not only necessary to Increase mate­
ria lly the n u in le r of fighting ships, but
to see that from year to year others
are coustructed to take the places of
those which are outgrown in point of
fighting ability by the advance in na­
val construction.
H e tielievee that a nation which Is
weak In m artial spirit or which has
not a strong navy la In danger of be­
ing forced Into w ar when It Is not de­
sired and when the nation Is least able
to meet such an emergency. The Am er­
ican people axe not for conquest, be
says, and do not w ant war. There Is
no territory that they desire, and the
probable fact la th a t they have mors
now than they desire. They would
have rejected emphatically the Philip
pines as a g ift; but, having assumed
the responsibility fo r them as an act
of war. they are bound to live up to
that responsibility and discharge the
duty It Imposes on them by affording
tbe Islands the fullest protection.
In conjunction, therefore, w ith his
belief In tbe obligation to build ships
he bolds that It Is tbe duty of the
country to fo rtify thoroughly every
seaport under the American flag and
make it Impregnable. W a r cornea sud­
denly. he says, and from the most
peaceful outlook it may develop liefora
It Is possible to make preparations or
even build a battleship, much less a
navy.
As he views the general outlook for
the United States there Is no nation
w ith which we are In any prospect of
having war. But that does uot Impair
tbe obligation of the country to make
ready for the unforeseen emergency
President M cK inley strove to his ut­
most to prevent w ar w ith Spain, but
In spite of him It came and In less
Urns from the moment when It was
first suggested than It takes to con
•tra c t even one of tbe smallest naval
vessels.
Although Justice H arlan believes
th a t the time Is coming when then*
w ill be a gigantic contest for suprem­
acy between the white nnd yellow
races, he doss not apprehend that the
straggle Is a t all Im m inent When It
does come, be wants the United States

a sunny hillside and was carefully

length as If to discover Its Irregulari­

yond the stick to the valley and river
below, where stood tbe great mill, with
Its tall, blackened chimneys and mass­

“Oh, ’taln ’t the name of any kind of

years and more ago.» Things had been
goln’ pretty bad at the mill then—aud
stops and hitches of one kind or ’noth-

all the while.
“ Mismanagement most of It was, or,
leastways, we thought so. Old Kes­

I have therefore combined the

Beneath a V

are fastened. They are cigar shaped
and are connected so that, when one

Into IL thus keeping the balloon of the

to counteract gravity, so that the ship

In case the balloons should lorn all
