He Challenges the World to Equal the Fiflj-First Congress. SET A FKECEDEST FOR ALL TIME. Channcej II. Depew Happy Because He Is Not a .Mugwump. LODGE moUD OF HIS" REPUBLICANISM .New York, March 6. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew presided to-night at a dinner given by the Federal Club. Mr. Depctv's remarks opened the talk, and after liim came Hon. Thomas B. Keed, Hon. Henry Lodge, Hon. Theodore Uooscvelt, General S. L. Woodford aud Judge Arnoux. JIajor "William McKinley sent a telegram saying it was quite uncertain about his coming, and lie was kept away by the illness of his wife. Letters of regret were also received from Secretary James G. Blaine, Vice President Morton, Postmaster General Wanamakcr and Secretaries Proctor, 2CnbIc and Tracy. "When cigar smoke began floating on the air, Mr. Depew said: "I am here to-night much to my surprise The Coroner's jury holds me responsible ior all accidents that happen on the railroad. Dismissing the act of corporate office, however, we will come down to the business of the evening. AVe are bere to-night as llcpublicans. There are no mugwumps to divide our faith in this world or the next. We are present to give greeting to the Republican leaders in the National Congress. AVe welcome Keed. AVe welcome Lodge. AVe regret McKinley is net here. Republicans Alwajs ccres5le. "A .Republican properly constituted has nothing to defend. The Republican parly has always wou its victories by being aggressive. The bill carrying out the principles of our party, which will put the American dig on seas, becomes in the language a subsidiary job." Mr. Depew here referred in a humorous way to the caricatures of President Harrison and Speaker Heed in the weekly papers. He then spoke of the recent election and the victories of the Republican parly in the passing of the subsidy bill and the defeat ing of the silver bill, and concluding, said: "AVe are happy in the fact that the party of Garfield and Blaine, of Lincoln and Grant it the partyof McKinley aud Heed." Mr. Depew then proposed the health of the President of the United States, the toast being drunk standing and in silence. Mr. Drpew then introduced Speaker Keed, who was received with great applause. He said: "X tru-t that I appreciate as much as any other man the advantage of having rood friends. Halt of the struggle in li e is to get a hearing. AVhen Christopher Colum bus discovered America it took him three months, but it took him half his li u to get a chance to discover it." I.'nciuics a- l'ree Advertisements. Advertisement is the tine prerequisite to "the sale of goods and your best advertisers are your enemies. Your friends sometimes go to sleep, your enemies never do. The general public do not pay much attention to the advertisement but proceed to examine the goods. This Congress has been an exten sively advertised one, but the public will soon proceed to examine what has been done. AVhencver this country awakens to the fact that the doctrine of human liberty must prevail from one end to the other then justice will be done to the man that en forced an honest count ana an honest law. "1 will challenge the world to point to the eqnal of the Fifty-first Congress lor the great good it lias done. AVe have done more than pass great measures. AVe have shown to the people of this country tnat it is possi ble to have responsible government. This country to-day, with its GO.000,000 ol people, cannot be governed as when it had 5.000.000. Our Government has got to be the growin of the necessities of our people, and cannot be I adopted Ironi any other land. et a Precedent for All time. Mr. Keed spoke of the increased work, comparing the work of the Fifty-first Con gress w:th the work done by Congre&s dur ing its first 50 jears of existence. "What I claim." he continued, "for the House of Representatives is not what it has done, but it has rendered possible for all time to be done." Tremendous applause followed the close of Mr. Keed's speech. Then Mr. Depew in troduced Mr. Lodge. "Xot long ago," said Mr. Lodge, in open ing, "a distinguished Democratic statesman went over to a neighboring city and defined his political position by saying, 'I am a Democrat.' It wasa stateruentatonce simple and beautiful. It had, too, the great advan tage of requiring no intellectual elibrt, cither on tne part or him who uttered it or of those who received it with applause. It presented a party creed at once so broad and so expansive that within its bounds npinionsof almost any kind can find shelter. Within that elastic doctrine it is possible to be tor a duty on or for free woolens in the AVest, for the free wool aud a duty on woolens in the East, for ballot reform in every Republican State aud for local gov ernment in every Democratic district, for honest money in ICew York and for free sil ver west of the Mississippi. The Principle of Kepabltcanlsm. "The ultimate result of such a creed is that tLose who profess it are united only in a determination that the offices shall belong to themselves, and beyond that believe in anything or nothing. The Republican jiaity must be a party of principle." The speaker was not content with the vague declaration, "I am a Republican" a vague party cry. The Republican platform, which stated the party to be the partyof honest money, was too vague to suit the speaker, but the killing ot the proposition tor free silver showed the party was in lavor of honest finance. It was alio the party for civil service reform, and these facts ex plained what he meant when he said, "I am a Republican." U. tbe last Congress, Mr. Lodge said: "We have given minority rule a deadly blo. AVe have cnppled'obstructiou. AVe have proven to the American people that the House can legislate, and we have made it impossible for any majority in the future Jo escape responsibility oy the miserable ex cuse that the majority would not let it legis late. On AVcduesdav the minoritv ratified their spile by ihc petty discourtesr of refus- J jng to make the ordmarv resolution ot thanks unanimous. Ol the 30 Speakers who preceded Mr. Keed, 13 met with the same refusal, among the number James K. Polk and Henry Clay. The minorities were for gotten, but not these great men. l"or National llallot Keforin. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, United States Civil Service Commissioner, in a brief ad dress, expressed the hope that some day they would see a national ballot reform law lor Congressional and Presideutal elections which would not interfere with State or local elections. "The Republican party have for two years been compelled to meet the women at the movement for an inflated and therefore dis honest currency, and it it a matter of com parative indifference whether the fight was for the unlimited coinage of a short weight or for paper moncv outright. "Only the other day the most prominent member of the Democratic party, ex-President Cleveland, came out in a letter against free coinage. He has received and deserved warm commendation for having written that letter, but be simply followed along the path which had been cleared by the Re publicans. He deserves credit for having written a letter against the bill for the coin age of free silver, but infinitely more credit belongs to those who actuallv killed that bill that is to Speaker Reed 'and the Rc publirau majority in the Fifty-first Con gress." General Stewart L. AVoodford and ex Judge Aruoux followed in speeches ex pressive of Republican doctrines, and the most successful banquet of the Federal Club was at an eud. A MAJORITY OF 24 SEATS.

SOME HISTOKY OF FAKKY STOCKS. Sir Charles Sure of Election in a Stronff Liberal District. EDITOR STEAD ISSUES A PAMPHLET COrTRtcnTED BY SEW YORK ASSOCIATED niEss. i London, March 6. When ".Fanny," of the Dilke divorce fame, vanished between the first and second trials of the Crawford case, Sir Charles was credited with knowing something of her whereabouts. Before her disappearance she signed asta'teraent lor tbe Queen's proctor, blankly denying every thing Mrs. Crawford swore to, yet when the time came to put her evidence to the test in court she became invisible to friend and foe. Mr. Crawford's detectives vainly tried to trace her. The public press daily adver tised lor her. The popular call, "Where's Fanny?" became so strong, prolonged and general that it might have echoed down the ages. The pretended revelations in the pamphlet puolished yesterday in regard to the old puzzle do not bear scrutiny. Fanny Defended by Her Husband. Mr. Stocks, "Fanny's" husband, is said to assert the integrity of his wife. Mr. Stocks is not heard personally in the pamphlet, but enly by hearsay evidence. In the trial it was disclosed that "Fanny" was a servant in a house of doubtful character. It has been since ascertained, according to the pamphlet, that she lodged in strict pri vacy with her landlady, who states that "Fanny" never went out nights or received company. Next, it is stated, she trot a place in the country, where she first had a groom as a sweetheart, and then an artist, to whom she says she was engaged. She is reticentabout the rupture of this engagement, "and so is Stocks, who succeeded the artist in Fanny's affections. Obviously, if Sir Charles Dilke aims to prove himself along-suffering victim of the conspiracy of a vindictive womau and the incompetence ot his advisers in ex parte settlements, the pamphlet will not sumce. This line ol rebuttal of sworn evidence is not new. Sir Chnrles Certain of Election. Three years ago, when he accepted the Presidency Qt the Forest of Dean Liberal Association, a fly sheet giving similar de tails was privately circulated and in fluenced tbe Liberals in their selection. Now that Sir Charles is seeking a re election to Parliament, his friends venture to make a semi-public statement The Badical majority in the Forest of Dean is so strong that Sir Charles is certain to be elected, even if the social purity people get the district against him and run n candidate of their own. .Editor Stead will issue to-morrow a pamphlet vehemently denouncing Sir Charles Dilke, recalling his promise not to return to public life till his character was cleared, analyzing the Dilke pamphlet as au addition to his offense by piling up false hood, and invoking a combination of the Liberals to "prevent the re-election of Sir Charles, lest disgrace fall upon tbe cause of Liberalism. The friends of Sir Charles urge that their position be"kept doubtful, because they can not reopen the case by a direct appeal to law. His Liberal opponents now challenge him to take the only course open lor legal vindication to prosecute the persons charged in the pamphlet with conspiracy and perjury. On Monday Sir Charles will speak in Forest of Dean, when his oppo nents will ask him to step down or prose cute. THE AUSTRALIAN TAED7T QUESTION. It .H ust Ho Settled Tieforo tho Xew Feder ation Is Completed. Sydney, 2. S. AAr., March C At to day's session of the Australian Federation Convention, Mr. Munroe advocated uniform duties between the federated colonies, but, he added, the interests of Victoria, the pro tectionist colony, must be guarded, and tbe conference will fail to do its duty if it al lowed the important manufactures which had been created in the colony ot Victoria to be ruthlessly dealt with. Mr. Mclhrraith said that if the resolu tions in-regard to the tariff were passed the Federal Government could readily be formed, even though all the colonies did not join the federation. The resolutions implied free trade within the federation aud pro tection against the world. Absolute free trade was impossible, owing to tbe necessity of raising a revenue. Mr. Deackiu, of Victoria, said that the work of lorming a common tariff was a question involving millions ot pounds of invested industries built up by protection, aud a guarantee must be obtained that the federation would preserve those interests. The constitution should require that such existing tarifl should only be reduced a cer tain percentage in a certain number of years. HRS. CATHCABI'S CASE. The Qnettion of Her Sanity Broached In the House of Cuminous, London, March C In the House of Commons to-night Mr. Fitzgerald questioned Home Secretary Matthews as to the names of signers of tbe certificates of lunacy in the case of Mrs. Catbcart, the wealthy lady of Stafford who was confined in an asylum at the instigation of her husband. Mr. Matthews replied that the lady had been confined under the lunacy act of 18S0, two doctor's signing. Mrs. Cathcart's lawyer, in a letter to the press, speaks indignantly of the seizure of her property; asserts that she is perfectly sane, and that she consulted him recently, fearing seizure by interdted relatives. The case excites ceneral public attention. Apart from the question of sanity, the further question of legality of the certificate arises. There is a case pending in the Court of Ap peal, in which it is contended tint the lunacy act of 1890 invalidates tbe Lunacy Commissioners appointed t&der the act of 1880. Mr. Matthews has privately asked the Crown Counsel to give an opinion, the question involving a host of cases. A DIFFICULT TASK. The Labor Commission Scheme Will Most Frobably FalL London, March 6. The Cabinet finds the constitution of the Labor Commission a difficult job. Mr. Goschen agrees to pre side if permitted a free hand to prepare the scope of the question for consideration. A section of the Ministry wants to have Lord Derby as President and to limit the inquiry within the narrowest practical bounds. The trades unions' demand that one-half of the members be drawn from the working classes has been generally censured. If the work men get three representatives they will be fortunate. Every great interest in the country is claiming representation. Shopkeepers, manufacturers, railways and co-operative societies all offer delegates. Prolonged confusion, ending in a fiasco, is the probable late of the commission. Labor associations threaten to ignore the commission unless the Government accedes 'to their demands, in cluding a discussion of all subjects form ulated in their programme. Tho British Census Began. London, March 6. The work of taking a census of the British Empire was begun on Thursday in India. It is expected to show 280,000,000 inhabitants in India, against 254,000,000 in 1881. The censns of the British Isles will be taken a month hence, and it is estimated tbe population will show an increase of 15 per cent. A COMPLIMENT FB0M HUMBEET.

The Old Czech Say They AVIH Now Ketnrn to Private Lite. 1'ltAGUE, March 6. A manifesto has been issued by the Old Czechs upon the recent elections. The Old Czechs declare that since the result of the elections show that it is the desire of the people to adopt a policy different from that followed by the men who have grown gray in the service of the nation, the leaders of the Old Czech party will retire irom public life.

He Is Heady to Again Support the Imperial Government. Beklin, March 6. It is stated that Prince Bismarck, if elected to the Beicbstag, will support the Government, and that the breach in the ranks of the .Radicals has reconciled Prince Bismarck to Chancellor Von Caprivi, since which reconciliation the Hamburger Xachrichten's attacks on the Government have ceased. BUBDETT-COUTTS' DENIAL. He Appeals for the Refutation of a Report Against Him. f BY DCXLAF'S CABLE COMPANY. 1 London, March 6. Mr. Burdett-Coutts has sent the following message to the Dun lap Cable Company, with a request that it be cabled to the papers they supply in America: Mar I ask von to state that the report published in some papers'in the United States that there is a probability of my being implicated In a di vorce suit Is absolutely untrue, and that there is not a shadow of foundation for any imputa tion of the kind. Tbe spirit of fairness that animates the American papers will, 1 feel as sured, secure for this refntation of tho cruel scandal the same publicity as was given to the original report cabled from London. FOUND DEAD IN BED. A Member of a Leading English Banking House Commits Snlcide. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY!. London, March 6.

He had com mitted suicide by shooting himself. The deceased was only 30 years of age, and there is no known reason for his act, as no trouble of a business or social nature is known to warrant the rash deed.

INGALLS' DEFIANT STAND Is Now Said to Have Caused the Defeat of the Force Bill. FPECIAt. TKLEGBASt TO THE DISPATCH. AVashington, March 6. It is no more than just to Senator Ingalls to say now that to him, perhaps more than to any one man, is due the defeat of the force bill. On more than one occasion the radical Kepublican leaders had pre pared to throw precedent, dignity and honor to the docs and pass the force bill bv a coup d'etat. Every suggestion of seizing by force a power which was not lawfully con ferred upon the majority of the Senate Mr. Ingalls responded to with so emphatic a negative as to put the scheme to rout. AVhen Ingalls had notified the force bill advocates that he would not while presiding be a party to any scheme to force the bill through, he was asked if he would not be so good as to absent himself from the chair some day, so as to let one of his fellow-Senators carry out the plan, to which he also em phatically replied "no."

She Is tbe Granddaughter of an Old Con federate Statesman. LOOKING AFTER DEE OWN IKTEHESTB tSrECIAL TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCH.) Brooklyn, March G. Theatrical people, men-about-town and a great many of the everyday folk of Brooklyn and New York were interested in the news that Bay Doug lass had come into a fortune of about 5250, 000. Miss Douglass is, or was, an actress. She is young aud pretty, and has a very in teresting .history, in the making of which during the last three or four years she has come pretty conspicuously before the public. "Ray Douglass" is a stage name. Her own name is Mamie Johnson, and she is known by that name now almost as well as by her theatrical pseudonym. But she is entitled to another by the marriage of Mont gomery. She comes of a Northern family of reputation and wealth. Her grand father was Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the Interior under President Buchanan and a member of the Cabinet of the Confederate States. Fortunes for His Granddaughters. He died in 1883, aud left a great part of his fortune iu trust with his wife for his two granddaughters, Kate, now Mrs. Ktrk man, and Mamie, the "Kay Douglass" of this eity.

Miss Douglass' share consists of a half interest in a hotel at Oxford, Miss.; about $50,000,worth of jewelry and plate and other personal property, and 550,000 in Vested for her benefit. Miss Douglass has always been liberally supplied with money by her grandmother, and it is not a fact, as has been stated, that she has been in want during the past winter. She lives in a cosy, prettily furnished flat up town, and has had everything she wished. Miss Thompson Jell in love with a wealthy young Southerner named Montsom cry about three yean, ago. An elopement and marriage followed after a biief court ship, and a separation followed an ex tremely short and stormv term of married life.

She was found by her husband at a New York Theater one night. He was in the auditorium and she was trinping about the stage in black tights among tbe chorus girls in the "Black Hussar."

She played with Mantell for some time, and about two years ago retired from the stage. Since then she has lived in New York, and one way or another, has kept herself pretty conspicuously before the public. Miss Douglass was not at home yesterday, and it was said she had not been there for two or three days. She knew of the death of her grandmother, and of the prospective fortune, and some of her friends say she is in the South looking after her interests there. BROKE UP THE SLIDES.

A scene in which a number of well-known people were involved took place to-night shortly before 11 o'clock on the slides of the Essex County Toboggan Club in AVest Orange.

Arauglin living in Beynolds Terrace, and one of the administrators of the Fayerweather estate, were engaged in a hand to hand conflict with several young men. The latter proved to be Harry S. Pjge, a sou of Henry Page, President of the Essex Countv Country Club; George O'Beilly, a son of Frank O'Beilly, a contractor, and Samuel Campbell, Jr. Reports say that the young men were hilarious, and that as Mr. raughn, his two daughters and his sou, a sturdily built youug fellow, were passing the spot. Page shouted something to Mr. Vaughn's daughters. Mr. Araughu forgot his gray hairs and physical in firmities, and turning upon Page, strnck him a blow iu the face. The companions of the latter rushed to his assistance, and Mr. A'aughu's son came to his father's rescue. For a little while the scene was lively, and blows rained thick and fast on every hand. Then the managers of the slide in terfered and brought the fight to au end. The slides were at once closed for the night. Page, it is said, insists that he did not use insulting language to the girls, and that Mr. Araughn's lack of hearing led him into the mistake. LAST DAYS OF NEWGATE. London's Famous Old l'rlson Is Going to Be Kazed to the Ground. The last days of Newgate Prison are at hand. The grim old prison, which has once been so fatuous and infamous iu tbe history of the city of London, is to be razed to the ground, and on its site a piece of ground worth almost its weight in gold are to be built great city warehouses. No visitor to London city can pass the grimy black walls of Newgate without thinking of one or the other of the hundred and oue romantic stories connected with tbe edifice. '"liarnabv Rudge" and the doomed har.gmnn; "Oliver Twist" and "Old Fagin;" "J.ick Saep pard" and "Blueskin," and "My Lord Tom liodJy" heroes of Dickens Ainsworth and Ingoldsby come naturally to the front in Mich thoughts.

The Prosecution in the Hennessey Murder Trial Likely to Logo an Important Wit ness He Cries for His AVlfo and Is Un controllable. New Okleans, March 6. AVhen Politz was brought into Court this morning his face was blanched and he looked a badly frightened man. He was taken into a pri vate office of the Sheriff, where he created a sensAtion and fell into a furious rage, waving his hands in the air and beating his breast. "Mamma, mamma, my wi'e, my wife," he screamed, and then threw himself violently on a louuge. He lay there for a long time, while the two deputies with him tried vainly to pacify him. Suddenly he jumped up again and once more he tore "his hair and pleaded for mercy. Then he began to act like a raying maniac and it required the combined efforts of the two deputies to prevent him from doing himself harm. He then made a rush for the window and attempted to throw himself out.but was held and finally overpowered by the officers r.nd securely handenfied. It is said that Politz's mind is giving away to the great strain he has been under, and that he is unable to control himteif. After recess the services of an inter preter were secured, and after a half hour Politz wss brouzbt into court- Judge Baker told hiin he could make a statement after tbe trial. The Italian here rose in his seat and pointing his finger at the Judge, spoke wildly in his own language. It was evident that nothing could be done with him, so Judge Baker ordered him removed from the court room. The Judge then said to the jury that he did not know whether the man's mind was affected or whether the disturbances he was creating were due to other causes. Under the cir cumstances, however, the Court deemed it impossible to go on further to-day and or dered an adjournment until to-morrow. PUT HUXLEY TO FLIGHT. Efforts ot a Salvation Army Man to Con vert the Scientist. The other day a young officer of the Sal vation Army conceived a wild and burning desire to convert Prof. Huxley. Having received the permission and blessing of headquarters, be hurried ofi to the great agnostic's country abode, where he was very kindly received by the ever courteous Pro fessor. The ardent "lieutenant" at once began the attack. He informed Prof. Hux ley that he was gettiug old he is midway between (30 and 70 in point of fact and told him that the time had now come when he should mend his ways and make peace with his God. "Return to your God!" exclaimed the evangelist, with all the force and fervor of the Salvation Army plat'orm. "Return to your God! or you will he eternally damned." Argument was, of course, useless, for what could the great dialectician do in the presence ot such fervor and such faith? He listened for a quarter ot au hour, aud then turned and fled. It is said that the young gentleman whom the Professor had so kindly received was shown out of tho room by the Professor's valet. BEECUED BY A DOG. A Sagaclons Animal Carries a I.I To Line to Shore From a AVreck. During the gale which blew the other day at Halifax, N. S., the schooner Senator Morgan, of Gloucester, Mass, dashed ashore at Cow Bay, a point east of this port. The sea was so high that it meant certain death to try and land on the rocky beach. Tbe crew then lighted a fire on deck. This was done in order to attract attention to their perilous position. Two hrothers named Mosher, on perceiving the flime, hastened to the scene and made every effort to afford assistance. The Captain of the Senator Morgan threw a tub overboard containing a life line, but it did not make for land. The brothers Mosher were fortunately accompanied by their dog, which thev encouraged to enter the foaming water. The animal, with mar velous sagacity, swam out to the tub, se cured the lifeline and brought it to shore. A hawser by this means was hauled to the beach and the Senator Morgan's crew, eight in all, succeeded by its help in scrambling to land with great difficulty and after many exciting failures. WANT TO KNOW THE AUTHOR. Kngllsh People A'ery 3Iuch Interested In a Iteceut Magazine Article. There is an interesting controversy going on in London it has not yet reached the newspaper stage as to who is the writer of the clever article on "Public Life and Private Morals," signed "M." in the current number of the Fortnightly Jiecieic. The article in question is an exceedingly sniart.if patently. specious, defence of the offense for which Mr. Parnell is now suffering tbe penalty, which the writer regards as an offense of considerabiv les magnitude than (say) cheating at cards. Everybody is ask ing ihe name of the man whom the initial "M." is supposed to conceal. I have it on good authority that Ihe article was written by the Duke of Marlborough .i view of the matter which is strongly cup ported by internal evidence. On the" other hand, it is nrged that the paper is much too clever to be written by n Duke, and that it is undoubtedly the work of Mr. AV. H. Malloek, the clever author of "The New Republic." NATIONALITY IN CRIME Different Methods or AVickedness by Teople or Different Climes. Each rare or blood seems to run into its own etiauuel, criminally as well as in other ways. In deadly assaults, for instance, writes AV. E. S. Fales in Drake's Magazine. The American cut-throat Drefers a revolver, or a bowic knife; the English, a bludgeon; tbe negro, a razor; the Italian, a stiletto or poniard; the German, a gun or a butcher's knife; tbe Malay, a creese; the Hungarian, a case knife. In counterfeiting, the American, English, French and Italian almost monopolize the business, the German, Irish, Scandinavian and other races being altogether strangers to the work. Even further than this does the race line go. Italian counterfeiters take to silver work; Americans to engraved paper; French and Italians to nickels. Sued by nis AVlte. J. A. Kales, alias E. C. AVylie, who was arrested early yesterday morning, fur the theft of a lot of jewelry belonging to Jennie McKce, was rearrested last night on charges of assault and battery and surety of the peace preferred before Magistrate McKenna by Jennie Kales, otherwise known as Jennie MrKee, alleged to be the wife of the prisoner. Kales was only in jail a short time when friends went on his bond .'or $500 and secured his release for a hearing next Tuesday.

HELD UP AS UNCLE SAM'S ONLY FOE Canstic Criticism of tbe 1'resent System of Kaval Defense. WILLING TO LET EUROPE EXPEEI11EST New Yobk, March 6. The article con tributed to TrttfA by ex-Senator Ingalls, which has created so much comment, is in substance as follows: Tho annual shriek abont our defenseless coasts, and the Dolnbardment ot .New York, Philadelphia and Boston, ba3 been emitted. The yearly pamphlet, describinc the blood curdling Incidents and tho appalling conse quences ot the war with Chile and Spain in 1905. has been sent to each Senator and Representa tive in Congress. The editorial estimates In tbe .metropolitan press of the amount of prop erty within reach of an Italian ironclad in the lower bay and of tbe ransom that conld be ex torted from the merchants and bankers, have all been submitted, and are filed away for use again in lS9i Their purpose is to reconcile the peoplo to tbe nassage of the naval appropria. Hon bill, and to enormous and profligate ex penditures in time of peace for ships, fortifica tions and munitions of war. The capacity of the United States to create a navy in an emergency was demonstrated in tho Rebellion. The dncl between the Monitor and the Mer rimac in Hampton Roads revolutionized naval warfare, and the problem has since been to constrnct armor that no projectile conld pene trate, and tbon to invent projectiles that no armor could resist. ltcsult of European Experiments. European nations have been connnctiogtbese expensive experiments hitherto, and the ships of 1880are already obsolete and antiijuated for attack or defense. Dynamlto and other ex plosives complicate the situation, and the navy that we are now building at a cost of 30,000,000 will be as worthless in 1900 as Roman galleys. England. France and Italy would gladly sell us .their fleets at 50 per cent of their cost. If we are to depend npon a navy for protection we must have ships enough to assemble at every vulnerable point a force as largo as could be dispatched azaint it. The millions we are sanantlerin on vessels that are sent on idle er rands in "squadroni of evolutions," painted pageants of tbe deep, had better be spent for earthworks and powerful guns to command everv roadstead, channel and harbor from which a hostile fleet could threaten or assaiL Is there any necessity forspending millions every year for naval defense, or any justifica tion forth hysterical appeals to popular appre hension and alarm? Our policy is pacific. We have no colonies nor dependencies, nor entang ling alliances. Wars break out unexpectedly, it it true, sometimes, but from wbAtquartercan danger be rationally anticipated? Our rela tions with Franceare those of traditional amity; with Germnv, ot kinthip and consanguinity; with Russia, of fraternity. The rest are trivial. Our only enemy is England, and she is under bond to keep the peace. No other nation is so vnlnerahle. and nonoso dftested. She has in curred the resentment or tbe human race by centuries of injustice. Knew Who to Kick. Colonel McCIure, a. noted Mississippi duelists had occasion to tick an unresisting gentleman at a hotel In Natchez. Being not long after in Memphis, the Coiunel sa his victim subjecting another to the same treatment. Being some what curious and nncertain as to the identity or the person, he said: "Are j on not the fellow I kicked downstairs in Natchez?" "Yes." he replied; "but, Colonel, yon and I know who to kick." Enzland kicked us when we were helpless and feelile. She sacked and burned a defense less capital. She lias kicked Ireland; she has kicked Kgypt; she has kicked the Hindoos, the Zulus, the Boers, the Chinese, but ihe i not in the habit of kicking her equal", llerconrase is prudent and calculating. She was careful not to kick Napoleon until the rest of Europe joined her, and she endured Russian aggres sion until 'he had persuaded France to bear the hrnnt of the Crimean cainptlgn. In onr Civil War she did all she ronld. short of open hostility, to destroy the Union, and then apolosized and paid damages. Lately we have had another cnntention abont seal poach ing and the Bering Sea. Not Much Damage. After All. Oceans ot ink have been shed in diplomatic correspondence between Lord Salisbury and Secretary Blaine. Great Britain fortified Van couver and sent ships of war into the disputed waters, walking around, metaphorically speak ing, begging us to knock tho chip from her shoulder, or to tread on the tails of her coat. Legally she had an open case, at least, in some respects, the best of the argument. A casus belli could easily have been found If wanted, and we were assured that tho danzcr was im minent, l'he boldest held his breath for awhile. Immense appropriations were prompt ly voted fur fortifications and tbe navy, ami then, while the national hair was standing on end. England suddenly came into our Supreme Court as a suitor, and submitted the whole con troversy to the decision of tliatgre.it tribunal. The newspapers that described the dramatic ntterances of Senators about the dangers of war with Great Britain contained In another column of the same issue an account of file proceedings in the old Senate chamber, in which Lord Salisbury submitted the claims of England to adjudication, as a question of inter national law. It was reassuring, but Ic was lamrhable, nevertheless. Jonx J. Ikoalls. NOW LOOKS LIKE PALMER. The Five Republican Kickers Still Hold Out Against Strecter. SnsixGFiEiiD, III., March 6.

Ernest Salinger" one of the Hebrew divinity students who killed himself AVednesday, was cremated to-day. It is the first case on record of one of his race being cremated. There was an exciting scene at the Hebrew College last evening, when 'Dr. Silinger.of Philadelphia, announced what disposition would be made of the remains. Rabbi AVise first ordered the body taken from the college, and declared that the funeral services should not pro ceed. A meeting of the trustees was called, and to them Dr. Salinger insisted that tha body should be cremated, as it was the wish of his family and of tbe deceased. The trustees finally yielded before this deter mined stand, and the ceremonies proceeded. - This morning Salinger's remains were cremated, only his uncle, Dr. Salinger, his sister-in-law, Mrs. Mack, and tbe latter's sister, Mrs. Lipmau, being present The cremation has excited tbe Hebrews of tha city almost as much as the suicide.
