Just at. this time wiumi interest in our nary nnil nrmy hns been much aroused n few fuels coneorninp; tlie vessels of our navy will prolmbly prove Interesting to ninny of our renders. In the pnst fifty yonrs b great chnngc hns been nindo iu the construction of vessels used for war and commerce, formerly they were built of wood, but now steel or iron is used for the building of nil men-of-war and also for a large majority of the merchant ships. The vessels of a nnvy can be divided into two classes thoso used for attacking purposes and those for defensive. Battle-ships are to give and take heavy blows. They are large, heav ily armored with iron from ten to twenty inches thick. There nre now eight, the Maine (which was one of our smaller ones) nindo nine. A large pun on the Maine could throw shot weighing 2,1)00 lbs., so the force of a throw from one of our larger battleships may be imagined. Cruisers often called "(Jomiuorce destroyers" as in war perhaps their greatest value consists in destroying tlie enemy s merchant vessels, are built ot steel, not armored, thus they are lighter t hough not much smaller than the battle-ships. We have six teen cruisers. The Baltimore und Chicago arc in this class and they have a sieed of from twenty to twenty-six miles uu hour. Armored cruisers of which the New York and Brooklyn are the only ones iu our nuvy, have some ot the qualities of both tlie Battle ships and cruisers. They have the speed of the cruisers and also au nr- uiorfrom three to five inches. The defensive vessels are much more numerous iu our navy. They are planned to prevent tho landing of foreign armies, to protect us from attack and to destroy vessels seut to attack us. The general name gnen to these vessels is Monitor taken lroui the first vessel of this type which was used to overcome the Merriinac. They consist of an uon Uoat upon which is one, some times two, revolving turrets con taining two large guns each. As thotuirotis circular, shot is likely to glanca from it and a. it revolves, guns may be ilred iu any direction. These vessels are intended for coast defense 'uul not for long trips as they nre slow and heavy. Our navy has six largo double-turret ones. (Juu-boats are much smaller vessels, of these we have a number useful mninly to help the larger vessels of war nnd to patrol the coasts. Next come the torpedo-boats still smaller but the fastest of all, able to make twenty-six to twenty-eight miles nu hour, not armored but fixed with tubes through which they can discharge torpedoes. Their tor pedoes will destroy the largest battlo-ships afloat if they can get near enough before they are hit. They nre dangerous opponents, owing to the power of their torpedocB and their speed which enables them to escape from larger vessels. What No tto Wear White petticoats on muddy days.

The New York "Commercial," n financial publication' sustains the assertion made in these columns that the sugar trust gained no permanent advantage through theenactment of the Dingloy law, by saying in a re cent issue that : "Refiners who knew the profits of tho business nud who had been long on stock for years, and, do not dream of buying it back." Considering that this statement is made when smrar trust stock has fallen from 100 to 120, it is apparent that those most familiar with tho real facts of the case do not consider that tho trust occupies an advantageous position under the new law.

A TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN SAILORS. NOTES ON THE ARMY. Washington, March 28. 1898 President McKinloy Is mnster of the diplomatic game that Spain wanted to play. He has sent the report of the Naval Court of inquiry that the Maine was treacherously blown up from the outside, to Con gress, where it hns been referred to committees, and merely forwarded a copy of the report to Spain, without accompanying it with any specific demand. He has thus dofeated the intention of Spain to play Its own alleged report, that the fxplosion was internal, ngainst the report of our Court nnd to ask thnt an inter national Court be selected to deter mine which report should be accept ed by both countries. Spnin now hoped to gain more time ,by thnt dispute, but no dispute is to be rec ognized by this government. The re port of our court is final. Spnin now has an opportunity to offer to do the right, thing, but no matter whnt it does, President McKinley intends, as all the world will see in a very few days, that peace shall reien in Cubn.nnd starvation cense to stalk over the Island. The Congressionnl lenders of nil parties hnve been taken into the confidence of President McKinley as to his plans, and In return on the Maine report, but would allow the matter to rest until the President diplomatically informs Spain of his intentions as to Cuba, and ascertains whether these intentions will be peaceably acquiesced in, or met by war. Meanwile the Presidont ac cepts the hint of the Spanish gov erment that the fleot of torpedo boats nnd torpedo destroyers have been sent to Porto Rico for effect upon the elections in Spain, and not with hostile intentions towards the United States. Should that, fleet, however, be start ed from Porta Rico to Cuba, it will be considered n hostile move ngninst this country nnd will be treated accordingly. In short, Spain must choose whether it will retire from Cuba peacefully, or be driven out. That is just about where the mat ter stands. President McKinley is prepared for either oontingercy, but wishes to give Spnin a last chance to avoid trouble. The Agriculture, Department will this season, conduct two special in vestrgntions in Alaska, one to ascer tain by practical experiments what vegetables and cereals can be grown in Alaska soil, and one, under the auspices of the Weather Bureau, to obtain information as to general climatic conditions. These experi ments will be more likely to deter mine whether Alaska is to become thickly populated, than the discov eries of the gold hunters. Representative Fobs, of 111. , paid a splendid nnd deserved tribute to Americnn sailors, in a speech in the House, from which the following is extracted : " The brilliant achieve ments of the American sailor in the war of our National Independence, when our Navy consisted of only a small fleet of eight vessels, In com mand of Commodore Essex Hopkins, early inspired a feeling of pride in our Navy. Tbe names of Biddle and Bnrry, and Nichols, and Whipple and of others I might mention, re call the daring and bravery of that period. If war should come and we were obliged to protect the honor of this oountry upon the sea, the American people would soon dis cover thnt the men in the Navy to dny are fully as brave, daring and eager to meet the foe, as the Ameri can sailors of the past, "whose faith nnd truth on war's red touchstone rang true metal.' " Nothing more significant of the drift of everything towards war has occurred than the ordorof Secretary Long that all of our warships should at once be painted a less con spicuous color than white, which makes too good a target. If there is to be war, this govern ment has no idea, of confining it to Cuba and the adjacent waters. No plan has been or will be made public, but all the same there is a plan, which will be promptly carried out, to carry tho war right into Spain itself. This government has not sought and is not seeking war, but if war oomes, it intends to utilize all of its enormous resources of men and money to fight it to a speedy and victorious end. A War Department official says that if present plans are not changed, tlie breaking out of war with Spain will be immediately followed by the mustering into the U. S. Army, by regiments, of the entire organized militia of the oountry. As there are more than 100,000 men in the militia, it is believed that they will bo all the solders that will bo used. It would be possible to mass the en tire militia force of the country nt any given point well inside of ten days. There appears to be soma doubt in some quarters as to the President's authority to thus utilize tbe state militia, but there is none among officials in Washington, who have made a study of the subject . One of the results of tho recent, nctivity on the pnrt of the govern mant in preparing for exigencies is that every port on our const in which any considerable damnge could be done by wnrships of an enemy, impossibility for the entire naval force of Spain to enter a single one of them, and thnt for Spanish warships to even attempt to do so would result In prompt des truction. Thanks to an alert Presi dent and a pntrlotio Congress, our sea-coast cities are now safe from either invasion or serious damnge from a foreign enemy.
