has been published iThe Secretary plunges
at once into facts and figures, the m st
interesting of which ait- as follows

There ia, further, the auxiliary fleel.
This consists, first, of more than twenty
subsidized steamers which comply witti
the requirements of the postal act or
March 3, 1891, with regard te tiiv
adaptability to naval service, and to .111
armament of main and secondary lot
teries, second, or a very much greater
number of laige merchant marine steam
er&, which can Le availed of at any time
of need.
Thest auxiliaries, ranging from 2,000
12,000 tons, will, if occasion require, form
a powerful fleet of ocean cruisers, capt I le
or swift and formidable attack ujou an
cneniv's commerce. Their great ctnl
enjacity will aim enable them to 'emain
a long time at sea in search of the where
abouts or hostile vessels.
The '0uutry Is to be congratulated upon
the results obtained in the rebuilding of
the Navy. While ito ships are not as
J mam and It is not necessary they ohould
be as those of borne other great powjisr
they are, class for class, in power, speed,
workmanship, and offensive and defensive
qualities, trie equal of easels built any
where else In the world
Here follows u list of the vessels under
construction, which he says should be
completed during the coming year, ex
cept the TUo battleships which will piolu
biy not be leady for service before the
latter pait or 1899. Of the latter the
Kearsarge and Kentucky are neatly hah'
completed. About three-quarters of their
armor has been delivered, a part of which
lias been secuied in place on the ship.
The other three, the Alalwma. Illinois,
anil Wisconsin, were begun subsequent to
the last annual leport.
In compliance with tha direction of Con
gross, that plans tuidestimat-s for the es
tablis'-uientof an armyi plant be prepared,
the di-partnientnppointed an armor-facto.y
lxord, composed f officers selected wn'i
t-sp.f jal regard to their fitness for this duty
They have made a careful investigation of
the problems presented, aud have visited
some 01 the principal steel and iron manu
facturing points in the country The result
will be transmitted to Congiesi in a special
report.
The tUiartnienthas during the past year
adopted the practice of placing in reserve
such easelH as It deems advisable for any
reason not to retain in active commission
Some such syateni is necessary to at once
avoid tne groat cost of keeping too mauy
vessels m active service and yet keeping
enough ready for action at short notice.
The limited number of officers and men is
also an important consideration.
Ppeakmg of other naiious'nuval prcgress
he says
"The total number of England's vessels
of all elasscs under construction during
the year amount to 117, with an ag
grtgate displacement of aLout 44i,000
tons, and with an aggregate Iridic ted
lkjrsepowcr of aLout 935,000. It is antici
pated that during the pre-iit fiscal year 00
of these vessels will be completed for
beniee, itieliidlng 50 torpedo buat destroy
ers. Naval const ruction in France is als 1
lare. The minister of marine has been
authorized to commence the construction
of a total of seventeen vessels, at a coot
of $iG,194,72u. In addition to these
there will be under construction during
the ivjii 1897-98 a total of sixty-nine
vessels of all descriptions. Japan comes
next, leading Russia, Italy, Germany aud
Spam.
There are row under construction f r
the Spanish government; 4armored cruisers,
4 p-otected cruisers, 4 gunboats, 4 tor
pedo boats, and 3 battleships, to be fitted
with new l-ollars and guns in France.
It appears from the report of the bureau
of vards -ijw docks that today the mist
urgent need of the naval servics is an in
crease of. docking facilities. On tne
Pacific const there is but one dock f
sufficient size to dock u. 'mod em battleship.
This lack of docknfg facilities should be
remedied at the earlleot possible momeut.
The necessity is imperative.
Spain lias nineteen docks, only oae if
which is capable of docking the largest
battle-hips.
Pr.,gres lwis been made under th Bu
reau of Ordnance in arming our vessels In
keeping with their Increase in numbvr.
It appears from its report that all the
- guns-, o47 in number, required for the main
batteries of the modern snips of the Navy
have been completed, except those for
the five battleships now under constcun
tion, and for the Hurtford. These guns,
however, will be completed far in advance
of the battleships. During the past jear
8-i mms of various calibers, from 4 to 13
Inches, for the main batteries of -vessels,
have been completed -at the naval gun
factory, and 1G9 are now in procssof
manufacture. For secondary batteries for
naval vessels the department has ordered
9G3 guns.
Contracts' have been made during tbp
last year for a quantity of common and
armor-piercing shells Tor 1-pounder and im
pounder guns, and for guns of from 4 to 13
inch caliber.
Ten tbousind 0 mm. Lee straight pull
rifles have been supplied, and nearly all the '
vessels in commission, except these on for
eign stations, have been equipiicd with
them.
Fifty automatic guns, firing small-arm
ammunition, have been procured aud arp in
proves-, of issue to the ser ice. Fifty more
are in process of manufacture.

Advertisements for supplies in Che Dls

of the Government are icqulred by law to
be "given to one dally, and one weekly
ncwhjiaper of each of the two principal
political parties, and to one daily and ouo
weeklj neutral newspaper," and under the
construction placed upon this law by the
department it has been its practice to ad
vertise in six newspapers. Tills law should
be so amended as to exempt supplies for the
Washington Navy Yard from its require
ments and leave the general law to con
trol their purchase.
Ihe depaitment recommends that theie
be Iiieerted In the provision for the main
temince of the naval militia the woids

of iraining the militia for this purpose
The department recommends that the

to bring this swift, mobile, and handily

The Secretary does uotantlQipatc, wa)y;
lie says:
"Our remoteness from foreign powers
the genius of our institutions, and the de
votion of our people to education, com
merce, and industry, rather than to any
policy that involves jinilitary entangle
ments, make war ta toft thought of only
as a last resort in dereiweiofour rights, and
our military and ija,Y:alie-itaAltshnients as a
police force for the prrWfvation of order
and never for aggression.'1
The report closes with a recommendation
for econon.y hi naval construction.
THE IOWA A GOOD SHIP.

Her oreathlng sort and Jow,
A In her breast the wave of lire.
Kept heaving to and rro.
So silently we seemed to rpeafc; '.
So slowly moved, moved about, "
As we had lent her half our powers.
To eke her living out.
Our weary hopes belled our fears;
Our fears our hopes belied;
We thought her dying when she slept.
Ana sleeping when she died.
