THE WOLD'S NAVIES. The following estimates of the .. thre great powers of the should befall her which would re suit in the dessolution of the Em plre. At the present time she has in commission 52 battleships, 18 armored cruisers, 97 protected crui sers, 16 unprotected cruisers, 18 coast defense vessels and 183 torpe do vessels. She has in process of construction 16 battleships, 8 arm ored cruisers, 24 protected cruisers and 46 torpedo vessels. France has in commission 27 bat tloships, 9 armored cruisers, 30 pro tected cruiscre, 16 unprotected cru lsers, 15 coast defense vessels and 224 topedo boats. Russia has in commission 12 bat tleships, 10 armored cruisers, 3 pro tected cruisers, 20 coast defense vessels and 192 torpedo boats. She has in process of construction 6 battleships, 1 armored cruiser, 3 protected cruisers, 1 coast defense vessels and 28 torpedo vessels. At this time Germany has in com mission 17 battleships, 3 armored cruisers, 7 protected cruisers, 21 unprotected cruisers, ]2 coast de fense vessels, and 115 torpedo boats. In process of construction she has 5 battleships, 2 armored cruisers, 8 protected cruisers and 10 torpedo boats. Italy, dispite its political crises, has 15 battleships in commission, 3 1 armored cruisers, 15 protected crun. isers, I unprotected cruiser and 159 t torpedo boats. She is now building e 2 battleships, 2 armored cruisers, 2 protected cruisers and 2 torpedo e boats. The United States has in corn- d mission 2 battleships, 2 armored tl cruisers, 14 protected cruisers, 18 al unprotected cruisers, 21 coast de. fense vessels, and 8 torpedo boats. vi We have in course of construction rt 8 battleships, 8 armored cruisers, 1I i protected cruiser and 52 torpedo ves sels. It will thus be seen that al- ci -though this country is far behind pr each of the powers in the matier of ch battleships and indeed, inferior as to to armored cruisers, at the present mr rateofprogress, it will in a few b years be second to Great Britain.- fo States. ho Rlchland parish has increased her '" assessment over 1897, $52,269. ful ye: The assessment rolls of Union parsh for 1898, shows a decrease of th $29,994. ing da' Admiral Dewey fired the first gu~n ine of the American-Spanish war, and ma also the last gun. the poi Spain lost forty-seven armed ships nor during the war of only four months, wel the value of them being put down ait over $25, '~0,000.
