The recent growth of the United States
navy is justly a matter of pride and joy'
to all of us, ami since the recent oppor
tunity for comparison with other nations
—in New York hurbor—our pleas
tiro in
by no means lessened. At the crmit naval
review the A routine Republic rather as
tonished the rest of by appear
ing with a cruiser tliut can make 93$
knots an hour and ift therefore claimed
to be the fastest afloat. The TJuitotl
Stiite, however, held her own hand
somely hi the pt«neral exhibit bnt for a
full appreciation of the comparisons to
follow a fewworOa of htptpry most be
prefaced.
When the civil war was officially de
clared at an end. the government had 'J09
vessels, of which 1T1 were originally
merchant vessels nnd were soon restored
to that service. "Many others were sold
and refitted for the merchant service,
and so rapid was the decay as well as
the change in naval warfare that nearly
all the others were soon reduced to the
value of old jnnk. In truth, the navy
was got rid of only a little less rapidly
than the army, anl all at once the coun
try woke up to the fact that it was prac
tically without a modern navy.
TfUE KUEVK DK JTIJO.
In l$8t a naval advisory board was
created, which reports! that for proper
defense in time of war this nation abso
lutely needed 21 armored vessels, 70 tin
armored cruisers, 5 rams, 5 torpedo gun
boats and 20 torpedo l»oats. On March
8,1883, the act was passed ordering three
cruisers and one dispatch boi»t. The
contract was awarded to John Roach &
Sons, and to the reconstruction of the
navy bepfun. These three cruisers were
the Boston. Atlanta end Chicago, and
the greatest speed averaged by any of
them was l."H knots.
Secr*?fary Whitney then took control
in the Cleveland administration and was
confronted r.t the start with the fact
that a complete revolution had taken
pl v even while the Roach vessels were
being finished. Compound engines had
given place to twin screws, and twin
screws were fast giving place to triple
expansion engines. The first result was
the Nev. ark. built by the Cramps at a
cost of fl.S-i-S.CJO, with triple expansion
engines which maintained 194 knots per
hour for four hours. Then came the
Baltimore, at a cost of $1,325,000, with
engines which outdid thoce of the New
ark by a very plight fraction. And so
the improvement went on till the San
Francisco was put afloat with a horse
power of 10.400 and a speed of 20.17
knots. Atod row we are promised three
inoie at an early date which will main
tain a speed of 21 knots for some hours,
and after that still further advances.
In the m- antiine, here is the Nueve de
Julio, which can go at tlie rate of 23$
kr ots per hour and slipped across the
Atlantic so quietly that her arrival at
l?e\v York Jvas a complete surprise.
Though an Argentine ship, she is Eng
lish built and caine fresh from the fa
mous yards of Sir William Armstrong,
Mitchell & Co., Newcastle. Her name
means &th of July, which is independ
ence day to the Argentines.. She went
first to the Azores, and her trip thence
to New York eclipsed, for a continuous
run, the best showing cf the fasteBt At
lantic liner.s. No other cruiser in the
word cm compare with her on a long
run. I .ly and Spain have gunboats
which itdo her for a short distance.

About the time of the Nueve de Julio's
arrival the new United Stales cruiser
Detroit.imuio her trial trip in front olj
Hew London, Conn., and vrm at onc4
pronounced the fa?test in the world of
her class. Her contractors, the Colum
bian iron Works and Dry dock company
of Baltimore, had guaranteed 17 knots
per hour, and she made nearly 19. so
thev will receive a premium of about
«80O ,000, the largest ever paid by any
government on the completion of a vessel.

ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE.
The Daughter of Wllltoai Walter Phelps
Betrothed at B«rlla.
The wedding of Miss Marian Phelps,
only daughter of William Walter Phelps,
our lale minister to Germany, to Dr.
Franz von Rothenburg, under secretary
cf the interim III the Qerman govern
ment, will be in
ytriking contrast
to many of the
recent so called
"international
marriages," both
in its freedom
from vulgar os
tentation and in
the fact that th#'
bridegroom,
though of a dis-
MARIAN PHELPS. tingnished fam
ily, 4b a man of scholarly attainments
and without a title. The marriage is to
take j)lace in Berlin and will be as e%
tirely unostentatious and private as
though neither of the high contracting
parties was known beyond a limited cir
cle of personal friends.
Miss Phelps is a very popular yonng
woman in New Jersey, especially in the
vicinity of Teaneck, her father's magnifi
cent estate in Bergen county, where she
was born and where her friends hoped
she would one day return to permanent
ly reside. It seems to be a settled ar
rangement now, however, that except
for an occasional visit to her childhood's
home Miss Phelps will reside abroad
after her marriage. Her husband's offi
cial duties will of course make this nec
essary, and it is extremely unlikely that
he will abandon his brilliant prospects
in the emperor's service.
Dr. von Rothenburg has been in the
Qerman interior department for a num
ber of years and was Bismarck's first
lieutenant daring the last 12 years
of his premiership. Although his con
nection with the Iron Chancellor was
intimate, he was selected for advance
ment by Chancellor Caprivi and would
have been promoted to a cabinet jjosition
before now but- for an inopportune ill
ness. The doctor is scholarly and refined,
has an ample fortune and is alout 40
years of age.
The bride is a young woman of many
accomplishments and rare good sense.
She speaks many languages and by her
tact and womanly modesty won her way
into the favor of every one connected
with the diplomatic corps. She has
been her father's constant companion
for years and has always sympathized
with his political aspirations, so she has
kept herself well informed on matters
connected therewith. Her knowledge
of politics and her natural diplomacy
are said to have been of great assistance
to Mr. Phelps, who was accustomed to.
sap that she "ran the legation."
THE O'CONNELL MEMORIAL.
Tk« Bcaatifal Church to Be Shown IBMla
lature at the Fair.
A miniature model in carved stone of
the Daniel O'Connell Memorial church
at Cahirciveen, County Kerry, Ireland,
is among the interesting objects to be
found in the Irish village at the World's
fair. Though the church is not itself
completed, the model will of course rep
resent it as it is intended to be when fin
ished, when it will unquestionably "i*•
one of the handsomest structures in tbo
world. It is now built up to the roof,
but it is estimated that it will take aboul
$50,000 more to finish it and properly
furnish it. This sum the Rev. Canon
Brosnan, who has devoted himself to the
work, expects to raise, though his expe-
a'ence
teaches that funds come in bnt
owiy.
The site of the church is a splendid
one in the center of the town of Cahir
civeen. commanding a splendid view of
the river, with a glimpse of Valentia,
two miles and a half away. The edifice
faces the road from Killarney, and an
uninterrupted view of it can be obtained
from a considerable distance before m-

tering the town. The length of the nave
and chancel combined is 152 feet and
the width at the transepts 102 feet. The
roof ridge is 70 feet high, and the spire
of the tower will reach an altitude of
168 feet above the ground when it is
completed. The liberator's son began
the erection of the church in memory of
his father and carried on the work very
successfully until his death, since when
it has made very slow progress and
would have languished entirely but for
the untiring energy of Rev. Genoa
A Warning to Complaisant People.
Here is a warning to people who gift
letters of recommendation indiscriiai
nately to discharged servants: A fow
weeks ago an English lady was obliged
to pay $20 as damages for having given
a good "character" to a servant whom
she knew to be unfaithful. Her written
recommendation of the servant enabled
the latter to get a place which she could
not have obtained without the recom
mendation and in which she proved un
faithful and de$rif»ei&il to tim who

wheat hcitcaube weakness at the start. Pur
chases by Pardrid^e, the food exports and a
disposition to wait for more weather new
from continental Europe disposed many hold

down. Shorts i May are about all in. Oats
followed other grains. Most of tie trade was
changing May contracts to more deferred
