Three new steel tugs have also been eonstruecd and put in service during this perio..i.

(/la*nllieat Ion ol the Navy. "Our new navy, including all v» »rcl8 built or authorized, now consists of the following vessels: One sea-going-battleship !lrst clas*— Iowa. Three coktsi-line battleships »ilrst-clas» .Massachusettn, Indiana, Oregon. Two battleships (second class*—Maine, Texas. Six uouble-turreted harlor-defense vessels—Puri tan, Monterey, Miantonomoh.

Two torpedo boats —l.'ushing. No. '2. matting a total of'forty-two vessels.

Ha« Mistmired (jiiupr'tUnrn.

'•AU the above, with perhaps one or two exceptions, are essential components of a fully develojM'd naval force, but Die relative conttibntton to the defensive power of the UriiifH States to be found iti these groups of vessels is not lo oe measured either by the number. of ships or the number of tons'• atone. The devrloiment of the last four years has not been eontlned to ships alon*.. At the beginning of this administration the naval establishment was entirely destitute of certain elements of efficiency, each one of which was. indispensable to Its practical employment as a fighting force, and the absence of which.'if it had bee'i possessed of a hundred shlpp. wopld still have left it in a condition of paralysis. These were the following Armor, torpedoes, heavy rapid-fire lruns, armor-piercing shells, smokeless powder, high explosives.

The secretary detaiis at i-uigih noteworthy progress in the production of these things, and Miys the proctvss roted. by which the United States has emerged from its condition of help.«sness at sea and by the employment of its own resources'has distanced its most experienced competitors, marks an epoch in naval development not'only of this country but of the world. .' Trsts of Armor Plate.

Cominjfdowtt to a detailed statement as to urmor te-its the secretary tells ,.pf the work accomplished, of the tremendous lest to which the Harvey nickel-steel armor plate was sub-•j'-cied. as the result of which improved methwere intrtntuctal in the Harvey process, and Continues: rue result has never been equaled or even approached-before by iiny'annnr plate, Amcr'.an or foreign. Lt has demonstrated that •the United States, in the reconstruction of ils new navy, which ten years aeo had no txJsUMice- even on paper, is enabled to place upon each and all of lis armored \ensels a material the like of which the world, up

this time, has not sern: and that

while vast sums have been snent In plating the bides oi foreign men-of-war with an inferior material. this country will employ for the purpose an armor which is not only far mere efficient, but which represents unquestionably, having reference to the dimensions of plates thus far tested, the highest development of modern science, and a development reached by its own imh• poiute.n efTor s. "Following the example of the United States, the Hnclish government four weeks ago held a trial of the new .American armor, and it clear Iroin the highly succe«bful results of the trial that the United States, Instenu of being the lust in the race in the construction of vessels of war or of borrow ing it* best ideas from abroad, has set au example in this respect which other maritime |»owers will speedily lollov,v'\v

Ordnance.

In reference to ordnance of the navy tho secretary makes extended reference to developments' promising greatly improved results. Comment is also made at length as to powder manufactt.re. high explosives, and projectiles, nil showing progress of the most satisfactory nature. With regard to. torpud s. while the Howell torpedo has not gone much he\ond the tage of hope with which the deparou'-ut. entered 11'poh a coniract for its mannfaota/e four years age, yet the latest trials are giving jreat promN4*

Would llulid Only First 4'Iuhk. The secretary depreciates the construction of any more vessels of the monitor type, elnboratln/ arguments against their usefulness, and, qnot.in'g from the report of Chairman Iferbert. of. thi? house cbmmltioo en naval affair:#, says:

Our true naval policy for the future is to con struct h-reat'UV: princjpil!y. irt not entirely, only lirst class crufsers and tii rt-class battleships, with their accessories.'1

The secretary speaks with much satisfaction of the act to "encourage American ship building." under which the City of Paris and City of New York .are udiniucd to American regIbtry.

Should lift I'ontluurd.

'J'he nggf sslve policy of foreign nations continues. and thir« country, whether it will or not. will soon be forced into a position where it eai.not disregard measures which form a Uandiug menace toils prosperity and security On the isthmus our commerce is enraged in a '.espcrate light to maintain its foothold. In he south Pacific repeated annexations and protectorates are extending the power and inihlence of lite maritime staler of tin old world. Subsidized lines of fast steamer1-' are vompleting the circlo of maritime communication on the eastern nd western coasts of the Dominion of Canada and fortresses daily increasing in strength are surruundin? our coast upon the south and east. Under ihese circumstances it is Imperative to the welfare of this country that the policy of naval reconstruction, so successfully carried on in the past, should suffer no interruption \u the future.

IN CONGRESS.

A Por«en«t ot tho Proceeding1!* for 1 tic \VOPU Tb«T Antl-Opttnii Hill to LL«« Taken t'p In the S«u«te.

WASHINGTON, Dec. PJ. -It is rarely that any legislation of any praotieal importance is achieved in congress before Lite new year, with the possible exception of one of the annual appropriation bills, and this session is not liitelv to prove exceptional in this regard. The prominent features of this week's proceedings are likely to be the unti-oplion hill in the senate and au appropriation bill in the house. The anti-option bill is the uniinished business on the senate calendar. Once the anti-option bill is laid before, the seuate it will be open to discussion again and no positive action on the measure is expected this week. From present indications the daily sessions will be short and an adjournment will be taken from Thursday until Monday. it is quite probably that in the house this week* a great deal of information will be given to the country relative to the condition of the treasury, it is the expectations of the. leaders of the house that pructicallv the whole time of Lite house during the wee? will be tievoted to consideration of the regular anuual appropriation bills. Tue debate will begin on tlte army appropriation bill, which the military committee will report to-day. and which

Chairman Outhwaite intends to call up Tuesday, it is likely that the debate will take a wide range and will embrace the stale of the revenue* of existing appropriations, and. it is possible, of the policy of the democratic party.

WHKKMNO. W. Va.. Dec. 12.— Rlood lias been flowing down in the Hlkhorn mining region the last few days. As the record now stands two men have been murdered, one lynched and a faithful ofiieer of the law lies mortally wounded. The first victim of the murderers was Officer James Brooks, who was killed at Keystone. on the IClkhorn river, in au attempt to suppress disorder growing out of the loo free indulgence by the tniucrs iu liquor on nay day.

An Officer Killed.

Oflicer Dillon aud Coustable Rurton attempted to regulate a tough colored mau uamed Cornelius Coffee, when Coffee opened tire on them. Dillon was shot through the. right breast, near the nipple, and died. Kurton received a ball in the body but isexpected to pull through. This shooting, followed so closely on the murder of Oflicer .lames Brooks. stirred up great excitement and a close search was made for CofVee, who succeeded, however, in boarding a Chesapeake fc

Ohio train and was soon over the line into Virginia. Conductor (Jriftith recognized Coffee on the train and telegraphed ahead to the officers at Pocahontas, who arrested him on the arrival of the train. llunged and shot. I\ The West Virginia authorities were notified and Detective Kugeue Robinson went to Pocahontas, secured his man and started baek to Klkhorn.

When Keystone. the scene of the tragedy. was reached a mob. of determined men entered the train, quietly relieved Kobinson of his mau, proceeded a tree close by the track, ami Coffee wn* dangling from a limb in a few minutes, while the mob riddled his body with a hundred bullets and then dispersed, leavmg the corpse hanging at the end of a

rope.

Senator Allison replied that the AmericanVr-mild. prefer a ratio of I Id to l. but if agreeable to iliC European state-* the Americans might accept a different ratio. Tor himself he thought that silver-using states would most logically adopt the ratio of l.Vs. to 1.

Beauty often depends on plumpness so does comfort so does health. If you j^.t thin, there is something wrong, though you may feel no sign of it.
