Our Navy. Hertofore British naval authorities have been worried over the possibilities of the French navy, but British experts who have been comparing the latest and best French war ships with our ship, the Newark, have reported that the latter is the more effective cruiser, while the triple-screw cruiser now nicknamed the I’irate is a source of special alarm to them. It is believed that she will out-run the fastest ocean stamships and will probably be the best cruiser in the world. But those Anglomaniac newspapers which, eight years ago, predicted that an effective war ship could not be built in this country are silent. —Indianapolis Journal. C. C.
