Who wants I60.O00.000 worth of warships?
F.lsven of I'nela Sam'a protected cm aere,
thre. of his unprotected cruisers, ten of hla
. famous monitors, and a bunch of smaller
md cheaper fighting craft are. In tha
opinion of the. naval experts, "oslerlxed,"
and fit for little els. than the scrap heap.
Kacrrtary Meyer boldly announces that the
best place tor these mighty machines of
Histh Is the 1ink nil. Th.v are rustv.
cosily and Ineffective. If asnt against an
.enemy some of them would probably turn
turtl. wer. there any whit, cap agitating
the brine, and certainly if the modern
enemy took to hla heels not on. of the dear
r,A ,ih could catch him.
Practically all th. fighting ships of any
nn.M.rahl. ala. that wer. built before
are now declared by naval constructors
. and axnarta to be obsolete. The life of a
warship la twenty years, and during that
tlma It must be overhauled at tremendous
'.xpens. at leat one. In .very four or five
years or It will be useless before the end of
the two-decade period. Its engines must
be brought tip to date every little while if
it is to remain In the running; Its ammuni
tion hoists must be changed to keep pare
with the latest Improvements In th. char
acter of projectiles used; Its turrets must
be given new machinery; its guns must
have new sights, and In a word, its must
be made over from stem to stem and from
fighting top to keel or It will not b. worth
the soot that pours from Its funnels.
'It seems to me," said Secretary Meyer
to the house naval affairs committee th.
other day. "that it would be wise for the
department to have a sal. of vessels such
as Kngland had a few years ago, when It
courageously cam. forward and condemned
lot of vesaels and sold them."
Twe.ty-sls Decidedly Aattlejue.
"Which warships would you sell or send
to th. junk pile?" asked IUpresenla.tlv.
Padgett of Tennessee, one of the naval
committeemen.
I am not prepared to give a Hat of them
just now," replied Pcretary Meyer, "but
the lletrolt is one of them. I will have an
Inspection mad. and will b. abl. to report
on th. matter befor. th. next session of
congress. As a general proposition, I would
say that th. vessels to be condemned are of
th. smaller type cruisers, yachts and th.
like. A very small proportion of th. money
spent for repairs goes for battleships and
first-clans cruisers, and an enormous pro
portion goes for the repair of tugs, yachts,
etc. By authorising th. sals of these
obsol.t. vesMls an enormous saving would
b. mad.."
Th. Uetrolt, mentioned by Secretary
Meyer, Is an unprotected cruiser of 1089 tons
displacement, and was authorised by con
gress iti im. It cost ll.2U.038 to build, and
one upon a time, when It was tried out,
could mak. 18.T1 knots an hour. If put to
teat today It probably would have trouble
making fifteen. Modern . cruisers of the
North Carolina and Montana class of M.SK)
tons make nearly twenty-three knots an
hour.
If th. Detroit Is sent to the old iron
man to be melted up for what steel railk,
plowshares and horseshoes It will make,
It should have plenty of company on
th. Journey. Not counting the smaller
craft, such as the tuge, yachts and gun
boats, that Secretary Meyer may find to
be obsolete after his stocktaking thld
summer, there are twenty-six protected
and unprotected cruisers and monitors
that are decidedly antique from every
measuremsnt of efficiency and war. They
cost the United Slates treasury more than
J40.000.000. This Is a list of them: The
battleship Texas, protected cruisers Bal
timore, Chicago, Minneapolis, Newark, Sun
Francisco. Atlanta, Albany, New Orleans,
Boston, Cincinnati, Italeigh and Tacoma;
unprotected cruisers. Detroit, Marblehead
and Montgomery; monitors, Amphttrite,
Ulantonomoth, Monadnock, Monterey,
Puritan, Terror, Oxark, Tallahassee, To
nopah and Cheyenne.
Tat. I.valld.4 Texas.
When th. Texas waa built, twenty-four
years ago. It was thought to be a mighty
fin. sample of death dealer. Now It Is
Ilk. a race horns that one. upon a tlma
established a record, and U merely getting
stable room and feed for th. glorious work
he lias done Down at the Charleston
navy yard the Texas is now floating In
placid waters, and Is known among naval
men as "a mother ship" for torpedo boats
and submarines. Its duty Is to keep the
lesxer craft supplied with fuel and prov
ender, to make leisurely trips hers and
there for coal and food, and if trouble
with an enemy ever happens to give the
smaller boats the protection of Its larger
guns and stronger armor should they get
into difficulty.
All the monitors are In the Oslerlzed
class, and few naval men will admit uow
that as a type they were ever of much
account. In the first place, th. monitor
Is of no use whatever on th. high seas.
It cannot catch the slowest bottom that
flosts unless It Is a slower monitor and
is absolutely helpless when attacked by
torpedo boats. Th. monitor cannot get
out of Its own way, much less avoid one
of the swift little bomb-throwers thai
strike and disappear.
"I will hardly consign th old ships to
tne scrap heap, as the secretary suggests, I
said Rct.resentallva Richmond Pearson
Hobson, a member of th. house naval af
fairs committee, who, by the way, would
probably now be chief constructor of th
navy had he not resigned his commission
to enter politics, "for I think they can be
placed to much better service. As aux
iliary ships, or th. 'second line of de
fense,' I think nearly all the vessels that
th. secretary would sell might b. made
to do valiant work. As mine ships, col
liers, supply ships, repair ships and even
valuable harbor defense forts, these old
vessels might be put to many years'
service yet
"1 am especially Impressed with th. pos
sibilities of using the monitors In this man
ner. They could be planted literally, not
figuratively, planted, 1 mean at the mouth
of every one of our Important harbors. At
Hampton Roads, the month of the Missis
sippi, the entrance to Puget Sound, the
Golden tJate, San Diego and Mobile they
would make flno practical forts. I would,
of course, build nrtlflclal Islands for them
if there were no convenient resting places
where they wer. needed. These Islands
need only be large enough to hold th. old
hulls, and should be protected by rip-rap,
so that torpedoes or mines could not be
exploded under them or against their sides.
Then, too. I would have torpedo tubes
built right In the islands, and thus make
them even more effective than their big
turrets and ueavy guns would without
these aids. The naval militia of the vari
ous states would be very glad, Indeed, to
receive any of the worn-out ships that the
secretary wishes to separata from his de
partment."
Mllllnaa for Repairs.
An idea pf the tremendous sums that are
required to keep warships In repair may
be obtained from a letter that Secretary
Meyer sent to the speaker of the house of
representatives under data of December 21,
when he was submitting his estimates for
th. coming year. Here are a few of the
modest llttl. Items h. enumerated as being
absolutely necessary for "repairs and
changes" of these vessels:

PERILS FOR NERVY TOURISTS
What Happens to Cilobe Trotters
Who Profane Sacred
Places.
Th. attack by an Afghan ghasl upon
two American women In the mosque of
Omar In Jerusalem Is explained as an
art of resentment against disturbing
worship. The women profaned the mosque
with their street shoes, talked loudly and
took photographs. If this Is th. cas. they
deserved reproof, though hardly revolver
shots.
English and American tourists ar. often
callous to religious sensibilities. In th.
doomed Cathedral of Messina befor. the
earthquake a veiled woman led a pet dog
about. The sacristan when appealed to
shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "For
esticra," h. explained, "a foreigner!'' Mrs.
TVuiinp. describes a balv cok kj-ii v
Kt. Peter's, Rome. Just at the elevation ol
the host the solemn huih of thousands
waa broken by tho popping of a champegn
cork In tha tribune reserved for English
visitors. Th. deseciatlon of the Taj
Mahal In India by luncheon parties Is a
frequent offense.
The, cities of th. "grand tour" .In Ku
rope ar. used to hordes of tourists who
clatter past altars during service, alklng
loudly; but there ar. parts of th. world
that tak such offenses seriously. It costs
10 cents In Cairo for a frank to .nter a
mosque. In Constantinopl. $1, In Morocco
his life unless he Is lucky, It Is not so
long ago that a tourist was killed titer,
for that offense and another for breaking
the comtnandmei.t against Imag making
by photographing a shalk.
Jerusalem, a holy city to Moslem and
J w, as we.ll as to warring monks of many
creeds, does not lightly pardon offenses
against worship. A famous quarrel be
tween monks at the Holy Sepulcher was
th. cause of th Crimean war. New York
World.
Th. Candid Friend.
"Elsie," says tha candid friend. "I heard
that you ar. engaged to Mr. Pllff."
'Yes," replies lUme, coyly. "Congratu
late me."
"What! You are going to marry th.1t
coarse, ugly. Ill-mannered, boorish, gawky
Mr. Pllff. Why. the only thing th. man
has to recommend him Is hhi money. Elsie,
you are a fool."
"Out you have been misinformed. I am
not going to marry that Mr. Pltff. I am
going to marry th young, handsome Mr.
Pliff. who hasn't a cent in the world."
"What! Marry that poverty-strieken
man? fcilsle, you am a fool!" Chicago Post.
