WOOD, General Manager. General Passenger Agont. sides or turret armor is ready as yet and she ia not as forward a state as was tho Miantonomoh in 1884. The probable date of hor first cruise as part of onr new Navy (on paper) is a suMBot'Tpr conjecture. The lesson to be derived from tho history of the monitors i that it is wise to use care in designing ships and then complete them with all convenient speed.

Between 1873 and 1877 $3,528,580 was Bpent on the Miantonomoh, Terror, Puritan, Monadnock and Amphitrite five double turreted monitors and then they were permitted to he on the stoelcB for six years before they were launched. Nothing deteriorates so fast as an iron ship lying out of service and neglected. It may bo stated that an iron or steel ship should be kept always in commission to ensure itB preservation. But when one Congress appropriates enough money to begin a ship and the next Congress refuses to continue the work, we have, as in the civse of the monitors, an explanation of the fact that millions have been spent upon the Navy since the war with no other result than steady deterioration. The Chicago, of 4,500 tons diBplacemeut, the argest of the Bonch cruisers, has been at the Brooklyn Yard for more than a year.

She has had a trial of her machinery, developing the required power; her masts and electric light plant have been put in and she is now awaiting her battery, which will soon be ready. She will be a fine ship when completed. She was begun in 1883 and may mako her first cruise in 1889 six yearBtobuildanunarmored ship in this country. The docking facilities of the Brooklyn Yard are quite insufficient, and there arc ships now building which could not be accomraodatedby the Btone dock built some years ago. A new wooden dock is now building which will admit a ship about four hundred and fifty feet long.

This will be an important improvement, although a wooden dock will not be so durable as one of Btouo. It is said that there are more dry docks available for naval vessels in any one of England's navy yards than in all our yards combined, and this, too, notwithstanding the great length of our coast and the necessity for docking iron and steel ships once or twice a year to prevent corrosion and decay. In time of war our ships would be at a disadvantage if compelled to sail hundreds of miles to a dry dock for repairs. This is one of the vital defects iu our navy yards. Tho Bteel cruiser Boston is being prepared for sea and will probably sail in two or three weeks.

Her recent battery trial was very successful, owing to changes made as a result of the difficulties encountered on board the Atlanta. The main battel? of the Boston consists of two 8 inch and six 0 inch Bteel rifles. The former throws a shell weighing 250 pounds, with a charge of 120 pounds of powder, and with a resulting volocity that will carry it through about 17 inches of wrought irou at short range. The 6 inch shot weighs 100 pounds and the charge of 50 pounds of powder gives it a penetration of 12 inches of wrought iron. The Atlanta, sister ship of the Boston, is having her ports strengthened and new gun circles put down like those that have stood tho strain so well on the Boston, and in two or three months she will be ready for service.

The Bichmond is fitting out for a cruise as flagship of the China Squadron, and tho Galena and Ossipee, of the North Atlantic Squadron, are undergoing repairs. On the Cob Dock may be seen many relics of antiquity in the Bhape of guns and ships, and more evidence of decay and general naval debility. Situated, aB it is, in the heart of a great city, with all the advantages of such position and where skilled labor can easily he obtained, the Brooklyn Yard shoul he firmly established and fully equipped, cleareu of rubbish and run on business principles with naval discipline. The true secret of the unfortunate condition of this Yard and of all the yards of this country is to be found in the political control that obtains in all cases. Each party while in power recognizes the value of the navy yards as political pension bureaus rallying grounds for voters, and fully utilizes them for that purpose.

This being the case the party out of power naturally resists the expenditures for improvements, on the score of political expediency, and the result is what we might expect there is no development and the nation suffers. Tho good of the Navy is the last thing considered: the lowest political interests are conserved. The local political boss has sometimes proved to be a oositive dictator, deciding who are to be employed and what positions they are to fill, and naval officers have sometimes been ordered away for refusing to yield to political pressure in the appointment or retention of employes. The master workmen are frequently political appointmentsand they in turn influence the selection of political workmen. They do not in most cases, or dare not, use authority over the workmen, who work lazily or loaf habitually as their own sweet will moves them.

Whilo there are manv faithful men employed in our yards it is an iinrlrnihtud fnct that there is a large nercentace AUCTION SAM3Si; A.

317 Broadway, N. Y. Savannah, Ga. ET THE EAGLE EVERY DAY IN UC WEEK. The Brooklyn Establishment the Best of All Unt a Scandal and Disgrace to the Country.

Ihe Ships and Other Things to bo Seen There Sarcastic Japanese Officers Will It Take Eight Years to Finish the Maine The Perennial and Serial Miantonomoh A Monitor Which is a Terror in More Than One Sense Comparisons With Other Marine PowersPolitical Patronage the Root of the Difficulty Criticisms of an Intelligent Observer. The Navy Yards of the United States when compared with those of most foreign powers iUk 5lay a poverty of modern appliances, a lack of all necessary facilities, a want of system iu the prosecution and supervision of work caused by political influence and a general tumble down condition as regards buildings, docks and Wharves. Our yards have not been developed with an intelligent regard for future requirements, but everything has been done merely with an eye to 'the present. Cheap and flimsy makeshifts have resulted from dribbling appropriations, that are talwayB most expensive in the end, since nothing permanent is secured by such a penurious policy. walk through any of our yards and conversa stion with the officer on duty reveals this unfortunate condition of affairs.

SeveralJapaneae officials who recently landed in San Francisco on their way to inspect the magnificent dock yards of Europe were interviewed by an innocent and guilelesB reporter, who, imbued with the idea that our new Navy, of which BO much has been said, is so powerful, asked the foreigners if they were going to inspect the Navy Yards of the United States and the ships now building with a view to adopting our methods and types for the Japanese Navy. It is said that this question was received with "shrieks of laughter," and the discomfited reporter, whose ideanwere circumscribed by the limits of his nativB town and the daily papers, was told that 'Zis oountree nafee no good: Japan will soon have 100 fighting ships better than those of the United States." It was unkind, very unkind, in the Japs to receive this question with "shrieks of laughter." poor men, how could they help it They new that our yards are destitute of nearly everything that yards should contain and that the Charleston, the most powerful of our new ships yet launched? was built upon the plans of their cruiser, the Naniwa Kan in other words, We had been adopting Japanese types for our Navy. What, then, could thoylearn in a country whose moat powerful Bhip waB a counterpart of one of their fleet Cruel though it was, we must forgive them for laughing, since to have controlled themselves under such circumstances would have required that beautiful command of facial expression for which the Egyptian Sphyux i alone remarkable. The Brooklyn Navy Yard, though tho best equipped of all, is not free from the state of dilapidation that pervades each one. The first proof of careless neglect is the largo area of several acre, "beyond the Marine Barracks on Hushing avenue, covered with scraps of irou, old bailers, rubbish of all kinds and overgrown with jweedfl.

That such a state of affairs should be 'permitted to exist is a disgrace to the country jthst allows it. If the Government is too penurious to putthiafiold in decent condition it should be given to the City of Brooklyn for a park or sold to private individuals, who could mako some use iof it. There ia great need of a good drill ground at the Navy Yard. Ships como in and lie for months at the dock and the receiving ship Vermont, with hundreds of men on board at times, lias no fit place to exercise the men. In foreign navies this instruction and drill on shore when sailors are in port is thought to be of great import nnce in its effects upon the tars, who must be far more military then in former days.

This aTea should be cleared of rubbish, graded and impi oved fqr this important part of naval education instruction. With the organization of a Nava I Heserve new barracks will be necessary at the rooklyn Yard and there will be still greater demand for a suitable drill ground. Such a Btato of affairs would not bo allowed to exist in any other country, since none iB so slow to utilize means the improvement of its naval establishment. When ship building facilities are considered, the comparative helplessness of our condition may be fully realized. In five of England's splendid dock yards, Chatham, Portsmouth, Sheernesn, Pembroke and Devonport, there are thirty five new hips in process of construction, all of which will be finished in a short time owing to their wonderful facilities and their skilled, well disciplined labor.

Everything has been built up with a view to permanency and durability and no money has been wasted on temporary expedients. In painful contrast, it is asserted that the Maine, the one ship now building at the Brooklyn Yard, will be six or eight years on the stocks before she will bo completed for her first cruise. The plant, tools, machinery and most of the material used in construction have all to bo supplied and the workmen must be educated, since there are few of them skilled in modern iron clad construction. The officers in charge of the work will push it as fast as possible, but the task before them is a stupendous one and with the facilities at hand and the inexperienced labor the delays will be long and frequent. There could be no better proof of the necessity for building the Maine at the Brooklyn Yard, for in no other way could the plant or the experience be obtained.

We must build a few shipB in the navy yards to develop their resources. As an illustration of tho tendency to make temporary instead of permanent and durable improvements in our yardB we have but to note the preparations for building the Maine. The buildings that have recently been built to contain the tools and machinery are mere wooden sheds built on foundations of timber laid in a ditch. A fire would Bweep tho whole away and destroy machinery and material.and the buildings vrith such a foundation will soon begin to tumble down and go to In a foreign establishment the whole would have been planned with an idea to completeness and durability in the future rather than with a mere careless regard for tho demands of the present moment. We may judge of the probable time that will be required to complete the Maine and of the general manner in which work progresses in the Navy by considering the case of the Miantonomoh, which now lies at the Brooklyn Yard.

This double turreted monitor was launched in 1883 and provision was made for fitting her with new turretB and heavy armor. The armor was delivered by an English firm in 1884. The work of preparing the ship for the turrets was begun and the report for 1884 aayB that the work is "well in hand." In 1885 the Bame statement is made the work is "well in hand." In 1886 full and complete appropriation was made for all the monitors, but the work has dragged along and the Miantonomoh' turrets have been rusting on the dock for four years with the work "well in hand." A crowd of workmen daily appear from the dark compartments of the vessel to await the stroke of the Navy Yard bell A few scattering blows have been struck during tho day and a deal of loafing, talking, sleeping and aimless wan dering about has been indulged in, and as a resn It of their expensive tinkering for four years soma little progress is visible, though none will bo so reckless as to predict that the Miantonomoh will bo ready for sea before 1890. In other wordu, it will have taken seven years to complete ft vesBcl of only 3,800 tons displacement which was launched in 1883 seven years to provide the in ternal fittings of a hull already constructed and to build and equip two modern turrets. How long, then, will it take to build the Maine of 6,000 tons displacement nearly twice tho size of the Hiantonomoh a large armored ship all of whose srmormustbe provided in this country? The Miantonomoh will be a monument to the peculiar duly dallying policy that has characterized the Government during the past twenty years.

Begun in 1873, launched iu 1883 and completed in 1 890, or a few years later) at a total cost of at least $1,800,000, we will have after a struggle of seventeen years an ironclad of third rate power. Any other nation would have finished the ship in four years fit lesB than two thirds the cost and had some service out of her for the remaining thirteen yearn. The monitor Terror, counterpart of the Miantonomoh, was begun and launched at the Bame time as the Is tter and has recently been sent to the Brooklyn Yard for completion.

of worthless men who do not yield five honest hours of labor for their daily wages. The officers cannot personally superintend all the work that is going on as there are not enough of them and their office duties take much of their time. The workmen will even defy an officer at times, or they will work when he appears and loaf when he is out of sight. Unnecessary expense and great delav in the prosecution of work is the invariable result. So disgusting is the state of affairs that there are manv who advocate the building of all ships for the Navy by private contract, arguing that it will cost less and be done better and quicker in private yards where men are employed more for their skill and faithfulness as workmen than for their votes.

For every fraudulent pensioner whom President Cleveland has exposed during his term of office it is probable that there are 100 worthless political pensioners annually cm ployed in our various yards at the rate of $2 or $: per day. Every navy yard in the United States should have all the facilities for building, docking and repairing ships it is necessary to the security of a great nation like this, and the financial condition of the country is Bnch that the expense can easily be borne. England has spent $9,000,000 in expanding and fitting one of her navy yards, and it iB an outrage that the scum of politics should provent all development in ours Not until our yards are absolutely divorced from this rule can we hope for a change from the present disgraceful state of affairs. If Civil Service Reform is a necessity in this country, navy yard reform is ten times more necessary. Corruption in the Civil Service may lead to extravagance and dishonesty in office, but the condition of things now existing in our navy yards, where political bosses rule, whore politics decide when and where a ship is to be repaired and by whom tho work is to he done, may lead to national disgrace, defeat and humiliation in tho event of war.

With audi a system we cannot compete with foreign powers. In the English yards politics have no play. It is strictly forbidden to take any account of politics in employing men, and the officials are required to provent the slightest intrusion of party rale. Men aro employed for their skill in ship building and when faithful they are employed continuously and pensioned like enlisted men after serving a term of years. A system of promotion is provided that gives advancement to industrious and skillful men.

The result is that the English yards are provided with a corps of trustworthy men who nave a personal interest and pride in their work and who yield an honest return for their daily wages. In our yards the system fosters a lot of political loafers whoso only interest is to make work drag along as much as possible, to make as much money out of the Government aB they can. In one case wo have the application of business principles; in the other case the utter absence of all business principles. In one case the people and the Government are faithfully served; in the other case they are defrauded by those who regard the Government as legitimate prey. In one case the Navy is strongly, quickly and economically built; in the other it is slowly, poorly and expensively built.

In one case the Navy iB regarded aB a bulwark of defense and everything is made to contribute to its efficiency: the other case the Navy is regarded as a political factor, and ships are ordered repaired and bnilt to accord with political exigencies. If, in the future, the two systems are brought to a tost by war between the United States and a foreign power, the result would bp disastrous to us. Onr people will see that war is a science, not a political game, and that a navy which is built up and governedon honest business and military principles will whip a navy built by political bosses and governed by the dictates of party politics. Powers that are potent in politics will be found wanting in war. The Bystem in vogue in England is not inconsistent with republican institutions, but it is simply characterized by common sense and honesty.

If applied to this country such a system would conduce to economy and would go far toward making the Navy of use in time or war. Each political party would yield support to necessary improvements in the navy yards, without fear of contributing to the political advantage of the other. The navy yards would be regarded as national workshops that onght to he developed, Bhips would be built quicker and cheaper, many more mechanics would find steady employment. The workingman would gain and the Navy would be more efficient with the officers unhampered by the demandB of political bossism. The principle governing tho employment and the suspension of labor in our navy yards is therefore rotten to the core, and naval officers aro powerless or heavily handicapped.

All are willing to recognize that the military must be subordinate to the civil power in this country, but the question is whether both the civil and military power ehould be subordinate to the lowest of political bosses and their followers. Such has been the condition for years in our navy yards, auch is largely the condition to day, and to jeny the statement is to deceive the people and condone a fraud. In most countries the navy exists for purposes of defense in war, and is kept always ready for active service. There is a tendency in this r.rmntrv to nrostitute the naval service in the interest of party rule, and as a result the Navy of the United States has not been for twenty years and is not to day in a condition of readiness for war as regards material or ships.
