What a Naval Officer Says of the De- fenseless Condition of the Country. “I see that some of the Senators are bold enough to take the stand that this country should pro- tect itself In the raatter of the fisheries troubles,” sald a naval ofMicer to-day to a Stak reporter, ‘That might mean war,” he continued, “and I don’t delieve that one of them realizes what would bethe Tesult of a war with Great Britain in the present unprotected condition of the country. With no de- fenses, no navy, and but a small army that would ve utterly powerless, we would be at the mercy ofanenemy not half so powerful as England Just imagine, a declaration of war. A British squadron could come up the Potomac as far as Alexandria and blow everything in sight to per- dition. The gentlemen at the capital would be among the first to make a move westward. The big vessels conta ae ‘up higher than Alexandria on account of the. Dar re, but that would be plenty far enough, A milion men along the anks of the Potoinac could not prevent the com- plete destruction of Washington, and other cities could be treated in the same way.” “Why not torpedoes?” asked Tae Stak man. “There never was a greater fallacy than the be- Hef that terpenes would protect us. Defensive torpedo wartare keeps pace with offensive torpedo wartare, just in the protection of war —_vessels.—skeeps ace with the improvement in guns. ft torpedoes are sunk devices are invented for thelr removal. As we stand now we haven't the protected ships, the improved guns or the torpe- does. Congress must do something for our defense or never think of maintaining a belligerent stand with any success, The navy as it is now consti- tuted might as well be abolished. The only remedy 1s to remove the army and navy entirely from poiltics, Until both republicans and democrats realize that the military must be neutral and po- Utical considerations must not enter in any way into the compostiion of the army or navy there will be no future for elther.” ————e._____ ‘The Rejection of Matthews. ‘TONE OF THE SPEECHES PRECEDING THE VOTE INTHE ‘SENATR YESTERDAY. ‘The Senate in secret session yesterday after- noon again rejecfed the nomination of J, C. Mat- thews for recorder of deeds of this District by a Vote of 17 yeas to 31 nays. The affirmative vote was made up of thirteen democrats and four re- publicans. The four republicans who voted for Matthews were Messrs, Platt, Blair, Farwell and Mitchell, of Oregon. The principal speech against Matthews was made by Senator Ingalls, chatr- man of the District committee. He called Mat- thews an “Albany rounder,” and accused the President of pettifogging io is written appeal in Debalf of Matthews.’ Mr. Ingalls sald the appoint- ment was a direct violation of the pledge of the democratic party to maintain home-rule in the District and the territortes. It was absurd, in his opinion, to sug that there was not a man ‘in the District competent and qualified toll the office. Senator Blackburn, Who reported the nomination from the committee and Senator Saulsbury also Spoke against confirmation, basing thelr opposi- ton upon the ground that a citizen of the Derict should fill the office. Inthe Senate Mr. Hoar hasoffered a resolution declaring “that after the Senate has refused its advice and consent to the appointment of any rson to an ofice, it 1s contrary to the spirit-and went of the constitution to designate to some petson to perform the duties of the same office immediately thereatter.” It 1s understood that this resolution was intended to apply to the Mat- thews case and that Its principal ooject 18 to pre- Vent, if possible, the reappointment of Mattnews, after the adjournment of Cougress. WILL THE NAME BE SENT IN AGAIN, ‘The rejection of Mr. Matthews was a foregone conclusion, as has been stated in Tue Star. The opposition to his holding the office of recorder of deeds was determined and aggressive and was made up of Senators of both political parties, Sen- tor Vest 1s understood to be tue Only dermecrate Senator who changed his vote to Matthews’ side, but he got four additional republican votes There “has been a rumor. about the Capitol for several days that the Presi: dent would reappoint.

Parliament Reopens Without Excitement, The Queen’s Speech Unusually Vague. THE GREAT STRIKE IN NEW YORK TRYING TO CRUSH OUT THE KNIGHTS Only Seven Votes for Abbett To-day. ee THE DEFEAT OF GOSCHEN. It Benders a Dissolution of Parliament ‘Special Cable Dispatch to Tar Evestxo Star Loxpox, Jan. 27.—Goschen’s deteat in Liverpool had been regarded by the Gladstonians as alto gether too good to hope for. The news was re- ceived atthe different liberal headquarters last night with the wildest enthusiasm. Neveilie’s electéon has done almost as much as ageneral elec- ton could to cleare the political atmosphere. Goschen’s private secretary and personal friend telegraphs me the following explanation this morning: “The simply enormous Irish vole was never before so well worked and polled, conskier- ing the nature of the constituency, most of which 4s a poor district, with a migratory seafaring popu- lation, The poll was very heavy, There is litte doubt the result could be reversed on a petition claiming the seat with a scrutiny of votes.” Curiously enough, Gladstone, who is quite well again, was dining at Brook's club, Goschen's own club, When the news reached him. One important effect of Goschen’s defeat Will be Co make the gov- ernment more chary of dissolving parliament. If they had carried Liverpool by a sweeping majority it Would have contirned tie belict in the essenti- ally conservative sentiment of thecountry, and every occasion they Would have held the threat af dissolution over the recalcitrant malcontents.
