Fenimore Cooper. in the closing paragraph of his history of the navy makes a statement that is applicable to this day. He wrote in 18! In closing ke states that the historian of the American navy du the year 1900 will have a task before bim very different to his own. Little did he dream that within twenty years the fag of the Union woukl wave over 500 ships of war. ‘This was the case in 1855. At that period we were strong and respected by all nations. From time to time efforts were made to keep up a navy suit- able to the dignity of # great nation: this was defeated. Siew in Congress said that there would be no more war. One Senator made the very remarkable statement, “that the moral effect of a mighty nation of 60,000,000 in perfect har- mony would deter any other nation from mo- Testing it. Also that if a raft with the Ameri- an flag were sent adrift on_the ocean all the world would respect it.” This is a good time to test that policy. Here we have Chile with —“Lost in New York.” -Wm. Muldoon’s ination. xpnra.—Coneert of = Star only 3,000,000 inhabitants, and so far from re- the this specting suid raft and flag they treat it utmost contempt. ‘The only way to hav Taft respected would be to have bebin steel-clad battie ships. If immediately after the Baltimore insult to our flag we could have seni fifteen ships of the Baltimore class aud six Battle ships to the harbor of Vaiparaiso and de- manded an apology it would have been en with commendable promptness. his line of action would have been taken by either England or France if their flag had been so grossly insulted as was the American stan- dard by the mob in Chile. In an interview pub- lished in today’s Stax Senators Kyle and Pefler make statements in regard to the controversy with Chile that are apt to mislead. ‘The former says “that it would be a national disgrace to go to war with a nation so much smaller than our own; in fact, it would be eriminally ludicrous.” In answer to this I would state that if this were established asa precedent then any country smaller than our own would feel at liberty at any time to kili and maim our naval repre- sentatives or our citizens who might happen to ‘visit their shores, and if we were to ask for an they could plead the “baby ac:” as ir defense. This view would not be tolerated by any other country on the face of the globe. If dignitied Senators duly declare that the wan- ton siaughter of sailors on its men-of-war is too small 4 matter to be noticed, much less to go to war for, the sooner this new doctrine is pro- claumed the better. Ihen those who may go abroad can duly place themselves under the Protection of the Enzlish government, which Bever has allowed an insult toany of its citi- Zens to go anpunished. Tdocbe very much if the Chilean government will offer any sort of an apology that will be ac- ceptable to the President and lus cabinet. The mass of the people of that country belicve that they are fully able to hold their own against the United Stites. In fact it is a well-known » boast that they think that one Chilean is equal to any ten Tankees. The only way to convince ‘them of this error is the stern logic of battle. If war follows the present controversy we will no doubt, several hundred million doliare and sacrifice thousands of brave lives. Irorie-tenth of this sum had been spent ten Years agoin building upa proper navy the resent war topic would not bave come up. Tie late Gen. Grant and Admiral Porter re- peatedly stated that the only way to prevent War was to be so thoroughly prepared for it that no nation would dare attack us. January 20.

The Subject Discussed by Prof. Mendenhall Before the Philosophical Society. About two hundred people gathered in the lecture hal! of the Columbian University last evening to hear the annual address of the re- tiring president of the Philosophical Society, Prof. T. C. Mendenhall of the coast survey. The topie of his papcr, the delivery of which occupied about half an honr, was “The Uncer- tainty of Conclusions.” The speaker was in- troduced by Prof. G. K. Gilbert. Prof. Mendenhali opened his diseourge by citing an interesting ease of judicial conviction ona charge of murder on circumstantial evi- dence, the conclusions of which were afterward proven to be wholly false through a confession by the real murderer. The reasoning of the prosecuting witnesses, he said, the charge of the judge and the findingsof the jury had been mply justified by the facts in the case—an ctual one of recent happening in the west— and there had been no fault in their logic, yet the conclusions had been entirely insufficient owing to the law of the uncertainty of con- clusions. He spoke of the exact sciences as those whose conelusions are eapable of being verified by experiment and went on to a discriminating re- view of them, placing mathemat as the one science of precision. omy, he alleged, was at fault in some of its conclusions, an instance being noted of a long series of experiments that were conducted im | this city some months ago for the purpose of | determining the accurate steliar parallax, No time or pains were spared to make the results satisfactory, and yet uiter the calculations had been made the final determination was a nega- tive that could only be accounted f@ by some sort of a curvature in space that would cause an looking straight forward to see the back of hisowa head. A more recent fact has been . however, that affords a reasonable tion of the absurdity and the data so view of the sciences Prof. Menden- hall spoke of meteorology and alluded in a leasant manner to the “cloud compeliizg the He paid some norous attention to the formation of a new industry and alluded wittily to the organiza- e west of the “Interstate Artificial Rain Company, lizaited.” In his discussion of the character of the anti-drought propaganda he remarked that it wasa noteworthy fact that most of the p ctors who had allied uselves to the movement were designated volessors, who did not adhere so closely to their lines of science that they found it incon- sistent with their professional attainments to do the county sprinkling at 60 much per acre. The prospects, he said, are that the business will be overdone. é Ile utilized this instence of a popular misap- prehension of the ends and aimsof pure science 28a reason why there should bea better ac- quaintance between the intelligent public and the real scientific workers of the day, that the former might know the vast amount of real | inquiry into the secret of nature that is being conducted, and thus be less liable to the impo- sitions of charletans. “ In his concluding remarks he said that the main difliculty in logical thought is that people | donot sufliciently realize that there may be | another way of explaining events than that which they adopt. This fault he alleged to be at the bottom of most cases of conviction on circumstantial evidence, and he spoke of the presence in the world of « large class of people Who do not want to be disturbed, but who plant themselves in one position, where they insist the truth must lie, and do not advance to another position until actually forced to do so. They do not realize that the truth may be both here and there at the same time. DEMOCRATIC CLUBS. } | When the Meeting of the General Committee Will Be Callea At the meeting of the executive committee of the national association of democratic clubs yesterday it was decided to call the meeting of the general committee for the same time and place as the national convention, thus follow- ing the lead of the republican league. A com- mittee of three on finance was appointed and these gentlemen will raise the fands to push the work of organization and the dissemina- tion of demoeratié literature and oratory dur- ing the campaign. Mr. C.F. Black, Mr. H. W. Rusk and Mr. George Lambert were designated as a delega- tion to confer with the chairman of the tional committee, Senator Brice, and cement a thorough understanding between the na- | tional committee and the association of clubs. ‘The as#ocintion will soon issue an address to the country and the preparation of this docu- | ment was intrusted to the president, chairman | and seeretary of the executive committee. An excursion to Monticello on Jefferson's birth- day, April 12, was agreed upon and a commit. tee of arrangements, who will select a promi nent orator for the’ occasion, was appointed. An important project, which’ met with great favor, is the establishment of a bureau for the distribution of documents in Washington. ‘This tract crusade has been carried on from the secretary's oilice, but the bureau which will be started is to’ prosecute the work on a big scale. ————— AMUSEMENTS.

Capt. Rossell has forwarded to the Commis- sioners a draft of a bill drawn by Capt. Lusk of the water department for transmission to Con- Sress to punish attempts to defraud the Dis- trict revenues of water furnished through meters. The only penalty that can now be enforced is cutting off the water supply, which is dangerons to health. The water do- partment, says Capt. Rossell, is self sustafning, with exceedingly low water rates, and in order to continue this satisfactory state of affaire it is important that the department should have all that it is entitled to. The bili provides that any person who, with intent to injure or defraud the District of Co- lumbia, by the use of any pipe, tube, or con- trivance for conducting the supply of Potomac water in such a manner as to pass or carry the water, or any portion thereof, around or with- out passing through the meter, shail be guilty of amisdemeanor, and upon couviction be pun- ished by imprisonment not exceeding six month or by fine not exceeding $250. apes ALEXANDRIA, ALEXANDRIA WINTER SPORT.
