GERMANY'S NAVAL BILL 15 READ | break the blockade or pass through in the Reichstag. SR PROMINENT MEN PRESENT ADMIRAL TIRPITZ SPEAKS roxg THE MEASURE. BERLIN, Feb. 8.—The first reading of the naval bill took place in the Reifchs- was therefore necessary to adopt the principle of providing for the most dan- gerous opponent. The most dangerous war for Germany to be in would be one in which her army could not be used at the outset. In such a war Germany would require solely a strong fleet. On the German coasts Germany's fleet of cruisers would not suffice in such a war, in view of her geographical situation, to the hostile straits. ‘“‘Are we to sink our prizes,” the admiral continued, “or man them without crews? ‘Where is our fleet to get coal during this time? What would be happening to our coast? If, however, Germany developed the fleet her battleships would have to be sent to the bottom by an enemy beforc a blockade, or even an attack on her coast, would be possible. During a war it weuld be difficult to protect our merchantmen on the high seas. Therefore such a war must be altogether prevented by a strong flieet. The provisions of the bill coincide with the statement of the Government in pr senting the budget. It increases the e fectiveness of the navy and ships are kept in commission. The concluding paragraph becomes purposeless, but for ~technlcal reasons it could not be eliminated. Our tag to-day. The house and the gallerfes | were crowded.

But the reasons for increasing the navy could be summed up in a few words. The discrepancy between Germany's naval power and that of other | countries was so great that the Federal Government saw therein a distinct dan- d to continue. Indeed the ed all the greater, as the petition of the world, ac- rding to all calculations, would become navies.

The creation of navies, the Secretary of the Admiraity continued, not only pre- sents difficulties of a financial order, but above all is a question of material. Ships and thelr crews, squadrons and their com- manders cannot be conjured up with a stamp of the foot, but with the accom- ng dockyards and harbor works ry thereto, they need long prepa- He recenfly had the opportunity ration to point out to the House that Germany cannot know what adversary she may me day have to deal with, and that it ADVERTISEMENTS.

REMAINS OF LAWTON IN STATE AT WASHINGTON Long Journey of the Funeral Train Across the Sea and the Land Is Finally Ended. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The train bear- ing the remains of Major General Henry W. Lawton completed its trip across the continent at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Adjutant General Corbin met the party at the depot, and Troop H, Third Cavalry, from Fort Meyer, acted as escort to the Church of the Covenant. Carriages were waliting for those who accompanied the dead general, and they left the station before the remains were removed from the train. Mrs. Lawton, her son Manley and her daughters were the first to enter the carriages. Mrs. Armstrong, widow of Major Armstrong, s ains are to be interred at Ar- lvlvv'x‘gz'fn,"g‘uuwed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The -adjutant general received a telegram from Colonel Gillesple, Corps of Engineers, at New York, saying that Colonel W. H. Ben- vaurd died there yesterday afternoon.

Over 3,000,000 cases of canned fruit and vegetables were packed in 1809. The raisin crop was short, but as a re- ult of the growers’ association the prices were good. The growing of citrus fruit has been extensively engaged in, Cali- fornia now standing second only to Florida as a producer.

Adulteration should be prohibited by strict legislation. An interesting review of the beet-sugar industry by Claus Spreckels was Icor- porated in the report. Seven hundred thou- sand acres of land in California is suit- able for sugar-beet culture. The condi- tions here are more favorable than else- where in the United States, the beets | richer in saccharine, and beet-growing is | rapidly developing and improving the State. Hops grow to a higher perfection and are freer from disease than elsewhere. In California there has never been a crop failure, and here is grown about one-third | of the amount consumed in the United States. Prices are low at present and fur- | ther pianting is discouraged. About 2,000, 000 pounds of honey are produced per an- | num. The blossoms, flowers, sage and clov- | ers make as good honey as is grown in the world. California horses are famous all over the world, and from them is derived a large revenue by sales in the Eastern States and in Europe. Only good-sized, ood-dispositioned animals should be bred. i‘he breeding of a high class of road horses is advised, and farmers are urged to breed for some special purpose, and aim to produce some sgeclnl tyge. Horse- men should look to the islands and the Orient for a good market. The cattle supply is now short, but un- | der conditions found here can be rapidly made up.
