There are now 270 vessels In commission In the United States navy where at one time, in Washingtons administration, there was not one. Of these there are 13 battleships of the first and second class, carrying guns Into whose mouth thla countrys first and only commander-ln-chle- f ot the navy," Esek riopklna, might easily have bidden hla disgraced head when an outraged continental congress summarily dismissed him.

History of American Navy. ( The flrat appropriation made for a navy for thla country waa that of the continental congress In 1775, and the urn of $100,000 waa expected to purchase, equip and generally outfit 13 bipa. For the present year, ending July, 4908, the navy will have needed $125 041 899, an Increase of $5,000,000 ovsi list year. Nine million alone go fur ordnance store. The last appropriation of congress for the building of ships waa $20,000,000 to be expended on two big ships, each or which Is to measure 610 feet In length, 85 feet beam, and make 21 knots an hour. Three million dollar! was appropriated for submarines of the Holland type, and In September five torpedo boat destroyers were contracted for. Think of this In comparison with the departure to-da- y $100,000 that cost the continental congress ao much thought, and which was furnished by. the people of the colonies after ao much privation. If we are to have a commerce we much have a navy to defend It." wrote Col. Humphrey from the Barbary States In 1793 after he had been sent to see It there were means of stopping the piracy of Algiers and Tripoli on American trading vessels. For yars the nation had endured the humiliation of paying tribute to these countries, and after Waahlngton had Incorporated thla sentiment in bli message of 1794 the Unltod States still paid tribute, because there was no gavy to prove her Independence. How ever, that congress appropriated $700,-00- 0 with which to build six frigates. Among these were the Constitution, now the oldest ship afloat under any flag, and a training ship for apprentices at Portsmouth. With this fleet and Its later auxiliaries Decatur taught the rulers of Algiers and Tripoli a stern lesson, and America soon took her place among the naval powers ot the world, a place which none disputed after her victories over Great Britain In Quick Work of Preparation. The president issued the orders for the sailing of thla fleet on August 23, and since then coal mines, railways, provision dealers, and manufacturers of heavy ordnance and ammunition have known the busiest season they have had since the Spanish-Americawar. Altogether 35 vessels go to San Francisco, and when all have assembled in the waters off the coast of California, Fighting Bob" Evans will have under hla command the largest, moat invincible, the moat perfectly equipped fleet that has ever mobilized In one place since the history of the world began. The aggregate displacement of the vessels sailing, la nearly 42,000 tons, and the aggregate power la 664 guns of four Inch calibre and over. The four divisions of this fleet will carry 681 officers and 11,600 enlisted men, aa fine an array of Jackies as any navy has ever known, and an earnest and eager set, too, for as soon as the news of the cruise was noised abroad enlistments Increased rapidly throughout the navy and desertions became practically unknown The moaern wife who puzzles for days over the packing of her grips and lunch basket when he Is off for a weeks hunting trip)1 can never begin to appreciate the enormity of Columbia task In fitting out her 11,600 sons for an outing of 115 daya, in which they are not ex-- i pected to set foot on land at alL a all the stores that each ship can carry when her capacity Is taxed to lta fullest, there will be two ships that carry supplies alone, the Glacier nd Culgoa. and they will carry novel foodstuff that have nevermany yet been carried by any navy of the world.
