Show 1 Europe's Naval Scare. The naval scare naval panic it is now I called does not abate in England. The Times and ether Tory newspapers thunder thun-der daily their warnings that the British BPTtrpmacv of the seas is in imminent danger. It is a rather popular cry, and the Liberal part y is offsetting it by equally equal-ly vehement declarations that the navy shall be maintained on a basis distinctly superior to the combined fleets of Russia and France. There is little doubt that the government will provide for a big naval expenditure in the next budget, including the provision for several most powerful new vessels. The budget, by the way, will call for a 6harp increase in taxation, which is another reason for a tempting appeal to the country before the burden is felt. New York Sun's London Letter. |
