In land Operations the United States has England, the nearest military Power of the first rate, at its mercy. In military operations of defense or offense, on land, no power possesses advantage over the -United States. But on water a different story is to be told.

These Powers have great fleets of floating forts. In the case of England we might overrun the narrow strip of populated country Which she has on our border, but tier fleets would be working havoc in our rich seaboard cities. In war with any other Power our tactics would of necessity be altogether defensive, and with all the odds on the enemy's side. The United States can talk diplomatically; it can tali smoothly; it can appeal to the sense of right of other Powers, throw itself upon their appreciation and definition of international equities-. But with these, which should be always employed, its resources are exhausted.

LYON Be Dies at the Age of Ninety-three, After Baying Seen Chicago Grow from a Trading Post to One of the Greatest Cities in AmericaInteresting Incidents In Ells Early LifeBis Business Career and Quiet Life in Retirement. Abram Gale, one of tbe earliest settlers of Chicago, died Thursday night at his residence In Oak Park. Mr.

Gale was 93 years of age. Ile was born in Warwick, Aug. 24, 1796. lie served valiantly during tne war of 1312, for wriich, at the time of his death, he still received a pension. In 1t22, Mr.

Gale, having acquired military prochvities from his service of previous years, joined the Independent Fusileers of Boston, where he was thou living, and helped to escort Gen. Lafayette into the city. He took part in the laying of the Bunker Hill monument in 1325. There he beard Daniel Webater deliver his famous oration. While living In Boston he was married to Sarah Sllloway.

Remaining there a few years he moved to New York, and in the latter part of April, 1335, he started for Chicago via the lakes, reaching here, after a voyage of three weeks, on May 20. For a while he lived at the old Green Tree tavern. "I brought all my household goods along," he said recently, and among them was a Chickering piano, the second -one ever made. It was tue first and only one in the village for a good many years, and it was a great card for me. The Indians would walk around the house mysteriously whenever my daughter played on It.

staring in wonderment at the strange sounds. There- were not many stores here thou; there was one grocery and a ready made clothing establisiament. One Sunday morning in 1335 I saw nine sailboats anchored out in the lake. The river was too fall of sandbars to allow vessels to land at its mouth- That was a great fleet for Chicago, and enthusiasm ran high- When I. came I was installed at once as a member of tile fire company.

Every man was armed with two buckets, and we would all stand in a line, with one end of the line at the lake and the other at the lire, and we would pass the buckets along." Mr. Gale opened a meat market, the first in tile town. and his wife soon afterwards started the first millinery store. In 1332 Mrs. Gale died and since then Mr.

Gale had heed hying with his son, E. 0. Gale, of Gale Blocki. For several years he had been totally blind. Mr.

Gale was in many ways a remarkable man. He possessed a wonderful constitution until within a few years he had never experienced a day's illness. His mind was no less vigorousbe had an extraordinary memory, and his recollection teemed with a vast amount of interesting personal history. He could recite, to the last day. poems, songs, speeches, psalms, without number.

He was gifted with the warmest sympathies, a sunny disposition and genial presence, and always exerted an unusual influence for the good and true. As a Universalist he founded the first society of that denomination in Chicago, and was an officer of the church at the time of his death. Mr. Gale never held public officenever wanted tobut always took an active interest in politics and all quesuous involving good government and the public welfare. He voted for William Henry Harrison in IS-10 and again for Benjamin Harrison in INNS.

Three generations of Gales marced to the polls and voted at the same time on this Occasion. At the last old settlers' reception at the Calumet Club Mr. Gale was the oldest settler present and the but one in years. It is probable that he was Me oldest Living settler of this city.

Blaine in the State Department, the Foreign Policy Will Be Distinctly icsaeveseuxeros, D. April 5.Specialal alistorians will mark the election of Benjamin Harrison to the Presidency and the appointment of James Gr. Blaine to the of State as the beginning ot an e.aaeh. In domestic affairs this Administration is not likely to indulge in new departaeb: the field Of its greatest energy and accomplishment will be found beyond our coasts. The Harrison Government has a foreign g-olicy full of vigor and assertiveness policy which I am at liberty to describe, authoritatively and fully, as to the principles involved.

During the next four years intertational developments, in so far as controlled or influenced by this Government, will be foand within the lines here laid down. Itis the desire of all the people that this onuetry reassert herself upon the seas. It is the natural and universal aspiration of Americans to see their flag everywhere fitting and their countrymen everywhere securing a fair share or tne svorld's commerce. If there is any field of National activity calling forth the best brains and energies of the American people, and worthy their patriotism and genius, it is this. But there is no use teeeng.

A great problem cannot be solved in lithe ways. Mall-carrying subsidies, even tonnage bounties, and an other proposed governmental aids to American maritime enterprise are worse than useless, because they serve only to obscure the main question. Lett years ago, when Mr. Blaine was Secretary of State under President Garfield, the tnited States invited the nations of the Western Hemisphere to send representatives to a Western International Congress to be held in the City of Washington. seventeen nations notified this Government of their ac eeptance Of the invitation, but the Congress never convened, because Secretary not favoring the plan.

contrived to have the itvitations withdrawn. Last May Congress again passed a joint resolution invIteag Western nations to convene here and sepropriatmg funds for the entertainment of their representatives. Only four or five nations nave accepted this second invitation, 'sad the failure of the remaining Governments to respond is accounted for by two facts: 1. They have not as yet forgiven the insult clered them by Prelinghuysen in withdraw-Mg the former invitation after their acceptance of it. 2.

They have eagerly watched the diplomacy of the United States Government, anct reit understand tee position occupied by this Nation in the estimation of the European Powers. Hence they have been 'saying to themselves: "Suppose we do form an offensive and defensive alliance with the United States, make a commercial treaty of reciprocity, and cultivate a general sympathetic relationship betweea the nations of the Western Continent. with the United States at the head? Then suppose one of the minor Powers of this alliance, one of the weaker sisters, beconies involved in a difficulty with one of the European Powers i What will the United States dol Will it defend this little Republic that is not big enough to ght its own battles? And if the United States be willing to do this, where are her guns, her ships? if a small State of South America or Central 'America, a member of the proposed alliance, should be outrageously treated by one of the European Powers, could the United States do more than enter her diplomatic protest?" WHERE THIS NATION IS WEAK. This illustration, taken from the pages of current bistory, conclusively shows wherein the United States is weak. It has no power On the high seas.

It has little or nothing with which to back up its pretensions and demanos, to repel the pretensions and cieniands of other nations.

with whom all other Western nations will seek friendly political and commercial relations. IMPORTANCE OF THE vICAELAGUA CANAL. Nor is this all. There is the Nicaragua Canal, sure to be soon constructed. That canal is of greater importance to this country than most men dream of.

In the new lifethe virile eraof the United States this canal is to play an importantpart. Through it the commerce of the world will flow trom Orient to Occident. It will be the favorite route from Europe to Australia and Asia. Off there in Australasia a new empire is rising. A map of tne Pacific will show Samoa to be half way between San Francisco and Melbourne.

It is, too, half way between San Juan del Sur, the Pacific( port of the Nicaragua Canal, and Australia and Asia. Already we nave a coaling station there, sharing with other nations that which should be entirely ours. Where there are partners there are jealousies. troubles, and dangers. This island is of more importance to us than to any other nation.

For others it is a mere stopping station, while for us it is a half-way house. Possession of Samoa by the United States is likely to become one of the international questions of the near future. But greater than all is the Nicaragua Canal. There lies the Gibraltar of this continent. England maintains coaling stations in all parts of the world.

She cannot reasonably object to our control of Samoa. At Gibraltar she holds the key to the Mediterranean and at Suez the gateway to the East. If she raises her voice agaania our control of Nicaragua, the gateway of our continent, she must raise it in vain. This Government must do more than charter the company that constructs the Nicaragua Canal. In a few years probably the company that has undertaken that work will come to the Government asking the guarantee of its bonds.

Nobody intagines the company will be able to complete, the canal without direct Government assistance. At this juncture the United States Must reserve the right to take possession of the canal at any moment in wnich such possession may be required by the interests of the Nation. A SOURCE OF GREAT POWER. See what a source of power that canal will be to the United States. It is of more importance to us than the fisheries, more important than Suez.

We can make it an open canal in peace, a closed canal in war. Through it the ships of the American 'navy can quickly pass from ocean to ocean: while the ships of the enemy must round Cape Horn or go through Suez. Make the Atlantic and Pacific ports, Greytown aid San Jitia del Bur, impregnable. A few miles to the interior the canal passes through Lake Ntearagua, a body of deep water more than 100 miles long and 30 miles wide. Here American merchantmen of both oceans can find a harbor of refuge from the cruisers of the enemy.

Here the American navy can rendezvous, repair, outfit. Thence will proceed to the east and west toward Australia. China, Japan, India, the Western and Eastern South American coasts, to Chili, Brazil, Argentine, as well as to the West Mexican and Central American powel- which' 'act mates the traffic pathway of commerce in two oceans and between two continents. Add to this wonderful safe harbor and arsenal Hayti, with its splendid Port Prince, and Samoa, with Its harbor at Pango Pango, and the chain is complete. Trouble with England and other European nations in carrying out these ambitit is designs Yes, if we have no power.

Without power they all were dreams. But with a fleet to back up our diplomacy. whose rock will be the Monroe doctrine, Samoa, Hayti, or Cuba, and above ad this American Gibraltar, may be ours without the firing of a gun. The maritime energy of Great Britain is like a ring. Everything begins and ends in the magnet of power.

If the United States has no power it must get it, and that as speedily as possible. -Nicaragua Canal may in the end cost this Government $100,000,000. What is a hundred millions set against the incomparable advantages to be gained! The tolls of Suez are twenty millions a year, with a profit of six millions above all charges, fixed and operating. Via Nicaragua the terrible voyage of nearly 2,000 miles through the Red Sea, between two tropic deserts, will be avoided. The probabilities are that Niceraguals tolls will exceed those of Suez, but even without commercial success it is worth having at any cost.

What if fifty fighting ships of the first-class cost a million and a half of dollars apiece, or in all Tobacco will foot the bill, and leave Congress less pretense for quarrel. bag over the Treasury surplus. It is unnecessary to add that the Harrison Administration, entertaining and expressing these views, with great National projects like these more or less definitely in needlessly waste no time in setting to work. First consideration of all is the new navy, and it is the policy of the President to double the appropriations ana to stir anew the activities of American shipyards, gun foundries, inventors, designers, and constructors. With scores of warships slipping one after another into the water it is hoped and believed that American merchant shipbuilding and American maritime enterprise will be so much encouraged and stimulated as ultimately ta regain for this country its lost supremacy in ocean commerce.

It can be built right here, with our own men and materials, in our own shipyards. The Delaware can be made a greater shipbuilding river than the Clyde, having better facilities in near supplies of coal, steel, iron, and timber. Already we are making the best guns in the world. YearAifter year our inventors and constructors astonish the nations with their devices, adaptations, and combinations. We build an ironclad.

The seas teem with But while the foreigners are going to me extreme of size and apparent invulnerability in their massive floating fortresses of steel and iron, which must fire broadsides to be effective, and which rise like a house out of the water, thus presenting huge targets for the enemy's fire, American naval constructors are swinging back toward the type which with its first victories in Hampton toads marked the beginning of the metal era. The American lighting ship of the present and future is to be a low-lying, small, but impregnable gun-carriage, fighting bow on, machinery below water, with torpedo and dynamite auxiliaries. In the light of the genius of the moment the foreign fleets of the present are overrated. At the speed this country is now going they will soon become ancient' and ineffective.

With fifty shins of our best class the United States could carve on her diplomacy with the Powers of the earth as an equal, not as a suppliant. HOW TO GET TIM MOSEY. But the building of a great navy requires money. Where is the money coming fromI Two words will answerwhisky, tobacco. Let the whisky and tobacco taxes alone.

The United States can talk, but in the end it must take what others are willing to yield. The United States has a tongue, but no hands. THE NEED OF A FIGHTING FLEET.

in every new view taken of the situation the stronger appears the need of a fighting fleet to back up our diplomacy, of guns to speak when our Ambassadors have spoken in vain. England's commerce has followed her fleet all over the globe. When Rome's galleys mastered tne Mediterranean Rome ruled the world. Had Spain or Germany maintained her naval supremacy on the hign seas, Spain or Germany would nave retained first place in tne world's commerce. England's fleet of wooden walls" aominated the ocean, and then, and then only, was tile English mercnantman's flag seen in every port.

What England has done the United States may do. If we had had a half dozen fighting ships at Valparaiso the ambitious Chilians would not have talked of Pombaraing San Francisco and of levying a tribute of 100,000,000 on toe inhabitants. Hed we had a great fleet at Samoa there would never have been the slightest aoubt of the outcome of the negotiations concerning the difficulties there. In China and Japan Americans have been largely crowded out of trade by the merchants from Europe. simply because the Japanese and Chinese have so much contempt or the naval power of the United States.

If we had a powerful fleet at Mare Island we should have a better standing, diplomatic and mercantile, on the Asiatic coast. By some the acquisition of Cuba is thougnt necessary for the adequate protection of American interests. Once before when we talked of buying that island Spain pretended to feel insulted. The Spaniards said it was presumptuous in a fourth-rate maritime Power to set envious eyes on its neighbor's territory. But if we had a great fleet, and this talk of buying Cuba should be revived, as it is likely to be, the Spanish Ministry, instead of talking of 11F0 70 60.

The Preeent htetos of the Hustle. "It may not be a matter of much moment, but it is a fact," says the Baltimore Sun, "that, while Mrs. Harrison herself wears a generous sized bustle, Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Russell Harrison are following the tide of fashion and wear little, if any.

Mrs. Blaine still clings to the loved possession of the same wind. while Miss Maine, whose street dresses are stamped with all the quiet elegance of Continental good style, is not hampered by either a bustle or reeds in her dress." The Model A wit belonging to the skating club has declared that in order to be a deservedly acknowledged belle patineuse a lady should be gifted with the thirty followmg good poinu: "She should have three things white. the skin, teeth, and bands; three black, eyes, eyelaahes, and eyebrows; three rosy. the lips, the cheeks, and the fingernails; three long.

the waist, hair, and bands; three short, teeth, ears, an tongue; three broad, forehead, shoulders, and intelligence; three small. waist, mouth, and instep; three finely formed, the nose, head, and feet: three artistically shaped, fingers, upper lip, and chin; three beautifully developed. arms. the limbs, and the dowry."

L. Butler of the Wayt Dental Company has a white mocking bird that is remarkable not only for its rarity but for the fact that it succeeded in killing a half-grown rat which entered its cage Sunday afternoon. The rat evidently intended to make a supper of the bird, but the latter knew a thing or two itself, and. pouncing upon the bold intruder, pecked its eyes out. Having it at this disadvantage the bird peeked it to death, and when the doctor returned soon after the dead rat was found on the floor of the cage.

It is in this matter of the army that we possess an immense advantage over England, France, Germany, Russia. They must watoh each other on the land. Invisible lines or narrow channels separate their territory. Imagine the military power of one of these nations fallen into the -state of comparative ineffectHayti iveness which is that of our present navy. What chance would its Ambassadors have in the diplomatic field! How long before the map of Europe would be changed the loss falling upon the negligent country and all the gain accruing to tile nation which had exercised most vigilance!
