Secretary Whitney, in his annual report,
pr'eseuting a brief review of the condi-
ou of the navy as it will exist on the 4th of
next larch in“ comparison with the same on
the 4th of March, 1”“. says: “So far as
moral ships are concerned. the subject h
yet to be treatel in a broad way by the de-
partment and congress. As a result of the
policy adopted and carried out during the
gut three years, the conditions at the present
2, the secretary says, are such that every
thing necessary to a first class fighting ship
can be produced and furnished to the depart-
ment in this country as soon as in the course
of construction any element or feature h
aired; but this has never, heretoforo,
until the present time, been true, and there-
fore the consideration of the subject has
been nooemrlly postponed by the depart-
ment until the present time.
The efforts of the department in ship con-
struction have necessarily, since March,
1%, been devoted to unarmorcd vcsels, and
as to these the department is able to report
that when the ships in course of construction
and those authorized shall have been com-
pleted, the United States will rank second
among the nations in the possession of un-
urmtwed cruisers or “commerce destroyers,"
having the highest characteristics of line,
fill!) tons and upwards, and possessing speed
at nineteen knots and upward.
The importance, the secretary says, which
hasheen placed upon this branch of naval
armament will be appreciated from the state-
ment that England and France pomsixty-
five vessels of the class known as unartnored
cruisers. The attention of the worlt'l' was at-
tracted to the destructive etfect which my
produced upon the commerce of the United
States by the cruisers fitted out under the
auspices of the Confederacy in the war of
“ the rebellion. The total tonnage of regis-
tered visuals of the United States had risen
by year, until, in 1Hi1,it amounted to
”HAW tons, and between 1561 and ltitlli it
w. reduced to 1,491,626 tone, or, in other
words. to the point which we had reached in
row, from which dccl‘Otc we have never re
covered. The insurance War risk upon
American vcswls during the War rose in ex-
ceptional cut-s. to as high as It per cent.
Referring to the reduction of expenses dur-
hgthc rmst thirty-four years, it is claimed
that the savings of the department are pay~
tag for the navy, and on this topic the score
tary says: "it is gratifying to be able to re
port that, notwithstanding the large cs—
peuditurcs for the new navy in the last three
years, the rcoluction in other directions has
made the total expenditures of the depart-
ment less for those years thanfor three years
ending June30, 1851, the ordinary expenses
of the department having been reduced over
I) per cent."
A tabl: is included in the report, which
draws that the exyxvnditurcs for the years
ending June it), 1552, 1:533 and Wit, were
“7,979,397, and for the years ending June
I). 13303, 13‘)? and 1887‘, Mitflllfil).
Dimming maid and harbor defenses. Sec—
retary Whitney says: “In the lust annual
report of the department the considerations
were given leading to the conclusion that it
would be unwise for the department to fol-
low the mum of the European powers in
building unprotected torpedo hernia, and in
the preecnt uncertainty regarding the prac-
ticability of submarine boats, and while
waiting the practical trial of the dyna«
mite gunboat, it has been deemed who for the
department to build one light draught, hear-
ily armored, harbor defense floating battery
it ram, for which [designs have been pro
prod.”

l'el‘lIIICII-‘TIIG Others Narrowly Escaped.
HANCOCK, KiclL, Dec. l.-—Tbe Calumet
and llecla mine was deliberately set on tire.
0f the two or three hundml men on duty at
the time all but eight cecaped unharmed.
As soon as the tire was discovcnd’the men
began to work their way out, and, whcnthcy
reached the tire itself, madcap attempt to
tunt on the water, but the pipes had been
dimmuected and no water was to be had.
The signal wire had also been cut, and there
was nothing left but to tight for life.
Under the guidance of cool headed leaders
:be men worked their way around the burn-
in; tunnel to other connections with the main
engine «shaft and thence to the surface.
While the scenes below were being enacted
the cry above that the mine was on lire had
rem-bed the homes of the miners, and the
wives, children and friends of the men below
soon crowded around the shafts, wild with
grief and anxiety.
Aseach man came up out ofthedeath
trap, be was seized by weeping wifennd chil—
drcn or anxious friends, and cries of grid
were changed to shouts of rejoicing.
The men kept coming up until it war
known that all but eight had been ranted.
To these no thasible hope rcmaina,‘aa every
avenue of cream is t at off. They were
doubtless anotherul between the aistlchvel,
where the fire originated, and the atrium.
Their names are: Anthony Labgcn, An-
:lrew llanscn, Joe Roe, Antony Kalakie,
Bt't‘sht‘l' Tara, John Flick, Joe Moeaoglie and
John Vanderbilt.
At the spot where the tire originated mom
was working, and this fact, taken in oonneo
tion with the dieconnecting of the watu
pipes and the breaking of the signal wire,
leaves no room to doubt that the tire was the
work of an incendiary. Just one year ago
the mine took fire under circumstances which
pointed strongly to incendiarism.
It is hinted than an interested syndicate 'l
at the bottom of the fires, and that the work
b that of their hired accomplices for the pur-
poae of checking the production of topper,
and hates bnmning the price.
The management had a standing reward
of 32,000 for the dhcovcry of the men who
set the fire a year ago, and if human agency
can discover the perpetrator of this dead it i
openly declared that he will be buried head
down the burning shaft.
Nomeansof approximating the probable
Ion to the mine company are at hand. The
other tire burned for thirteen weeks, and did
millions of dollars worth of damage. It was
nothing in ficrcem compared to the present
one.
Late last night the tire burst its way
through the surface, and a huge pillar of
Mount] sparks shot upward like a volcano,
but it was again smothered by coverings of
earth.
