REPORT OF THE SEt It ETA ft l OF THE Mil. There I* very little In the annua! re port of the Secretary of the Navy wlih which the public I* r.ot already tamlilur It is evident that If ail the recommenda tions In respect to new ships were com plied with, the appropriailon asked for by the navy department would nob- he any 100 large. It is not probable, however, that Congress will aut bottle at this Um- as many vessels as that department would have constructed at once. We site getting alung pietty fast In building the new navy, too last In the opinion of some members of Congress who give much at tention to naval matters. Their view Is that so many Inventions and Improvements of one kind and another a,a being made that It Is only a year or two after a ship Is built belore she to kina to be out of date Theta must come a time pretty soon when steel baiilet-hlp* will be about aa perfect as H will he |*oas!ble for human Ingenuity to make them A feature of the report Is the account of the purchase of armor. It will be re called that there was a great tight In the Senate last winter over the question of armor for the new battleships. Renal tr Tillman led the tight against the demands of the armor-making companies Ills view was tha, these companies would make a big profit If they were paid 1300 per ton for It. The Senate coo *1 not reach an agreement, and so It was decided to leave the whole matter to the Secretary of the Navy, lie was given authority to build a plant for making armor i{ the nimor maktng companies would not make satis factory concessions. It seem* that the secretary worked all lasi summer with the onmpanlrs, and fin j ally made a contract with them. In tha ; beginning their d-mand was tiff per ton | They finally agree.l to accept of got per ton, plus Ihe royalty. It I* not certain that the government will have to pay the royalty. If It does, the maximum price w ill be 345j.33 per ton. It will he seen from this that the flglit that Ben..tor Tillman made had the effect of saving the govern ment a large sum of money—a very large sum. as the amount of armor needed Is about 27,000 tons. About tha Tort Royal dock the report says nothing more than Is already knowm. It recites Ihe action of Congress rela tive to moving the dock lo some other I*>lnt in Bouth Carolina and the appoint ment of a hoard to tnske a report on lha matter. It Is expected that the report of the board will lx* ready some time tn December. In the meantime the appropri ation for the repair of the Fort Royal dock Is being held up. 8, I.oul* Is suffering from an n*ld nuisance There seems to be a whistling epidemic In the town Everywhere one turns his or her ear* ore greeted with whletlcd “coon songs.” In the free, cars especially the whistlers make life miserable for the non-whl*tler*.
