Heavy Gale of Friday Battered the Transatlantic Liners Severely. Friday's northwest storm struck incoming Transatlantic liners with great force and as a result theyare all more or less late. Those that have arrived report that they were barely able to keep steerage way on. The Scandinavian American Line steamship Island arrived this morning at Bush's Stores, foot of Forty first street. She met the gale on Friday and only logged sixty three knots on that day, the seas washing continually over her.

She brought fifty eight cabin and 133 steerage passengers from Copenhagen and Christiania. She anchored in the lower bay last night and came up to her pier this The Nicolai II of the same line reached her pier yesterday after a rough experience. She left Boston, flying light, on Thursday. She was only drawing twelve feet' aft and encountered the storm in the sound. She was forced to anchor three separate times.

Ordinarily any steamer comes here from Boston in two days. The Nicolai II presented such a high freebos i that the wind tossed her badly. The storm swept along the sound as through a. funnel. The big North German Lloyd steamship Prinzregent Luitpold reached her pier at the foot of Warren street yesterday morning.

She was pretty well washed off with boarding seas on Friday. She was not hove to, but she only made ten knots on that day. This is the first voyage of the ship here. She brought 242 cabin and S05 steerage passengers from Bremen. The Fabre liner Neustria arrived at the Union Stores this forenoon from Naples, and Marseilles.

Her smoke stack showed that it had been washed with spray clean up to the tops, as it is white with salt. She brought several hundred Italian immigrants and a general Mediterranean cargo. DISASTERS ON ASIATIC COAST. Several Vessels Lost Last Slonth. Japanese Warship Wrecked.

Tacoma, November 12 Oriental advices say many shipping disasters happened last month on the Asiatic coast. The steamer Matsunaye caught fire and sank in Esashi Bay. Her passengers were rescued. The steamer Tadotsu and bark Kawata collided near Yokohama, badly damaging both. The steamship Hokushiu Maru was wrecked on the coast of the Chiehima Islands, both vessel and cargo becoming a total loss.

The steamer Izanagi Maur sunk after striking a sunken rock near Osaka and sixteen of her passengers were lost. The third class coast defense vessel Katsuragi, ot tons, went asnore near Oshinia, and before she could to towed off was wrecked by a severe gale. A cruiser was sent to aid her and succeeded in taking off the crew. News has been received at Yokohama that eleven Belgian missionaries were murdered by bandits in Mongolia last montn. VIEWS OF KTJSSIA1T PAPER.

Anglo American Alliance Would Not Endanger Universal Peace. St. Petersburg. November 12 The Northern Courier, a journal with radical tendencies, referring to the result of the elections in the United States, expresses the opinion that the fact that President McKinley's re election did not cause uneasiness abroad is sufficient proof that America remains peace loving, in spite of imperialism, and that the world this. An Anglo American alliance, the paper says, would i not endanger universal peace, since, after America.

England is the most peaceful state in the world and it thinks that England's numerous small wars in Africa and India and the Transvaal war do not disprove this statement. It was not a desire for territorial aggrandizement that caused the Indian wars, but the exposed condition of the English frontier, which Russia threatened. FOB, NEW POST OFFICE BTJTLDING. Postmaster Van Cott Urges That Bills Be Pushed. Washington.

November 12 Postmaster Van Cott of New York had a conference with the Postmaster General to day regarding tho project for a modern new post office building in New York City. He urged vigorously the measure pending in both houses of Congress appropriating in round numbers $2,000,000 for this purpose, introduced respectively by Senator Piatt and Representative Cummings. The Postmaster General will urge the enactment of these bills into law, In order to relieve the congested conditions in the present building. LADY CDBZON IS NOT ILL. Bombay, November 12 The reports that Lady Curzon of Kedleston, wife of the Vlcerov of India, is ill, are absolutely ground less.

Sho is enjoying the best ot health. This root of many evila Tumors, abscesses, cutanepug eruptions. dyspepsia, readiness to catch cold and In ability to get rid of it easily', catarrh, and other ailments, including the consumptive tendency Is removed by Hood's Sarsaparilla so completely that a radical and permanent; cure is effected" This statement Js proved by. thousands ot voluntary SILAS. Wawarsing, writes: "When our daughter was two years old she broke out aj over her face and head with scrofula sores.

Nothing we did for her seemed to do her any good, and we had become almost discouraged when we thought we would try Hood's Sarsaparilla. The first bottle helped her and when she had taken six the sores were all healed and her face was smooth. She has never shown any sign of the scrofula returning." Hood's Sarsi cleanses the system of all humqrs inherited or acquired and makes rich, healthy: hjooi WILL IT STAND? Judge John Woodward Lurainpusly States the Constitutional Kela tions of the (From Leslie's Weekly of November 12,1800.) "Will the North Carolina plan is the recent effort of North Carolina to eliminate the negro vote by an educational qualification, with an exception clause in favor of those whose ancestors were permitted to vote before 1S67. "The action of North Carolina is that of tho state in its sovereign capacity, by an amendment to its constitution; so far as the people of that state are not limited by the provisions of the Federal Constitution, they have a right to determine the qualifications of electors, the only possible limitation upon this right, prior to the adoption of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, being that clause of the Constitution which guarantees to each state a republican form of government. In reference to their own state officers they are free to determine this question; it is a matter in which the people of other states have no concern so long as a republican government is preserved, and the Federal Constitution merely provides that 'the House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several states; and the electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State Legislature." The Federal Constitution makes no provisions for the qualifications a voter; it simply makes use of those provided by the states.

Hence a great variety of qualifications, ranging from educational tests to abstinence from dueling, and in nearly one half of the states it is not even necessary that a man should be a citizen of the' United States in order to a qualified, elector representatives In Congress; while in the matter of the election of a President and Vice President of the United States it is not necessary that the people should vote directly for the electors at all, the provision of the Federal Constitution being merely that "each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the state may be entitled in the Congress." The Thirteenth Amendment does not deal with the suffrage, and the negro can claim no right to the elective franchise under that clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which provides that "no state shall make or enforce any law abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States," because the right to vote is not a privilege of citizenship in the United States, but is a privilege extended by the States. This amendment does, however, provide that "when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a Etate, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or In any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion er other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male clti' zens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 of age in such state." This is a distinct recognition of the power of the states to restrict the suffrage, but it imposes a political penalty upon the state for refusing the ballot vote to all male citizens. It does not, however, point out anyway in which the negro may be restored to his rights, and it is extremely doubtful if it is practicable to enact legislation which will be effective in applying the penalty. The XVth amentment, while it did not grant the elective franchise to any one, or deny the right of the state to determine the qualifications of voters, had the effect of extending the privilege by the provision that "the right of citizens of the United States, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any state, on account of race, coler, or previous condition of servitude." This is not a limitation upon the power of North Carolina to provide an educational qualification for its voters, even though it should operate to disfranchise every citizen of color in the state, and it Is not for us to question the motives of a sovereign state while it confines itself to the limitations fixed by the Constitution. When, however, the state goes beyond an educational or other qualification, and excepts from it those whose ancestors were permitted to vote at a time when the suffrage was confined to the white race, with possibly a few free men of color, it is en croaching upon the Federal Constitution, and we have a right to question its conduct.

No man. in a condition of servitude In the State of North Carolina was permitted to vote prior to 1867; to have been a freeman was a condition precedent to the right to cast a ballot, and to preserve this right to the ignorant descendants of these freemen, while denying the right to those whose ancestors were in condition of is. denying the right of citizens of tho United States to vote on account of a previous condition of servitude. It is not necessary that the individual who Is disfranchised should have been in a pre 1 vious condition of servitude; it is sufficient. It the disfranchisement is made on account'of a previous condition of servitude on the part of any one.

The Fifteenth Amendment Is a provision extending the privileges of inaivla uals. and under well settled principles of law Is to be construed liberally to produce the results for which it was designed, and an effort to accomplish by indirection what Is forbidden directly is as much of a violation of the constitution as though North Carolina had declared in plain language that "no member of the negro race shall be admitted to the electorate of this state." As the court say in United States v. Reese (92 U. 214), this amendment does not confer the right of suffrage on any but prevents the or the United States from giving" preference in this particular to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." The question asked In the opening paragraph may be answered, then, that It will stand In so far as it provides qualifications for voters generally; that it will not stand In so far as It undertakes to except from the operation of these qualifications persons whose ancestors were eligible to the suffrage because of their freedom, while Imposing It upon those who have descended from a line whose lives were given over to a condition of servitude. However, as this provision of North Carolina's constitution is a law affect ing the rights of Individuals, it can only be questioned as to its constitutionality by an individual whose rights are affected, and It may be long before the question will reach the courts.

JOHN WOODWARD. ST. JOHN'S GUILD. The annual meeting of St. Johns Guild, of which the late William L.

Strong was president, will be held at the Waldorf Astoria tomorrow ovenlng. At this meeting five trustees will be elected to fill expired terms and two trustees to fill vacancies. Addresses Will be made by Mrs. Donald McLean and Dr. Charles F.

Roberts, chief oanltaxr lnsMetoe He Will Mot Have as a Candidate for Mayor Any Man. Who Voted for Bryan, Yet the Latter Carried Greater New York by Over 37,000 Plurality, and Stanohfleld by 55,000 Votes McKinley Gained 24 Votes in Tour Years in Kings County. "Whether v. belong to one party or the other and just so long as human nature Is as It is, men will have not only a natural, but, I believe, a healthy relationship to partisanship it will be your office and mine to remember what? That we are Republicans? yes, if wo are. Democrats? Yea, if we are.

But more, if we are either Republicans or Democrats, when it comes to an issue in. which the foundations of morals are threatened, that we are the servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now then, what has that to do with the safety of the State? First of all this: That to any man who Eeeks an office, or holds it, or contributes in any way to place any man into it, we put the Question not merely whether or no he is loyal to the party whose colors he bears, but whether in the discharge of the duty to which that party may choose him, he proposes to put party, or gain, or advantage oyer and above his duty to the God whose child be is, and to the Master whose consecrated name he bears." From Bishop Potter's address on 'The Christian and the State." While the smoke of the late presidential conflict is still in the air various newspapers, reformers and public men are busy formulating plans for a mayoralty campaign which they would have the public believe must be begun a year in advance of the election in 1901. The leader of Republicanism in this state, United States Senator Piatt, has declared, with an imperious wave of the hand, that such reform forces as recognize his sway will not support any candidate, particularly Mr. Coler, who voted for Bryan.

But this objection raised by the stern political mor alist from Tioga County does not seem to meet with general approval among the news papers which have entered upon a fresh cru sade against Tammany Hall, for the New York Times has this to say by way of com ment upon Senator Piatt's pronunciamento: "No man otherwise fit is to be deprived of political honors or kept out of public office in this country because he was a supporter of W. J. Bryan. That is a law of which proela illation may at once be made in every city and town in the Union, and every man of un clouded sense will assent to it. 'No bill of attainder can be drawn or ban of ineligibility be decreed against half the legal voters of the United States.

The sup port of a party candidate whose election was advocated by such Democrats as Edward M. Shepard and Richard Olney and by such in dependents as Mr. bchurz is not a crime, gentlemen, and you cannot make it criminal in the eyes of the people of this country. The Republicans who voted for Blaine were not blacklisted. The Democrats who have just voted" for Bryan wijl not be blacklisted.

Nor will they be excluded from the councils in which the reorganization of the Democratic party is discussed." Here it may be well to call public attention to a few interesting figures which demonstrate conclusively that no reform candidate for Mayor, nominated by regular Republicans and a co operative Citizens' Union can be elected without the aid of citizens who voted for Bryan, a fact which must be interpreted as meaning that if all of the Bryan voters stand by a reform candidate of their own, such a candidate will surely be ejected. In Kings County, four years ago. President McKinley received 109,135 votes. In 1900 the President received 109,159 votes. That is to say, despite the tremendous efforts made in of his candidacy by united business interests, newspapers, pulpite and the administration, Mr.

McKinley gained just 2i votes in four years, and Bryan, who received 76,882 in 1S96, polls 106,115, a gain of over 29,000 votes. And the Democratic candidate for Governor carried Kings County by nearly 2, 600 plurality. In New York County, Bryan polled 46,000 more votes this year than he received in 1896 this great gain resulting in his carrying Greater New York by a plurality of over 27,000 votes. More significant still, jn their application to Senator Piatt's declaration against a Bryanite candidate for Mayor, are figures taken from the Eagle's election re turns which show that Stanchfield, Democrat ic candidate for Governor, carried Greater New York by a plurality of 55,194 votes. With a Democratic candidate for Mayor whose character shall measure up to that of Stanchfield's; with a candidate known of all men to be absolutely free from domina tion by Tammany Hall, how is it possible for a Piatt candidate for Mayor to win? Voters by the thousands and tens pf thou sands who supported the Democratic candidate for President in Greater New York la3t Tuesday honor all the virtues quite as highly in their homes as Mr.

Piatt does in his, and are as keenly desirous of clean and capable government as any Republican reformer of Mr. Piatt's type can possibly be. The moral pest houses of New York, its gilded gambling hells, its fouler resorts for the small gambler and the vicious, are probably more abhorrent to such voters who are forced to live In a city which nourishes these evils more repul sive to these voters because they cannot escape them by flights to country homes in Tioga County or elsewhere more menacing to them than to the United States Senator, for they have sons and daughters threatened by the contaminations of a city In which vice is enthroned. If there is not a Democrat fit to stand as the candidate of these voters; If the managers of the Democratic party fail to name a candidate who is the peer of any man Mr. Piatt may name as a candidate a peer so far as cleanliness of character, ability and loftiness of purpose is concerned, then the time will have arrived for the overthrow of these managers.

The writer is one who does not believe that Republicanism monopolizes all the virtues or has a monopoly of any one of them. Wherever you have a Democratic rogue you will find a Republican rogue by his side. Democratic New York is in bad odor morally. We have the word of so eminent a Republican as John Wanamaker, supported by overwhelming testimony, that Republican Philadelphia is quite as bad morally as New York. But New York conditions are within our reach, and the writer is firmly convinced that the great mass of Democrats who supported Mr.

Bryan at the polls are determined that these conditions shall be ohanged for the better. The writer of this column believes there are good reasons for thinking that, when the time for naming a Democratio candidate for Mayor shall arrive, the leaders of the Kings County Democracy will be found resolutely advocating the nomination of a candidate whose clean life will be a guarantee, that vice, dishonesty and incompetency cannot expect any favor at his hands that they must regard him ns an uncompromising foe. That candidate may bo Mr. Coler or some thcr Democrat equally clean, capable and courageous. That Hugh McLaughlin and those who are most closely identified with him as sub loaders, are.

Funoral sorvlcefl at his late residence, 853 Gates nv, Tuesday, at 2:30 P. M. street learned by secret investigation of the existence of various pool rooms and disreputable resorts in this borough which claimed to be running under police protection. In private conversation with the writer. James Shevlin said that the Kings County Democracy would not undertake to dictate a course of conduct to be pursued by the police on Manhattan Island, but added: "We will not stand for pool rooms and bawdy houses on this side of the ferry.

We have always been against them and we are too old to change now. Brooklyn is a community of homes, and we propose to keep it as clean as we can." And those were the views of Hugh McLaughlin, also. Chief Devery resented the interference of the Kings County Democracy with police methods. Croker was in Europe at that time, and Devery was more impudent than usual. On one occasion he said to a police captain who had been suspected of undue friendship for pool room men, and had been rebuked by Deputy Chief McLaughlin: "You take your orders from me! See?" This was said in the presence of the Deputy Chief by way of rebuke for his zeal in endeavoring to close the poolrooms.

On another occasion, when a Police Captain reported that Willoughby Street was opposed to the poolrooms, Devery is reported to have exclaimed: "What the do I care about Willoughby Street?" The veteran leader of the Kings County Democracy and Mr. Shevlin determined to bring Devery to terms. Had Croker been at home, Devery's official head would have been demanded as the price of peace. As it was, Mr. McLaughlin deemed it necessary to call John F.

Carroll up on the telephone, and, after making a pointed statement to Croker's lieutenant, to end with the suggestive remark! "And if this is not done I will hold you personally responsible." A police official is the writer's authority for the statement that Devery did not take his hands off of Brooklyn until there was presented to the full Police Board a long list of pool rooms running in full blast on Manhattan Island. Chief Devery and his friends in the Police Board woke up to the fact that evi dence had been secured which might prove very convincing to the Grand Jury. This revelation of flagrant violations of the law on Manhattan Island, taken in connection with the fact that a member of the Brook lyn Democracy was also District Attorney of Kings County, had the desired effect upon Chief Devery. An exodus of Brooklyn pool room and bawdy house proprietors followed. Croker came home, recognized the propriety of the action taken by Hugh McLaughlin and his associates, and Devery was forced to be content with such rewards of virtue that come to a Chief of Police whose reign is supreme on Manhattan Island.

PAYS ELECTION BETS IN SHAVES. John Ikes, the barber of 7 Willoughby street, has narrowly escaped being called Silver Dollar John, because of a wager he made with Superintendent Charles Cranford on the recent election. He wagered f200, which was to be paid him in silver, as against a year's flee shaving. This is not the only wager he has lost to Mr. Cranford, for during seven years that man can boast of continuous free shaves, with hair cuts thrown in, as the result of wagers on prize fights and elections.

John, will get his money back, for he shaves such men as ex Senators McCarty and Mc Carren, ex Sheriffs Frank D. Creamer and William J. Buttling, Hugh McLaughlin, John Morrisey Gray, Judge Aspinall, F. J. Ash field, W.

H. Hazzard, J. Bookmann, Marriott uowaen, juage Mura, M. Strau3 and many other well known business men in the com munity. SERVANT ACCUSED OP THEFT.

(Special to the Eagle.) Worcester, November 12 Dr. William Morris Butler of Brooklyn will rend a pnpor at tho thirty fourth annual meeting of tho Worcester County Homeopathic Medical Society, at Memorial Hall. Wednesray morning. At the dinner he will respond to tho tonst, "Homeopathio Institutions In the State of New York." by the Navy as a whole. The bureau urges that the department will recommend to Congress the repeal of the clause referred to.

"In connection with this recommendation the bureau urges that the department will adopt a system, which has been found satisfactory in foreign administration, of requesting Congress in authorizing an increase of vessels to authorize at the same time an increase in the navy list corresponding exactly with the officers and men required to man the new vessels. In making a study of the budgets of the foreign powers the two most important points noticed are the activity and constantly increasing amounts appropriated for new construction and the increase in personnel. The one necessarily involves the other, and is universally so recognized, as the complements for the ships proposed are as nepessary as the armament. "The following two examples England, whose programme is annual, and Germany, whose programme covers a period of sixteen years will illustrate. Under the programme of new construction England proposes to lay down this year: Two battleships, six first class armored cruisers, one second class cruiser, two sloops, two gunboats and two torpedo boats.

"Corresponding to this, an increase of 4.240 in the naval establishment was voted, distributed as follows: 220 officers, 3,050 petty officers and seamen, 150 engine room, 200 miscellaneous, 300 marines, 320 apprentices. "The new German naval bill practically doubles the present fleet in 1916 by providing for a certain number of ships to be constructed each year. This increase in material necessitates a corresponding increase in personnel, which has been provided for by a total increase at the end of twenty years of 35.551 officers and men. This total is to be attained by an annual increase of 89 officers and 1,637 men." Admiral Crowninshield makes the blunt admission that the monitors Monadnock and Monterey are being kept in the Philippines in order to guard' against a possible attack by a foreign power. This remark was made in a reference to the necessity for a drydock in the Philippines.

He says: "The lack of a dock in the Philippines makes It necessary to keep full crews on board such vessels as the Monadnock and Monterey. These vessels are little use in the present state of the insurrection, but are needed in the Philippines as a reserve for strengthening the fleet in case of threat or attack from another power. Each six months, though, they need docking, and must then have a crew and convoy beside, to get them from Cavite to Hongkong, whereas, with a dock in the Philippines, they could be put in reserve and docked as necessary." Another appeal is made for the long delayed rewards to our Navy officers who won distinction in the Spanish war. "While the bureau," say Admiral Crowninshield, "hopes that Congress wjill authorize the reward of gallant and consmcuniiK eon duct by other measures than those established by existing law, it considers it its duty to place itself on record as again inviting the department's attention to the discouraging condition in which distinguished officers of the Navy have been left by not receiving any form of recognition for their heroic services during the war with Spain; Most of those who failed to secure such recognition owe the loss to the unfortunate public controversy which followed upon the President's recommendation that certain officers should be promoted. It is needless to say that he Navy had no part in this controversy.

"The bureau does not urge consideration for the individual as a reason for giving reward. It is simply that the Navy may be honored in having its distinguished officers honored. Foreign governments recognize completely that reward should follow promptly and as a matter of course close upon the information of a gallant deed. Yet our officers' warmest enconiums of those under them have so far failed to bring recognition to any except those who shared in the victory at Manila and three who served elsewhere in the war. The bureau again quotes the department's words written before the war to the Admiral, whose campaign afterward closed in triumphant and overwhelming victory: 'Each man engaged in the work of the inshore squadron should have in him the stuff out of which to make a possible Gushing; and if the man wins, the recognition given him shall be as great as that given to Gushing, so far as the department can bring The following comment is interesting: "The bureau commends to the consideration of the department the recommendations of the Superintendent of the Naval Academy that no physical disqualifications of naval cadets shall be waived.

During the past ten years there seems to have been a marked deterioration in the. physical condition of the graduating cadets, due to the fact that being more vacancies than graduates a vigorous weeding out policy, which was formerly nec essary, has now fallen Into disuse."

Senator Hanna Believes There Will Be Important Changes in the Nicara guan Canal Bill. Cleveland, November 12 Senator Hanna has returned here after a brief visit to New York. He expects to remain in this city until Congress convenes. In discussing the coming session of that body, Mr. Hanna said: "Congress this year will have some very Important duties to perform.

Three great bins, the Nicaraguan Canal bill, the Army bill and the ship subsidy bill are all to come before it. The Nicaraguan Commission will make its report early in the session and the debate in the Senate will probably begin early. "I presume there will be changes of some importance in the bill. It is reasonable to suppose that a lapse of several months has made a difference in the sentiment of the people on the bill and a change In some of its main features will be the natural result. The Costa Rican treaty, especially, involved us in considerable difficulty and the Costa 'tican government had to be consulted with." When asked with what measures he would most Interest himself during the session, Senator Hanna said: 'I have no pet measures this year a id shall take no particular interest In any of the bills before Congress.

Perhaps I am as much interested in Senator Frye's ship subsidy bill as in any." Admiral Crownjnshield Points Out Danger of Present Condition in Case of War. RESERVE SYSTEM INEFFICIENT. Admits Monitors. Are Kept in Philippines as Guard Against Possible Foreign Attack. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street.

Washington, November 12 The imperative need for an increase in the enlisted force of the Navy, and the handicap under which the department is now laboring through insufficient men and officers to properly man the warships now in commission, are the main points brought out by Admiral Crowninshield in his annual report, made public to day. In speaking of the necessity for keeping eyery battleship and cruiser in full commission, Admiral Crowninshield says that in case of war with a European nation we would need our whole fleet ready for action in the shortest possible time. He says: "The bureau is of the fixed belief that practically every battleship aud armored cruiser in our small Navy is needed in full commission. There is useful and necessary duty tor every one of them. When, however, officers or men have been unavailable to keep, a vessel in cruising condition recourse has been had, as heretofore, to the reserve system, under which vessels are more nearly ready for service than If put out of commission.

The Massachu setts and Indiana, after being thoroughly overhauled at the Navy Yard, New York, were laid up in reserve In the string in the fresh water at the Navy Yard, League Island. Each had about onerhalf of her full complement on board, and, as required of vessels in reserve, had all stores on board except such as were perishable or too difficult to be cared for. Without previous information to any branch, the department issued orders on June 5, 1900, to put the Indiana and Massachusetts in con dition for a three months'cruise. The bureaus were immediately notified. The Hartford, which had just arrived at Hampton Roads, with 350 trained landsmen on board, was directed to proceed immediately to League Island.

Coal was ordered to be ready at Norfolk. Stores were put on board at League Island. All was in readiness when the Hartford arrived from Hampton Roads thirty hours after the receipt of her orders and transferred the 350 men necessary to make up the vessel's complements. These vessels were then, except in one particular, ready for duty. They had a complete equipment of personnel and material on board, but organization could not be complete.

The vessels could not literally be 'ready for any service' until the crews had been on board long enough to be drilled into an efficient fighting force. This obstacle to the success of the reserve system is very serious in our present small Navy. "In case of war with any first class European power we would need our whole fleet, ready for action, in the shortest possible time. The bureau doubts if the Indiana crowded into commission on short notice has more than one half the fighting value of the Indiana three months in commission. However excellent may be the training of each Individual, he must be trained with his mates on board that ship in order to give his full value to the ship.

For this reason the bureau does not look forward to any present increase in the reserve system. Were our Navy larger in comparison with our needs, motives of economy might make it wise to lay up vessels in reserve. Under present conditions, however, only those should be laid up in reserve which would otherwise have to go entirely out of commission. "The needs for officers have grown more urgent with the increased demands of the past year. The bureau can point directly to the many respects in which the service is be ing harmed by lack of officers.

The course at the Naval Academy is suffering for dearth of officers. We cannot expect the high standard of training to be maintained there with the present meager corps of officer administrators and instructors. Every bureau and office in the Navy Department is short of officers to do necessary work. If careful supervision of drills Is compelled to be neglected, if we are compelled to use in certain instances old types of ordnance, machinery or equipment through lack of officers to give the necessary technical supervision in the bureaus, the service will soon fall behind in its struggle, first, for leadership, and then for equality with other services. The disability of the seagoing corps of officers has greatly Increased since the Spanish war.

Having failed to provide enough officers to do the Navy'e work, we are overworking those who are supplied. Many of those now in service are being broken down under the strain. Through not having more officers many of the best that we now have are being lost. "The effects of the clause in the last naval appropriation bill, which authorized the employment of retired officers, should be limited at once by the immediate repeal of the law. The authority vested by Congress in the Secretary of the Navy to employ officers on the retired list means, in a word, that those who are admittedly either incapacitated for duty or entitled to further exemption from duty may be employed to bolster up a Navy list staggering under a weight of duties entirely disproportionate to its numbers.

"Officers who, after serving for years in the Navy on the understanding that their recompense should be, in addition to their pay, the privilege of retirement at the age of 62, are told within a few years of their retiring age that they may be ordered to perform duty Indefinitely and without any hope of promotion. In other words, to go on the retired list to day means that an officer may be ordered to duty as before, but that he may no longer advance grade by grade with his brothers doiiiK the same duty on the active list. The retired list, which was intended to be a relief for disability incurred in the government service or a reward for long and faithful service, becomes a hardship or punishment It the lav. be executed, and. since all In the Navy arc approaching the retired list the blow is felt lof the Board of Health..
