The secret-service Division.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS-The chief of the
sscretservice division. in his annual report to
the Secretary of the Treasury. says that durin 2
the last fiscal year, 444 arrests were made by the
operatives of the service, large majority of
which were for passing, dealing in or manu-
featuring counterfeit money. The amount of
counterfeit money captured during the year was
1905, $50, mainly in flash notes. A large amount
Of plates. dies, molds and counterfeiting mate
rial was seized and destroyed The CHIEF of
division expresses the opinion that there are
now in the hands of counterfeiters about
800, 600 in base money of the following charac
ter: Twenty dollar silver certificates; $40 United
States notes; $40 note of the Third National Bank
OF Cincinnati, and S. United States notes.
The report says that counterfeiting of coin Is
on the increase, which, in the case of the five
cent nickel, is due to the disparity between its
face and intrinsic value 1t also speaks of the
good results of the law for the punishment of
persons who counterfeit foreign money and
securities The report also saws that while coun-
tsrfeiters of paper money have been unusually
active during the past year, they have been
generally unsuccessful in their efforts to float
the results of their work. recommendation
ie made for legislation prohibiting the making of
dies or mods for making fac SMILES, for business
purposes. of United States coins, and another
fer legislation to extend the powers of the service
80 as to include authority to act in all cases of
fraud against the government.

The Rureau of Naviuation.

WASHINGTON, Nov 18.-Commodore j. G..
Walker, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, in
his annual report to the Secretary of the Navy,
submits estimates for $4,000 for the support of
the bureau during the next fiscal year. 1t is
proposed that the Ranger shall be employed
In sounding in the Pacific ocean, off the coast Of
Lower California and Mexico, and in examining
the north Pacific for the rocks and shoals which
have been reported in the track of vessels The
old surveys of the coast of the Spanish main
are known to contain many errors, and it is
proposed that the Thetls shall be used to make
the surveys necessary to correct them. Upon
the completion of this duty, the report con-
tinues, the Thetis, should be sent to the south
Pacific to examine the many dangers to naviga-
ton reported to exist in that section the exist
ence of which has, in many cases, not been
proven. Commodore Walker strongly recon-
mends an increase in the clerical force engaged
in copying the naval records of the war for pub
6cation. He submits, as appendices the reports
of the heads of several divisions of his bureau,
and calls attention to the recommendations.
