OCCURRENCES OF THE YEAR.
In the ship building policy of other naval
powers and the designs of war vessels recent
iv laid down, great value has been given to
the importance of high speed and to the
gradual development of the type known as
, the protected cruiser In some cases the
maximum speed guaranteed is az great as
| 20 knots, while a speed OF nearly 10 knots
has been attained by several vessels already
| in service.
Aside from the development in the type of
| cruisers already noted, most prominent
| feature noticeable in the conduct of naval
affairs is the great attention paid to the study
of naval warfare by means of the squadron
of evolutions. In this practical school.
tactics. gunnery, the use of torpedoes and
torpedo-boa are taught, and the officers thus
gain an experience in handling vessels of
| high speed and the use of modern weapons
and appliances of war, in which so great and
rapid changes are constantly being made,
| under circumstances which closely resemble
| those of actual warfare.
The department in July last appointed a
board to examine aud report upon the adapt

although they suggested certain improve

The steam trials of the Stiletto were ex-
ceedingly satisfactory. and when the small

sidered they compare most favorably with
those of boats built abroad.
NAVAL ACADEMY.
The report of Commander Sampson points
out certain disadvantages resulting from the
present so-called six year course" at the
Academy. and proposes that the Length of the
course be fixed at four years.
To remedy these evils change in the law
is suggested by which the length of the course
shall be reduced from six to four years, and
the cadets at the beginning of the final year
shall be classed in two divisions, pursuing
during this year separate courses of profess
sional study. adapted to that branch of SER
vice which they will probably enter.
The temporary wooden building at the
quarantine station in Penobscot Bay is suffi
cient for present uses, but it shonld be re
placed by a permanent structure whenever
Congress will grant the money.
The report closes by giving an account of
the war vessels in commission.

Cheap Labor at the South.

has however, said nothing of the kind. The
