applications, but 1t Is thought that the Presidents
choice Will fail outside or that number, since he
has been heard to express a desire TO promote to
these stan positions first leutenants Of the line
who have remained stationary for years. There
are some OF these Officers whose rank has not been
changed for over twenty years; for example First
Lieut.. Richard p. strong, 4th artillery, comInis-

commissioned ia that rank in February, 1857.
There are seven others who have remained nrst
lieutenants for twenty-One years. and nine who
have not risen from that rank for twenty years.
This record, however, Is more than eQualed In the
case OF some or the Captains. Capt Cushing, who
Will be promoted by Col. Simpsons retirement,
was commissioned Ia February, 1883 over twenty

CONTRACTS FOR BKEECH-LoADING RIFLES AWARDED
Acting Secretary Harmony has awarded con-
tracts for the manufacture OF twelve 6nch breech-
loading rides for the new war ships. The con-
tracts are with two firms, the South Boston Iron
Works and the West Point Foundry Co., each re-
cetvtng half of the work. The price to be paid Is
$50, 400 on each contract. The bids for this work
were opened early last month, these being the only
bios, and 1t was then noticed that the BIDS were
exactly Identical, both as TO prices and times OF
completion. Secretary Whitney, who was present,
remarked that 1t was peculiar state or Affairs,
whereupon the president OF the South Boston Iron
Works explained voluntarily that the two firms
had consulted and had agreed to submit the same
bids. The question OF accepting the bids was re-
ferred to the Bureau or Ordnance with the view OF
ascertalning whether or not the prices were fair.
The bureau reported that there was nothing In the
bids that was IN any particular unfair or out OF
the way, and that 1t was not strange that the
firms should consult, inaSmuch as the work was
OF u new kind, requiring special plant Upon
this recommendation the contract was divided.

EFFECTS OF RETALIATION.
What the Naval OfRicers Think Would
Result from Trouble with Canada

The Presidents recent message to the Senate on
the fisheries trouble has had peculiar effect upon
the naval officers stationed In the city. While they
do not pretend to discuss the subJectmatter of the
message or even the merits OF the controversy they
are regarding the effect OF the proposed means Of
retaliation with f-concealed mrth, sometimes bor-
dering on contempt This sentiment, IL seems, Is
not political In the least but based upon knowl-
edge OF the true condition OF affairs as regards our
resources In case OF trouble with Canada.
"Why," said one Of them the other day; "what
is the use of talking about war? England, to
state the case plainly. has forty or more available
modern armored ships OF war which could reach
our shores within three weeks from the nrst alarm
on the other hand, we have, at the most, fifteen
vessels OF war; which could not be moboized inside
OF two months, and when they came they would
not altoge her be q match for Two OF the English
men such feet as England could send over could
occupy every one OF our ports In less :han month"
This is the general sentiment among naval ON
cers and they say, Is supported BY facts. The
only truly modern ships OF the American Navy
are In process Of construction, and In such condi-
tions that il VIII be months before they could be
called DC for service The Others, to the number
OF about Twelve are wooden vessels, poorly armed,
and OF slow speed. some OF them being In Asia and
others In Europe.
