Amount of Nicke, in the wo,,d

New YORK, Oct ga Tribune Wash
ington dispatch says the secretary of the
navy has decided not TO make any immedi-
ate purchase of nickel to be used as ALLOW
In the manufacture of armor plates. When
the armor trials at Annapolis demonstrated
the victory of nickel plate, it was expected
nickel would advance in price. As far as
the information possessed by the DEPART
ment could form basis of judgment, some
difficulty in procuring the metal was looked
for. and Congress was asked to make pro.
vision for the purchase of nickel without
delay. The urgency of the matter was
made more OBVIOUS by efforts making bv
foreign armor and ordnance manufacturers
TO secure Tor their works the product of
the Canadian mines, which was regarded
as the most accessible. 1t seems no inouirV
has ever been made into the exact QUANTITY
OF nickel in the world. Dlsinterested
authorities were somewhat at variance on
the subject, and statements mgde by oper
ators OF nickel mines were in effect that
the metal was scarce, was evidently ac
cepted. The department detailed FIVE
officers who know the nickel mines of the
world, with view to their pro-
ductlveness. Commodore Folger, chief
naval officer, visited the mines at
Sudbury in Canada and brought back some
specimens. Lieutenant Buckingham was
sent to the mines in Nevada and officers
attached to the United States legations
abroad visited the sources of nickel in
Europe. The results of these examina-
tions show the supply OF nickel is not linn
tied. 1t now appears there is small occas-
ion for immediate action. According to
these reports all nickel required for armor

IMPROVED PROPELLERS
For Steamships-An Ingenius Connecticut Me-
chanic May Revolutionize Ocean Travel.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Oct 29.-An ingeni-
Gus mechanic in this city, James Hamilton,
has finished fine working model of an en-
tlrely new method of adjustment of the
Dropellers for ocean steamers. 1t consists
of three great horizontal shafts lying par
alel to each other and extending outward
from the stern of the vessel. To each shaft
three bladed screw propeller is attached.
the central or middle one being in an area
Just twice that of the other two Cropellers.
Within the vessel the three shafts are
pinned transyersely with strong rods and
nave clamps attached so that one or all can
be instantly detached if necessary. A
triple expansion engine of great power is
used to run each shaft The inventor
claims that his system will give a more mi
form molten and with the same horse
power exerted by the engines will give far
greater results. In other words, if 10000
horse power is exerted on two propellers
1t gives vessel speed of twenty miles an
nour. The same power exerted on three
propellers will give twenty-five miles an
hour.
When at sea the breaking of a shaft or
part of the engine is often serious matter.
In this device there are nine combinations
which can be made to run the ship. This
may be better understood by saving that
the three engines and their shafts mpst
each be broken or disabled to put the ship
in helpless condition. The device is to be
submitted to large ocean steamship build

MaJor-General Miles, Annual Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Major- General
Miles, in his annual report of the military
division of the Pacific, while reporting the
tone and character of the service most ex-
cellent, says any system is defective which
leaves with little advancement and slight
hope of recognition the class of citizens
VINO devote themselves entirely to military
service. The artillery branch shoHld be in
creased by at least two regiments, and the
same organization be given infantry that
exists In the best armies of the world
namely, three battalion organization.
General Miles says the various methods
resorted to to discourage desertion have not
to any consi ierable extent done so. He be-
neves, however, we are approaching a
solution of the problem, and that the
measures recently adopted are step in the
right direction.
The holding of disconnected Indian tribes
on the San Carlos reservation, especially
along the ella river, which is unsuited to
them and often unhealthy, will alw avs be
source OF danger and disturbances. As
several military posts and reservations in
the department are abandoned, he recon-
mends that they be at once occupied by the
Indians or converted into industrial
schools, and the Mohave and Yuma In
dams be removed there at once from the
sickly ella valley. The San Carlos Indians
now along the San Carlos river and White
mountains should be located on sufficient
part OF the reservation ana the remainder
thrown open to such use as can be made of
1T by the citizens. The tribes would be
more easily controlled when separated and
precisely in such regions as they are now
compelled to occupy.
The general dwells at considerable length
on the coast defense question, reiterating
his wellknown views on the subject The
recent practice maneuvers of the English
navy demonstrated, he says, the fact that
their powerful navy could not defend even
the Limited coast of that island, and it is
useless to suppose any navy we can con-
struct can defend our extensive sea coast.
Land batteries are far more economical
than armored ships as means of defense.
The general recommends that sites for coast
defenses be secured without delay, a gun
foundry be established on the Pacific coast
and one-fourth of appropriations required
for coast defense be made every year for
the next four years
