OFFICIAL COURTESY.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Wsshing-
ton advices say an order just re
ceived, assigning COMMANDED w
II. Brownson as general inspector
the work Of construction on cruiser
No. 10, building at the columbian
works, Baltimore, promises to lead
to one Of the liveliest "line aud
stah-' rows the navy has eXPeri
enced for many a day. This i TIE
first time line officer has been lie
tailed as an inspector and the con
structioD and engineer officers mad
subordinate to him. The reasln f..
this change OF policy is, the prosec'
i've commanders of the new shi1-
should be on hand during tn
progress of construction in orde'
that they may see and sugg-s
many matters Of detail that would
be overlooked by the constructor
and engineer, who, although experts
fn the mechanical and techuical
features Of construction, have n".
the practical experience to see all
things needed. The construction
and en- 2ineer bureaus, however, con
slider the detail an unjust reflection
Oh their ufficers, who are specially
trained to build ships, and that 1t Is
a usurpation Of their authority t"
put an officer over them whose dutI
il is to sail, and not to build ships.
