PEARL RIVER DRY-DocK.
The Chief of the Bureau of Yards and
Docks in the Navy Department, speaking of
the Appropriation of 100000 for II naval
dock at Pearl River, Hawaii. contained in
the Naval Appropriation Bill, said to-day
that nearly all of this large amount would
be required to blow up the reef at the mouth
of the harb0r, and several hundred thousand
more would be required to build the dock.
The Supervising Architect will soon re-
-new his efforts to secure suitable site for
the San Franc lSco pOstofiice building.
OFFICERS FOR COLLEGE DUTY.
The Secretary of War and Secretary of
the Navy have agreed upon the appoint
ment OF army and navy officers to the yar-
Gus States for college duty. Under the law
as amended during the last session the num-
Der of officers for this detail is increased
from seventy-iiye to eighty-dve, to be dis
tributets among the land-grant colleges, and
secondly among the universities of States,
according to population. OF the elghty-fve
officers ten are to be from the navy and
sevcnty-fve from the army. As a rule Cap
tans of companies, regimrntal staff officers,
or officers who have served less than three
years with their regiments, or have completed
tour OF detached Servlce,Wlll not be eligible.
This detail is not to extend over three years.
In the navy there are few officers on cll-
lege duty, and the condition of affairs is
rapidly approaching, if indeed it be not here
already, when all the naval officers will be
needed for service aboard ships. 1t is
doubtful II the ambitious scheme for having
engineers and constructors detailed as tech
nical college professors will ever be real
lied. The new law is of less cencern to the
navy than to the army, and 1t may be that
even the ten officers credited to the navy
will not be designated.
