since rejected the bids of both the Herreshoff
Company and William Cowles for the con-
struction of torpedo boat No 2, an advertise
ment will soon be issued inviting bids on
plans prepared in the Department. The Loaf
will be somewhat larger than originally con-
templated, having 125 tons displacement in
stead of 112. This will make her ten tons larger
than the Gushing, which she will greatly re-
semble in appearance, except that she will
have but one coming tower, which will be
forward OF the smokestack, while the Cush-
ing also has one aft. Her principal dimen-
sions are: Length $50 feet; beam, 16 feet 3
inches; mean draught, 4 feet 9 inches. The
speed of the boat is to be at least "a knots
an hour.

AS the new Navy increases and full powered
steam vessels take the place of the old
wooden ships, which relied in part upon their
sail power for propulsion. the amount of coal
consumed increases in rapid proportion. This
fact has led to the issue of the following
order by the Secretary of the Navy: "Officers
in command of naval forces, whether sQuadrons
or single ships, are directed to practice the ut
most economy in the use of coal At the
first favorable opportunity after the receipt of
this order commanding officers of vessels
will make experiments IN order to ascertain
the most economical rate of speed for
their ships under conditions of ordinary
service and fair weather. Reports will be
made to the Department stating the con-
sumption of coal per hour at varying
rates of speed from five to eleven knots, the
kind and quality OF coal used, the condition
OF the bottom as far as known, and such re-
marks in reference to the most economical
rate of steaming of the vessel as the experience
OF the commanding officer may suggest. Yes
