The NAVY.
A Satisfactory Account of the Progress
Made During the Year.
Many Calls for Cruisers.

During the past six months the demands
Tor cruising vessels have been many and
urgent. There have been resolutions call
ing Tor vessels to protect American inter
es.s i'll Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa ltlc;',
Honduras, Argentena and Brazil, While
the condition of affairs in Honolulu has
required the constant presence of one or
more ships. With all these calls upon our
navy it became necessary, in order to make
up sufficient fleet to patrol the Behrlng
sea under the modus vivendi agreed upon
with Great Britain, to detail to that ser
and three from the revenue marine.
Construction Somewhat Slow.
Progress in the construction of new YES
sells has not been as rapid as was antlcl-
pased. There have been delays i'll the
completion Of unarmored vessels, but for
the most part they have been such as are
constantly occurring even in countries
having tie largest experience in naval
ship building. The most serious delays,
however, have been i'll the work upon ar
mored ships. The trouble has been the
failure of contractors to deliver armor rs
agreed. Difficulties seem now, however,
to have been all overcome, and armor is
being delivered with satisfactory prompt
ness.
The president recommends that no new
vessels be commenced until some of those
already under wa completed.

''Why does not the practice OF hypnotism

had just been released from the City Prison.
DR.. Gregorowitsch was arrested last
Wednesday for publishing an advertising

The query was based on a remark OF the
doctors that while people thought he had
made oceans Of money from his practice
here he had in reality made nothing.

OF course the fee that the doctor collects
whenever he can he does not regard and is
not anxious for.
'There is one great inconvenience arising
when the hypnotist attalns his growth"
said he. "The ethereal spirit that has been

He forgives him, however, for ''he knew
not what he did"
''In Russia" said the doctor, "they honor

self in open court of declaration of prin-

to make it exceedingly warm for all sayster
lawyers, cappers and case-nxers who dared
invade the sacred precincts Of the court
room. For day or two the "case-workers"
of the class mentioned gave Reed wide
berth. but finally the first scare wore of and
they began working right under the nose OF
Reed. This made the prosecutor mad and
yesterday he carried out the threats made
in his declaration of principles and swoTe
out warrants for the arrest of John Gala

them under section 3 Of the yagTancy act,
which provides for the punishment Of men
who roam about from place to place with no

years ago and lost it In speculation. Then
it was that he began work in the Police

There is no question but that Prosecuting
Attorney Reed is moving in TIE right direc-
ton, and if he only keeps it up IL will be
possible to convict some of the chronic
criminals and the cappers too.
