THE NTGOMERY'S TRILL SUCCESS.
ONE KNOT EXCESS or SPEED INDIcATED-IN
spECTOR sTFPHENsONS CtsE.


SPECTOR sTFPHENsONS CtSE
Washington. March 90 (Special.-The Navy Depart
ment has received Information from baltimore that
the contractors preliminary trials OF the cruiser
Montgomery now nearly completed AT the Columbia
lIOn Works. were very satisfactory The machinery
OF the vessel worked smoothly under such VARYING
ditions We're experienced and the general conduct
Of the ship loft little TO be desired. The speed
definitely reported but from the data submitted as 10
the revolutions and horsepower OF the engines II Is
expected that the Montgomery win exceed the seven
teen knots required 10y the Governments contract Ly
AZ least knot. Naval Constructor Iiichborn said
that he would not be surprised 10 learn that the
Montgomery had made IL IL knots an hour on her
regular trial Under the terms Of construction this
vessel Is entitled to $4,000 for every quarter OF
knot made IN excess Of seventeen. II seems
probable that the official trial Of the Mont gomery
will be ordered by secretary Herbert within few
days. 1t is not possible for her 20 be- completed In
time to participate In the Naval review. Commander
Davis Will command the Montgomery when she is put
in commission. The Detroit. sister ship OF the
Montgomery, will not be ready for her trials for
least two months.
II was learned yesterday that the report Of the board
OF officers before whom Pay Inspector Stephenson. Of
the Navy. recently appeared for promotion. is now
before the President awaiting action. THIS has
attracted unusual interest In naval circles Pay In
spector Stephenson has been examined by two boards
The first one found him qualified and recommended
him for promotion. President Harrison ascertained
that the board had failed to look into the and
results Of an Investigation into his Official conduct
while he general sorekeepcr at the New York
Navy Yard. The recommendations OF the first board
were dsapprOved and another board convened.
This second board also found the candidate qualified
for Pre- motion. In the opinion OF Secretary Tracy
the report OF the second board not In accordance
with the facts in the and In IN exhaustive brief
setting forth the points al issue as well as the law.
he recommended that the last report be also diSap
proved. President Harrison did not act on the
Secrcary's recommendation on the second boards
report and President Cleveland Is now considering
II. Should the President d>npprovc tn" last boards
findings In the case. curious question Will arise.
4 naval officer bc advanced To the n"At higher
grade in the usual course until he i recommended
for promotion. and suc! recommendation Is approved
hv the President. II found morally unit for promo
ton by board. candidate Is dropped from the
service under the provision OF law. Whether an
oficer can be so dropped after board has fornd him
qualified BY the disapprova Of such finding By the
President Is a novel Question and its settlement Is
anXiously awaited 10y officers generally.

EXPENDITURE OF NEARLY 100000 APPROVED
BY THE COMMISSIONERS.

EXPENDITURE OF NEARLY 100000 APPROVED
BY THE COMMISSIONERS.
A plan involving the expenditure OF over SlOOOo-
900 yesterday approved by the board OF DOCK
Commissioners and passed to the Board OF Estimate
and Apporonment. 1t is a scheme for the acqulr-
Ing BY the city of property along the water front
originally scd I'm 1850. and was not acted
upon by the Dock Commissioners until Yesterday.
The plan provides for the Improvement OF the water
front along West ST.. from West Elevcnthst TO West
Twenty third ST. TIE list OF proposed expenditures
Is as follows: For acquiring rights TO 300 feet OF
bulkheads, at $500 foot, s1,7jO,O00 removing
crib work at 81 cuaic yard. $25..25o; re-
moving old filing by dredging at % cents

S7G0OOO; two large half piers at $4,000. 800
00O two small piers In front Of West washington
Market IS OOO $4,000; 10 per cent for contingencies
Including expense OF removing buildings. ETC.. $751;
ss2AO; assessed valne Of property TO be acquired
according to returns from the department Gf Taxes,
s333eeI6 so per cent for cost Of purchase OF prop
erty 81 ,66s,459. This makes total OF S9.21l,-
%56AO. To this amohint should be added the cost OF
making 300 feet Of bukhead at $780, 81 .325, 0O0
paving margin OF street at $75 neal foot, $4,000
This makes a total of S1O,093,9sG40.
The original plan for improving the water front,
proposed In 1871. allows for expenditure Of only
81 500 400 This plan was only for a bulkhead wall.
According TO the plan the revenue which the
city will derive from the improved property is as fol
bws: nineteen piers at $4,000 year. SGO!OOO;
two half piers at 81. 900 year. $1,000: two small
piers 81 900 EACH So 600 1000 feet OF bulkiead
q $40 foot $40 900: total, $oO7,O0O a year. Chief
Engineer Greene estimates that the city will thus re-
ceive a revenue from TO s per cent a year. The
estimate for expenses OF buying property and FOR
dredging seems be exceedingly liberal one. The
estimate for contingent expenses and Tor removing ola
buildings makes nc allowance FOR the money TO DE

PLEASED WITH TIE OLDFAsHIONED WINTER

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir | much surprised TO see in The Tribune
a report that number Of my friends have been absent
from the city during the last few months. The re
port. the truth OF which The Tribune wisely declines
assert is that a Florida key there Is large
colony Of people who have been longing for old
fashioned winter IN New York. II Is TO be feared
that this colony called into existence solely BY
the immoderate Of the pocket flask, which i, said
to have been carried by The gentleman who wrote the
account. II is impossible for mo to believe the
port. Almost all my acquainiances persons who
have wished for old fashioned winter, and. far
from leaving the city. they have been eHulting through
ont the last few months In the magnificent weather
have had. The only discomfort has been that
such winter Is the exception. not the rule May
