or tho Navy tn bO Considered by seCrotar!
Norbert,

or tho Navy to bo Considered by Secretary
Herbert.
WAsuINGToN, D. O., March 20,-The
question Of sheathing our naval vessels
is one to which Secretary Herbert, it is
said, proposes to give some earnest con-
'sidoration.
Naval Constructor Hichborn has pre-
pared some important data on the sub.
ject. He shows that the Atlanta on her
trial trip with a clean bottom attained
speed Of 1876 knots an hour, with S,S45
horse power, while the Boston, her eX-
act duplicate, with q comparatively foul
bottom, made but 1873 knots on $3.50
horse power.
Constructor IIichborn holds that the
importance OF the preservation OF tho
bottoms OF steel vessels from corrosion
and fouling can hardly be over esti-
mated and is continually emphasized
by the reports OF loss Of speed and in
creased coal consumption received from
our new unsheathed steel vessels now
in commission.
Advices received by tho bureau OF
construction from abroad, show that
France, England, Italy, Russia and
Germany favor the sheathing OF naval
vessels,and do SO extensively.
Captain Hichporn recommends that
all cruising vessels intended for general
service in foreign waters be sheathed il
above 1000 tons displacement, and that
vessels Of less than 1000 tons displace-
ment intended for general service as
cruising gunboats, etc., be OF q compo.
sltion construction, with steel framing,
wood outside, plaaking and copper
aheathing.

PARIS, March 26.-At the meeting on
Thursday of tho Bering SEQ arbitrators
it was decided that the sitting Of the
tribunal should not be held behind
closed doors. This permits making pub
lie the exact points OF the contention
between the United States and Great
Britain.
The United States government claims
that from tho nature OF the industry
established on the Pribylov islandS the
United States has tho right to protect
and preserve these seals wherever they
may be found, rs the animals can only
be killed on United States territory
without danger OF extermination.
The case OF Great Britain on the other
hand, Is that the Alaskan seals have
not the characteristics Of animals that
can be made subject to property; that
IL is not certain they land only upon
the Pribylov Islands, or that they do
not intermingle with the Russian seal
herd, or that they arc pelaCic In nature,
and therefore, should be treated as fish
rather than land animals; that many of
the propositions essential to the posi-
tion taken by the United States are un-
proven, or contrary to the facts
Both nations conccde that the seals
have decreased. the United States charg-
ing such decrease to the destruction Of
the producing Sex by open sea sealing,
Great Britain claiming that the present
condition has beon caused by tho ex-
cessivo number Of mares killed on
islands and the injurious effect Of the
methods there employed.

ness after Fitzsimmons had knocked
him clean out in the second round Of
what would have been four-round
contest had Mayo been able to keep his
Jaw out Of the reach Of tho lanky Aus
tralian.
1t was,the first public appearance Of
Fitzsimmons since his famous .Gght in
New Orleans, and a crowd OF 5000 well
coined him with cheers when he
climbed upon the platform shortly after
10 o'clock. His first contest was with
Sam Bird Of Chicago, who was easily
disposed OF.
After Bird had left the ring Mayo,
who had been training carefully for
two weeks, climbed through the ropes.
He was in excellent condition and
looked tit for a good battle. At the call
OF time Mayo began with energy, land.
ing several good blows on FitS's chest
and one hot ono on the neck. His sue
cess drove the crowd wild and it yelled
like mad as Mayo got in one and lodged
away without a return. Mtzsimmons
caught him onco on the head and Mayo
at once grew prudent. The round
ended amid loud yells for Mayo,
The second round opened with Mayo
the aggressor. Lie landed once ana
caught hot left and hottor right be-
fore he could get away. He led for
Fitzsimmons's stomach and landed
hard. Fitz crowded him hard, getting
in several easy blows, which Mayo re-
turned hotly. Fitz ieinted with his loft
aud followed 1t up like lightning with
the right, catching Mayo with frightful
force on the chin. Mayo's arms
dropped and he tell like q dead man,
his head striking tho boards with a
crash that could almost have been
heard in tho street Ie lay almost
without breathing until the ton seconds
were up, when he was carried limp and
liteless to his corner, it being fully five
minutes before he was aware that the
fight was over. Fitz worked over him,
rubbed him down and did all in his
power to bring him around.
