less unwieldy than the heavy and cumbersome
foreign battle ships of the largest class, they
can be the more gracefully marshaled and dex-
terously handled in the intricate evolutiops Of
the review.
Eleven foreign nations have respectfully de-
clined to participate China, Japan, Denmark,
Siam, Mexico. Ecuador, Nicaragua. Belgium,
Salvador and Costa Rica-but with the excep-
ton of the first three, those nations either have
nd nsvies at all or none to speak of, and the
defense ships of China and Japan are never
permitted to leave their own shores. More
over, China ana Japan do not specially desire
to have their warships inspected by other
nations.
PREPARING FOR THE REVIEW.
For months back there has been incessant
activity among certain bureaus Of the Navy
Department in preparation for the review, and
Secretary Tracy and Assistant Secretary

success. General details as to the temporary
enlistment of extra seamen, the reproduction
Of the Spanish caravels, the entertainment of
our foreign guests. the pushing forward to

celebration, and the procurement of coal,

smoothly under the republican system ar
engagements made by one administration are
carried out by its successor.
WHEN ADMIRAL GHERARDI ARRIVES.
Meanwhile the completion of the concrete
plans for the maneuvers at the rendezvous
and at the rpYiew await only the arrival of
Admiral Gherardi. That commander, with his
swift-winged Pacific squadron, is at this moment
in the near neighborhood of the Barbados

distance. So far as is known no procession
Of this kind has ever been conducted before.
THE CODE OF SIGNALS.
Another important task devolving upon Ad-
miral Gherardi when he arrives will be the se-
lection of a code Of signals to be used in COM
mon by the entire aggregated feet 1t is
thought by naval officers and officials that the
modified Myer code-a flag signal system-re-

ments of a general code. being at once simple
and comprehensive. In addition the flag hoists
now in use in our navy will probably be So ar
ranged as to form a supplementary code COW
ering all the conditions that may arise at sea
and in port.
IN NEW YORK HARBoR.
Still another point Of moment to tie success
of the affair will be the proper policing of New
York hsrbor and bay, in order that the move
ments of the fleet may not be impeded BY
swarms Of spectator craft and camp followers ~
The problem is receiving diigent study at the
Navy Department and every possible precau-
ton will be taken. in conjunction with the local
New York authorities. to avoid embarrassment
at the review on this score. or course the
operations contemplated in the review would
be impracticable without free scope Of water,
and the necessity of adequate provision to this
end cannot be oyerrated.
THE EvoLUTroNs
in New York harbor will doubtless be pro-
longed through several days and nights and
will include no end of intricate and beautiful
professional figures, sham battles, tactical
movements, races, wheelings, gyrations and
counter sailings. There will be undreamed
splendor on the sea and pleasure on the shore.
The placid waters of Manhattan will be lashed
into unwonted foam by an assembla3e of iron
ocean monsters hitherto unseen together be-
meath the sun. Forests Of shipping, laden with
jubiiant holiday thousands, and perhaps mill
lions. will watch and follow. By day the air
will be rent by storms of enthusiastic huzzas
from the tapd and of reverberating saiutes from
floating ornaments that may indeed thunder
strike the walls Of rock-built cities, bidding
nations quake. At night sky and water and
city will be iiumined BY flashing showers OF
rockets aud streaming torrents Of fire. Thunders
win roar and roll from forts and feet, bunting
and banners will aatter from tower and spire,
trumpets and bells will MARBLE and chang. and
WELCOMED! viii voice from every lip and de-
light will possess every heart. In such manner
will America at her metropolis fsly usher in
the quadro-csntennial celebration Of Columbus
discovery.

Slicker'n a Razor.

For the past few weeks tonsorial artist,
Robert Entsminger, has had in his en-
ploy an auburn haired barber, calling
himself Chas. F. Miller, and claiming to
be from Cincinnati. On Friday last he
requested his employer to give him
half>dollar, that he might pay for
"bath." The request was granted, and
he started in the direction of Mr.. Smiths
bathho Perhaps an hour or more
after he left the shop, Mr.. Entsminger
noticed him on the street corner, looking
florid and weary. He accosted him and
said !: II thought you wanted to take
bath?' $50 | did," he replied, "a bath
of beer" Both parties then returned to
the shop and decided to sever their bust
ness relations. Shortly after this Miller
visited Mr.. Entsminger's residence,
ostensibly to get his tools But when
was made, after his departure, it was
discovered that 81 in coin, which had
been placed in pocket-book, in bus
reau drawer had also vanished. Mr.. E.
learned of the fact and went in search of
Miller, whom he found aboard the casts
bound 6:10 train, having purchased a
ticket for Eagle Mountain. He was ar
rested and taken before Mayor Bowles,
and after q hearing, there being no pos
tive proof that he had stolen the money,
he was released. The money taken was
priced by Mr.. E. far beyond its face val
ue, as it had been in his possession for
several years.
