PERSONNEL OF THE NAVY.
Admiral Walker and Others Before
the Joint Committee.

Admiral John G. Walker, Lieutenants
Colweil and Stanton, and Ensign Key APP
pea-ed on Saturday before the joint con-
gressional commission now investigating
the personnel of the navy Admiral Walker
made an explanation of his bill, under
which he showed that, should it be enacted
into law, and go into operation in 1894, the
navy list in December, 1899, would be as
follows: Twenty rear admirals, sixty cap
tains, eighty commanders, three hundred
and twenty-five lieUtencnts. seventy-five,
lieutenants of the junior grade, and thirty
five ensigns. The changes that would be
effected are as follows
All captains would be promoted by 1900
to rear admirals retired; all command
ers, lieutenant commanders and about
thirty-five lieutenants would have been
promoted TO captaincies or retired; leuten-
ants frCm about No. IS to 1875 would have
been promo ted to the grade of command
err or retired; the lieUtenants. junior grade
all the ensigns, and about sixty of the
two classes of naval cadets now at sea
on their two years cruise would have
Lieutenant Colwell argued in favoc of
having officers placed on shore duty instead
of being retired, this being a good means
for preventing stagnatiCn, and increa sing
the opportunities for promotion.
Ensign Key favored the proposed bill of
Secretary Herbert. with some modihca-
tons, his idea being that the methods of
promotion should be little more radical

NEW YORK'S LATEST SENSATION.
Living Pictures ut One of the Thea
ters Excite Great Comment.

A good deal is being said in New York
about the living pictures shown nightly in
one of the theaters attended by audiences of
supposed refinement and good taste and Of
the fact that the display seems rather to
please than to shock the audiences. The
living pictures are representations of what
may be seen in any art gallery, except that
the central figure, usually that of wo-
man, Is not of paint and canvas. but of
flesh, and herein Is supposed to be the Of
Tense. Those who persist that the nude in
art is Objectionable would hardly approve
the display; but artists and police captains
say they see nothing wrong in the pictures
A large gilt frame is set in the center of
the stage, in front of which a curtain is
drawn. The signal is given the curtain is
drawn to one side, and the effect of fine
painting is made. In nearly every case the
painting shown is that of a nude woman
and the girls who do the posing have been
trained to maintain the pose set for them
for several minutes. AS the audience views
it, 1t is a picture representing a woman in
some posture, but in fact living woman
clad only in one garment, and revealing the
outlines of the figure. Supposed fashiona BILE
audiences have for several nights looked on
admiringly, and the fact that a police cap
tain approves the display Is a sort of guar
antee that it will be allowed to continue.
