New TorpedO Boats.

Senator Mcpherson, chairman of the Commit
tee on Naval Affairs, yesterday favorably re-
ported from that committee the amendment to
the naval appropriation bill authorizing the
construction of twelve new torpedo boats. The
amendment provides that the cost of the boats
shall not exceed S200,0OO each, and they are to
be capable of making a speed of twenty-five
knots per hour A premium of 5000 per knot is
TO be added for speed in excess of twenty-five
knots, and penalty of that amount in case the
speed of the boats fall below twenty-five knots
Eight of the boats are to be constructed east of
the Rocky mountains and four on the Pacific
coast. The Secretary of the Navy In a letter to
the chairman of the Committee OH Naval Af-
fairs, says he should be glad If Congress shall
determine to authorize the construction of these
boats. He recommends the appropriation of
