SHIPS STABILITY.
TOpheaviness of Our New Navy stiIl
Under Discussion.

The question Of the stability of the new
ships of war is still exciting considerable
attention at the Navy Department. This
is especially the case with the battle ship
Indiana, which will be the first of her class
to be tried at sea. Chief Naval Constructor
Hichborn is of opinion that the ordnance
weights above the water line greatly exceed
the proportionate allowance for the battle
ships. He has compared the weights OF
these ships with the ordnance weights Of
other ships at home and abroad and finds
that the guns and carriages of the Indiana
Massachusetts and oregon far exceed the
weights of any other ship afloat. and that
the difference is remarkably so in the COM
parison of displacement and draught To
correct this alleged topheaviness he mas
recommended a reduction of ordnance
weight by the removal Of four S-inch guns
from each ship. The ordnance department
has entered a vigorous protest against such
change in the batteries. The stability
board, of which Admiral Walker is presi-
dent, has the matter under consideration in
connection with the coming trial of the
Indiana.

INDIAN SOLDIERS,
The Red Companies Growing Smaller
and Smaller.

Ii is said at the War Department, that
if the present rate of depletion continues
there will be no Indian companies in the
army at the end of two years. These COM
panies have been materially reduced within
the past few months, and there is small
promise of recruiting the ranks with the
noble red man. They object to the re-
straints and discipline of army life and take
the first opportunity of getting discharged
At the height of the movement there We're
cavalry and II infantry companies
composed of Indians They have dwindled
but six cavalry and nine infantry com.
panies. and these show unmistakabl signs
of further shrinkage Although the outlook
is discouraging there is a strong DISPOSE
ton to give the experiment of making the
Indian, useful as a soldier. a full and fair
trial.

IN INDIAN CAMPAIGNS.
Officers Who Distinguished Them
selves to BE Brevetted.

A matter of considerable interest TO the
army which Will have the early attention
OF the President is the official recognilion
of officers who have distinguished thsm-
selves in campaigns against the Indians.
The law authorizes the comforting Of brevet
commissions for such service, but there has
been a marked tardiness on the part CT the
authorities in making such acknowleds-
ment. Last week Gen. Schoheld approved
q list containing the names Of 14J officers
who had been slated for brevet comrniS-
sionS. He placed the list before the Sccre-
Iary of War and recommended that Ii be
submitted 20 the President for nomination
~ the Senate This course will be followed
and it is expected that the President will
act soon after he returns to the city.
The approved list gives brevetS based On
the rank held at the time the service for
which it is given was rendered. 1t was
held by some that the brevets should be
basel on the existing rank OF the beue1-
ciary, and il was controversy on TINS point
that has delayed action in the matter.
Several officers in the list are recon-
mended for two brevets for merltorious
conduct in Indian fights on more than
one occasion. A few officers who have
been recommended for brevets nave died
without receiving them, and there is some
doubt as To the best course to follow in
such cases This may cause further de-
lay. but it is not probable. as ii has been
practically decided to act Immediately in
all cases where there Is no dispute. Officers
clearly entitled TO this distinction VIII
shortly get it. probably this week. The
brevets they will receive Will be one grade
higher than that they held at the time
the service was rendered.

THE CARNEGIE FINE.

The published statement that the govern

THE SEAL PATROL.
A Large Number of Vessels Will BE
Required to do the Work.

1t is a serious problem for the naval au-
thorities to secure a sufficient number of
vessels to carry out the agreement of the
arbitrators respecting the patrol of the seal
waters. The seal herds usually make their
appearance off the California coast about
May l. They proceed northward along the
coast, feeding they go, and in course of
time arrive at the Pribylov Islands in Ber-
ing sea- AS soon as the herds are sighted
OF California the sealing vessels begin to
hunt them and there is no relaxation of the
chase day and night until the weary ami
mails reach the sixty miles closed zone
around the islands. The slaughter IS very
heavy and particularly so when the seals
are. caught in the smooth water in the
headlands on the upper coast, and though
the take of seals is large, reaching a total
of 10000 last season, the slaughter is much
killed at sea is recovered, the others sink
ing rapidly.
What Must BE Done.
So to protect the seals adequately 1t will
be necessary for the naval and revenue
the poachers at safe distance. clear up to
the seal islands. At present there is but
one naval vessel available for the revenue
service at San Francisco. That is the Alert,
now under repairs at Mare Island. The
Yorktown arrived at San Francisco from
Callao last night, and can be called Upon
but owing to the delay in the arrival of The
Marion, caused by the necessity of repair
ing the injury sustained in a typhoon on
the Chinese coast, these two vessels are
likely to be all of the naval force that can
be made ready for service by May /. 1t Is
the intention to bring some of the vessels
of the fleet now at kio around Cape Horn
for this duty soon as they can be spared
from their present disagreeable post, but
1t will take them so long time 10 reach
the seal waters unless start is made i'm
mediately, that they will not be of service
at the opening of the season. And when
they do get as far around san Francisco
II Will be found that they will be in need
of repairs after their long exposure in urop-
ical waters, before the vessels can venture
on the Bering sea service. This will con-
sumo valuable time, and in addition, the
Navy Department is much embarrassed to
nnd money to defray the cost of repairs
In the present depleted condition of the linn
ited appropriations made for such PURPOSES
Altogether, the scarcity of available ships
Is severely felt by the Navy Department.
