degree of efficiency OF the French war

The first Vel sion of NJ Lockroy's re-

great need Of fresh blood and sweeping
reform.
The big 10000 toa warship Magenta,

be virtually worthless.
NJ. Lockroy In his completed report,
says that when the Subcommittee in
spected the torpedo fotilla at Toulon.
only five out of the fifty-one torpedo
boats were ready to SAIL If there was
immediate necessity to send them to sea.
He adds that defective plates have
been furnished from the Creuzot Works,
and that many boiler explosions have
been caused by the ignorance OF the
engineers. Want OF preparation is said

PROTEST AGAINST A SALOON.
Prominent Citizens Don't Want One
MT $50 sixth Ayenue

The residents of the vicinity of Sixth
avenue and Forty eighth street are con-
siderably agitated over the application
for saloon license for the premises
$50 Sixth avenue. and there are on file
with the Excise Board protests and re-
monstrances against 1t.
The applicant is Patrick Duffy, and
among the protestants and petitioners
against the granting of the license are
the Trustees Of Columbia College the
Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church,
Fifth avenue and Forty-eighth street,
Thomas ID. Robinson, Carlos G. De
Garmendia, George Zabriskie and nearly
one hundred prominent citizens who re-
side in the neighborhood
In 1891 an application was made for a
license for these premises, and 1t was
refused. The late Police Commissioner
Joel w Mason was one of those who
attached his name to the protest pre-
sentcd to the Excise Board at that time.
The objection to the granting of the
license Is made on the ground that the
locality Is purely a residential one, and
because there are six liquor saloons
and two stores for the sale OF wines and
liquors on sixth avenue between Forty
seventh and Fiftieth streets.
The petitionRs will appear before the
Board Wednesday.
