Victoria Disaster n Warming.


Ever since the Victoria disaster one Of
the most terrible fatalities in naval his
tory, American naval officers have been
giving much attention To the subject of
bulkhead doors. 1t is now conceded that
the unfortunate British battleship filed
and capsiZed by reason of failure to secure
q speedy closure of the doors which are
intended to prevent the water from Il COM
partment that may be crushed in from
sinking the ship. Admiral Ramsey, chief
of the United States Navigation Blr eau,
caused experiments TO be made TO ascer-
tain whether ii is not possible 10 effect the
closure of al of the bulkhead doors auto
matically at a moments notice. The first
result has been the preparation by En-
gineer-in-C Chief Melville of model of q
seemingly perfect device to accomplish
this end. and it is probable that this will
be practically tested by application on a
large scale TO one of our new vessels. The
devices can be worked by compressed air
or by electricity and the officer of the deck
or the man in the coming tower of a
vessel. when lie sees that his ship is in
danger of being rammed by an opponent
or of being in collision by accident, may.
by simply pulling lever, first give notice
by the blowing of Il whistle or the ringing
of bell for specified number of sec
Onds of his intention. so that the men be-
low may escape TO the deck. or at least
get from under the heavy doors. and then
close every door

According to advices received in Wash

and has made map, accompanied by L
statement which, it is said. supports the

dence thus far presented by the British.
Senior Andrade the Venezuelan minister,
says it is the first time that the documents
sent out by the British foreign office have
been made available in the controversy.
The records now brought to public atten-
ton by Mr. Lyons were furnished to Ha-
waii by the British foreign office at time
when Hawaii WAS a monarchy and largely
under British control. On comparing this
with the map furnished by the foreign Of
fee twenty years ago he found that the
boundary line had been entirely changed.
The first map gave the line as Venezuela
claims it should be. The last map shifts
the line far westward and includes as
British territory about 10000 square
miles which the first map showed clearly
TO he Venezuelan territory. This inter
vening 10000 square miles is the subject
of contention.

A gentleman very close TO the President
says that unless the income tax be declar-
ed constitutional the President will, in his
next message to Congress, recommend the
doubling of the beer tax. Should such

revenue of about $50, 100000.
In the judgment of the Supreme Court
that portion of the revenue law of 1894
relating to the taX.On incomes is ''inopera-
tive, void and unconstitutional" In ar
irving at this conclusion the court took
the broad view that, while some sections
Of the law might be constitutional if taken
up separately. the law was so framed tina t
1t could not be considered equitably eX-
ccpting as a whole.
1t may be taken as a settled fact that
