UNITED STATES NAVAL EFFICIENCY.
The british and French Alarmed mt
the New Cruisers Work.

The British and French have taken alarm
at the splendid performance Of our two
new triple-screw cruisers the Columbia and
the Minneapolis. For lorg time this
great departure in naval engineering so
successfully practiced by i:ngineer-n-C Chief
Melville was looked upon with suspicion by
foreign naval powers, and, indeed, there were
many critics in our own navy who predict
ed the failure of the vessels. but now all
opposition seems to have disappeared and
both Great Britain and France are about
to pay US the compliment of building ves-
sells of this type anu even endeavorng to
improve upon the originals.
The British naval program for this year
includes the construction Of four improN ed

No Movement Yet Among N1Her

There is no animation at the river front
today, but the faces of the river people
wear more hopeful aspect than for sew

Superintendent John Callahan of the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Com

ing with the steamer Washington for this
port. Nothing is known here as to what
progress she is making, but the officials of
the company here feel confident that she
will come through. Captain Geoghegan of
the Norfolk received orders yesterday
afternoon from Superintendent Callahan
to pull out, and made immediate prepara-
tions for the execution of the order. Later,
though, 1T was countermanded
1t is thought that the Norfolk will leave

AN AMUSING EPISODE.
Senators Hill, HOnr and WOlcOtt Were
Involved In 1t.

An amusing episode occurred on the floor
of the Senate this afternoon that served to
break the monotony of q somewhat tedious
speech by Mr.. Hill in support Of his reso-
luton declaring for bimetallism. Mr.. Hill
was swinging along at good pace, and re-
jecting all offers to interrupt him. when
Mr.. Hoar, who has ideas on all subjects,
especially historical, happened to think of
a fact that would help Mr.. Hill In his ar
gument. and he made his way over to the
other sid, of the chamber and took seat
directly in front of the Senator from New
York. He waited a favorable opportunity,
which came when Mr.. Hill took a drink Of
water-he never drinks anything else. Then
Mr.. Hoar stretched his neck toward Mr..
Hill and whispered something to him that
was not audible except within a very short
radauS.
Il hope we will be given the benefit of
the coloquy between the Senator from
Massachusetts and the Senator from New
York." said Mr.. Wolcott quickly. Mr.. VOL
colt is one of the irrepressibles of the Sen
ate. He is liable to get into the ring at
the most unexpected times and to say and
do the most unexpected things. His re-
mark on this occasion was like blow in
the face to Mr.. Hoar who is intensely SEN
radius.
MIR. HOnr Was Annoyed.
Mr. Hill did not understand Mr.. VOL
cOtt SuSSeStiOH, ana tIle ldtteT repeated
It. Mr. Hill laughed amusedly, but Mr.
Hear, whose face had grown very rosy,
stood up and appeared to be ready to
launch the most vehement invective at the
Colorado Senator. His mouth twitched
nervously, and he was the picture of in
tense wrath. He walked back to his seat
amidst the laughter of the Senators, while
Mr. Hill went on to explain vehemently
that there was nothing secret about the
coloquy, but that Mr.. Hoar had kindly
told him of case on record parallel to the
present situation.
When Mr.. Hill had finished his version
of the episode Mr.. Hoar arose and said
that he had not wanted to interrupt MIR.
Hill with his historical reference. and he
went on to say that at first there had
been an angry reply upon his lips, but he
felt sure, on reflection, that no Senator on
the floor would make such a remark with
an impertinent or discoTrteous motive, and
he was certain that the Senator from Col
orado had meant no offense, to him.
Mr.. Wolcott's Explanation.
Mr. Wolcott disclaimed any idea of be-
Ing dIsCourteous. and said that he had de-
sired to hear the coloquy mainly because
he expected, in his own feeble way, to re-
ply to what Mr.. Hill had been saying.
II wanted to hear" he said, what the
Senator from Massachusetts was saying,
because l knew 1t must be of great value
ator from New York. which, I hope, may
yet prove valuab ble.'
Thus the storm cloud passed away in the
good humor that followed Mr.. Wolcott's s
witty reply. but Mr.. Hoar has not yet re-
covered his equanimity.

versity and the Soldiers Home, the one
that is now operated by the trolley.
The proposition, rather request, OF the
road to have the time for removing the
trolley on New York avenue extended for
year. as incorporated in the amendment
to the East Washington Belt line bill be-
fore Congress. does not by any means meet
with the approval of the District authori-
ties. The extension of time is asked for on
the pretext that the road desires to con-
slider the introduction of the new system
on the New York avenue division: but there
seems to be a feeling that the road does
not need anything like sixteen months for
this purpose. 1t could be substituted in
four months just as well as in year.
$50 far as can see." said Engineer Com
missioner Powell to Star reporter this
afternoon, 1.-The electromagnetic system
could be put in place without any trouble
in three months. and 1 can see no good
reason for extension of time. Person
ally. 1 have my doubts as to the ultimate
success OF the system, anyway. 1t in
cludes. for instance, the putting in of six
projecting points at distances Of fourteen
feet between each pair of groups. Think
how many of these points there must be
in a long road and you get some idea of
the possibilities for getting out Of order,
especially as these points are elevated 5-S
of an inch above the level of the street.
Time will tell however, and my fears may
prove to be groundless. Still, would pre-
fer to see the trolleyS remain on New York
avenue for a while longer rather than to
see the new system adopted before its sue
cess has been demonstrated beyond a per-
adventure. My own preference is for
compressed air motor. for l think that
such Improvements have been made In 1t
of late that 1t can be relied on with some
degree of certainty. 1t does not make the
cars any heavier than ordinary car and
seems to give general satisfaction But
1 can see no reason for a years extension
of time If the road wants to put in the
electro magnetic system / should certainly
think it could be accomplished by July 1
next"

the office to which have given the better
part of my life for the last four years.
From the organization of the council 1t
has been tacitly understood that presf-
dent should serve but one term. but as
succession to ones self in the presidential
office is not prohibited by the constitution
as originally adopted. have myself SUD-

successor in the presidency"
rs Mrs. Avery candidate?"
II fear she cannot be prevailed on to

willingness to continue In the office of cor
responding secretary, in which she has
acquitted herself with exceptional ability.

arduous and confinins than those attaching
