have the North Atlantic squadron under

and drills than have yet been attempted as
soon as the ships be made ready. The
experience gained in the evolutions Of the
past summer and this fall have resulted so
satisfactorily in the education of officers
and men in the handling in combinati ton of
war ships that the department feels justi-
fed in putting them to still great
er tasks, and unless there is
change in the programme and it should
be abandoned from a fear of a misunder
standing of the purpose, which is in no
sense war-like, the coming winter will see
the aSSemblage of the largest and most for
midable squadron which has been under one
command in American waters since the
war. The word has gone out to push stead
lily the work of completing ali of the ships
which can be made ready within reason

in commission as can be manned. The
North Atlantic squadron will be reinforced
by the addition of such powerful craft as
the monitor Puritan and the armOred
cruiser Brooklyn. 1t was intended to put
the Newark out of commission, but orders
have gone out to have her repaired at
Norfolk within thirty days without laying

the treasury officials to be greatly exag-

a part OF September the withdrawals re-
ported from the SubtreaSury at San Fran

serious results. Long before the withdraw
ais assumed any considerable proportions
instructions had been given to the Chicago
subtreasury officials to be ready to ship to
San Francisco such quantities of gold as
might be required, and later on one or
more shipments We're made. For the most
part however, the assistant treasurer at
