urged the necessity OF prompt reform

authoritative declaration of the en-
peror had effectually set the matter ut
rest. Herr Longmann asked how long
the German Michael was to wait now
that he had begun to assert his most
sacred rights. Continuing, Herr
Longmann. said: After Gen. Won
Grossler's speech, little is to be eX
pected from the proposed reform IN
court martial procedure. No one has
the right to cali the officers class the

Work at the New York navy yard
on the new machinery is progressing
as rapidly as the appropriation Tor
that purpose will permit.
The New York navy yard has done
the largest quota OF work, the expen-
dilures on vessels being $34G,927, and
the yard expenses $l30,537. The Nor
folk navy yard disbursed $l22,32O on
vessels and $49,47l on the yard. The

Mare Island (Cal.) yard disbursed
$123, 1862 on vessels and $83,45l on the
yard.
The report says of the Mare Island
yard; This Is the only repair station
on the Pacific coast, and there are now
at that yard under repair no less Than
seven vessels requiring more or less
extensive repairs, after several years
of continuous commission. The shops
are ll-adapted to the work, and the abb
scncc of proper tools and Of a modern

The result Is shown in the increased
cost of work done ut the yard beyond
what it would cost if the proper tools
were ut hand.
