TRANSATLANTIC
Speed Test Reported for Battleshlp
Renown by British Admiralty.
Character Of Halifax as Terminal Point Of
Service Would &c Demonstrated.

Halifax, N. S., Aug. 1.-THE reported
intention of the British admiralty TO
give the battleship Renown speed
test from England to Halifax VIII De
one of the great commercial and navas
features of the year if carried into
effect. Such test by the naval au-
thorities would demonstrate the char
acter of Halifax as the terminal point
of fast Atlantic service.
The Renown Is massive ship and is
speedy, and her safe arrival here IN
perhaps five days would be a tangible
advertisement of the port. The speed
of the Renown is 1884 knots. The Re-
nown's venture on fast running at sea
will also demonstrate the seaworthi-
ness Of the vessel, and her coal carry
ing capacity. The Renown is heavier
vessel than the Indiana by 5000 tons,
but does not carry half the guns that
the Indiana does. She has narbettes in
place of revolving turrets, and has sew
eral heavy guns below the main deck,
what the Renown lacks in weight and
size of guns, she gains in speed, sea-
w0rthiness and ammunition and bum
l1er space She could remain longer in
action than the Indiana, manouevure
more rapidly. and stand heavy weather

sTEAL1HY TORPEDO Bo.r&
Naval Authorities At Newport, r. l., Are
Planning Manoeuyres

Newport. r.. l., Aug. 1.-THE naval
authorities are at present discussing
plans for the development Of tor
pedo warfare in this country, in view
of the fact that while systems of tao
tics for the working Of squadrons of
larger and slower craft are available,
up to the present time no thoroughly
formulated directions for the maneu-
vering of the torpedo fleet have been
prepared. This is being done in anti
cipation of the finishing of the new
vessels which are being rapidly made
ready Tor service. and which will be
added to the fleet during the fall.
The matter is now in the hands of a
conference of officers, who have had
some experience with the little craft,
at Washington, called by Acting Sec
rotary of the Navy Roosevelt, who has
taken a decided interest in torpedo
matters and who has formed the opin-
ion that it is impracticable to attempt
TO maneuVer torpedo fleet after the
methods used by the larger vessels.
IN inns connection experts point out the
fact that the torpedo boat makes its at
TACK by stealth, and hence much depends
upon the daring Of each individual com
mander, rather than on the direction of
the senior officer In charge Of the feet,
VINO IN the time OF attack, will not have
the power OF directing the formation OF
the line by signals as in case of the adj
niral lighting with squadron of battle
ships like the one recently In this harbor.
Ii seems to be the general opinion in
navad circles that the best work the fleet
can do this fall Will be to make a minute
study of the Atlantic coast by actual Wis
ltltiou. thus not only becoming acuuant-
gu with the little bays and shelters not
frequented by ordinary navigators, but
also by taking note of the shores of the
coast, with view of determining the
value of the different features of the out
line. becoming familiar with hiding
places which are formed by the back
ground rather than at any forelying
lands. The war college has already given
4 limited amount of attention to these
questions, but IT lays with the fleet to
perfect them. Study of the duty Of a
scout is considered another important de-
tail for u fleet to go into
