mont, boen such as to reflect the greatest
credit upon his administration, the selcc
ton of Mr.. Tammany rs the head Of our
public school system we think is an emf
nontly wise one. The new superintendent
brings to his Office the benefit Of eighteen
years experience in his profession and is IL
gentleman Of scholarly Attachments and
undoubtod ability.
He filled the Office ono yonr during tho
administration of Gov. Reynolds, and in
that brief time greater progress was mado
in advancing our excollont educational
system toward the point of perfection it
properly should occupy, than has been
done since the adoption Of the system,
We feel sure that tho schools will pros
per under the charge of Supt. Tummauy.

HARLAN'S GET 4. CONTRACT.
The Wilmington Firm will Build the
Largest Of the Torpedo Boats.

Secretary Long yesterday awarded to the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company tho
contract for building the largest Of the
three torpedo boats tue Navy Department
is about to have built, and President
Morse of the Company brought the wei.
come news home last night. He had been
at Washington for two days looking after
the contract which, when sgiven caused
some dissatisfaction among other bidders
who were anxious to do tho work on the
largest craft. The representatives want o
reconsideration Of tho award but 1t Will
not DO made
Tho boat will also be tho largest OF Its
kind constructed in America and no doubt
will BIO among tho spcedicst.
The vessel will be 225 feet long, 81 4 feet
wide. and 10 feet depth of hold. Her dis
placement will be $40 tons.
The hull Of tho yes ,el Is so designed as
to permit of machinery OF auffiolen5 power
to be Installed This fact, however, will
not Interfere with the speed qualification,
as the hull is laid out on fine lines to In.
sure the best results.
The speed called for in tho contract Is
for 80 knots m honr On u run over q speci-
fled course. This is equal to moro than
34A Mills an hour, about the fastest in
Uncle Sans fleet.
Although this is tho first contract for u
torpedo boat ever awarded by the govern.
ment to the Harlan &Aollingsworth Com
pany, it, will not be ths first war vessel
built by tho firm.
In 1871 the monitor Amphirite was con.
struoted in this city, and in 1898 it was
again brought to the yards of the builders
for au overhauling. Work on tho torpedo
boat will probably begin within IL few
months.
