BANK EXAMINATIONS.
They Are to BE Made Semi-AuuuaIIy
Hereafter. Without Execution.

Charles G. Dawes. Comptroller of the
Currency, has ordered that the system Of
semi-annual examinations OF national
banks in effect in the country shall ex-
tend over all cities without exception. as
heretofore
In the cities Of New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore only one exami-
nation by national bank examiners has
been made yearly, and the custom las
grown up Of special examinations by the
bank examiners made for the benefit Of
the bank and not for the Government,
for which the examiners were compen-
stated by the banks. One of the first Off
cial acts of the new Comptroller last jan
uary was to put stop to this practice
on the ground that for an examiner to
accept employment in the examination OF
the same bank for both the Government
and the bank had a tendency TO interfere
with the rigid impartiality which should
characterize his work as a Government
official.
In consequence of the order providing
for two examinations the CUmptrol er has
appointed Forrest Raynor, now pri ate
secretary of the Secretary OF the Interior.
an additional examiner for New York
city. Mr.. Raynor has had an extensive
experience in banking AMI business Eav-
ing been for six years the credit man
and collector of the Fourth National
Bank of New York.

ELECTRICITY IN THE NAVY.
Proposals for Its Use on Board the
HnffIaShGna

1t is proposed by the board of construc-
tion TO consider this week a proposition
received from the General Electric Com
pany to install electricity on board battle
ships
The proposition contemplates the install
lation of the electric system on the Ala
barna, the Illinois and the Wisconsin for
operating all of the vessels auxiliaries,
instead of the turrets only, as now pro-
posed. The kearsarge and the Kentucky
are equipped with electrical gear for all
except the steering gear, which is Operat-
ed by steam and windlass The system 10
be used on the Maine. the Missouri and
the Ohio has not yet been determined, but
will probably be electricity for all aux
iliaries.
Rear Admiral Schley reported that in
the battle of July 3, the turrets controlled
by electricity did better and quicker work
and were not so hot as those functioned
by steam.
Notwithstanding the detachment of Ma
val Constructor Linnard from duty as in
structor Of naval construction in the Ma
val Academy, Secretary Long is deter
mined TO continue the course. He has or
dered Assistant Naval Constructor Law
renee Spear 10 succeed Mr.. Linnard.
There is a strong probability that Chief
Naval Constructor Hichborn will request
Secretary Long to appoint an assistant
naval constructor from civil life for duty
at the new naval station at San Juan.

Rev. Mnckay-Snth.

There were no developments today in
the rumor concerning the probable with
drawal of the Rev. Alexander Mackay-
Smith from ST. Johns Church. There
seems TO be little doubt that Mr. Smith
has been offered the pulpit of the Church
of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia, and
some of his many admirers here, though
they would regret such step on his part
exceedingly, are of the belief that he will
accept it. The reticence of DR.. Smith
himself on the subject has made the be-
lief pretty general that his departure
from Washington will be one of the oc-
currences of the near future.
