PRAISED BY LONG,
Work of the Naval War Board During
the Recent HostiIities

The Secretary of the Navy has written a
letter to Admiral Sicard, president of the
naval strategy board, In which he says:
I'm view OF the practical ending of the
war with Spain. and the well-earned relief
from further duty to which the naval war
board Is now entitled, 1 cannot, though alb
sent from the department, forbear to ex-
press to you. and through you to your as
sociates on the board, the very high appre-
citation which the department has of the
services it has rendered since the war be-
gan That its members have been faithful
and diligent in the highest measure goes
without saying, for they are animated by
the nigh professional spirit which distin-
guishes the navy, and which they have
themselves done much to stimulate and
maintain. But from my personal knowi-
edge and observation l desire to add to
this, that equally marked have been the in
teiiigence, the wise judgment the compre-
henslVe forethought and the unfailing COM
petencE to meet every exigency which have
distinguished their deliberations and ac-
tlon. May it not be said that not one error
mas been made? Proper control by the de-
partment has been exercised over all move
ments in the field and yet at the same time
commanding officers have been duly left to
exercise discretion and have never been
nampered in their work. | do not know
now your work, a member of that i'm
portant board, could have been better done
or where in the arena of the war YOU could
have rendered better service or deserved
more honor"

COLONIES OF FRANCE.
Consul General GowGy's Review of
Their Com M erciai Condition..

Consul General Gowdy at Paris has made
brief review for the State Department of
the commercial conditions of the French
colonies, a question of widespread study in
France at present. Mr.. Gowdy says that
in common with the other great nations of
Europe, the statesmen and the business
community of France are doing their ut
most to augment the Importance of their
colonies from a business standpoint.
The fifteen colonies that are under French
rule contain a supertice of 1,S77991 square
miles and have population of 81 ,615 ,421.
Their trade with the home country amounts
to s1i3 ,So6 ,a97; the importations into
France therefrom being S13. .0I3,4l5; exports
from France thereto, $40, .v3 So. The re-
cent delmitation of the Niger territory by
the Anslo-F'rench commission, which ter
minated its labors in June last, will cause
some changes in the figures referring to
the African colonies, but they will not be
forthcoming until some time in 1899. The
boundaries fixed by the Anglo-Freach COM
mission may be considered still uncertain,
as the German Colonial Society, on June
%, protested against them 'an infringe
ment OF German rights
