] the establishment of signal sta ions for
/ coast defense.
The militia of Massachusetts, and New
York has beef given special instructions
in torpedo practice and coast signaling,
and the service of such men will prove
! of great value. 1t has been suggested
that the life-saving stations, being I'M
der government control. should be fully
equipped with apparatus for signaling.
BOSTON HARBOR.
Among Secretary Longs callers was
Mayor Quincy of Boston, who dis
cussed the need of protecting the city
by suitable armament and first class
ships, as well as the two single tur-
reted old monitors to be sent there.
Mr.. Long fully shares this sentiment OF
his fellow tOwnsmen. but there is little
prospect that the better class of ships
can he used north OF Hampton Roads
in times of emergency.
Commodore Schley came to bid good
bye to Secretary Long before going TO
Hampton Roads to assume command
Of the flying squadron. He leaves
Washington tomorrow and will raise
his commodore's flag on Monday. His
heart is in this particular assignment.
and he expressed the greatest Satistac'
ton in starting for this duty.
PAINTED FIGHTING. COLOR.
Another shift was made in the plans
for painting the warships and Captain
Crowninshield finally determined that
all the ships of the navy should be
painted dull lead color. This was the
color of all federal ships during the
civil war, and is said to be the best
lighting color"
The naval bureau of ordnance is pre-
pairing new mounts for a number OF
Whitehead torpedoes, in order to place
them in the revenue. cutters, and the
newly acquired yachts and tugs. The
torpedo tubes were originally intended
to go below deck. but with the new
craft the tubes and mounts must be
changed for service on the upper decks.
When this work is done, Captain
O'NeiI. head of the bureau, expects to
be able to equip 60 craft. if occasion
demands, with torpedo tubes.
DRY ToRTUGAs.
The contract fer the big steel pier.
coal sheds and extensive coal aPpli-
ances for loading war vessels at Dry
Tortugas and Key West were let today.
The Union Bridge company Of New
York will build the steel piers, etc.
both at Tortugas and Key West, the
contract price being S590,000 The
tracks. cars. machinery. etc, will be
furnished by the Brown Hosting COM
pany of Cleveland, o.. for $151. 0G0. The
contract calls for completing the eX
tensive work at Tortugas in $50 days
and at Key West in $50 days.
REVENUE CUTTERS.
Formal orders were published today
by Captain Shoemaker, chief of the
revenue cutter service. for the eight
revenue cutters called into the service
of the navy, to rendezvous at the Nor
folk navy yard. The instructions given
TO the commanders of the ships were
to report at Norfolk between the 18th
of March and the 9Th of April. Some
difficulty is anticipated in getting the
cutter Gresham out of the great lakes.
She is too long to pass through the
locks Of the canals. and it may be nee
essary for the department to cut off
the stern of the vessel in order TO per-
NIT her passing the locks.

BILLS WHICH DID NOT PASS.

Some Of tho More Important Measures
Which Failed to Receive Favorable Con-
sideration in the Hands of the Legislature.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
Dover, June lit is probably fact
worthy Of note that there were some
things which the latp Legislature failed
to do. In some cases this inactivity ia
commendable, while in others there
was no Just cause for withholding favor
able consideration. Some bills were
killed outright. Others were not acted
upon and few were Withdrawn, with
the under standing that they we're to be
offered at future Legislature. Among
those held up for future action probably
the two which gained the most notoriety
were the Wilmington City Charter and
Boiler Inspector bills. There were two
city charter bills. One was voted down
and the othsr vas withdrawn.
OF the bills which were killed the
most important were as follows: Pro-
hibiting tho trading stnurp business;
providing that the plumbing inspector
of Wilmington should be member OF
the Board OF Health giving the Legis-
lature discretionary powor in making
laws for lsvying taxes; granting certain
land in Lewes and Rahoboth hundred
to William NJ. Jefferson amenuing thu
charter of the Junction & Ereakwater
Railroad Co. SO as to atipulatn tnat
Certain land ut Rehobnth should revert

Newark TO borrow 81. 600 for the pur-
pose nf building an addition to the
echnolholso; amending the nav Cnn-
stituton so az to give each county
equal representation in the Senate /;
creating general corporation law !;
establishing State board Of a9ricul-
ture; providing for naval reserve

Pennsylvania railroad VIII Provide New
Ones with n Capacity Of 80 Tons.
After munths OF investigation into
the feasibility Of increasing the coal
carrying capacity of itR care in thia
city, says the Philadelphia Telegraph,
the Pennsylvania railroad has definitely
decided upon tho plan.
contract has boon awarded the
Schoen Pressed Steel Go. to manu-
facture 1000 Hteol cars for the road,
with capacity OF 100, 600 pounds each.
Tho total cash value of the contract
Ono nf this largest made in this branch
of railroad map ufacture = is in tho
neighborhood of $1,000, 000. NotTith
standing the greatness of the outlay,
the expenditure lie in tho limo of the
strictest economy, which comes high at
first, when interests of a magnitude
like those OF the Pennsylvania railroad
are to be dealt with.
This proposed employment Of cars OF
such immense capacity is o radical do
parturs in freight transportation. in
this Hection, at least 1t has heen long
under consideration by tho officials OF
the road, for, while the change was Oh
viouHy desirable, its feasibility re-
mainod to be assured.
Hitherto a capacity OF 80, 600 pounds
has boon regarded as the maximum size
of soal cars. Tho Pennsylvania railroad
equipment included number Of the
larger cars, hut tho majority in servlcc
were constructed TO carry 30, 900 pounds.
When the subject of employing cars
larger than tho SO, 900 pounds size was
fret considered there was little doubt
that thoy could he huilt of sufficient
strength and at advantageous priceF.
Tho question which arose bore upon
their practical utilization in tho coal
districts OF Pennsylvania, for il is in
this State that they are designed 10

Tho new cars will not displace from
service those now in operation; they
will be nm addition to the road equip
