USE OF FIRE-PRooF WOOD.
1t VIII Continue in All Interior Parts
of Vessels.

The controversy over the use of fire-proof
wood in the navy has been settled by Sec
reyary Long. Use of the wood is to con-
tinue in all interior parts of vessels under
construction according to previous speciii-
cations. This comprises over two-thrds of
the wood. 1t is left out of decks on the
ground that in the opinion OF the Secretary
the advantages here are not commensurate
with the increased expense, and out of tor
pedo boats the ground that it is un-
necessary where 50 little wood is used.
The following is Secretary Longs in
dorsemeDt:
After a careful consideration of the
question as to the advantages derived frOr,
the use of electro fire-proof wood on naval
vessels. 1t is decided that no electro fire.
proof wood shall hereafter be used for the
king of naval vessels as the advan-
tages that might be derived from the use
Of such wood are incommensurate with the
cost of the same; that its use on torpedo
boats now under construction be discon-
tnued, as there is so little wood work on
them: also that electro fre-proof wood
shall be used in all joiner work of the new
battieships. as provided in the speeifica-
tons accompanying the contract therefor
as the advantages to be derived from its
Use for such purpose would seem to justify
the increased cost incident thereto"

TO ASSIST COL. BINGHAM.

Lieut.. Gilmore VIII Continue on
Social Duty at the White House.
In announcing the assignment of Captain
Charles L. McCawley of the Marine Corps
as an assistant to Colonel Theo. A. Bing-
ham, Corps of Engineers, in the manage
ment of the official receptions at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, it was enormously stated
that he would relieve Lieut.. ]. c. Gilmore,
jr., 4th Artillery, stationed at Washington
barracks. The fact is that Lieut.. Gilmore
is to be retained on social duty at the
White House and will continue to act as
Col Binghams principal assistant. He
served throughout the administration of
Pre- resident Cleveland and made a most cred
liable record, SO much so that Col Bing-
ham made a special recommendation that
he be retained In that capacity. The de-
tail of Capt. McCawley to similar duty at
the Executive Mansion at official recep-
tioLs was due to the belief that additional
assistance was necessary and he was Sc
lected as the best available man for the
place.
AS has been already stated, the first re-
cepiion to be given by the President and
Mrs. Mckinley, Wednesday, will be con-
nned to persons receiving cards of invi-
tat'on, and although the production of
cards will not be required, it is said by
one of the officials that it would greatly
facilitate the success of the function If
