ENGLAND'S NAVAL RESERVE.
Consideration OF "a Scheme for En-
rolling Colonial Seamen.

LONDON. July PA deputation from
the British Empire League visited the first
lord Of the admiralty, Mr.. Goschen. today
TO urge the enrolling of colonial seamen in
the naval reserve.
Mr. Goschen said he thoroughly sympa-
thized with the movement, adding that the
colonies ought to realize that they must
bear fair share Of the defense of the en-
pire.
Continuing, Mr.. Goschen said that il the
colonies would bear the expense of train
ing the naval reserve men, the government
would bear the expense of the mems re-
tanning fees In conclusion, Mr. Goschen
promised the deputation that the COM
manders of the British naval stations
would be instructed to open communica-
items with the various colonial govern
ments, with the view of evolving a prac-
teal scheme for enrolling colonial seamen
In the naval reserve.
Postmaster General Mulock of Canada
who, by the way. it is reported, is about to
be knighted. assured Mr.. Goschen of the
cheerful cooperation of Canada in any
movement having for its object the safety
and stability of the British empire.

FOR HIGHER SPEED,
Secretary Long Expects to Get Faster
Battle Ships.

Battle Ships.
Secretary Long has taken formal action
toward an increase of the minimum speed
| limit of the three battle ships recently au-
thorized by Congress. The limit of sixteen
knots fixed by the board of construct ton,
upon the statement of the engineer-in-chief
that with the weight and space at his dis
posal he could not guarantee a greater
speed, not high enough to the Secre-
tary's mind, and he therefore issued this
notice to shipbuiiders, which he believes
will result in increasing the speed of the
proposed ships:
The department will, in awarding con-
tracts for the construction of battle ships
Nos. 10, Ii and II, under its advertisement
of June II last, give preference (other things
being equaD to such bids as offer to guar
antee the highest rate of speed and greatest
coal endurance, the total weight of engines,
boilers and coal, and space allowed there
for, to remain as now fixed by the circular
defining the chief characteristics of said
vessels and the department plans and speci-
fications, and the vessels to have steam
ing radius of not less than o. 43a Knots at a
speed of ten knots.
The Secretary believes that ht, will obtain
ships of between seventeen and eighteen
knots speed Engineer-in-Chief Melville
hitherto has designed machinery which
would give not only the minimum limit of
sixteen knots, but which would produce on
trial half or three-duarters of a knot more
He intimated to the department in his mi
nority report that the water tube boilers
which he proposed for the new ships would
drive them at greater speed than that
hxed by the advertisement issued by the
department month ago.
The Secretary determined, after consider
alton of the matter, to give the shipbuilders
chance to compete The Cramps and the
Union iron Works each have the right to
the use OF a certain type of water tube
boiler. 1t is expected that the competition

JUST IN TIME,
Rain Prevented the PhilIics From
Winning lesterday,s Game

Had the weather man delayed the deluge
tt 1t visited Philadelphia about haf-past 4
yesterday afternoon for another half hour
the Philadelphia team might have received
the credit for another victory in the table
that registers the daily results of the Ma
uonal League contests. Three innings had
been completed and Captain Cooley had en-
tirely forsaken the lethargy that so affected
him and his associates on the previous day
and was doing his utmost to expedite the
progress Of the game, and was also incit-
ing Umpire Snyder to accelerate the move
ments OF the Senators, in order that the i'm
pending electric storm might be anticipated
Cooieys efforts, however, were to no
avail, for during Washington's half of the
fourth inning, with two out, the rain sud
denly descended in torrents and the pIay-
ers were forced to seek shelter. Water fell
in such quantities that the field was soon
rendered unit for further playing, SO that
the game was declared off.
Both teams scored in the opening inning
After Setback and Wagner had been re-
tired on easy chances, Anderson banged at
the first ball that Orth pitched and tn.
sphere sailed gracefully out and over the
right field wall, and the tall outheIder COM
pleted the circuit at leisure. For the Phil
lies, Captain Cooley failed 10 locate the ba III
as II foated lazily by him, and on three at
tempts retired to the bench instructing
Douglas, the next man up, as to how to hit
Douglas followed his direction to the letter
and doubled 10 right center. Delehanty
then scratched a hit half way down the
third base line Lajoie reached first on balls
and Flick struck out. Mcfarland raised a
high fly to right, which the wind carried
far to the right, and which Gettman drou-
ped after long run, three men scoring
wagner threw Lauder out at first. This
was the extent of the scoring.
Even Break at Pittsburs.
Two games were played at Pittsburg yes
terday, the Cincinnatis getting the first by
to 3 and the second went to the Pirates
by to 2. Both games were gilt-edged con-
tests, being full of fine plays and good hit
ting. Steinfeldt played short in place of
Corcoran, for the Cincinnatis the latter
being out of the game on account of his in
jury last Sunday Hoffer, late of Balti-
more, pitched his first full game for Pitts
burg and won, although hit moderately
hard.

with the mayor and all aldermen
present except Aldermen Huebner.
A petition was resented to the
board asking for donation of
$1,000, to be used for sealing one
of the rooms of the public school.
A motion was made to grant the
petition, but there being no second
the motion was vas not put. a motion
was then made and carried that
action on the petition be deferred
until the next regular meeting,
The reports of the assessor and
collector were received and approx
ed, also reports of other officers.
The mayor stated that the bonds
of the assessor and collector and
the marshal hau Oeen nled.
The marshal was instructed to
notify the owners of the electric
light plant that the ashes and rub
Dish ON the city lot must be re-

However, the INDIANS we're nnaily
defeated, and the troops returned
to Walker, Minnesota, with their
dead and wounded, 1t is stated
that the loss Of this company was
heavier in this fight than it was in
the fighting before Santiago.
THE city council at it's last meet
ing made a move in the right di-
rection by agitating the water
works question. The present
system is entirely inadequate to
supply the town, and should be
enlarged and added to as speedily
as possible. A $4,000 gallon iron
tank would, we think, be sufficient
to supply the growing needs of the
town. This tank should be placed
on a steel tower, a.d the entire
cost of both need not exceed $4,000.
The additional pipes and mains
would of course BIZ extra. If there
is not sufficient money in the city
treasury to do this work, the money
might be raised by our property
owners and business men giving
their individual notes, say for from
$25 90 to 10000 each, on long
time, and be repaid by the city in
water service. The present system
is self-sustaining, and we are satis-
fed an enlarged system could be
placed on the same basis, and
indeed be made to pay profit to
the city, to be expended in further
improvements. Good fire protec-
ton will also reduce the rate of
insurance, and thus indirectly
profit everybody. The GAZETTE
hopes the board will keep this
question alive until something is
accomplished.
