The Board Of Directors OF the

night. Routine business was trans
acted. The only item Of public inter-
est is that the Board authorized adver-
tisements to be inserted in the three
leading daily papers Of the State invit-
ing bids for the construction OF the
new auditorium and boys dOrmit0ry
for 'he blind department, the Govern
ors COuncil having decided that the
erection of this building is a necessity.
The building is to cost go, 900 and ~ 900
will be expended for necessary equip
ments.
Sup't. Ray informs us that when the
fact became known to inmates OF the
institution that q new dOrmitOry would
be erected, their hearts were so glad
dened that cheers and shouts for the
Governor and his council were given
with such hearty will as to be almost
heard at the Governors mansion. Mr..
Ray is an earnest worker for the sue
cess and up building Of the institution.
Both the white and cOlOred depart
ments have a greater number OF pupils
than ever before, and when the school
opens next fall larger number can be
accommodated.

THE NEXT STEP
To Bring the New Ships Into Home
Waters

AZ 0IAuS tAo NOW SAAPS AAto Aomo
Waters
The next question is how to get the ships
home, and that has not yet been settled,
according to the secretary Of the navy.
The United States flag will be hoisted
over the new ships within a week, prob
ably, and Just as soon as the crew can be
put aboard the Amazonas will start for the
United States. The other vessel will follow
at the earliest possible moment. The terms
Of sale are secret.
The availability of the two Brazilian
ships was first brought to the attention Of
the navy department by Mr. Laine, agent
of the Maxim Nordenfeldt company, who
was authorized to dispose of these ships
building at Elswick, and two others in
course of construction in France. Mr..
Laine said today that the two ships pur-
chased would be most desirable acquisi-
ton to the American navy, as they were
the latest and best products of the famous
Armstrong yards. One of the ships Is COM
plete in every respect, has her coal supply
and ammunition on board, and steam can
be raised at any time. There will be no
trouble in bringing this ship across, as an
adequate force from the local yards can be
secured for the service. 1t is said the
coal and ammunition on board passed with
the sale to the United States. The ammu-
milton is not of the kind in use by the Amer
can navy, so that the supply of ammuni-
ton is a necessary adjunct to the new
ships. The other ship has been launched.
but 1t will take some time to make her
ready for sea. Mr.. Laine believes, how
ever, that there will be no difficulty in
bringing her over Immediately If 1t Is de-
sired to make the move without delay. az
the hull of the ship is SO well along that
she could be towed and her own sail power
utilized for the trip across.
ENGINEERS NEEDED
A dangerous deficiency in the engineer
branch Of the navy has been brought to
light strikingly in the fact that 1t is hardly
possible to secure a stan of engineer offi-
GERS to bring back to the United States
any of the ships purchased abroad. A
short time ago when orders were given to
rush the work of putting the cruiser Chi
cago in shape for active service the engin-
eer-in-chief proposed that he would have
the ship ready in three months insteado OF
six, as estimated. To do this he would
work forces day and night and to keep
them at work he would place an engineer
officer aboard the ship. to stay there day
and night. Passed Assistant Engineer
Dixon was chosen for tho work, hut he haa
not been employed more than, . week be-
fore it was found necessary to detach him
