The trial OF the Holland November 0,
1899 showed her to be mp TO the require
ments OF the navy. The navy has another
submarine boat building at the Colum-
bian Iron Works.
During the last fiscal year 2sf, 100 toni
Of coal were purchased at total cost Of
u.t7o, 5l0.55. as compared with 45', SOL
tons purchased during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1898. ct a total cost Of
81. 12e, 0o5.ss.
The construction recommendations
made by the secretary are Ms follows:
First-Three armored cruisers Of about
1900 tons trial displacement, Of the
heaviest armor and most powerful ord
nanoe.
Ssoond-Twelve gunboats Of about 900
tors trial displacement.
Third-Three protected cruisers Of
about 5000 tons trial displacement car
rying the most powerful ordnance.
The consolida ton Of the three bureaus
Of construction and rerair, steam engi.
nsering, and Equipment. under one head,
Ia also recommended.
Other recommendations arc the retire
ment Of enlisted men. the increase Of the
corps Of naval constructors, ei,ilssngi-
ncers and medical corps
Regarding the naval reserves the report
Gays: at Is desmed TO be very impor-
tant that such a reserve, representing the
whole country and related directly to the
national navel establishment, should be
fostered and made ready for call"
There remain to be contracted for 1888
tons of arinor for the Maine. Ohio and
Missouri These vessels are now building,
and 1t is imperative that their armor
should be contracted for early In the
coming year; to delay It beyond that
time will In all probability delay the
completion of the vessels bsyoni the con
tract date of completion. Under existing
laws s4o0 ton may be Laii for armor
''of a suitable quality" for these vessels;
but 500 ton will not apparently buy
the best armor, which for such vessels IL.
of course, the only "suitable'' armor.
1t will probably buy armor made by
the ordinary process of face hardening,
which, though good, Is not the best, and
the department does not therefore con-
slider &c suitable for the VET s,ls In ques-
tion. Armor Of this kind was reluc ,antly
ordered for thu four new monitors, be-
cause the vessels were progrf ssing rapidly
aud the department. desired to avoid
the delays and embarrassment likely TO
arise IL their armor was not forthcoming
when required.
In addition to the 1898 tons of srmor
required for the Maine, Ohio and Missis-
sippi, there will be required about 5000
tons for the thIes BATH ships. and about
5, lOG tons for the three armored cruisers
authorized by the act OF March 3, 1899.
a total OF about u. 45s t,ns Of armor re-
ouifed In all, and not yet contracted for.

STRIKE AT CRAMPS sHnYARD
Several Men Arrested Charged
With melting Riots.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-Three of
the striking employees Of Cramps ship
yards and Business Agent John J..
Keedan of the international Associa-
ton of Machinists and Frederick Coun-
selman, Treasurer of the machinists'
organization, were to-day arrested and
held in $1,000 bail each, charged with
melting riots.
The strikers under arrest are Hugh
Boyd, Thomas Wilson and Joseph
Melon.
The direct cause of the arrests was
the refusal of the men to move away
from the vicinity Of the shipyard when
ordered to do so by the police. The
strikers claim this move was made to
offset the impending arrest of Cramp
Superintendent for whom a warrant
was issued last Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The
monthly report of the statistician of the
Department of Agriculture will state
that the most thorough investigation of
the cotton schedule that has been made
since 1895 has just been completed.
Special agents from the Washington
offices have visited all the principal
points in the cotton belt investigating
both acreage and production. Pend
ing the receipt of the final reports as
to picking due December LIST, no de-
tailed statement will be issued, but
the statistician states that on the basis
of the highest estimate of the area
under cultivation for which the de-
partment can find any warrant, 3D.
100000 acres, the crop cannot exceed
$500, 000 bales. This estimate is based
on the most complete and trustworthy
information.
