COMING NAVAL EXPERIMENT

Rear-Admiral Bradford, chief Of the
Naval Bureau Of Equipment, who is
charged with coaling stations and the
purchase Of all fuel consumed on war
ships, with that enterprise which has
characterized all his work for the i'm
provement Of the service, notably re-
sulting in the equipment Of Tortugas
and Pago Pago, Hawaiian Cavite
with automatic machinery of the high
est type for quickly filling the bunkers
Of vessels, has induced the navy de-
partment to lend him the battleship
Massachusetts next week for an ex-
haustive test Of a new system Of coal
ing at sea, which promises to be Of the
highest importance. The bunker ca
pacity of almost every American war
ship especially in those vessels design
ed before the Spanish war, when the
importance Of the matter had not re-
ceived its proper weight, has been
found far too small for the length Of
cruises demanded by the necessity Of
the case.
The lack Of coal drove Dewey's fleet
from Mrs Bay to Manila and kept 1t
there 1t caused Sampson's fleet to
retreat from San Juan, Porto Rico and
came near compelling Schley's flying
squadron to abandon the blockade Of
Santiago. The experiment was tried
during the war Of taking coal from
collier fastened alongside, but this was
impractcable except ip smooth water,
and was fraught with too much danger
to be attempted on the high seas. At
one time 1t was proposed to send Wat
sons fleet with number Of colliers 10
menance the coast Of Spain, but for
tunately, perhaps, Spain agreed to-
peace at that moment.
Rear-Admiral Bradford during the
last month has fitted the collier Mar
celius at New York with all the neces-
sary apparatus to prove the merits and
demerits, in actual practice at sea, of a
system which is constantly seen ashore
in public works Of any magnitude par
ticularly in canal excavations and rail-
way building, and which gives every
promise Of success. 1t involves the en-

London Gem.
Some time ago newspaper stated
that Mr.. A. j. Balfour, NJ. p, had been
presented by a certain institution in
Scotland with pair Of Silver mounted
caddies," and was promptly made the
butt Of It's witty contemporaries who
explained that clubs" only could be
Silver mounted" and that "caddles"
were men, attended at golf links to
act as gentlemens "gillies or funk
eys." The newspapers blunder how
ever, was very easy to correct, and
probably its contemporaries knew little
more about "caddies" than It did itself.
The term caddies or "cadies," or
"cawdies," Is akin 10 "cad" and "ca-
det," and means messengers or unat-
tached male servants. Caddles, in
fact, were originally class Of men,
found in every Scottish town Of any
size, who were at the beck and call Of
everybody who was starting for a game
Of golf, and now, thanks to the organi-
zatlon Of labor, they are employed sole
ly by the golfer.

Then Admiral Simpsons New York
was sought out. while along the line Of
warships, starting with the Olympia,
red and white signal lights winked bus
lily, passing the word to give the choral
union a fitting reception. But,
whatever the signals, the New York s
crew gave the singers a warm welcome
as they approached, singing The Bat
tie Hymn of the Republic. y
The New York's searchlignss were
turned on the singers and they cheered
for Sampson and were answered with
cheers by the crew. Then somebody on
the Warwick called out Three cheers
for Admiral Schley," and the answering
shout was fully as loud as that which
went before. Then followed the Hymn
of Thanks sHalleIujah Hymn, -
America, and THE Star Spangled
Banner"
Rear Admiral Howison's flagship, the
Chicago, was next visited The anchor
watch only was on deck, but they

New York Looking at the Demon

New York, Sept 2S-The amount of
ready cash to be brought to the city
this week by visitors to the Dewey cele-
bration is the subject of discussion in
Wall street. A we'll known bank nresi-
dent estimated that from $1,000 900 to
S10,000,000 would be spent during the
week. This world be brought mostly in
the form of small bills, adding mater
tally to the cash holdings of the local
banks.
Never in the history of the New York
postotfice have the money order pay
ments aggregated as large an amount
as at the present time. Superintendent
Elliott of the money order division, re-
ceived the postmaster generals check
on, Tuesday for $500. 900. to meet, with
other funds, the extraordinary de-
imands of the New York office. The
combined transactions of the interna-
tional and domestic money order sys-
TENS were SO great on Tuesday as to
necessitate a deposit of s39S.545 by the
money order department of the New
York Office with the Seventh National
bank. This is about the largest deposit
ever made by the money order division
with local bank. Most of the money
was on account of Cuban money orders,
but the domestic money order system
has also shown an increased business.
