Equine Losses in War.

In all protracted wars the loss in

"A well-attended meeting was held last

previous meetings, stated that many new
members have signified an intention to
join the association, and that the success
of the enterprise appeared assured. He

AMERICAN NAVAL BOATS.
Standard Types Described by Chief
Constructor HichbOrn.

STANDARD Types of Boats of the United
States Navy is the title of a valuable pub
Hcation just issued from the construction
bureau of the navy, having been compiled
under the direction of Admiral Hichborn
chief constructor.
American naval boats are the best and the
swiftest in the world. and the American
jackies have proved their superiority IN
many memorable rowing contests with the
boats of every naval power in every port in
the world. This result has not been OBJ
tanned without effort. but. as disclosed in
the publication Just issued. has followed
from the utilization of the highest science
in boat building, supplemented by the prac-
teal experience of our naval captains and
OF the sailors who pull the oars. At last
the United States navy has thoroughly
standardized Its boats and the precious re-
suits have been embodied in the book which
is the first of its kind ever published by
any navy.
The principal reason for the publication
was desire on the part of the Navy De-
partment to provide in compact form all
of the information necessary to enable any
private boatbuilder to construct United
States naval boats with absolute accuracy
1t Is realized that in time of war the navy
yards, which now build the boats could
not begin TO meet the demand, and recourse
must be had to outside builders. In the
Spanish-American war the navy was peril
ously near the end of its resources In the
matter of boats. The army had used up
all of the boats OF the North Atlantic
squadron in landing near Santiago, and had
there been more naval operations after the
destruction of Cervera's fleet the lack of
boats would have been manifested As a
matter of fact. ii was only the forwardness
of the construction bureau in building a

REPORTED FRICTION.
Difference of View Between Naval Of

Naval gossip is active over reported fric-
ton between Rear Admiral ONeil, chief Of
the bureau of ordnance and Rear Admiral
Crowninshield. chief of the bureau of navi-
cation, in regard to the methods Of the last
named officer in the selection of officers for
sea duty. There has always been more or
less discomfort in the service over the as

case it is charged by Admiral O'Neil, SO it
is said, that the chief of the bureau of nayi-

According to one authority Rear Admiral
CroWninshield reminded Rear Admiral

sea service, and that the duties of some ~
them could easily be performed by civilian
clerks.
In view of the improbability of favorable
action by Congress on the proposition for a
material increase in the personnel of tho
navy, 1t is likely that many of the officers
