Trial of the Kearsaree.

The report of the naval inspection board
upon the final two days sea trial Of the
kcarsarge leaves the question of the super
posed turrets still open. In its report the
board says:
THE four guns in the forward turret
were fired simultaneously at 1000 yards
range. and three of the projectiles appar-
emily fell in the same place. One fell about
300 yards behind, but in line.
THE four guns Of the after turret also
were fired simultaneously, and in this case
three of the projectiles apparently fell in
the same place. One eight-inch projectile
fell to the right. During the tests the blast
from the eight-inch guns in the superposed
tUrrets did not inconvenience the people in
the thirteen-inch turret."
The automatic one-pounders in the mill
tary tops, when fired, vibrated and jumped
SO as to make further firing dangerous.
Tl:ey will be replaced with lighter guns.
The board found no defects in hull or
machinery of the Kearsarge.

BRISTOW CUTS DOWN EXPENSES.
Cuba's Postal Service Almost on Self
SustRinin& BnAis.

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bris-
tow, acting director of posts in Cuba, says
he will probably complete his special work
in connection with the department to
be able to leave the island June % He has
decided upon definite plan of reorganiza-
ton, reducing the amount paid to officials
to level with those paid in the United
States. The schedule to be adopted will in
crease salaries in Matanzas. Cardenas and
Santa Clara and decrease them in Santiago,
Pinar del Rio, Porto Principe, Sancu Spir-
titus, Caibarien and ManZanillo. There Will
be change in Cienfuegos or Sagua la
Grande
The reorganization of these offices will
effect a saving of S11.70O year. and posi-
bly, more, when the inspectors shall have
completed their Investigations. The greatest
saving. however, will be effected in the
smaller offices, where large salaries have
been paid irrespective of the amount Of
business done. Radical changes will be
made in many of these. especially where
Americans have been employed and where
salaries ranging from $1,000 to 81. 400 are
beyond what the receipts justify. Two hun
dred and eighty of these small offices will
be reorganiZed, with a total annual saving
Of $4,000, making the total for the island
$4,000. This amount. added to reductions
formerly made, gives grand total Of
$4,000.
Mr.. Bristow says the experience of the
last two weeks, since these reductions went
into force, shows that the department has
not suffered the slightest Inconvenience. In
fact he believes the reduction has added to
the efficiency Of the clerks, and without
overworking them. In 1899 miscellaneous
expenses amounted to $4,000 Mr.. Bristow
believes they can be covered with less than
$4,000. For instance, printing and sta
tionery last year cost $780, 900, whereas they
should not have cost more than $4,000. In
many cases bills were paid twice.
Tn or5i-
nary years the figures would not exceed
$1,000, and would possibly fall beneath that
sum- There was also an expenditure of
$4,000 for per diem allowances for employ
es. This will be entirely done away with
Beginning with the fiscal year. July ],
there should be a saving of $4,000 De-
Quoting this $4,000 for the additional trans
portation of mails, there should be left a
net reduction of 100000. Mr.. Bristow be-
lfeves that reduction in other quarters can
be made, thus making the service as nearly
self-supportfng as possible. Last year the
gross expenditures were $612, 900, and the
gross receipts s25O,O0o. Postal receipts now
amount. at fair average. to 81 900 a day,
and the gross receipts for the year should
be S365.000 or $4,000 more than c. F. w.

Chairman Jones' Statement as t
Kansas City Hotels.

Kansas City Hotels.
A dispatch from Kansas City last night
says: Six members of the democratic ma
ttonal committees subcommittee on ar
engagements for the Kansas City convention
held brief meeting here today The mem
bers came particularly to investigate the
oft-repeated charges that the Kansas City
hotel keepers are demanding extortionate
rates for the entertainment of convention
guests. Before the subcommittee left
Kansas City this evening National Chair
man James K. Jones issued a statement
to the country in which he gives assur-
ance that not only can accommodations
be had at reasonable rates. but that, as
the situation appears to him, convention
visitors to Kansas City may be taken
care of at more reasonable rates than has
been the case al any former convention.
The subcommittee also carefully inves-
ugated the progress being made in the
building of Convention Hall. Some fear
was expressed by members of the com
mittee that the great hall could not be

night shit of mechanics put to work upon
the building: but after the subcommittee
had been in conference with the local COM
mittee and the supervising architects they
no ,onger doubted the assurance that the
hall would be finished in time.
The meeting of the subcommittee was be-
hind closed doors. After the adjournment
1t was stated that the only business Of pub
lie interest transacted was the apportion-
ment of tickets Of admission to the con-
Vention among the delegates and alternates
II was decided that each of the $50 dele
gates should receive besides his own seat
four tickets of admission to all sessions Of
the convention, but that no extra tickets
would be given to the alternates, their per
quisites being limited to a seat in the con-

Strange Illness of Marines.

The report of the surgeon in charge at
the Norfolk navy yard upon the recent
strange illness Of the marines there has
been received at the Navy Department.
AS indicated in the press reports, 1t shows
that the men were made sick by SUD-
den change Of the weather; by water to
which they were unaccustomed: and per-
haps by the diet to which, being new to
the station, they were unaccustomed. II
any unfit article Of food was instrumental
in causing the illness, that fact could not
be ascertained. 1t does not appear that
any officer was responsible for the affair.
