Washington, Nov. 26.-The report
of Secretary of the Navy.Long for the
fiscal year ended June 30 last was
made public today. 1t begins with q
recital of the operations of the navy
in the Chinese campaign. with re-
gard to the navy personnel, the report
says;
1.-THE need of officers for sea duty is
steadily growing, and at times the de-
partment is seriously embarrassed by
lack of necessary officers Ito properly
man vessels required for immediate
service. This need will be still greater

navigation represents that it would be
impossible at the present time to man

to occur demanding such action. AT
tention is earnestly invitedto the state
ment that with tie completion of YES
sells now under CONSTRUCTION an immedi-
late increase will be needed in the en-
listed force of not less than 5000 men.
'ForImany years it has'been found
difficult to enlist a sufficient number of
the seamenclass to supply the demand,
To obviate this difficulty the depart
ment decided.to train its :own seamen
from raw material, and during the
past year has assigned five vessels to
the special duty of fitting landsmen
between the ages Of 81 and PC for the
higher naval ratings.
"This method differs from that of
the apprentice system, in that it opens
the door to the enlistment and immed-
late training ofyoung men who possess
little or no nautical knowledge or sea
experience, and gives them an oppor-
tnnity to acquire the habit of the sea
and knowledge of the practical me-
chanical appliances which are found
on board the modern man-of-war.
This has been carried out during the
past year to Il greater degree than
ever before, and the experiment has
been successful"

on arrival in the city was to be driven
to the grounds of the Exposition. The
remark quoted above was addressed to
Chairman John N. Scatcherd of the
executive committee of the Exposition,
who had told Senator Depew of the
progress made in the building of the
Exposition when they had met in Eu
rope last summer Mr. Scatcherd had
dwelt long and eloquently upon the
success which had attended the organi-
cation and construction of the EXPOSE
ton, and "Our Chauncey's" expecta-
lions were high. Nevertheless antlci-
pations are not equal to realization.
Looking upon the scene before him
from the sight Of the grand Triumphal
Bridge, he saw to his right the stately
proportions of the United States Gov
eminent buildings. to the left, across
the spacious ESplanade, the charming
architectural effects Of the Graphic
Arts, Horticultural and Mines build
ings, while the vast Machinery and
Transportation building, now almost
complete, was seen in the background
to the left. Opposite 1t, across the
Court OF Fountains, was the Manufac-
lures and Liberal Arts building, and
the Electric Tower could be seen ris-
ing skyward in the distance at the far
end of the vast court with the towers
and minarets of other buildings out
lined against the horizon. AS Mr.. De-
pew took in this impressive scene the
exclamation burst from his lips that
the half had not been told.
Later in the day the popular orator
addressed an audience which filed to
overlooking Buffalo's great Convention
hall. In the opening lines Of his speech
the speaker declared: six weeks ago
l was at the Universal Exposition at
Paris. Today went through the
grounds where your Pan-American Ex-
position is to be held. l felt that Buff

Some 30 or more American sculptors
Of renown are at work upon the deco
rative groups which are to have n
place at this Exposition. These are
to be nearly all original productions
under the master direction of Karl
Bitter. 1t will be the most elaborate
use of decorative sculpture ever under
taken at an Exposition, there being
more than 1875 groups. These will
adorn the fountains, bridges, entrances
to buildings and other salient points.
Besides the pools and fountains, with
In the several courts will be a grand
and stately canal which will surround
the entire group of buildings. In the
southern reaches of this canal are
artificial bodies of water known as the
Mirror Lakes, from which lagoons ex-
tend in several directions, thlckly set
with aquatic plants of rare species.
In addition to the sunl1en gardens
and other floral features of the courts
will be the horticultural exhibits In the
southern part of the grounds. These
will consist of several acres of beds of
the finest productions az the best nurs-
cries and greenhouses of the western
world. The competition for supremacy
will be very keen and the lover of flow
ers will have rare opportunity to
make comparison of the merits Of
the productions of competing growers.

II one may judge by the presence Of

A movement to interest the public
school teachers and public school pupils
in the Pan-Amercan Exposition to be
held at Buffalo next summer has been
started. 1t originated In some of the
public schools of Pennsylvania and is
being taken up elsewhere as the wis
dom of the plan becomes apparent. The
idea is to have the teachers in the pub
lie schools write essays for various oc-
cas!ons of an educational character on
the objects and aims of the Exposition
and the bearing that such display
will have on the commerce of the
world. a similar plan regarding the
Paris Exposition was found quite sue
cessful and resulted in the attendance
of a large corps Of teachers at that fair.
The plan contemplates also essays by
pupils. 1t is believed that in this way
much Information can be spread re-
garding the benefits to be derived from
cultiyating closer relations with the
different countries of this hemisphere
and that it would result in greater in
telligence among the public school
teachers and pupils on this subject as
well as larger attendance among this
class of the population Mt the EXPOSE

The Best of Service VIII He Pro-
vided.
The needs of the inner man will be
well attended to at the Pan-American
Exposition to be held at Buffalo from
May to Nov. l. 1901. At some exposi-
lions great mistake has been made
by not providing for good restaurants,
where satisfactory meals could be OBJ
tanned at reasonable prices. Either the
food obtained has not been of good
quality or prices charged have been ex-
orbitant or the facilities in some par
ticulars have been inadequate to the
occasion.
There win be good restaurants in diff
ferent parts of the grounds Of the Pan
American Exposition, so that it will
not be necessary for visitors to 20 out
side Of the grounds to secure a good
meal, well served. at a moderate price.
All tastes will be suited In the services
rendered, for there will he places
where meals will be served on an
elaborate plan to suit the most fas-
tidious taste and where prices viii be
In proportion to those charged at
high class restaurants in large cities.
There will be other places where the
meals will be cheap, but the food appe.
tizing and healthful and the surround
ings clean. There will be restaurants
in the beautiful building at the en-
trance to the Midway, another in
similar building at the entrance to the
Stadium, another in the Electric Tow
err which will be one of the great cen
tiers OF interest on the Exposition
grounds, and another on the Midway.
Refreshments will also be served H.
the Temple Of Music, which may be en-
joyed by visitors at the same time that
they are listening to the concerts in
progress in the auditorium. There will
also be New England Kitchen, a Ger
man restaurant, a Mexican restaurant,
an italian restaurant and other places
where various kinds of refreshments
will be served.

day sees some definite progress made

In the Pan-American Exposition. 1t is

that he writes to the Press Department
that he is about to come to Buffalo TO

will be accompanied by his family.
Many other editors of the Latin-Ameri-
