A SCHOOL ON SHIP.
a Good Plan for a Preparatory Course for
Navni Onicers.

Lieutenant Charles III. Harlow. one
Of the brightest officers in the Amer-
can navy, who was special commission
er to Chile and Bolivia for the Worlds
Columbian Exposition and has spent
\ good part Of his term of service as
instructor at the naval academy and
Oh the scholarships Alliance and Essex.
has developed novel scheme for the
education of boys and their preparation
for the United States naval or military
academies and other institutions of
learning, and at the same time to give
them in broad experience and knowl
edge of the world and its affairs which
can be acquired only by extensive and
Intelligent travel.
He proposes to equip Il steel vessel Of
1000 tons with both steam and sail
power, and every comfort, convenience
and improvement known to modern
shipbuilding, and make it a cruising
school with chaplain, surgeon, who
will be a specialist in physical culture,
and a corps of instructors in the va
rious branches of learning. a complete
course will cover period of four years
and include n visit to every country in
the world. A new class will be entered
each September; the term will extend
from Septemer 18th to June 10Th, dur
ing which time there will be instruc-
tion of some sort every day. The
cruises will be so arranged that the
ship will avoid stormy regions and be
in perpetual sunny weather.
While in port the cadets will visit
all places of interest in charge of the
professors, and each country and place
will be the subject of study and lee
lures in addition to the regular course
of study, which will be similar to those
followed in the high schools and pre-
paratory schools of the country. The
cadets will be organized similarly to
those at the naval academy, with the
same discipline and drill.

Washington, May S.-The senate
concluded its consideration of the ma
val appropriation bill with the excep-
ton of the section relating to armor
aud ornaments. A number Of minor
bills were passed, among them one to
reimburse collectors of internal reve-
nue. for stamps charged against them
but not accounted for. The debate on
the naval bill was practically con-
fined to the paragraph relating to the
commissioning of naval cadets. The
amendment striking out the PROPOSE
ton in the house bill which sought to
commission the cadets at the expira-
ton of the four years term at the
naval academy and abolishing the pre-
liminary two years at sea was carried
after a warm debate.

man Is. O., speaking of the resolution
he offered several days ago calling up

chief of the bureau of ordnance. had
been conducting for several months a
series of tests of all sorts of armor. in
Guiding krupp armor, with view to
ascertaining their effectiveness against
new shell that had been invented by
an officer of the navy. No piece of
armor submitted to the test. It is I'M
derstood, will be able to withstand it.
Shells fired from high power guns
penetrated the armor almost as bullets
from rifles would pentrate green wood.
The argument Of senator Tillman is
of which will sooner or later become
known to other governments
it would not be wisdom
for congress to enter into
contracts to purchase high-prlced
armor unless it could be so improved
as to resist projeetiles of the kind useu

William Crowninshield Endicott,
secretary of war in President Cleve-
lands first administration and one of
the foremost lawyers and orators Of
the east, who died in Boston of pneu-
monia Sunday, had been in i'll
health for several years. He was
born in Salem Nov. 10, 1926, the son
of William PutLall Endicott and Mary
(Crowninshield) Endicott. His father
was a descendant of John Endicott,
first governor of the Massachusetts
colony. He was graduated from Har-
ward with the class of 1S47. Soon after
he studied law in the Harvard law
school and began practice in Salem in
1851. He was appointed to the SUI
preme court bench of Massachusetts
in 1873 and held his position until
1888, when he resigned on account OF
his health and made an extended tour
in Europe. IN the state elections of
1871, ~ and '73 Judge Endicott was
candidate for attorney general and in
1870 ran for congress on the democrat
cratic candidate for governor of Mass
achusetts, but he did not appear in
the canvass and consequently received
a small vote. In 1885 he became sec
rotary of war in the cabinet of Presi-
dent Cleveland. He was a member
of the Cass Historical society and of
the board of overseers of Harvard col
lege He resigned from the Harvard
corporation in 1895. Politically Mr..
Endicott was Of wing antecedents, his
atiiliation with the democratic party
dating from the Bell-Everett cam
paign in 1860. Mr.. Endcott, although
appointed secretary of war by President
Cleveland, had no other military ex-
perience than that of captain of
militia company. He appeared at his
best as a lawyer during the trial Of

sisted of two children, William c. and

Nov. 10, 1883, to Joseph Chamberlain
of Birmingham, England, British

of his family was the Israel Putnam
