much Of the strenuous life lately" said
Freight Agent Redheld OF the Houston
East and West Texas to a Post reporter
yesterday. Tho rush is easing up now.
however, and we are getting more sleep
and are eating our meals with more regu-
larity. There seems to have been more
cotton contracted for shipment during
October and November this year than Tor
years previous. and the rush has been
immense. Especially was this true Of
October, but with the fast renewing ia
cilities for handling cotton at Galveston,
the rush is easing of. They Fave good
line OF steamers there now--better, l
believe, than they had this time last
year, and cotton is being started on lis
journey across the ocean in hurry. On
account OF scarcity of cars for time,
which affected all roads, the Houston
East and West Texas was forced TO ship
much cotton from Houston to Galveston
by the Direct Navigation company
barges While this detracted somewhat
from the profits of handling 1t, we were
able to get it out in good shape and keep
it moving"

REWARDS FOR GALLANT OFFICERS
Recommendations of the Annual
Report.
MANY MATTERS OF DETAIL

Secretary Long in his annual report. made
public today, reviews the operations and
needs OF the navy in interesting style He
recommends the revival of the grade of
vice admiral presumably for the benefit
of Rear Admiral Sampson in recognition of
his services during the Spanish war
Increase of the Navy.
The Secretary's recommendation for the
increase of the navy is probably the most
interesting feature of the report as it gives
the basis upon which Congress will soon
be called upon to act. Before reaching his
conclusions Mr.. Long secured the advice
of the &, neral board If the navy. over which
Admiral Dewey presdes. and also Of the
naval board on construction, made up of
the five rear admrals at the heads of the
several naval bureaus. Admiral Dewey s
board recommended an increase of two bat
tie ships, two arnorel cruisers, six gun
boats. two destroyers. three torpedo boats,
one transport and two training Ships The
board of construction recommended three
battle ships, two arr4ored cruisers six
small cruisers, ten light-draft gunboats.
three colliers, repair ship and transport.
Admiral Hichborn recommended two each
of battle ships, arnored cruisers and pro-
tected cruisers and twelve light-draft gum
boats.
Secretary Long compromises these va
riouS propositions and makes the following
recommendations to Congress:
'All the vesse.s thus recommended are
desirable in the prospective development of
our naval force. But in view of the number
of large fighting vessels already authorized
some of them hardly begun, the depart
ment is of opinion that Congress at its
coming session should be asked for only two
battle ships and two armored cruisers. all
OF the maximum displacement specified
that at least six light-drsft gunboats and
some small craft for river service are es-
peCialy desirable in connection with our
insuIar service, ard that the GOLFERS train
ing ships transport and repair ship are the
necessary accompaniment of the general
recent increase of the navy, both in its
fighting force and in the enlarged range OF
its operations. The department therefore
makes its recommendations in accordance
with this opinion"
Better system of Awards.
In a chapter advocating an improved sys-
TEN of rewards of officers for distinguished
or meritorious services Secretary Long
says:
1T is believed that a satisfactory remedy
for the evils growing out Of the present in
adequate and Objectionable system is to be
found in either of two measures which We're
put before Congress at its last session, and
are still awaiting action. One of these dc
the bill S. $50, Fifty-SiXth Congress. first
SESSION. provides simply that the advance
ment in rank of officers Of the navy and
