REPORT ON THE KENTUCKY.
A Good Deal of Extra Work Remains
to Be Done.


The report of the naval trial board on the
battle ship Kentucky, just submitted to the
Navy Department. shows that the ship was
generally in excellent condition. There was
some fault found with the electrical firing
appliances of one turret. which prevented a
simultaneous firing of the four guns there
in. But the other turret appliances worked
perfectly. The board holds that the pc
Rod Of time allowed between the commits
sioning of the ship and the final accept
ance trial is too short to fully develop the
needs of the ship. and points out in conse-
Quence the necessity for good deal Of ex-
ira work remaining to be done to finish the
Kentucky.
The board says:
1.-The board again desires to specially
bring to the departments attention the fact
that the benefits intended to be obtained
by the government as result of the final
trial of the vessel were not forthcoming.
the vessel being to all intents and purposes
fresh from the hands of the builders. In
stead of the department having the benefit
of five months test OF the vessel in all its
appurtenances and fittings under service
conditions with the consequent opportunity
to develop defects and remedies for same,
the trial board was inspecting new and
untried vessel under conditions of hull. ma
chinery, etc. which more properly pertain
ed to first acceptance trial than those
which should be required for the final ac-

CHARENTUs DEFEATS. IMP.
Great Race in Which the LiEhtyveigh hit
Horse Finishes First.

Imp and Rush, the fastest mares Of the
season, met at Sheepshead Bay yesterday.
Imp had the top weight, 100 pounds, in
the Long Island handicap. one mile and a
furlong, with Rush carrying the next
weight, 11S pounds, and they started favor
ties in the order named. Rush ran disap-
pointingly, but Imp, though beaten. per-
formed with all the speed and gameness
that has made her famous, and racing in
the first division to the end, was barely
beaten by horse to whom she was con-
ceding thirty-one pounds, CharentuS, six
years old, with only ninety-nine pounds,
barely lasting long ss enough to beat her out
and the starters so-called assistants

man to each horse, until they were almost

worst of the delay. In addition a high
wind was blowing, and further hampered
finally fell. Grayfeld and Charentus made
rush for the lead. but Imp went with
them. and, running Tapped with the light
weighted Charentus from the turn into the
backstretch, hung with him to the end.
Through the stretch both were hard ridden.
Grayfeld then closing in on them. but with
all the task OF pacemaking. Imp and Cha

post half length apart. Charentus first Imp
second. and Grayfeld third. The time was
q second slower imam the track record, Dut,
considering the delay at the post. the wind,
and the weight she carried, Imp's race was
a most remarkable one.

three winners in Kamara. Charentus and

Canadian Troops
Leave For The War.

Amid great display of patriO-
tism the first section of the second
Canadian contingent embarked on
the Laurentian for South Africa.
These men were recruited from On
tario, Nova Scotia and New Bruins
wick, and thousands of people came
to the city to witness the embarka
tion. General Hutton, comman-
ding the the Canadian militia, ms
pected the troops, and with Sir Ma
lachi DAILY, Governor of Nova Sco-
tia, praised the patriotism which
prompted them to give up home and
friends for Queen and Empire. As
the Laurentian hauled off from the
wharf, General Hutton called for
three cheers and " May We meet on
South African battlefields."
A warm demonstration took place
in the harbor, led by the CONNER
cial Gable Company's steamer Mac.
kay Bennett. The Mackay Bennett
was decorated with bunting and flew
a huge union jack and an equally
large American flag. When the Ca
BILE steamer sighted the transport
through the fog, her commander
gave a signal by whistle, and sa-
lutte was fired. The other ships took
up the chorus, sounds of whistles,
rockets, and guns filling the air.
Hearty cheers We're given from the
cable ship, and we're answered from
the transport. Then the cable COM
pany's crew sang "God Save the
Queen"
The second transport will sail on
Thursday, and the Milwaukee on
February 10. Lord Strathoona has
cabled the Minister of Militia, pla-
cling in his hands the work of re-
cruiting the four hundred men whom
he is to equip. They must be nor

riders.

Some government ought to be
established, or something ought to
be done, that would permit a COVER
ming body to be installed, so that
confidence can be restored to the
island and the people can look for
Ward to something with certainty;
so that industries can be revived /;
that, if it should be thought advisa-
BILE to extend substantial aid to the
people, it may be arranged either
by taxation or by loans, or by both.
The Fl uatiOn is now quite unsatiS-
factory, and an improvement in this
respect is very greatly to be desired.
The island has no debt, fortunately;
l think about the only land on the
earth of considerable size-of a mi.
lion populatiOn-that has no debt;
| do not know of another, except
Cuba-and | believe Spain thinks
Cuba has a debt. But Puerto Rico
has none, and it could very readily
obtain credit if it had the authority
to make the obligations. Unless it
has financial assistance from some
source, continual industrial paralysis
must characterize the future.
In regard to the foreclosure of

as short lived strikes and cold wea.
ther, the work has gone forward re-
gularly, as planned from the begin.
ming.
The interest foreign countries are
taking in the exposition is greater
than ever before, and this naturally
gatifies us much. If there had been
at our disposal another square mile
of space it would have been easy to
parcel it out among the unsatisfied
foreign sections alone. There is
every indication that the attendance
of foreigners will be enormous.
The interest taken in the United
States and the energetic way the
American commission has worked
from the very first are worthy of es-
pecial mention. We take this TO be
sing that the lAmerican contingent
Of visitors will be very large.

Extracts From Gen.
George w. Davis
Statement Be-
fore The House Com
mittee On Insular
Affairs.
General Davis said :

A)W'AO oesAA
One of my first measures when |
took command of Puerto Rico was
to substitute the four Secretaries in
charge of Civil administration for
boards on which both Puerto Rican
and Americans are represented, the
majority being sometimes one way
and sometimes the other. Entire
satisfaction, from my point of view,
has resulted from this change, and
better administration seems to nave
resulted.
One subject of great Importance
is the Judiciary. A complicated
system of procedure existed; after
long consultation, the leading law
yers and judges, speaking through a
Judicial Board, recommended a re-
vision of the system of procedure.
I General Davis then outlined the
present judicial system.
The industrial condition of the Is
land as found it was not satisfac-
tory and this was due to some easily
recognized causes.
One was that a bad industrial 81
tuatiOn was inherited. The other
resulted from the change of severe
ignty, for by it markets we're lost
for Puerto Rico that had been theirs
previously. Spain formerly gave to
her colonies preferential rates of du-
ty. When Spain lost Puerto Rico
the Island lost that privilege, and
large quantities of exports which
had formerly found ready markets.
in Spain we're practically excluded
therefrom.
The disturbance of trade cOndi-
tions by the change of sovereignty
and the further disturbance By the
calilnity of August last has left the
Island in a very grave industrial ST.
tuatiOn.
In regard to a future Civil Govern
ment for Puerto Rico, which can
only be ordered by Congress, have
given it great deal of thought.
For the present it seems to me des-
irable to give to the people Of Pto'
Rico some opportunity to show their
capacity for an exercise of political
privileges and responsibility. Il
has seemed to me that the Island
should have representation in le'
gisIatiye Council; but think such q
body ought to have a majority o.
persons appointed by the President
SO that we may be sure that the
control would not pass into tbs
hands of persons who would use i
Improperly.
