TRIALS OF BATTLE SHIPS.
Alabama and Massachusetts Showed
Good Speed.

In their progressive speed trials held last
week over the Barren Island triI course,
the battle ships Alabama and Massachus-
etts performed excellently, according to in
formation received at the Navy Depart
ment. AS already stated, these trials have
been inaugurated in order to ascertain
whether our big war vessels have deter
iorated in any respect since they were put
in commission, and il is stated that IN the
trials last week both the Alabama and
Kearsarge functioned splendidly at each OF
the speeds set, which ranged from six knots
up to the very highest notch, and involved
twelve runs for each of them over the
measured mile course off Barren Island.
The Massachusetts reached a speed or
15.9 knots running with the tide. This is
a fraction or two below the speed made on
her official trial trip, and while additional
data from the trial may alter that figure
furnishes good evidence that the Massa-
chusetts has not deteriorated in her speed,
for it is stated that poor quality Of coal
provided prevented her from making con-
siderably better time.
The Alabama made only 152 knots, buc
this was because she ran directly against
the tide and her corrected speed will prob
ably be 16 knots or over. Her engines and
other machinery worked most satisfactor-
lily. Naval officials are very much pleased
over the good work of these two vessels.

trade and our citizens with those Of all
other powers.
We view with lively interest and keen
hopes of beneficial results the proceedings
OF the Pan-American Congress, convoked at
the invitation of Mexico, and now sitting at
the Mexican capital. The delegates of the
United States are under the most liberal
instructions TO cooperate with their coll
leagues in all matters promising advantage
to the great family of American common
wealths, as well IN their relations among
themselves as in their domestic advance
ment and in their intercourse with the
world at large.
My predecessor communicated to the
Congress the fact that the Well and La
Abra awards against Mexico have been adj
Judged by the highest courts of our country
to have been obtained through fraud and
perjury on the part of the claimants, and
that in accordance with the acts of the Con-
gress the money remaining in the hands of
the Secretary of State on these awards
has been returned TO Mexico. A consider
able portion of the money received from
Mexico on these awards had been paid by
this Government to the claimants before
the decision of the courts was rendered.
My judgment is that the Congress should
return to Mexico an amount equal TO the
sums thus already paid TO the claimants.
Deaths OF European SOyereigns-
The death of Queen Victoria caused the
people of the United States deep and heart
felt sorrow. to which the Government gave
full expression When President Mckin-
ley died. our Nation in turn received from
every quarter of the British Empire express
sions of grief and sympathy no less sincere.
The death of the Empress Dowager Freder-
lex of Germany also aroused the genuine
sympathy of the American people; and this
sympathy was cordially reciprocated by
Germany when the President was assassi-
mated Indeed, from every quarter of the
civilized world we received, at the time of
the Presidents death, assurances of such
grief and regard as to touch the hearts of
our people In the midst of our aff1iction
We reverently thank the Almighty that we
are at peace with the nations of mankind;
and we firmly intend that our policy shall
be such as to continue unbroken these in
ternational relations of mutual respect and
good will.

The Assessors Once
A marked improvement in the husness
methods in the assessors office has at
tended the transfer to that official of the
special assessment division and of 81 nnuch
Of the business of the water registrars
office as pertains to water main assess-
ments. All assessments are now upon a
card index system, whereby the speedy ex-
animation Of the records of all assessments
is greatly facilitated.
The triennial assessment by the board of
assistant assessors will be completed Janu-
ary 6, 1902. The work of the board of
equalization and review will be finished in
the beginning of the month of June 1902.
and the new assessment will be the ha sis
Of taxation for the three years hesinninp
July 1, 1902. The new assessment will also
be placed upon the card index. for which
an appropriation Of $500 has been recon-
mended.
The preparation of the new system
brought to official notice many arrears of
by any law, the assessor deemed It well to
notify property owners of such arrears.
and the result has been the recent of a
large amount Of back taxes, Of which many
other evident result of the adoption Of the
system has been the prevention of dunli-
cate payment of taxes.
Collector Of Taxes.
The general taxes for the fiscal wear
which ended June 80, 1901, were collected
in one installment during the month Of
May last, pursuant to the requirements of
"An act to regulate the collection Of taxes
in the District Of Columbia, approved June
6, 1900." The amount collected was so7 :
81 more than the collections RECEIVED in
1900 under the two-installment system.
which seems to indicate that If there is anv
advantage 1t is on the side Of the one-in-
stallment plan.
The force under the control Of the col,
lector has for some years past been In
sufficient to perform the duties required
of 1t in manner satisfactory to the pub-
lie, and creditable to the office. The nor
NAL increase in business has far exceeded
the additions to the force provided to con-
duct It, The adaptation Of card systen
| to the several tax Offices has also irnposed
additional dutdes upon the collector. and
requires corresponding characterization at
his force. The collector In his annual re-
port for the fiscal year 1899, to which at

length the occasion for further assistance.
