NEW OFFICERS FOR NAVY.
Sixty Men with ShOulder-Strapst to BE
Graduated from Naval Academy
at Annapolis.

There will be an addition to the
navy of 60 new officers. Secretary
Long has authorized the graduation on
May 1 of the present first class at the
naval academy. This means the COM
missioning as ensign of so naval ca
diets, who under ordinary circum-
stances would not Ne graduated until
July /. For some time there has been
great trouble over the scarcity of Off
GERS. There have not been enough to
perform the ordinary duties at sea,
and while congressman have been anx-
ious to have their friends assigned to
shore duty or kept home from sea
duty, they have publicly berated the
navy department for not keeping naval
officers at sea all the time.
1t began to look as if naval officers
on foreign stations, notably those
with the Asiatic squadron, would not
be able to come home for five or six
years, the regular tour of duty being
but three years.
With the graduation of the naval
cadets two months earlier than usual
it will also be possible to send some
of the officers who are instructors at
Annapolis to sea for duty on boa I'd
ship. There are Is of these officers
who may be SO detailed.

! STARTS ON LONG VOYAGE,
Titus, n SeagOing Tug Has Left New
York to Make SoundinEs for
the Pacific Cable

To take soundings in the Pacific
ocean from near San Francisco to the
Hawaiian islands, thence to the La
drones, and from there to the Philip
pines, for the projected Pacific cable,
the Titus, 120-ton sea-going tug, has
just left New York. Stops probably
will be made at Valparaiso and Pan
ANA. One Of the government most
trusted transport captains, who has
knowledge Of soundings and mathe-
MATES, took the Titus out.
He expects to begin soundings about
the end of April, and to complete this
task by the end of May. For ascer-
tanning depths, a new device will be
used. 1t is large iron cylinder, topped
by cone, containing air. and is her
metically sealed, except when the cylin-
der is immersed. Then water, flow
ing into the cylinder and through a
tube, has access to the cone containing
the air.
Working on the principles of by
draulics and gravitation, it is possible
to drop the cylinder to a reasonable
depth, and the pressure is indicate ed
on dial attached to the cone. When
the cylinder is drawn up, by taking the
pressure and the depth, and making
the proper computations, the tota
depth of the sea at that point is de-
termined
Soundings will be taken every hall
hour, with the tug going at a speed
OF about six miles an hour. It is not
expected that a greater depth than
5000 feet will be found on the course

Organization Just Effected Mt I1ondon

Sides of Atlantic.

The new Anglo-American club is to
be opened almost Immediately in Pic
cadilly, the house selected being quite
close to Devonshire house, cables the
London correspondent of the New
York Herald. 1t is to be fairly smart
club, without the exclusiveness of the
Bachelors, the Marlborough or the
Turf.
Some very well-known men of posi-
ton on both sides of the Atlantic are
on the committee. The duke of Aber-
corn is one of the Englishmen referred
to, and Senator Chauncey NJ Depew, on
the American side. All the members
OF the Union, the Knickerbocker and
the Metropolitan clubs, of New York.
as well as the other leading clubs of
America, will be admitted without bal
lot.
Great things are expected of this
club, as it is thought it will be great
convenience to American men who
have not the use of club house in
London of any importance.
The club will be in working order
before the coronation. A splendid site
ought to be obtained. The premises,
up to the present, have been used as
hotel and restaurant, but not with
