steel. which tapers amidships from sixteen
and half inches at its upper edge to nine
and a half inches at it's bottom edge. 1t is
seven and a half feet deep, three feet above
ana four and a half feet below the water
line. This belt maintains it's full thickness,
as given, throughout the wake of the en-
CINE and boiler space and tapers gradually
to four inches at the bow. Astern Ii reaches

WASHINGTON is PLEASED.


WASHINGTON, July Pa great deal of
interest was taken by naval officers in
Washington in the run of the Kearsarge
from Portsmouth to Frenchman's bay. 1t
was estimated before the vessel left Eng
land that with good weather she would
make the run across the ocean within ten
days, and this prediction has been verified.
Estimating that she travelled about 5000
miles, the speed of the Kearsarge would
average approximately between Is Ito and
1874 knots per hour. While the run the
vessel just made is not at all remarka ble
yet 1t is very satisfactory for a heavy bat
tleship and indicates the engines were in
good condition.
Admiral Taylor, chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, speaking about the voyage to-
night, said:
This was no test of maximum speed pos
sible, but only a test of the usual running
under all boilers. 1t is customary in ordi-
nary cruising to use only about two-thirds
or three-fourths of the full boiler power
of the ship. All the boilers are used when il
Is desired to make better speed and sus-
tain it for a long period. while for short
periods of excessive speed forced draught
on the boilers is used. This is DONE how
strain on the boilers and on the endurance
of the firemen is very great. The bottom
of the Kearsarge. although not necessarily
very foul is not at its best condition be-
cause the vessel is not at present just out of
drydork'

Degenerate Servfan Prince.

VIENNA, July 26-The Universalist
Bucharest publishes sensational story Of
a plot to bring about union of Servia and
Bulgaria, which involves the deposition of
Prince Ferdinand and the substitution of
the Karageorgevitch dynasty and which
would also, according to the story, Incl
dentally result in the settlement of the
Macedonian question.
According TO the report a secret meeting
was recently held at Belgrade of Bulgarian
parliamentarians, prominent Servians and
Macedonians at which the details of the
scheme was agreed on. They are said to
include a military convention and a Gus
toms union. The plotters also are said to
have resolved to carry out their pro-
gramme, If POSSIBLE, by legal means, in
Guiding vote of the Bulgarian Parlia-
ment. The plotters are said to have argued
that such a united kingdom could over
throw Turkey. and the Macedonian troubles
and guarantee a greater future both for
Servia and Bulgaria.
The story is diScredited here, being re-
garded fantastical.

According to advices received at the De-
partment of Agriculture, Great Britain i'm
ported &c. 763. 349 bushels of wheat during the
six months, from Sept 1, 1892, to Feb.
Is. 1903. This is the largest importa-
ton of wheat into Great Britain for like
period ever known.
The imports of -four during the same
period were equivalent to 3195,950 quarters
t26,3I5,363 bushels) of wheat, making the
total importation of wheat and -four equiv
alent to u. 1885, os quarters C03 ll2 bush
els) OF wheat The flour import has often
been exceeded, but the imports OF wheat
were so heavy that the total importation
of wheat and flour somewhat exceeded all
previous records for the corresponding por-
ton of the year.
With a view to securing uniformity in
the publication of government statistics
having a relation to foreign commerce and
internal trade, the board appointed by Sec
rotary Cortelyou is now making a careful
inquiry into the best methods that can be
devised to bring about such a result. There
has always been more less conflict be-
TWEEN the reports of the Consular Bureau
and the Bureau of Statistics. The impor
lance of cooperation between these two
branches Of the government is felt, and
efforts have been repeatedly made hereto
fore, without success, to prevent them from
working at cross purposes. Ambitious
heads of each of these bureaus, striving for
the credit OF preparing accurate statistics,
have been unable to meet on q common
ground in reaching conclusions The Bu-
reau Of Statistics purports to give accurate
information as to both imports and ex-
ports TO and from the countries of the
world. Necessarily the Bureau of Statistics
has to depend upon the officials of the con-
sular service for reports, because bills of
lading on exports from the United States
do not always show the ultimate destina-
ton of merchandise. For example, goods
may be shipped to England intended for
one of the English colonies. Again,
mixed cargoes for number of ports will
leave this country in single bottom, but
will be distributed at different ports where
the ship touches. The same conflict has
arisen in the past between the Bureau of
ures on domestic production and domestic
trade. The board which Secretary Cortel-
you has appointed will arrange a system by
which there will be absolute cooperation
between the bureaus and through which
there will be no conflicting returns given
out i'm consequence of divided responsibility.
This will insure reliable reports for use in
commercial and trade circles.
