NEW SHIPS WILL BE
ADDED TO THE NAVY.
Submarine Boats May be Built in
the Secretary's Discretion.

the Secretary's Discretion.
Washington, Feb. 19.-At the end of
a protracted session the House to-
day passed the naval appropriation
bill.
A great many amendments were Of
fered to the provisions relating to the
increase of the personnel and the au-
thorization of new ships to be built.
The most important amendment adopt
ed was one to authorize the Secretary
of the Navy in his discretion to pur-
chase or contract for submarine tor
pedo. boats, after investigation of their
merits, and apropriating 100000 for
that purpose. The amendment was in
the language of a bill introduced by
Mr.. Hill of Connecticut and it was
stated on the floor that it had the sup
port of all the members of the Naval
Committee. 1t was adopted practi-
cally without debate. The words au-
thorizing the construction of the new
ships by contract" were stricken out
Amendments were adopted, requiring
the use of domestic machinery and ma
terials in the ships and authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to construct the
ships in government yards in the event
of combination of bidders.
Mr.. Gaines, Democrat, of Tennessee
raised point of order against the APP
preparation of $10,OOO,O0O for domestic"
armor, but it was overruled.
This is, Mr.. Gaines said, comment
ing on the ruling of the chair, and ad-
dressing the Republican side, the foul
est trust you ever pressed to your bos-
ON. daughter on Republican side.)
AS passed, the bill provides for three
new battleships, one armored cruiser,
two steel training ships and one wooden
brig for training purposes. in addition
to the submarine boats discretionary
authorized.
The increase in the personnel of the
navy went through as reported by the
committee, an effort made by Mr..
Kitchin of North Carolina to limit the
increase to two midshipmen for each
senator and representative to the peri
% between now and 1911, having been
voted down.
The House adjourned until tomorrow.

r. Washington, much to his annoy
ance.
II was afraid to sit beside him at
first" Dr. Grayblll continued, but /
got used to 1T after l heard him speak.
K was one of the best addresses / ever
heard which he delivered. 1t was such
that it touched everybody. However

THREE WERE KILLED
BY POWDER EXPLOSION.
Terrible Accident i'm Fort Lafay-
cite, New York Bay.


New York, Feb. 19.-Three men were
killed outright, one man so injured
that he died later, two other men ia
tally and at least seven seriously hurt
in an explosion i'll the work room of
the naval storage magazine at Fort
Lafayette IN New York bay about .
o'clock this afternoon.
The dead are: George Rotham,
Brooklyn; Gustave Dozier Bay
Ridge; John Mason, Brooklyn, and an
unknown man, thought to be Martin
Thargensen, Brooklyn.
The injured, so far as known: w. H.
Nangurp, Brooklyn; Charles j. Muller,
Brooklyn; f. B. Muller, Manhattan;
Frank Munden, address unknown.
All the dead and injured were
worElnen at the fort.
The explosion could be heard for
miles around. Accounts as to how the
fatal blast was set off differ.
One report has it that the men were
filling a 13-inch shell, while another is
that the men were removing a powder
charge from a shell, and undertook to
unwind a fuse connecting the powder
chamber with the percussion cap. This
caused sufficient friction to set off the
cap and explode the shell.
Maj. Powell, chief surgeon at Fort
Hamilton, was among the first to reach
the scene of the catastrophe, and with
fort troops removed the dead and in
jured from the wrecked magazine.
Ambulances and surgeons were also
summoned from Brooklyn.
The work of identifying the dead and
injured was difficult, because of the
distorted features, blackened by pow
der burns. Fort Lafayette is an old
fort in the Narrows.

WHO ARE THE EIGHT THOUSAND?
Some Facts Showing the Value of Education.
BY w. w. SMlT H, A. M, LII. D.

The second edition of who's Who in
America" contains 300 pages of brief
biographies, without eulogy criticism
or comment, of such persons now liv-
ing in America as have become noted
as factors in the progress and achieve
ment of the age. "Endeavor has been
made" say the editors, ito include all
Americans of more than local note in
all lines of useful effort" No name is
inserted or omitted for financial con-
siderations: the book is sold on its
merits.
With a view to determining what eff
feet education of the various grades
has had on success in life, effort was
made to ascertain the school training
of each of these men and women ''of
more than local note and 1852 on their
United States list were thus education
ally classified.
According to the best estimate we
can make from the latest census re-
turns there are in the United States
40, 49,, 007 persons over 81 years old.
These are divided educationally about
as follows:
Glass /. Without school train
Ing OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 4,boz,4 AVS
Glass 2. With only common
school training ...............3 81, S62,Sol
Glass g. With common and
high school training ....... 2,165, S57
Glass 4. With college or higher
education added ............ 1.071, pol
Now the question is, how many of
the 5000 distinguished citizens of the
The Savannah morning news., 1903-01-04

United States on the Who's Who list
came from each of these classes.
The 4,6S2 49S of class l furnished =. 81
The 81, S62, 901 of Glass furnished. sos
The 2,165.S5T of class furnished Il, 245
The 1,011. POI of class furnished IS, 76S
1t thus appears:
First That an uneducated child has
one chance in 100000 of attaining dis
tinction as a factor in the progress of
the age.
Second. That a common school edu-
cation will increase his chances nearly
four times.
will increase the chance of the COM
on school boy twenty-three times, CIV
ing him eighty-seven times the chance
of the uneducated.
Fourth. That college education
increases the chance of the high school
boy nine times, giving him PIG times
the chance of the common school boy
and more than 500 times the chance of
the unframed.
1t is a surprising fact that of 1852
"notables" thus gathered, 4,S10 proved
to be full graduates of colleges.
From the nature of the case it can
not be claimed that these figures are
exact, but they are based upon the
most reliable government statistics
and the necessary estimates have been
made with care. It is also doubtless
true that other circumstances con-
tributed to the success of these college
trained men, but after all reasonable
allowances are made the figures still
force the conclusion that the more
school training the child has the
greater his chances of distinction will
be.

Lord Miners hand. There were
cheers and loud calls for a speech, but
Mr.. Chamberlain contented himself
briefly thanking Lord Miner for the
