REPORT OF ADMIRAL RAE
Chief vi the Bureau of Steam Engi-
neering of the Navy Reports.
Several Recommendation Made, In
cluding improvements At the
Various Navy Yards.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The annual re-
port of Rear-Admiral C. w. Rae. chief
of the bureau of steam engineering, for
the fiscal year ended June 80, last,
says:
The report of the liquid fuel board
when published, will be of inestimable
benefit TO the manufacturing, maritime
and naval world. and will show the
ar-reaching benefit Of careful, con
scientious and extended experimental
investigation. Neither in extent nor
in character have these tests been
equaled, either at home or abroad,
and the bureau feels assured that when
the results of the experiments are
made known that the necessity and ad-
visibility Of conducting extended inves-
tigation in other directions will be
made manifest"
The report earnestly requests the de-
tails of junior line officers as assistants
to the naval inspectors Of material, In
order that the training that they would
receive may fit them for the important
duties of inspectors in charge.
Reviewing the needs of the bureau
at the different yards, the following
recommendations are made for the
yards named
Portsmouth, n. H., entire set Of
buildings for the bureau; Boston, pow
er plant; New York several new build
ings; League Island, additional tools,
Norfolk auxiliary machine shop; Mare
Island appropriation for remaining
buildings proposed for the new plant;
Puget Sound pattern shop, power house
and administration building; Key
West, new foundry; Pensacola, com
plete outfit Of shops. The estimated
cost for tools and machinery plant at
Charleston is given at $250,000.

AN armenian
ASSASS|NATED
Sagatel Sagouni, President of the
Armenian Revolutionary So
ciety in London, Murdered.
WHILE ENTERING RESIDENCE
He WAS FOULLY shot TO DEATH.
snSouni's Life Had Been Threatened
On Account of His Participation
In the Exposure of the Misappro-
printion of Funds Raised In
America For the Armeninns.

London, Oct. 2S-Sagatel Sagouni,
president of the Armenian revolution
airy society in London, was murdered
in the suburb of Nunhead late Mon
day evening. The crime has created a
sensation, as 1t has every appearance
OF being of political character, and
has been preceded by the assassinations
of other officials of branches of the
same society on the continent
NJ Sagouni, who only returned to
London, Monday, after settling up the
affairs of an associate in Switzerland,
who was recently assassinated by stab
bin2 was entering his residence when
a man rushed across the road and fired
four shots at Sagouni in quick success
zion, the last bullet entering the region
OF the heart. The murderer, who ap-
peared TO be a foreigner, fed The
only CLOVIS to the man in possession
Of the authorities are a felt hat and a
silver-plated revolver, both made in
New York, which he dropped in his
flight.
The murdered man, who was a min
ing engineer, became wealthy in the
Caucasus, and devoted his money to
the Armenian cause. His society was
entirely passive and opposed to vio-
lence, and it is thought this attitude
inspired the advanced section of the
Armcnans with the desire for yen-
geance, the latter claiming that Sa-
COUNTS society devoted funds to char
ity which would have been better ap-
piled to violent remedies for the Ar
menan grievances
Sagouni is said to have moved to
England from New York early in 1902,
1t is stated that Sagouni's life had
been threatened on account of his par
ticipation In the exposure, by the edi-
tor of the Boston newspaper, Young
Armenia, after the misappropriation of
funds by a faction Of the Armenian
revolutonists. These men are alleged
to have collected $40 1000 in America in
1902, and to have put the money in
their own pockets, instead Of pushing
the propaganda for the emancipation Of
the Armenians, for which the money
was subscribed,
