NAVAL CONSTRUCTORS.
For Vacancies in the Corps at the
Present Time.

The designations of Naval Constructors
Bowles and Smith leaves four vacancies in
the corps of naval constructors, which num-
Der will be increased to nine about the LIST
of January. There have been five resigna-
tons from that branch Of the navy within
the last two years. the other three officers
being Constructors Hibbs. Spear and Cox.
Provision has been made for the increase
of the corps to seventy-fve members. The
Increase is to be made by the appointment
OF five additional members in each calendar
year from the corps of midshipmen. This
source Of supply however. is somewhat un-
reliable. depending upon the needs of the
line of the navy. and this year there We're
no assignments to the corps from the Naval
Academy. Ten students are now under in
structiOn at Boston. with a view to their
assignment to the construction department
but they VIII not become available for some
time The corps is considerably embarrass-
ed by the present shortage of officers.

THE ARSENAL EXPLOSION.
Cause of the Accident to Be Inquired
Into

Admiral O'Neil, chief of the naval ord
nance bureau. today received a telegram
from Captain Perry in temporary charge
of the New York navy yard, concerning the
explosion of the naval magazine on Iona
Island yesterday. stating that from six to
nine men were killed and five injured and
shell houses Nos. and /. with their con-
tents. destroyed. Captain Perry stated that
he had already appointed board which is
proceeding at once to the island to investi-
ite the accident.
The bureau officials are puzzled as to the
cause of tins disaster, in view of the extra
ordinary precautions taken to prevent such
accidents The buildings We're absolutely
fIreproof. composed entirely of stone, brick,
iron and cement, without particle of wood
In their COnstl action. But the shells were
packed in wooden cases. and Admiral o Neil
believes that after the explosion of the first
shell through the reported act of the work
men in attempting to adjust the fuse with
in the confines Of the building (strictly
against regulations) the boxes caught fire
and the heat was sufficient to ignite the full
inmate i'll the fuses of the other shells.
On hearing of the disaster Rear Admiral
ONeil. chief Of the ordnance bureau. at
once communicated with the New York
navy yard. and response was received to
the effect that the men We're engaged in
unloading three or four hundred thirteen
.."h shells, which were to be sent to the
factory for rebanding with copper. 1t is
assumed here that in extracting the fuse
one OF these shells blew up. The ordnance
bureau. according to Admiral O'Neil, has
exercised every known precaution to pre-
vent an accident such as this. The explo-
sion at Fort Lafayette last June was cauS
ed by careless workman forcing the fuse
of a six pound shell. ana the ordnance bu-
reau thereupOn issued an elaborate set of
instructions to naval officers employed at
the magazines. directing them to use the
greatest caution in such work and to have
any shell set aside where the fuse stuck.

NEW PLEDGE OF PEACE.
st. Petersburg View Of Meeting of Gear
and Kaiser.

ST PETERSBURG, November 5.-The
meeting of the car and Emperor William
at Wiesbaden yesterday is commented on
by the newspapers here as being a fresh
pledge of the preservation of general
peace. The Novosti's remarks attract spec
fal attention. they reiterate the sug-
gestion of Anglo-Russian rapproche-
ment which has been recently mooted by
some Russian publicists. The Novosti con-
tests the idea that Russia and Great Bril-
tain must remain rivals and says the
clearest proof of this is found in Britains
absolutely peaceful policy and the infiu-
ence she has exercised on Japan in the
present Russian-Japanese differences. The
paper sees no reason why more frequent
exchange of views, giving more Intimate
knowledge of each other should not lead to
a similar entente as effected between
Great Britain and France.
