Of the recent target practice OF the North

gave to the press to-day an extract from
an official letter from an officer of the battle
shin Indiana. commanded by Capt. William
f. Emory, which says that the Indiana
established the record for 6-inch and g.

Secretary Moody desires to let the public
know what was accomplished by the fleet
in target work, but other officers are OPP
posed to doing So and up to this time moth
ing has been determined. The main OBJ
lection to telling how the practice resulted
is tnat the information can be used in trad
ing with other nations for data possessed
bv them. The British naval authorities
publish the results CT target competition
however and it is said that some of the
Continental countries do the same.
The private letter referred to related TO
