{. HAY, OF MINNEAPOLIS,
APPOINTED APPRAISER
w. H. EuStiS Withdrew IN Favor OF
Fellow TownSman.

The vacancy on the board of general
appraisers has been rendered 10 a-d
accepted by Eugene G. Hay, of Mime
apolis, MINI.
The report that the position had been
offered to w. H. Eustis, of the same ci'y.
Is incorrect. although the President and
Secretary Shaw had canyassed the avail
ability of Mr.. Eustis. and agreed ;hat
he was in every way worthy Of the place.
At that time Mr.. Hay was being con-
sidered for another position, but when
It developed there could be only ono
place given to Minneapolis, Mr.. Eustis
generously withdrew in favor of his
friend, Mr.. Hay.
Mr.. Hay Will assume the duties Of his

New battleships viii be without guns
unless an expenditure of SO, 464. 1858 IS
made to enlarge the gun factory at the

entered into with ordnance manufac-
turers.
Such is the burden OF a report sub
mitted to Secretary Moody by commit
tee named to make report on the lack
OF facilities for equipping the new naval
vessels with guns. This commitJee con-
sisted of Capt. w. NJ. FolgeT, Com

officers stationed at the Navy Yard
appeared before the board last April
and gave testimony concerning condi-
lions there. The report of the board
was based on tlfs tetimony and a per-
sonal investigation of the gun factory.
All testimony was against letting work
to outside contractors on account of the
lack Of uniformity in their work. II also
developed in the investigation that the
Government should have its shop
equipped TO do all sorts of work. as
contractors invariably force the prices
up on work which cannot be turned out
in Government shops
Foreman c. G. Robinson gave an in
teresting account before the board OF
the manner in which mills take advaD-
tage OF the Government Gas checks
used to sell for % cents a pound. They
rose TO 20 cents, then TO S125. and one
mill even asked $3.50, but the Govern
ment bought machinery and is now pre-
pared to manufacture them at reason
able cost.
Officers were unanimous in declaring
IL is unwise 10 run the Washington gun
factory a the rate il is now working.
Three shifts of men are employed and
the machinery is kept going constantly.

mates there will be no delay in provid-

Editor Bulletln:-In reading over the
account Of the Korea's fast trip In the
Advertiser and the remarks of Capt.
Saabury as to future records, II struck
ma that the chief engineer and his
crew were mainly responsible for the
ECrea's remarkable performance on
this trip, but failed to see where they
had been given any credit or even men
toned. II seems to me very peculiar
that when a steamship makes record
trip the captain gets all the credit and
when the same steamship makes a slow
passage, the engineer gets all the
blame. II the captain were to exchange
