Washington, June 2S.-Emperor William
probably will not rock the next time he is
i guest aboard an American warshp. When
the new cruiser now building goes to the
European station, rocking-chairs and sim
liar luxuries will be left behind.
Secretary Moody has received from the
Board of Construction memorandum
which shows that each battleship carries
$50 tons Of fittings that may be classed as
luxuries and that the conversion of a vessel
into flagship means an increase in weight
of fifty tons.
The Secretary is much impressed by these
figures and is inclined to call halt in this
loading down of warships with unnecessary
conveniences.
What is the most serious phase Of the
question is that these luxuries have been
added at the expense of a sacrifice of ma
ch.--<y weights Rear Admiral Melville has
for a long time protested against the in
crease, which he argues is injurious both to
the personnel and material of the navy.
1.-The sacrifice of machinery weights"
said Rear Admiral Melville. "for the in
stallation of luXuries that are not found
on the ships of other navies has been car
British naval attaches stationed in Wash
ington remarked that no British Admiral
afloat enjoys some of the luxurics which the
enlisted men Of the American Navy pos
sess when affoat.
when Prince Henry of Prussia was here
he is said to have commented upon the law
isEness with which our ships were fitted up
and to have expressed the doubt as to
whether SO much elegance was conclusive
to the making of good fighting men.
THE fact is that the interior of one Of
our warships resembles that of fashion,
able young ladies' boardng-school more
than man-o'-war. There is not a sta
tionary bathtub on any ship in the British
Navy, and yet every one of our battleships
is supplied with many of them. Then there
are Ice plants. heating plants. electric light
plants, apparatus for distilling water not
only for drinking purposes, but for washing
and cooking purposes as well. and many
other luxuries. some of which can and
should be stripped from our ships.
Where in the old days the lights had to
be turned out at o'clock. they can now be
kept burning all night il desired.
"All this adds to the convenience Of the
officers and men. but It does not add to
their own or their ships efficiency"
1t Is probable that the board on con-
struction will soon make to the Secretary
q statement of just what fittings can come
off Our battleships without seriously affect
ing the comfort of the officers and men. ard
such luxuries will be omitted from all the
ships now under construction.

Judge Dowie, who is respected by the

has often been taken for the son. The
old man is growing feeble, and the re-
