merged runs by the Adder and Moccasin
on the OCCASION Of their recent official trials
in Peconic bay is of special interest as
being the first official account of this
character to be made public. It has been
eagerly sought for by naval attaches of
the foreign legations in Washington, a
number of whom sought permission to
make trips in the submarine boats which
permission Secretary Moody, as a matter
Of policy, respectfully declined to grant.
The department has reserved certain tech
nical portions of Constructor Woodward's g
report as being of a character the publi-
cation, Of which would not: subserve the
interests Of the department., but some OF
the more interesting parts Of Constructor
Woodwards report have been given out:
The report devotes considerable satten-
tion to the condition of the air during
the submerged runs and also to the ques-
ton Of danger from the presence of gaso-
lene fumes. In one Of his notes on the
three hours submerged endurance tests,
Constructor Woodward says there were
nine persons in the boat and no air was
admitted from the TASKS, put this num-
ber Of men were sustained by the air in
the vessel. In the early part Of the trial
| there was slight odor of gasodene, which
ceased to: be noticeable after an hour.
Although the air was noticeably close at
the end Of the run, it was not extensively
SO, and there. was no sensation Of head
ache, as a result of a reduced supply of
oxygen. The effect of the increased air
pressure within the boat was not notice
able to any appreciable extent

"1he most interesting feature in con-
nection with the performance Of the act
Of diving" says the report, land Of the
maintenance Of approximately steady mo-
ton when submerged, was the fact that
both the motions Of the vessel were in
general under very satisfactory control:
vet In order to maintain uniform condi
tions it was necessary to anticipate the
motions Of the vessels; and, for example.
before she had shown by the rating of
her clinometre that she had begun to obey
the impulse given her by the diving rud-
der, the diving rudder had to be brought
to "a position to check such motion. This
REQUIRES very careful training on the part
of the man acting diver, but with
proper training the requirements Of ap-
-proximately steady motion appear to have
been met in an entirely satisfactory man

1t is said on good authority that two OF
the new members of the Minnesota con-
gres3ional delegation, Buckman and
Davis, will try, to secure places On the
District of Columbia standing committee.
Without undertaking to discount the fu
ture too heavily, it may be said as a gen.
eral proposition that places on that COM
mittee are always at a decided premium,
and that many old members of congress,
men with Distinguished records, have been
unable to secure the assignment al
hough long known to be anxious for it.
The chances are therefore very much
against the wishes of the Minnesota gen.
tlemen. The District OF Columbia COM
nlittee Is the leading social committee OF
congress. Its members have he welfare
Of the district in hand, and are wlned and
dined repeatedly during the season by the
leading families. Contrary to very gen
eral impression, the opportunities. for graft
on this committee are not nearly so good
as they might be. The graft game In con-
gress, if there be one there, is played else
where. - .a
1t is the understanding here that nearly
all Of the new Minnesota members, ex-
ceDt possibly Mr.. Lind, will spend several
