Washington, d. c., April 14-Ths
news of the death OF Admiral Makaroil
caused a profound sensation in naval
and military circles here, where he
was probably better known than any
other Russian naval officer. This was
because OF the fact that he had visited
the United States in 1S96-1S97, and
when he commanded the north Pacific
squadron, which brought him into ire
quent contact with American naval Of
ficers on duty in those waters. The
general opinion is that Makaroff was
an officer of singular ability as a sail
or, being thoroughly scientific in his
methods, of more than usual intelli-
gence and of physical presence which
gave him splendid power of command.
In the matter OF personal bravery he
had no superior.
When Admiral Makaroff visited the
United States he went to Newport,
where he met Admiral Taylor and
Capt. Converse at the war college.
Capt. Converse says that from first 10
last he showed the highest powers OF
observation and he criticised intelll-
gently every detail in the process of
making smokeless powder for he
navy, which was then being developed
at Newport naval station. At that time
the station was making smokeless
powder in the shape OF long strips,
which were arranged like fagots in the
cartridge case. This form is now in
use in the Russian and French navies
and there are signs of a disposition on
the part of the United States navy TO
return TO its use. 1t was abandoned
primarily because of the difficulty OF
drying the strips so as 10 keep them
from warping. MakorOff inquired how
the strips were dried straight and
Capt Convers told him that this was
accomplished with difficulty by plac-
ing weights upon them while drying.
Makaroff explained that his process
was better IL consisted in forming
the strip with a small hole in one end
and hanging it while drying from one
of many thousand hooks in a suitable
building. The plan is practiced today

Makaroff Was a Hero.

The late Vice Admiral Makaroff was
appointed February 26 last to the COM
mand of the Russian Pacific fleet. He
was one of the heroes of the fighting
on the river Danube daring the Russo
Turkish war. Makaroff and Skrydloff
who have since many times been hon
ored by their government, were at that
time lieutenants in the Russian navy
and volunteered to make a night at
tack on a powerful Turkish ironGlad.
With torpedo boat they succeeded in
blowing up the Turkish vessel and, it
was claimed at the time, thereby made
the first successful demonstration of
the usefulness of torpedo beats in ma
val warfare.
Makaroff originated the idea of con-
structing the famous ice breaking
steamer Ermak, which was built on
the Tyne from his designs.
