FEARS FOR RECREATION CENTRES.
DR.. Maxwell Thinks Appropriation This
Year Will Be Too Small.

Speaking to an audience which crowded the large
hall at Cooper Union last night, DR.. W. II. Max
WELL City Superintendent of Public Schools said
I am afraid that the appropriation for school pur-
poses this year is going to prove inadequate to
allow to keep open the vacation schools, the
night schools and provide for the recreation and
athletic facilities which were enabled 10 give
the children of the congested districts last year.
I wish that II may be possible 10 appTo-
praton this year. not of four mills which will be
too much. nor of three mills which will be too lit
tie but OF three and half mills. which will be just
enough.

BULLS In CONFUSION,
New Orleans Cotton Exchange tho
Arena Of Wild Scenes.

New Orleans, La: Friday was a
sensational day in cotton. Many
large bank accounts were wiped out
OF existence. December cotton went
below &c during the trading on local
exchange for the first time in manv
months and by II o'clock the staple
for that month had touched the lowest
point of $3.50, a fall of % points, or of
$l.l5 bale. Since Monday December
has fallen 81 bale. January went
down % points and sold at 9.O5c. a
fall in price of $1.10 a bale, while the
other active months went down to
9.25c, fall of 10 points. The trouble
was most largely due to the ginners'
report that GS1 out of a total of $40
counties showed S.SOS,762 bales ginned
this year up to Nov. II, compared with
6,179,34S up to the same date last
year This Is an increase of over As
per cent and, while brokers protested
that they did not attach the least i'm.
portance to that report, yet cotton
went down just the same, and went
down with a rush that was fairly dizzy
and which took more than one mans
breath away. Many local authorities
contend that the ginners' report dis.
counts a crop of 100000 bales and
estimates OF the crop by fairly level.

Needs of the American Navy.

Washington, Nov. 24,-How badly
of the navy is for officers and how
seriously this condition may affect the
navy and the nation is plainly told in
the annual report of Rear Admiral G.
A. Converse, Chief of the Bureau OF
Navigation, approved by Secretary
Morton yesterday. Experience, espe
cially in gun fire, he says, has shown
that it Is necessary to increase the
number of officers assigned to ships
so that the estimate made in 1902 oil
the number OF officers needed for
ships in commission Is inadequate
1t provided for only about one,half as
many officers as ships Of the same
class carry in the British, French and
German navies. Admiral Converse
recommends that the number of Lieu.
tenants be increased from $50 to 600,
and that the number Of lieutenant
commanders be increased from 200 to
900.
1t is especially desirable, the admir-.
al says, that every battleship and 9TH
er powerful vessels requiring the
greatest skill and experience for prop
err efficiency should have her full quo
ia of officers Of suitable rank. Yet
many Of our battleships have lieuten-
ants as naVigators, practically all
have lieutenants as ordnance officers.
and several battleships have ensigns
and even midshipmen as watch and d.
vision officers. This very unsausfac-
tory and even dangerous condition is
due to the many urgent demands for
officers, the existing inadequacy of
numbers often making it impossible
to detail officers of appropriate rank
The increasing number of midship-
men graduated from the Naval Acade-
my in time will partially relieve the
situation in the lower grades, but more
lieutenant commanders and fieuten-
ants are needed than existing laws
provide for.
Because Of the important part play
ed by torpedo craft in the war in the
Far East, it is deemed advisable that

st. Petersburg: Gen. Kuropatkin's
lardily published official announcement
of losses for period of twelve days
prior to Oct. 81, amounting in sick and
wounded to 943 officers and 1881
men, rather startles the public.
There is no mention made of the
dead, although 5000 are reported by
the correspondents to have fallen in
the right wing alone in a series Of
charges unsuccessfully made to cap
ture Gen. Oku's position. According
to a special dispatch from the front,
Gen. Kuropatkin's desire to remain
quiescent is not likely to be respected
by Marshal Oyama. The Russian cor
respondent telegraphs:

anese are going to leave us soon, but
are going to make determined effort

ed, in order that our flag officers may
not be beneath foreign officers holding
equal Or inferior commands. Regard.
ing the paramount efficiency of the
battleship and the part played by them
in the Far Eastern war, Admiral Con-
verse says:
Although hundred or more torpe-
do boats and destroyers have been
actually engaged for five months
against battleships which have been
exposed for months at time, we have
yet to learn, authoritatively, of a tor
pedo from a torpedo vessel causing
the loss of single battleship. Those
which have been sunk owed their de.
struction to submarine mines, anchor.
ed or broken adrift, torpedo vessels
not contributing to the result except
by the confusion and sense of great
danger, due to their presence. It is
evident that in the final summary Of
losses the achievements of torpedo
vessels will count less than was at
first supposed. 1t cannot be claimed,
therefore, that there has been so far
anything to discredit the battleship as
a type"
