MAGAZINE FOR
AMMUNITION
RESERVE
Navy Department Consider
ing Establishment of One
on Gulf Coast.

The navy department is now consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing
naval magazine at some point along
the gulf coast, probably at Pensacola,
where a number of sites, outside of
the one now in use, are available.
There is now small magazine near
the navy yard, but this is not looked
upon as a favorable location.
Speaking of the matter, the Army
and Navy Register of recent date con-
tanned the following:
The naval authorities, who have
to do with the maintenance of the
feet, are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of q naval magazine at some point on
the Gulf of Mexico. Such a depot for
the storage of powder and projectiles
is regarded as required to add to the
endurance of the command aaoat and
its importance as apart of the naval
policy of the government is hardly
open to question
THE site of the present small mag,
azine at the Pensacola Navy Yard
which was built prior to the civil
war, is not believed to be suitable
one at the present day In the vicin-
ity of Pensacola many good sites, out
of the range of gun fire from hostile
| fleet and at the same time accessible
| to vessels of our own navy, are avail
able and the question of acquiring a
suitable site for a naval magazine
somewhere in the gulf waters will be
taken up by the department. there
being at this time no naval magazine

Trouble at the Government
Printing Office a Con-
tinuous Performance.
STILLINGS ON
PETTY GRAFT
Runpus May Result in Gen
eral Shakeup of the
Department.
PREDICTION THAT PRESENT SEES
SION OF CONGRESS WOULD BE
A LIVELY ONE FULLY vERI.
FIED-HARMoNY REIGNs ON
QUESTION OF MORE ADEQUATE
COAST DEFENsEs.
BIZ William Wolff Smith.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The good
work Of stirring up trouble continues
at the government printing Office.
Trouble in that branch of the govern
ment service is like the ghost of Ban
quo in the play, having no disposition
to lie still.
Mr. Stillings is having his innings
just now before the congressional
committee and he is telling some ugly
things. He says that when he took
charge of the office he found a large
number of the employees habitually
coming late TO their work, thus losing
a good deal of time the government
was paying for. He issued an order
calculated to put a stop TO that sort
of graft, and he says It raised "a per
feet storm of protests from the en-
ployees." He claims that by this
means he has reduced the number of
tardy ones from more than two hum
dred a day to less than twenty-five.
The rumpus between Mr.. Stillings
and the employees may result in Civ
ing the government ~ ling office
q pretty thorough cleaning TO the adj
vantage of the service.
Prediction Verified.
It was predicted in this cOrreSpon-
dence some time ago that this session
of congress would be the liveliest
sshoTs session known In many years.
70 only takes a glance at the subjects
that have already been preached to
see that this prediction is to be veri-
fed TO the fullest extent Both the
senate and house have exhibited
symptoms Of being little unruly and
the president is likely to find his leg
islative team a balky one 1t viii
either balk or take the bit in Its
teeth and run away with the concern
that will make lively and interesting
politics for the next year or two tC
come. Some hard knocks have al
ready been given. and several clubs
are still poised in the air.
Coast Defense.

the committees On military affairs ap
pear to be in harmony on the ques
ton of making better provisions 10
our coast defenses. 1t was in TIL
correspondence that the deploraoi'
condition of our coast defenses wa
first made public. All that was need
ed was to call the. attention OF th'
public to the subject to awaken al
interest in every section of the coun
try.
