Clemency for Kirkman.

The President has decided to exercise
clemency in the case of Hugh Kirkman,
formerly a captain in the army, to the ex-
tent of RENTING so much of the sentence
of imprisonment as will remain unexecuted
June "a next. Kirkman was tried at Manila
for various offences in December, 1905. and
sentenced to be dismissed and to be I'M
pr1soned for term of two years. 1t IS
represented that he has been model pris-
oner and has become so proficient in a
trade as to enable him to support his wife
and family. The. action of the President
cuts off four months of his term OF inl-
prisonment.
Middies in Great Condition.
The bureau Of navigation has received
a report of the annual physical examina-
tons held by the resident surgeons at the
Naval Academy. OF the 600 midshpmen
that took the examination not more than
three or four were reported sufficiently dis
qualified to cause them to leave the acad-
envy. This admirable showing is probably
due to the stricter physical examinations
held at the time the midshpmen are ad-
mitted to the academy.
Proposed Adoption of Metal Boats.
Naval officers are seriously considering
the advisabity of equipping warshps with
metal boats in the place of the wooden
boats which have been in use since the
navy was organized. There is opposition,
however, to the proposed change on the
ground that the metal boat lacks the neat
