Washington, March 12-Admiral Mason. chief of the naval bureau of ordinance has just completed plans for tue construction of torpedo fac tory at the Newport naval station and he expects to advertise at onca for proposals for the construction of the building and the supply of the neces- sary plant.
 This will be the first time the gov eminent has undertaken to make it's own torpedoes on a large scake. The new factory will give employment to at least POO skilled workmen.
 The present type of naval torpedo runs $500 yards under water at the average speed of 26 1-2 knots. But experiments conducted by the ordi- nance bureau have devlOpd torpedo that will attain the marvellous speed of B knots per hour at a distance of 1000 yards and it is possible that this type will be adopted when fully de velOped and turned out at the New port factory instead of the present standard type.

 Cruiser That is Coming
NEWTORPEDOFACTORY

Washington, March 2.-American naval officers will watch with interest the entry into Hampton Roads May $ next, of the big Japanese armored cruiser Tsukuga.

Second, that the Tsukoga was on the high seas within two years from the date her keel was laid down iii Japan. No such speed of construction as this has ever been attained in American ship yards at least where naval work was involved.

TICKER FOR CONGRESS.
Tapes In All Committee Rooms to Re

Tapes In All Committee Rooms to Re-
port Events on Floor.
The ticker for congress is the latest
wrinkle devised to tighten the burden
Of the heavily laden congressman. In
struments quoting the market of the
New York Stock Exchange will be
placed In the committee rooms when
the new office buildings are completed,
says q Washington special to the New
York World.
The distance between the office build
ings and the capitol is several hundred
feet, and the ticker will save the con-
gresham walking this distance many
times a day. The idea is to employ a
trained newspaper man to watch the
proceedings on the floor of the house
and senate and send the reports out on
the ticker. The house office building
will be ready for use during the next
congress.
That some ambitious congressman
might accidentally have his tape ma
chine connected with the Wall street
| tickers Is a suggestion Of wick edness in
national legislator that is purely con-
jectural.
