and the islands of the Caribbean afford
a multiplicity of such incidents.
A decision to change the position OF
an immense battle-ship squadron from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, even
in time of peace is nearly the equiva-
lent of sending the Russian fleet from
Cronstadt to Vladivostok. The absent
quantity in the comparison with the
last trip of the Russian fleet is the
enemy. At the same time there are
the problems of coaling the fleet, OF
providing food and water for approx
mately 49, 900 men, of affording the tleet
place of rendezvous upon arrival ana
of providing it with the requisite sup
plies once it has arrived and of taking
care of it and keeping it in condition
for future use.
In addition it is proposed that the
fleet shall utilize it's journey for the
purpose Of practicing the various fleet
maneuvers and battle formations. In
other words, the American fleet is go
| ing to the Pacific to meet a construc-
tive enemy and it will proceed accord
ingly.
To the general board of the navy a
body without legislative authority for
existence, must be given in large mea-
sure the honor of evolving the plan of
transferring the fleet and of preparing
to take care of it after its arrival on
the western coast. There are nine
members of this board, of which Ad-
miral George Dewey is president.
The problem of moving the battle
ship squadron to the Pacific first came
before the general board of the navy
and was worked out in the finest of
detail There it was approved. 1t
was at once seen that if the Atlantic
coast was to be left comparatively un-
protected, the army must be apprised
OF the fact in order that it might bring
it's coast-defense organization to the
highest point of efficiency. This was
also done.
The joint board of the army and
navy then discussed the problem and
reached an agreement and in the
course of due time the papers recon-
mending the transfer of the battleships
reached the president. After a con-
ference with members of the joint
board at Oyster Bay he approved the
plan, notified Secretary of the Navy
Metcalf of that act and on July 4 Sec
rotary Metcalf formally announced al
his home in California that the battle
ships of the United States navy, as one
feet, will shortly go to the Pacific
coast.-Chicago Daily News.

purposes would take up but very little
space, they say and in many instances
it would save many lives. But very
little of the fluid will stop the seas
from breaking and swapping the life
boats as they are being launched. Cap
tains tell of instances when they have
used oil with great success.
Harbormaster Captain A. p. Spauld-
ing said yesterday: "There ought to be
a law made requiring large passenger
vessels to carry oil to be used IN rough
weather. The benefits derived from
the use of oil during stress of weather
have often been proved Not only
should these vessels be compelled to
carry oil for this purpose but they
should also have apparatus to dis
tribute the oil on the water.
Had it not been for the use of oil
on one Of the trips l made to Europe
from the Atlantic coast, the vessel Tue
son would have foundered. We sailed
from Philadelphia during the winter
with a cargo of crude oil for Havre,
France. No sooner had we gotten off
shore when a storm commenced to
rage and continued until we reached
the coast of France.
1.-The vessel had not been out long
when she sprung a leak forward and If
we had heaved her to we would have
been lost. The storm blew so hard
that the entire voyage was made under
bare poles. On the voyage across, we
jettisoned $50 barrels of oil in order
to keep the seas from breaking over
the ship and continually pumped over
the bow and we always had a barrel
of it astern."
Captain Thomas Nelson of the tug
Pioneer, states that on the vessels last
trip to st. Michael with the barges
Moose and Wolverine in tow, had il
not been for the oil that was used in
smoothing the seas, the barges would
undoubtedly have been lost. AS soon
as the storm sprang up the captain
commenced using oil and the barges
weathered the gale without a scratch.
