with a view to advising whether or
not the Isthmian Canal Commission
should purchase steamers and estab-
lish service between Panama and
the Pacific Coast ports of the United
States to be operated in conjunction
with the steamers now running be-
tween New York and Colon"
In his report Mr. Bristow criticises
the service of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company to Panama. He
thinks Government line on the Pa
cific coast would be desirable for the
transportation of canal supplies and
materials and canal employees, for
keeping open and Improving the 18th
milan route of commerce and for pro-
curing cargo for the Panama Rail-
road steamships homeward bound
from Colon.

Manager Schwerin, of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, as COM
planning against the action of the
United States in permitting foreign
lines to use the Isthmian Railway
upon the same terms as American
lines Mr.. Bristow argues that as
the use of all nations on equal terms
there should be no discrimination
now against foreign steamships.
Mr.. -Bristow says that to perform
the service required on the Pacific
Coast would necessitate the purchase
of from six to nine vessels. HIS esti.
mates the cost of these vessels as
from $3,500,000 to $6,000,000.

board and low free board, that ma
ton was Japan.
He pointed out that Japan had fol-
lowed the plan of low free boards,
while Russian ships had the high
free boards. The Russian ships are
now at the bottom of the sea, while
Japanese ships are still floating.
Since the Russian-Japanese war,
the Japanese have been building their
ships so that the free boards are still
lower. 1t had been ascertained that
the Russians, apparently realizing the
error of their high free boards when
going to battle in the Sea of Japan.
had pumped water between their
decks, and had even loaded coal in
the staterooms of the officers in order
to get their ships as close to the water
as possible, and afford the least pos
sible taget.
American ships, he said, had a lit
tie more free board than the Japan
csc and little less than the English
ships Of the Dreadnought type, the
English, in order to get greater speed
having been forced to allow little
more free board.
The questions raised in the Reuter-
dahl article, he said, had afforded
subjects for argument, dispute, con-
troversy and discussion among naval
architects since the construction of
the modern navy began and doubt
less always would do so. There was
always fight between amor men
and armament men, between steam
engineering departments and other
departments, but the result in the
end had been the construction of yes
sells which present the best knowledge
of naval architects.
No nation had followed the French
style of naval construction. That
was distinctive class by itself, but
in general there was similarity among
the English, American and Japanese
styles.

Washington, D. -Rear-Admiral
Washington Lee Capps, Chief of the
Bureau of Construction and Repair
of the Navy Department, made an
swer to the critics of the navy at a
hearing before the House Committee
on Naval Affairs. To the minds prac-
tically of all the members of the COM
mittee, Admiral Capps' statements
were a complete refutation of the
charges which have been made
against certain features of the con-
struction of American battleships.
Admiral Capps displayed no ami
mostly or ill-feeling toward the
chronic and scientific fault-finders,
and discussed the subject of naval ar
chitecture in dispassionate way.
While he riddled the Reuterdahl ar
ticle in McClure's Magazine in its
general features, still he gave credit
to certain criticisms made. In partic-
ular he admitted the justice of the
criticism of the ammunition hoists
on battleships. He advocated COM
plete change Of hoists, and asked for
an appropriation of 175,O0O to this
end
The Admiral discussed at length
the question of high free boards and
low free boards on battleships. He
said that the general type of naval
architecture which is followed by the
Board of Construction is the same as
has been followed since 1889 This
style was adopted by Great Britain
after the subject had been considered
thoroughly and exhaustively by the
leading naval architects and experts
of the country, in fact, of the world.
1t is the style generally followed to-
day by England in the building of her
biggest ships.
He said that if there was one ma
ton more than any other which by
reason Of sea-fighting experience
should be able to distinguish between
the respective value Of high free
