SHEEP-There were only a few odds and
ends of sheep and lambs on sale this morn
ing and they changed hands readily at
fully steady prices.
In general the course of values this week
has been n until yesterday. Prices
went off fully l6q26c and even with the
Improvement of yesterday, the market is
somewhat lower than Il was at the close
of last week. The decline last week was
due entirely to the unsatisfactory
weather conditions and with more
favorable weather conditions the tone to
the trade is decidedly better at the close
and will perhaps be better next week.

Reorganization OF Navy.

Reorganization OF Navy.
WASHINGTON, January 15.-By
unanimous vote the House Committee
on Naval Affairs today agreed to rec
ommend placing the marines back upon
the ships in the Navy, contrary to the
action of the President. This action
was taken at a meeting of the com,
mittee following the taking of testi-
mony for several days. Rear-Admiral
Robley D. Evans was the last witness
heard. He approved of the recent order
of the President removing the marines
from the ships and urged their organ,
ization into battalions, but still to be
part of the Navy.
Admiral Dewey, president of the
General Board of the Navy, has sent
to Secretary Newberry letter in which
he cordially approves the withdrawal
of the marines from the ships of the
Navy. He says it is the policy OF the
department to employ these men as an
integral part of the Navy and war
plans are worked out accordingly, but
when embarked they will be on ships
especially, fitted to carry expeditionary
forces and advanced base material. If
there had been 5000 marines under his
command at Manila bay, the Admiral
says, the city would have surrendered
and there would have been no insur,
rection.
An important conference on the adj
ministration of naval matters by the
Navy Department, which may result in
the reorganization of the system at
present in vogue in that department,
was held today. Criticism of the naval
administration under the present bu-
reau system has resulted in the bring
ing together today of ten men of wide
experience in Navy Department mat
tiers. Those who are in attendance at
the meeting in the offices of the Seere-
tary of the Navy are Supreme Court
Justice William Fl. Moody, Paul Nor,
ton of New York, former Secretaries
of the Navy; United States Judge A.
G. Dayton of West Virginia, formerly
chairman of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs; Herbert L. Satterlea, the
present Assistant Secretary of the
Navy; Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans
(retired), former commander in chief of
the Atlantic fleet; Rear dmirals Alfred
T. Mahan (retired), Stephen B. Luce
(retired), both on special duty at the
Naval war College, Newport, R. l.;
RearAdmiral William N. Folger ire
/ tired), former Naval Chief of Ord
nance; Rear-Admiral w. S. Cowles,
chief of the Bureau of Equipment, and
Commander William NJ. Fullam, of the
naval training station at Newport, R.
/ T., who will act as recorder. Paul Nor.
| ton presided at the conference.
Secretary Newberry announced later
that the conference had approved the
plans he had already put into effect,
which include the enlargement of the
general board so as to make it repre-
sentative of all branches Of the service
and designation of the chief of the
Bureau of Construction as acting chief
of the Bureau of Steam Engineering,
with the possibility of merger of
these bureaus.
