TO TEST SEARCHLIGHTS.
Drill for Atlantic Fleet Planned for
Coming Summer.

The Navy Department is planning to
have elaborate exercises conducted during
the coming summer by the Atlantic fleet
In order to test in a practical way the
new arrangement Of searchlights and the
fre-control system. The searchlights on
the battleships have been hung to the
fire-control towers, it being considered
that such positions give the best distribu-
ton in relation to the scheme of reducing
the top hamper. It is proposed to use at
least twelve torpedo boats in the exer-
cises. which will be held probably in July.
Orders have been issued that these boats,
under command Of Commander Harry
George. U.S.N.. using the U.S.S. Dixie.
as the parent skip. shall report for duty
with the fleet June Is.
The boats will be divided into three di-
visions of four boats each, as follows:
First division. composed of Warden,
Blakely, De Long and Shubfick: second
division, composed of the Mecdon-
ough. Tingey. Wilkes and Thornton: third
division, composed of the Stockton, Foote,
Winsiow and Biddle. 1t is possible that
additional boats. such as the Stringham,
Barney, Porter and Du Pont, will be held
in reserve. and If the Stringham can be
made ready in time for service by June Is
that boat will probably be employed as
flagship of the third division, taking the
place of one of the other boats now in
cluded in that division.

badly cut, but he went home.
Several hundred girls were in the place
when the fire started. One elevator broke
down. but the second. run by Tony Sa-

who were too frightened to wait for the
eral girls collapsed after reaching the
street.
The fire was snuffed out quickly by a
slight.
Nearly dozen years ago the original
Empire State building, which was occu-
pied by the Empire State Bank, and stood
on the site of the pre- oSlt building, was
burned to the ground. The Manhattan
Bank, across the street, was burned al
the same time. Two years ago there was
a bad fire in the new building. Today's
fire was Immediately over Hegeman's

FAULT FOUND IN CENSUS BILL
HOUSE LEADERS STAND BY
APPOINTMENT CLERK.
Increase in Bond Required Makes
Decrease in Salary-Conferees
to Be Asked to Fix It.

An effort will be made in the House
Of Representatives Monday. when the re-
port OF the conferees on the census bill
is taken up for consideration. to reject
1t and return it to conference, in order
that 1T may be amended in one or two
important particulars.
Representative Tawney. chairman OF
the appropriations committee, and other
leading members of the House, it is
understood. will make the fight against
the adoption Of the conference report
When the matter is put before the House
in its proper light. it is not thought that
there will be any difficulty in having the
bill returned to the conferees.
One of the changes which it is desired
to make in the bill is with reference
to the post of appointment clerk and dis

In consideration of the responsibility i'm

position. the salary of this position was.
year. In the conference report it ap-
pears again. however. at So, 500.
Apparently, this leaves the compensa-
ton to the appointment clerk and dis
SiiiS OElCeT at the same ugUre as Tor
some years past. Actually, IL means
reduction. inasmuch as the same bill in
creases the bond of the disbursing officer
from $4,000 to sl25.000 year.
Under the trebled rate arrangement
recently promulgated by the various
bending companies. surety of the sum
named costs $500 annually. which must
come out of the $500 received by the
disbursing officer. thus actually reducing
his salary below the present amount to
50 200.
Mr.. Tawney feels that this is an alb
solute injustice. and that the matter
should be corrected at once. II 1t is not
done now there will be no opportunity
until an indeterminate time after Con-
gress meets next December for the regu-
lar session. During the interval the off,
cal in question will suffer
It is believed the matter can be cor
rected in the House Monday. so that
only formal action by the conferees will
be necessary. All that will be necessary
will be to bring the members of the
House to a realization Of the facts in
the case.

MORE ENLISTED MEN TO PAY.
War Department Estimates Increas
ed 81, 600, 900 for This Purpose.

co $4,OUO,UOO 1or This Purpose.
Estimates submitted to Congress by the
War Department for the maintenance OF
the army. 1t Is evident. will show an in
crease over the estimates for the cur
rent fiscal year.
This has been made necessary In all
branches mainly by the increase In the
enlisted strength. In July last this
amounted to 73,50O men. Six months
later, in December, the enlisted strength
was s2. .000
The estimates now being prepared in
various bureaus Of the War Depa rtment
are on the basis OF an increased force OF
$500. 1t Is roughly estimated that the
increase necessary for pay of the en-
listed force will be fully $1,000, 900
The estimate for subsistence is not only
affected by the increase In the enlisted
force. but by the advance In the cost Of
the ration from 1856 cents last year to
2097 cents this year. as the average cost
Of the ration per man. Q
1t Is under such circumstances that the
War Department. and, for that matter.
the bureaus Of the Navy Department are
lahoring in getting up estimates by the
FIRST of May for the fiscal year, which
does not begin until fourteen months
from that time. 1t is clearly foreseen
that there will have to be much guess
