Tho Burcau of Equipment.

The only other change of Importance
IS the abolition of the Bureau of Equip
ment, over which Admiral CoWles,
brother-in-law of former President
Roosevelt, has long presided. But leg
. islation by Congress will be necessary
( TO complete this change. It is proposed
/ that the present duties of the Bureau
Of Equipment shall be divided between
three other Bureaus. The purchase of
coal and the transportation of the same,
1t is proposed, shall go to the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts, while rope
3 making, canvas work, flags, bunting
and the like shall go 10 the Bureau of
: Construction and Repair and the prep
aratien OF electrical machinery. signal
apparatus, chain and anchor Tnanufac-
tLire shall go to the Bureau of Steam
Engineering. -.
These constitute all the changes of
Importance which Secretary Meyer is
nov undertaking to put into operation.
AEch IS expected Of il by the so-caIIed

OF four naval Aids OF high rank for the

for something like that for years. II

the Army has by authority Of law and

BALLINGER'S POLICY.
An Outline of What He Wants
to Do With CONGRESSES Help.
Public Lands to Be Classified
According TO Main Use.

Secretary Ballinger now faces his
energetic critics with a definite policy,
publicly promulgated and dependent for
It's execution upon comprehensive legis-
iation by Congress. He has specific
IDEAS for the conservation Of resources.
lie wants enaCtments by which title to
the soil can be separated from the right
% mine. Old and obsolete land laws
te would fs peal, and have IL their place
modern statutes, under which the Gov
ernmcHt can retain ownership in vast
deposits of coal and oil, in enormous
horsepower in streams and rivers, and
more perfect control over timber tracts
on the public domain.
fais annual report, just issued, demon
ftrates the thOroness with which the
Secretary proceeded in the study of
taese conservation questions, while he
1ourncyed up and down the West dur
ing the GUNNER and Autumn While
Gfieid he took up the divers problems
that have figured in the bitter agita-
ton of the last few months. He has
reached his conclusions. If Congress
does half the work that he recommends
- VIII enable the Secretary TO place the
administrative efforts of the Interior
department on practically a new basis
incidentally the Government ownership
and control OF natural resources in the
west win be tremendously augmented
ana this ancreaSed Federal function as
st.red for long period
te declares for rigid prosecutions of
land law violations. The necessity of
safeguarding the further disposition Of
bhese lands ne regards as Imperative.
The totafs from public land sales as
Guotcd by the Secretary, dispcls the
popular belief that the public lands
have nearly all been disposed Of These
receipts from various sources were Sl2-
-l6,4l5 more than for any other fiscal
scar except 1903. The net revenues
amounted to $9,494,925. The major
portion was from the sale of public
lands, but substantial sums came into
tEe Treasury from the sale of Indian
lands, ana almost $l6O, 600 from rec
1anation water-right charges.
The public domain now comprises
over 73f,o00,090 acres, largely confined

Board of Construction abolished.

Board of Construction Abolished.
Coming to the Department proper
Secretary Meyer has abolished the
Board of Construction. This has been
composed of the Chiefs of the several
Bureaus who have been passing upon
and supervising the different features
of shin designs and deciding questions
in disnute between the Bureaus when
their duties overlapped. A ship is nee
sssarily a compromise of conflicting in
yerests, and the Board of CONSTRUCTION
generally decided upon such compro-
misses. Hitherto the General Board, OF
which Admiral Dewey has long been
Chairman, has recommended types ana
military characteristics of warShips and
mas been of material assistance in the
formation of up-to-date designs. But
when such designs have been prepared
they have been passed on to the Bureau
Chiefs, composing the Board of Con-
ssTuctiou.
Now that is to be changed and quite
q different organization installed. Sec
%etaTy Meyer has tentative organlZa-
zion plan, which goes into force Dec. l.
by which he is-to have four expert adj
visers These advisers are to head the
four new Divisions of Material, Person
mel. the Operation or Management of
the Fleet, and, fourth, Inspections. The
Division of Material will have Superyi-
with The construction, equipment and
maintenance of the fleet. and will in
clude tho navy yards. The adviser at
She head of that department viii have
no { tXecttive or administrative duties to
perform, but will be expected to keep
the Secretary informed about all impor-
tant matters pertaining to that Division.
The adviser on Personnel VIII have
oversight of The Navy Bureaus that have
to do with the officers and men, includ-
ing all matters relating TO the supply
and transfer OF officers and men for
ships or stations, training, education
and discipline of officers and men.
These advisers viii be known rs Aids.
and of the four the Aid for Operations
will presumably be the most important
officer He will be member of the
General Board, which will make recon-
mendatieHS as to the military features
OF the new ships, as to the proposed re-
pair or alteration of n ship which will
affect the military features. and also as
10 the expediency of undertaking eX-
tensive repairs in given instance. He
in conjunction with the General Board,
will recommend the number, type and
military features of drydocks. The War
College a Newport and the Naval In
Ieiligence Bureau in the Department
win be closely allied with the Aid for
Operations.

This was due to liquidation of one large

that fluctuations are smaller on de-

WHEAT,

Chicago, March 17-After all the
disturbance Of the day in the local
grain trade market prices closed a
little higher than yesterday. At the
early advance there was cons derable
selling of the market on resting orders
placed in anticipation of an upturn. II
was noted that the brokers for the
bull leaders sold a moderate amount
OF wheat around the top prices. This
started many of the locals to taking
profits. About this time something of
bear raid struck the corn trade and
there was sympathy selling in wheat.
Stop loss orders had something to do
with rafting prices down quickly The
early advance was on legitimate bull
features with less decline at Liverpool
