OUR WARsHiPs TO BE SEEN

This VIII Promote contentment and
Intr-est of the Sailors.

Waal1' -sgton, April 8.-After having
worked for years to develop the sys-
tenn of one man control of the great
fleets Of the navy, Secretary Meyer has
come to the conclusion that the abili-
tise of the individual have reached the
breaking point, and that it will be nee
essary to sub divide the responsibility.
Therefore, he has approved a number
OF changes in the naval regulations
concerning the administration of the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets.
The main purpose of these changes
is to relieve the commanders in chief
of the fleets Of much of the details of
administration which occupied a large
complished by transferring to the rear
admiral in command OF each division
Of the fleet, comprising four ships each,
a large measure of authority and adj
miniStration power. which will have
the benefcial result OF fitting them. to
succeed readily to their chief command
to which they are eligible. At the
same time the commander in chief will
exercise supervisory authority over all
of the divisions instead of over single
ships as units.
Extending the idea, the commanders
cf divisions will be given an opportuni-
ty to sail away whit their four ships
to different parts Of the world on de-
tached service, with the understand
ing that the various divisions will at
practice and general fleet exercises. So
the American t-attieships hereafter will
be seen oftener in foreign waters, and
it is expected this will do much to pro-
mote the contentment and interest of

differences with the gloves. Both went

passed for a purse to the winner and
the collection was given to a stake
holder. 1t was a prize fight with all
the formalities OF the code.
The boys stripped to their under
wear and went at IL hammer and
tongs. The light was bad and neither
of them knew much about lighting,
but both were willing and made up
in savageness what they lacked in
skill.
According to accounts of eye wit
nesses, in the seventh and fatal round
Keizer caught Trehou flush on the
jaw with heavy swing. Trehou stag
gered and before he got his balance
again, Keizer shot in body punch,
Just below the end OF the sternum
Trehou went down and lay groaning
The referee counted ten and still the
boy lay flat. The crowd sensed that
something was wrong and began TO
melt away into the darkness. One OF

stuck by him and when they would not
revive him, carried him to a hospital.
