vice-president. Henry Clews of 10
Broad street, New York City, the
treasurer OF the fund, announces the
receipt of donations amounting to
$500, including 500 from Capt.

Most of the money needed for the
Scott memorial win be raised, of
course, by the fellow-couatrymen of
the dead man, but the American Scott
committee hopes to collect SO. 900 in
the United States as an American con-

Henry Clews, treasurer. says that
the appeal is not one to a few mil

as glad to welcome the small as the

The photographic office is making
preparations to tissue chart on a
large scale showing the approaches to
the Panama Canal on both the At
lantic and. Pacific sides. The Hanni-
bal will soon begin the survey work
necessary on the Atlantic coast Of
Panama. This survey will take only
three or four months to complete, and
the resulting chart will be more use
full.

the Arkansas recently struck That
shoal is evidently formed by coral
heads between which and Ceiha bank

Ceiha bank in absut three fathoms

this curve and the place she struck
the soundings show ten fathOms. The
channels leading into sharbOrs or bays
on this part of the coast Of Cuba are
swept by means OF wire drag set
to thirty feet, and these will catch
anything less than that depth. The
shoal the Arkansas struck is not in
a channel, but is near one on the
coast.
The photographic office has been
very greatly delayed in beginning the
work of reproducing charts by means
of zincography because of the failure
of the camera makers to supply the

A Department with about twenty-four hun
dred employees in 1897 has increased to one
now having nearly fourteen thousand en-
ployees. That this is not merely a bureau
cratic increase may be inferred from the fact
that in 1897 there were but about FIVE hun
dred requests a week for department pub
LEGATIONS; now every week brings no less than
f%fty-two thousand requests. OF all this
folce of men, and of all these various engi-
neries, Mr.. Wilson has been the directing
and responsible head. He approaches re-
tirenent ut the age of seyenty-seven with a
double distinction. Under him, his Depart
ment has seen a development and a diverslti-
cation such as has no other department; and
he has the longest record ever made by a
Cabinet officer, He has served continuously
for sixteen years.
