Assembly
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. After refer
ring to the cordial relations everywhere
existing between the Army and the Navy,
to the work of the Navy in connection
with the disturbed condition in the West
Indies and Central America. Secretary
of the Navy Moody, says in his annual
report:
"The task which is employing the high
est energies of the Navy and receiving
the greatest attention from the heads of
bureaus, the commanders-in-chief of sta
tions, the commanding and subordinate
officers of squadrons, divisions and single
vessels everywhere, is the work of train
ing. To the development of the greatest
efficiency in all branches of the service
the attention, zeal and thought of those
In charge is mainly directed. This is an
era of training. The reports of the several
bureaus arc largely made up of criticisms
upon and plans for the improvement of
the present systems of practice, drill and
instruction."
In regard to vessels now under con
struction, the report says: "At the close
of the last fiscal year there were under
construction for the Navy by contract the
following vessels: Eight battle-ships, six
armored cruiser.;, nine protected cruisers,
four monitors. 13 torpedo-boat destroyers,
seven torpedo-boats and seven submarine
torpedo-boats. The general progress of
work upon these vessels, particularly
those of the larger class, has not been i
found to be satisfactory. The battle-ships
were on June 30. 1902, from 10 to 29 months !
behind contract time, the armored cruis- !
ers from 4 to 13 months, the protected
cruisers from 6 to 18 months, while the
monitors were from 16 to 19 months in ar
rears. Will Hurry Builders.
"In cases of the larger vessels the
causes assigned for slow progress are the
nondelivery of structural material, the in
ability of shipbuilders to obtain a suffi
cient supply of skilled labor, and in some
cases strikes. The department has recent
ly taken steps to remove as far as pos
sible any grounds of delay over which it
can exercise control, and has notified con
tractors that they will be held to ac
countability for failure to push forward
the work of construction with due dili
gence. If such failure shall occur, and
particularly for any delays which may at
any time be caused by preference being
given to private over public work. In
the case of torpedo-boats and the destroy
ers the contractors have assigned as an
additional reason for the delay that the
contracts for their construction were so
exacting that compliance with them has
been well-nigh impossible.
"During the fiscal year the following
vessels have been Anally accepted: The
battle-ships Alabama, Wisconsin and Illi
nois; the torpedo-boats Bailey, Bagley,
Barney. Biddle, Shubrick and Stockton.
The torpedo-boats Thornton and Wilkes
and the destroyers Decatur, Perry and
Preble have been preliminarily accepted.
Between July 1, 1902, and November 1,
1902, the Thornton has been finally and
the following l-essels preliminarily ac
cepted: The monitor the Arkansas, the
torpedo-boat destroyers Barry, Chauncey,
Dale, Paul Jones, Truxton, Whipple and
Worden, and the torpedo-boat De Long.
Old Ships Discarded.
"The monitors Catskill. Manhattan and
Mahopac and the receiving-ship Vermont
have been stricken from the Navy regis
ter during the fiscal year.
"At the last session of Congress, by act
of July 1. 1D02, the construction of the fol
lowing additional vessels of the Navy was
authorized: Two battle-ships, one to be
built at such navy-yard as the Navy De
partment might designate, two armored
cruisers and two gunboats."
The report continues: "Among the most
important lessons learned in the war with
Spain was that a modern Navy cannot be
improvised during a war or upon the
threshold of a war. The country approves
with hardly a dissenting voJce the policy
of strengthening our power upon the sea.
There must be additional naval and coal
ing stations: more ships, fighting and aux
iliary, ana an increase of officers and men.
Officers Most X.ccdcd.
"The mo.t important need of the Navy
iuuay is oi aaamonai omcers. I cannot
overstate this need. It Invites the instant
attention of Congress. The administra
tion of the department is embarrassed al
most daily by the lack of officers below
command rank. I am Informed that un
der existing conditions 355 graduates of
tne iavai Acaaemy may be expected dur
me uc.i iur years. mere is no
otner source of supply except a number,
- not exceeding six per annum, which
be obtained by the promotion of enlisted
men.
"The officers we need can hp nhtainci
from three sources only by appointment
irom civil me, by promotion from the
ranks, or by education and training at the
.en aval Academy. The first source ha,i
ucen so unuormly Tejeeted by the opinions
of all that I will not discuss t fnn
has Indicated its opinion by abandoning
this method In the Army and Marine
Corps, and would not. it is assumed adopt
it for the line of the Navy. The law
already allows promotion from the -mnfcc
of not exceeding six enlieted men per an
num, x recommend tnat this law hp
amended so as to permit the promotion of
not more tnan iz per annum.
"But the main source of our supply of
officers must be from the Naval Academy
The duties of the modern Naval officer
aro so varied and complex that they de
mand a rigorous and protracted education
and training. This training and educa
tion can be best obtained at the National
School at Annapolis. This school pro
duces officers the equal of any in the
world. Naval officers do not constitute a
caste; our system of selection brings to
our service each generation the new blood
of our democracy. It admits none by
favor; it excludes all except those of the
h'ghest mental and physical vigor; thus
selected, thus educated. Inspired by our
r.aval traditions, we may be assured that
these young men will reach and maintain
the highest standard of efficiency..
"I therefore earnestly recommend that
without a year's delay the number of
midshipmen at the academy be increased
sufficiently to meet present and prospec
tive needs of the service.
Ferrer Officer Ashore.
"It has sometimes been suggested that
the Insufficiency of officers is due in part,
at least, to the number detailed for the
performance of .shore duty. This sugges
tion demands careful consideration. The
efforts of my predecessor and myself have
diminished the number of line officers on
shore duty from 275 on January 1 last, to
193 on November ,15 current, being a re
duction of SO. or 29.9 per cent. The per
centage of officers on shore duty on Jan
uary 1 was 26.8. and on November 15 was
18 6. This reduction has not been accom
plished without the protest of .some of the
ablest officers, especially those at the
haads of the several bureaus. The weight
o! this protect Is not overlooked and lt
Is-recognlzed that in some cases tfie action
of the department can only be justified
y the fact that officers have been de
tached from stations on shore for the per
formance of more essential duties at sea.
Thereductloh of the number of officers on
fiho duty has been almost entlrelv in

technical subjects, which, In the modern
Navy, are of the highest Importance."
Go On' Building; Ships. i
The Secretary goes on to say: "After
meet careful consideration. I believe It to"
be my duty to recommend a continuance,
without interruption, of the Increase of
ships. The precise type of ships author
ized must, of course, like the authoriza
tion itself, be referred to the wisdom of
.Congress, to whose committees recom
mendations In detail may be made. Dif
ferences of opinion exist among naval
authorities, but all agree that no lees than
two battle-ships should be among the
number authorized. Whether the others
should be of the armored-cruiser type, or
of the unarmored cruiser and gunboat
type, which have proved bo successful,
may be left for future discussion.
"A permanent ambulance or hospital
ship, designed for hospital purposes only,
and having the right to fly tho flag of the
Geneva conference, would undoubtedly
prove an important adjunct to extended
naval maneuvers, whether In time of war
or peace. The work of the Solace and Bay
State throughout the period of the Span
ish War, In the West Indies, and during
subsequent activities in the far East, es
tablished the value of hospital ships in
time of war."
The Secretary quotes from the Presi
dent's first message to the fifty-seventh
Congress as follows:
"The National Government should de
mand the highest quality of service from
its employes, and in return It should be a
good employer;" an.d adds:
Relief for the Injured.
"There are employed as artisans under
this department abo'ut 15,000 men. With
them Congress has dealt liberally in re
spect of vacations, hours of labor and
rates of pay, but in one respect their con
dition compares unfavorably with those in
private employment. If one of them,
while in the exercise of due care, suffers
Injury or death through the negligence of
the Government, heMs absolutely without
remedy, either at common law or under
any statute. The only compensation which
may be given him is. In the case of per
sonal Injury, a special preference for re
employment, which has In some cases op
erated to the detriment of tho public serv
ice. It is a constant occurrence in the
navy-yards that subscriptions are taken
up among the officers and men for em
ployes who have been Injured and whose
families are In distress during their pe
riod of enforced idleness. I earnestly hope
that this omission In our law may be
cured by legislation, and that the artisan
employes of this department Injured with
out fault of their own may be afforded a
remedy."
Use of Oil as Fnel.
The question of liquid fuel is treated at
considerable length, although it is stated
that the experiments of the department
in regard to It" are .far from complete.
The judgment of the board of naval ofll
ccrs who have been conducting the ex
periments Is given as follows:
"First That oil can be burned under an
ordinary boiler in a uniform manner.
Whether better Tesults may be obtained
by a form of boiler specially designed for
the use of liquid fuel is a matter for fu
ture determination.
"Second That unsatisfactory results are
obtained where the attempt is made to
burn oil in the same manner as coal. This
is believed to have been the cause of many
failures in the past.
"Third That the best results are ob
tained by atomization of the liquid fue,
and that the -efficiency of the oil burner Is
proportionate to its power to atomize tho
oil, and convert the minute particles thus
obtained Into .a mixture of combustible
gas and flne particles of carbon, in-order
that complete combustion may Tesult and.
when necessary, the consumption of oil
be forced. .
Fourth That the oil, before being fed
to the burners, should be heated. This
facilitates atomization, and a nigh tem
perature promotes a uniform flow of oil to
the burners.
"Fifth That the air requisite for com
bustion should also be heated before en
tering the furnace, in order to assist the
gasification of the oil products.
"Sixtn That either air or steam may be
used for atomizing purposes, but that
thermal efficiency is not increased by the
use of steam.
"Seventh That the consumption of
liquid fuel cannot be forced to quite so
great an extent with steam as the atomiz
ing agent as when compressed air is, used
for such purpose.
"Eighth That when using steam for
atomizing the oil, high pressures are ad
vantageous. "Ninth That a marine steam generator
can be forced to as h.gh degree with oil
as with coal.
"Tenth That under heavy forced draft
conditions, It has not yet been found pos
sible to- prevent smoke from Issuing from
the stack, although careful effort so to do
was made.
"Eleventh That no 111 effects upon the
boiler were noted as the result of the oil
tests.
"Twelfth That the efficiency of an oil
fuel plant Is more dependent upon the '
general character of the installation of
the auxiliaries and fittings than upon the
form of the burner. j
"Thirteenth That firemen generally 1
look with favor upon the substitution of j
oil for coal."
X Use Oil in Torpedo-Boat.
As the result of the Investigates thus
far conducted, the Chief of the Bureau
of Steam Engineering recommends the in
stallation of liquid appliances without de
l&y in at least a third of tho tnmprin.
boats and destroyers. With respect to
the larger vessels, and particularly the
battle-shins, the Installation of llmitri 1
fuel presents serious difficulties, entirely
apart from the question of the saisfac
tory use of oil under boilers. The safe
and convenient storage of a sufficient
supply of liquid fuei beneath the pro
tective decks of large ships-of-war and
the question of replenishing exhausted
fuel supply, whether In time of war or
peace, In case of vessels liable tb be sent
without warning to unfrequented harbors,
are grave matters. Inasmuch as such
obstacles are more easily dealt with in
the case of commercial steamers, the
problem of installing liquid fuel upon
fighting, vessels differs In Important fea-
tures from the same problem as applied '
to transports or the mercantile marine." !

Poet of the Paris Morprne.
London Telegraph.
A man who has had a little celebrity in
his time, namely, M. Clovls Pierre, known
as the "Poet of the Morgue." has died
For many years M. Pierre was the reg
