The scheme la In keeping with the navy de partment's endeavor to have our gun- ' nera rank highest In the world In point or accuracy and rapidity or fire, as well aa In other ways, and the splendid avowing made this year by the ships has evoked high praise from the offi cials at Washington. inn year am rftcino atruaarcm, gTom manded by Rear -Admiral Olass, was on dered to Panama during the recent revo lutlon between Panama and Colombia.

' While no aotual comparison can be 'made between the soorea made thla year and thoae of former years, on ao count of the conditions not being such , as to Insure ecourat scores, sufficient Is known to warrant the assurance .that thla year's scores were the beet ever taada bx the navy.

The Interest manifested by th offi cials at Waahlngton regarding the target practice waa appropriately expreased by Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau of navigation, in a letter to the officers of the Paul Jones,' complimenting them upon the- SDlendld showing made. To Captain Davison considerable credit Is due first. and principally for the sight that he cleverly devised, and which is of Inestimable' service in giv ing the gunners the proper aim; and, secondly for the careful and painstak ing- manner In which he Instructs the men In . his command.
