While no practical inconvenience may have resulted from the proviso sbi e mentioned In thta particular instance, I deem It my duty to very respectfully submit fur the cunalderar tioa of the congress the suggest io a that the Insertion of this proviso has established a precedent of doubtful merit; that Its moral effect, both at homa and abroad, has not been wholly desirable, aad that It appears In forcible contrast to the action of at least one foreign government In dealing with the eeme subject-matteIt la the universal desire at the construction departmenta In navias to keep their designs, aa nearly aa possible, secret; and, eo far as I am aware, this la the only Instance In which disapproval of this policy has been apparently indicated by the legislative branch of any government. New Inventions in Novel Warfare. The deportment and its bureaus frequently receive suggestions of formidable and more or lese mysterious agencies of destruction, intended to protect the country from hostile fleets without the maintenance of a navv or the construction of ahlps of war. These designs very seldom show more then and misspent Ingenuity: but reference is here made to them because they constitute an outcropping of an idea'peralatently cherished by many people that the pro gross of acirmce may do away with the necessity of fighting. As an Illustration of this sentiment, I may note the frequency with which new types of structures have been thought destined to make battle ships obsolete. This wai first expected of automobile torpedoes, then of torpedo craft, then of submarines, and, lately, even of dirigible balloons. Experience baa Indeed Indicated that all of these several Inventions, except the last, may have a legitimate, although very circumscribed, field of utility In modern naval warfare: bnt I feel that I ought to place on record hi this connection the conviction of the department that the only trustworthy safeguard for our country egalnst Injury from a hostile battleship Is tn have at least one American battleship ready to deal with her. Increase of the Nsvy. In my last annual report I stated that the aggregate of our battleship, e armored cruiser, and vessels built, building, or authorized, would seem, according to present Indications. sufficient to provide for eny contingencies within the limits of probability." When tbta statement was made the facte seemed to Justify an assumption, at least tentatively, that the foreign navies with which it la material to compare our own had. In general, reached the limits of extension immediately contemplated, snd there appeared to some person a fair prospect that some reduction of naval armaments or. at all events, some limitation to 'heir Indefinite Increase. might result from the contemplated Hague conference. Without sharing the expectation. I yet deemed that I could then safely speak as I did; but. without going Into detailed explanations, w'ulch are needless and might be objectionable. It la tny duty now to report to you and to congress that. In my judgment, circumstance have an far changed as to make provision for a meliorate Increase In the effective fighting strength of our navy the part of patriotic foresight at present. I recommend, therefore, that, as soon as may be practicable at this session. ;h corgi css authorise the construction of a slater ship to the one already authorized and of which the plans are n"w submitted; so that, by simple duplicating these plans and the further detailed specifications and drawings hat bsd r. g by which they are to be supplemented. we can have two vessels of this clasa completed within tba time which would otherwise be needed for the construction of only one. proximately 25,000,000 (estimated).

Efforts to Ba Mada to Reduce tha In. terest. New York, Dec. 7. According to Dr. William H. Maxwell, city superintendent of schools, and Dr. John J. Cronin, assistant chief medical Inspector of the board cf health. It has been dem- onstrated that surgery can transform a bad boy Into a good one. This achievement, among others equally beneficial, was the result of an operation performed recently upon n pupil from a school In the lower East Side, whose nsme la withheld. Primarily the operation was resorted to, not with the notion of Improving the lada moral character, but for the removal of a physical defect. For a long time the boy, who is about 14 years old, and the son of poor parents, had been Incorrigible In and out of school. After tbe operation, which was for the removal of adenoids. there was a surprising change In the buy. He became more cheerful, lost hla surly manner, and, without threats or coercion, but merely In response to a kindly suggestion, he stopped smoking cigarettes, a habit to which he had been addicted.
