The folloiring no? vesnels have boon rompleted

Is such as to indicate that they will be completed

STABILITY OF CERTAIN VESSELS.
Shortly before my last annual report was su??
mittcd the department discovered that the Detroit
and her sister ships, th? Montgomery and M
head, and the Machias uni h?-r sis;, r ship, t> i
Casttne, all then Hearing completion, were defl tient
in Initial stability. In order to obtain positive
and accuraM knowledge a board, of which ltear
Admiral J. G. Walker. United States Navy, wai
president, ami consisting of otBcers who had be :.
in nowise connected with th.- designing or ? on?
?tructloii of theae v?asela wss appmnte- t.? th"t

mendations a- might i..- deemed n?ec Mary. The
finding of this board In regard to the Detl
was made known to you In niy report for th- year
3SP3. The changea recommended in the three ship:?
of this clasj have teen male, and these vessels,
now fully equal to the exigencies of the naval
service, ar?- in commission. The board recom?
mended removing certain top weights from the
Machias and Castit .-. placing ballast in their bot?
toms, and lengthening each of them by fourteen
feet This has also 1.? t. done, ar.d the l*e_P?U of
the alterations has justified the wl?dO!*aT*?W>f tl.'
re. i mmendations. The dlscov ry of the error? it.
the construction of th?- two last-mentioned ships
Induce?! the department to extend the fun
of the Walker Hoard, ami to ord? r a th trough ex
aminatlon of all veaseli then In procesa o? i in?
struction about whose stability th<re could ta any
possible question, if errors, existed In the designs
of these other ships it was important that the de?
partment should have knowledge of them at the
very earliest moment. The repon "f tl?- board
was highly satisfactory, and especially so a* :??
the battleships, the board reporting that: "The
result of the Inclining experiment of the calcula?
tions of the?.- vess.-is is n mosi satisfactory an l
? ratifying verification of the t suit of the orignal
esign, demonatrating ?? remarkable degree of ac?
curacy In ti.-- calculatlona" The difference be?
tween the estimates and the actual result was
five-eighth? o? an inch less mctecentric height
than design.
IHK BURSAU ?SYSTEM.
\ With us difficulties are no doubt enhanced by ti
fact that wa have tour separate so ? distinct bi

<iur bureau system has Justly provoked mucl
criticism In the past. Tha: i; hi- id van tage? noon
can deny, if the lines dlvl ling du le- i ould t.<- alw iy
clearly laid down, if conflicts of authority >uld b
avoided, if harmonious an-j prompt co-operatloi
could always be secured and duplication of srorl

Jn the hull affe.-tl.it, the work of any other hureau,

affected, to the Secretary for his approval or dis

NECESSITY FOR A SIPPLY OK ORDNANCE
The gun? required for the new vessels heretofore
authorlicd are now so nearly completed that tho
construction of a sufficient reserve supply i-liould
te begun without delu;, and the Mepartment
recommend? an appropri itlon to that end. Tim
ii'osi eementary maxim? '?am u? that if It be worth
while to maintain a nav- at ail. we must also hive
a reserve supply of ordnance and ordnance stores,
,.nd certainly we need not call on military ?jclence
to tell u? that our reserve of naval vebsel? is of no
value without gun?.
C.ngr.??? should give careful attention to the
ordnance requirements of vessels that are llabbi
to be called Into service as aixillar!.-? In time of
war. In accordance with the acts of Conm-ess ap?
proved March 3, is_l. and May 10, 18?2. providing
that ateamers registered under the provisions of
aald acta can lie used by the I'nited States as trans?
ports or cruiser?. To mention no othera, the Paris
and New-York, of the Inman Line, are now recelv
i - ;e sums - r* money annually on condition

After the date of my last report, exhaustive pra

PERSONNEL OF THE NAVY.
A?rriln I fiel it my duty to call J'? ur attention to
the ?great an i tm swing need for Congressional sc?
tion in reference to the personnel of tta Une of the
Navy. Th?- evils pus. nted In my last report are
even greater to-day than then, and will Increase un?
t'.l the situation becomes so filous that only the
most itrtngent, far-reaching, and barah measure?
Will suffice to remove them. Tta J"!nt commission
from the Committee? on Naval Affairs of both
Houses, referred to in my laal report, bad the en?
tire subject "f the ?personnel under consideration
during the greater part of tta Brat session ol tl

listed fore? allowed the Navy Will suffice to man.
Calculations place this Increase al not lean iban

should be so worded as p. permit the department to
enlist them whenever nt ?le.I.
TUB NAVAL WAR CNOU-BOX.
For some years after the subject was first
brought to my attention I was not Inclined to be?
lieve that the _4tvaatagoi to ta derived from a
war ?ollrge us It was csiablished were sufficient
to justify the SatPOSldltUrS n<'< essu.-y tO keep It In
operation. A visit, however, to that Institution
at Newport, In the summer of USA, and a careful
study of the whole subject have sufficed to change
my convictions on the __*_Joet, My careful ex?
amination of this whole QUQStlOB greatly im?
pressed me with the Importance of at OBOS SStab?

LABOR AT NAVY TARDS.
The system of employing workmen si navy ynr.
. a Board of Lab >r, taking thi m s Ithoi
reference to politico and In the order of their a|
plication, giving preference to veterans and the
with form.:- navy yard experience, has been a
hered to, and continue to be commended with,a
exception bj all naval officers and others who
duties luv.- brought them in contact with it. 1
is believed that those taken on Uli ugh these lab
boards at tbe several yards ur.- politically dlride?
approxlmately, In the proportion that the parti?
bear lo each other In the vicinity of such yard.
No instance of favoritism In the employment ?
labor i- believed to have .rurred, and. Indeed, n
well-founded complaint on that score has al an
time been mad.-.
Following the line of policy marked oui in m;
