NAVY HAS ITS TROUBLES
Can't Build Battleship for $6.
000,000 Under 8 -Hour Law. ■
Fr-.rr Th' Tribune Bureau,!
t\*ashlngton. Dec. 3.— The - naval authori
ties are considerably perplexed over the
construction of the battleship and the two
fleet colliers authorized at the last session
of Congress. No acceptable bids have been
received for the construction of the colliers. |
The contract for the battleship . will un
doubtedly be awarded to the Newport New-
Company, the proposal of that company
being within the limit of cost and the form
agreeing to abide by the Fitzgerald amend
mem in the navp.l appropriation act ap
plying the eight-hour law to this work.
The Navy Department has been unable,
even with the assistance of the Attorney,
Genera;, to specify exactly what is required
in the Tray of observances of the law, and
it Is possible that the Newport News C«im
'pany may encounter difficulties, in which
event the case will be carried to the Court
of Claims. It is iltosefner a question of
where the line may be drawn separating
the work or, "which -hour lanor may
be, employed from the work upon "winch the
ten-hour day will apply.
It has b«en discovered, al-o. that the bat.
tleship which was to have been built at the
New York Navy Yard cannot be built there
within the KMMM which iF the limit of
cost, although it might be possible to do
this by accepting the bid for supplying the
mach'r>ery from the General Electric Com
pany, but as the design of the machinery
incorporated in the bid has never been
practically tried en a warship, it is doubt
ful if th« Navy Department will consider
th- proposal favcrafcly. There is much
risk involved. The com pan desires to have
a practical test made at government ex
... while tne pr-in-chief of th
naw ... that this shouid be done by
way cf demonstration on the part of the -
manufacturers. It locks as if the Navy De- ;
partment would have to go to Congress to ■
ask that th- limit of cost for the battleship
and the fleet colliers be increased.

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Surgeon Genera! Condemns the
Naval Physical Tests. .
[From Th- Tribune Bnreau.]*.
Washington. December 3.
HEALTH OF NAVY BETTER.-The
health "of the American navy was better
in IMB than in any other year of the last
decade, and the death rate .was the lowest
ever recorded for that arm of the service,
according, to the annual report of Surgeon
General . Stokes to ; the Secretary of the
Navy. The record death rate was five in a
thousand. The percentage of sick from dis
ease and injuries in l? 09 was 4.613, as com
pared with a ten-year average of 5.21S-
From disease only in 19** the percentage of
sick was 3.952. which is lower than any
other year since th- Spanish-American War.
The present annual physical test for
naval officers;, consisting of walking or rid
ing a prescribed number of miles within a
time limit, according to the consensus of
opinion of medical officers, the sursreon gen
eral says, has utterly failed to accomplish
the design to encourage regular daily ex
ercise. Very few have derived any real
benefits, while- considerable real harm has
resulted. Dr. Stokes recommends that more
recreative end continuous exercise he sub
stituted, and for the younger personnel of
the navy he urges the adoption of the
Swedish system of physical training, which
is followed in the British service.
SHOT,BEATING ARMOR.— The ap
pear? to be petting the better of the armor
in the never ending contest for pupremacy
between . th- -two. -according to Rear Ad
miral N. E. Mason, chief of the Naval
Ordnance Bureau. Tn his annual report he
says -that the conditions and outlook with
regard to armor piercing projectile?, for
merly unsatisfactory, haw Improved much
during the year, the quality of The shells
supplied by certain firms is better and the
outlook Is more satisfactory than for sev
eral years past, though the lack of an ade
quate supply of large calibre shells con
tinues to be a matter of serious concern.
On the- other hand, the advance in armor
has not been entirely satisfactory, fo far
as thick plates are concerned, and certain
new processes, while giving promise of ulti
mate ' improvement, have failed to lend
themselves to the installation of the armor
on chipboard. In the mean time the older
processes are being left behind by the im
provement in projectile?.
CHAPLAIN REPRIMANDED. — The
"War Department has reprimanded < 'hap
ltiin Joseph H. Sutherland, "3d Infantry-,
oh duty at Fort Blis.-., Texas, and recently
in the Philippines with his regiment. He
war appointed to the army from West Vir
ginia, and belongs to the ' Presbyterian
Church. He took an enthusiastic "and ac
tive part in the affairs of the regiment
•when it was stationed at Plattsburg Bar
racks. New York, some years ago, and
later when it. was on duty at the Jamestown
exposition. He had "been instrumental in
devising, means for the entertainment of
the enlisted men. and one of the products
of his activity lias been a little paper which
was called, the "Lantaka," after one of the
weapons of aboriginal warfare. The paper
appeared occasionally, and much of its con
tents were derived from Chaplain Suther
land. He freely discussed army subjects,
and the paper gained some reputation for
independence of expression. While the
regiment was on duty in the Philippines,
Chaplain Sutherland enlivened the columns
of the "Lantaka" with some allusions to
official conditions which did not meet with
the entire approval of the commanding
gfn"ral at Manila. General Puvall felt
call<rd upon to direct the attention of the
War Department to Chaplain Sutherland's
comments, and took exception to the criti
cism of the headgear worn by troops in the
islands. The incident is considered closed
with a formal letter of reproof to the
chaplain from the War Department.

"With her smokestack and brtghrwnrk
mated with salt. E. C. Ben<?dicfs twenty

The Oneida. with her owner and James
B Ford, vice-president of the Vnited
States Rubber '""ompany and owner of the
fast schooner yacht Katrina. as his ptiest,
started from Bermuda at noon last Mon
day. Her owner, skipper and crew all
agree that if she had not been built of the
best material that could be put into a ves
sel of her size she would now surely have
been hinsr at the bottom of the Atlantic.
The yacht ran Into a gale that develope*
huriicane proportions directly after leav

eighty miles an hour, and the seas con
stantly sweeping over her decks, maiunsj It
extremely difficult to hold steam enough to
keep her head to it.
•'Four days of hell."" is the way Commo
dore Benedict characterized the weather.
"First we had a blizzard. ' said he when

it blew like all the time. Tt thundered
while it snowed, and finally we sighted a
waterspout." < aptatn Martin Olsen. the

days of bad weather he had ever ex
perienced.
