PECKETART WHITNEY'S REPORT.
The following if a synopsis of the au
nual report of Secretary of the Nary Whit
ney, as given oul.?oaight. The report be
gins by saying: 'There is at present no real
responsibility for Uie care and disposition
of property. If in one bureau a property
account is kept and in others none, proper
ty lost, misused or stolen cannot be traced
or accounted for hnd no person can be held
responsible. The fourth auditor, in his re
port just issued, calls attention to this re
markable circumstance, which was also re
ferred to iu my last annual report. The
inventory shows', a very large and un
necessary accumulation of stores
aud supplies by the different
bureau-, aggregating over twentv millions
of dollars in appraised value. The boaid
reports between three aud four millions in
value to be obsolete and useless at the pres
ent time, only entailing expense for keep
ers and constant care to preserve them ia
condition.
I Regarding the new cruisers the report
says the experience of the department in
its first attempt at the creation of modern
vessels of war has been such as to excite
the greatest concern and disappointment.
When the Dolphin, Eoston, Atlanta and
Chicago were projected and the contracts
for their construction entered into, it was
well know what speed ought to be attained
and what weight and character of machin
ery per ton of displacement was necessary
to obtain it.
Commercial vessels had at that time at
tained speeds ranging between sixteen and
nineteen knots, and cruisers were being
built in other countries or had alrcadj-been
built, attaining the same speed. The sec
retary compares'trial trips of the Dolphin
and Atlanta with English aud Frep
boats only recently completed to the dis
advantage of the former. The Dolphin
was designed 2.JS00 horse power, and devel
oped less than 2,200; while the Alacrity
and Surprise. English boats, r f 3,000 de
veloped 3,178 and 0,079 respective! v. The
Atlanta was designed to attain JJ.oUO horse
power. imt her engines develop
less than that'. These facts,
the report says, are staled
without any intention of locating responsi
bility or blame upon any person it is im
possible to ascertain where it should be
placed. In considering the matter of con
structing the aiditional vessel authorized
by congress in March, 1SS0, it was decided
by the department to exhaust every effort
to avail itself of the most advanced "thought
and knowledge attained by our own and
other countries upon the subject. The re
port says the department has accumulated
a large amount of information which will
be utilized in the construction of vessels in
the future.
The report then gives a resume of bids
and awards for the new cruisers. It treats
of the armor aud guns for monitors aud
iron clads at great lngth and deprecates
that this couury should be content to be
dependent upon manufacturers of aay
other nation for the fabrication of armor
and high powered guns.
The secretary says it would be a great
benefit at the preent time if the appoint
ment of a commission should be authorized
to lay before the next congress a compre
hensive scheme of construction, such com
mission to be composed of both civilian
and naval experts tit to deal with the sub
ject. If congress should at its next session
make provision for the manufacture in this
country of armor and of high powered
guns, aud should take steps for securing a
broader and more intelligent consideration
ui wuiu is proper io i)c uncieriaKen, no
time would iu the end be lost and mistakes
would be avoided. Meanwhile it is my
duty to call attention to the urgent neccs
sity for immediate action.
Concerning the expenditures the report
says in the adjustment of the expenditures
for the fiscal year ending June 31),
1SSG, and after paying all liabilities
tor the year, it is believed that there will
prentices oe aduulted to the academy and
says it is the desire of the department that
the naval service should not be open to any
charge of exclusiveness, the sole exception
to thi sound and wholesome principle of
our national policy. To this end it would
recommend that meaure- le taken by
which, under proper safe guanls, admis
sion to the-naval academy might lie given
to a limited number of apprenticewho
should -be then subjected to
the amc cour-e of training
and examination as the other cadet.?.
?nd hte fef uer the application of a um-
?on? should stand or fall solely "accord
m !? the strea or weakness of his own
merits.
The reminder of the report is devoted to
a detailed report from heads of various
bureaus.

San Francisco, Dec. 3. Those who
hoped this morning would prove brighter
than lasUnight's close on the mining stock
exchange were disappointed. The San
Francisco boards met promptly at C:J!0; a
few minutes later the Consolidated Virgin
ia rang out at 40, quickly followed by a
drop to 39. Best and Belcher which closed
last night at 23, opened this morning at 21,
aud in a few minutes went to 20, bears
making savage onslaughts on these two
stocks, but opinions on the street are that
the bulls are too atrong, and that the bears
will go down in the struggle. Middle
stocks show improvement, bears devoting
lass attention to them. Savage, which
closed at 12.70 last night opened at 1G and
lurthcr improved to" 17. Ohollar gained
six bits, going to G.00. Potosi jumped
from G.87 1-2 to 9.00, and to 10.S7 1-2.
Opi was the only north end stock which
showed improvement, opening at 20.50
with a further improvement a few minntes
later to 2G.

San Francisco, Doc. 3. The failures
of Robert F. Morrow, a prominent capi
talist, John McKenzie, a stock broker, and
Kuhllman& Oo., brokers, were announced
today. Morrow, who for many years has
been a prominent figure of this city, has
been selling calls on stocks anil the boom
in prices entailed a loss to him of a quarter
of a million of dollars. He claims to be
still worth a million over liabilities. Mc
Kenzie's losses are $100,000. luihllman
& Co. say their loss is $20,000. They ex
pect to reopen in a few day.
The failures made no impression on the
market.
The Outlook for Business.
New York, Dec. 3. Special telegrams
to Bradstreet's point to a moderate gain in
the movement of general merchandise from
Boston, New "ork, Detroit, Milwaukee,
St, Paul, Minneapolis, New Orleans and
San Francisco. Except in so far as this i
due to increased breadstuffs and other ex
ports from the Atlantic seaports named,
the gain is due to a stimulated retail de
mand for dry goods, groceries aud notions
owing to good weather and to the approach
of the holiday season.
There is no material change at Phila
delphia, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Louisville,
Chicago, St. Louis and Kans:is City. At
most points a widespread confidence ii re
ported in the future of general trade, not
withstanding a noticeable check to the
mavement of goods from first hands in tex
tile and other lines.
