width from tlia entrance of Ui« bay to
Hunter's Point to allow for the safe
passage of the combined fleets. It Is
possible that some Blight accident may
overtake a ship, compelling the vessel
to steer out of line to avoid collision.
Plenty of room on each side must be
allowed tor such contingency.
. The plan for anchorage of the Pacific
fleet near Angel Island was devised in
Washington and was thought to be
best that conditions provided for the
•purpose and allow the ships of that
fleet to fall into lino as the Atlantic
lleet steamed in.
The Nebraska and Wisconsin are to
join the Atlantic fleet nt San Francisco
lightship on the evening of May 5 and
proceed the following morning with
the divisions to which they have been
assigned, the Nebraska to the second
and the Wisconsin to the fourth.
The long sweep to the southward to
Hunter's Point before turning north to
Oio final anchorage was necessitated,
Capt. Grant stated, by the strong in
coming tide at the hour the ships were
to anchor. It would be Impossible to
bring the ships to anchor in the forma
tion planned In any other way.
Tho distance from the turn at Hun
ter's Point to the place of anchorage,
which is about two miles, would al
lnw for all ships getting In proper po
sition for letting go the anchors.

BEST RECORD IN FLOTILLA
By Associated Tress.
SAN DIEGO April 23.— torpedo
boat destroyer Truxton of the second
Atlantic flotilla, commanded by Lieut.
Charles S. Kerrlck of Stockton, will
give the PreblP a hard race for the
championship of (lie navy.
At the target practice at Magdalena
last week the Truxton is reported to
have made a better score by "1 per
cent than any of the other destroyers
of the flotilla. Not only at target
practice, but in coal consumption,
speed and endurance, Is the, Truxton
the champion of the flotilla.
Since leaving Hampton roads she has
consumed less coal than any of the
destroyers attached to the flotilla. The
endurance run from Hampton roads to
Magdalena also resulted in a victory
for the Truxton.
It was on the river Para that the
Truxton won the speed championship.
The vessels raced over a distance of
seventy miles and at the finish the
T,ruxton had a good lead over the Hop
kins, which finished second. On the
speed trial all of the destroyers
steamed on two boilers. The Truxton
maintained an average speed of 21.
knots an liojir.

NEW YORK, April 29.—Hiram
Maxim and Alexander Graham Bell
were among the speakers at the Al
dine club meeting last night. Both
spoke on aeronautics, in which they
are deeply Interested. The Aldlno club
Is composed of magazine editors, pub
lishers ml literary men,
Mr. Maxim made a forecast of the
part the aeroplane will probably play
In the work of the future. Of the fly-
Ing 1 machine In war he said this:
"Although the. value of the flying
machine will be mainly on a scouting
craft, still its value and importance
for that service alone is hard to over
estimate, for the flying machine vi
rtettes will at once be the eyes and
ears of the armies of the future; and
they will have their use in naval war
fare, too, for there will be aerial tor
pedo scouts on the lookout for tor
pedo boats to signal the approach of
danger.
"Plying machines could not be ex
pected successfully to attack battle
ships, coast fortifications or large
| cities, to do much damage with high
explosives, but they might attack tor
pi do craft with aerial bombs planted
and exploded beside them In the water,
and it is possible they may be very
mischievous Indeed. The aerial navy
will be a bulwark of peace."

"Now I do not need the minutes you
alluded to," Enid Mr. Pierce.
