THEY ARE EXVECTED TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN THE DOLPHIN, In view ofthe many defects in the Dolphin as reported by the examining board, the question arises whether the three cruisers, the Boston, Atlanta and Chicago, which are in course of construction by John Roach, will be open to simijar eriticism. It js the opinion among naval olicers that these will prove to be good vessels In every sense of the word. Asa reason for this opinion it fs stated that ‘the advisory board were much better quailtied to design 4 cruiser than a dispateh boat, and that there will be but litile, ifany,fuult to find with the designs of the cruisers. if there are any defects in the con struction of the vessels it is thought that Mr, Roach will have ample time to remedy them, and will take advantage of the criticisms on the Dolphin to prevent any similar ones being made when the vessels are completed. One of the chief defects in the Dolphin us reported by the exanMng board was a_lack of suilicient bracing of her machinery. Sucha defect can be readily avoided, itis said, iu the other vessels, THE DUTIES OF THE ADVISORY BOARD EXPIRE WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE CRUISERS. In view of the numerous newspaper para- graphs as to the probability of the abotition of the naval advisory board it may be stated that e board was abolished by act of the last Con- gress so far as any future construction of ves sels ts concerned. "Their duties terminate with the completion of the erulsers which are now In course of construction, and they will nothing to do with building of the oth sels which was authorized. It is within the power of the Secretary of the Navy to change he members of the present board at any time he may see fit, or in the another board with,however, less authority and power than the present bourd possesses, court of Inquiry will be ordered to inve: the proceedings of the advisory board in con- nection with the construction of the Dolphin is regarded as very probab future to establish District Government Affairs.

Internal Revenue Officials Dismissed. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AND IS To BE DONE. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury authorized the statement published In yesterday’s Star that in pursuance of the policy adopted by him of cutting down the expenses of the various bu- Teaus of the department wherever possible without detriment to the public service, three hundred persons, employed as storekeepers ana gaugersin the internal revenue service, have been removed since the 20th of March, their Places to be left vacant. The average per diem Pay of these employes was $4, making a saving of $1,200 per day to the government. A STAR reporter gathered the following additional facts at the Treasury department: On the 20th of March there were 759 gaugers in the service, and a reduction of 296 [t was thought could be Tade, sas to bring the number down to 463. ‘Thus far 159 have been dispensed with, and the erreduction is being steadily made. On the 22d of April there were 493 storekeepers assigned and 124 unassigned, und 678 servi as both storekeepers and gaugers assigned an 340 unassigned, makinz 1,637 in the service at that time. “CF these 141 have been removed. A list has been made out of the various revenue districts, with the number of gauzers and store- keepers In cach district, and the number in each it is thought to "be possible to dis- Pense with, Letlers are written to the Gollectors of internal revenue asking, them to reduce their foree as much as possible, and send to the department the names of the ost inefficient men, who may be dispensed with. ‘This is a sort of gentle hint, and ifit is not taken the department sends agents into the district toexainine into the matter and decide how many may be dispensed with. In this way the teduction’ is golug on steadily. Besides this there are twenty-two yacancies in the service here which will not be filled, and, according to the new legislation, this number must be more than twenty-nine before any appointments can be made. Last year’s appropriation tor the in- ternal revenue ‘servige was $5,150,000, and there was a deficiency at the end of the year. ‘This year it is expected that, with the same ap- propriation, 00,000 can be turned in as an unexpended balance at the end of the year, and itis claimed to ve possible to so economise the service as to save over a million dollars the next fiscal year, ‘These reductions have been made from time to time independently of the special Treasury com- mission which bas been examining into the af fairs of the bureau.

VIEWS OF A NAVAL OFFICE—EVILS OF BUILD- ING SUCH VESSELS BY CONTRACT, ETC. “Can John Reach build what everybody would consider a good vessel?” asked a STAR reporter of a prominent naval officer. “Of course he can, if he is paid for it,” was the reply. “But when he is compelled to compete with other builders, and is awarded the con- tract because he bids the lowest, he is apt to build his vessel in conformity with the price. Itis a well-known fact that ane vessels: built by him in this way are weak in construc- tion.” “Do you think it possible to bulla naval ves- sels in this country equal to foreign men-of- war?” asked the reper ‘No, I do not; simply because we have vot had the experience.

His hands were thrust into his Pantaloons pockets and his feet were crossed. is feet were extended towards the monument, and he Was lying In such a position that if he had risen he would have faced the monument.

Special Cable Dispatch to Tae EvENixo Stan. Loxpox, June 20.—In the great political game here for the moment no progress is made, the Teason being that the conservatives’ relation to office is like that of the man who had the wolf by the ears—they can neither holdon nor let They cannot hold on because the difficulth facing them are insuperable, a discomfiture and ridicule await them, and they cannot let go, because it Is their last chance for @ tory government possibly forever. POOR CONSERVATIVES HUNGRY FOR OFFICE. But there is also an infinitely more important reason, though probably it will be a surprise to Americans to learn it. This is because a large number of the conservatives who would gi office are poor men, and desperately eager Secure some of the large emoluments at disposal of the ministry. This is common gos- sip in society here. Lord Randolph Churehiil, for instance, has an income of two thousand pounds per annum, and lives at the rate of five thousand, Many others are really quite poor, SOME OF THE EAT PLACES, If Gibson, for instance, holds the position he is mentioned for, namely, lord chancellor of Ireland, for only a month, he will retire with a pension of seventeen thousand five hundred dollars a year for life. His salary while he holds the position will be forty thousand dol- lars. So, too, Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, a min of great experience and attainments, but of limited means, has been an invaluable sup- porter of Lord 1 ph Churchill, and one of the latter's tixed conditions was. the due recog- nition of the former by the new cabinet.
