An Interesting Account of the En- gincering Operations During the Past Wear — Money Needed. The annual report of Engireer-in-Chief Melville gives an interesting account of the engineering operations of the navy during the past fiscal year, and contains several suggesticns for improvements in that im- portant branch of naval construction. The total expenditures on account of steam machinery during the year were $668,562, leaving an unexpended balance of $6,437 cn hand July 1 last. Considerable work was accomplished during the year in the prepa- ration of plans and specifications for tor- pedo boats, two tugs and two battle ships. Work on the machinery of the Chicago has been continued at the navy yard, New Yerk, and fair progress has been made, rotwithstanding delays in the receipt of material. Liquid Fuel Tests. A series of tests to determine the value of, liquid fuel for small boats is now in progress at the navy yard, New York, one of the torpedo boats of the Maine being used for that purpose. The trials are to be exhaustive, ard It is believed by Commo-. dore Melville that much valuable iniforma- tion will be derived from them. He says that one of the gunboats now bullding at Newport News would be an admirable ves- sel for testing the merits of liquid fuel for naval purposes. Water Tube Boilers. The necessity for a type of boiler lighter than the Scotch or cylindrical fire-tube pattern has directed increased attention to the merits and possibilities of the water- tube variety. Many patents have been taken out by ingenious and able inventors in the hope of prodncing a boiler that will contain all the good points demanded by the marine engineer. Commodore Melville says that no single type has yet made its appearance, however, which can be regard- ed as an altogether satisfacto~y substitute for the Scotch pattern, and for this reason the bureau has not recommended their use in the larger and more important vessels, believing it better, for the present at least, to confine them to torpedo boats, gunboats and the smaller cruisers. ‘Conservative as this bureau may he regarded on this sub- ject,” says Commodore Melville, “it has been In advance of every marine engineer- ing estabilshiaent in America; for while private firms refused to guarantee a water- tube boiler for naval purposes, the bureau insisted upon their installation asa part of the power in the coast-defense monitor Monterey. New Machinery for the Atlanta. The engine of the cruiser Atlanta ts re- ported to be of an obsolete type and un- necessarily heavy, and it {s argued that it would be false economy to continue it in use with new boilers. Commodore Melville says the hull of this vessel is in excellent condition and well worth new machinery, and he recommends that an appropriation of $150,000 be made immediately available. to commence the construction of new machin- ery for this vessel, and that alterations be made to her hull so as to allow the fitting of twin screws. He says that the boilers of the Boston, a sister ship, can probably be ade to last one more cruise, and that sim- ar changes in hull and machinery should tien bela tomer During the year slight repairs were made at the Washington navy yard to the ma- chinery or steam plant of the Cushing, Dale, Dolphin, Fern and Triton. The e¢xpendi- tures during the year at this yard on this and other accounts were $4,334. Not Enough Cadets. Commodore Melville calls attention to the fact that the number of naval cadets in the engineer division now being graduated by the Naval Academy is not sufficient to sup- ply the vacancies in the corps by deaths, retir: ments and resignations. “If some means cannot be devised whereby the en- gineer division at the academy can be in- creased,” he says, “recourse must be had to the technical schools and colleged ef the country to fill the vacancies, as the num- ber of engineer officers is now less than al- lowed by law, and very muzh less than the needs of the service require.” The report contains a statement of the condition of the machinery of all the ves- sels in the United States navy, from which it appears that all vessels in commission are in good or fair condition, with the excep- tion of the machinery of the Atlanta, Dolphin, Fern, Nipsic, Omaha, Pinta and Wabash. Estimates for Next Year. Among the estimates for the bureau for the next fiscal year are $425,000 for com- pleting and repairing machinery and Deilers; $325,000 for purchase of material and stores, including machinery and tools; $150,000 for new machinery of the Chicago; $150,000 for new machinery for the Atlanta; $60,000 for new boilers for the Dolphin; $100,000 for new machinery for the old frigate Hartford; $50,000 for a complete boiler-making plant at the League Island nevy yard, and $49,205 for extra tools for the navy yard at Norfolk. The increased estimate for new material is due to the increased work required on new vessels. _—______. e+—____—__ MES. D. P. BOWERS AT REST. Becutifal and Impressive Funeral Services Over the Eminent Actress. The funeral services of the late Mrs. D. P. Bowers were held. yesterday afternoon at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in the presence of a large and distinguished throng of those who had known and loved the talented woman in Ife and had gath- ered to pay the last sorrowful tribute to her dust. The pastor, Rev. J. B. Perry, conducted the ceremonies, which were beautiful and impressive in the extreme. Mrs. Kittie Thompson Berry, Miss Simonds, Mr. George Lillebridge and Mr. C. E. Rice sarg the burial chant and “Asleep In Jesus,” and Mrs. Berry sang “Angels Ever Bright and Fair.” Prof. J. W. Cheney was the organist. The floral tributes were no- ticeably numerous and exquisite, and most of them were sent by prominent actors, actresses and theatrical <nanagers in va- rious portions of the country. Among those present at the church were Miss Marie Wainwriget, Barton Hill, John W. Albaugh, and messages of sympathy were received from Joseph Jefferson, Mrs. Sol. Smith, Louisa Eldridge, John Drew, Fred. Warde, Barney McAuley and a host of others who were unable to attend in person. Previous to the obsequies at the church a large number of friends of the lamented actres3 called at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank V. Bennett, the son-in-law and daughter of Mrs. Bowers, to take a last look at her sweet and enue features. Mr. Walter Bowers was present, but Mr. Har- r¢ C. Bowers could not reach the city in time from far-off Oregon. He will be here ‘Tuesday morning, however, and the cere- mores at the grave will then be held. —$——_—— Real Estate at Auctio: Ratcliffe, Sutton & Co., auctioneers, have sold at public sale the property 606 Penn- sylvania avenue northwest, having a front- age of 25 feet and extending back to B street, the total area being 2.630 square feet, to Martha V.

Senator Mitchell Tells What is the Matter With the Demooratio Party. . No Likelihood That It Will Indorse Silver Since the Object Lesson - in Kentucky, “A great deal has been said about the elections of Tuesday being a condemnation of bosses,” said Senator Mitchell of Wiscon- sin to a Star reporter. “When a man of unusually bright mind secures an important place in his party he is called a ‘boss.’ One of the characteristics of our government is that as soon as a man reaches distinction a thousand forces conie into play to pull him down. “The democratic party is suffering from the effects of the hard times. Ever since the panic set in the trend of public opinion has been away from democracy. It was shown to be so in the elections of last year, and it was emphasized Tuesday. If times are prosperous and industry continues to look up and to improve, the democratic party will receive the benefit of such im- provement. Has Seen Darker Days. “But I have seen much darker days than tHese for the democratic party. It looked pretty bad for the party after the war, when nearly everything calculated to discredit us was placed at our door. But there was a vital principle in the doctrines of democracy which was destined to make the party great, and which will always make it important. “There is no likelihood, in my judgment, of the party indorsing silver. The result in Kentucky will be an object lesson not soon to be forgotten in that relation. There the issue was square and open, and where the republican candidate indorsing sound money was elected. The silver issue Is a very an- noying one to both republicans and demo- crats, and perhaps is more annoying to the democrats than to ihe republicans. It cap- not hope to dominate the party, however.” —_—_-e Herdic Suggestions. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will The Star please agitate the subject of herdic service in this city? Are the herdics intended for the convenience of the public? I am sick and tired of standing on the street in the rain (or shine) waiting an intermin- able length of time for a herdic to appear. When one does come it is so crowded that the driver does not even stop. Two more pass in the same condition. By this time four or five prospective passengers have joined me on the corner. The fourth herdie fails to appear, and we become drenched and angry. When it does come we all have to stand, and, of course, I am five or ten min- utes late at my office. I had ratherrise an hour earlier and walk twice the distance, but that is not the point. If, through indisposi- tion, or for any other reason, I choose to pay my Yare and ride, I have a right to demand that the convenience shall be a convenience, The travel on the herdics from 7 to 9 and from 4 to 6 o'clock is so great that unless one livec near the terminus the chances are that the experience I have related will hold good, and especially on stormy days. Every one grumbles. I have never yet heard any one say that the herdics were a convenience except for their route. If the company had any business perception it would see that it is working against its own interests. But that is not the only consideration, for the interests of the land owners and real estate dealers in those sections suffer also. Time and again have I heard house hunters de- cline to consider the house that was so near a herdic line as to make them dependent on herdics for transportation. If the present herdic company cannot do business in a businesslike way, it should give up the attempt and let some one else try it. A few more herdics during the busy part of the day and the company would gain the fares of all those who are forced to walk, or go out of their way to take a Con- necticut avenue or 14th street car.
