The new Secretary of the Navy has been long enough at the wheel to indicate the character of his administration. Every energy is apparently to be bent toward the improvement of the navy. New life 1s al- ready evident in all the bureaus and the service itself is being revivified. The as- sistant secretary is a!so a man of posilive convictions and goes to work with a will to second the aspirations of his chief. There is no friction between the two offi- cers. They work harmoniously and with an eye to the true interests of the navy. Mr, Roosevelt is an enthusiastic friend of the service and, like the Secretary himse!f, will leave no stone unturned to increas? 1s efficiency.

Dr. Sheldon Jackson of the bu- reau of education for Alaska, on board the Bear, recently touched et Indian Point, Si- beria. There he found the principal native of the village, Koharrt by name, a trader noted all along the coast. Writing of this old trader, Dr. Jackson says: “He has a little frame whalehouse, filled from floor to ceiling with tobacco, ficur and looking glasses, which he has ob- tained from the whalers, and from which he supplies the country for hundreds of miles around. man bas been known to have as much as $75,000 worth of bone in his storehouse at one time.

Their object was to find the enemy and check its advance, and having united with a force coming from Kings- bridge by Broadway, moved as the right flank of this imaginary torce to repel the attack of the “western force” on the city. The troops operating west of Broadway in the last stage of the movements were im-. agined.

Flagler, chief of ordnance of the army, un- der the caption, “Arming the Militia,” states that 24,564 Springfield rifies, caliber 45, have been issued to the following states: Arksnsas, 94; Connecticut, 1,834; New York, 13,060; Ohio, 3,000; South Caro- % lina, 660; South Dakota, 90; Tennessee, 140; Virginia, 659, and Wisconsin, 1,600. Of Springfield carbines, caliber .45, 591 were issued, as follows: Arkansas, 50; New York, 440, and Oregon, 101. Continuing, Gen. Flagler says: “The manufacture of new arms during the year ended June 30, 1897, comprised 28,899 magazine rifles and 2,930 magaziue carbines, model 1896. The rifles of model 1892 on hand have been fitted with sizhts of model 1896, and altered to-introduce as far as practicable the improvements per- taining to the later model. During about two and one-half months of the year the quality of steel for barrels required was not furnished by the contractor. This caused a suspension of the manufacture of barrels and the assembling of completed arms, though the manufacture of the other parts of the arm was continued. The de- |; livery of suitable steel for barrels com- |; menced in May.

But we kept after them and agreed to use thousands of pairs, and at last succeeded in attaining our end. While the margin of profit is exceedingly small on a stngle pair, it is very nearly offset by the immense number of pairs we - are now selling.
