In the order issved today Maj.

Answers Inquiry Regarding Burials in Grounds of Epixcopal Cathedral, Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee of the dioc of Washington has addressed the Distri Commissioners a communication in reply to an inquiry of theirs regarding the bill to permit certain burials of the dead in the lands of the Protestant Episcopal Ca- thedral foundation. The bishop explains that the sole object of the bill is to have the crypts of the future cathedral used for the interment of celebrated persons of the Episcopal Church in the same way that Westminster Abbey is used in Eng- land. “But,” the say bishop, “inasmuch as the cathedral is not yet built and will not, perhaps, be for many we have ask- ed that the privilege might be granted us of having four interments a yi year in the cathedral grounds, subject to the si and other regulations of the hi tment and authorities of the District of Columbia, such bodies to be trans to the crypts of the cathedral when that cathedral is built. The probability fs that there will not be a single interment in the intervening time. “In behalf of the cathedral board of trustees I wis e distinctly that we ourselves wo strongly the use of any part of the cathedral ground: cemetery. We desire to have edy institutions, like the asa ational cathedral school for girls, which has already been erected, in different parts of the cathedral grounds, and, of course, under such circumstance the presence of anything like metery, in the midst of these educational build- ings would defeat the very object we have in view. In writing this, I speak in the name of the cathedral board as well as myself, and I would be very glad if this letter could be put on record for future ref- erence, if possible.” In view of F is tterlee’s communi- cation, Commis Wight has recom- mended to his es that the Com- lgetoniera advise favorable action on the bill. —_—__ In Interest of McAll Association.

The naval inspection “ooa to Washington from Fort Monroe, having completed the two dayg’ trial of the battle ship Kearsarges The board he'd a meeting today to draw 4p {ts formal report on the trial. Admiral Rodgers, the president, says that the test was completely successful. The ship went out from Hampton Roads into a stiff wind and spent two days in such move- ments as would be incident to active serv- ice in the navy. There was no hitch in the performance of any of these. The hull of the ship is strong, the engines afford more than the minimum speed require- ments and the battery functioned without a hitch. It was not within the province of the board to make any tests of the military advantages of the double turret system as exemplified in the Kearsarge. Consequently no effort was made to test the accuracy of the guns or the synchronism of fire—a very essential point if the guns are to be con- centrated upon one point. A great many things remain to be done upon the Kear- sarge before she can be reperted as com- plete, but these jobs can be done without putting the ship out of commission, and should not occupy more than a month’ time. Naval Constructor Woodward, who was in charge of the ship while building, reported that she would not be complete at the date fixed for putting her into com- mission, so that the report of the board on this point bears out his prediction. The Double Turret Syatem. Conceding the excellence of the Kearsarge in speed, structural strength and advanced ideas, there ts still a great division of senti- ment among the naval officers here as to the merits of the double turret system, and the opponents of the idea insist that the tria’s of the guns so far made have not by any means met their objections. The constructors, almost as a unit, are still opposed to the double turrets, and they put forth the claim that all that has been dem- onstrated so far is the integrity of their own work in designing and building a com- plicated double turret strong enough to resist the formidable recoil and blast of four great guns in combination. But as to the military merits of the system, they insist that further triais extending perhaps even to the crucial test of battle will be nec- essary to demonstrate the merits or de- merits of the turrets. One line officer, a member of the inspec- tion board, has ‘adopted. the constructor's objection against the policy of ‘putting all the eggs in one basket” as Is done by con- centrating four guns in practically one tur- ret. has-returned Simultaneous Fire. Another, one of the highest line officers in the navy, has advanced the objection that it is a practically impossible undertaking, even with the aid of electricity, to fire the four guns simultaneously. . This statement is based on the irregularity of fuse action. A lack of syncronism in the discharge of the guns, even if one gun was fired but a fraction of a second before the others, would, according to this critic, throw the remaining three guns out of range, and cause them to completely miss the target. This result would be brought about from the fact that the guns are laid on either side of the turret, and are not on the cen- tral line, so that the discharge of one of them would tend to rotate the turret slight- ly. To meet this objection, the double turret adherents assert that the cecastons would be very rare indeed when the turrets would be subjected to the severe tesp of the com- bined discharge of the four guns, and, as a matter of fact, In actual battle the guns would be discharged separately, loading and firing in order, and thus enabling the tur- ret captain to keep up @ perfect stream of fire from his guns. Meanwhile, as the discussion has enUsted the interest of all the naval men here, it is probable that the department will feel called upon as soon as the ship ts complete and ‘“‘shaken down,” to direct Capt. Folger to make an exhaustive set of experiments with the turrets, with particular reference to ascertaining the accuracy of the fire of the guns, involving the placing of targets at carefully measured ranges, and the firing of the guns with the ship statiunary in smooth water. i o Lecture on Stephen Phillips.

Greely Describes the: Syntem of Communication Extablixhed. General Adolphus W. Greely, chief signal officer of the army, says that the work of establishing a thorough and complete sys- tem of communication in the Island of Luzon by the officers and men of his branch of the service is progressing rapidly. The island fs now overspread with a network of telephone and telegraph lines, extending on the east from Manila northward to Aparri, at the mouth of the Cagayan river, and on the west from Bangul, at the northwest ex- tremity of Luzon, down the coast line and back to Manila. Cables have been laid in the waters of Manila bay from Manila to Cavite, and in Laguna de Bay from Ta- gulg to Binan, and from Taguig to Calamba, to Los Banos, thence to St. Cruz, on the eastern shore of the bay. ‘The condition of affairs as to communi- cation In the Philippines may be imagined if one takes, for instance, the state of New York if deprived of her mail system. As there {is practically no system of mails in the islands it can be readily seen what an enormous amount of communication must be carried on by the telegraph, telephone and cable. General Greely stated that over a million words by these methods are transmitted in the Philippines daily. The demand for 0) erators still greatly exceeds the suppl: and every man in the signal service who shows electrical knowledge to any degree is at once dispatched to Mantla. Thus ex- periments In war balooning, wireless teleg- raphy and other features of the service are for the time being neglected for lack of suitable men to conduct them. The new system of wireless telegraphy is being in- vestigated at Governor's Island, New York, but work in that direction cannot be pro- moted with any rapidity until suitable men are provided. Next summer_a balloon house is to be erected at Fort Myer, Va., and experiments in war ballooning will probably be insti- tuted and progress more rapidly than at preseht. ae —_—____++- + _—_—_ In Adjutant General's Office.
