Janes, the all-around . naval eritic in England, made some remarks that rather staggered his hearers and were not kindly received. Mr. Janes only re- | the league in order, as} | best | he explained, to express his views on what he considered its faults. He thought the Navy League had too much Nelson, and related a conversation he had overheard aboard ship between two bluejackets, one of them saying: | “What is this: ‘England expects that man this day will do his) ‘That is what Nelson said.” Oh, blow Nelson!"” retorted the other sailor. “We live to-day, not yesterday. There were cries of “No, no!” when this heresy was uttered, and although Janes explained and reiterated that he did not intend to belittle Nelson and his | deeds, but meant that the ke,\‘notui should be, “Down with vesterday, up | wifh to-day and to-morrow,” the members as a whole failed to grasp his | meaning and his speech was not entire- Iy concluded. Orders were. issued by the Admiralty November 14 for the construction of three battle-ships of the King Edward VII type. One, named Hibernia, is to be built at Devonport, where a new ship } has just been completed at a cost of $750,000. The Africa, allotted to Ports- mouth, cannot be started until the bat- tle-ship New Zealand is launched next | month, and the Britannia is to be built | | | | SPECIAL.

The new ships are’ of 16,350 tons, 18,000 horsepower and eighteen knots speed, carrying<batte- ries of four 12-inch, four 9.2-inch, ten 6-inch and twenty-two smaller guns, and the cost of each ship ready: for.sea is about § 0,000. Commandants in British docfyards, or, as they are designated, admiral su- | perintendents, are,allowed greater dis- cretion and responsibility than similar officials in the United States navy yards. There is a rule in British dock- yards which lays down that the annual wages shall be apportioned into fifty- two equal parts and expended exactly each week, whether the yard has much or little work to do, and this rule, of course, militates SBeriously | against the efficiency and output of the vard. Admiral Henderson of the Dev< onport dockyard, is evidently a thor- ough business man and a wide-awake administrator, for he has discarded this absurd rule and spends the money with due regard to the exigencies of the service, which lately enabled him to prepare for sea six battle-ships and cruisers in six weeks, well within the specified imit of time and cost. The proper distribution of expenditure of a lump sum over a period of fifty-two weeks involves some labor and requires good judgment on the part of the of- ficial in charge, while an evenly dis- tributed outlay for each week reduces the superintendent’s responsibility ma- terially. The destroyer Shark has again met with a serious accident. She was one of the vessels to meet the King and Queen of Italy on their recent visit to England, and while maneuvering in the Channel a burst of steam was ob- served to come from one of her fun- nels. No particular notice was paid to this at the time, but when the de- | stroyer was examined in Stokes Bay at night it was found that the *face of one of the high pressure cylinders had cracked completely across. There had been a marvelous escape from a disas- trous explosion, for had the cylinder | not held together it is probable that all in thé engine room would have been The vessel was at once taken to a dockyard to undergo repairs that will require a month's time. SERVICE FOR CHAPLAINS. The admiralty announces that a sys- tem of short service for chaplains is to be adopted in the navy. Undér this scheme a chaplain will be able to re- tire from the service after completing six, eight, ten, twelve or sixteen years, receiving a gratuity of from $2600 to $8000, aceording to his length of serv- ice. This regulation applies to chap- lains now in the navy. Hitherto. the retired pay ranged from $1640 to $2460, according to length'of service of four to over eleven years, but under the new | scheme the lump sum in gratuity. set- tles for one and all’ the claims of- the chaplains on the Government. Lieutenant J. 8. S. Penrose, attached to the cruiser Spartan, has been court- martialed for drunkenness while on duty .and sentenced to six months’ loss of seniority, severe reprimand and dis- missal from his ship. 'When placed un- der arrest he jumped overboard -and narrowly escaped drowning. = His ex- cuse before the court was that he had been to a dentist’s and that the pain, anesthetic and a small quantity of whisky was respdnsible for his condi- tion. One hundred and three seamen have been recruited at Halifax for<the Brit- ish Naval Reserve. The men are en- gaged at the fishery during'the sum- mer and have signed for service in'the navy for a period of six months at full pay. -They will return to their. houses. next spring to attend to their own work, drawing reduced pay and retain-' ing their membership in the Naval Re- serve. The new recruits while they. have not the smart appearance of the trained men of the navy, are hardy seamen and good material. The new-' comers are placed on board the cruis: ers Charybdis and Ariadne, attachea to the North Atlantic squadron. A serious accident was narrowly averted in the French nayy recently. The armored cruiser Kleber while on her steam trial off Cherbourg was at- tacked by -the submarine boat Al- gerine. ‘The cruiser put on a spurt after the submarine, which did not sink quickly enough, and was struck by the propellers of the Kleber. Algerine, however, came to the sur- face uninjured, except'the railing on deck, which had been carried a: while the cruiser’s propeller had become twisted and the ship had to be docked for repairs. The fact that the shaft could get twisted or | get out of line by coming in'contact The | with such a trivial obstruction as the handrail of the submarine boat is somewhat difficult to believe, and | other more . reasonable explanations | may be expected in the official report. | But the submarine apd its gallant | crew had evidently a narrow escape. | SHIPS WITHOUT TORPEDOES. | In the designs made in 1899-1900 | of six battle-ships and six armored | cruisers provision was made for two | submerged torpedo-tubes and their, reguisite complement and outfit for | each ship, but when Chief Construetor | Hichborn was retired in 1901, having | rveached the age limit, his successor | caused the torpedo arrangement to be | eliminated. As a consequence these | twelve ships and four battle-ships and armored cruisers subsequently de- | signed are without torpedoes and | must depend solely upon their guns| for attack and defense. There is not an armored ship nor protected cruiser | in any other navy that has not from | six to two torpedo-tubes, and while | expert opinion may differ as to the ad- | visability of above-water tubes there can be no guestion about the import- ance of submerged tubes. It appears, | however, that the Board of Construc- | tion quite recently realized the notable | deficiency in our ships and in the de- | sign of the two 13,000-ton battle-ships | two submerged torpedo-tubes are pro- vided for, and it is further contem- plated to again introduce them in the sixteen ships now under construction. In- this« interval, - from - the time the contracts were let up to the present time, new plans have been made as a result of the removal of the torpedo- tubes. and these, together with such | work as the contractor may have per- | formed, will again have to be changed, | involving great cost, loss of time and confusion. It is such indefinite ac-| tion on the part of the Navy Depart- ment that causes much of the delay in | the completion of ships for which the contractor is unjustly charged. The Naval Board on the boilers of | the Maine expresses the opinion that | the Niclausse boilers are fully equal to the work they are designed to do, and see no reason why they should not | continue to do this wark, provided | they are given the care necessary for the efficiency of any water-tube boiler. | This and o®er boilers of the water- | tube type, the board concludes, calls | for.more brain work, and at the same | time less physical effort, on the part of the firemen. — e { The great pagoda, “Shwe Dagon.” in Rangoon, Burma, has been recently re. gilded with h gold plates at a cost of more than 000. | ADVERTISEMENTS.

Chairman Johnson Says Mat- ter Ha3s Gone Beyond Arbitration. SRS T The various eating-houses through- out the city that belong to the ReS- taurant-Keepers' Association did not close last night, as it was ex-; pected they would, but when the hun- | gry man tries to secure his breakfast in one of them this morning, he will! be forced to turn away without appeas- | ing his appetite or else beg a “hand- out” from some kind huusewife, for the[ association decided yesterday after- noon that they would not open their | dining-rooms this morning. 1 Just how many ol the eating-houses | it can| safely be said that more than 100, and | possibly twice that number, will obey | the order of the assoclaticn. When | the restaurants do open up they Will| do _so as “open houses,” or in other words they will employ union or non-| union help, as they see fit. The restaurant men held a > secret session yesterday afternoon, which| lasted for two hours, and wher it came | to an end Chairman Johnson said the | members had agreed not to open this| morning. This will include the large French restaurants, as they all belong | to the association, with the exception of three, and the proprietors of these | places have agreed to take the same| stand as the association. FIGHT TO A FINISH. cooks and waiters were all re- regarding the approaching | strike. At the headquarters of each union silence prevailed, and the hee\dsi of the two unions stated that they | would simply wait till some time in| the near future before doing anything | to adjust the difficulty. Chairman Johnson of the Restaurant- | keepers’ Association said last night that the restaurant men intended to fight| the union to a finish now that the| agreement was broken. “They have| broken faith,” said Johnson, “‘and they} will have to stand the corsequences. | ‘We have done all in our power to se[-i tle the difficulty, but without result, so} the matter will have to take course. | “I do not know whan we will open up | for business again, but we will prob- | ably decide that at a meeting which will be held this afternoon. I tried to| communicate with ~Mayor Schmitz | when the trouble first arose last Fri- | day, but was not successful. ' MAYOR IS HELPLESS. “He rang me up on Saturday and | asked me about the situation and I told him how matters stood. I also| added that it was too late then to do| anything in the matter, as the agree-| ment had been broken when the crew of | an Eddy-street restaurant had been | called out. He was to act as the ar-| batrator, but he can do nothing now, | and the battle will have to be fought| out bétween the cooks and waiters and the association.” Many of the small restaurants| will not close. The proprietors of the | varjous Italian restaurants in the downtown districts all attended the meeting and, while they are rnot mem- | bers of the assoclation, still they all| The ticent 1t is hard to say just how many re: taurants will close their doors, as not! { one-half of the owners beiong to the| association. Nevertheless, their sym- | pathies are with the association, and in | all probability many of them will not | | open for business this morning. { —_——————— | Danger From Christmas Displays and | Decorations. i San Francisco, December 2, 1003.
