One of the leading experts on naval matters, in discussing this matter, had "The board of naval officers appointed some time ago to determine what disposition should be made of certain types of ships in the navy will make its report to Secretary Bonaparte before he completes his annual report to Congress.

It is believed better care would be taken of the Bancroft should it be transferred to the revenue cutter service, which is under direct supervision of Assistant Secretary Taylor of the Treasury. The officers of this service are fully capable of keeping the Bancroft in good condition, so that in case the Nevy Department should call for the return of the vessel at some future day it would find there would be no unnecessary delay in recommissionlng it for 9 Bedroom Siits Now $19 58- Regularly $29.00.

Should the vessel be transferred to any of the state militia organizations it would be under the charge of shlpkeepers who would take as good care of it as their knowledge of the care required for naval vessels extends, which in some instances appears to be very limited." This view, which is destined to receive high consideration in departmental circles in Washington, agitated Brooklyn tars, and one of their highest officers complained about it to an Eagle reporter. "The idea is preposterous," be said, "that the state would not give the Bancroft the care it Is the Aileen, which the Naval Militia has used some time, not able to go into naval service at once?

Every year the Ailceu is overhauled at the expense of the state. Moreover, the Aileen is a better boat to-day than when it "was taken over from the Federal Government.

Improvements have been put on it which have added materially to its eiDciency. The idea that the great State of New York could not guarantee the United States Navy against damage to a small boat like the Bancroft is ridiculous, ami those who are putting forward that opinion as a reason for keeping the boat from state uses will find that their efforts will prove a boomerang, li the state could not furnish the guarantee, think the battalion would be willing and fcble to go down into its pocket and put up a guarantee; but, of course, that would not fee necessary." Representative Wachter of Maryland is after the Bancroft, in the interests of the Naval Militiamen of that state, and as he is Irom Secretary Bonaparte's own state, his application may receive considerable attention. The Naval Mtlitia of that state is said to rank high at the Navy Department, and this news throws a cloud upon the hopes of the Brooklyn battalion, but that organization is a fighter in such matters. Most of the pressure of the Brooklyn men so far has been ut on Assistant Secretary Darling, but as has gone unexpectedly with the board of consulting engineers to Panama, it is. likely Secretary Bonaparte himself will dispose of the Bancroft, although there is a chance of the decision going over until Mr.

Darling's return. Inspectors of Small Arms Practice. The fact that the army is moving to have inspectors of email arms practice is not an evidence that the guard has more advanced ideas than the regulars, but simply that Congress has been parsimonious. One of the best informed officers of the Second Brigade defended the regulars yesterday in this fashion: "Prior to the war with battalion staff officers were detailed lieutenants from the companies to the detriment of these, as it left them short of officers. The reason for this lay in the parsimony of Congress, which would not provide for the requisite officers, as a permanency.

After the war, new. legislation changed this and provided extra lieutenants for battalion adjutants and quartermasters. The National Guard has had all of these, as it is tasy to get officers in tho state service, there being no question of economy involved, and thus has had inspectors of Bmall arms practice for many years, an office unknown to the army, even by detail, each captain being presumed to look after instruction in rifle practice, as part of the instruction of his men. The array would doubtless benefit by extra officers for detail for Inspectors of small arms practice." Good-by to Colonel Brlfcton.

It makes all the difference in the world. correspondents were sending a lot of matter, and, course, the Japanese messnges had to be translated In a way before they could be sent. The Morso code can't cope with the 67,000 Ideographs that the Jap language Is made up of, so the Jap correspondents used to write tho messages phonetically in English characters and send their messages In that way. They were read off and transferred to Japanese type In Tokio.

No word was ever longix or shorter than fifteen letters, and I he cable company had to take It that way and stand for it. "The elilof operator used to kick and complain occasionally, but he could not go back of the explanation that each of the fifteen letter groups was a Japanese word Hielled phonetically.

Hut he swore Japanese was tho most quecrly regular language he ever saw. Of course, the cable bills were pretty high at that. "Hut tho cable company probably mndo leps out of the Japanese than they did nut any of tho other correspondents. Tho Russian alphabet Is made up of non-English letters, but It can be sent In Mor.ie, and there are some operators who could do It, though the mont of the HiiHSlan inesssgoa were written either in Kronen or English." "It is a wonder to me," said a slate department rlrk, who was listening to the story, "that tho Japs did not use their code book. At hast there Is one In China, and I suppose thr ro Is ono In Japan.

You know the Chinese rharacters cannot be nihlid any more than ran the Japanese, hut they pet over that difficulty by having In evory Chinese telegraph office a simple rode, In the message Is written with numerals. Each page of the code book is divided Into fifty-eight squares, numbered In so-qurnee. and In each square Is a Chinese word, tho commoner words coming among the lower numbers. When the tel.

Drill Season Not Eegun. The headquarters night for the beginning of the drill season of the Second Battalion of the Naval Militia was postponed irura last week. Commander Robert P. Korshew r.ot decided when tho active drills nf the season shall begin, as the new drill regular tions have only Just been Issued to the stntc's sailors, and there must be considerable Instruction of thp officers, ommissioned nnd non-commissioned, befuro the men are drilled.

New Armories Demanded. The fact that the Twenty-second Regiment of Engineers in has made application for a now armory calls attention to the numerous quarters which aro under construction for the National Guard. There urc the armories of the Seveiit y-flrst and Sixty-ninth Regiments and Squadron which are liearlng completion, while a Inrgo addition Is to he built to tho Thirteenth Regiment's armory and a site has been selected for tho armory of the Second Battery In the Bronx. Squadron A is also cUiucrtng for a new homo and the Eighth Regiment, now at Park avenue and Ninety-fourth Blreet, Manhattan, wnnts to get a bulldlug north of tho Harlem River. Altogether It is not plain that all those aro required.

While It is 'true that the Regiment site could bo sold by the city at a great advance over tho original price and the present building is not what It ought to be In every respect, still it chii hardly be said that tho Twenty-second's progress and Its present condition Justify a large expenditure for a new home. It has ono feature that other New York armories hnvo not had, that is, its eompai.y rooms on the same Moor tho drill hall. In this respect tho armory Is in advanco of the others, so It Is not reasonable to call it out of date.
