Washington, Nov. 20. —-The annual report of the secretary of the navy says: 'i'lit' task which is employing the highest energies of the navy, and re ceiving tlie greatest attention from the heads of bureaus, the command ers hi chief <>f stations, the coinniand ! ing and subordinate officers of squad ! Rons, divisions, and single vessels I everywhere, is the work of training, i To the development of the greatest j efficiency in ail branches of the ser : vice the attention, zeal, and thought ! of those in charge is mainly directed. : This is an era of training. There- I ports of (lie several bureaus are , largely made up of criticisms upon ! and plans for the improvement of i present systems of practice, drill, anil , instructions. | At the close of the last fiscal year | there were under construction for the navy, by contract, the following j vessels: Eight battleships, six. ar i mored cruisers, nine protected eruis- I ers, four monitors, 13 torpedo boat I destroyers, seven torpedo boats, and < seven submarine torpedo boats. The | general progress of work upon these vessels, particularly those or the larger class, lias not been satisfac tory. Ihe battleships were, on the 30th of.l nne. 1902, from 10 to 29 months behind contract time; the ar mored cruisers from four to 13 months; the protected cruisers from six to !s months, while the monitors were from 10 to 19 months in arrears. The most imperative need of the navy to-day is of additional officers. Tt invites the instant attention of congress. The administration of the department is embarrassed almost daily by the lack of officers below command rank. This condition has been approaching for some years. The number of enlisted men in the naval service on .lime 30, 1902, was 21,433, Of these 5,032 were landsmen and apprentices. Many of these came from the middle western states, and at the time of their enlistment were unacquainted with the new life upon which they had entered. Their pro gress has been eminently satisfac tory. All men now enlisted are required to be either citizens or to have de clared their intention to become such. Eighty-nine per cent, -of the enlisted force are now citizens and 70 per | cent, are native born. Ninety-three and three-tenths per cent, of the , landsmen for training and 91 poT j cent, of the apprentices are native j born. During the past year 233 guns, | chiefly of large caliber, have been manufaetured at the naval gun fae j tory, making a total of 1,210 guns j thus far made at that establishment, i No material change iias been made in the method of gun construction, ex cept that the rubes of all guns of and above six inches in call be* are now reinforced to the muzzle. Very great increase in energy has, however, been obtained by increasing the length and weight of guns and by the use of smokeless powder. The manufacture and introduction of smokeless powder has been pro ceeded with as rapidly as practica ble. Itagi lining with the Kenrsarge and Kentucky, all the new ships of the navy and some 30 of the older vessels have been supplied with smokeless powder. No other powder has been bought or manufactured for the navy since IS9S, except for auxiliary purposes. The most Interesting event of the year in connection with projectiles is the development of a new tvpe of shell having the perforating power of an armor-piercing projectile, with a capacity for a large bursting charge, Huaixanirr Tmln Wrtrk'd, India nil |» diM, Nov. •»;».

London, Nov. 29.—Mail advices re ceived here from Constantinople un der date of November 21 say: "In spite of all official denials the Porte is adopting barbarous methods in crushing the.Macedonian peasants. The winter has set in and the danger from revolutionary bands is over, yet the Turkish authorities seem to think the time has come to act. In the face of promises of free pardon to those who returned to their homes. Christian villagers have been shock ingly tortured to make them betray alleged concealed depots of arms, or give information regarding the work i <g of the Macedonian committees. The bastinado has been frequently employed until the victims were crip pled for life, their feet, being beaten to a pulp by Turkish soldiers. Peas ants were also hung by their heels to the ceiling and boiling hot eggs were putin their arm pits. Even priests were not spared, while the troops openly plunder the peasants, who are being driven to despair." A llproclt.v l'rojert. Chicago.

Weather I'omlltloiia Have Stimulated Riihlziomm. New York, Nov. 29.- li. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather conditions have provided the only important developments of the past week in the business world. Excessive rains in some sections, not ably in the southwest, facilitated dis tribution of heavy footwear, over shoes and kindred lines, while season ably low temperature at other points increased the movement of winter wearing apparel. These influences, together with a large Thanksgiving trade iu food products, stimulated re tail dealings very materially. .lobbing and wholesale trade is fully maintained and manufacturing plants have orders far ahead, but In in any cases the coke shortage retards op erations. Railway otnciuls are mak ing every effort to relieve the freight congestion, especially in the vicinity of Pittsburg, but thus far there is little evidence of improvement. Gross earnings are fully maintained for No vember. thus far exceeding last year's by 8,3 per cent., and those of 1900 by lt>.l per cent., while it is anticipated that higher freight rates will offset the advances in wages, sustaining net earnings.

Seranton, Pa., Nov. 27.—Quite in Contrast with tiie happy fuce.s of the independent. operators* committee when it returned from New York Tuesday night, were the counte nances «112 the miners' representatives when they returned yesterday from their disappointing trip to Washing ton. How the latter views the sudden and surprising turn of affairs is well set forth in a statement issued yes terday afternoon by Messrs. barrow and Lloyd, the miners' attorneys, who accompanied Mr. Mitchell to Wash ington. The statement, which is signed by Clarence S. Darrow and Henry 1). Lloyd, is as follows: "The commission adjourned for ten days in pursuance of an arrangement between the parties to give oppor tunity for conciliation on account of a telegram vrhieh we understood wtts written by George P. IJaer in the presence of and with the consent of every railroad concerned and was signed by Wayne MacVeagh. This telegram written after a care ful reading of the tentative agree ment which had been prepared ana written by counsel of both parties and which had been submitted to the commission. At the request of Mr. MacVeagh, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Darrow and Mr. Llovd went to Washington to consult uipon some minor details of the agreement. There was no friction or important disagreement between the parties at the meeting in Washington. Later in the flay am? after the conference in New York With Hie independent operators, Mr. MacVeagh received a telegram call ing off all negotiations and advising that the matter be settled by the commission in a regular hearing. "The man who wrote the telegram to Judge (iray stating that the main features of the contract were accept able, was the same man who signed the telegram to Wayne MacVeagh three or four days later, stating that negotiations must end. "A copv of the tentative agreement in the hands of Hon. Wayne Mac- Veagh, Mr. Willcox, of the Delaware Hudson Co.: Carroll [>. Wright and probably Mr. Baer. "We can see no reason for the ex pression of any opinion, the facts speak for themselves. We have been ready at all times to consult with any one in interest and make any rea sonable adjustment, but we have ao anxiety whatever over the ease or its results and shall be ready for busi ness when the commission meets." While admitting that they did much towards breaking off the negotiations for a settlement out of court, the in dependent operators do not hesitate to say that they were rrot required to advance much argument to bring the coal road presidents to their way of thinking. One of them said: jThe big companies had come to our way of thinking before we met them." President Mitchell.

BIG DEFENSE GUN. It I* 4» Feet I,oii£ and Will Shoot a l*rojoetlle a Distance of'2l Albany, .V. Y.. Nov. 27. —The 10-inch coast defense gun which was manu factured at the Watervteit arsenal, was shipped yesterday on the Merritt Chapman Company's largest barge to the Sandy Hook proving ground and will reach there Friday. The largest crane in the world had to be pressed into service l to load the gun on the barge, on which it is being trans ported down the Hudson river. Under the direction of Col. Farley, commandant at the arsenal, the gun was loaded on a specially construct ed car and slowly moved to the arse nal dock, where by means of a eran« and a mammoth derrick it was swung onto the barge. The following are the dimensions of this great, weapon of coast de fense: Length over all 4ii feet 2.'.) inches; diameter at breech ."> feet, bore Hi inches. Its construction was begun May It,ls I ,is, and finished ■!uno 12, 1902. Some idea of its power can be obtained by the statement that it «ho>ots a projectile weighing 2,370 pounds, a distance of 21 miles. If smokeless powder is used, it will re quire 570 pounds, or about 1,000 pounds of black powder. The crude steel from which the gun was assembled weighed 31W.000 pounds. It has cost in material, labor and machinery, about $150,000. t able Completed. Washington, Nov. 27.
