"It is our general understanding," said Secretary Wilson of the labor department as he left tho committee, "that no Increase in salaries are to be asked for in any branch of the government service under present conditions." The legislative bill will be ready to go into tho house from tho committee as soon as congress meets. The 1 >is trict of Columbia bill, which has al? ready been framed, will llrst be pre? sented.

All battleships except the two latest dreadnoughts, armored crui.se rs of the Tennessee c lass, scout cruisers and the older destroyers, the admital says, are equipped with short range torpedoes Which may be con? sidered obsolete for the battle licet. Since the battleship Nevada and Oklahoma were designed, however, till the new vessels have been pro? vided with the modem torpedo and as rapid y as possible the equipment ol" older ships is being changed. Admiral Straus thinks Improvement in the efficiency of officers and men who handle this branch of the navy's work has not even keep pace with the slow development of material.

"The bureau," he says, "is more than ever inclined to the t pinion that the best projectiles are cf the armor-piercing type, carry? ing Sufficient explosive to detonate and fragment the projectile after having passed through armor; and it Is thought that the penetrative power of projectiles has been sufficient to in? sure a Satisfactory percentage of I success."
