( Copyright , 1 < M. by Associated Press ) LONDON' , July 22. The ( ictcrmlnatlon of the admiralty to Improve the gunnery of the navy has come none too soon , In the opinion of experts , ami there Is general satisfaction that the authorities Imc de cided to follow the example of the UnltcJ States navy and double the allowance of ammunition for firing practise ; the "nccnt unpleasantness" between the United States and Spain demonstrating the admirable gun nery of the American navy , coupled with official returns Just Issued and showing that the beat British gunners failed to hit the target seventy out of every 100 shots , has awakened the admiralty to the necessity of mending mottcis. In his statement In the House of Com mons yesterday relative to the shipbuilding vote , Right Hon. George J. Ooschcn , iflrst lord of the admiralty , practically corrob orated the recent statement cf nn admiralty ofllclal to the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press "that for Its slzo the American navy Is as line a navy as ever existed and much could bo learned from It , " and that meanwhile he hoped that naval In telligence would bo enhanced. The mobilization of a huge fleet engaged In the maneuvers Is carrying out n plan of the most Interesting features. The plan supposes Great Britain to be at war with a foreign power , and convoys of British merchant ships carrying food and supplies Is crossing the Atlantic from Halifax under a small escort. The enemy sends a fleet to intercept the convoy and Great Britain dis patches a Meet to Intercept that of Its ad versary. The enemy , however , rellos on numerous torpedo boats Issuing from Irish ports for the purpose of harassing the Brit ish , while ho captures the convoy. Great Britain on the other hand relics upon torpedo bnat destroyers to cope wltu the toipedo boats and give free play to the seagoing ships. The real battle Is thus torpedo 'boats ' against torpedo boat destroy ers. The result must be most interesting nnd must largely control the future policy with regard to building of torpedo boat destroyers. ICniKr Yield * tu NiMM'UMUy. What President Kruccr declined to the representatives of the Outlanders and the arguments of the British high commissioner of South Africa , Sir Alfred Mllncr , hu seemed Inclined to yield to the more for cible hints of the war ofllcc , comprised In unobtrusive but various military prepara tions. The sudden change of front by the Volksraad In adopting the seven-year fran chise proposition on last Tuesday Is forcible demonstration of the claim that President Kruger can and does yield when the proper pressure Is applied , but not otherwise. As Mr. Chamberlain said In the course of his speech In Ihc 'House ' of Commons on Thursday regarding the modifications of the franchise law in the Transvaal , the con cessions do not end the difficulties , but merely offer a basis for a pacific settle ment , and former experiences with the Transvaal have taught the government that It Is Iprtivlsaplc Ucqny way to relax pres- SI IH "Eleclrft'TSact Is concluded. The mltltaryk ; prlpar.uioiis ! thcref6ro have been In no way relaxed. The parliamentary select committee on old ago pensions Is laboring earnestly with a view to ( presenting a report before the prorogation of Parliament. It Is understood that committees have arrived at the determination - j termination to recommend a pension of G i shillings weekly to all attaining the ago of ! 65 years who have never received parish relief. The proposal will naturally involve a heavy expense , generally estimated at $10,000,000 yearly , which , It Is proposed , j will 'bo ' divided between the Imperial ex chequer and local sources. ! !

I i In the mile race England enjoyed a mo nopoly from start to finish. The odd event was picked up gloriously by Kocf Harvard , I dcfealing the English crack , Pagct-Tomlln- Bon , In the cleanest hurdling ever seen on the turf. Burke's running again evened results und brought disappointment to the Americans , who had counled on winning with Burke. Burke , however , had been suf fering from a weak stomach for nearly a year and this proved fatal to his success. The Englishmen cxhlblled splendid Judg- men In the quarter-mile , half and three- mlle runs , the string In each race making the racing1 for his comrades lo come through nt the finish. The prlnco of Wales and other members of the royal family left before the last two events wore finished. 51. C X , Jack&on , bursar at HartfoVd college - lego , who had charge of the Oxford-Cam bridge learn , said to the Associated Press conespondent of the contests : "I am really sorry that the Amei leans had to lose , but they did It In a sportsman like manner , which Is highly appreciated by o\cry Englishman -who has opposed them. They have been frank and open with us throughout. " While Mr. Jackson was talking Mr. Wen dell , who had chsrgo of the American team , cnmo up and bhook hands with Mr. Jackson - son and said : "I heartily congratulate you ; wo could not both win , and I am sure to- day'e contest will cement the friendship Tietween the universities and that our ath letes will always be good friends. " It was learned that liurko has been trou bled with his stomach ever elnco the ar rival of the team In England , although Mr. Wendell managed to keep 1t secret and the athletewas'by no means himself today , Ito > alty ( 'niiKriitiilatPM Ko\ . The prince of Wales was especially de lighted with the hurdle races and cent a message of congratulation to Kox , the win ner of the event. Steward II. S. Brooks of Yale , who held the Yale quarter-mile record , bald at the conclusion of the games : "The friends of Yale and Harvard are sat isfied that the team lost the games on their merlin. Of course , Bnrke's failure was the crucial tost. That Is where wo went down. That was duo to causes that could not have been prevented and wo have no explanation or excuse to offer. It was evident when tbo races were half run that Burke was not In form. Wo expected to lose the hurdle and win the half mile , but that shows how dif ficult It is to specify rcHults the day before the races. " Mr. Wendell , the Harvard steward , ald : "No word of explanation or excuse can como from any friend of the American team. Wo were met In the handsomest spirit and lest fairly on our merits cr demerits. Cer tainly no one can say moro of English hos pitality or sportsmanship and no friend of Yale or Harvard has a word of complaint to utter. " Di'lrtllN of ( lie Huff * .

There was tremendous cheering from the Yale nnd Harvard stands when It was announced that Fox had equaled the British amateur record. In the half-mile run Streubcn led for iho first lap , followed by Adams. Graham and Burke In the order mentioned. When this lap had been completed , Graham went tu the front , and , running In splendid stvlr , won by about eight yards , amidst excited cheers from the Englishmen nnd depression nnd sllcncn on the part of the Americans. Streubcn was second nnd Adams third. Burke was last nnd did not finish , being FO hidly used up that ho had to be supported tn the paMllon nnd carried upstairs.

The bill for protecting the rights of writers , composers - posers and nrtlsta was published this week I It was a tentative measure put out for the ! purpose of drawing criticism , which will be j taken Into account when the bllt Is presented ) In the llclehstng. Several points lm\e called I forth strong opposition , such as the derision to punish the publication cf private letters without the authority of writers. The printIng - Ing of unpublished documents Is also men tioned. Many of the newspapers assert that these provisions arc aimed nt the A'oor- wacrts , which has shown surprising ability In the direction of securing documents and letters. Berlin Is In the midst of the vacation sea- eon. Vacations to the mountains and eca continue in unusual proportions , those goIng - | Ing by the night trains finding It almost Im possible to secure sleeping berths. The i week has been unusually hot and humid. I Heavy hall and rain storms have occurred Inarlous pnr.a of the country , inflicting I much damage to the crcps. Many people ha\o been klled by lightning , two Mich canes having occurred In Berlin. j The thunder nt Hanover was the most se vere experienced for thirty years. Many pen- j pie In that province were struck and killed I by lightning. In lllescn-Gcblrge , Silesia , i some deaths from sunstroke were also re- ' ported. One hundred draft dogs In Berlin I were sunstruck during the week nnd brought 1 to the veterinary stations by the police.

The newspapers ha\e all along represented Chambers ns the tcol of 13. B. S. I Ma.xse , the British consul at Apia , and tspo- i clally hostii'o to the Germans In the Island. i His retirement , therefore , had been regarded as necessary to the restoration of normal I conditions. With the retirement of Judge I Chambers , the newspapers say , the olllclals at Apia will have an easier task. I The flae incident at Honolulu on July 4 lias been sensibly Heated by the German press. The swift runfahniout of the of fender Is rerardcd as evidence of the cor rect attitude of the United States toward Germany. There was not a single jarring note In the press In regard to the affair iMost of the papers did not regard the af fair as of enough Importance to notice The Boursen Courier said the incident showed that gocd understanding between German and American olllclals in the Pa cific had made Immense progress. The local Anreiger said the Americans did their dutj unhesitatingly. The Philippine campaign has been al luded to frequently this week. The Krouro Zcttung says the Americans arc making no progress In spite of exertion. The Tnge- blatt says the campaign looks for the pres ent like a farce , because the Americans have not sufficient troops In the Philippines to undertake any serious operations. The Boursen Courier , referring to ei- forts made in Washington to raise new troops , says : "The United States Is ap parently developing Into a military state , after the example of European countries.

Newspapers hero print a letter from a German at Manila giving the following ac count of things there : American officials heM brilliant recep tions in private houses and at the Casino nt Marnte to which they Invite prominent FIII- plnos. The last week In June there was n great festival at which 600 were present and which ended with a ball nnd firework' ! . Four-fifths of the guests were Filipinos. All the women were Invited to appear In pictur esque native costumes , but while the Amer ican civil officials are leading the Filipinos into fraternizing- two armies are con stantly fighting. Everywhere the Flllplnns have strong corps pushed forward close on the American line nnd wherever a patror leaves the main body it finds Itself In the presence of the enemy and threatened with being surrounded. The Americans take re venge by having ships fire upon Filipinos wherever a few show themselves In order to bathe. How helpless arc the Americans outside of Manila Is shown by the capture of two offi cials of the hospital ship Roller. This vessel took n short sail under the protection of Hie cannon war ships off Paranaquo and was suddenly surrounded by natlvo boats nrd the officers captured. The Monadnock got np steam rapidly , but although It opened lire nnd raked thP shore and forest the rescue of the Relief's officers was not accomplished. The Filipinos led the prisoners quietly away. When marines landed they were ro- colved BO warmly that they were forced to return hastily to the ship , Gel many has been excluding cattle BO rig idly that the difference In price has become so lucrative as to furnish good business for smugglers. The authorities recently cap tured eight cows at Nordhorn which bad been smuggled ftom Holland. The business Is carried on by organized bands and still continues , although a double force of cus toms guards has been employed. GOSSIP OF LONDON SOCIETY nnil Tolletn of Mr * .
