and aa these show a great Increase as
compared with the current fiscal year,
thereby promising to cause much debate
in congress at the approaching session; the
president and ' the secretary of the navy
ara glvUiK their most enrneot attention to
them. The aecretary advanced a proposi
tion to Increase by $&.ort,a the standing
.apportionment for. the enlinted men In the
' navy. According -to his estimate, this ln
oraasa would admit of the. recruitment of
about 1,000 blue Jackets In addition to the
' present force. The proposition was re
ceived with favor and will.be included in
the estimates to he' submitted t congress.
Width of Canal Locks.
Another matter, not entirely naval In
character, but dwim d of Import by Secre
tary Metcalf, becuuso of its influence upon
tha charactet of naval vessels to be con
structed in the future, was the recom

sion brought, to Washington a few daya
ago by Civil Engineer Rosses u, looking
to the widening of the locks of the I'anama
canal, and this subject was dlHcutscd at
some length. Some naval officers whose
views were reflected by Secretary Metcalf
held that a width of 100 feet in the locks
would be quite sufficient to meet all naval
needs within the next halt century, but It
appears that another element believes that
the locks would prove too narrow in the
course of ten years. The president decided
to await' a detailed report from the cannl
commission upon this Important subject
and so the subject was laid aside for the
present.
More Battleships Reeded.
Secretary Metcalf also has before him tha
report of tha naval general board, headed
by Admiral Dewey, upon the new construc
tion required to meet the plana of tha
board and these were touched upon. Inci
dent to the construction of the width of
locks. Not only the naval general board,
but the naval "board on construction,
headed by Admiral Converse, the chief
naval constructor, and the secretary of the
navy himself must express their views in
formal reports upon this matter of new
construction before the president will have
In hand all of the material upon which to
base his own recommendations to congress.
It Is pointed out that by reason of the fact
that he last year expressed the opinion
that one new ship woulAbe all that should
necessarily be authorized by this congress,
the president has somewhat embarrassed
himself, but as several of the battleships
which were last year supposed to be per
fectly serviceable have since rather un
expectedly been shown to be of obsoleta
type. It Is not apprehended that the presi
dent will have any difficulty in explaining
to the congress the necessity for amending
the original estimate, for it la now quite
certain that no less than two and probably
three battleships of the first order will be
recommended In the estimates.
Tha report of the board of Inquiry In the
case of the grounding of the battleship
Kentucky on Imbert'a Point. Hampton
Hoads, was received at the Navy depart
ment today. Jt fully exonerates from
blame Captain Barry, the commander. It
is shown that the accident was due to the
crowded condition of the roadstead.

In appreciation of her past efficient serv
ice, and as a compensation .for the In
creased amount of work attendant upon
her position, the board voluntarily In
creased the salary of the librarian, Miss
Edith Toblt, from $13 to 160 per month,
the increase to take effect November 1.
Owins to the Increased amount of work
asked of the librarian's staff of assistants
since the old scale of salaries went Into

bodying an Increase of salaries, which scale
will be presented at the next meeting.

HIGHER. EDUCATION TOO HIGH
President of Cornell University 8as
Tuition Feea Should Be
Reduced.
ITHICA. N. T., Oct. 28.-Presldent Jacob
Oould 8churman has prepared for the an
nual fall meeting of the Cornell university
board of trustees which meets Saturday,
October 26, what he himself terms a radi
cal report.
He recommends that the time necessary
to obtain a professional degree at Cornell
be extended from four to five .years. Trie
first year he would devote to purely human
istic studies, such as history, language, lit-'
eratura, economics and politics; the sec
ond to the pure solences and the general
scientific field. This would constitute the
first division. The second division of three
years would ba devoted to purely technical
training aa It Is now. He states It Is his
jellef that a required five years would In
duce most students to take six years In
order to obtain both an arts and a profes
sional degree.
In hla plea for reduced tuition, President
Schurman remarks: - .
"It the republlo Is to remain a democ
racy there must be an educational, ladder
extending from the gutter to commence
ment stage, which may be ascended by the
talented, studious and diligent children of
tha poor aa well aa by those of the well
to do and rich. Every advance In tha fees
charged for tuition and other purposes In
colleges and universities tends to exclude
a certain portion of our population from
the benefits of higher education. These
fees might be raised to auch a figure that
liberal culture and ' professional r training
should become the ' monopoly of that mi-
