W'ASHINGTON, Ifurch 16.——Secretar,\=

mirals to examine the officers recently

.Section 1,.37 of the law for the reor-

follows:
“In time of peace no person
promoted from the list of commodore
to the gzade of real admiial on the ac-
tive list until his mental, moral and
professional fitness to peiform all his
duties at sea has been established as
provided in the p1ec: =.di13 section. "

A Sculptor Says It lIs Hard to Find
Models with )ilupled, Ta-

“I find great (lliliculty in getting a
model with good arms," said a well-
icncwn sculptor'reccntly. “It. is aston-
ish-ing how few women, there are with
arms that conform to the standard. A

instance. a, 1 oil. 1'131212d upper arm which

Hair Raises on End.
An eminent medical man, whose
treatises on human hair have attracted

will be no question 1'; " his

of the flying squadron cit“ th: south-
ern coast of C; 7;: an pa it of 1.212 rec—
ords of the navy department 5111?. will
be placed before the board for its Con-
sideration. These papers comprise the
report of Admiral Sampson as com-
mander in chief of thenorth Atlantic
fleet, which includes the telegrams of
Admiral Schley in regard to his retro-
grade movements between Cienfuegos
andMSantiago, the letter of Admiral
Sampson to Secretary Long pronounc-
ing Schley’s conduct “reprehensible,"
the ieport of the board of navigating
efl’i sets of the ships engaged in the ac—
tion with Cerv er‘a’s fleet, \\ hich show s,
by means of a chart, the peculiar out-
ward circle described by the Brooklyn
when she came near to the Spanish ves-
sels; the statement of Schley that Cap-
tain Sigsbee had told him that the
Spanish ships were not in Santiago har-
b‘or and Sigsbee's denial, and the letter
of Secretary Long to the senate tel' ing'
of Schley’ s refusal to obey the ordei to
proceed to Santiago, with accompany—
i'ng documents proving this and other
assertions of the navy department. It
is not probable. that any charge against
Schley will be made to the board, but
it will be necessary for its members to
go more fully into the question of
Schley’s conduct than has heretofore
been done. The board will have author-
ity to summon before it Admiral Schley
and other officers. ,
The law under which the board was
appointed prescribes that its functions
'shall extend to the examination of com-
modores promoted ”in time of peace."
Although the war with Spain has not
been ended officially through the pro-
mulgation of the ratifications of the
peace treaty, Schley’s nomination was
made under the authority of a law pro-
viding for the reorganization of the
navy’s personnel on a. peace footing
and was not due in any way to the war.

To Enforce the Bait Act.
ST. JOHN’S, N. F., March 16.——-The
colonial government is fitting out. the
revenue cruiser Fiona for the annual-
spring campaign against the supply of
bait to French fishermen in Newfound-
land waters. Owing to the vigorous at,-
titude manifested by Mr. Joseph Cham—
berlain, the imperial secretary of state
£01" the colonies. toward French ag-
’ gressions the bait act will be enforced
more stringently than ever, and it is
believed this course will have the effect
of crippling the French fishing industry
on the Grand banks this season.
