SWEEPING REFORMS MADE IN THE BRITISH NAVY.

Name of Home Fleet Changed to Channel Fleet and Made England's Principal Marine Protection—Channel

Fleet to Become Atlantic Fleet.

SECRET MANŒUVRES WILL TEST NAVY'S EFFICIENCY.

LONDON, Sunday.—Lord Selborne, First (Lord of the Admiralty, yesterday issued as a Parliamentary white paper .a memo­randum on the distribution and mobiliza­tion of the British navy, which is de­clared to bo the most important document that has come from the Admiralty in •many years past.

Although this memorandum is signed by Lord Selborne it is taken to be due to the initiative of Admiral Sir John Fisher. All the London papers devote a large amount of Sipaco to the document, which eots out .as follows the principal changes to 'be made in the distribution of tne 'navy :—

"The present Homo fleet will change/its 'name and henceforth be called the Chan­nel fleet. It will have its headquarters at homo and will consist of twelve battle­ships and a sufficient number of atten­dant cruisers. it will be commanded: by a flag officer of the rank of admirai, or if he has not yet arrived at that substan­tive rank, of the acting rank of ad­miral. The second in command will be <a vice-admiral, the third a rear-admiral.

"The present Channel fleet will be re­named the Atlantic fleet and be perma­nently based on Gibraltar. It will con­sist of eight battleships and a sufficient number of attendant cruisers. The flag-officer in command will henceforward be styled Commander-in-Chief of the Atlan­tic fleet,, and will be a vice-admiral or hold the acting rank of vice-admiral. The second in command will be a rear-admi­ral.

"Affiliated to the Channel and Atlantio fleets will be cruiser squadrons, each un­der the command of a rear-admiral, and consisting of six armored cruisers. The first cruiser squadron will be affiliated to the Channel fleet and the second cruiser squadron to the Atlantic fleet. These cruiser squadrons will, however, be de­tachable from the fleets to which they are affiliated either for special cruiser exercises or for special cruises.

Squadron Abolished. "Under this arrangement, the present

separate South Atlantic squadron will no longer be required and will disappear.

"The Mediterranean fleet will consist of eight battleships with a sufficient allow­ance of cruisers. It will, of course, re­main based on Malta, and the comman­der-in-chief will be of the rank of admiral or hold the acting rank of admiral. The second in command will be a vice-admiral.

"The large cruisers attached to the Me­diterranean station will be known as the third cruiser squadron. They will be com­manded by a rear-admiral, and be occa­sionally detached for the same special rea­sons as in the case of the other squadrons.

"All the repairs of the Channel fleet will he done in the home dockyards, those of the Atlantic fleet at the Gibraltar dock­yard, and those of the Mediterranean fleet at the Malta dockyard.

"The aim of the Board will be to ensure that in the case of the Channel fleet neve1' more than two battleships, and of the At­lantic and Mediterranean fleets never more than one shall be in dockyard hands at the same time.

'•'The Atlantic fleet will be put under the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean fleet twice a year, and under the commander-in-chief of the Chan­nel fleet once a year for combined exer­cises."

This, it will be at once apparent, con­stitutes a sweeping reform. The reasons for such reform are given as follows : —

"A new and definite stage lias been reached in that evolution of tile modern steam navy, which has been going on for the last thirty years, and that stage is marked not onlv by changes in the maté­riel of the British navy itseïî, but also by changes in the strategical position all over the world, arising out of the development of foreign navies.

"In the Western Hemisphere the United States is forming a navy, the power and size of which will be limited only by the amount of money which the American ipeoplo choose to spend on it. In the Western Hemisphere the smaller but modern navy of Japan has been put to the test of war and has not been found wanting.

Russian Navy. "The Russian navy has been greatly

increased, and with the exception of the (fleet in the Black Sea, lias been wholly transferred or is in course of being trans-terred from the Baltic to the Pacific.

"The navies of Italy and Austria-Hun­gary maintain their position in the Medi­terranean, but they have not been the feubject of such increased expenditure as 'those of other Powers.

"The French navy stands, as always, in the forefront. The now German navy •has come into existence. It is a navy of (the most efficient- type, and is so fortu-liately circumstanced tliat it is able to concentrate almost the whole of its fleet at its home ports.

"In the British navy all the older battleships have been replaced by modern ones, so that it may now be said that all the battle fleets in commission are composed of modern battleships. This fact in itself marks a distinct stage in the evolution of the material of the navy, but still more significant and far-reaching in its consequences is the fact that this country is now rapidly becoming pos­sessed of a number of modern armored cruisers.

"When the Devonshire class is com­pleted, during the course of next year, there will be in commission or in reserve four Drakes, six Cressys, ten Monmouths and six Devonshires, or in all twenty-six armored cruisers.

"These are not all perfect ships and many subsequent improvements can be made in the types represented, but they are nevertheless a great advance on any­thing which has preceded them, and bring in their wake a revolution in res­pect of the composition of our cruiser sq uadrons."

Various changes are introduced as to the training officers, and it is provided that the present frequent ijioving of officers and men from ships in commis­sion shall cease, men remaining with then-vessels for the full period of their com­mission. The new schemes are to be tested very quickly.

The following arrrangements have been made : "The manœuvres, both in 1905 and

1906, will be directed to the testing of tliis scheme of reorganization ;

"In 1905 movements of the fleet in com­mission and of a few mobilized ships will take place all over the world in view of hypothetical strained relations with an imaginary Power ;

"In 1906 the supposition will be that war has actually .broken out some weeks after a period of strained relations, and reserve squadrons at the home ports will bj actually mobilized and proceed under their respective rear-admirals to rein­force the fleets tq which they have been previously affiliated ;

"The hostile fleets will be represented next year by various big cruisers (as a skeleton enemy) which will start on un­known dates from unknown places to represent the movements of the ima­ginary Power ;

"The commanders-in-chief and other flag officers all over the world will have to act throughout on their own initia­tive ; they will be responsible for keeping in continuous touch with the enemy, and for continuous mutual co-operation they will concert together beforehand their plans for mutual support, and the port admirals and othej- stationary officers must instantly comply with the requests of admirals at sea; in no case will refer­ences to the Admiralty be permitted."

Obsolete vessels are to be withdrawn or, as Lord Selborne puts it: "The Board of Admiralty hopes to withdraw, a,s far as possible, from peace commission those vessels which, however useful in peace, would in war be found to bo inferior in fighting efficiency or even a source of weakness and anxiety to the Admiral."

Extra European Groups. While there will be a reorganization of

the fleet reserve in the sense that the fighting ships will be organized quite separately from obsolete or non-fighting ships, another important change is that the cruisers working in extra-European waters will be divided into three groups. The eastern group will comprise cruisers of the China, Australia and East Indies stations. The responsibility will rest on the commander-in-chief of the China sta­tion for the strategical distribution of those cruisers in time of war, so that they may at the earliest possible moment deal with all the ships of the enemy to be found in those waters.

The Cape of Good Hope squadron will be the connecting link between either the Eastern group and t'lie Mediterranean cruisers, or the Eastern group and the Western group. The Western group of cruisers will consist of cruisers under the command of the commander-in-chief of the North American and West Indian sta­tion, and the mobilized cruisers with which he will be reinforced in time of war.

At present the cruisers under the com­mand of the commander-in-chief of the North American and West Indian station consist of his flagship, a first-class protect­ed cruiser and certain second and third class cruisers.

The Board has decided to withdraw from the station the less effective of those ships and to add to it the ships of the new Particular Service squadron which they have decided to constitute, and of which the commander-in-chief of this station will to given the command.

In conclusion Lord Selborne says : "In the reorganization, a sketch of which I have given above, the Board has had but one object in view, and that is that on a declaration of war the fighting efficiency fcf the fleet shall be complete and instan­taneous.

•'That the scheme will greatly increase the fighting efficiency of the fleet there 'can, I think, be no doubt. It will also, I am, happy to say, result in a very consi­derable economy on the navy estimates."

London Press Approves Reforms. [BY TH.E HERALD'S SPECIAL WIRE ]

LONDON, Monday. — Discussing the changes in the organization and distribu­tion of the British navy, as announced in the White Paper issued from the Ad­miralty, the "Daily Telegraph" says :—

"War efficiency and economy are the dominant notes of the memorandum. Lord Selborne has shown the highest qualities of statesmanship since ho became First Lord. He proved his courage and wis­dom in selecting Admiral Sir J ohn Fisher as First Sea Lord, because this officer is a zealous reformer, and all reforms are disturbing.

"The new scheme, which will at oncc double the fighting efficiency of the navy, is the conception of this consummate strategist. It is no hasty panacea, but the result of years of study."

The "Daily News" says that the most important change "is the large reduction in the number of second-rate vessels in the fighting line, but we wait to see Sir John Fisher carry out his naval policy to the full. Instead of finding ourselves with a worse navy, we believe we shall end with a surer fighting force in better training for war and none the worse he-cause it is relieved of those lame seadogs whose up-keep lias been both so expen­sive and so useless."

The -'Daily Mail'' .says: "What is im­portant is that our fleets arc to beMiosted in their war positions during the time of peace, that steps are to be taken to raise the rapidity of our mobilization to the German standard, and that a businesslike programme of manoeuvres to test the new organization is to be carried out in the next two years."

The "Daily Express" says that it is "the most far-reaching reform which has taken place since Trafalgar. It girdles the world with British squadrons, and renders the Empire instantlv ready for war under any contingency. The old nomenclature, which kept alive traditions created when the, Empire was in the making, disappears, and in its place are titles which recognize only the strategic importance of the high seas which are to be patrolled by the different fleets.

"Lord Selborne and the Board of Ad­miralty are deserving of the highest praise for the scheme. ~ Efficiency marks every detail : it is most thorough in all respects. Probably the country now enjoys the strongest Admiralty Board in the whole history of the British navy.

"The recent addition of Sir John Fisher, with his brilliant ideas and thorough grasp of naval needs, gave to it that actuality of experience in which it was weak be­fore."

FEAR OF RIOTS II ST. PETERSBURG

Head of Police, Through News­papers, Warns Public that Dis­

turbances Are Probable.

STUDENTS IN DEMONSTRATION.

Formerly Bellicose Youths Now Protest Against War and Some Broken

Heads Result.

[SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.1 (Copyright in the United States and Great Britain.)

ST. PETERSBURG, Sunday.—Every news­paper this morning contained a large ad­vertisement signed by the bead of the police warning the people that disturb­ances are likely and that it is best to keep off the streets.

This afternoon there was an anti-war demonstration by the students, the same ones who bellowed so loudly for war ten months ago.

This demonstration resulted in a cer­tain number of broken heads and many arrests, but the matter was not serious.

RUSH FOB CONCERT TICKETS.

Seats Quickly Bought by Those Wish­ing to Hear Mme. Patti.

ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday. — No sooner were the doors opened of the shop where the Patti concert tickets were to be sold than every ticket was bought. The concert takes place on the 14th of the present month, in the Gram1

Hall of the Nobility and under the pat­ronage of the Grand Duchess Marie Pav-lcvna. As already told in the HERALD, it is in aid of the sick and wounded soldiers.

The Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna has recently visited the workshop of the high priest Vinogradoff. Since the opening of that excellent institution no fewer than 3,000 complete suits, for the use of the soldiers at the front, have been turned out. A large quantity of much needed underclothes has also been produced. A number of humble workwomen give their time for a certain number of hours dur­ing three days in each week. The omni­buses of the Belgian society bring all materials and carry away the finished clothes. The famous house of Singer, which has just opened one of the finest buildings in St. Petersburg, on the Nevski, has given thirty sewing machines, which much facilitates the work.

Honoring General Stoessel. ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday.—The

Marshal of the Nobility at Tsarskoe-Selo has asked authorization to open a na­tional subscription for the purchase of a house at Tsarskoe-Selo, to be presented to General Stoessel, in the street in that town name:! after him.

NOBEL PRIZES AWARDED.

M. Mistral, the Provençal Poet, Shares Prize for Literature with Don Jose

Echegaray.

COPENHAGEN, Saturday. — The Nobel Peace Prize was to-day awarded to the Institute of International Law.

The Nobel prize for Physics has been awarded to Lord Rayleigh, Professor of Natural Philosophy at the Royal Insti­tute. The Chemistry prize is conferred upon Sir William Ramsay, Professor of Chemistry at University College. M. Pav-lolf, Professor at the Military Academy of Medicine at St. Petersburg, receives the prize for Physiology and Medicine.

The Literature prize is divided between M. Mistral, the Provençal poet, and Don Jose Echegai-ay, the Spanish dramatist.— Reuter.

M. SYVETON'S BLOOD ANALYZED.

According to the "Temps," M. Ogier, of the Toxicological Laboratory, proceed­ed on Saturday with the spectrum ana­lysis of fifty cubic centimètres of blood taken from the body of the late M. Syve-ton during the autopsy. The presence of carbonic oxide was revealed! by the spectroscope, and a ouantitative analysis showed that there was nearly five times more than the minimum quantity suffi­cient to eause death.

The "Matin" this morning says that the inquiry into the causes of the death of M. Syveton will be continued to-day, and may last several days. It is reported that M. Boucard, the "juge d'instruction," lias made an important discovery in tiie shape of a telegram despatched on the day of M. Svveton's death, and worded as follows : "Do not speak ; let us let the dead lie in peaoe." This telegram is said to have been signed by M. Menard, M. Syveton's stepson.

RUGBY EOOTBALL IN PABIS.

Contrary to all expectations, says the "Presse," the Stade Français beat the Racing Club de France yesterday by 8 points (1 goal and 1 try) to 3 points (1 try). This match decided both the first round of the Paris (Ifugby) championship an ! the Coupe de l'Olympique.

The Racing Club's three-quarter line was completely disorganized owing to the absence of Lasne, Levé and Klingel-hoefer, but, on the other hand, the Stade Français showed great improvement. The game was of a very interesting descrip­tion. Tallence and Yareille scored tries for the winners, and Hawley crossed the line for the Racing Club.

Association Football. The following were the results of the

matches played yesterday in the Paris championship competition (first series) : —

Racing Club de France and Club Français played a draw of one gcal each.

Société Athlétique de Montrouge beat Standard Athletic Club by 8 goals to 2.

United Sports Club beat Association Sportive Fran­çaise by 5 to 1.

Football Club de Paris beat Paris Star (match scratched by latter).

Gallia Club beat Club Athlétique du XlVe Arron­dissement by 4 to 0.

Union Sportive Parisienne beat Football Club de Levallois by 6 to 0.
