Capt. Sampson's Report.

Washington, Oct. 31.—1 n his annual report Capt. W. T. Sampson, chief of the naval ordnance bureau, submits estimates aggregating $6,457,584 for the next fiscal year. Last year’s estimate of $500,000 for guns for the auxiliary navy is renewed. The wisdom of the department’s declaration In favor of thirteen-lnch guns for the new battleships is said to have been conclusively demonstrated.
