his merits. Commander Kellogg had just
returned from trip to New York, carry

with him. There seemed to be good rea-
son why he should not as there was no one
ON board to offend, and as the chief use OF
vessels of this class has been to transport
supplies and to serve the purpose as pleas

his friends. However, Secretary Hunt has

some excitement tonight, particularly in
naval circles, and Secretary Hunt is cri;iei-

somewhat disappointed, as ne had
