The Kaiserin Augusta is the most mod ern warship now in the fleet and presents many points of interest. Her captain, who speaks English fuently, said:
 ''The Kaiserin Augusta is now in American waters for the first time. This is her maiden trip. In fact, she was launched at Kiel in March, 1899, and her engines were tried for the first time on the 10th of last month. She went into com mission the next day, and on March 15, little over 30 days ago, started for the United States. This is tho third port she has entered, for she stopped at Queenstown and Halifax on her way here"
 The Kaiserin Augusta is not only one of the most modern ships in the harbor, but she is the only vessel here with three screws, one on each side of the rutlder and the third extending some distance out from the centre of the stern. The engine for each screw is independent of the others and is built in watertight bulkheads With these screws she has made a record of 28 knots an hour.
 Even with nine more men, -of-war to ar rive the naval rendezvous has already resumed proportions which entitle it to rank as one of tho greatest aggregations of float. ing batteries which the world has ever wit messed. It does not, to be entirely accurate, compare with the naval review of the oEAblah navy Oh Dplb I10ttu Ou Juo OCCbSlOn of the jubilee celebration in 16S7 when over hundred ships were gathered to- gether Since that time, however, there have been enough improvement in the construction and armoring of naval fight CTS to make the exhibition here thoroughly unique.
 Admiral Gherardi paused a moment as he stood upon the deck of the Philadelphia when he was asked how many million dollars would be represented upon the Enter when all the ships assembled in the A.Oads.
 ''Ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty -five," he said, making a mental calculation. "Yes, fully $25. 100000. And do you know" he added, "how many men there will be or board the shipsl Nol We'll, there will be 5000 men. There are 8, 900 men on my own ships"
 And Sow are all these men to be pro vided with food!"
 The Admiral laughed "With Balti more under our lee" he said, unconsciously dropping into nautical expression, land with New York and even Chicago not very distant, do not think any of us will want for anything to eat.
 But what interests me is the point o view from which landsmen look at us You ask questions about things which dt not concern me at all-matters to which would never give 8 moments thought For instance, you ask me how my men arr to get enough to eat, and how they wasl their clothes; whether one set of officer: eats with another set of officers; and the next thing, l suppose, you will want tt know how much money we waste in firing salutes"
 Most assuredly," immediately replied | the correspondent.
 The Admiral threw all his dignity to thu four winds and actually chuckled.
 "Well," he said, "as matter of fact ! all the powder we use has been condemned and Is really not good for anything else.

 in the Number of Appointments.
 WASHINGTON, April 19.-The adjourn ment of the Senate has been followed by a general exodus of Senators from the city and the Capitol building has very de- serted look.

April 19.-It is said that At torney General Olney has ruled against the Worlds Fair on the important questions recently submitted by the exposition au- thorities, and in turn submitted by Secre- tary Carlisle to the Attorney General for . legal opinion.

 According to the information received from Q leading Treasury official, MT. Olney holds that one Congress can qualify acts of a previous Congress by attaching condi- tions to gifts and appropriations.

WORLDS FAIR T

The worlds fair has two miles Of
lunch counters.
SOME young men of Bordentown. n.
j., have devised a clever plan for visit
ing the worlds fair. They have hired
a freight car, fitted it with twelve
hunks, a cook stove and a well-stocked
larder, and will go to Chicago at an
expense of about tend dollars apiece.
AMONG the relics to be found in the
wonan's section of the Illinois build
ing at the worlds fair is a Muzio
Clement piano nearly two hundred
years old, and, SO far as known, there
is but one like it in the United States,
and that is at Mt. Vernon, the home of
Washington.
THE Merchant Tailors' building on
the worlds fair grounds is a unique
and beautiful structure, an almost
perfect imitation of a small Greek tenn
pie. Within, On eight large panels,
are skillfully illustrated modes OF
dressing from the time when fig-leaves
were the only dress fabrics in use until
the present day.
