HOME OF SECRETARY BLISS
The House He Has Selected Was
once Senator POmerOy's.
How He Has Provided for the Conf
forts Without the Inconyen-
fences of Hotel Life.

Secretary Bliss took possession of his
new home Yesterday. The brown stone
double house on II street, next door to
st. John S, is really an annex to the
Arlington. and as the hotel Will furnish
the table and servants, it will be seen
that the Secretary has achieved the ideal
home by insurng for himself all the com
forts and none of the trials of housekeep
ing. He literally presses button and
the hotel does the rest. The house was
built twenty-five years ago, and is nlS
torical socially, as The former nome OF
Senator Pomeroy Of whom il used o be
said in those days that he was always Civ
ing dinner parties except when Mrs.
Poineroy was giving balls.
The orthodox front entrance has inner
doors paneled with stained glass knights
Haunting inscriptions that are doubtless
beautifully appropriate to those wtio can
de,ipher them, but there is i'll addition
a big side door that opens from the hotel
corri,icr, SO that when the Secretary be-
comes unbearably harassed by callers wac
want to run the affairs of the interior
Department for him he can vanish through
that biz side door int. the Arlington and
send word with an untarnished conscience
that he Is not at home. The parlor is
furnished in delft biue-blue papering, blue
velvet carpet and pOrtieres of blne plush.
The porIieres divide the parlor from the
dining-Toon, the cOloring Of which is tie
-ich, dusky rel that is a happy medium
between terra Gotta and PompeiiaL. The
tracery and the round table and antique
chairs are Of plain polished old oak.
There is a smaller room beyond, with
the same pattern red carpet, which she
Secretary Will use for an office. 1t was
IL that room that Secretary Gresham died
during the last administration.

To He Fitted In.

The old frigate Constitution is to come to
Washington. Representative Fitzgerald
of Massachusetts, appeared before the ma
val committee yesterday, and succeeded in
securing provision in the naval appro-
priation bill for fitting up the old frigate
Constitution, now lying at the Portsmouth
navy yard as a naval museum. In 1894 an
appropriation of IS 600 was made for fitting
up the Constitution for use by the-navaI
militia, but it was afterward found to be
inadvisable TO attempt to use her for that
purpose. and the appropriation was never
expended.
The present provision will make this
money available for fitting mp the Consti-
tuition as a museum. 1t Is proposed to
bring the Constitution to Washington, Sec
retary Herbert estimated, in response to
Mr.. Fltzgeralds resolution, that 1t would
cost $4,000 to make the old frigate sea-
worthy and bring her to the Potomac, but
ii is believed that 5000 Will be sufficient
as the cost of towing her down the coast
can be paid out of the naval fund provided
for this general purpose.

bill. Before this was done. however.
warm personal and political colloquy oc-
CURED between Mr.. Lodge and Nj. Chan
dler on one hand and Mr.. German on the
other. The Maryland senator took excep-
ton to recent suggestions of steamship and
corporate influence, and declared there
would be ample opportunity within the
next year for republican senators to resist
the corporate influences at work after
March 4. In reply Mr.. Chandler asserted
that the Maryland senator had for the first
time turned an immigration debate into
partisan channels. Mr. Villas added an
other day to his speech against the Mica
ragua canal.
He declared that any assertion of exclu-
sive American control of the canal would
be an invitation to war. Not only Great
Britain. but Germany, France and the
commercial nations of the world would de.
mand the same rights as those enjoyed by
the most favored nation in the use of the
canal. They would deal with Nicaragua,
for she was the sovereign along the route,
and the United States was there merely in
The form of the canal corporation.
Mr.. Villas had not concluded when, at
5:15 pm, the Senate went into executive
session, and soon after adjourned.
