THE COMPOSITE GuNBOATs.
Qualification of the Navy Department
mt Their Success.

The Navy Department is highly gratided
with the reports that are coming in upon
the excellent performances of the COM
posite gunboats Of the Princeton type. This
is a design original with Chief Constructor
Hichborn. and naturally the official reports
were watched with interest by the depart
ment to learn the degree of success attain
ed. Those that have come in from the
Marietta and the Annapolis are highly sat

yesterday from Captain West of the

were experienced most of the voyage.

for thirty hours. She lay comfortably i'm

THE NAVY YARD FIRE.
An Emergency Appropriation TO BE
Asked of Congress.

The naval officials are lamenting the loss
of the big machine shop at the New York
navy yard yesterday as one calculated 10
retard some important work either already
started or about to begin. Congress will he
appealed to Immediately to provide an emer-
gency appropriation TO repair the damage
done at the earliest possible moment. En-
gineer-in-Chief Melville believes that no
less than half million dollars will be re-
quired TO provide a new plant.
The official news of the fire came to the
Navy Department in two kilograms. one
from Captain Sumner. the acting command
ant, and the other from Chief Engineer
Windsor, in charge of the engineering de-
partment of the yard The loss was de-
scribed as total.
The battle ship Indiana was under repair
in that department. having new furnaces
htted, and this work was nearly complete
1t Is not believed that serious delay will
be experienced in making the ship ready to
join the north Atlantic squadron i'm the
southern cruise. The Cincinnati is at the
yard and was about to be put out of COM
mission, with the purpose of undergoing
the most extensive repairs involving a good
deal of machine work. The Newark was
also to be almost rebuilt as to machinery
and modernized. Then there was a good
deal of work under way on torpedo boats
all connected with the machinery. The
Navy Department will probably be under
the necessity of calling upon the resources
OF some of the big shipbuildng and engine
works in New York and vicinity to help
out in this work until the machinery plant
can be replaced 1t is even possible that
some of the vessels may be sent to other
navy yards for repairs, and in this case
Boston will probably be the lucky yard.
Constructor Rowles was telegraphed this
morning TO allow the engineers to utilize
the construction departments facilities.

FOR CURRENCY REVISION.
Republican Committee Selected b.
RepresentattXe GrOsxenOr.

Representative Grosvenor of Ohio, chair
man of the republican caucus, has an
nounced the appointment of the following
republicans of the House as members of the
committee provided by the resolution of the
republican caucus on currency legislation:
Representatives Henderson of Iowa, Payne,
New York: Dalzell, Pennsylvania; Kerr,

1t will be observed that no member of the

is put upon this committee Referring to
this fact Representative Grosyenor said:
Il made the appointments in that way
after full and free conference with most of
the members of the committees and with
prominent members of the House. 1t must
not be for a moment understood that the
omission of members of these committees

NEXT PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION.
1t Will Start in Few Days on the
Sheridan.

The next expedition to the Philippines will
leave New York in a few days on the trans
port Sheridan. which will follow the same
route across the Atlantic ocean through the
Suez canal taken by the transports Grant
and Sherman. The Sheridan will carry the
18th Regiment of Infantry, and a battalion
of four companies of the 18th Infantry.
These troops are now on their way to New
York, and, if everything goes well. will
reach there by tomorrow at the latest. The
18th Infantry, which is travelling in three
sections over the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, left Martinsburg, w. Va. shortly af-
ter o'clock this morning, and passed
through Washington shortly after noon.
They did not enter the depot here but were
transferred over the at the intersection

the road to Baltimore. They remained
here about - minutes; only long enough to
take on a fresh supply of provisions They
were snowbound for two days in the noun

suffered no hardshps in consequence and
were royalty entertained by the people of
Cumberland, Nd. and other places where
they were compelled to lay over while the
road was being opened to travel. Five men

Right of Trustees Involved.

Laura 1. Oicott, through Attorneys Will
liam BiTney and Wharton E. Lester, today
filed a bill in equity for an accounting
against Francis H. Smith, Martin l. Kohl
er, James E Fitch, Brooke Mackan and
Jacob Van Vechten O!cott. Messrs. Smith
and Kohler are sued trustees named
in certain deed of trust executed by
Mackall. Messrs. Fitch and Olcott also
sued as trustees under another deed of
trust from Mackall
The suit is brought to test the right of
trustees to pay auctioneers out of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of property. The COM
plainant declares that the trustees had no
authority whatever to employ an auctioneer
to cry the sale of the property involved by
the deeds of trust referred to, or to pay
such auctioneer any sum whatever out of
the proceeds of the sale.

Some of our Democratic cOntem-

lieve that the volunteer soldiers are
not in sympathy with the efforts oI
the government to suppress the Fill
Pine rebellion, and possibly there Is
now and then one who il not, but it
is not true as regards the great ma
iority. As a matter Of fact, Gen.
Otis has said in his dispatches that
the volunteers under his command
have no desire to return home until
they have dealt the rebels Il crushing
blow. Now the Democratic COVER
nor OF Missouri has personally called
ON the president and voluntarily of
fered the entire Sixth Missouri regi'
ment, now at Havana, for service in
the Philippines, to he enlisted under
the army organization law. Also,
the Ninth Illinois and several other
volunteer regiments have expressed
a willingness to remain i'm the service
and go to the Philippines.

The poor old Democratic party is

The controversy as to whether Bryan

sllyer-tips OF the party, whether he
should eat n ten or a onedullarmeal.
had hardly been settled in favor OF
the latter before another sensation is
sprung by the resignation OF Coin
Harvey as financial manager OF the
party. This fellow Harvey had
evolved a scheme from his clock-like
brain whereby he was to secure sey-
eral million dollars. more or less, for
the campaign of 1900. He was ask
ing contributions of one dollar from
the toilers of the country To tend,
and, we believe, had some prizc-pack-
ages composed of cheap cigars that
would drive Il pnlerat out of a hen
house. In any event, IL cametO pass
that Chairman Jones becamea ~ much
disgustcd with Harvry's methods ms
the people have with his financial
vagarics. and declared him "A vision
aire and a dreamer, hence the rup-
turc. This may put an end To the
whole bunco game, but it would be
interesting to know how many suck
ers Harvey caught before he stepped
down and out. 1t is bad enough tie
try to make the people believe that
10 cents worth of silver will pass for
a dollar, without asking them to
give up n dollar that is as good as
the gold. This man Harvey at one

proves the truth Of the remark once
made by =. T. Barnum that 1.-THE

Football and the Seed Market.

An agricultural seed market seport
is surely the last place in which one
would expect TO find a discussion on the
influence of football. In the last re-
port of the London agricultural seed
market. however. the connection is
clearly pointed out. There has been a
steady decrease in the sale of canary
ard other seeds. and this has been
traced to the fact hat huge numbers
of people, especially in the north of
England, who used formerly TO keep
cage birds or devote their leisure TO
small gardens now give all their spare
time and interest to football.-West-
