TO FACILITATE REFERENCES,
Books to BE Placed in the Capitol for
the Members tse

Mr.. Putnam, librarian of Congress, was
asked by Star reporter today in regard to
a report that a collection of books is to be
placed in the Capitol for the special use of
senators and representatives. and whether
such special collection would in any way
change the relations of Congress with the
great library of which he has charge.
There are now no miscellaneous books
of reference a the Capitol whatever" re-
phe9 Mr.; Putnam. "and there has been a
good deal of complaint on the part of iudi-
Vldual members Of Congress that for the
most elementary reference books they are
obllsed to wait from fifteen to twenty-five
minutes While they come from the main
| library. There is the Senate library and
there is the House library, but theseN libra
I!eS are simply collections of documents
Inc Library of Congress is represented al
the capitol now simply by the terminus of
the pneumatic tube and of the tunnel book
railway but there are no biblioGraphlc
tools over there. There is no catalogue
there OF what the main library contains
and there is not an encyclopaedia. diction-
J afy. gazetteer, atlas or any other reference
book or manual that may answer the most
elementary inquiry or aid to the knowledge
| of what books exist in the general coliec-
| tion that might be of service.
We are getting together in duplicate a
| small collection of such photographic tools
| and reference books. By the time Congress
meets We shall have them prepared for use
and shall be ready to send them over to
| the Capitol as soon as shelving and space
| for consultation shall be provided by Con-
gress. We shall hope to duplicate there
also later on wha card catalogue shall
| be provided for the main collection.
All this will not in any way be a substi-
| tCte for the use by Congress of the main
collection. That will always be primarily
| the Library of Congress, legislative ref
erence library. On the contrary, the pur-
pose of this special collection will be to in
| crease the use of the main library by plac-
| ing close at hand the best information as
| to what Il contains that may be of service
| Incidentally, the presence of such reference
| books as are placed close at hand in dupli-
| cate will obviate the delay of sending over
to the main library building for books con-
| stantly in use.

The SIX NEW CRUISERS.
Bids VIII BE Invited by the Depart
ment in n Few Days.

Shipbuilders are manifesting great inter-
est in the construction of the six new cruis-
ers authorized by the last Congress, bids for
which will be called for by the Navy De-
partment in a few days. The cost of these
vessels is limited to 81 ,1400 900 each, and they
are to be completed inside of two years and
six months. They have been named the
Denver, Des Moines. Chattanooga, Cleve-
land. Galveston and Tacoma.
According 20 the designs prepared by the
bureau of Instruction these vessels will be
about the same size and dimensions of the
Raleigh and Cincinnati, but will contain
many improvements, the chief of which is
greater radius of action.
The general dimensions and features of
the Denver and her class will be as follows:
Length N ioadwater line, ~ feet; extreme
length. Bus feet > inches; extreme breadth.
about t3 feet; mean draught at trial dis
placement, tWu-thirds; coal, ammunition
and stores. II feet inches; extreme draft,
fully loaded, 16 feet inches; trial dispIace-
ment, about 3.1O0; full load displacement,
about 3,40J ions; coal carried on trial, 40
tons; total bunker capacity. not less than
200 tons: speed on trlal, not less than
lpi2 knots; tyre of engines, vertical in
mated hors- power, l,5pO; type of boilers,
water tune and number of boilers g.
The armament viii be "a follows: Main
battery, 10 f.ve-Ech rapid-fire guns; aux
Hilary battery, siX-pounders, rapid-tire
guns. Cne-pcunder rapid-fire guns. Colt
ma hine guns; sail area, about 6,UOO square
feet.
The coal capacity of these ships are 700
tons when the bunzers are full. This gives
them 4 radius of acting at full speed of
| about 2GO miles At the most economical
rate OF steaming, probably in the neighbor-
| hood Of ten kfots per hour, they will he
| able to steam about 800 miles without re
cOalinG, or more than sufficient TO take
them from San Francisco to Manila. The
ammunition supply will be large, as it
should be to make rapid-fire guns effective.
For each of the ive-inch guns they will
carry 80 rounds. and for each of the six
Founders, 800 rounds
The wood material used In the construc-
tion of the huls will be reduced to a mini
mum. water-tight deck covered with
| half-inch plate WI. cover the vessel from
| stem to stern. The cruisers will carry a
! complement of 2. officers, 23S seamen and
| - marines.

EXPELLED THE FRIARS.
Capt. Leary. Governor of Guam, Sent
Away the Disturhers.

The Navy Department has received a re-
port from Capt. Leary, the naval governor
of the Island of Guam, in the LadrOnes.
which has excited a good deal of interest
among the officials to whom it has been eX-
hihited. The President himself has read
the report, his interest being particularly
attracted by the disclosure of the fact that
the first American governor of the island
has already been obliged to adopt heroic
measures to insure proper administration
of affairs there.
Capt. Leary soon learned that his author
ity as governor was being subverted and
every one of the measures of reform which
he proposed was being defeated by the hos
tile influence of the friars. They resisted
every decree, no matter of what character
from a spirit of intense conservatism, and
a belief that any disturbance of the order
of things which had governed the island
for SO many years would cause them to
lose their hold upon the natives, whom
they absolutely dominate. After exhaust
ing all other means to overcome this iniiu-
ence, Capt. Leary reports that he was
Obliged to notify half dozen of the friars
that they might have free transportation
away from Guam, and he should expect
them to avail themselves of the offer That
left but one friar on the island and he was
man whose character and reputation We're
such as 70 convince Capt Leary of his fit
ness to remain.
