ADMIRAL BUCHANAN.
ShHft Proposed in Honor of the
Merrimac C0mmander

Members of the camp of the Confederate
Veterans of this city are interested in the
erection shortly az Richmond of Il uninrle
memorial to Admiral Franklin Buchanan
Of the Confederate Navy, by the Daugh-
terS of the COnfederacy of Virginia. The
memorial is to be q section of proueller
shattinS from the machinery of the famous
2rnf@derate ram Merrimcc, which was COM
nanded by Admiral Buchanan during the
famous battle in Hampton Roads when the
Cumberland was sunk and the Congress
blown out Of the water. The shaft was
discovered among a nondescript collection
OF IRON junk in possession of q Richmond
dealer, and has since been thoroughly iden-
titled as part Of the famous ironcIad
through the efforts of Mr. EirSiEius New
ton of Richmond and Col. Fl. Ashton Ram
say of Baltimore. Colonel Ramsay was
chief engineer and Mr. Newton was a mid
shipman on the Merrimac The shaft was
among otner wfeckage raised when the
channel approaches to Norfolk were deep
ened.
Admiral Buchanan was born in Baltimore
September II, 1890, and died in Talbot
county, Md, May IL. 1874. Upon the out
break of the civil war he entered the con-
federate navy, and won fame as comma nder
of the ironclad Merrimac famed not more
for its achievement in the first battle of
Hampton Roads than for the revolution
IN naval architecture resulting from its
effectiveness over vessels Of the old school
of which both the Congress and Cumber.
land were types.
Admiral Buchanan was so seriouslv in
jured in the first G"y's battle that he cou,d
not command the ironclad in its less sue
cessful encounter with the Monitor. The
franklin Buchanan Camp of Baltimore
will present bronze inscription ablet for
the memorial shaft. which is to be erected
in front of the jefferson Davis building AT
Richmond. The Shaft Is fourteen and a
half inches in diameter and is twenty
seven and a half feet long. 1t has been
polished and bronzed. and in addition to a
suitable pedestal, X will be surmo,,nted nv
an estabiature- supporting the bust of the
admiral. The date of the unveiing has not
yet been fixed.

THE NEW LIBRARIAN
Mr.. Herbert Putnam Will Take Charge on
the 41h of April.
Not Expected He VIII Make Any Radi-
cal Changes in the
Personnel.

Mr.. Spofford, acting librarian of Congress,
has received letter from Mr.. Putnam, the
new librarian, announcing that he will take
the oath of Office and enter upon his new
duties Tuesday, April 4.
Mr.. Putnam's resignation will be accept
ed by the trustees of the Boston Public

purpose to lose no time in assuming his

MI. SrOTord's AnticipatiOns.
Mr.. Spofford anticipates the coming of
Mr.. Putnam with satisfaction. He has
known the new librarian Tor severs. yea. >,
and their personal relations cordial.
Furthermore, he has had opportunity to
become acquainted with Mr.. Putnams $
quaiircauons as a librarian, upon which he
places high estimate. He has great con-
ndence IN MIR. PutEam's judgment, tact and
executive ability, and prophesleS that he
VIII be success in his new field of work.
No Radical Changes Expected.
1t is not believed in official circles that
Mr.. Putnam will make any radical changes
in the personnel of the library He will
certainly not, his friends say, make va
cancies to be filled for political reasons
He has no political debts to pay in this
instance and does not believe in that kind
of thing, anyway, with respect to an Office
like the library. He may institute some in
qulries into the fitness of his employees and
weed out the incompetent if he should find
them.
There is still a great deal of speculation
among those who are acquainted with Mr..
Putnam's character, and who know the
pressure which will be brought upon him.
as TO how his Independence and determi-
nation VIII Withstand congressional patron
age methods. 1t will be a new experience
for him, and some interest is manifested in
The outcome.
