DR.. Brown had held the chairman

Chaplain Wright Transferred.

1t Is with great regret that the people
OF Norfolk have to part with Rev.
carroll Q. Wright. chaplain. u. S. N,
who has been a resident here for the
past three years, during which period
he has formed many warm personal
associates. He has been ordered to the
United States ship New York, flagship
OF the North Atlantic squadron. 1t is
understood that while he no doubt had
a greater liking for this appointment
than any other sea duty to which he
could have been assigned, he had hoped
to have his orders at this station ex-
tended for year after his regular
term of shore duty is completed this
spring.
Mr.. Wright's official connection with
this station was as chaplain of the
United States receiving ship >Franklin.
but he resided in Client. where he had
a pleasant home. His family will re-
main h'r- for the present IN addition
to his ministerial duties in the navy
he has given much of his time to work
of that class in this section. He has
rendered invaluable service to the
Church of Christ (Dsciples), OF which
denomination he is member.
Although MIR. Wright has been n
chaplain in the navy for fifteen years
lie is stu young man. His first an
pointment in the navy was In Penn
sylvania. He is 81 broad minded Chris
tian gentleman Of fine conversational
qualities, and a warm-hearted friend
and exceedingly companionable. He
holds tile Tar1k of corrfrffstffttrT IN the
navy and is the only minister of that
denomination in its service. Prior to
his duties here he was six years at sea
In Il day or two Mr.. Wright will leave
Norfolk for Galveston, Tex, TO join his

NEEDS OF THE NAVY.
E.timntcS of Appropriations VIII
Amount to More Than x55.OOO.OOO.

The several bureaus of the Navy De-
partment have practically completed tn,
estimates OF appropriations for the fiscal
year 19c1-O2. and will submit them
to the Secretary of the Navy very soon.
1t is row certain that the estimates will
amount to more than $75,000,G COO, and this
will not include abe cost of new war
ships. Three million dollars necessary t.
continue work on the new buildings at
the Naval Academy will be one OF the
largest single items.
Secretary Long is not inclined to ask
Congress to appropriate any money for
armored vessels. The armorclEd5 under
construction are so numerous that the
shipbuilding concerns engaged in their
construction have about all the work
they can do. A number of other armor-
clads have heen authorized, but are not
yet on the stocks, Congress having for
hidden the Navy Department to make
contracts fer their construction ultil the
armOr controversy had been ad listed and
armor plate was obtainable at REASONABLE,
rates. Because of these cond lions Sec
rotary Long will probably recommend
only that authorization be given ty Gen.
gress for the construction Of some light
draft gunboats especially available for
service in the shallow waters of the
Philippine lagoons and Chinese rivers.
More enlisted men will be asked f5r.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Assistant Secretary Of War Meikleiohn,
in his letter to Mr.. Bryan in respect TO
slavery in the Sulus. published yesterday
in your evening edition. makes the follow
ing quotation from letter from the Sec
rotary of War to General Otis:
Tic President instructs me to advise YOU
that the agreement signed August % 1899. he
tween Brig. Gen. John {. Bates. representing the
United States, Of the one part, the Sultan OF
Jolo the nato Rajah Muda, the Dato Attik, the
Dato Calbi. and the Dato Joakanain. Of the other
part is confirmed and approved, subject TO the
action Of Congress provided for in that clause
Of the Treaty of Peace between the United
States and Spain which provides. The civil
rights and the political status of the native in
habitants OF the territory ceded to the United
States shall be determined by Congress- ard
with the understanding and reservation, which
should be distinctly communicated to the Sultan
of Ioo. that this agreement is not to be deemed
i'll any way to authorize or give the consent Of
the United States to the existence Of slavery
in the Sulu Archipelago, thing which Is made
impossible by the thirteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States"
Ii the thirteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution makes the existence OF slavery
in the Sulu Archipelago impossible. that
amendment must extend to and be in force
to those isiands-f 1t is not in force
there-how can it make slavery impossi-
BILE there? But II. as claimed by the
President in his instructions to the Sec
rotary of War. it does apply to the Sulu
Islands with such force as to make slavery
there impossible because of its provisions,
does not every other article of the Con-
stitution apply with equal force, not only
in the Sulu Islands. but in the island of
Porto Rico also?
1t seems to me the Constitution cannot
be so divided as to make part of it apply
to our insular possessions and other parts
not to apply. 1t must apply and he in
force as whole. or not at all. Why should
the thirteenth amendment extend to the
Suiu Islands. and the first clause of sec
ton s of Article l not extend to Porto
Rico? Why should the one make the ex-
istence of slavery in the SulrI Archipelago
impossible. and the other not make il i'm
possible for Congress 10 discriminate
against Porto Rico in respect to duties on
imports? SYDNEY i. MARSHALL.

CHASE AFTER A LINER.
Great Efforts to Put a B~Iatcd Pas
senger on the New York.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1o.-There was an ex-
citing chase after the outgoing steamship
New York this morning. and about two
hundred persons remained on the Ameri-
can Line pier to witness the outcome
The cause of all the excitement was r
F. Floren, a secOnd-cabin passenger, who
arrived from Louisville. Ky. in time to
find the New York backing out into the
North River. He rushed to the end of
the pier carrying two dress-suit cases
and a large bundle. He begged the off
GERS to put him en- board
They went out to the extreme end Of
the pier, and. after some moments had
been lost signaling to two tugbOats con-
ing down the river with scows in tow the
tug William Fuller signaIed that she was
coming in to the pier. Before the boat
could get in the t"o tows got in the way
and there was another delay.
In the mean time. the New York had
Strengthened out. and was going down the
river. The agents then raised the signal
to stop hcr-a yellow flag above enc of
red and white. The Fuller went around
the tow. and was coming in to the pier
when she wGs intercepted by the police
beat Patrol
About the same time there was quick,
short blast from the New York in reply
to the sigma! from the pier. The passen-
ger was put on the tug and carried down
to the steamship
