STEAMBOAT IMPROVEMENTS MIR j..
Callahan, general manager Of the Nor
folk and Washington line, has had
plans prepared for extensive improve
ments in the steamers Norfolk and
Washington. He proposes TO extend
the galleries on the upper deck OF
the steamers so as to odd twenty four
additional rooms. giving sleeping ac-
commOdations to forty-ei bit more first
Class passengers than the steamers can
now carry. This addition has been
made necessary by the extremely
heavy travel over the line. The joiner
work for the improvement is now being
done at Steelton, near Baltimore, and
the work OF erecting it on the boats will
be begun 10 few weeks. The steamer
Wakefield, which has just undergone
thorough overhauling from engine
room to saloon, has resumed her place
90 the river route, with Capt. Ned
Owens in command. The steamer Az
rowsmith, which has been upon the
route in place of the Wakefield, will be
laid up until the summer excursion sea-
son opens.

Chinese To Celebrate New
Year.

Wednesday will be the beginning of
the Chinese New Year, and Celestials
in Washington, those connected with
the Diplomatic Corps and those in pri-
vate life, have arranged for a fitting
celebration. Uncertainty regarding
the real situation in China, however
may interfere with these plans, for
there is no definite news here telling
whether the Empror, Kuang Su, is
dead or alive. This means that the
Chinese do not know whether it is this
year or last with them. According to
the Chinese calendar each epoch be-
gins with the ascension of the Emper-
or. II Kuang Su is alive, Wednesday
will be the beginning of the twenty
sixth year of his reign. If he is dead,
the year one of the reign of his success
sor began on the day OF his death. In
the latter case the celebration, if ar
ranged for Wednesday, will be several
days late. AS all accounts of the
death of the Emperor thus far receiv-
ed here are unofficial, it is probable
that the New Years celebration will
be held as arranged.-Com. Trlb.

"King Of the Opium Ring"

Virtue dethrones vice and a beauti-
full moral is taught in the great Chin
ese-American play, king Of the Op-
ium Ring" which will be the attrac-
ton at the Auditorium next Tuesday
night, Feb. 6. The plot deals with the,
life of both high and lowly, and shows,
the many treacherous pitfalls that
threaten he who travels the road of
the rough. Sunshine and shadow of
the great Metropolis of the west af-
ford the plot comedy, heart interest
and many sensational surprises. The
scenery for all four acts is said to be
beautiful. II comes from the studio
of d. Frank Dodge, Herald Square
Theatre, New York, and as Mr.. Dodge
is a native of the Golden West and ia
miliar with the scenes in and about
San Francisco, his work has the virtue
of being an accurate production. San
Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate, the
heart of Chinatown, with its joss
house and Chinese theatre are ali
shown, and the play is mounted on an
elaborate scale, with an all-star cast

The largest Upstream Trip.

The Oakland recently arrived at
Cairo with the largest tow in tonnage
that was ever brought up from New
Orleans by towboat, says the Water
ways Journal. she had five barges
containing 10000 barrels of sugar,
valued at nearly 100000. Yet croak-
ers win continue to "holler" that the
river is dead and that "the raih1nds
have got us" Tho Cherokee left St.
Louis last Monday with no less than
l5O passengers and one of the largs5s
freight trips that ever left St. Louis
in the commerce trade. and coming up
she had to refuse freight before she
got to Chester The Rees Lee, goinS
into Memphis last Saturday, had nearly
1000 packages, and coming up she had
one of the biggest stock trips ever
brought into st. Louis from Memphis.
This doesn't look like the river busi-
rass is dead.

Captain Sigsbee is Worrying.

Captain Sigsbee cannot forget the
Maine. This is said to be the real rea-
son why he was transferred from the
command of the battle ship Texas to
the position CT Chief of the Intelli-
gence Bureau of the Navy Department.
Captain Sigsbee arrived in Washing
ton today to assume the duties of his
new assignment. Since the explosion
of the Maine in Havana harbor the
Captain has never enjoyed the same
good health he had known prior to
that tragedy In the interval he has
seen a great deal of arduous service,
first as commander of the St. Paul
through the Spanish War, and later as
commander of the Texas. His tour of
duty on the latter ship has been as
severe as any he has seen. The ship
passed through much bad weather,
which kept Captain Sigsbee on the
bridge for long period, and in one
instance he stayed at his post almost
without moving for thirty-two hours.
In consequence he broke a blood vessel
in his leg, and the pain and weakness
have caused him great suffering. The
physical effect on the officers and men
who have suffered the shcck of the ex-
plosion of the Maine has been the sub
ject of frequent discussion in naval
, l., l11t .
who went through that terrible ordeal
sooner or later will show signs of
breaking down physically. That is it
appreciated by the department that
these officers and men should not be
subjected to severe service seems to
be indicated by the action in Captain
Slgsbee's case.-Washlngton Cor

River Closing.

Indications are at present that the
Ohio river will be closed again unless
the weather changes for the warmer
today. There is a stage of only 6.5
feet at this point and under such con-
ditions as prevail a freeze-up will
probably result.
Heavy ice was running yesterday
and the crew of the Elolse, which came
down and tied up yesterday report
several gorges at points up the river.
Several of the local craft are lying in
tho mouth OF the Muskingum and
rlVerman said yesterday that he ex-
pected this tie-up would be longer
than the last one, when the beats were
tied up mp for two weeks
The Marietta wharfboat has been
taken into the harbor at the mouth of
the Muskingum. Near her lie the To-
cal boats Elolse. Barnsdall, Urania.

Governor Roosevelt on Regu-
lar VS.. Volunteer Troops.

Under modern conditions, in great
civilized state, the regular army is
composed of officers who have been
carefully trained to their work; who
possess remarkably fine physique, and
who are accustomed to the command
of men ard to taking the lead in en-
ergencies; and the enlisted men have
likewise been picked out with great
care as to their bodily development;
have been drilled until they handle
themselves, their horses. and their
weapons admirably can cook for them
selves and are trained to endurance of
hardship and exposure under the con
ditlors of march and battle. An or
dinary volunteer or militia regiment,
on the other hand, no matter how on
thusiastiC or patriotic, or how intelli-
gent is ofIicered by lawyers, mer-
chants, business men, or their sons,
and contains in its ranks clerks, me-
chanics, or farmers lads of varying
PhJ JSAibNf WIZ nave ~ NC ldDOIlOu5ly
caught how to shoot and how to ride
and, above all, how to cook and to
take care of themselves and make
themselves comfortable in the open,
especially when tired out by long
marches, and when the weather is bad.
At the outset such regiment is, or
course, utterly inferior to a veteran
regular regiment;but after it has been
in active service in the field fur a
year or two, so that its weak men have
been weeded out, and its strong men
have learned their dutles-Which can
be learned far more rapidly in time of
war than in time OF peaee-it becomes
equal to any regiment Moreover, If
a regular regiment consists of raw re-
cruits and is ofticered by men who
have learned their profession only in
the barracks, and the study, and on the
parade ground. 1t may be a cause Of
very dlsagreeable surprise to those
who have grown to regard the word
regular as kind of fetich.-Febru-
ary Seribner's.
