Improvements az the Pensacola
navy yard under the efficient and
energetic management OF Command
ant w. w. Reisin2er. but there has
been no blast of trumpetS--no boast
ing of better things to come.
= Slowly, but steadily, improvements
have been added. A complete mod
ern electric light plant Wa, installed,
new and substantial wharves were
built, the entire yard was renovated
and made as trim and neat as the
deck OF man of war, Improved fa-
cllltleS for c0allng vessels were put
in, new and powerful floating docks
were brought here from New York
and the machine shops were put in
order so that small VI SselS could be
built or repaired.
On short notice during the Span
ish-American war tugs bought by
the government were armOred and
converted into auxiliary war ships
at this yard, showing that Com
manGer Reisinger is ready to do any
work the government will entIust to
the Pensacola navy yard.
Now another step forward has
been recorded by sending here TO
take coal the powerful war ships
New York, Texas and Machias. This
was done no doubt to test the chan
mel, because of the fact that hereto /
fore no official government map
showing more than 24 feet of water
through the channel has been made. (.
Recent dredging, however, has given
US sufficient water to float deep draft
vessels, and, on the official report of .
COmmandant Reisinger that there
was 81 feet of water entirely through .
the channel at low tide, the war yes
sells were ordered here. The ease
with which the New York, drawing
% t feet, entered, makes an official
record that will bring other deep
draft war and commercial vessels to
this port.
But COmmandant Reisinger's work
of Re habilitating the Pensacola navy
yard has not ceased at what has
been done. He has other and great
er plans for the cOnSummatiOn of
which he is earnestly working.
Some of these plans will shortly be

IN A HIGH STATE OF EFFICIENCY.
The Animal Transport Service of the
Army.

The army transportation department Is
very much gratified at the success of it's
plans for the supply of horses and mules
to the army in the Philippines. The trans
portation of animals over long stretches of
water has always been a serious problem.
and was fnaugurated with the greatest ap-
prehension during the insurrection in the
Philippines There was a great demand for
cavalry horses and draft and pack mules in
the field. and the earliest attempts to meet
that demand We're attended with many ia
taltles. This was mainly due to the con-
fined quarters and lack of proper ventia-
tfon on the long voyage across the Pacific
In order TO meet these conditions trans
ports were fitted up specially for the SER
vice with every modern appliance for the
comfort and protection of the animals The
principal improvement introduced however
was in the matter of perfect ventilation of
the quarters of the animals in the lower
portions of the ship. The result has been
that animals are now transporte ed from the
Pacific coast to the Philippines in compara-
tive safety. In order to exercise the ami
mails and give them relief from the cramped
quarters on shipboard short stops were
made whenever possible, at Hilo. Hawaii,
but recently no landings have been made
at that point because of the fear of bubonic
plague
kilograms were received at the War De-
partment today announcing the arrival of
the animal transport Lenox at Manila and
the animal transport Port Stephens at Hilo.
The LenoX carried 451 horses and mules and
lost but one of the number on the VOYAGE
The vessel made a stop at Hilo, but did not
land the animals. Up to the time of the ar
rival OF the Port Stephens at Hilo there
had been no losses whatever in their cargo
and it is expected that she may equal the
record of the Lenox during the Remainder
or her trip to Manila.

OLD CORCORAN GALLERY.
Senator Pettigrew Objects to COnsid-
erinS It's Purchase.

An effort was made in the Senate this
afternoon to pass Senate bill 2610 to au-
tkorize the purchase of the property of the
former Corcoran Art Gallery building, To-
Gated at the corner of Pennsylvania ave
Iue and 18th street. This bill provides for
paying $332, 500 for the purchase of the art
gallery property, which is to be used by the
Court of Claims and for other purposes.
Mr.. Warren, who had reported the bill
favorably from the committee on public
buildings and grounds, called it up.
Mr.. Pettigrew said that he was opposed
to having the government buy detached
pieces of property here and there all over
the city and favored a general plan for the
construction of public buildings along the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue He
said that he hoped to see the avenue beau
titled in this manner and referred to the
post office building as barn and as un-
worthy the government. He hoped to see
public buildings erected with parking about
them so that they might be INTELLECTUALLY
worthy of the city.
Mr.. Warren said that he agreed with
what Mr.. Pettigrew said, but in the case
of the Corcoran Art Gallery property there
was necessity for prompt action, and he
thought this was an exceptional case.
Mr.. Pettfgrew objected to the considera-
ton of the bill, and it went over.

Members of Chicago Ambulance Corps
Become Com baianfS.

United States Consul Hay at Pretoria has
notified the State Department by cable of
the reported action of the members of the
Chicago ambulance corps in taking up
arms in the Boer army, instead of continu-
ing with the hospital corps, to which they
had pledged themselves upon leaving the
United States.
Apparently the Portuguese authorities at
Lorenzo Marquez had doubts as to the
actual neutrality of these men, for the
party was detained many days at the port
before they were allowed TO proceed over
the railroad to- Pretoria. The dispatches
stated that a letter from Miss Barton turn
ed the tide in their favor. Miss Barton
members of the party were known TO her
and believed TO be going under true colors
The officials here say that nothing can
be done by the government to prevent such
violations Of good faith as are reported
from South Africa. The men did not go
out with arms and so did not fulfill the
legal description of a flibustering party
which would have enabled the United
states authorities to have prevented their
departure Similarly, the Portuguese au-
thoritie5 probably found themselves obliged
TO let the unknown men pass through
Lorenzo Marquee and ii would appear that
unless the British government can induce
the Portuguese to take different view of
their obligations Portuguese South Africa
will remain an open doorway for recruits
entering the Transvaal.

LOUISIANA PURCHASE CENTENNIAL.
Coming Hearing the st. Louis
Worlds Fair Bill.

The first hearing on the St Louis world $
fair bill before the special House commit
tee. of which Mr.. Tawncy of Minnesota is
the chairman, will be held Friday, April u.
This date was set by the committee, after
consultation with ex-Gov. d. R. Francis,
the chairman of the worlds fair executive
committee, and Representative Joy of ST.
Louis. who is member of the special
committee appointed by Speaker Hender-
son.
The hearing would have taken place to-
day but for the fact that Mr.. Francis
and other gentlemen prominently connected
with the worlds fair movement desired 10
attend the meeting of the trans-Mississippt
congress, which begins its sessions at Hous-
ton. Tex, today. EX-Gov. E. o. Stanard
OF Missouri who has been mentioned in
connection with the republican vice presi-
Dental nomination. is the president of the
trans-Mississippi congress. 1t Is expected
that the congress will adopt strong resolu-
tions in favor of the celebration of the
centennial of the Louisiana purchase by the
holding of worlds fair in ST. Louis, and
will send delegation to Washington to at
tend the hearing before the special commit
tee next Friday.
The delegation which will come to Wash
inSton to urge favorable action upon the
worlds fair bill will be Of an unusual char
acter. 1t is expected that it will include all
of the governors of the states included
within the limits of the Louisiana purchase
There will also be two Representatives from
each state, chosen from the executive COM
mittee appointed by the Louisiana purchase
centennial convention, which, met in ST.
Louis to decide upon the manner in which
the centennial anniversary of the purchase
should be celebrated Ex-Gov. Francis as
chairman of the executive committee, will
make the principal address to the commit
tee.
The special committee for the considera-
ton of the worlds fair bill consists of
Messrs. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman;
Steele, Indiana; Sherman, New York; Cor
liss Michigan: Burke. South Dakota; Joy,
Missouri; Williams, Mississippi; Bartlett,
Georgia, and Otey of Virginia. The fact
that in appointing special committee the
Speaker appointed but three members of It
from states IN the purchase indicates that
he recognizes the movement for the cele-
bration of the Louisiana purchase as ma
uonal and not as sectional.
While here the worlds fair delegation will
also appear before the Senate committee on
eXpostions, of which Senator Dcpew of
New York is the chairman.

MIR. JOHNSON's RESIGNATION.
1t fs Expected at the Treasury De
partment Soon,

The resignation of Claude NJ. johnson
director of the bureau Of engraving and
printing, Is expected at the Treasury De-
partment at any time now. This result has
been looked for by treasury officials and
others interested for some time and is the
outcome of the fight which various interests
have waged on Mr.. johnson for two or
three years. The resignation, however will
be due to a number of causes not heretofore
stated and not directly to the latest charges
filed at the White House against Mr.. john
son by President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor. President Gompers
alleged discrimination against labor inter-
eSts. These charges Were sent to the Treas
ury where they have been under investiga-
ton for several months by a committee
consisting of Assistant Secretary Wander
lip, Treasurer Roberts and Solicitor O'Con-
nell.
1t is pretty well understood that the COM
mittee will make no report as to their in
vestigations. and that the entire matter will
culminate in the resignation Of Mr. John
son.
A fight has been made on Mr. johnson
since the republican party came into power
but he has up to this time resisted efforts
to secure his resignation. The labSs fight
began when machines were introduced in
the bureau in place of hand presses The
resignation of Mr.. johnson Is not due as
already stated, to the labor fight, and comes
about through the investigation which was
recently completed and to causes to be
Hereafter announced.

MAKING A PROGRAM,
Work Continued Preparatory to the
Pan American ConEreSs.

Pan-American Congress.
The executive committee of the bureau Of
American republics met today for the pur-
pose of carrying out the direction of the
recent conference of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the American republics rela-
tive to the formation of program for the
projected Pan-American congress to be
held in the City of Mexico 1t is expected
that the committee will occupy a week s
time in the preparation of this program,
which must receive careful study in order
to insure its acceptance by each and every
enc of the American republics.
Though the committee is intent upon ex-
cluding from The program every subject
which may cause friction or disagreement,
1t is believed to be still possible to bring be-
fore the congress several projects of the
greatest international Importance 1t is
also intended to supply an omission by the
first Pan-American congress by providing
the machinery for the easy reassembling of
the congress whenever there shall be a ne
cessity for joint action on the part of the
American republics. AS considerable cor
respondence is expected to precede the ac-
ceptance of the program by all of the gov
ernments of this hemisphere it is regarded
as improbable that the congress can be
brought together before late date next
winter.

Thousands of Japanese Are Coming
to This Country.

TACOMA, Wash, April 19.-The present
Importation of Japanese to Puget sound
thousands more of the subjects of the mi
kado are now afioat headed this way. Dur
ing the month of April $500 japanese
have been landed in Puget sound ports and
British Columbia, and of the men landed
in the latter ports fully two-thirds find
their way across the border.
The reason for the present rush is that
the japanese are leaving their native land
in consequence of the reported imminence
of war between Japan and Russia. and
that the closing of the gates of Hawaii
has diverted the stream of Japanese this
way. The rush will end. II is thought, as
suddenly as it began within the next few
days when the demand for men in the cam
neries and the railroads is satisfied.
