lBY TELEGRAPH To TEIBUNE.l
Washington. Oct. u-Some important changes
In the Federal offices OF Arizona Territory have
been decided by President Roosevelt CHIEF
Justice Webster Street OF the Territorial Supreme
Court, will be succeeded by j. NJ Jameson for
merly of Michigan. and Of the leading
lawyers of Arizona. Judge Streets does not
expire until March. but 1t is regarded as pos
sible that he may resign at early date. But even
IL he should hold on to the office the end of hts
term, the Presidents determination appoint Mr.
Jameson would not be shaken. Mr.. Jameson called
on the President a few days ago In the interest
of another lawyer In Arizona. who is seeking the
place now held by Judge Street. but the Presi-
dent was so favorably impressed with his visitor
that after thinking ii carefully he decided
tender the office him.
The Presidents attention having been drawn to
Arizona politics, he caused inquiry TO be made as
to when there would be vacancy in the Terri
toria Governorship When he learned that Gov
ernor Murphy has another year to serve the PreSi-
dent expressed the intention to appoint Colonel
Brodie to the place as as a vacancy occurs
the latter having succeeded the president lieu
tenant colonel of the Rough Riders when the Pres
ident was made colonel by the promotion of Colo
mel Leonard Wood to a brigadier- -generalship. 1t
IS intimated that possibly Governor Murphy, like
Judge Street, may resign before the expiration of
his term In order to resume the practice of law
to accept some other office that is
munerative. In this event President Roosevelt's
old Rough Rider comrade will become Governor
of Arizona in few months.

CANNOT NAN 1HE SHIPS.
ADMIRAL CROWNINSHIELD GIVES SOME
STARTLING FIGURES OF THE
NAyY'S WEAKNESS IN OF
FICERS AND MEN.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE annual report OF
Rear Admiral Crowninshield. Chief Of the Bu-
reau of Navigation in the Navy Department.
was made public to-day. The most importanr
feature is that of personnel. Admiral Crownin-
shield has already given warning 70 Congress OF
the absolutely imperative need of the navy for
more officers and men. Now he adds some start
ing figures TO support his renewed recommen-
dations He says that If the department were
called upon to man the ships for war service IL
could not meet the demand. There are not
enough line officers 10 man the ships already
constructed.
When in three years the vessels now under
construction shall have been completed. the
few auxiliary vessels would be no less than
thousand. and the problem presented is how
these officers can be secured in the short time
remaining. At present the line OF the navy
under the personnel act and as fed from An
napolis is increasing only at the rate OF ten
year in number Cforty officers being retired
arbitrarily each year,. which would make thirty
for the three years. According 70 Admiral
CrowninshieId the only remedy is TO increase
the number of cadets at the Naval Academy to
not less than eight hundred. IL Is recommended
shall be allowed at the academy two naval
cadets for every Representatives or DELEGATE, two
for each Senator, one for the District of Courn-
bia, and ten at large annually, and that the
course be limited to four years.
Another striking recommendation OF Admiral
Crowninshield under the head OF personnel IS
that four vice-admirals be created reducing the
number of rear admirals TO fourteen, II neces-'
sary II is said that the United states often
has been placed In a humiliating position on i'm
portant occasions abroad by reason or the low
rank of it's naval representatives.
The report makes earnest recommendations
for the creation Of a national naval reserve

FOUGHT THE SILENT BATTLE.
Yellow-Jack's Campaign Against the 9oth
N. "a Good War Record.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Our paper
speaks of many regiments and their con-
tests in the field, but / fail to hear or see
anything in relation to the old Goth n. Y.
If in order some of the veteran members
of that gallant little command would like
the people to know such a body of men ex
isted and was sworn in the service Novem-
Der, 1861; mustered out, February. 1866.
The regiment left Brooklyn, Dec. II, 1861,
S67 strong; sailed for Key West, Jan. 8,
1862; arrived, Jan i. 1862. Before one
year passed 140 members died from yellow
fever and other incidental causes. 1t were
better to fight the enemy than to fight
Yellow Jack. This regiment fought the
only silent battle of the civil war. There
were no reinfOrcementS, no rest, no recalls,
but fighting until 40 of the gallant COM
rades fell, some of these being OF the best
blood in Brooklyn. This began July %,
1862, and continued until November of the
same year. Those brave fellows are buried
in graves composed of coral rock, about
four and a half feet deep, and the collins
were laid in water, where graves were dug
deeper. No monument marks their last
battle, although application has been made
to the State Legislature which that regi-
ment represented, and has for some reason
fallen unnoticed, as did the members of
that command.
The men went where they were sent,
Loyalty and fearlessly. Retreat was not
written on their banners; all instructions
were cheerfully obeyed, whether sent on a
mission of destruction or on q peaceful
parade, the obedience of orders were just
the same under that careful and practical
instructor and engineer, Joseph ). Nor
gan, whose command sent it on whirl-
wind OF destruction or an errand of mercy.
One word, and the regiment was at rest.
As a drillmaster no troops had better; as
a soldier no one took more pride to bring
the regiment to high plane. The regi-
ment was often complimented by Regular
officers for the high attainments to which
it had arrived through the very thorough
instructions received from its commanding
officer
In action at Franklin, Port Hudson,
DOnaIdsonville La; at Winchester, Fish
er's Hill, Cedar Greek, the regiment lost
heavily. Still, it is not classed as fight
ing regiment. What was it sent out for?
Why was it recruited? Such might be said
in volumes in regard to non-fighting regi-
ments Mr.. Fox has made a mistake which
it is now too late to correct However let
flag of truce fall over this little digres-
sion from the real subject. And to the
honor of that regiment that fought the
only silent battle of the war, let there be
raised an imperishable monument to the
members of that command who are now
sleeping their last sleep amid the coral
rocks. comprising the then lonely island
of Key West. We are all non-fighting
men now, but would ask n tribute from
State or United States to the memory of
those that fought the silent battle.-HIS-

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

At the last session of Congress the
Navy Department succeeded in having re-
pealed the law passed 55 years ago for
the classification of war vessels, and new
statute passed allowing the President to
make new rules. According to the old
law vessels of the Navy of the United
States were divided into four classes and
commanded nearly as possible as fol-
lows:
First rates, by Commodorcs; second
rates by Captains: third rates by Com
manders; fourth rates by Lieuteuant-C Com
manders.
1t was also provided that steamships
of 40 guns or more should be classed as
first rates, those of 20 guns and under
40 as second rates, and all those of less
than 40 guns as third or fourth rates.
\ board of prominent naval officers will
be appointed TO formulate new rules IN
which the basis will be probably tonnage,
with notifications as to men and guns.
4 charming little scene took place in the
White House last week. Comrade .. Ill.
Hanson, who is now prosperous farmer
of Washington, Kan, owning some l,ZSO
acres of land, and raising about 3,oOO
bushels of corn Il year, was one OF the
solid, everyday soldiers of the 22d Ohio
and wore out an incalculable amount of
shoe leather and Gods patience on the
rough mountains of West Virginia, never
missing a ration when he could help it,
nor a fight, whether he could help it or
not. He has son, who is a chip of the
old block, who went into the Spanish war
as Il private in the 1st n. D., and is now
wearing the well-won straps of a First
Lieutenant in the Regular Army. Com
rade Hanson, accompanied by Senator
Burton and Representative Calderhead,
went up TO see the President last week.
When Judge Calderhead informed the
President that he had brought one of his
old comrades to see him, Maj. Mckinley
looked over Comrade Hanson for a minute
and tried to place him.
Il belonged TO Co. ID, of which you
were Second Lieutenant, until promoted,
Mr.. President" said Comradc Hanson, as
sisting him.
"Oh, yes, l know you now," said the
President. Come over here and sit
down.
They were at once immersed in gossip
about the old boys, and after awhile the
President turned to Burton and Calder
head and remarked: Il suppose you gen
tlemen would like to have the comrade
have something"
They intimated that that would be far
from d;sagreeable to them.
The President rang his bell and asked
his Secretary if a certain Kansas ap-
pointee had resigned.
Not yet; but he is ready to-" was the
answer.
Tell him to resign at once, and you
make out the appointment of this gentle
mau to his place" said the President.
And so Comrade Hanson is Land Ap-
praiscr. with salary OF 81 400 year, and
S.t a day for fra Tpljnp ayDenScS
Maj. NJ. W. Lang, a bright, capable
man, of Wellington, o., who served as
private in the 150th Ohio, in the war of
the rebellion, was appointed Paymaster
of Volunteers, in the Spanish War, and
was in the city last week, in connection
with some of that business.
