WORK RESUMED TO-DAY.
Cutting Rigging from the Twisted
 Mast of the Constitution.

MaSt O1 the AG0SIdIuIlDQ.s
 Bristol, R. l., June G.-The cutting of the rigging from the twisted mast fittings of the Constitution was re- sumed early this morning on the Herreshoff pier. Half a dozen men, all that could work at one time, were engaged on the job The mast will be free of all it's tangle by tonight, as the men are being rushed at top speed, under the direct supervision of Cap tain Nat Herreshoff.
 While the cutting of the rigging is going on, a number of new plates are being bent into semi-circular shape and angle bars for the spices are being cut the desired length.
 When the new sections of angle frames are inserted in place of the ones that are now being removed plating will begin, but it is probable that no rivets will be headed before next week
 The spar. makers to-day began lay ing out the stick of pine from which a new topmast will be shaped.
 The work fof refitting the Constitu, ton has enabled Captain Rhodes to give nearly all of the crew a vacation. About thirty-five of the sailors left this morning to visit their homes in Deer Isle, Me, and in Long Island. Liberty was granted them until the first of next week. Some of the other men will leave this afternoon. It is understood that some of the Long Island men may not return to the Con- stitution again. There are only seven or eight seamen remaining on board the yacht at present-just enough to keep ship. They are engaged in pant ing and vanishing, as there is little else for them to do.

Chauncey Depew Says There is Noth-
 ing in the Way to Prevent It.
 New York, June GA special to the Tribune from Chicago says:
 Senator Chauncey N. Depew is in Chicago on short business trip. He gave out at the Auditorium hotel what he said was his first interview on the subject of q third term for William Mckinley as president of the United States. He favored the plan.
 There is absolutely nothing in the way of third term for President Me Kinley, in my opinion said Senator Depew. "The country has been phe- nomenally prosperous under his ad- ministration. Universal confidence is reposed in him, and there is a vast na- tional pride in the results of his work
 .The third term is not a bogie, and there were entirely outside circum- stances in the cases of Washington, Grant and Benjamin Harrison that prevented precedent being set for the nomination and election and a presi- dent of the United States for the third term. had no idea that what said about a third term at a banquet in Washington recently would leak out but it did have steadfastly refused to discuss the matter, however, until tonight
