NO MORE SHIFTING OF CREWS.
The Illinois to BE Commissioned
With Full Term Enlisted Men.

1t is expected that the battleship I'LL
nois will go into commission about Sep
TENDER 10. At the present time there
are only fifty-seven vacancies in her
complement of 1872 men. No men are to
be detailed to this vessel who have not
fully three years to serve, and it is the
intention of the Bureau of Navigation to
revert to the old practice of putting ships
in commission with officers and crew who
have three years to serve and endeavor-
ing to retain the complement intact dur
ing that period.
The practice. which was necessarily
brought about during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. of frequently transferring men
and officers from one ship to another, has
worked much to the detriment of the
efficiency of vessels 1t Is expected that
the complement will be filled by Septem-
Der l, and no petty officers for service
aboard her will be enlisted after that date
From the latest reports, the Prairie and
the Olympia will be ready for commits
sioning in October. Orders have been is
sued by the Bureau OF Navigation to as
semble their crews on board the Wabash

SECRETARY HAYS RETURN.
No Especial Business Called Him
Here From Newbury. n. H.

Secretary Hay. who has been spending
the summer at Newbury, N. H.. returned
to Washington yesterday and was at his
office in the State Department for the
greater part of the day. There was no
special business which called him here
at this time. as all affairs of the State
Department were being well cared for by
Acting Secretary Adee.
No Significance is attached, therefore,
to Mr.. Hays return. He has been kept
thoroughly posted with the progress of
affairs of the Department of State during
his absence. His family Is still at his
summer home. Secretary Hay expects to
remain here the greater part of next week
and will then probably return to New
bury to remain for several weeks longer.
He will be here next week to receive a
committee of ten citizens of st. Louis who
are coming here to meet him upon mat
tiers pertaining to the forthcoming Lou
isiana Purchase Exposition.
