In the course OF a brief address accept
ing the building presented by Miss Gould
as naval home for the Y. NJ. c. A, at
Brooklyn, Secretary OF the Navy Moody
said he could not agree with those good
people who say the navy provokes war.
THE navy" he said, lis the greatest peace
maker that can exist. and hope il will be
made so large that there will never be
another war for fear of it's power. The loss
OF one of our large ports for one single day
would cost more than fifty years OF ship
building" This shows that the new secre-
tary OF the navy is in full sympathy with
the policy Of strengthening it. In fact. he
said in this address that the near future
would see the ordering of more ships and
the enlisting of more men.

1t appears that Tammany raised 800. 900
for the last municipal campaign. Of which
10000 was expended for campaign uses and
100000 for other purposes. No one has yet
been able TO find what became of the re-
naming 10000 which was collected and
not accounted for. The failure TO find the
missing 10000 was one Of the causes OF
Mr.. Nixons resignation as leader.

DISTRICT MEASURES
FIRST ON THE CALENDAR
TROUBLE FOR Mr.. WARE.
Renewal of Pension Claims Worrying the
Republican Congressman.

The appointment by President Roose-
welt OF a new Commissioner OF Pensions
has created much CONSERVATION among
Republican members of the House who
live in close districts They are appre-
heusive the change will cost the party
several Representatives in the next Con-
gress.
The reason for this anxiety is that for
five years Commissioner Evans has re-
jected thousands of applications for pen
sions or increase of those already drawn.
The uniformity of his rulings has stopped
applications. Old soldiers arrived at the
conclusion Evans would do nothing for
them, and they let the matter rest with
out agitation.
With the new Commissioner there will
be deluge OF applications. All those re-
jected during the Evans administration
will be renewed. and large proportion
of those now receiving pensions will ap-
ply for an increased rating The Presi-
dent has announced there will Re no
change in pension methods. This means
by the time the fall elections are reached
thousands OF soldiers will become reas-
onably convinced that the new Commits
sioner viii do nothing more for them than
did the old one.
In this way the dissatisfaction now ex-
listing will be aggravated and intensified
In the meantime every Republican mem
Der OF the House will have been urged
to exert his influence with the new Com
missioner and will receive more than his
share of blame for the failure OF the
applicant TO obtain that Tor which nc has
asked.

Representative Mickey of Illinois is

CLASH LIKELY OYER
iowa FEDERAL PLUHS
CollectofSof Internal Revenue
Believed to Be Bugbear.
President and Congressional Delegation
Said to Be at Odds Over Ger
tain Selections.

President Roosevelt's desire that col
lectors OF internal revenue who have
made good records be retained in office
regardless Of the desire OF the regular
party organizations may cause a change
of the patronage slate in a number Of
States where Federal appointments are
about to be doled ont
There are a dozen or more collectors
Of internal revenue in the United States
who have made exceptionally good rec
ords. and inasmuch as the position is
one into which inefiiciency and frequently
corruption can creep with little trouble
the President has decided that most of
those men shall be retained in their po-
sitons whether or not the party organiza-
tion in their States desires a change.
Well up in the list are Messrs. Patter-
son and Kimball, collectors, respectively,
for the Northern and Southern districts
of Iowa. They stand fourth and fifth in
the entire list in point of efficiency
The Iowa delegation in Congress will
hold a patronage caucus the latter part
of this week for the purpose OF definitely
making up the slate for the dispersal ton
of the Federal Offices in that State. AS
far as that is concerned the slate is al
ready formed and has been approved by
Senator Allison, the head of the dele
CATION.
Want Both Men Dropped.
For reasons of political expediency it
has been deemed advisable to drop both
Mr.. Kimball and Mr. Patterson. The
daIapation &c favorable ~ recopman5;r,
Mr. A. T. Sammis. Of Lemars, for col
lector in the Northern district, and Mr.
Harry Weaver. who long rendered ex-
cellent service to the Republican party
as chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, for the same place in the South
eTn district. These are the only changes
in the list of Federal officeholders in the
Hawkeye State. All the others are to be
recommended for reappontment
This action precipitates rather an in
teresting complication. Senator Allison
having once decided upon a course of ac-
ton IS not likely to abandon it. and the
Presidents adherence to the idea of re-
warding meritorious service is also
strong.
The result may be that the Iowa dele
CATION, which is without question the
strongest State delegation in Congress.
and which is remarkably harmonious, will
make protest against the Presidents
ideas on the subject.
The disposition of the Offices was prac-
tically decided upon during the McKin-
ley Administration, but the recommends
tions were by common consent deferred
until the present session of Congress. 1t
was then definitely decided that Mr.. Wea-
yer should be rewarded for his long and
faithful service for the party by being
given the collectOrship The Representa-
tives who assured him of this are in-
clined to stand stoutly by their promise.
