A Number of Callers Received by the

President Roosevelt received a call today
from a delegation of G.. A. R. members
from North Dakota, accompanied by ladies.
The delegation was headed by J. {. Gipson.
department commander of the G. A. r. Of
North Dakota. The delegation merely call
ed to pay their respects, but there was
feature of the call that was of interest.
One of the members had basket OF In.
mense Irish potatoes with him and pre-
sented these to the President a sample
of what is done in North Dakota. The
potatoes were of immense size, and tho
President had never before seen such large
ones.
The President received a number of call

officials of prominence in the number. The
President still remains in his room on the
second floor at the temporary Executive
Mansion and does not attempt to move
about. He is taking the advice of his ply
sicians and giving the wounded leg every
opportunity to get thoroughly well before
he begins to use 1t to any extent.
While President Roosevelt was unable to
go to Oyster Bay to register his vote for
the November election, he will go to vote.

A GRAVE PROBLEM
QUESTION BEFORE THE NAVAL
BOARD OF CONSTRUCTION.
Differences Of Opinion Regarding
Whether Speed Shall Be Sac
rifced for Power.

The board Of construction of the Navy
Department has reached what may be re-
garded as a critical point in the develop
ment Of the American navy. For many
days past the board has been struggling
with the grave problem presented by the
necessity of so designing the armored cruis-
ers authorized by the last Congress as to
combine the greatest offensive and defen
sive qualities with the highest speed. AS
Is usual in the preparation of designs, diff
ferences Of opinion early developed among
the members Of the board, for, as was but
natural, the ordnance department wished
to clad the vessel in the heaviest armor
and place on her the biggest guns, while
the engineers wished to give high speed
which means much engine and boiler space
and the equipment division wanted much
room for the numerous crew which such a
vessel must carry and for the complex
equipment which modern ships must have
These differences of opinion have in this
case become much more pronounced than
ever before. and there have been some very
lively scenes in the board meetings re-
Gently. Gradually the issues have been
sifted down and adjusted tentatively, save
the very important one of weight to be al
lowed for motive power, which means
speed. The act of Congress contemplated
a cruiser Of 800 tons displacement. and
Chief Constructor Bowles, for the first time
in the history of the department. almost in
sisted that this limit should not be ex-
ceeded by a single ton. This would have
been small consideration, except that his
attitude also restricted the speed Of the
proposed Ship
Engineer-in-chfefM Melville has pronounced
views on that subject. and he insisted that
the new cruisers should not take the wash
Of anything afloat. He demanded that
they be able to overtake. and, If need be.
escape from any battle ship or cruiser Of
any other navy, holding that this reserve
power of speed. as in the case of the Ore
gon at Santiago, might often turn the tide
Of battle. He had secured the plans Of the
British armored cruiser Drake, which has
Just made the splendid speed record of
twenty-four knots, and he pointed out that
she had much more liberal allowance for
engine width than was proposed to be
given the Tennessee, which is the cruiser
now being planned.
The board seems to be fairly divided on
this question. and although further ses-
sions will be held. 1t is probable that Sec
retary Moody will be called upon to de-
eide the issue as to whether speed shall be
sacrificed to power and size limitation.

SALE OF SUBSISTENCE STORES.
Customs Duty Will Have to Be Added
to the Price.

A copy of an order issued by General
Chaffee commanding the division of the
Philippines has been received at the War
Department which contains a regulation
relating to the sale of subsistence stores
which are not needed by the army. The
matter was first referred to the War De-
partment and 1t was decided that under the
tariff act for the Philippine Islands the con-
ditional free Importation of supplies for the
use Of the army does not extend to such
supplies when they are offered for sale
Owing to the reduction of the military force
in the Philippines large quantities of SUBJ
sistence supplies have accumulated at va
rious points throughout the islands These
supplies were sent at time when It was
expected that all the troops were to remain
in the Islands for an indefinite period and
the general lack Of inland transportation
facilities made 1t necessary for large sup
plies to be ordered In advance. These sun
plies were imported duty free. but now that
they are to be sold a duty Is to be levied
In order that they may not enter into com.

MAY BLOCK THE DEAL
PROPOSED CESSION OF THE DAN
IsH WEST INDIES.
Parties in the Rigsdag Are Quite
Evenly Balanced-United States.
Willing to Wait.

Advices received here, while not fully con-
frming the private report circulated in the
Danish West Indies to the effect that the
chances are against the acceptance by the
Danish rigsdag of the treaty Of cession to
the United States. make it appear that the
fate Of the pending treaty Is really very
uncertain. 1t Is said that so narrow is the
line OF division between the parties in the
riesdag that the approval Of the treaty prac-
tically depends upon the state of health Of
one or two members, and it is intmated
that II the measure is to succeed at this
session the government must press it to
vote before one Of the convalescents is
able to return to his legislative duties and
cast an adverse vote.
Nevertheless, even should the movement
toward cession fail at this meeting of the
rigsdag, 1t is not doubted that in the very
near future the islands must become the
property of the United States. 1t cannot
be too clearly stated, however, that the
slightest idea of using compulson to this
end, being we'll satisfied that the people of
Denmark will eventually be moved by pure
ly economic considerations to dispose of the
stated in the rigsdag. that at present the
Islands are not self-supporting, and the
Danish government, If 1T decides to retain
possession, is confronted with the neces-
sity Of paying money out OF the national
treasury to help the islanders to sustain
their local government. 1t is realized that
in the event Of cession to the United States
this state of affairs. to deficiency in
revenues, would probably continue for some
time. necessitating the extension of some
measures of support by the United States
government until such time as the islands
develop to the point of paying their way.
Much is expected Of free trade between
the Islands and the United States in the
development of the insular Industries, but
on the other hand, the very increase of
trade with the United States would, under
free trade, deprive the island treasury of the
revenues row collected on imports from the
United States. and compensation must be
sought from some other direction.

port speaks generally favorably Of the ar
rangements Of the department and Of the

Dealing with the case of Captain Smith,
who was attached to the purchasing COM
mission at New Orleans, the report finds
that Captain Smith received a commission
on every animal he purchased. that many
Of the mules bought by him were absolute
ly unfit and useless and that he was guilty
of malpractice and brought the greatest
discredit upon the department.
The report also finds that Captain r. r.
Mandslay and Veterinary Surgeon Hawes
behaved with extreme impropriety in pur-
chasing for their own use and shipping to
England horses brought up for inspection
as remounts and which actually had been
branded The report says, regarding Amer

Col. Allen, the officer in charge Of the i'm

arrangements to begin the field work for
the survey of the Anacostia river fats from
the mouth of the river to the boundary line
of the District. Congress, at its last ses-

Col. Allen has also arranged for the exc
cution Of the congressional provision for
the dredging Of the Anacostia river between
It's mouth and the navy yard bridge The
approved project provides for a channel 20
feet deep and from 800 to 400 feet wide
from the mouth of the river to the upper
limits of the navy yard. The excavated
material is to be deposited on the Anacostia
fats and protected with rip-raps. Bulkhead
lines are now being laid out.
