vor the provision, because they be-
lievc il is blow at the trust which
now constructs our naval vessels.
Senators Hanna and Nc MILAN, who
are stockholders in the trust, are
bitterly opposed to it. Senator Hale,
Chairman Of the Senate Committee
on Naval Affairs, will oppose the
provision on economic grounds, as
he does not believe the fund above
mentioned would prove nearly adc-
quate TO install the necessary ma
chinery, etc.
The appointment OF Henry Clay
Evans to the Consul Gcneralship at
London, is matter Of keen regret
to the Republicans, although they
say that they will not oppose his
confirmation. Senator Burton said
yesterday that he did not believe
Mr.. Evans deserved this recognition
and that, irrespective of the facts,
he believed it to be a mistake for
the Republicans to honor a man
who had incurred, whether Justly or
unjustly, the universal condemna-
ton of the soldiers. On the other
hand, he said he appreciated that
there were many people who be-
lieved that Mr.. Evans had been
sacrificed to popular clamor, and
that his entire removal from public
service would be misconstructed by
many good men. Considering the
fact that the President has given
Mr.. Evans former place to Kan
sas soldier, Senator Burton will pre-
sent no opposition to Evans con-
firmation. The Senator apparently
fails to realize that practically any
man who fills the position of PEN
sion commissioner and administers
the Office with absolute rcctitude,
will incur more or less enmity, and
particularly from the pension at
torneys.
! I /
am credltably informed that
Lieutenant Commander Templin M.
Potts is to be sent to Europe as
United States Naval Attache at
Berlin, Rome and Vienna, one of
the sinecures of the Navy Depart
ment. 1t will be remembered that
Potts was most prominent in the
Schley trial and in his efforts to
convict the Admiral, to which fact
he doubtless owes this appointment.

There is reason to believe that
the Naval Appropriation bill, which
will be considered in the House.
probably Immediately after the pas.
sage OF the Territorial bill, will pre.
cipitate a pretty fight. The meas
ure as reported contains a provision
that one or more of the new sbips
to be constructed shall be built un-
der the supervision Of the Secretary
of the Navy in one of the govern.
ment navy yards, and il is this pro-
vision which will occasion wide
difference Of opinion in both the
House and the Senate. It is gen
orally supposed that the provision
will pass the House, because il is
warmly espoused by the labor or
CARNATIONS who believe that they
would profit were the government
to build its own ships. In the Sen
ate, however, it will meet with more
vigorous opposition. Senator Per-
kins Of California, is championine
It because he believes the Secretary

the construction Of ship at that
point, but the Investment Of sI7s, /.
900, carried by the bill, for the es-
Establishment Of the necessary plant.

AMERICAN VESSEL STOPPED.
The Gunboat Marietta to Investigate
Reported Interference.

The Navy Department has taken steps to
investigate the reported interference with
American shipping in Venezuelan waters
which is said to have resulted from the re-
cent blockade declared by President Castro
upon number of ports in the republic The
Navy Department has been informed that
Commander Rodgers left La Guaira yester-
day with the gunboat Marietta for the
mouth of the Orinoco river, and will stop
on the way at Cumana, Carupano and Trim
idad
For some time the Orinoco Shipping Trad
ing Company has been endeavoring to have
warship sent down to the Ornoco, where
the company represented, its interests were
menaced by the blockade. This company
operates under a charter granted by the
Venezuelan government. One of their ves-
sells tried to ascend the river after the
blockade had been declared, and was stop
ped at Ciudad Bolivar relieved of her cargo,
happening. and having in mind the Nor
wegian vessel which attempted the same
move, and was fired upon with mortal in
jury to some Of her crew, the trading COM
pany sent no more ships steaming up the
great river.
The work laid out for the Marietta will
be apt to keep her busy for four or five
days or more, and meantime the gunboat
Ranger at Panama will be the only senti-
mel on the isthmus, the Machias having
been ordered to sail at once from Colon for
Cape Haitien.

HERoIsM OF THE HOSPITAL.
Soldiers Bravely Face Death From
ASiatic Cholera

The epidemic of cholera has been particu-
larly hard upon the medical corps of the
army stationed in the Philippine Islands,
and the casualty lists received here show
that these surgeons themselves and the
hospital corps have borne their share of the
suffering. Surgeon General Forwcod has
which these casualties are announced as
follows:
1.-The death of Private Joseph c. NJ Else
man, Hospital Corps, United States army,
is announced. Private Eiseman was de-
tailed to face death as a choora nurse for
one of our comrades and died from the dis
ease, caught from his charge; an example
of devotion to duty to be held up for all
men to emulate.
Corps, United States army, was detailed to
nurse both of our comrades, with the
knowledge that his predecessor had been
cut down while performing the same duty.
Without murmur he responded and re-
mained till the sods covered his plague
stricken charges, and he now returns to
his routine duties.
The men of this command who have
faced death amid the whistle of bullets and
the excitement of a fight can readily ap-
preciate the courage required to daily
await his approach in the form of one of
the most dreaded diseases known to the
world today, and the commanding officer
makes this an opportunity to publicly ac-
knowledge that duty well done'-the high
est aim of a solder-is a goal Private Ste
yenson has reached.
This order will be published at parade
on Tuesday, the 9th instant and at gen.
eral inspection of the Hospital Corps on the
31st instant.
by order Of Captain O'Neil.
Douglas Donald, second lieutenant 9th
Infantry, adjutant."

OHIO FOR REPUBLICANS,
Representative Dick Says Seventeen
Representatives Will Be Elected.

Representative Dick of Ohio, chairman of
the republican state committee Of that
state. reached Washington this morning.
Since he left the city, after the adjourn
ment Of Congress, he has been taking a
preliminary survey of the political situa-
ton in his bailiwick.
1.-THE prospect is favorable for republican
success this fall" he said to Star re-
porter today. I'VE will elect seventeen
representatives in Congress, in my opinion.
Under conditions favorable to the demo-
Gratis in Ohio fifteen is our quota. think
we will have pretty lively campaign, as
the people are beginning to get warmed up
to the political situation.
Talking about the trusts? No, not par
ticularly. That question will not attract
more than usual interest, imagine. There
will be some talk OF the tariff, but Ohio has
prospered SO wonderfully under protective
tariff that 1t IS pretty difficult thing to
get our people interested in proposition
which savors at all Of free trade.
I'VE are to have an extra session Of the
legislature. to pass some laws relating to
municipal government. The meeting will
serve. think. to arouse interest in politics
a little earlier than usual. I do not think
there will be any probability of political
capital being made out Of the extra session
Of the legislature"

TO INSPECT ORDNANCE
ADDITIONAL DUTY FOR NAVAL
CONSTRUCTORS.
Experiment Will Be Tried at the Bath
Iron Works-Object to Release
Officers for Sea Duty.

The demand for naval officers for sea duty
has led Secretary Moody to inaugurate an
experiment at the Bath iron works, Maine,
which, if it results satisfactorily, will re-
lease about sixty ordnance and eQuipmen.
officers now detailed for duty in the inspec-
ton of ordnance and equipment at the vari-
Gus yards where warshps are building.
There are not enough officers to man the
ships in commission, and, although Con-
gress has provided for ninety-five additional
midshpmen at the Naval Academy the
rapid building of new ships promises to
exhaust this additional allowance as soon
as it is available, and the department was
confronted with the alternative of asking
for further increase from Congress or of
consolidating the work of officers on shore
duty and thus releasing the superhuous Of
ficers for duty at sea. The latter plan ap-
pealed to the Secretary as soon as he had
canvaSsed the situation after his induction
as the head of the Navy Department
In this idea he was supported by Rear
Admiral Taylor, the chief of the naviga-
ton bureau He proceeded to call upon all
officers on shore duty for a detailed report
of the duties they were performing and
a view to determining exactly what Off
GERS can be spared by consolidation and
what, if any, officers can be replaced by
civilians.
IranS1errence OF DuJ1eS.
The first discovery was that line officers
detailed for inspection duty at building
yards might have their duties transferred
to the naval constructors at the yards. AS
the latter officers never go to and their
duties require their attendance at the yards
for the constant inspection of construction
work it was believed that, perhaps, the ad-
ditional work of inspecting ordnance and
equipment could be thrown upon their
shoulders. In this view Admiral Bowes of
the construction bureau concurred. He
estimated that not over per cent add
tional work would be imposed upon the
naval constructors on that account. Nat
urally the ordnance and equipment bu-
reaus opposed the change.
Experiment to Be Tried.
The matter was finally settled by an
agreement to try the experiment at the
Bath iron works. Both the construction
and navigation bureaus are confident that
their judgments will be vindcated. If the
experiment is successful all ordnance and
equipment officers now on duty at building
yards, sixty in number, will be Withdrawn
and be available for sea duty
The plan proposed, it is pointed out, does
not involve any abridgement of the pre-
negatives of the ordnance and inspection
bureaus beyond the decrease of the per-
sOnnel under their immediate supervision,
the constructors in charge of inspection
work will report unOn ordnance and equip
ment matters directly to the heads of those
bureaus.

WILL BE GIVEN PASSPORTS.
Persons Owing Allegiance to United
States

In consequence Of the act passed at the
recent session of Congress. approved June
IA, amending the Revised Statutes so as to
permit of the issuance Of passports to
persons owing allegiance to the United
States. whether citizens OF not, the Secre-
tary of State has drawn up the rules under
which passports shall hereafter be granted.
and has submitted them to the President.
who has approved and signed them. Here
alter, therefore. passports will be issued
to loyal Filipinos, Porto Ricans, ETC., under
rules prescribed by the President, which
are about to be sent to Gov. Taft and to
other tnsular governors.
Since the war with Spain, under instruc-
tions of Secretary Hay, the diplomatic and
consular officers of the United States have
accorded to loyal residents of our insular
possessions the same protection of persons
and property as is accorded to native Amer
lean citizens, but this protection has, unfor-
tunately, heretofore precluded the issuance
of the passport, which, under the law,
was strictly confined to citizens of the
United States. The effect Of the new law
and Of the rules now going into effect will
be to extend to loyal residents of our in
sular possessions the same protection and
the same passport as citizens of the United
States now enjoy In their travels.

ALL FAT IN THE FIRE
DAVE BALLS ACTION AT THE
MISSOURI CONVENTION.
Democrats Wanted to Keep Silver in
the Background to Bring Back the
Gold Believers in the East.

That fellow, Dave Ball of Pike county,
has certainly spilled all the fat in the fire"
said a prominent Missouri democrat to a
Star reporter today. He referred to the ac-
ton of the Missouri democratic convention
in indorsng free silver at 16 to /.
1T was not on the cards, at all, to have
that Endorsement" the Missourian contin-
ued. THE leaders were in touch with the
eastern managers, who desired to have the
heaven-born ratio kept in the background.
as the democrats did in Georgia, in Illinois
and it was planned to do elsewhere
THE idea, of course, is to keep our long
haired democrats in the background so as
rot to scare away the silk-stocking gold
democrats of the east, who are talking
about coming back into the party, at least
to the extent of voting for our congress
sional nominees this fall Things were
looking up in that direction. Even the
great and good Cleveland, and here the
Missourian shifted his quid and inundated
a fly fifteen feet away, even CleVelanu
talks about coming back for the time being.
Who Dave Ball Is.
But along comes this here Dave Ball,
romping into the convention with a Pike
county war whoop, and rallies all the free
silver short-horns to a rousing declaration
for 16 to l. Who is this Dave Ball? Well,
he is a fellow we send out into the pack
counties to rally the faithful with ghost
stories about the nfamies of wealth, the
plutocracy of the east, the threatened
downfall of the republic, etc Why, he
would get the folks scared up until they
would be afraid to venture out after dark
lest they'd meet one of those monsters IN
the road That's the kind of man Dave
Rail- is. and | don't see how the boys let
him come charging into the convention and
carry things off.
..It NAV be fun for Dave, but L know
the managers in the east do not see any
thing funny in it, and l reckon they VIII
lust be calling on Governor Dockery for an
EXPLANATION as to how he came to overlook
that trick They were depending on Dock
cry to have the convention do things up
ship shape.
you see it was more important, In the
opinion of the eastern managers, to nave
Missouri take a conservative stand
than some other states. If Missouri had
been conservative they could have said to
the gold democrats of the east, See there,
now the most radical democratic state, the
birthplace of the Kansas City platform, is
going cautiously on silver, and you need
not be afraid to follow
But no; we can't expect any such luck,
l reckon. There must always be some fei-
low lurking around the tall grass. who viii

REMAINS LYING IN STATE.
Crowds Come to See Last of Cardinal
LedochowSki

ROME, July 23.-The remains Of Cardi
nal Ledochowski, who died here yesterday,
were laid in state this morning in the Chap
ellie Ardente of the Palace of the Propa-
ganda, where they were subsequently Wis
tied by all the members of the sacred col
lege. The close friends of the deceased and
his secretaries Fathers Vessia and Zalew-
ski, insisted on personally performing the
last offices and arranged the body for bur-
ial. The Chapelle Ardente is now open to
the public.
The Piazza di Spagna, where the Palace
of the Propaganda stands, is crowded with
people, including many American pilgrims,
eager to obtain admission. Letters and tel
egrams of regret are pouring in from all
quarters. The grief of Poland, Cardinal
Ledochowskis native country, amounts to
almost a national demonstration, the dead
cardinal having been persona non grata to
Russia and Germany on account of his ad-
vocacy of Polish independence.
