INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.
Commander Of the Fern Resents AL
legged Imputation.

A report will probably be submitted to
Gen. George II. Harries, commanding the
District militia regarding the alleged sur
prise of the naval battalion on it's cruise
down the river about two weeks ago. 1t
was reported at that time that Lieut.. Com
mander Hopkins, in company with his mill
tary secretary Ensign Howard Fiske and
another officer, went down the river in a
steam launch and boarded the Fern. 1t was
stated that the launch approached the Fern
without being hailed and those on board the
larger boat were taken by surprise.
The report to be submitted to Gen. Har-
rieS by the Ferns commanding officer it Is
understood. will be to the effect that as the
Fern was returning to the city from the
first cruise, two weeks ago, a launch was
observed coming toward the training ship.
The launch could not be made out very
distinctly from the decks, as she carried no
lights and appeared to be attempting to
Keep her character unknown. The officer of
the deck watched the launch for moment,
and when 1t was within about 200 yards of
the Fern hailed it without getting a reply.
The two vessels drew nearer and the officer
of the deck again hailed the approaching
launch with no better success. He then
went below to report to his commanding
officer.
At this time. it is stated, the whistle of
the launch was kept blowing continually.
The small vessel passed to the stern of the
Fern, and, turning, followed the larger boat
for a short distance before coming up with
her. While astern the launch was hailed
from the deck Of the Fern, but no answer
was received. The officer of the deck and
the commanding officer were below, prepar-
ing to come on deck and examine the
stranger, when Lieutenant Commander
Hopkins and his secretary came over the
side of the launch.
1t is said that Lieutenant L. P Clephane,
pVh n We hn nff IF tIa aol-o
desires that the matter shall be investi-
gated. as he regards the public statements
that the launch surprised the Fern refiec-
ton on the manner in which he performed
his duties.

UNDER A HUGE TENT
VETERANS IN COUNCIL TO BE
SHELTERED BY CANVASS.

The national encampmept of the Grand
Army of the Republic will be held in
monster tent at Camp Roosevelt. Washing
ton was once the storm center OF a great
war. Her streets were filled with uniformed
men, and upon the hills that environ the
nations capital a chain of forts was estab-
lished, broken only by the Potomac river.
Tented cities sprang up in a night. and
thousands Of marching men patrolled the
heights which commanded the capitals
broad avenues, and other thousands manned
the guns trained upon the city, ready for
any audacious foe.
OF these thousands of blue uniformed men,
hundreds will attend the national encamp-
ment as delegates who were once housed
in the tented camps about Washington.
They will have the pleasure of briefly en-
joying tent life again while they deliberate
upon the questions Of grave import to the
veterans Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lic the Survivors of that war.
The idea is, unique, and if the weather is
the usual October kind, genial, soft and
sunny, the experience will be personally
memorable to the 1000 or more members Of
the encampment 1t Is proposed to have
big circus tent capable of seating 2,0Oo
veterans. It will be hoored and supplied
with chairs, a big platform and splendidly
draped with the national colors.
There will be a regular military patrol
esta blished. with sentinels on guard, and
FL ouped about the big encampment canvas
will be dozen smaller tents which will be
used for committee meetings Of the en-
campment officers. These tents will prob
ably be located near the north side Of
Camp Roosevelt and close to the 18th street
side --.,.
The idea of holding the encampment in a
tent was so unusual that when suggested
hall In Washington Of proper proportions
for the big convention Of veterans it'found
many to oppose it. The Grand Army Of the
Republic Is a secret order, with counter
signs. and tent walls are thin, but on ma
ture elaboration 1t was decided that if
General Torrance, commander-in-chief. IA
vored the idea, It would be adopted. Gen
eral Torrance replied that he would leave
the matter entirely IN the hands of the
citizens committee, and would be satisfied
with any action II might take.

Does Not Fear Opposition.

l can say on unquestiOned authority that
the President realizes fully that his atti-
tude as 10 trusts is not going to please
some capitalists and corporation men of
the country or the radical antitrust ele-
ruent led by men like Tom Johnson and
W. ]. BRYAN.
The President does not believe that the
voters and citizenship of this country are
divided into these two classes. He believes
that there is a great middle class cOmpos ed
Of conservative people who wish to solve
the trust problem in a manner honest and
fair.
That is why he is appealing to the reason
Of the country and making no promises. He
says that not for anything would he at
tempt to pander to popular favor by pro-
posing some proposition that would be re-
ceived with reclamation by all and useless
and Ineffective if even put upon the statute
books 1t is a campaign Of education.
The President wishes to make and he will
continue to emphasize the main points of
his position. First that law must be passed
that will open to publicity the facts as to
the business of the great combinations.
judicial officers of the government know
what combinations are really violating the
law. then secure the passage of laws that
Will reach them.
=, lille this is being done the statesmen Of
the country should proceed to confer upon
the federal government full authority to
handle all unlawful aggregatiOns. The
President does not believe that the majority
OF the thinking men of the country agree
with Johnson and Bryan that the trusts
can be uprOOttd at one fell swoop.

President May Not Make Choice for a

fpAcial From a Staff Correspondent.
GAINESVILLE. Ohio, September 6.-Prosi-
dent Roosevelt is little nearer a settlement
OF the question of a successor to the late
Commissioner Ross than he was immediate
" after the death OF that official. The
chances are that no appointment will be
made for month and possibly longer than
that time. Complications have arisen re-
garding a leading candidate for the position
that temporarily prevent a settlement and
may hold the entire matter In suspense for
a long time.
The President is in no hurry and desires
to make a satisfactory appointment when
he does act If the President has time
after going back to Oyster Bay next We'd

MISHAP TO THE Topeka.
No Report of It Made to the Navy
Department.

The Navy Department Is informed OF the
arrival of the cruiser Topeka at Norfolk
from her cruise in Venezuelan waters but
has received no word to indicate that she
had met with an accident such as Is re-
ported in the morning papers. According
to the press reports, tug ran into the To-
peka as she lay off the government wharf
at Norfolk yesterday and stove large hole
in her port bow just above the water line.
The steering gear of the tug. it is said, was
out of order, and the officers in charge Of
her are said to have admitted their entire
responsibility for the collision.
The officials of the department are salts
fled that the Topeka sustained no serious
damage, and their theory is confirmed by
the fact that the vessel proceeded to the
Norfolk navy yard under her own steam.

Of the trusts. And the President was never
more in earnest never more lucid in his
arguments.

his earnest treatment of the topic.

President any pain or inconvenience, and
he Is paving no attention to them. He went
to bed early last night and slept late this
