LIBERIA WANTS WAR VESSELS.
Has Made Request That Navy Dc
rnr;mcnt Sell Her One ChcnpIy.

Much to the surprise OF the officials OF
the Navy Department. the Government Of
Liberia, through its representative, MIR.
w. b. Matchett, has made formal re-
quest to the Secretary of the Navy, asking
that action be taken under the act of
Congress of 1866. providing for the trans
fer to that Government, for Il considera-
tion, of some vessel in the navy which
could be conveniently spared. This mat
ter was regarded as being entirely closed
by the action OF Secretary Herbert.
Under the provisions of the act the
Secretary was empowered to sell to Lii
IBERIA a vessel deemed Unfit for further
service in the United States Navy at 4
price set by the Secretary. which sum
was to ne paid in ten annual installments
Mr. Herbert decided that the Swatara
could be best spared. and so notified the
representative of Liberia. No action,
however was ever taken further, and the
Navy Department believes that Liberia
wished to obtain the ship as gift.
In view of the fact that action has al
ready been taken IN compliance with the
act it is doubtful whether the Depart
mcnt will feel justified in Offering another
vessel. 1t is barely possible, however,
that Secretary Long Will offer one OF the
old monitors now at the League Island
Navy Yard, which the Government Is
anxious 20 dispose of and for which no
other purchaser can be found.

ADMIT FRICTION
IN PHILIPPINES.
Gen. Chaffee and Civilians
Have Trouble.
TOO MUCH HASTE IN CHANGING.
Many Officers Express Relief Tint
to Ectard Paci6cntiOa of Is
Iands-Secretary Root Expected to
Define Powers More Clearly.

That serious friction exists between the
military and civil authorities in the Phil
ippines Is frankly admitted by officers of
the army who are conversant with the
condition of affairs there.
Every effort has been made to lessen
the trouble between General Chaffee and
the civilians in authority in the archi-
reiago, but little has yet been accom-
plished.
Officers who have spent months in the
islands for the purpose OF learning the
exact conditions there are unanimously
of the opinion that too much haste was
made in the establishment of civil power
The petty jealousies that have arisen as
a result of the placing of civilians ii
power where officers of the army had
hitherto been supreme have operated to
the detriment of discipline and authority.
Has Retarded Pncifcation.
Many officers do not hesitate to state
that, in their opinion. the trouble be-
tween the civil and military authorities
has greatly retarded the pacification of
the islands.
In view of these known difficulties 1t il
take some action looking TO a better
definition of the respective powers of
the military officials and the civil au-
thorities. Exactly where the line will be
drawn is one of the many problems in
connection with the Philippine Islands
that MIR. Root has now to confront.
Awaiting Judge TAFT, Arrival.
1t is possible that upon the arrival
here of Judge Taft consultation will be
held between officers of the army whe
have been in power in the Philippines
and, therefore, better understand the con-
litions, and himself.
No particular significance is attached
TO the despatch received a few days ago
from General Chaffee. in which il was
stated that no friction of a personal"
nature existed between the authorities.
This is true as far as it goes, but the Var
Department is aware that General Chat
fee, bette: than anyone else, understands
that something will have TO be done in
the immediate future to relieve the fric.
tion OF official nature.

the close OF the war, and Captain Sea-

What is declared by army officers to DC
one of the best and strongest arguments

Prohibition Not the Question.
whether or not there should be an alb
sOlute prohibition put upon the sale OF
intoxicantS is not the crucial question
upon which the army cantccn must be re-
tained or abolished. Even the most in
temperate advocate of prohibition does
not suggest that If the canteen is abolish
ed there Will be no drinking in the army.
Everyone knows that if the men who
compose the bulk of our army cannot get
their drink at the army post they
will get it elsewhere. Where will they
get it? At some low saloon where whisky
will flow as free.y as beer. And such
whisky, Instead of the cool, refreshing

need for them they should be retained.

CEILING IN STATUARY HALL.
Far-Famcd Echo In Capitol Chanlbe el
5Iay Have Been Destroyed.

When Congress meets on Monday it is
expected that Statuary Hall will once
more resume its old-time look. with the
exception of having a new ceiling and
roof. The work of reroofing the hall has
been in progress since last summer and
has just been completed.
Yesterday men were engaged in reniov-
ing the scaffolding from the interior, and
by Monday the statuary which has been
admired by thousands upon thousands of
visitors to the National Capitol will
again appear in its normal condition.
Whether or not the new roof will have
destroyed the echo for which Statuary
Hall was famed far and wide will not be
known until the hall is restored to it's
former appearance. The new ceiling is in
panels, the designs being executed in
plaster relief work. The old ceiling was
smooth. the ornam,sntafion being in oil.
