change Recently Secretary Long
has been in Massachusetts making
arrangements with his old legal CON
nections to re-enter the practice OF
law and he has had his house at
Higham put in order for his occupa-
ton. When Secretary Long entered
the cabinet originally he was an &C.
tie member of the firm of Hemingway
& Long, well-known legal firm OF
Boston. He always has maintained a
silent connection with concern, and
will again become an active partner
Mr.. Moody's selection for the post
of secretary of the navy was the out
come of an interesting contest. There
were no less than half a dozen aspir-
ants, but the struggle finally narrowed
down to two representatives in con
gress-Mr. Foss of Illinois, chairman
Of the naval committee of the house
who had the energetic support of his
western colleagues, and Mr.. Moody
for whom Senator Lodge made win
ming fight. 1t was for a time in doubt
whether Mr.. Moody would not be
placed in some important foreign mis-
sion rather than in the navy but he
preferred to stay at home.
The news that Representative
Moody had accepted the navy port
folio reached the capitol shortly af-
ter noon and Mr.. Moody, who was on
the floor of the house, was showered
with hearty congratulations. For
several minutes he held levee in
one of the side aisles on the republi-
can side. The democratic members
noticed the demonstrations and
crossed over to join in the ovation,
his congratulations from that quarter
being fully as hearty and sincere as
those from his own side of the house.
Mr.. Moody began his rise to promi-
nence during his first term in che
house, when Speaker Reed selected
him frequently to preside overthe COM
mittee of the whole and predicted for
him a brilliant legislative career. AS
a member of the appropriation COM
mittee he has since led several fights
on the floor, notably in connection
with the contest between the navy
and the geodetic survey over the jur-
isdiction of deep sea surveys. He Sc
cured the adoption of a resolution
raising Dewey to the rank of admiral.

1864 at the age of Is years and that,
having witnessed an act which COM
promised the second officer OF the
ship, he was taken ashore in March of
that year by that officer and told not
to report again for duty. The commit
tee say that this order together with
Glass youth was responsible for his
desertion.
For several hours the senate had
the ship subsidy bill under considera-
ton. Mr.. Mallory (dem., Fla) ana
lyzed the bill carefully and held there
was no good reason for it's enactment
into law, saying he believed 1t would
not accomplish the results hoped for
by it's promoters. His opposition was
based chiefly on the ground that it
would extend the favor of the United
States treasury to private individuals
and corporations without just returns
for the expenditure.
Prior to the consideration of the
subsidy measure, lively debate oc-
cured over an effort on the part Of
Mr.. Berry (dem., Ark) to ascertain
when the committee on privileges and
elections might be expected to report
the resolution providing for the cleo
ton of senators by direct vote of the
people. Mr.. Hoar rep, Mass.) indi-
Gated his vigorous opposition to such
a resolution on the ground that it
would subvert the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which the senate was
founded.

search for the incendiary, citizens of
the locality where it started claimed
to remember having been told by
Outer, some time previous, that the
town was to be burned and advised
them to insure heavily against it. The
assertion and other circumstances led
to his arrest. He denied remember
ing anything of the sort and claimed
that if he had made such statement it
was idle talk and the subsequent full
fillment of the prophesy was a coin
cidence. In the absence of any direct
evidence the jury believed him.
