New York, Feb. 25.-In a drizZling
rain and in the presence of a brilliant
aSsemblage, amidst cheering and the
roar of cannon the German emperOr's
new schooner yacht Meteor was
launched from Shelters island today.
Unlike the weather, the arrange
ments were perfect and no untoward
incident marred the occasion. The
president and Mrs. Roosevelt, Prince
Henry and the distinguished party ac-
companying them were enthusiastical-
ly cheered when they arrived at the
platform built just back of the bow of
the Meteor. After greetings had been
exchanged Miss Roosevelt stepped for
ward, and taking hold of silver COW
cred bottle containing German cham
pagne broke it on the side Of the YES
sci. Immediately she seized a silver
AK and severed the rope which re-
leased the weights holding the Meteor.
The vessel went gracefully into the
water with the American flag breaking
out at the taffrail.
American and German national airs
were played and from the scores of
craft containing eXcursionists came
enthusiastic cheering Miss Roosevelt
wore a dress of sapphire blue velvet,
large black hat trimmed with os.
trich feathers and a fur muff and boa.

PRACTICALLY USELESS
REPORT REGARDING THREE FIRE
DEPARTMENT ENGINES.

Mr. Robert w. Dutton, chief engineer OF
the fire department, has forwarded TO the
District Commissioners a report made by
Machinist Thomas M. Robinson on the con-
ditions of engines No. II, No. II and No.
10 of the local department These engines
are reported to be practically unservice-
able because of their age, having been in
the department nearly twenty years. 1t is
stated that they are liable to break down
at any moment, are constantly requiring
repairs and yet are not worth the expendi-
ture on them of any considerable amount
Mr.. Dutton therefore recommends that
Congress be asked to Immediately provide
funds with which to replace the old en-
gines by larger and modern fire-fghting
machines.
Mr. Dutton also approves the recon-
mendation of the department. machinist
that in the future no engine Of the depart
ment be used for pumping out cellars or
conduits Work of this kind is said to be
highly injurious to fire engines, and the de-
partment is not well enough equipped for
any such employment of it's apparatus
The report of the machinist is interesting.
'"These engines" he says. referring to
Nos II, 12 and Is, "are of an antiquated
pattern, single-pump, horizontal make.
When built, nearly twenty years ago, they
were supposed to displace or throw 400 gal
Ions of water per minute, but today their
capacity is not more than 300 gallons per
minute To do even that, they have to be
run much harder than an engine of their
make should be run, and are. therefore,
likely to break down at any moment. Their
running gear is also in bad condition, and
part of the apparatus or running gear has

FOR A HALL or RECORDS

1t Authorizes the Appointment of {
Joint Committee to Consider

The Senate today passed the resolution
lately reported from the committee on pub
lie buildings by Mr.. Fairbanks authorizing
joint committee of senators and repre-
sentatives to consider the subject of site
and an appropriate building to be used as
hall of records.
As passed by the Senate. the resolution is
amended requiring this joint committee to
give its views in relation to the necessity
for such hall of records The joint reso-
luton will at once go to the House for con-
sideration. it having already practically re-
ceived the approval of the House committee
on public buildings and grounds
The joint committee, when appointed, will
consist of three senators and five repre-
sentatives, and they will at once take up
the question of proper site for a hall of
records in the District of Columbia No
particular site is now agreed upon by
either the House or Senate committee SO
that the joint committee will be quite free

not only TO permit the construction OF a

possible have grounds around It, Promi-
nent members of the committee on public
buildings and grounds oppose the construc-
tion of any building of the sky-scraper
class, and as the building will have to
spread over great deal of ground a larger
site than might otherwise be necessary will
be required. Another important point is to
have the building centrally located in rela-

Washington Light Infantry Armory
Scene of Fine Display.
toothsome exhibit of things gastronom-
| ical, calculated to tickle alike the palate
| of the epicure and that of his less fortunate
| neighbor, is now being displayed at the
Washington Light Infantry Armory. The
original pure food exposition is responsible
| for this exhibition of dainteS and things
| more substantial. The show, if it may so
| be called, will be formally opened tonight
and will continue until February 1. AL
| though the opening was supposed to take
| place last night, many of the booths were
| not completed and things generally were
| in a chaotic state.
| By tonight, however, it is believed that
| all of these difficulties will have been re-
| moved, and the show will be thoroughly
| complete.
This is the first pure food exposition held
| in this city in several years. 1t is under
| the management Of Mr.. Andrew Boyd who
| is a pioneer in exhibitions of this Sort and
| has promoted them in various parts of the
country. Mr.. Boyd managed the last pure
| food show held in this city under the
| same auspices, and is sanguine of the sue
cess of the present exhibition.
| Last night the hall and booths were
| beautifully decorated and scores of electric
| lights lent additional charm to the scene
There will be afternoon and evening ses-
| sionS of the show. Samples of the various
foods will be distributed free to patrons.
| Among the attractions was brass
| band, which will furnish music during the
afternoons from until O'Clock. and in
| the evening from 7:30 until 10 o'clock 1t
| is expected that by this evening the forty
five exhibitors will be ready with their
stands, and will have on display most
| elaborate collection of goods. All last even
| ing the carpenters and decorators were
| kept busy completing the booths, but this
| did not detract from the show to any great
| extent. The attendance was satisfactory
| to the promoters. and the exhibit satisfac-
| tory to those in attendance
| This afternoon at 3 o'clock there was a
| soups by graduate Of Mrs Rorer's school.
During the lecture soup will be served to

| Mr.. Boyd to have lecture every afternoon
on some subject of interest to housekeepers
| and to serve samples Of the food cooked to
| demonstrate that the system recommended
