Repair Naval Vessels.

Admiral Bowles has been notified that
the Navy Department has adopted his re-
cent recommendations in regard to the
repair of ships of the navy.
He has long deprecated the practice of
having the ships of the North Atlantic
fleet overhauled twice a year, once before
the summer war games and again in the
fall preparatory to the winter maneuvers
In his letter to Secretary Moody he said
that he regarded this practice as unneces-
sary, demoraliZing to the organization of
work at the navy yards and SO expensive
as to threaten a deficit in the fund for
maintenance and repair of the warships.
He recommended that, excepting in cases
of accidents, the ships be sent to the yards
for general Overhauling only once a year
and certainly not oftener than once in ten
months. To accomplish that result 1t was
recommended that all necessary repairs be
of the most thorough and permanent char
acter. AS result of his recommendations
the department has arranged that the ves-
sells to take part in the coming maneuvers
in the Caribbean this winter shall be fitted
out for at least ten months service.

SUCCESSOR TO MRS. TUCKER.
Eva Booth, Sister Of the Deceased,
Likely to Be Chosen

Mrs. Darlington Booth when asked for
some expression of her feelings on the
death of Mrs. Booth-Tucker said yesterday:
Il am very sorry for this accident. which
caused the death of Mrs. Booth-Tucker.
It is most terrible thing. an. especially
sorry for the poor little children left moth
erless. 1 feel that it would not be delicate
for me to say more at this time.
with my husband and Herbert Booth
I at once wired expressions ofe7sympathy
for the family explained Mrs Booth. II
do not know my husbands plans in the
matter; If he is in the city he will prob
ably attend his sisters funeral. But he
will attend as one of the Booth family, not
as representative of the Volunteers of
America.
THE two organizations, the Volunteers
of the Salvation Army, will probably re-
main, as they are, entirely distinct and sep
arate. The death of Mrs Booth-Tucker is
no more likely to lead to a reunion of them
than would the death of a relative Of
Bishop Potter lead to a merger of Epis-
copalians and Methodists."

PLEASED TO COME HERE.
Sir Henry Mortimer Durand Talks of
His New Appointment.

A dispatch to the New York World from
Madrid quotes the following interview with
Sir Henry Mortimer Durand:
1T has always been my great desire to
go to America, and 1 accepted my appoint
ment as ambassador with the keenest
pleasure.
Il cannot possibly reach Washington be-
fore Congress meets, but shall start soon
for London, where ] shall stay to complete
my preparations, crossing via Liverpool,
probably before December
The ambassador, who is tall and of ath-
letic build and genial manners, received his
visitor most cOurteOusly. Concerning his
appointment to Washington he said fur
Their:
Il confess it was somewhat of a surprise,
though certainly pleasant one. l had no
intimatiOn of 1t until l received inquiry
from the foreign Office asking if l would
go. to which 1 immedia tely replied in the
affirmative The leading American states
men are known to me by reputation only,
so l have yet to acquaint myself with
American men and affairs"
When asked what line of policy he would
follow the ambassador answered:
That is difficult to answer, owing to my
unacquaintance with the country; but, nat
urally, 1 shall follow the lines laid down
by the foreign Office and British interests.
Regarding the difficulties of my new posi-
ton, unless am much mistaken they will
iiol NC very great, pei maps less llldIl DIT
Madrid. owing to the number of pending in
ternational questions here.
1.-THE relations between the United States
and Great Britain are most cordial, there
being no serious litigation pending between
the two Anglo-Saxon nations, and 1 per-
sonally am convinced that Great Britain
will use every endeavor to avoid causes for
friction, as made evident by the submission
of the Alaska questions to arbitration. The
political horizon being, therefore. cloudless,
1 imagine my part at Washington will be
social rather than diplomatic
Questioned concerning Spain, the ambas-
sador said he would leave Madrid with re-
greet.
During their four years stay in Spain Sir
Henry and Lady Durand have made them
selves very popular in the diplomatic corps
and Spanish society. They received many
attentions from the king and queen regent
No British ambassador for thirty years has
been more Jealous in defense of British in
terests and promoting the Improvement of
the relations of England and Spain.
During the difficult times after the war
between Spain and the United States Du-
rand acted with tact, forbearance, quiet
firmness and old world gentlemanly cour-
tesy, which the Spaniards very much APP
preciated.
The American minister, Mr.. Hardy, highly
approves of the appointment of his friend
and colleague, whom he has known here
and in Persia for several years.

Fraud in Examination Detected.

The civil service commission has received
advice from Theodore Babcock jr., secre-
tary Of the local board of examiners for
the custom house in New York, that Daniel
O'Shea and Jeffrey O'Connell have been
found guilty in the United States court of
conspiracy to defraud the government. and
sentenced to fine of $50 each. The charges.
which were prosecuted under sections 541S
and $40 of the Revised Statutes, were to
the effect that OConnell, who was an APP
plicant for a position in the custom house,
induced OShea to impersonate him in the
civil service examination, in the hope that
he would in that way obtain higher rating
in the examination. Secretary Babcock dis
covered the attempted deception, with the
result that the case was referred to the De-
partment of Justice for prosecution.

June an agent of a pool room syndicate
made an offer to Deputy Commissioner

The commissioner said that not only had

indignation, but an effort had been made
to have the agent of the pool room men
indicted. This effort. however, had failed
Commissioner Greene said that some per-
son who is as yet unknown to him called
on a friend of Capt. Piper, and represent
ing himself to be an agent of the pool room
syndicate, said that If Richard Roe would
get Capt Piper to consent to quiet run
ming of pool rooms until January / he
would pay to Capt. Piper $500 900 and would
pay the handsome sum of $4,000 to Richard
Roe for his services.
Richard Roe was very Indignant" said
the commissioner, land ordered the man :
OUT of his Office. He has never seen him
since
Later the friends told Capt. Piper of the
incident. The matter was laid before Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, who said that, as
there were no witnesses an indictment

ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 2.-The
proceedings of the naval court-martial
called for the trial of three midshipmen
of the first class, charged with hazing,
began at o'clock this morning at the
midshipmen's quarters. The first mid
shipman to be arraigned was John H.
Lofiand of Oskaloosa, Iowa, and his plea
was not guilty. All of the morning ses-
sion was occupied in the hearing of wit
nesses for the prosecution.
AS soon as the trial of Lof1and is COM
pleted the court will take up the cases of
Joseph D. Little of Springfield Ohio, and
Earl w. Chaffee of Rhinelander, Wis,
charged with the same ofense. The
charges against all the midshipmen are
connected with one affair. which consist
ed of the alleged haZing of certain MEM
bers of the fourth class. The charge is
particularly serious, as the accused are
members of the first or highest, class.
1t Is charged that they hazed Midship-
men w. w. Lawrence of Colorado and
Churchill Humphrey of Kentucky. The
specification which follows the charge in
the formal arraignment states that the
former was hazed by being compelled to
stand on his head and the latter by being
forced to engage in protracted physical
exercise
The members of the court who assem-
bled this morning are Lieut.. Com. w. c.
p. Muir and Lieuts W. r. Shoemaker
and W. H. G. Billiard. The first named
will act as president by virtue of senior
ity.
Lieut.. B. w. Wells, jr, is Judge advo-
cate, and Daniel r. Randall states attor-
ney OF Anne Arundel county. has been
appointed TO act as counsel for the ac
cused m1dshipmen. The witnesses exam
men this morning were Midshipmen Law
renee and Humphrey, who, it is charged,
were hazed and number of other mid
shipmen of the fourth class All of them
as is usual in cases of the kind, showed
the greatest reluctance to say anything
that might tend to injure the accused
mldshlpmen, or even to admit the exist
ence of hazing.
