OFFICERS PLEASED WITH HANCOCK
Substitution of Her for Columbia as Receiv-
ing Shin of the Navy Yard Is Welcome.

Much satisfaction is felt by the officers at the
BROOKLYN Navy Yard over the substitution OF the
transport Hancock for the cruiser Columbia as the
receiving ship of the station. The Hancock, which
was formerly n1erchantman-th3 Arizona. of the
Guon I.ine-is much better fitted for the uses OF a
receiving ship the Columbia, or than the Yer
mont which was used in that capacity for so
many years
The Hancock has just reached Brooklyn from
the Pacific, where she used as transport by
the army for several years. She came around the
Horn in command of Lieutenant Commander Fred
erick W. Coffin. U. 8. n. The entire trip took
seventy-four days, nineteen Of which were spent In
Valparaiso, Montevideo, Bahia and other ports.
Lieutenant Commander Coffin found her steady
and reliable vessel. He says that the space be-
tween her decks is large and roomy. and that she
is admirably adapted to the purposes of a. receiving
ship.
When the Hancock came in last week It was
found that the vessel would not go under the
Brooklyn Bridge until her topmast was taken on
This not discovered until she had reached Lib
erty Island, her way to the yard. She was
then towed back to Tompkinsvile, where the Of
Tending topmast was eliminated after which she
as towed up to her berth at tine Cob Dock. Some
time this week the few changes necessary before
the Hancock goes into service receiving ship
will be completed.

ing ship since the Vermont was condemned, two
up as a training ship She viii take out a crew
of apprentices for the positions Of fireman and en-
twin screws, and holds the cruiser speed record in

the humble purposes Of receiving ship on account
of her propensity for eating up large amounts Of
COAL She does not possess the first requisites for
receiving ship, and the reserve sailors have suf~
fered many inconvenience during her term at the

NEW PLAN FOR LIBRARIES.
Grout, if Present Consolidation Bill Fails to
Pass, to Urge Lows Scheme

Controller Grout has a plan for the con-
solidation OF the Brooklyn Library with the Brook
lyn Public Library system. which will be pre-
sented in case the Controllers BILL In Albany,
stirs UP opposition that will result in further
deadlock in the proceedings. The plan is that the
libraries be consolidated, under the provisions of
the Mayors compromise bill. which provides for
the appointment of the original board by the
Mayor, half being taken from each of the libraries
those from the Montague-st. institution being self
perpetuating.
1t is proposed by Mr.. Grout to amend the bill
that when a vacancy occurs among the members
from the private library the successor shall be ap-
pointed by the Mayor. Under this plan the pres
ens representatives of the private library could
long they desired, but after their death
the board Of directors the Public Library would
be appointed by the Mayor.
The Controller urges that in five six years the
city will have so many branch libraries that the
value OF the private library as an institution for
popular education will have diminished In propor-
tion to the number OF public libraries opened, and
that the directors from the private library should,
therefore, not have equal voice in directing the
policy of the entire public library system OF the
borough.
