NO RELIEF FOR NAVY CHAPLAINs.
Their Own Activity Said to Have Defeated
Legislation.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Washington, Feb. 9-The chaplains of the navy,
of whom have been interesting themselves In
legislation, destined to be disappointed Neither
the House the Senate Naval Committee is
favorably disposed toward the project, and this
situation is mainly due to the Industrious
paign which has been waged for. if not by, the
chaplains themselves. Clergymen Of all denomina-
tions have been writing to the Navy Department
and to Chairman Foss Of the House Naval Commit
tee and Senator Hale. chairman of the Senate
mittee this subject The result has been the
accumulation both at the Navy Department and at
the Capitol Of voluminous literature. all bearing
the marks of coming from the same source 1t is
said that two chaplains have been con-
spicuous in the effort to obtain legislation, and
this fact more than anything else has injured their
cause. Mr.. Moody has decided not to express him
self on the subject, and without some request for
the legislation from the Navy Department the
naval committees will allow the matter to drop.
Some congressman who regard themselves as
pestered correspondents in their districts in
cned complain Of the situation to the Navy
Department. There are regulations, both in the
War and Navy departments. against officers inter-
fering with or attempting to influence Congress.
and the attitude of the chaDlains who per-
sistent in attempting 10 legislation in their
behalf is that of engaging in a project which does
not have the sanction of the administration Chap

CHIEF JOSEPH TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.
The Famous Nez Perces Warrior Wants TO
Return to His Old Home
1sY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Washington Feb a-Chief Joseph the famous
leader of the Nez Perces, who made a brave and
desperate stand against white occupation OF the
far Northwest and was finally captured in 1877 by
General Miles is on his way to Washington TO see
the Great Father Of the nation. With the rem
nant Of his once formidable tribe Of Nez Perces
Chief Joseph has been living at Nezpeltm, In the
Colville reservation. He is coming to Washington
to petition Department of the Interior TO allow
him to settle his tribesmen again in their old
home in the Wallowa Valley. west Of the Snake
River in Oregon. Chief Joseph is accompanied by
his nephew, Ollicut, and Peope Yotalikt and An
drew Whitman. the latter an educated Indian VINO
will act as interpreter.
Chief Joseph is a sturdy and picturesque survival
Of the old warrior type. In his uprising against
the whites it his ambition to accomplish what
Black Hawk years before had failed to do-the
consolidation of all the scattered members of
American tribes for a grand and final stand
against encroaching civilization. When Miles
penned him in a ravine of the Bearpaw Mountains,

DENMARK'S LAST CHANCE.
Opportunity to Sell West Indian Islands
Open Until June

Washington, Feb. e.-The government here does
not regard the question of the cession OF the
Danish West Indies closed by any means IL
is said that certainly the negotiations have not
been closed by any act of the United States. ano
if Denmark has halted in the transfer 1t was from
internal considerations, and the conditions which
caused the delay be changed only by the
Danish Government. Technically the United States
has negotiated a treaty with Denmark for the
eession of the islands. and not until next June
will the period OF time allowed for the exchange
OF ratifcations expire. Any time before that date
the Danish Government is free to ratify that
treaty, and, as this has already been done by the
United States Senate. the negotiations would close
with success The administration has practically
assured itself that the treaty could not again be
ratified by the Senate it stands. owing to oo1ec-
tons its form rather than to the principle IN

The rowdics who infest the top gall
lery broke forth in Il number of in
stances, and with their Kisses and
h"oting and rude remarks not only
Gisheartened the performers. but in
suited and Disguised the audience.
The only pity is that the management
Of the house cannot see its way clear
TO make some arrests in such cases.
The gallery crowd in Rock Island has
got to have slap-stick comedy or fire
works to be satisfied. The show last
night was way out of their reach.
They did not grasp its historical sig
nificance. and therefore could not APP
preciatc it. SO they proceeded to
make it uncomfortable for the people
on the stage and those in the body of
the house. Performers are only hui
man. If their work is approximately
received they give their listeners the
best they have. If it is not. they do
their part. and no more. So when the
rcwdies in the gallery started to guy
and hiss last night it took all of the
enthusiasm out of the performers.
and the result was the audience was
probably denied hearing some of the
best things in the opera. The Illinois
management should, in the interest of
its patrons. be prepared to act on the
next outbreak from the pit. Last
night it would have been proper to
have rung down the curtain and call
ed the police force to clear the gal
lery. and then allowed the audience to
enjoy the show as they paid to do.
