PORTSMOUTH NEWS.
New Departures in the Navy Yard
Status of jamestown Exposition Bill.
Of The Evening Star.


PORTSMOUTH, Va. December &c, 1893
A new departure has been made in the
training of the recruits to the naval train
ing station opposite the navy yard in this
city.
They are taken out to sea several times
a week aboard one of tie yacht tenders to
the receiving ships Franklin and Richmond.
On these trips they taught the rudi-
ments of seamanship and navigation, and
the foundation Is laid for the familiarity
with the guns which distinguishes all Amer
lean tars and has made their craftsmanship
the wonder of all the navies of the world.
After very few months nearly all of them
are competent to be sent to the regular
ships of the navy as part of the crew.
1t has been determined lately to instruct
the enlisted men In mechanics. A class Of
officers has also been formed at the navy
yard under the direction of the experts in
the department of construction and repair
over which Naval Constructor Robert
Stocker presides. The boys who have been
elected members of the class are being
trained for first class blacksmiths machin-
lists, pipe filters electricians and plumbers
There may yet be chance for the James,
town Exposition Company to have it's char
ter extended by the same legislative body
that granted it. Major Edwin w. Owens
delegate from Norfolk county, declared that
II there IS a quorum present in the senate
on next Wednesday there is no question but
that the matter will be called up and that it
will be passed unanimously
Delegate Owens declares that 1t was no
antagonism on the part of Senator Crom-
we'll to the jamestown exposition that led
him to break the quorum at Richmond, but
that his action was due to his desire to de-
feat the Anderson annexation bill. which
permits the judges of courts to prescribe
what territory adjacent to large commune
ties may be taken in by the same
why should he be?" he inquired. 1.-The
big show is to be held right here in his own
county, and there is no reason in the world
why he should seek to stab the enterprise.
He saw the only way to defeat the Ander-
son bill. and he awaited himself of it, He
broke the quorum. Now, if Mr.. Barksdale 8
motion to have call of the senate had pre-
vailed the jamestown bill would have pass
ed, for the sergeant-at-arms would then
have brought the members into the cham
Der no matter where they were to be found.
l still believe that the bill extending the
time will be passd by the senate.

was chairman Of the finance COMMITTEES
under Leo XIII, resigned on account Of old
age and infirmities. and Cardinal Cretoni
also resigned upon the plea that his duties
as executor Of the win of Leo XIII require
his entire time and attention. Merry del
Val, the new secretary of state, has been
appointed in his place and Cardinal Ram
polla remains upon the committee.
The new pope is anxious to cut down ex-
penses and has appointed commission to
report to him how they may be reduced,
but 1t is not probable that 1T will be able to
suggest any considerable economies. The
largest sums are supposed to be expended
in support OF the embassies at the Euro
pean capitals, and there is an impression
that their allowances will be considerably
cut down. 1t is certain, also, that a large
number of sinecures at the papai court will
be abolished, and naturally the employees
about the Vatican are cons derably agitated
as to their fate.
Every post is now filed by friends of
Cardinal Rampella, who was secretary of
state for seventeen years or by some favor
lite of Leo XIII, and they naturally object
to being turned ont. Every one of them sup
ported Rampolla for pope as far as he was
able to do SO. and 1t is perfectly natural
that they were and still are loyal to him.
Pope Plus is not a partisan, and has sur
prised people by retaining most of them
III their positions.
The Changes Made.
The only changes thus far made in the
staff of officials have been due to age or
some other disability. The only new men
who have been introduced are his secretary,
Mgr. Brassan; his chaplain, Mgr. Constan-
tini and one or two other personal at
taches. This is quite remarkable and I'M
precedented particularly because Sarto
comes from the north of Italy, and nearly
all of the Vatican officials are from central
or southern Italy, Between the two sec
tons of the kingdom are not only great diff
ferences in manners, customs, methods and
opinions. but there is considerable jealousy
and dstrust on both sides.
Thus far Plus x seems to have been gov
erned by an unselfish disposition to serve
the interests for which he is responsible.
He is entirely impersonal. The men who
opposed his election to the papal throne
most earnestly seem to have as much in
huence and to receive much considera-
ton from him as his most earnest support
ers.
The other day a monsignore suggested
that a certain cardinal was not entitled to
the consideration he claimed because he
had tried to prevent the pope's election.
Il ought to be grateful to him for that"
replied the holy father; II am sorry that
he did not succeed"
Thus far nothing Is certain about the fu-
ture except that the expenses of the Vati-
can will be reduced much as possible,
and little money will be expended in care-
monies, which will be disappointment to
the residents and to the visitors in Rome.

Falling Off in the Papal Revenues
The Disastrous Folchi Speculation
Expulsion of Orders From France.
BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star and
Chicago Record-Herald.
ROME, December II, 1908
The other day when the italian newspa-
pers contained cablegram stating that the
Catholics of Chicago had subscribed large
sum of money as present to the new pope,
several very distinguished ecclesiastics at
the Vatican expressed their qualification
and asked me If I thought the story was
true
The holy see Is very much cramped for
money. Plus x came into power with an
empty pocketbook. He was always poor
man. The revenues of the diocese of Venice
did not give him more than an average Of
400 year, with which he was compelled
to maintain the dignit:es OF a patriarch.
keep up a palace which is very old and out
of repair and respond to very urgent APP
peals for charity His friends say that he
was often entirely without means, and had
to ask credit for his market bills. Several
times when he was suddenly called to Rome
he found himself without a cent in his
pocket and was compelled to ask friends
for money to pay his expenses On one oc-
casion when repairs to the cardinals palace
became imperative he borrowed SfO0 at a
bank and was in continual distress of mind
for fear that he should never be able to
pay it.
His scruples about money matters made
him over-sensitive. 1t is also said that when
he was summoned to attend the conclave
which elected MIN pope his archepiscopal
ring had been pledged to secure money he
had borrowed to relieve the distress of
family whose father had been sent to prison
and left them entirely destitute. This. how
ever. Venetians say, was not an unusual cir
cumstance. The ring is said to have been
redeemed by friend only an hour or so
before Cardinal Sarto's departure for Rome.
The expenses OF the funeral. the conclave
and the coronation were very large, ana
there was only small amount in the treas
ury to meet them. There was great disap-
pointment at this fact.
