THE question as to the manner Of ex-
animation of baggage of passengers com

visit to this city. 1t is the earnest hope
Of the Secretary of the Treasury that as

vigilance must be exercised to protect the
revenues of the Government. 1 am not

ply a conference, and we hope to arrive at
a conclusion that will be satisfactory to
all parties concerned

he represented at the st. Louis Exposition
by "A fleet in being and the people of the
interior have their interest in the navy s
development stimulated by a sight of some
of the modern war vessels. Secretary Moody
desires. if possible. to order the torpedo
fotilla to st. Louis. probably for the open
ing OF the Exposition next spring
President Francis and several other of
ficials of the Exposition discussed with the
Secretary to-day the question OF ships at
St Louis. but because of the strandins Of
the monitor Arkansas. which went w the
Mississippi in April to attend the dedica-
tory exercises and was compelled by low
water to remain in the river for some
weeks. naval officers are opposed to risking
any vessels larger than torpedo boats or
torpcco-boat destroyers so far up the Mis-
sissippi as st. Louis.
Because of their peculiar build and the
fact that they represent the latest develop
ment OF man-0f-war. Secretary Moody
thinks the mosquito fleet would prove of
great interest to the Exposition visitors.
and in case he ordered the fiotilla there IL
would be allowed to remain for some time.
IL is impossible 50 far ahead FOR the de-
pertment TO promise definitely about the
dispatch of vessels on pleasure trire. but II
all goes well. the st. Louis Exposition will
number among its attractions the navy
torpeco fOtilia. How many or what YES
sells Will be selected for the trip will not be
determined for some time.

The men rowed easily, keeping the
stroke between 26 and 80.
Although the men are high on the
catch. the work was quite satisfactory.
The Varsity eight did not go out on
the river until els. They rowed up
stream about two miles at half speed.
Some of the men still hang on the
catch. The work OF the Varsity four
was ragged because of the numerous
changes which have been made of late.
