Wants New Secretary of Navy.
1t is understood the President is
looking for a Secretary of Navy who
| does not get sea sick" every time he
| cruises on salt water. "Sea sick" Sec
rotary Moody returned to Washington
yesterday from short cruise in the
West Indies. and along the Atlantic
coast and is temporarily out OF COM
mission, on account of too much toss

| Gulf of Mexico. His shipmates, Sena-
tors Hale Of Maine. Bacon Of Georgia,
and Representative Dalzell of Pennsyl-

enough not to hold the "seasick' Sec
rotary responsible for any statement
| he is alleged to have made while
bravely trying to do his duty to his
country, in inspecting certain naval
| stations in a warm and salubrious eli
mate. Mr.. Moody is not a great Sec

ministration has already concluded

understood that he proposes to return
