 The ship Varon once commanded was, when Colombia got her. known as the Padilla. By that name she was known until she steamed into Panama one fine morning nearly two years ago, and with few shots sunk the Lauterra and killed Gen. Carlos Alban. and then ran away without compelling the surrender of the City of Panama. After that engagement her name was changed to the Twenty-frst of November-the Colombian Fourth of July--and now, since the Panamaian rev. olutionists established their independence, her name has again been changed to the Third of November Ores Noviembre).
 A Londonderry Product.
 This vessel was built originally for the fruit service on this western coast, and had some accommodations for passengers. She is a product of Londonderry, IT r5land, the date of her launching being a matter of much uncertainty and no concern. Of about 1,50O tons displacement, she Is sea- worthy. Wholly without armor, she is able to present fairly good appearance, due to the open mounting of some mod ern, small-calibcred, breech-loading guns. There are two pieces aft. one on either quarter; two just forward of the beam and one 15-pounder Driggs-seabury gun, with telescopic sights-to which sights the attention of the visitor is particularly called-mounted forward, over the fore castle. When I was aboard this ship the other day the officers and crew were much excited over the news that some additional guns. including some rapid-fir- ing one and two-pounders, were expected in a day or so to complete her arma- ment.
 Under the command of General Jeffries who does not claim to be a sailor, but who acts as his own navigator, notwith- standing his small knowledge of seaman ship, the Tres Noviembre Is being brought into moderate condition. "Jeff' has in- stalled Charlie" Ross as executive officer of the ship. and Charlie" has drawn about him as chiefs of gun divisions number of young Americans all of a daredevil disposition. and nearly all of whom have seen service as enlisted men in the United States navy. The day I was aboard Charlie" had received a letter from an American seaman just out of prison after a sentence for desertion, who was pining for an opportunity to wear shoulder-straps in the Panamaian navy. and who earnestly begged to be given job.

 "All right. Charlie; when are you comin' of again?'
 "Sometime. tomorrow mornin'. I sup pose"
 'That'll do: but don't make 1t any later. as may want to go ashore myself tomor- row afternoon
 Al right" Charlie answered. and re- ::red.
 That colloquy is fair index to the dis cipline in the Panamaian navy, which swings on a lazy anchor about two miles off-shore from this city, well out beyond the line of mud-fiats which mark the linn its of the 22-foot tide which ebbs and flows along this rugged coast.
 I visited this navy the other day, and 1t was while seated on the quarterback of the flagship just after breakfast, which is regularly served at Il o'clock, that l heard the conversation quoted above. Charlie" otherwise Colonel Charles Ross. chief artillerist of the flagship Tres Mo- viembre. lounged into the presence of the Admiral of the Navy. Gen. H. O. Jeffries, and without the formality of a salute, an nounced his intention of going ashore. 'Jen," the admiral, made his response. and the incident closed when Charlie" '" in civilian dress and a small straw hat, lounged forward again, ceremony being carefully eschewed.
 As Charlie went forward Jeff remarked:
 There's a good fellow. He's been down fin this country with me for a long time, and we've been in some pretty tight places together. out have always managed to get out During the last revolution we were together in little tugboat, and went up one of the small streams that lead inward from the coast of Cauca We had no idea there were any Liberals around until we ran right into a nest of them. two minutes We had the hottest kind of a time. They shot the boat full of holes. and it is a wonder any of us got out alive. Charlie had washed his under shirt that morning and hung 1t out to dry. During the firing 42 bullets went through the garment. When We got back to Panama Charlie showed the unde = shirt to General Alban, who asked: Did you have 1t on when that was done:' Charlie didn't see Alban's joke: but he is A good fellow all the same, and I all ways want him with me when there's anything doin. ashore or afioat"
 "Jeff's a Funny Fellow
 And a few minutes later, when. with "Charlie,' the negro captain of the flag ship, and the Englishman who serves as the ships chief engineer We were af1oat In a small pulling boat bound shoreward, "Charlie'' said in a casual way:
 "Jeff certainly is a funny fellow. He will go ashore for two or three days, come off some morning before breakfast, and

 amounts to nothing as an arm of the na- tional defense The Chuqulto and Mede- lin are wholly worthless in point of avail- ability for actual naval service. The Tres Noviembre would make as good a show ing against another boat of her class as she did against the Lauterra; but against anything bearing any actual resemblance to naval vessel she could offer no more resistance than could a paper-sheil al- mond to the fall of a steam hammer Nor Is there cause tc hope for much improve ment. Of the Chuquito and Medeiin noth- ing can be made which could possibly rank as a naval vessel. The Tres No- viembre might be converted, by the sen- erous expenditure of money, into a ser- viceable transport or an auxiliary cruiser: but until Panama procures some ships, omcers, men. guns. ammunition ans all the other necessities for naval estab.

VARYING CAUSES ASSIGNED
FOR VESTS MoODINESS

Senator Vest was always moody
man. At times he was as CHEEKY and
communicative as his best friend could
wish, while at others he was taciturn
and apparently at odds with all the
world
The late Representative Hatch. famil-
'iarly known as Farmer Hatch. was
a staneh friend Of Vest, and took
his seat in the House at the same time
Vest took his in the Senate. One OF
Hatch's friends urged him TO go over
10 the Senate one day and consult Sena-
tor Vest about some matter. Hatch re-
turned TO the House deeply wounded
through the brusque treatment accorded
him by the Missouri Senator, for he
could not understand how a man could
be such a good friend one minute and
as cross as bear the next.
Representative Hatch. however, was
persuaded to try another interview with
Vest. on the following day. and found
him genial and affable to remarkab' .
degree.
one of the Representatives constitu-
ents accredited Vests moods TO his
imagination.
''Imagination,' said Hatch. IT'S his

ComptroIler's Decision in Barracks Case
Likely to Bar Them

The status Of the machinists employed

mains without final determination.
No decision on the special subject has
been made By the Comptroller Of the
Treasury. but in an analogous ease. At
Washington Barracks, the Comptroller
has rendered a decision which would

The decision negatives. in definite ard
precise terms, the right of per diem en-

This is true in the District Of Colum-
bia as well as elsewhere. save IN those
special cases where Congress has made
a different provision. Discussing this
question the Comptroller said:
These provisions authorizing per
diem employees to receive pay on the
HOLIDAYS specified therein are distinct
from the proyisiQps declaring specified

THE United States has not sent the
European fleet to Smyrna to make war
upon Turkey, but for another purpose,
which cannot be announced at this time.
This announcement was made by a
man high in Administration circbs af-
ter the Cabinet meeting this morning.
Although no further light was thrown
on the subject by Administrator Off
Gals. the rumor is in circulation at the
State Department that the squadron IS
going to Turkey after Mr. Ldshnan
and the United States is preparing to
formally break OF diplomatic relations
with Turkey on account of the repea ted
failures Of the Sultan to grant the de-
mands of the United States.

The International Convention OF Sta
tionary Firemen convened for the second
time al 10 o'clock this morning, in the
Typographical Temple
President Thomas Healy presided over
the meeting, which was given up to
regular routine business. BY the report
of the committee on credentials twelve
delegates from Chicago. st. Louis. St.
Jose, * South Omaha. Kansas City. ST.

held in Boston last November. Com
Ynittees on the secretary-tTea surer's re-

Discussion followed on the advisable
ity of forcing firemen to take eXGmin-
ations in which they must prove them
selves capable Of taking charge OF a
high pressure steam boiler. 1t was de-
cided to adopt this course. both as a
protection to the craft and of life and
property. The meeting adjourned at u

Later President Healy said:

SENATOR AND FAMILY
AS AUCTION SALE HABITUES

In later years Senator Vest was ac-
companied about Washington by his I'M
married daughter. and often vent with
her on her errands N department stores
and other feminine haunts. Frequently
the two attended auction sales Of furni-
ture
The Senator would bid rarely but he
never failed to get the object he had in
mind. and often obtained it at sur
prising bargain. One day the auctioneer
had on sale p quantity Of old silver.
Miss Vest was greatly tempted by a
Dutch spoon, large enough for Iadle
and ornameuted with a moving wind
mill on its handle. She stood over the
case twirling the sails around for two
or three minutes. Then she turned to
her father and asked him il ne did not
think Il fine.
MY dear" replied the feeble old MAJ
without smiling IN the least. Il think its
utterly pTeposterous for any use excep:
Is a plaything for the best daughter in
the world"
a bystander heard the conversation,
and when the spoon was offered for sale
II was bought IN without opposition by a
quiet young woman who sat near little
white-headed gentleman who wore a
white lawn tie and a black frock coat.

VEST REPRESENTED MISSOURI
IN THE CONFEDERATE SENATE

Senator Vest represented the State OF
Missouri in the Confederate Senate at
Richmond during the war. and while
there came to know intimately Jeffer-
son Davis.
He had high admiration for the
President of the Confederacy. He in
sistently denied the report, published
recently, that at the Hampton Roads
conference a few months before the
close Of the war Lincoln wrote Union
at the top OF sheet OF paper and told
Stevens 10 write below IL whatever
terms he pleased. and that Davis would
not permit Stevens and the Confederate
commissioners 10 accept Lincoln
terms.
Senator Vest declared that the story
vas an invention and had no foundation
in fact.
During his term in the Senate Mr..
Vest was exceedingly popular on both
sides Of the chamber. and especially
with his colleag CUES from the Southern
and Western States. He and the late
Senator Vance OF North Carolina were
boon companions.
