made DR.. Patton an American citizen,
according to American law, even
though he was born on British soil.
But according to English law any one
born on British land is subject of
Great Britain. and 1t is held that DR..
Patton has the right to regard himself
as a subject of King Edward. He pre-
fers to consider himself an American
citizen. but has reivlined from declar-
ing his citizenship in order to preserve
his rights to an ancestral estate in
Bermuda and pass these rights on to
his children. 1t is said the estate
might pass to the crown were he to
declare his American citizenship. DR..
Patton is we'll known as theologian
Of the conservative type. The New
York Herald relates that while travel.
ing recently by rail he called the porter
to bring him table Of some sort. AS
the colored official disappeared the
reverend doctor took from his valse
bundle Of papers preparatory to sort
ing them. The porter returned at once,
eyed the doctor knowingly and finally
sought the end Of the car. When he
came back. so the story goes, he car
ried with him a bottle, glass and a
decanter.
"What's thisY said the reverend
gentleman.
The porter grinned from ear to ear
ana winked.
T told you to bring me a table or
something" said the clergyman.

gait Those ON deck had to brace
themselves against the wind.
In the trip to the Philippines no such
speed as this will be maintained. 1t
is probable that the fotilla will steam
only about nine or ten miles an hour
most of the time, SO as to cause those
on board as little discomfort as possi-

carry two officers and twenty-six men
except the Bailey, the flagship Of the
feet, which will carry three officers
and fifty-six men. To accommodate so
many men, the armor and the coal the
boats are necessaril!s" crowded. The
Dupont and Porter have coal bunker
capacity of sixty tons each, and their
steamng radius is 5000 knots when
proceeding at the rate Of approximate
ly fourteen miles an hour. The slower
the speed the less is the amount Of
fuel consumed. 1t Is believed that the
voyage can be made in perfect safety
so far as the problem of coal supply is
concerned.
A cruise of this kind is a severe test
of the endurance of the men on board
the ships, for they have to put up with
many discomforts. The vibration Of
the vessels when under good headway
makes sleep difficult, the rolling Of the
light craft in the waves often makes
serving of freshly cooked food imprac-
ticable, and other conditions inevita-
Bile on such voyage add to the hard
ships to be suffered. To give the men
opportunity to maintain their health
1t is expected that more than one-half
Of the time Of the voyage will be spent
In port.
Those taken on this cruise will all be
young men, mostly from twenty-five to
thirty, as none but those in the vigor
Of youth could stand the fatigue and
hardships which the voyage will In
volve. Their digestions must be such
that prolonged diet Of canned meat
and vegetables will have no terrors for
them. 1t is the policy Of the navy de-
partment to give the officers and men
of the service experience with the prob
lens liable to be met in different quar-
ters of the world where there are
American interests to protect In ac-
cordance with this policy, as well as
for the purpose Of test cruise. the
torpedo boat flotllla Is being sent on its
long voyage.
The FIVE boats cost the United States
about $1,0O0,OO0 The most expensive
member Of the feet is the Bailey,
which cost $4,000, exclusive of her
armament. She is the largest Of the
five vessels, being 2O5 feet In length
by 10 feet beam and having draft Of
about Z feet. She has displacement
Of $50 tons, and her engines are ca
pable of driving her through the wa
ter at the rate Of thirty five miles an
hour.

The torpedo boat Dupont and her sis.

the officers of the United States navy
are especially proud. Much is expected
from them In the test cruise which is
to be made from the Atlantic seaboard
to the Philippines by five torpedo
boats. The Dupont has amply demon
strated her seaworthy qualities al.

Spanish war which caused her to be
much talked about, steaming 1900

their class. Both We're built In 1895,

have each Il displacement of 165 tons,
three one-pounder guns and three

were built by the HerreshOff company,
famous for its racing yachts. The Du-
pont was given her official trial for
speed in August, 1897. Admiral Dew
ey. then commodore and president Of
the naval board Of inspection, congrat-
ulated the Herreshoffs at the conclu-
sion of the performance on producing
an ocean fiier of such stanch quail
ties.
The Dupont made an average speed
on its official trial of 2S.6 knots, or
about SO statute miles. At one point
on her course she made fully 80 knots,
