THE OLD SAILING SHIPS.

Why the Wooden Ones We're Better
Than Those Built of Iron.
The sailing ship when knew her in
the days Of her perfection was a sensi-
BILE creature. When say her days Of
perfection I mean perfection Of build,
gear, seaworthy qualities and ease Of
handling, not the perfection Of speed.
That quality reached its highest ex-
cellence in the discovery Of hollow
lines and departed with the change Of
building material.
None Of the iron ships Of yesterday
ever attained the marvels Of speed
which the seamanship of men famous
In their time had obtained from their
wooden, copper sheeted predecessors.
Everything had been done to make
the iron ship perfect, but no wit Of
man had managed to devise an efficient
coating composition to keep her bot
tom clean with the smooth cleanness
Of yellow metal sheeting. After a
spell Of few weeks at sea an iron
ship begins to lag as If she had grown
tired too soon. 1t is only her bottom
that Is getting foul.
A very little affects the speed 6f a
ship that is not driven on by an untir-
ing propeller. Often 1t is impossible to
tell what inconsiderate trife puts her
of her stride. A certain mysterious
ness hangs around the quality Of speed
as it was displayed by the old sailing
ships commanded by competent sea-
men. In those days the speed was
still matter for the seaman's care.
Therefore, apart from the laws, rules
and regulations for the good preserva-
ton Of his cargo, he was careful Of his
loading. of what is technically called
the trim Of his ship. Some ships sailed
best on an even keel, others had to be
trimmed quite one foot by the stern,
and have heard Of ship that gave
her best speed on wind when SO
loaded as to float couple of inches
by the head.-Joseph Conrad in Har-
per's Weekly.

Rossini was intolerably jealous Of all
his musical contemporaries and partic-
ularly Of Meyerbeer. In 1886 he heard
1.-THE Huguenots," and on listening to
the performance from the beginning to
the end he made up his mind that Mey-
erbeer had excelled him and deter
mined to write no more. He lived un-
til 1858, but produced nothing for the
lyric stage. His thirty-two years of re-
tirement were spent in the pleasures of
voluptuary. He was particularly fond
Of good eating and drinking and as
sembled about him the youngest and
gayest society he could attract to his
house.

WAR
SHIP WILL CD
To HAYT|EN PORT

Washington, March 30.-An Ameri-
can man-of-Nar will be sent to Port
Au Prince to protect American inter
ests. This determination was ar
rived at yesterday when the state de-
partment received a cablegram from
Minister Powell saying that serious
trouble is impending in Hayti and it
is doubtful whether the authorities
can maintain peace and order on
March 81 and April J. The state de-
partment Immediately requested the
navy department to dispatch a war
vessel to Port Au Prince.
J. N. Leger, the Hayden minister in
Washington. said last night that he
was greatly surprised TO hear of
Minister Powells cablegram. as he
was not aware of any threatened trou.
BILE in his country. He has tele-
graphed the president of Hayu for in
formation. The minister had a talk
over the telephone with the Haytien
commissioner at New York. who said
he had received a dispatch from the
president of the republic and that it
contained no reference to a possible
uprising. The minister is unable TO
understand why the specific dates
of March 81 and April l are mentioned
as the dates on which 1t is doubtful
whether the authorities can maintain
order. So far as he is aware there is
nothing of an unusual nature to occur
on these days.

NEW DEPOT.
1t Is Practically Settled that Mad
son Will Soon Have New
Depot.

Madison is TO have a new depot to be
| built by the Milwaukee company. The
| Daily Leader has it from an official
source that the company has formally
decided to build. The new depot may
not be built this year, but preparations
| for it will be made this year. The
company has not reserved to itself as
mdchroom at the present depot site as
| its desirable. having been generous in
giving up elevator sites until room for
its own building facilities are consider
ably hampered at the point they desire
to use for depot purpo 'es. 1t is design
ed to move the old depot to point on
Third street south of the Lake Park
hotel and also move the company s coal
sheds to another point, thus making as
much room as possible for the new
building and platforms. This change
will require considerable time and work
in addition to a Encouragement of side
trackage, and may be done this year.
The new depot is designed to be built
of stone. similar to the one in use at
Aberdeen. and will cost in the neigh
borhood of 500, 600. The impol tance of
Madison as a division point has been
taken into consideration by the officials
of the company and it is their purpose
to make substantial improvements which
will be lasting. The officials have real
lied for some time that their depot ia
cities here have been inadequate, and
in reply to Madison's application for
better facilities say what is for Madi-
son interest is for the interest of the
company and they expect to go on and
make the Improvement as soon as pos
sible.

FEDERAL OFFICERS.

Officers as Seen by
Correspondent.

Sioux Falls dispatch, II: lnasmuch
as the rumor is in circulation that
President Roosevelt has decided not to
reappoint for a third term E. G. Ken
nedy, United States marshal for South
Dakota, and James ID. Elliott. United
States attorney for South Dakota, spec
ulation has become rife as to who will
be appointed their successors in the
event tnat the Iumor that they will not
be reappointed proves true.
These are the two best appointive
offices to be filled by President Roose.
welt in South Dakota Before discuss.
ing the names of men who are talked of
as their successors it can be stated tnat
both Mr.. Kennedy and MIR. Elliott have
made enviable records during their
incumbency of the offices of United
States marshal and United States at
torney, and have many friends who had
hoped that they would be reappointed
to their present positions.
The man most prominently mention
ed for the position of United States
marshal for South Dakota in the event
that change is made lis Seth Bullock
of Deadwood, personal friend of Pres
ident Roosevelt, and at present super
visor of the Black Hills forest reserve.
The desire of President Roosevelt 10
give Mr.. Bullock a more remunerative
position than the one he now holds was
indicated a month or two ago, when he
offered Mr.. Bullock the position of
United States marshal for the district
of Alaska. But MI. Bullock was op-
posed to leaving South Dakota and
therefore declined the offer. As the
United States marshalship for South
Dakota would be more to his liking and
more remunerative than the Office of
supervisor of the Black Hills. forest re
serve, and would enable Mr.. Bullock to
retain his residence in South Dakota,
it is safe to predict that If the pla ace is
rendered him he will accept it.
Would his appointment be satisfac-
tory to what is known as the organiza
tion or Kittredge faction of the party
in South Dakota Some say it decided
ly would not, and if made by the presi-
dent would cause an open rupture be
tween President Roosevelt and the con
gressional delegation from South Dako-
ia, and an effort might be made in the
United States senate to defeat confirm
alton of the appointment.
Others who speak with equal author
| ity say Mr.. Bullock s appointment, if
made, would oe fairly satisfactory TO
the organization forces of South Dakota
and their leaders.
Those who declare the appointment
would not be satisfactory to the fepub-
liean state organization say that the
organization has selected Frank A.
Morris. of Huron. at present United
States surveyor general of South Dako-
ia, as the successor of United States
Marshal Kennedy if the president re-
fuses to reappoint the latter.
If this is true, and President Roose-
velt appoints his friend, Mr.. Bullock,
