been appointed by the secretary OF the
navy tc arrange for the participation
of the Atlantic fleet in the jamestown
celebration at Hampton Roads in 1907,
and to make plans and programs for
tho entertainment of the foreign fleets
which will visit the exposition and
rendezvous in Hampton Roads. Rear
Admiral Harrington, commandant of
the Norfolk yard, will head the COM
mission. and another member will be
Captain John F. Pillsbury, chief of
staff of the Atlantic fleet.
The navy department is considering
a nroposition to put the hospital ship
Relief, which is now at Mare Island
ward into commission and send her to
the great national celebration as an
object lesson how the navy takes care
of it's sick.
Rear Admiral Harrington is admir-
ablv fitted for the task to which he mas
heen allotted. He is an enthusiast on
the subject of the jamestown celepra-
tion and believes that, apart from the
alluring exposition and international
military features, it is to attract the
largest and most brilliant naval review
ever held in the worlds history. This
at first glance may see mas some
what hyperbolical view OF the prospect
but it must be remembered that the
president of the United States has IN
vited the navies of the world to De

ers got low figures, the coal men have
had a falling out, coal is selling at Sc
