SHIP FOR PRESIDENTS TRIP.
No Man-of-War Ever Equipped So
Completely.

New York, Nov. This week the
capital of the United States will be
on the new battleship Louisiana. and
when President Roosevelt sails for
Panama he will have the finest quar-
ters ever fitted upon an American

venience and comfort on this trip, and
with the aid of the powerful wireless
apparatus which has been installed
he will be in constant communication
with Washington

the Presidents trip has been done at
the New York Navy Yard. and the
finishing touches have been put on
her New furniture has been in
stalled, one article being large new
desk where the official papers will
be kept during the trip.
The Presidents quarters will oc-
cupy nearly one-quarter of the space
of one deck, and have been made by
tearing out doors and throwing the
quarters of the admiral and captain
into one suite. They are separated
from the rest of the ship by tenn
porary bulkhead, and the President
will have as much privacy as he
would have in the White House.
The smoking room, where the
President will attend to his official
business, is in the stern of the battle
ship. There is large reception
room, where the state dinners will
be held when the President enter
tains the representatives of other
governments, and a large living
room for the accommodation of the
party. The admiral's quarters will
be used as the Presidents stateroom,
and Mrs. Roosevelt will occupy a
large stateroom designed for the ad-
miral's chief of staff There are six
staterooms and bathrooms for the
other members of the party.
