r. OWED by that strong sentiment
IN N which is characteristic OF the
mi American people, Secretary of
the Navy Charles J. Bonaparte
discusses in his annual report to Con-
gress measures that should be taken
to preserve the old frigate Constitution
and to rouse memories of her glory.
The outcry that met his view OF a
year ago that such portions of the ex-
listing Constitution as proof would
show were part of the original warship
of that name be included in the struc-
ture of a modern ship OF war and the
hull broken up. has caused him 70 oner
further suggestions. Along this line he
says:
Another subject as to which there
has been much outcry against the
course of the department, or, 20 SPEAK
more accurately, against the views eA
pressed by the Secretary or the Navy
is the old frigate Constitution the
suggestion was made in my last an
nua1 report that
way the Victories of the old Consutu-
ton much OF the maIerlais
of the present ship as can pc Sh0Wn 70
have belonged to the original consul
tuition and to be also of some utility,
or at least of no detriment, on BOARD
modern ship OF war be transferred 20
a new vessel to be named the consul
tuition and that the remainder OF ehe
ship be broken up
This recommendation expressed the
view I then entertained. and still en-
tertain, as to the most suitable meth-
Cd of perpetuating the memory OF the
Gallant officers and brave and faltn1ul
seamen who served on the old rr1gat9
during her career of victory; but
Thought it possible that the idea OF
selling as junk for few dollars the
relics of this old ship might arouse
in some persons the repugnance, ex-
pressed in the we'll known poem OF Dr'
HoInes when the author exclaimed:
