PRESIDENT TO REVIEW FLEET.
It Will Pass Him at Oyster Bay on
September 8.

The largest fleet Of battleships, armored
cruisers and torpedo craft ever assembled
under the American-sfla will pass in re-
view before President Roosevelt in the wa
tiers off Oyster Bay on September 8 next.
In addition to all the battleships In the At
lantic fleet under Rear Admiral Evans
four of the new ships, all of them bigger
and more powerful than any In Admiral
Evans fleet will be in line. The four
armored cruisers now being made ready
for the Asiatic service will be reinforced by
the cruisers Washington and Tennessee
The Tennessee was put In commission last
week. The Washington will be commits
stoned this week
The Navy Department has been at work
for weeks perfecting the plans for the re-
view. Admiral Evans will be In command
his flag flying from the Maine. AS 1t passes
in review the Maine will be followed by the
Missouri, Kentucky, Kearsarge, Alabama,
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa in the order
named. The last four ships comprise the
second squadron of the battleship division
of the Atlantic feet.
The order In which the four new battle
ships will pass in review has not been an
nounced 1t is probable that this division
will be headed by the Louisiana, which will
be followed by the Rhode Island, Virginia
and New Jersey. These four ships are the
finest in offensive and defensive strength
ever commissioned for the United States
navy. Their appearance at Oyster Bay will
be the beginning of their services as ships
of the fighting line.
All of the armored cruisers, with the ex-
ceptian of the Brooklyn and the New York,
now in Asiatic waters, will probably parti-
cipate. The four sister ships, the West Vir-
GINA, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Mary
land, which are under orders to proceed to
Asiatic waters to relieve the Ohio and Wis
consin, will make their last appearance in
home waters for several years to come.
Immediately after the review these Ships
with Rear Admiral Brownson in command,
will start for the far east.
The torpedo vessels that will be reviewed
by the President those in the second
and third fiot4las of the Atlantic fleet, the
former under command of Lieut.. Com
mander Edwin A. Anderson and the second
commanded by Lieut.. Willis Mcdowell
The vessels are the Hopkins, Lawrence,
Macdonough, Whipple, Truxtun and Wor-
den comprising the second fiotilla, and the
Wilkes, Blakesley. De Long. Rodgers and
Stockton, which make up the third flo
tilla.
The President will probably review the
ships from the deck of the dispatch boat
Dolphin. With him will be Secretary of
the Navy Bonaparte, Assistant Secretary
Newberry, and probably other officers of
the navy, including Admiral Dewey

Quoted China.

The promptitude with which Uncle
sam strengthened the armed force in
the Philippines at the first rumors
Of trouble in China is the real rea-
son why the slant-eyed Celestials
haven't gone on the warpath again
and INDUCED in their holiday pas
time of butchering foreigners. This
is the statement of Consul Gracey,
who left Foochow about the middle
of March, when he called at the state
department this week. He said that
every indication pointed to trouble
until the report spread that the
American troops in the Philippines
we're in momentary readiness to take
the field, and that the garrisons there
were being strengthened steadily.
This report OF grim preparation did
not serve to quiet the Celestial mind,
but 1t did result in putting a decided
quietus on the Celestial plans for an
anti-foreign demonstration.

John DIS Spelling.

The recently published letter OF
John ID. Rockefeller in which the d.
gestionless oil king spelled gentle
man with a j; advice with an S, and
made various other departures from
accepted photographic standards has
brought some curious results. First
and foremost 1t is plain that he and
Andru Karnaga (revised spelling)
are about to corner the spelling of
the country in another great monop-
oily. Secondly, 1t has shown that mis-
spelled words are not uncommon,
even in high places. A close observer
in Washington has pointed out the
fact that the word judgment, as it oc-
ours on the Lincoln statue, is SPELL
ed judgement, and that on the mon
ument of Gen. Doubleday in Airing
ton 1t is noted that he had been in
continuous service. After all, per-
haps John D., was only poking fun.

NOTES OF NATIONAL CAPITAL

Washington, June L. Not in ma
ny years has there been such a COM
plete "one-issue" congress as the
present one. All its early work was
looked upon merely as a prelude TO
the railroad rate bill. and its actions
since the passage of the measure
have been looked upon merely as
something to fill In until the bill
comes from conference. When that
happens. everyone expects that the
rate regulation congress" will fit.
Just as Rome was to last as long as
the Coliseum, so the present con-
gress will last until it has the rate
bill of its hands-and very little
longer. There is comparatively lit
tie active discussion of the measure
now. Everybody seems to have said
everything he could say. The real
service of the senate in amending the
measure is made more apparent by
recent disclosures since it is pointed
out that the two provisions in the
Hepburn bill likely to be of greatest
value-those against rebates and I'M
fair Determinations inserted
as amendments by the much reyiled
senate after the bill had passed the
house without providing a remedy
for these abuses.

In spite of the fact that congress
at this session has established rec
ord for the number of new pensions
allowed, the decrease by death and
from other causes more than keeps
pace. During last month there was a
net loss to the pension roll of 2,153
names, leaving at the end of April
an army of just 9S7,S06 pensioners
to draw bounty from the government.
The total loss from all causes during
the month was as follows: By death.
4,91S; by remarriage. 10; minors by
legal Limitation, SC; by failure to
claim, SO; from other causes, 20.
The actual number of survivors OF
the Civil war, soldiers and sailors, is
