SUGGESTING NAME FOR BATTLESH|P
lBy snecial Correspondent.l )

WASHINGlON, Apr. zo.--otSfetdiy o: the Navy Bonaparte is very busy man these days. The extra work placed upon him is due to the hun dreds of letters he is receiving from all over the country in which are con tained the names that people wish be slowed upon the new battleshiI which Congress is now considering The latest name is United States This is quite appropriate but a chang' in the present law would be necessary to enable the secretary to give the greatest battleship in the world" an. other name than that of state. The same change in law would be required to make it possible for the ship tc bear the name Constitution" which New England is urging as the mos fitting appellation for the new giant
 Republic" Delaware" Utah and New York" are among other names suggested. At present there is q warship named New York but 1t called after the city rather than the state, and movement is on foot to have its name changed so that the new battleship can have the name A resident of Ohio has suggested tC the secretary that since the names oi states for battleships are almost ex hausted it might be well to begin us | ing the names of presidents. This suggestion has not been seriously con | Sidered.
 Indian Visitors.
 Indians who live on westerns reSer- 1 vations like to come to Washington tC visit the Great White Father as they call the president. Hardly 8 weeE l passes that a delegation from some quarter, gaily bedecked and covered with war paint, does not slowly trudge | it's way, single file, Indian fashion. up l Pennsylvania avenue to the White House. There they are introduced to the president, and at the time presen gifts of their handiwork as a token of esteem. These presents range all the way from tomahawks to rare animal l skins, but none of them have equalled the buffalo coat presented to Repre- ] sentative Longworth. son-in-law to the president, as a wedding gift.
 The Indians have a boarding house l in Washington that is all their own. Ii is located on C st, about three blocks 1 from the capitol. The Red Mes Ho i tel is the name. and here the tired ] braves can do just as they please 1 They sit around an open fire or wraI ! themselves up in blankets and Slec on the floor in real Indian style. Ohly 1 the men come on these Journeys which are made principally to pour forth some grievance against the pale ! face Indian Agent of their reservation i or to protest to Congress against the | further encroachment of the white man upon their domains. The squawf and papooses are left at home to d' the work and prepare the celebration feast if the journey 90 Washington is successful.
 Needs New Home.
 The question of providing a new home for the President and his family is again being considered in Congres sional quarters. It is now proposed to buy the property at the head oi Sixteenth street known as "Hender son Castle" This tract of ten acre! is located on the slope of hill abou two miles directly north from tho White House and is considered one o the most beautiful places in Wash ington. The Castle" was built abou twelve years ago by ex-Senator Hen derson, of Missouri, and is occupied by him at the present time. Sena tor Foraker recently introduced a bil to appropriate S600,000 for the pur chase. This is considered a high fig ure, but it is urged that failure to buy it now would result, probably, in in creased cost in the future. The ney home for the president would be uset as a residence only. The presen
 White House would continue to serve for official uses and occasions of state
 Run by Women.
 This is fast becoming a govern
 ment run by women" declared ; Western Senator after going through
 his daily grind of letters, petitions etc. Strange" he said, that tho
 men do the voting and elect us tC
 these positions, while the women as
 sume the duty of telling us afterwarC
 what they want us to do. This the!
 accomplish by petitioning."
 To Save Frigate.
 Probably the largest number of pc
 titions received this year. outside o
 those asking Congress to save the his
 toric frigate Constitution" were tn
 thousands of letters requesting tha
 the beauties of Niagara Falls. be pre- served. Women's clubs, particularly
 have been working over time on thi one thing alone, and what stron lnlluSuCe lnsSe peIlIlOnS nave On ln
 statesmen Is shown by the remark O
 this Senator. Why" he said, ''i
 the women of the country decided the : wanted the tariff revised or the rat
 bill passed, or the coal mines nation alized, we would have it before tn men would wake up to know what ha l. happened They win every time" . Boys Have Party.
 . Quentin Roosevelt, youngest of tn presidential household, had a party a [ the White House the other day. N girls were invited. It happened | this way: Quentin is pupil at tn
 Force School. one of the aristocrati ! public schools of the city. He zoe . to school exactly as any other sma
