MATTERS CONCERNING
AMERICAN NAVY

Brooklyn, n. Y, Aug. Is 1t has
heen decided to overhaul the CulgCa
at the navy yards in this city during
the next few months, and take out
everything which will in any way in
terferes with the exclusive use of the
ship as a naval supply vessel. Various
propositions have been made at diff
ferent times in regard to the CulgOa,
and she has become very near being
a troublesome problem on the hands
of the naval authorities, who found
that they could not sell the vessel,
since she had been admitted to Amer
lean registry. 1t was planned at one
time to have the vessel converted in
TO a port hospital ship, and she has
carried all along a repairing outfit
which is now to be removed. Lately,
also, the suggestion was made by
Rear Admiral w. S. Cowles, chief of
the Bureau of Equipment, to have the
Culgoa stationed at Hampton Roads
as coal hulk, from which a naval
vessel on each side could be coaled
and thus facilitate the work of re-
filling the fuel bunkers. 1t has now
been decided that this would cost too
much without cOmpensating results
The CulgOa is 10 be a naval supply
vessel, pure and simple, and will
carry fresh meats and provisions from
New York to the vessels of the At
lantic fleet when they are away from
port, especially when in West Indian
waters.

HUNTING Old
CONSTITUTION PLANS

Washington, d. c., Aug. 15.-The
naval authorities are much interested
in seeking the old plans and other
information relating to the frigate
Constitution, which is to be restored

ton and appearance so nearly re-
possible. The original plans long ago
possible Tn eoriginal plans long ago
disappeared They were probably de-
strOyed by much handling. as was
often the case with such papers. The
first copy is still in existence, and is
believed TO be authentic, although
there was no such thing as tracing
in those early times. These plans
were found some years ago in lib
rary in Philadelphia, and delivered 10
the Bureau of Construction and Re
pair They had evidently been hand
ed around from one to another person
as OF no special value, even in an
historic way The officers of today
say II probably never occurred 10 the
persons who possessed the plans that
there would ever be any use for them
in a construction way. The only in
formation now missing is concerning
the figurehead of the ship. Upon that
point opinions diner, some Of the
officers holding that the ship carried
merely a scroll and others, that II
was an elaborate design. There will
be conscientious care taken 10 re-
store the old Constitution as she was

that the entire body of the people of

Il should be glad that the people of
Argentina might know the feelings

their friends, as | know the people of
the Argentine republic are friends to

II have come to South America

from covetiOn signed and ratified with
all formalities, is of vital consequence.
We make no alliances, but we make

fetal banquet given at the govern
ment house last evening by President
Alcorta, in honor of Secretary Root,
to which the diplomatic corps and the
high officials of state only were in
vited, the secretary made what is con-
sidered the most important speech he
has delivered on his tour.
Rising to tender the secretary an
official welcome and proposing the
health of Mr.. Root, the president
traced the similarity in the constitu-
tions, progress and success in over
coming obstacles in North and South
America, and dwelt especially on the
mutual advantage of closer friendship
between the races.
In replying, Secretary Root said
There are no political questions al
issue between Argentina and the
United States. There is no thought
of grievance by one against the other;
there are no old grudges or scores tC
settle. We can rejoice in each 9th

each others development, we can be
proud of each others successes with

CONGRESSMAN LONGWORTH
FAILED TO FIND SPIRIT OF
Opposition to America and Americans
of Which Some Have Spoken Other
Items of Personal Mention.

New York, Aug. l5-Discussing his
European trip while in town yester-
day Congressman Nicholas Long
worth said;
81 did not find any of the anti
American sentiment which some not
able Americans recently discovered
on the other side. On the contrary
| found every one extremely friendly
to this country. The beef exposures
created a sensation in England and
for a time there was much talk con
cerning them. But gradually the feel
ing of resentment died out and | do
not think the incident will have any
lasting effect on American business. %

parades in former years numerically
stronger than that of today, but never
were the arrangements more perfec:
and the procession more impressive
than on this occasion. In Difference

taking part in the parade a route has
been selected, less than two miles in
