proposition to send the old frigate Con-
stitution, which has been moored at
Boston for many years. to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. The prepara-
tions for sending the fleet have been
arranged by the President. who has
been dispatching officers hither and
thither on errands connected with that
work. 1t was the President, also. who
directed that only young Captains
should be detailed to command the bat
tleships, as it is desired to have some
capable :oung men trained for the pig
Navy places.
Difficulty of Finding Commander.
The necessity for this Is obvious.
There are now % Peal Adwirals on the
active list of the Navy. Ranking all
of them is Fighting Bob Evans, who
is to take the fleet around the Horn
and into Pacific waters. But Admiral
Evans is near the retiring age, and OF
the 81 other Rear Admirals there is
hardly one to whom the Navy Depart
ment would dare entrust a fleet of any
such proportions as that which Is 60
ing to the Pacific. Some of the II are
ret deemed competent even to COM
mand a single first-class battleship.
There is aversion to putting the old
er Captains forward into good COM
mands, for most of these have but five
or six years to serve before retiring.
They will be Captains for three, or four
years longer and then Rear Admirals
for a couple of years. So the Presi-
dent is picking the ablest of the young
Captains-men who are along in the
4Os. and have eight or 10 years more
to serve before reaching the retiring
age. From this number will eventually
be selected the feet commanders Of
the future.
The status of affairs in the Navy is
not altogether conducive to bringing
out the best there is in men. The Of
ficers are all well trained. but the temp
tations become strong to drift along
with as little work as possible. Nearly
all Navy officers have great deal of
leisure, which is devoted to social and
convivial pleasures, neither of which
is likely to bring out strong military
qualities. Promotions come by senior
ity of service, and as far as rank and
pay are concerned it makes little diff
ference whether an officer exerts him.
self to do the very best work possible
for the Government or whether he is
satisfied with mediocre efforts.
Secretary Metcalf has been in con-
sultation with the Bureau Chiefs since
his return, and has taken up the plans
for the transfer of the fleet, as fash
ioned by the President, and is doing
all he can to expedite them. He has
also done up" a number of the false
rumors about himself, but it is hardly
probable that the Secretary will de-
part again for a vacation of two and
a-half months so far away that he can
not keep in touch with what is going
on in his Department.
