MISTOOK CLOCK WINDER
FOR CANADIAN MINISTER
Return of Charles S. Hamlin to
Treasury Recalls an Anus
ing Incident.

The nomination OF Charles S. HaInlin
! OF Boston TO be assistant secretary OF
the Treasury has recalled to old Treasury
employees a humorous incident that
occurred when Mr.. Hamlin occupied the
same position during the Cleveland adj
ministration. This is the story:
The minister OF finance of Canada came
to Washington to discuss customs mat
ters. and Secretary Of the Treasury Car
Isle notified Mr.. Hamlin, who had charge
Of customs questions, that the minister
was in the Treasury Department and
would call upon him.
In few minutes q man of distinguish
ed bearing, with flowing side whiskers
and trinity dressed I'm a frock coat, en-
tered the assistant secretary's office. Mr..
Hamlin greeted him effusiyely i'm a man
ner becoming the dignity OF a foreign
cabinet onicer. They clasped hands and
each bowed in courtly fashion. The
greetings continued at the bowling stage
until the Treasury official discovered his
visitor was deaf. He then yelled his
words Of welcome and the stranger, who
seemed nonplussed. suddenly swung his
free hand from behind his back and pre-
sented salad fork. with the exclama-
ton:
Don't you think 1 made a good job
of it?'
The visitor OF aristocratic mien was
found to be the Official clock winder of
the Treasury Department, who had re-
paired the fork for Mr. Hamlins private
secretary.
Mr.. Hamlin had to repeat the perform
ance when the real minister arrived.

Since they have been on the road they
have worn out six horses, having but
two with which they started fifteen

trip began.

peared at the capitol to meet Gov.

BIG ARMORED CRUISER
TO REPLACE TRANSPORT
Employment Of the Washington as a
Receiving Ship in Line With
Present Naval Policy.

The big armored cruiser Washington,
the swiftest Of her class in the navy, will
replace the transport Hancock as re-
ceiving ship at New York August 8. The
Hancock will be used to develop the
plans of the Marine Corps for an advance
base station at Philadelphia, which will
involve her being kept in readiness for
instant departure with full battalion
of marines and all Of their equipment to
any part of the world wherever they
may be needed. She will carry 1900 ma
rines to Guantanamo, Cuba, this winter
for battle experiments between that point
and Culebra, West Indies.
The employment OF the Washington
as receiving ship is in line with the
new policy of retiring all the old timber
vessels used for that purpose and thus
familiarizing the naval recruits with
the complicated mech anism of a modern
warship from the very moment they
enter the naval service.
The Washington will be kept in readi-
ness for sea service at short notice, her
engines being turned over daily and a
skeleton crew of trained sailors form
ing the nucleus for a full complement.
The battleship Maine is similarly serv-
ing as a receiving ship at Philadelphia,
and the armored cruiser North Carolina
