IN MEMORY OF FREMONT.
One Appraisement Of the Services Of
the Pathfinder.

From the New York Times.
Mr. Rockefeller has doubtless verified
the associations OF the place where he
proposes to erect fountain i'm honor Of
the memory of John c. Fremont. though
that gallant and erratic gentleman Is
usually connected in the public mind with
Georgia and Missouri. The plan will be
gratefully regarded by those who can re-
call the excited times when he was the
first candidate of the republican party
for the presidency.
He was Very far from being a states
man, or even a capable political leader.
But he helped Stockton capture Cali
fornia. His explorations. pursued with
the utmost energy and hardwood, had
given him the title of 1.-The pathfinder.
He was a pronounced opponent of slav-
cry, and a pathfinder, IL only a leader to
point the way straight ahead. was what
the rising anti-slavery sentiment of the
nation at that time called for. 1t was
not greatly to his disadvantage that, as
an officer of the United States Army, he
had been found guilty OF INSTRUMENTATION.
His election was hopeless from the first.
but his name served very well as sym.
Dol for the new party.
The great change that was wrought in
the country in the next four years was
clearly indicated by the difference be-
tween Fremont, the adventurer and SOL
der of fortune, and Lincoln. the stead
fast, strong, pure and patient statesman
and party leader. The former was not
easily reconciled to that change. and gave
the President much trouble, which the
latter bore with invincible magnanimity-

thought that there would be enough
water in the Mississippi during the June

the Naval Battalion, N. G. d. c.
This vessel will be broght to
Washington for the temporary use of the
local citizen sailors until ii Is found pos
sible to relieve the United States con-
verted yacht Wasp from duty with the
New York naval militia.
Papers now are being prepared at the
Navy Department for her removal from
Philadelphia to Washington. 1t Will be
necessary for Commander Dempf to pick
a crew Of officers and men to go to Phila-
delphia to bring the vessel here, and by
the time he receives the formal order
from the Navy Department he Will have
a crew of officers and men ready to de-
part Immediately for Philadelphia.
The temporary assignment OF this vessel
to the Washington naval militia is due to
the efforts of Commander Joseph A.
Dempf and his aids. Commander Dempf,
with one OF his aids, called upon Acting
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt at his
Office the latter part of last week. The
successful cruise which the battalion had
on the battleship Alabama was pointed
out TO Mr.. Roosevelt. and the acting Sec
rotary agreed with Commander Dempf
that the local sailors should have ves-
sci i'm order TO continue their training.
He called in the officer in charge of ma
val militia affairs, and together they all
went over the vessels available for naval
militia purposes. Finally the Sylvia was
decided upon. and Mr.. Roosevelt gave in
structions to have her prepared for the
trip TO Washington. Notice of her tenn
porary withdrawal from the Pennsylvania
naval militia has been sent to the Gov
ernor OF Pennsylvania. AS soon as the
Wasp arrives in Washington the Sylvia
will be returned to Philadelphia for the
use of the Pennsylvania militia.
While this vessel is not quite as large
or as fast as the Wasp. there was alb
solutely no chance of getting the Wasp
here at the present time. The New York
militia is getting a number of cruises
out of this ship and as long as they are
using her Mr.. Roosevelt thought 1t not
good policy to take her away until she
was replaced
Orders were issued some time ago for
the Wasp to come TO Washington, but
her departure depended upon the sailing
of the gunboat Isla de Luzon from st.
