OLD FRIGATE'S FINAL BERTH
Constellation to Come to Permanent
Anchor in the Potomac River at
Washington.

Removal of the famous old frigate
Constellation from the naval training
station at Newport, r. l., to d perma-
nent location III the Potomac river at
Washington, is proposed in a bin re-
ported favorably to the house Of rep
resentatives by the committee on
naval affairs AS the committees ac-
tion was practically unanimous the
early passage Of the measure appears
probable. The Navy League OF the
United States and other patriotic or
ganizations are behind the project and
are earnestly advocating favorable ae-
tion.
Suggestion that the old ship be
transferred to Washington was first
made by Rear Admiral Victor Blue,
chief OF the bureau of navigation OF
the navy department, in his annual re-
port to the secretary. The rear ad-
miral believes that the Constellation,
as historic relic. will prove Of great
interest TO the thousands of sight
seers who annually throng the capital
city.
The frigate Constellation is the old
est naval vessel built by the United
States government and was launched
at Baltimore in 1874. 1t was one of
squadron Of four ships intended for
the protection Of American shipping
against the Algerian corsairs. The
lofty whiteoak sides of the ancient
craft still bear the honorable sears re-
ceiyed in the naval war with France
in 1899. in the conflict with the Bar
barry pirates and in the strife with
England in 1872. It is the present in
tention of the authorities to anchor
the irigate ia the tidal basin, a land
locked lagoon connecting with the
Potomac, in which the gigantic image
OF the Washington monument is re-
fected. At the head Of this basin
stands the statue of John Paul Jones,
the father of the American navy,
while a short distance away the huge
memorial to Lincoln is soon to rise
