WASHINGTON GOSSIP
-v v -
) By our special correspondent
If a bombshell bad been explod
ed in the Navy Department it
would not baye caused more con-
sternation than the(ecitement that
prevailed when tb$ news arrived
that England’s three new fighting
ships which were reported to be
notning more than armored cruis-
ers were to be first-class battle-
ships more powerinl even than the
famous Dreadnaught It was this
latter named terror of the sea that
caused Congress last winter to au-
thorize the construction of a war-
ship as powerful as that new Eng-
lish fighting machine and now
Secretary Bonaparte has become so
deeply interested in the reports
about the new English vessels that
he has directed the Board of Con-
struction of the JTavy composed of
several of the highest ranking
naval officers in Washington to
investigate
The new battleships have less
displacement than the Dreadnaught
but according to reports and predic-
tions which seem authentic they
will make greater speed They
will carry eight twelve-inch guns
having as great a broadside fire as
the Dreadnaught Until the Board
of Construction thoroughly consid-
ei? the new type of English battle-
ship gathering what information
it can about the vessels it cannot
be predicted what the American
navy will do The conclusions of
the Board will doubtless be made
the subject of a report to the Secre-
tary which is likely to figure pro-
minently in Congress this winter
when the matter oi building new
ships is taken up
The great Congressional Library
is growing at a tapid rate yet its
growth is not as fast as the govern-
ment officials' would like to see
Congress appropriates only 9oooo
a year for the purchase of new and
valuable books but this sum does
not begin to buy many of the
volumes that are badly needed
The library at the present time has
1500000 volumes compared to
the 2000000 books in the library
of Great Britain and the 3000000
volumes in that of France In
speaking pith yojirjorrespondent
Librarian Putnam'said:- Since
printing was invented there have
been some thirteen millions oi
books printed Hundreds and
thousands of these are pot in ex-
istence and as many more are so
rare that the government library
cannot compete for them with the
rich men of tb - country The
millionaires can afford to pay more
for the books than we can with our
limited appropriations We do not
seek the rare ones so much as those
that are useful and our aim is to
secure a collection serviceable to
the people of the United States
WO take a specialty' of ‘ American
works and shail continue to do so
- More trouble i brewing for the
meat packers Chicago commis-
sion merchants are in 'Washington
to lodge a protest with President
Roosevelt against 'the refusal of
Westeren express companies to
carry the carcasses of the calves
killed by the farmers It is claim-
ed that the packers will not take
the meat from the express com
panies because It does not bear a
government stamp The individual
farmers have not the facilities for
government inspection as enjoyed
by the packers and the refusal of
the express lines' to handle this
home killed product involves the
loss of thousandS'ef dollars to thd
farmers' 1 v " “ 7- J '
Before calling ppop the President
the friends oi the farmer visited the
Agricultural Department and saw
Secretary Wilson who informed
them that there is mo ruling in the
meat inspection regulations to war-
rant such action on the part of the
carrying companies President
Roosevelt gave them every consid-
eration and promised to have the
matter remedied at the earliest
possible moment The1 packers
will probably be called ‘ to account
for unjust discrimination
The teeth oi a President require
the services of a jJentUt just the
same as do those belonging to 6th-
er mortals but the ordinary citizen
raraely if ever 'has 'an experience
when’ visiting the dentist like that
in which President Roosevelt figur-
ed this week It was ‘ all due to
the fact that the President’s carri-
age is so well know'n and is so easi-
ly recognized by people on the
streets of Washington Leaving
the White House about noon- the
President drove to the office of a
fashionable dentist on L- Street
Only a few people saw him enter
the house but not -many minutes
passed before the few had increased
to a larger number and at the end
of an hour when Mr Roosevelt
appeared the street was blocked
with pedestrians bicycles and
vehicles of all descriptions He
was greeted with an echoing cheer
stepped quickly into the carriage
and was soon at bis desk in the
White House office With the ex-
ception of the President everybody
seemed to enjoy the occasion huge-
ly lie appeared to be troubled by
an unpleasant memory
Famous Pennsylvania Avenue
has been the scene of many notable
processions and parades but none
more original or unique than that
which is to take place next week
when the youngest veteran of the
Union Army will march by himself
from the Peace Monument located
at the foot of the capitol steps to
Fort Neyer Heights across the
Potomac r-iver in Virginia a dis-
tance of more than five miles The
distinction of being the youngest
private enlisted in the Union Army
therefore the youngest veteran be-
longs to Abram F Sprinstein a
clerk in the Pension Office He
was but eleven years old when he
enlisted in Co I Sixty-third
Regiment Indiana Volunteers al
though he gave his age as fourteen
The unique part of the “parade”
will be that this veteran proposes
to beat his drum which he had
during the Civil War continuous-
ly from the time he starts until he
arriyes at the end of the ronte and
all because he desires to celebrate
in this odd way the forty-fourth
anniversary oi his enlistment He
claims he can beat a drum a longer
number of hours than any person
living and offers a wager for any
man to parade with him under the
same conditions So far no volun-
teers have appeared
People of New York State are
making strenuous efforts to se-
cure the attendance oi President
Roosevelt for two consecutive days
at the Jamestown Exposition next
year These are New York day
and Robert Fulton day The Ful-
ton Monument Association is try-
ing to have the dates so adjusted
that one will follow the other thus
assuring a greater interest in the
movement by the citizens of the
Empire State It is understood
that the President will attend the
opening ’ of the Exposition but
those interested1 in New York’s
share are anxious that be also be
present on the two distinctively
New York days During the last
two weeks there" have been more
delegations from all parts of the
couotry seeking the attendance of
the President at dedications open-
ings and various celebrations than
in any other two weeks during the
present administration
