THE YOUNGEST MAN IN THE SENATE He Took the Oath of Office Yes- terday Afternoon. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER A Senator ceased to be and another Sen- ator began to be at 3:24 o’clock yesterday afternoon. This ceremony does not often occur in the middle of a session, though it is quite common every two years on the 4th of March or early in December. This dissolving view had as its chief performers Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Jarvis of North Carolina, and the transformation was the more complete in that it destroyed a demo- cratic Senator and produced a republican. Mr. Jarvis, accompanied by a man of mid- dle age and height, rather blond in hair and mustache, clad in a black frock coat and appearing somewhat nervous amid his sur- roundings, stood beneath the blue dial at the south entrance of the Senate chamber— that famous old clock on which Capt. Bas- sett acts so shamelessly with Time on cer- tain official occasions. Mr. Pritchard Sworn In. Mr. Jarvis, who has been a Senator from North Carolina for some months, as the man selected by Gov. Carr to fill the va- eaney caused by the death of Senator Vance, held a roll of paper in his hand. When he secured the eye of Senator Harris, who had been sent for in haste, he an- nounced that he held the credentials. of “Hon. Jeter C. Phillips’’ as his successor. The new statesman fidgeted about a bit when Mr. Jarvis pronounced this name and appeared to whisper something. Mr. Jar- vis became nervous, too, and corrected him- self, to say that his successor’s name was Jeter C. Pritchard. Then the machine for making Senators moved smoothly as ever, and in a few seconds, the credentials being read aloud, the transformation took place. Mr. Pritchard raised his right hand, while Senator Harris read the oath with his slow, impressive voice, signed the book, and presto! Mr. Jarvis was a plain citizen once more, and the mountaineer of the north state was a Senator of the United States. ‘The New Senator's Seat. Immediately Capt. Bassett took posses- sion of the newcomer and led the way to his seat, which 1s at the end of the second rew on the republican side, on the north edge, next to Senator Chandler, and imme- diately behind Senator Wilson. It is a very convenient seat from which to get out of the chamber, which is an advantage for a new man, who is always besiexed by constituents who want things, such as garden seeds and postmasterships. Mr. Chandler was right by the side of his new neighbor to become acquainted and to make him feel at home. In a moment Mr. Pritchard was surrounded by republican Senators, who escorted him to the cloak reom in a few minutes, and kept him pris- oner there during the afternoon,while they listened to his story of how he and Marion Butler carried the state last fall. ‘The Youngest in the Senate. Mr. Pritchard is now the youngest man in the Senate, being but thirty-seven years of age. Mr. Butler, who will be his col- league after next March, fs but thirty-one, just one year beyond the constitutional limit for Senators. Mr. Pritchard is the first republican to sit in the Senate from Nerth Carolina for twenty-two years. Sketch of His Career. Senator Pritchard was born in Tennessee of poor but honest parents. When a boy of ten he started to walk from Tennessee to North Carolina, with ten cents and a chicken sandwich in his pocket. He stop- ped at Bakersville, N. C., a little town at the foot of Roan mountain, and applied fer work and food at the office of the country newspaper. He got both, and commenced his career as a printer's devil. He worked hard and identified himseif with the republican party. He first got a small appointment in the irternal revenue service. He was premoted gradually. He married a Miss Bowman, the daughter of a prosperous farmer, who was also a re- publican. He was the nominee of his party for governor of North Carolina in ISS. In 1890 he was a candidate for Congress. Uoth times he was defeated. Marion Butler conceived the “fusion” scheme with the republicans, and Jeter Pritehard was his foremost ally. The scheme succeeded and -“fusion”” won by 3,000 majority. A Talk With the New Senator. Senator Pritchard of North Carolina at- tended the republican caucus today, being the first North Carolinian to be entitled to that privilege in the Senate for tw: two years. He has been warmly by the republicans, and made to feel quite at home. Indeed, he ts no stranger to Washington, as he told a Star reporter this afternoon. “I have been coming to Wash- ington quite frequently of late years,” he said, “to attend to my law practice. T have had a good many cases before the internal reverue bureau of the treasury arising out of the distillery laws. I rep- resent, as you know, a section of the coun- try that ts quite largely interested in such matters,” and a twinkle escaped from Mr. Pritchard’s blue eyes as he said this. He ts considerably above medium height, and in fact is quite a giant among such men as Senators Chandler and Quay, near whom he sits in the Senate. He is stopping at the Ebbitt House, and will probably make that his headquarters for the pres- ent. He is married, and has two children, but they have not accompanied him to Washirgton on this trip. Mr. Pritchard was asked by the reporter if he knew whether Mr. Marion Butler, who will succeed Senator Ransom after the 4th of March. will sit with the republicans or democrats after taking the oath. Mr. Pritchard frankly admitted that he did not know. Mr. Butler, he said, is a populist and was elected as such. He reallaed, of course, that the location of Mr. Butler's seat will necessarily have considerable in- fluence in the organization of the next Senate, but he indicated that Mr. Butler has not yet fully determined on his exact course in the Senate. Mr. Butler is now in North Carolina attending to the publication of his newspaper, and may possibly not come to Washington until It is time for him to take the oath of office. Mr. Pritchard has not yet been assigned to any committees in the Senate and may not be for some time, a de! ocrat, it may be diflic him in the vacane! used by the retjrement of Mr. Jarvis, this mig subli- He rv Jarvis’ probably oc- headquarters for the time being. piss s SEeaee emer see ae Persenal Mention.

THE CASTINE’S CRUISE She is Getting Ready to Go to Madagascar via the Mediterranean. Th: Longest Route, but the Cheapest —The Hovaws’ Opposition to French Agegressions—A Recent Outrage. The work of preparing the gunboat Cas- tine, now at New York, for her long cruise to the Island of Madagascar, on the east coast of southern Africa, is progressing satisfactorily. According to the latest ad- vices received at the Navy Department, the vessel will be fully equipped in every respect and be ready to sail on the 2d proximo. This will be the first cruise of the Castine sirce she was increased four- teen feet in length to insure her stability and her performances will be watched with interest in naval circles. A similar opera- tion to her sister ship, the Machias, now on her way to the China station, was emi- nently successful, go there is no reason to doubt a different result in the case of the Castine. A Long Detour. The statement that that vessel had been detached from the South Atlantic station, in order to send her to Madagascar is er- roneous, inasmuch as that islend and most of the Indian ocean are included within the boundaries of the South Atlantic sta- tion, wrongly supposed to be confined to the waters of the South Atlantic, washing the east shore cf South Am ‘a and the west shore of Africa. The orders of the Castine to join that squadron have not been changed. Instead, however, of pro- ceeding directly south, to report to the commanding officer on the flagship New- ark, at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Castine will make a wide detour. This is done for the purpose of visiting ports on the east coast of Africa, and in Madagascar, to see that the long neglected tnierests of the United States in that quarter are prop- erly respected by all other governments. The Most Economical Reute. In making this trip, the Castine will take the longest route for the simple rea- son that it is the most economical. The most direct way from New York to Mada- gascar is across the Atlantic and around the Cape of Good Hope, at the southern extremity of Africa. The distance is about 9,000 miles. The drawback to this route is the difficulty and expense of procuring coal. And for this reason the Castine has heen ordered to make the trip by way of the Mediterranean sea, the Suez canal and the Indian ocean. This route adds 1,100 miles to her cruise, but lessens its expense in the matter of coal. That necessary equipment to a steaming vessel costs from two to three times as much cn the South Atlantic route as it does en the European route, and experts have figured that the latter, though much longer, is the cheape: in the end, and consequently the most ad- visable to follow. American Interests In Madngasenz.

A Recent Outrage. ‘A recent dispatch from Tamatave say “Among the mest provoking of the out- rages committed by the French marines was that upor. the persons and property of two American citizens, one of whom was ex-Consu! John L. Waller of Kansas, in the home of an American named John Dub- Mn. Mr. Wailer was at the time seated in the doorway of his friend's house, smok- ing, when three French marines, having frightened awey all the natives In the neighborhocd, approached. They caught sight of Mr.Dublin’s wife and,probably mis- taking Mr. Waller for Mr. Dublin, insult- ingly demanded that he deliver Mrs. Dub- lin to them. Mr. Waller immediately com- manded them to leave the premises. They refused to go, and further demanded that Mr. Waller supply them with cigars. This he also refused, and again commanded thera to leave. One of the marines became very angry and wanted to know why Mr. Waller did not run, and if he were not afraid of Frenchmen. Mr. Waller told him he would not run, ror was he afraid. The iaarine drew his ‘side arms and advanced on Mr. Waller, ring that he would cut his throat. M Waller raised the ch: upon which he had been seated and warn- ed the intruder that if he ad step he would brain him. This warlike demorstration cooled the Frenchman's blood and he went away. While Mr. Watler was thus engaged the two other marines anced another had entered another apartment of the house, insulted Mrs. Dublin, stolen a num- ber of articles, d decamped. Mr. Waller and Mr. Dublin immediately made a com- plaint to United States Consul Wetter, who made an investigation of the facts and re ported the case to the French resident, but up to date no further action he matter has been taken.” ——— STREEL ONSTRUCTIONS. Bill for Renting Parking Suggested by a Committee. The Commissioners gave a hearing this morning to a delegation of business men, representing the lumber dealers, wood- working factories, tron foundry and ma- chine shop owners, of this city. The dele gation consisted of Mr. Thom: Smith, A. Belt, H. L. aa A Gal Norwood, Schneider and Thon Stevenson. Smith acted as spoke: for the delegation, and remons einent of the order he side- He requested the Commissioners to nmend a bill to Congress providing for the renting of such t of the parking as the Commissioners deem expedient, for the display of t and merchandise, on those streets which would not re the beauty of the city. Mr. Smith, in reply to a question of Commissioner Ross as to what streets were represented, named the following: Ohio avenue fr 12th to 15th streets southwest, B str between izth and 15th streets southwest, Water street from Long bridge to arsen. wall, Georgia avenue from New Jer avenue to 4th street southeast, New York avenue between 5th and 6th streets, 6th street between New York avenue and K street, K street between 7th and 10th streets southwest, Sth street from I to K streets southwest, Maine avenue from 3d to 6th streets southw 13th and lith streets from B to C streets southwest Massachusetts avenue from to streets, and 8th and 9th streets beween C and D streets southwest. Mr. Ross suggested that the committce draw a bill to be presented to Congress, and the Commissioners would assist them in getting the bill passed. —>—_—_ To Be Examined. Joseph L. S. McCarthy, the young man whose peculiar conduct on Pennsylvania avenue yesterday attracted attention of pedestrians, as printed In The Star yester- day, was orf Pennsylvania avenue again in the evening, and then he was indulging in speechmaking. He told his several hundred hearers that he was President of the Uni- ted States, and would probably have talked all ‘yt had not Policeman Hamilton ar- rested him. When he appeared in court this morning his conduct showed beyond doubt that his mind is affected. He told Judge Kimball that he had been seut by God to preach the Christian doc- trines of nature. When his brother, Charles McCarth: called to tell of his condition the pr importuned him to keep quiet and let Lieut. Boyle do the talking. When the court made a suggestion that he be examined the prisoner said he wa willing to be examined by any physicians whom the court might appoint, and said he was perfectly conscious of his surround- ings. Judge Kimball committed him to jail for examination. wa: AFFAIRS INGEORGETOWN Conversions at the Reyival Meetings in the West End. Many Other Notes of a Personal, Local and Gcpera{ Character— St. John’s Church. ee Last night’s contersions at the Baptist Church brought §he number that have professed the faith up to forty-two during the past week. Rev. George E. Truett as- sisted Mr. Elsom, the revivalist, at the services, singing if a sweet voice “While the Day is Going By.” Tonight he will sing “The Great Day Is Coming.” Mr. Truett is an old and beloved pastor of the Gay Street Church. The revival was heav- iy attended last night. Many Washingto- nfans were present, ard the greatest inter- est was evinced in the proceedings. The sermon of the occasion was upon ‘Final Judgment.” Men’s Club. ‘The chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Ardrew belonging to St. John’s Church, Georgetown, has re-established the Men's Club. The rooms were opened yesterday at 1212 Potomac street. They will be open from 7 to 10 p. m. on week days. The Men’s Club is designed to give enjoyment to those occupied in mechanical and other such employments during the day. The appointments of the establishment are ample and the management hospitable. It is a second homesfor the young men, and one that is greatly appreciated. The Rev. J. Thompson Cole, assistant rector of Epiphany Church, will preach on Sunday evening at 7:30, St. John’s Church. The meeting will be for men only. A Concert. There was a concert at the Colored Bap- tist Church, corner 27th and Dumbarton streets, last night, containing several novel pumbers. One of particular interest was the solo of the thirty months’ old grand- child of the pastor, Rev. Sandy Alexander. The effort wes very creditable. The con- cert was for the benefit of the church. Notes. M. Velinda Chapman and husband, Leon- ard S., yesterday sold to Ruth A. Bogley ‘4, in Rollins’ sub, square 96, of Beall’s addition to Georgetown. Fifty-six new letter and paper boxes have been placed about Georgetown, and the county. and cart belonging to the West End Ccal Company backed over a dump in the rear of 234 P street this morning, and the former was killed, and the cart be- came a wreck. —— THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL. It is Expected to Reach Washington Today or Tomorrow. Pope Leo's long expected encyclical ex- tending the power and dignity of Monsig- ror Satolli, and defining the status of the | American church, fs now suspended be- { tw ew York and Washington, by the formalities of the custem office. The im- pertant decument arrived on the French steamer Burgoyne last Saturday, in care of | Pitt & Scott, customs forwarders at New York. It 1 bec}] expected in the usual course of the mail, but,the precaution had teen taken to seud the package as an article of express. Mesars. Pitt & Scott no- tified N Satolli of ,the arrival of the decument, and word was sent them to for- ward it to Washingtoa-at the earfest pos- sible moment. They bave answered that this would be done as soon as the package could be got through the customs office. As kage contains no dutiable matter, ome surprise at the delay. It 1s expected, however, that the customs for- ialities may be concluded, so as to bring the encyclical to Washington today or to- mcrrow. The greatest interest attaches to the declarations cf the pope in this paper, as }it is looked upon jas likely to be the most comprehensive statement of the attitude of the vatican toward thé Catholic Church tn America that has ever been made. The gene features of the encyclical ate pretty well known, although interest is now directed to the,exact language in which the pope will establish Mgr. Satolli’s enlarged jurisdiction. It is certain that the document does not create the American delegate a cardinal. There has been much misapprehension on this point, and fre- quent reports have been circulated that Mer. Satolli's elevation to a cardinalate would be coincident with the promulgation of the encyclical. While there fs no doubt of the delegate’s ultimate elevation, it will not be a feature of the encyclical, the vati- | can consistory. not yet having been assem- | bled. It is the consistory which designates ¢ inals, and this meeting is not expected before April. The chief interest in the encyclical lies in the enlarged authorities it gives to the American deiegate. Until the document is made public the precise nature of these new duties and powers are largely con- jectural. ‘There is no doubt, however. that the dele- gates’ functions are materially extended. At the outset Mgr. Satolli’s mission was somewhat tentative, but it is believed the encyclical will make it permanent and will it final and supreme jurisdiction over iplinary questions and cover all the in- ternational questions between _ bishops, prie: and parishes in which matter of discipline are involved. It is understood 0 that the Catholic University will be a theme to which the pope will pay special attention. Bishop Keane, the rector of the prsity, visited the pope last summer, and the intimation was then given that the institution would receive that conspicuous recognition to come from papal commenda- tion in an encyclical. AN AGED BANKER’S ME. R. Morgan of Binghamton. Confesses His Dishonesty, N. Y., The news of the suspension of the two ba: at Binghamton, N, Y., yesterday spread rapidly, and when the news of the attempt to sieal the books was noised ad a panic was created. All the other city banks were beseiged with depositors all day long. The Broome County National lank was the repository for the city and county funds, amounting in all to nearly 300,000, But the sensation of the day, however, was reserved until the afternoon, when the confession of Treasurer T. R. Morgan of the banks to Examiner Backus was made public. The New York Tribune corre- spondent saw Mr. Backus and learned that Morgan had confessed to embezzling nearly 310,000, and also to forgery on several oc- casions. He has changed the bank records, made false entries and erasures, and his embezzlement had caused the wreck of the savings bank, Examiner Backus sald he had hardly looked into the books before he saw that there had been crooked. work. He accused Morgan of defaulting, but he denied it. Later on, when more proof came up, the bank official was forced to acknowledge his gullt.. He made a written confession to the examiner later, and yesterday his evident intention, when removing the books, was to cover up the traces of his guilt. When the examiner discovered the true state of affairs he forbade Morgan and Brownson to be at the bank. Their entrance yester- day is nothing short of burglary, and this with Morgan's confession of stealing gives sufficient ground for @ criminal action against them both, Mr. Morgan is seventy-nine years old and has been one of the most respected citizens of Binghamton, He is one of the trustees of Christ Episcopal Church. He served the city one term as mayor. Mr. Morgan was also a prominent Odd Fellow, and, in- deed, was custodian of the Binghamton Lodge’s funds to the amount of $20,000. ‘The lodge contemplated building a chapter house with this, but it is feared that his P lations have been extended to this Morgan refuses to see any one. +o+ Death of Judge Rannells. Judge William J. Rannells of Ohio died at his residence on 14th street extended early this morning from congestion of the lungs. He was a native of Ohio, but made his residence in this city since 1889, when he was appointed an assistant attorney un- der Attorney General Miller for duty in the Court of Claims. He held that office up to the change of administration in 1593, since which time he has engaged in the practice of his profession in this city. He was about fifty years of age and stood well in his professfon, um. MORE BATTLE SHIPS The House Committee Report on the Naval Appropriation Bill. PROVISION FOR NEW TORPEDO BOATS An Increase Recommended Over the Amount Estimated. THE VARIOUS ITEMS ————— The report on the naval appropriation pre- sented to the House today by Mr. Talbott of Maryiand shows that the bill carries a total of $31,807,023, an increase over the estimates, which were $30,952,006. The sum given to the bureau of navigation is $159,000, and is a material reduction from the estimate, $307,250. The estimates for the increase of the navy were $13,259,392, while the appropriation 1s $13,777,521. Of this increase over estimates $50,000 is for armor and armament and $463,200 for con- struction and steam engineering. Regarding the enlistment of 2,000 more seamen, which is provided for, Mr. Talbott says that while the increase has been de- nied before, the time has arrived when it can no longer be delayed; but that the committee has allowed only half of the amount asked, as it is not likely that the whcle number authorized will be enlisted during the next fiscal year. The refusal to grant the estimate of $125,000 for barracks for naval apprentices at Coasters Harbor Island is based on the ground that the construction of barracks is not considered necessary, the committee having grave doubts as to the policy of training naval apprentices in barracks ashore. Equipment of Vesnels. The allowance fcr the bureau of ord- nance has been increased $1,131,081 over the appropriation for the current year, in- cluding $150,000 for a modern battery for the Hartford, and $500,000 for reserve guns for auxiliary cruisers. In support of the provision for reserve guns and ammunition, the report of the Secretary of the Navy is quoted, showing that in case of war with Great Britain she could promptly furnish guns for her mer- chant marine on the great lakes. The special item of $185,000 for equipment of vessels in excess of the appropriation under the bureau of equipment is caused by the commissioning o: the Columbia, Minneapolis, Montgomery, Marblehead, Cas- tine, Machias, Olympia, Cincinnati and Ra- leigh, all new vessels. The increase of $542,- 523 for yards and docks over the allowance for the current year consists mainly of $100,000 for extraordinary expenses at the Brooklyn navy yard and $280,000 for the completion of the Puget sound navy yard, which the Secretary of the Navy, from per- sonal inspection, considered necessary. New Battle Ships. The most important feature of the report is the discussion of the necessity for the three new battle ships and twelve torpedo boats provided for. Mr. Talbott says that the necessities of our geographical posi- tion have been carefully taken into con- sideraticn, and the committee is forced to the corclusion that the continuation of building battle ships is of vital importance, These vessels are sald to be equally well adapted for defensive and offensive opera- tions and especially suited for the defense of our coasts. The superlative value of the battle ships as compared with any other type of vessel is said to have been well exemplified in the battle of the Yalu river, where the Chinese fleet would have been destroyed but for two battle ships. The Japanese fire was directed mainly against these, one of them having been hit about 400 times, yet they were so slight- ly injured that their efficiency was prac- tically unimpaired, and Mr. Talbott says it is doubtful if they had been properly manned and handled whether the Japanese would have been victorious. He further says: “In the opinion of the committee there is no necessity at the present time for the building of any other class of vessels than those recommended. The consensus of the best military expert opinions of the present day places the bat- tle ship in the first line of defense against a foreign foe. Its tactical position is in the line of battle of the fleet, and it is distinctly the primary fighting element of a navy. “The cruiser, of which your committee is satisfied we have a sufficient number at the present time, is tactically a scout in time of war and in time of peace is the type of vessel ordinarily used to protect the country’s interest abroad and to per- form general naval duties in foreigu wa- ters. “An argument frequently used against battleships is that their cost of mainte- nance is excessively great as compared with all other types of vessels; but ibis your committee is satisfied is not true. In time of peace, which will be the condition during the greater part of the life of a battleship it can be much more economical- ly maintained than a cruiser of the same or even of less tonnage.
