EVENING STAR has a regular d@ permanent Family Circulation much more than three Umes as large as that of any other paper, moraing er evening, published in Washing- ton.

That Dispatch of Forrest's. How small a matter may cause a great rversion of history is shown in an article published in another column of The Star. concerning the effect of a recently dis- covered dispateh sent by General Forres: from Missionary Ridge to Gen. Poik during the move rarrowlyescaped having this message con- spicuousty exploited in future histories of the war of the rebellion as the crucial dis patch of the war, the very point that de- termined the fate of the confederacy. Such has been pronounced to be the opinion cf Gen. Lon eet, who was the foremos figure in the Confederate successes on th: field of Chickamauga. It was this messag: from Gen. Forrest, in the opinion of Gen. that determined Gen. Bragg’s Longstreet plans. and enabled Gen. Rosecrans to re- arrange his lines and fight to a victorious conclusion. This view of the case, how- ever, depends on the assumption that For- rest was right, at the moment he wrote his dispatch from Missionary Septem- ber 21. in believing that ns ut and possibie, was preparing to r from the trap in which had caught well, and the be ail very dispatch of Forrest would probably hay« played an impressive pari in future bis tories of the war, If it were not that there is livi eral idier who fought on the Fe who is quite as competent cerning the movements abou: . from a Federal point of vicw ongstreet is to discuss them from the Confederate standpoit authority is Gen. Hi. V. Boynton, and a interest and important interview with him concerning the Ferrest dispatch is given in The Star today. This shows that the message written under such dramatic conditions by Gen. Forrest was insignific in its effect upon the outcome of the battle: that as a matter of fact at the hour For rest was deceived into believing that the Union army was doing its best to get away from Chattanocga to a place ef safety, Gen. Rosecrans was preparing for combat, ans h disposed of his lines in a masteriy manner, ready for the final siruggle, ane had no thought whaiever of abandoning the field. So it turms out afier all that the fate of the confederacy was not determined by the dispatch of Gen. Forrest, and luckily the matter has been brought to public ac- tention early enough to cnable competent nority lo settle the question and pre- vent war histories of the future from at au taching exaggerated importance to the document ——C— The Funding Biil.

S. frigate Constitution and her removal from Kittery, Me.. to the Wash- ington navy yard. It was also a patriotic request, recognizing the wisdom of lo ing at the National Capital all such reiics of the formative and preservative period of the nation’s history. It was, as weli, a sensible thing to do, under all the cumstances, and the excellent reasons ad- vanced in the petition presented to the Senate yesterday by Mr. Hear should ap- peal so strongly to the committces that the small appropriation necessary will be granted without delay. The Constitution is the most famous of America: war ships. As the memorialists note, it has been as- serted that it was her broadsides that in half an hour eighty-four and a half years ago gave the young republic the rank of a first-class naval power. Her name is as- soclated with the most glorious period of the history of American seamanship, and her fame and the resultant public interest in her are too national in scope for her further location at Kittery, where she is accessible only to @ very small number’ of people. New England has always felt a peculiar and yct a natural foval pride in the old ship, for she was built in Boston and represented the best days of the ship- building industries of the northeastern sec- tion of the Union. This neighborhood in- terest has hitherto prevailed to prevent the removal of the vessel, but now that so. old ard influential an organization as the Massachusetts Histerical Society has over- looked the relatively narrow bounds of a local sense of proprietorship into the broader field of national interest there should be ro further postponement of the day whea this pricelees relic of an carly struggle to retain the liberty so dearly pur- chased will be brought to the city tHat now guards the equally priceless document that gave the gailant ship her name and which she so well Gefended. The Star is glad to note this increasing tendency io regard Washington as the appropriate repositery ef such things as the ship ‘Jonstitution. The proposition to create within her walls a naval museum that will represent the maritime history of the republic is worthy of the warmest approval. There ts suf- ficient material at hand to build up in this way a most interesting mstitution, at- tractive and instructive to thousands cf visitors. ——__ + « > ___ The New York Grant Monument will be dedicated in April.

Bliss of New York, de- spite Whitelaw Reid's objection that Mr. Bliss is “too plastic.’ ‘The Herald says “Some important consequences follow the selection of Mr. Bliss. The probability that he will be Secretary of the Navy, or, poss!i- bly, Postmaster General, takes a prospec. live Secretary of State or Secretary of the Treasury away from New York. Not hav- ing either of the leading Cabinet offices, its claim to some of the best foreign missions will be allowed. 1 gather that it may have two Ambassadorships. However, in the filling of these positions, there may be seme vinegar in the sweet oil for Mr. Platt. “Whitelaw Reid is marked for conspicu- cus honor to reconcite him to what he may consider the McKinley administration's concessions to the opposition. I hear that the sequel to the decision to place Mr. Bliss in the Cabinet will be the nomination of Mr. Reid as Ambassador to Great Bri- tain. If not the Court of St. James, tt wil be ‘some other important post, though I have been told that, having been Minister to France, the only other diplomatic posi- tion he would care to consider would be Great Britain.” Furs “Cut.” 0006 Going to divide profits wee yon. on ine oii geeks tg ees eae B.
