clal.) The action of the State Legisla
ture, branding the Stat School for th
Blind aa a "fire-trap," "stigma on, th
stste." rotten from ceiling to founda
tion." and similar remarks yesterday
haa amused much sentiment here. When
the legislator were here February IS
and visited th Institution they com- j
mended th management of the schools
for the deaf and blind, but realize that
what Is urgently needed Is more money
for buildings, repairs and maintenance
Thomas P. Clarke, superintendent of
the State Schools for the Deaf and
Blind, who has held that position for
ix years, today aaid that ne aamiu
conditions are not as they should be
but that he was powerless to make them
otherwise without sufficient appropria
tlons. which hav been Inadequate In
th past. H says tha trouble has been,
not with the Legislature, but with the
Board of Control.
Legislature Gives Money.
When asked today If the Legislature
ver refused to grant him any appro-
nrlstlon asked. Mr. Clark said:
"The Legislature has appropriated for
both schools every cent th -state ttoara
of Control has ever askd. Four years
a so tha Lee-tslature appropriated 125.000
for the building of a boys" dormitory, for
which the Board did not ask. l weni

"At th earn tlm I asked for an ap
propriation of $3500 to make repairs on
the inside orth tsenooi lor me uuuu.
Thla was cut off entjrely. During the
following two years I made repairs
amounting to WOO. which money waa
saved from the table. Th money was
actually taken from money appropriated
to bur th children' food. Two years
ago I asked for an appropriation ui
i - . i e
$.1500 to repair th School for me enna
Inside, and 11200 for outbuildings ana
fences. The Board allowed $2000. During

Brooklynites, who are never so happy
as when they have a grievance, are
now camping on the trail of Police
Commissioner Cropsey. In the outly
ing sections, where the official protec
tion is scanty, residents have been
driven to the necessity of hiring pri
vate watchmen, who look after certain
streets and houses for a small sum a
week. As these men are often com
pelled to make arrests, it has been the
custom to make them special police
men, which clothes them with author.
Ity, but does not cost the city a cent.
Of course It Is understood that any
man who abuses his powers, promptly
loses his shield, and no one objects to
that. But Cropsey has taken away the
badges of every one of these men, and
refuses to tell why he did it.
Polios employes of the American
District Telegraph and similar cor
porations have not been interfered
with, which gives rise to the charge
that someone is attempting . to compel
private citizens to patronise these big
companies, or turst in Providence for
protection. So the Brooklynites are lit

OLD WARSHIP WANTED V
CALIFORNIA WOULD KEEP
PORTSMOUTH AS KELIC.
Xavy Department Asked for Ship
Which Has Mexican War Kecord.
Boat May Be Repaired.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. Final dispo
sition of the famous United States
ateamship Portsmouth, a warrior of oth
er days, is being considered by the Navy
Department. The old wooden sailing
vessel Is desired by California as a relic
because of her historic Interest to the
Pacific Coast In the war with' Mexico.
Whether the state will get her de
pends on the result of an action Just
taken by the Navy Department.
A general survey of the Portsmouth
has been ordered by Secretary Meyer
to determine these three questions: The
cost of fitting her for a voyage from
New York to California, there to be
preserved as a Naval relic; the cost of
preparing her for the use of the marine
hospital service to replace the James
town, and her value, ehould she be of
fered for sale.
This old warship has a notable rec
ord. When hostilities broke out with
Mexico the Portsmouth was in Paclllc
waters. On July 9, 184S, she hoisted the
Stars and Stripes at Terba Buena, now
San Francisco, and rendered valuable
service along the Western Coast.
Later she woe sent to Africa to aid
In the suppression of the slave trade.
The archives of the Navy Department
show that on her African mission, her
crew took a pledge against the use ot
intexicants in order to safeguard them
selves against the ravages of fever pre
valent there. The old vessel then be
came known as the "temperance ship."
In 1856, Just before the outbreak of
the war between England and China, the
Portsmouth, under command of Com
mander Foote, stormed the barrier forts
of Canton, China, because the Chinese
had fired on an American vessel en
gaged in the protection of American
property. She also saw service in the
Civil War, being with Admiral Farragut
at the mouth of the Mississippi.
The Portsmouth long has been stamped
as unserviceable for war purposes, and
since 1895 has been used by the Naval
Militia of New Jersey, which has been
ordered to deliver her at the New Tork
Navy-yard by March 3. She was built
at the Portsmouth. N. H-, Navy-yard In
144. Her displacement is 846 tons and
she cost $170,586.
