COXEYITES DROWNED.
Boats Upset and Their Occupants Lost
in Platte River.

At least fifteen members Of the Denver
contingent of Coxey's army lost their lives
by drowning in the Platte River, Colorado.
Coroner Martin went down to Brighton with
coffns. He returned at noon, being unable
to secure any of the bodies.
Four have been washed ashore on the
other side of the river, about eight miles
from Brighton. at a point known as Nc
Kays Bridge. One man found drowned at
Brighton has been identified as Charles
McCune, a Missourian, a member Of the
Utah contingent.
They started off during the day, until
about 300 had taken passage IN twenty-six
boats which had been built OF light material
by the Coxeyites at Denver. The storms had
greatly swollen the stream, and very high
wind made navigation extremely dangerous.
1t was McKays Bridge, about six miles
above Brighton, that caused the most trou-
bic. The food poured under it with tho
speed of mill-race, and there, hidden by
the stream, were barbed wires stretched
across, to prevent the passing Of stock under
the bridge at low water. The wire caught
many of the boats and overturned them.
About $50 men afterWard encamped beside
the river at Brighton, drying their clothes
and recupeEating.

WAR COLLEGE OPENED.
Assistant Secretary McAdoo on the
Naval Situation.

Naval Situation.
The Naval War College was opened at
Newport, r. l., by Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy William McAdoo. In his address
the Secretary said he had not como to eulo-
g.ze the navy of the United States. It's proud
record was a complete answer to its bit
terest critics. 1t was exceedingly fit, he
continued. that a school for the study,
both theoretically and practically, of the
art of naval warfare should have been
founded contemporary with the National
effort to rebuild our navy. A naval nation
must be possessed Of two things
The best modern ships, we'll armed
and equipped, manned and officered and
second, the power to reproduce these as
quickly as possible when lost, or to add to
their number when desired. The mere pos
session of ships does not OF itself make a ma
ton a naval power The United States,
therefore, while it does not possess great
navy in the number Of its ships has within its
limits colossal plants, both public and pri
vate, and great armies Of skilled workmen,
led by contractors, designers, and inventors
of marked ability, and 1t Is therefore essen
TALLY and substantially capable of national
defence, and, if need be. of offensive opera
ticns
The naval problem, Mr. McAdoo said, con-
cerned US much mo1e deeply than our mill
tary progress on land. 1t was utterly impos-
sible, he said that the United States could
ever be successfully invaded even by an alli-
ance which embraced more than one of the
great military nations of Europe. The only
hope of military or political domination from
Europe on this continent could come from
dissolution of the Union as the result Of
secession. Mr.. McAdoo said that as an ad-
ditional incentive to the fact that whatever
our wishes might be, whatever theories
may have been laid down in the past
we were driven by inexorable circum-
stances into relationship toward the
whole South American continent, which
begets for US moral duties and grave ma
tional responsibilities, and from which there
was absolutely no escape. To the grand sum
Of our national wants and responsibilities it
is only short course of time when we will
have the interoceanic canal.
In conclusion, Mr.. McAdoo mentioned tho
pride he felt at the splendid pre-emtnence
given to the great naval historian, Captain
Mahan, who was so long connected with the
college.

with its cupola rising TO height of 1875 fee, ,
presenting striking landmark, visible many
miles at sea.
In a building Of such proportions and de-
signed for its special purposes, the architect
must necessarily devote much of his skill to
the securing of proper acoustics, at the same
time providing for the fullest ventilation. To
secure tho former the roof has been made a
vast sounding board, the Inns of the ceiling
being parabolic from front to rear and side
to side, while the ends are polygonal. At the
rear of the speakers platform a paraboic
sounding board is attached to the vertical
wall, and q smaller sounding board is placed
directly over the platform. By this arrange
ment the voice of n speaker is forced out
ward In such Il manner as to preclude echoes.
This arrangement is also assisted by a sys-
tenn of exhaust register placed in the floor
toward the rear. by which a gentle current
of air is drawn from the direction of the
speaker, and by the further use of fans
thrown up through the two front turrets
above the roof.
The rear and side walls Of the auditorium
arc constructed In three tiers of portable

panels. Those OF the lower tier can be re-
moved. so that the breezes of the ocean NAV
blow through the whskers of the elders and
vlbrate the flowers on the bonnets of the
young people. Sections Of the two upper
tiers may be moved TO meet the demands of
the weather. This interesting piece of archi-
lecture will cost $4,000 when completed,
and has been constructed under the super
vision of the Rev. DR.. f. II. Stokes, OF Ocean
Grove, President. General Manager and Su-

Won His Cabin Boy at a Rattle.

Captain Barratt, of the American bark
Carrie Winslow, which tied up few days
ago at pier 20. South Wharves. Philadelphia,
had on board one of the strangest prizes
ever captured in a raiae. It was nothing
less than boy, swartLy young Argentine,
Juan Baptiste by name, whom the captain
won in a rattle at Buenos Ayres.
Juan is only seven years old, and was an
inmate Of a Spanish orphan asylum at
BUenos Ayres when the Wlnslow reached
there on Ler last voyage. Juan desired his
liberty. but under the laws of the Argentine
Republic that could only be secured by the
payment Of a cash sum that would go to a
fund for the prosecution of persons taking
out the orphans and then treating them
badly. In Juan's case the amount required
was 246 and in order to secure this the en-
tcrprisiDS boy decided to put himself up in
Il rattle and sell the tickets himself. Captain
Barratt became interested in the boy to the
extent OF IS spent for tickets, and when the
drawing was announced was somewhat sur
prised TO find himself the winner.
The youthful prize has been installed on
the Winslow rs cabin boy, and though he has
now been away from his native land several
months. shows no desire to return to 1t. He
is bright and intelligent, and as he evinces a
decided disiuclination to associate with the
crow, Captain Barratt treats him as one Of
lis own family

the water. By the merest chance Kate Me
Clusker caught hold Of the upturned boat,
and held fast, shouting at the top OF her voic3
for assistance. Patrick Aspel and Thomas
Donohue, who were in Il boat some
distance from where the accident occurred,
fastened to the spot and rescued her. They

Marooney was the only member of the purity
