HELP FOR THE WEALERS.
Far From Home With Nothing tt
Eat and Little to Wear.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The body OF
men styling themselves the Industrial
Army. in camp at Roslyn. Va. opposite
Washington, finding themselves in bad
straits, have issued an appeal to the public
fer aid. The appeal rec:tes the sufferings
OF the men in journeying hither and the
object of coming here. and announces that
while at war with hunger. wretchedness
and despair they propose to stay here un-
less forcibly removed until their demands
are granted.
Continuing the appeal says: "The en-
campment is to-day nearly destitute Of
provisions and means of shelter. and it is
absolutely necessary that the friends Of
this movement should come to our ilDme-
diate relief We therefore make an earnest
application 10 all who can contribute
something for our support TO do so imme-
diately."
1t is stated that upward of 1000 men are
encamped at Washington and vicinity and
that others are arriving daily. Complaint
is made of mismanagement, presumably
by Coxey, and friends Of the movement
are urged to organize boards of relief to
assist the men as soon as possible. The
same request is made of labor and reform
organizations.
Members of nine contingents sign this
appeal.

CHANGES IN THE NAVY.
Officers Retired That Others Nav
Get Their Step.
1t Has All Been Done by Agreement,
so Everything Is Pleas
ant.

WASHINGTON. July 28.-A big naval
deal, involving important promotions and
retlrements. is progressing satisfactorily
to all parties concerned. Admiral Joseph
Fife has already been retired with the
highest rank, and Comm odore G. S. Stan
ton has been nomin ated and confirmed as
an admiral. The commission of Admiral
Stanton was issued by the President to-
day and will be forwarded Immediately to
that officer, reaching him probably at New
York on Monday. According to the pre-
arranged plan Admiral Stanton has ap-
Piled for retirement under the forty years
service law and his application will be
granted without delay. This will result In
the promotion of Commodore Henry Erben
to the grade of admiral next week and his
retirement will speedily follow.
The effect of these two retiremenis will
result 10 the early promotion of Commo-
dores r. w. Meade and Charles C.. Car
| penter. The retirement of Admiral Stan
| ton will cause a vacancy in the command
of the North Atlantic or home station,
which will! be filled by the assignment oil
Admiral Meade, who will, however, sub.
stitute the New York as flagship of the
| station in preference to the San Francisco
as at present.
1t is settled that the New York, under
command of Captain Evans, will remain
on the home station, whether flagship OF
not, and that she will not go abroad as the
flagship of the European station.
One reason for this determination Is the
great expense tnat would be involved in
sending the New York away She will
not be sent on long cruise unless abso.
lutely necessary for the protection OF
American interests.
The retirement OF Admiral Erben will
| vacate the command of the European sta
tion. That will be filed, however, by the
| assignment Of William E. Kirkland, now
in command of the South Atlantic station,
who will transfer his flag within the nexi
few weeks. Admiral Carpenter is now on
his way to Yokohama, Japan, to resume
command of the Asiatic station, recently
vacated by the retirement of Admiral
Skerritt. No one has as yet been selected
to succeed Admiral Kirkland in command
of the South Atlantic station.
