NAVY YARDS CLOSED.
Work Suspended Until the Appropria-
tion Bin is Passed.


Washington, June Secretary Her
bert issued an order to-day suspending all
work in navy yards that is paid for out of
the appropriations for the increase of the
navy. This is caused by the failure Of
congress to pass naval appropriation bill.

Secretary Herbert that the Joint reSolu-
ton extending current appropriations does

The naval bureaus have kept barely
within their appropriations. not over $50
600 remaining to their credit to-day. but
they may continue the services Of clerks
and workmen for another month, using
portion of the $4,000 made available
by the Joint resolution. 1t was feared at
first that all naval repairs would be shut
down and that barely sufficient money re
manned to keep the yards closed and
maintain an efficient force Of watchmen.
In that emergency il would have been
necessary to call on the army to guard
naval property. AS IL is, only 400 or 800
workmen will suffer from the order which

TURNER'S SILVER TONGUE.
The Judge Opens His Senatorial Cam
paigl.

A Large Audience Greets Him With
a Flattering Burst of Applause He
Declares Himself a BimetalIist at
the Ratio of 20 to He Defends
His Vote in Favor OF Repeal of the
Purchasing Clause of the sherman
Act.
Atlanta, Ga, June 30.-Hon Henry q.
Turner practically opened his campaign
for the United States Senate in a speech
here tonight. His candidacy has been
announced for some time, but this is the
first speech Judge Turner has delivered
in Georgia since he entered the contest.
The others in the race are Senator Pat
rick Walsh, who was appointed to sue
coed the late Senator Alfred II. ColqUitt;
A. o. Bacon and Louis +. Garrard.
Speaker Crisp may also enter the race.
Judge Turner had quite large audi
ence at DeGives Opera House. He was
introduced by Hon. \. r. Hammond.
Judge Turner was received with fatter-
ing applause. In his speech he declared
himself bimetaliist at the ratio Of 20 10
l. He declared for the repeal Of the 10
per cent. tax on state banks, and for tariff
reform.
His theme was the capacity Of the Dem
ocratic party to 90 business.
on THE FINANClAI QUESTION.
On the financial question he spoke as
follows:
What about silver? In 1892 the repre-
sentative men Of the country voicing
the desires Of both sections met To-
gether for the purpose OF reconciliation.
and the result was the democratic plat
form on which We marched to victory. A
number Of my colleagues ia the House took
changeable value Of gold and SILVER
could be secured by the free coinage
OF silver in the ratio Of l6 TO and so voted 10
the special session. ala not believe that
such parity could be restored on the basis
OF that ratio, and l furthermore believe that
instead OF checking the coinage Of silver, the
people desired to have more silver put into

satisfied with such ratio as a permanent
thing, but only as "A beginning. / have seen 10

WHY IT WAS REPEALED.
The charge IS ridiculous and absurd. We
repealed the purchase clause because OF the
panic which it brought upon this country.

ALL LOST BUT THE BABY.
The Pathetic Ending of a Working
mans Family Outing.
From the Philadelphia Press


Charles Nelson, late of Brooklyn, n. Y,
a steyedore and a Norwegian, was ambi-
tious to own sailboat After long wait
ing and much negotiating, he found one
last week that he approved, and that his
limited means enabled him to purchase,
and on Sunday he proposed to enjoy his
new possession by Il family sailing party.
He stocked his boat with luncheon, and
with his wife, their two children, q boy
OF I, and girl of Ii months, a servant
girl and sailor friend, he started out for
a sail IN New York bay. in less than ten
minutes tire boat was overturned by n
squat in the sight of / 200 people. Help
was close at hand, and the occupants
chung to the boat, but it filled and sunk
A steam launch came at all speed to res
cue the people struggling in the water,
but fate was adverse, and only the young
est and most helpless of Che lot was
saved. The rescue of the babe is thus de-
scribed in the New York Sun
"Frobably there never was more
tragic parting from a parent and from
the last living thing that cared for it than
was this babys When the sloop cap
sized and the party were thrown into the
water the baby was in its fathers arms.
AS he rose 10 the surface he held the baby
alOft IN his arms. Minute after minute
passed, and the father held it there,
treading water and keeping himself up
until help came. Help was right at hand
Men in boats were almost within reaching
distance. They could actually touch him
with their oars. One more stroke and
they would be beside him. But before it
could be taken black head rose up be-
hind him. Long arms reached out and
seized him about the neck. He screamed.
They dragged him backward and down to
death. But as he sank he tossed the
baby from him, and it was saved "
The child was breathing. but insensible
when rescued, but under skillful care she
recovered, but could give no better ac-
count of herself than by her tears and
cries for mamma and papa" Even
her name was unknown for two days.

little l6-months-old girl, whose name is
ascertained to be Ida Nelson. She has
recovered from the fright and the cold
bath of Sunday but she is still under the
shadow of great grief. The faces

she cries for do not come and the little
brother that played with and pleased her
