The announcement is made that the
government proposes to order thor
ough investigation Of the recent ocean
disaster off the Mexican coast by which
the Paclfie s~ Mail $ steamer C9lima went
to the bottom, involving the loss of
over $50 lives. If all reports are cor
rect the investigation cannot be made
too quickly or too thoroughly. It is
stated that the vessel struck no rock
Or reef as was reported at first 1t
was heavily loaded and had besides a
large deck load Of lumber. When off
Manzanillo strong wind began blow
ing. The sea rose rapidly and the
waves began washing the vessel, at
last shifting the deck load, which killed
several persons. 1t rapidly became IN
manageable and was at last careened,
when owing to it's cargo it was unable
to right itself and speedily went to the
bottom. If this be true then it appears
that passenger steamer foundered in
the trough of the sea simply because it
was loaded down like an ordinary lum-
Der carrying schooner. AS steamers
are constructed nowadays this could
not have happened but for overlooking
and shifting of coal and cargo caused
by the sudden movements of the deck
load. The only bright spot in this ter
rible disaster is the heroic conduct of
the steamers officers. Of the twenty
eight survivors twenty four were pas
sengers: Capt. Taylor, hero to the last,
stood Upon the bridge and went down
with his vessel, even signaling good-by
to the passengers His first officer was
with him. The second officer lost his lie
trying to save passengers. The third
officer was washed off the deck and was
finally picked up after he had chung to
some of the floating lumber twenty
four hours: The engineers and firemen
stuck to their posts and went down,
gentlemen unafraid," every man of
them hero The stories which have
been told of naval officers and sailors
meeting their death without wavering
in their ranks are paralleled in the
case Of the Colima, whose captain
staying by his boat at the post Of duty
and chivalrously saluting the passen-
gers, was as heroic figure as the Ad-
miral Of the Victoria or any Of the
great captains who have met death de-
family The death of such heroes, how
ever is all the more to be regretted if
it must be charged up to the greed of
the company owning the Colima.

delays are avoided, which would be ex-
pensive, for if long continued the metal
would cool and the purpose Of the spe-
cial delivery thus be defeated. At the
rolling mills the car is raised on hoist
to the mixer, the ladle is tipped by ma
chinery, and the liquid metal poured
into the mixer. Relieved of their load,
the cars amble back to the furnace at
their leisure, in time for the next trip.
About 500 tons of hot metal is thus
carried every day over this long rail-
road route. The Cleveland Rolling Mill
Company has to pay pretty figure for
the freightage, it is said, but there is
economy in the operation.-Cle

WHY SAILORS ARE SCARCE.
An Old Salt Has a Few Things to Say
ON the Subject.

An Old Salt Has a Few Things to Say
ON the Subject.
A dispatch from Washington detailed
the difficulties of the navy department
in getting sailors to man United States
war vessels. Some ideas upon the mat
ter were given to q Free Press reporter
by Francis 3. Allen, of Hartford, CT.
rear admiral. commanding the National
Association Of Naval Veterans Of the
United States. Mr.. Allen said:
THE reason for the difficulty which
exists in getting men to enlist as sail
ors on our vessels is that there is no
inducement for young men to take SER
vice with Uncle Sam in the navy. There
is no chance for promotion. The am
bilious young man can see ahead 10 OPP
portunity for either distinction OF
money-making such as he might have
in some civil occupation. The high est
position he can attain is that OF 4
petty officer. He can never get COM
mission because he was educated be
fore the mast" The officers CT cur
navy do not want this system changed.
They form sort of ariStocracy and
want all other officers like themselves
TO come from Annapolis. Thus no mat
ter how capable young man might
make himself through study to occupy
a good position, he cannot attain it. II
Decatur or Paul Jones were alive to-
day he could occupy no higher position
in our navy than that OF petty officer.
.'Things are different in the army.
An enlisted man. who posts himself on
the science Of war may apply to a
board of officers for examination. and
if he is found competent, application is
made to the President for commission
for him. and once he has his papers as
second lieutenant he is ia the line of
promotion, and may even become COM
mander of the army.
st is not difficult to get men for our
merchan, vessels, for the simple reason
that they so abroad with the under
standing that they may become mates
or captains. and possibly the owners
OF the vessel"

The Alaska boundary dispute is Il
matter of considerable importance
about which but little mas been said
through the press and otherwise in pub
lie. On account Of ambiguity in the
old treaties, the Canadians claim a
strip Of land along the coast COO miles
wide in places and several OF the best
harbors. Apparently their claim to
Mount st. Elias, the highest mountain
in North America, rests on satisfactory
grounds. But their claim to the most
valuable shores and harbors which the
United States purchased from Russia
is supported by Gully limsy testimony
and should not be allowed.
