NEGROES INDIGNANT,
Wrought Up Over the FIagIer
Shooting Verdict

Shooting Verdict.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-The Flag
Ter tragedy of yesterday was almost
duplicated today when a young colored
boy was shot by a servant of the
Japanese legation, while stealing fruit
In the yard in the rear of the lega-
ton. The shot struck the boy in the
arm and is not dangerous. The negro
population of the district is consider
ably excited over the Flagler shoot
ing, and an indignation meeting has
been called for next week to protest
against the verdict of the coroner's
jury.
In every alley in Washington this
morning there were gathered crowds of
colored people muttering and threaten
ing all sorts of retaliation upon the
whites Cooks, nurses and chamber
maids, who went from their service
places to their homes last night good
natured and contented, came around
this morning with sullen faces and
surly dispositions. The colored people
say that had the race of the killer and
the killed been reversed there would
have been a decided change in the
verdict of the jury. For the past
month or two there has been de-
veloped a great deal of feeling of
luminosity on the part of the negroes
towards their white neighbors, which
has grown out of conflicts between
the blacks and the police and the I'M
fortunate killing of two or three
colored people. In the neighborhoods
where the blacks are thickest some of
thelr leaders openly advocated war
fare on the whites today.

Opening of the Great Craving
Dock at Southampton. 7E"iq

Opening of the Great Craving
Dock at Southampton. 7*"lq
SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 8. 1.-The
Prince and Princess of Wales and the
Duke of York arrived here today and
formally opened the new craving deck,
said to be the largest dry dock IN the
world and able to accommodate the
largest ships af1oat Torrents or rain,
however, spoiled the decorations and
thoroughly dampened the enthusiasm
of the crowd.
The opening of the new dock by no
means indicates that the dock work is
completed. In three months time two
additional berthing stages will be
opened alongside the craving dock,
each of which will be capable of ac-
commodating two ships of the Paris
and New York type, end on. Along
side the craving dock a Sumptuous
lunch had been prepared in one of the
dock houses, covers being laid for 200
persons, and on the edges of the dock
stands had been erected from which
the visitors viewed as best they could
in the rain the opening ceremony. The
Prince of Wales pressed the lever by
which the Sluice gates of the great
dock were opened. While the process
of filling the dock was going on the
invited guests repaired to lunch and
by the time that function was over
the dock was full. Then the dock was
Inspected and the dampened visitors
went away. Among the 400 guests
were the Duke of Wellington, Lord
Portsmouth and the Earl of North

Rasmussen's Clerk, MOrinrity,
Told to Look Elsewhere Than
in the Navy Work.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Acting
Secretary McAdoo today announced
the conclusion of the navy depart
ment in regard to the court of in
quiry appointed to inves tigate al
legged irregularities in making pay
ments on the receiving ship Yer
mont, usury being charged. He Sc
verely criticizes the court of inquiry
for lack of thoroughness, and says
the department is thereby emSar-
raised in arriving at a conclusion.
He adds, however, that enough has
been obtained to show that there
have been Irregularities, and pay
ments made in violation of the navy
law, and in at least two instances
loans have been made by Paymaster
Woman J. Rasmussen at usurious
rates of interest, and that when the
men were paid by the paymaster's
clerk, W. V. Moriarity, the amounts
and interest We're deducted, the men
signing false receipts. Mr. McAdoo
closes his statement by saying that
the best interests of the service will
be subserved by the following
course: First letter censuring Capt.
Casey for his failure to observe the
naval regulations respecting pay
ments to the crew of the vessel I'M
der his command; second, a similar
letter to Paymaster Tiffany, he to
be placed on furlough when he has
completed the settlement of his &C
counts; third, the appointment of
w. V. Moriarity as paymaster's
clerk is Immediately revoked and he
to be informed that the department
will not approve Of his selection for
appointment by any paymaster or
permit his entrance into the service
in any capacity in the future; fourth,
Jeppe Rasmussen to be discharged
from the service, with an indorse-
ment on his discharge to the effect
that he is not deemed a desirable
