If That Goes Other Naval De-

Uneasiness Caused by the Retire
ment OF Admiral Ramsey.

There is feeling of uneasiness in New
port over the retirement in few days Of
Rear Admiral Ramsey. because Of possi-
bility that Admiral Bunce may be ap-
pointed as his successor In the office Of
chief of the bureau of navigation. Ad-
miral Ramsey has always been opposed TO
the location of the War College In New
port, claiming that its proper place was IN
Annapolis as an adjunct to tho Naval
Academy there, and on several occasions
has made his opposition felt
1t Is known that Admiral Bunco leans
strongly toward the views of Admiral
Ramsey, and II Is feared lat this persist
ent opposition may result in removal of
the college TO Annapolis 1t Is not alone
the loss of the War College. that the resi-
dents of this city fear, but IL Is asserted
that once the college Is removed, the Train
ing Station and the Torpedo Station will
quickly follow. This IL il stated, would
be IA terrible blow 10 the city of Newport,
inasmuch ns for nine months in the year,
after the close of the summer season, the
naval station particularly furnishes the
only support for the business men of the
city. The three institutions mentioned
disburse for salaries and supplies each

this money is taken out of circulation in
this city, the result would bo disastrous

Could not Prevent n Fight.

of Elizabethport, n. j., 4" is the way he
described himself. He sprung to the door
of IA cab into which man and woman
had just stepped about o'clock Sunday

gerty the cabman, not TO drive them
away.
THAT woman is my WIFE, and tho man
is Bob Simsp' he exclaimed, land
there III be trouble if they don't get out +"
The couple in the cab wouldn't get out
and the angry husband went into the
park To get "a policeman. When he came
out the cab with its occupants was s
block away and going ut a lively rate.
The driver had first been told by his fare
TO drive % Elizabeth, but Ithen the order
had been changed SO that he headed for
the Market street station of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad Brown sprinted after
the cab, and before the station
was reached he was stopped three
times by policemen who made
him explain his carly morning run. He
reached the station just as the couple
stepped from the cab, and promptly at
tackled the man whom he called Sims,
striking him several times and knocking
him down, In spite OF the interference of
the woman. Several men seized Brown
and the man and the woman jumped into
the cab again, and were driven away.
They went through several streets with
Brown again In hot pursuit

suer stopped the horse and Policeman

ny with Brown the cabman whipped up
his horse ard got away. In Broad street,
near Washington Park he concluded that

the couple get out. They disappeared, and
a few minutes later Brown again stopped
the cab, but to his disappointment it was
,mpty.
He declared that bis wife had been away
'ith sims for two days Then he went

ltil eight o'clock in the morning for his
wife and Sims, but they did not appear.
