REAR ADMIRAL OF TURKEYS
NAVY EN- ROUTE TO NEW
PORT NEWS


PORT NEWS.
The Evening Telegram of Newport
News. in its issue OF Tuesday, says:
The Turkish Government contem-
plates strengthening it's navy. and 1t is
hlshly probable that the Newport News
Shfpbuilding and Dry Dock COMPANY
will be asked to bid on large cruisers
for the Sublime Porte.
Rear Admiral Ahmed Pacha, engin-
eer in chief OF the Turkish Navy. has
just arrived In New York, for the pur-
pose Of inspecting American warships
and methods of naval and ordnance
construction with the view of contract
ing for one or more cruisers.
1T was thought that his mission to
this country was connected with some
work of diplomacy, but he denies this
and makes the following statement:
II shall doubtless visit the different
naval stations of this country; perhaps
so as far as San Francisco, but will
give special attention to the navy yard
at Brooklyn and the shipyard at New
port News. When 1 have reported to
the Sublime Porte the result of my
study. then 1 may make some pur-
chases.
' From what could learn of the de-
sires of the Sultan in conversation with
him, he is anxious to increase the PROV
ess of his navy. I Will not give the
reasons. l will not say whether we fear
Russia or England or any other country,
but. at any rate, we see that our navy
must be put on basis with Western
countries. From what we have seen
and learned of the American Navy. it
seems that there could be no better
place to learn modern methods of con-
struction than In America. Again, it
| is a neutral country. one which would
not view such a visit with suspicion. I
was selected for the mission because l
am Engineer in Chief of the Turkish
Navy
Nothing could be learned here this
afternoon relative to the Admiral's pro-
posed visit to the shipyard or whether
any negotiations had been entered in
to. General Superintendent Post has
just returned from New York, where

THE ELECTION TODAY.
The Question of a Constitutional
Convention to Be Voted Upon.
Tho Proposition VIII Easily Garry in the
City. But There is Doubt as to the
County : Independents Opposing the
Regular Democratic Nominees for Lo-
cal omoes.

Today is election day all over vir-
ginia- State. county and city officers
will be elected, though there are no
general State officers to be voted for
ct this election.
OvrshadowinG all other matters in
Importance in today's election is the
question of whether there will be called
a Constitutional convention to revise
the State constitution or not. A COM
paratlvely large vote, it is thought, will
Oe brought out because of this impor-
tant issue. In portions OF the State,
Richmond particularly, the Democrats
have been holding meetings to encour-
age the voters to vote for the Consti-
tutional convention, and as the Norfolk
convention made the matter a party
issue, the leading Democrats all over
the State have given their influence to
the proposition for calling n convention.
In Norfolk the chairman of the City
Democratic Executive Committee has
issued an address to the Democrats
urging them to vote for the convention,
and the two largest political clubs in
the city. the John S. Barbour Club and
the City League for Good Government
have endorsed the convention idea.
Chairman Dey, of the city committee,
says he is confident Norfolk will give 4
good majority for the convention, not
withstanding the fact that 1t has been
minated that some of the Office hold
ers were secretly opposing the conven-
ton.
The proposition, it is feared by Demo-
Gratis. will lose in Norfolk county. The
Republicans will vote almost solidy
against It

THE LOCAL CANDIDATEs

The election in Norfolk, while devoid
OF anything like excitement, still car
ries more interest than elections of the
Kind usually carry here. This is be-
cause OF the fact that for the salaried
offices three of the regular Democratic
nominees are opposed by Independents,
ana with the exception OF Brambleton
Ward there is opposition to the entire
council ticket nominated in the Demo-
cratic primary.
The saloons all closed last evening at
sunset to remain closed until sunrise
tomorrow morning, in accordance with
the State election law.

Those who were present at the Rio
cranae Western depot last evening
when the special from scofeld arrived
AT $50. bearing the remains of some
of the victims of the awful mining
catastrophe. were enabled to realize
1.-THE of the suffering and anguish
which the fearful calamity has en-
tailed. There was hardly dry eye
among the crowd of some 500 people
which had collected upon the platform
to witness the arrival of the saddest
freight of humanity that ever was
pulled into Salt Lake when engine No.
1913 steamed into the depot with the
train of FIVE cars from the scene Of
the disaster Even the bell on the To-
comOtive seemed TO give forth a muf-
fed sound and a hush fell upon those
assembled as they caught sight of the
baggage car, which was draped with
black and white streanaers.
As every car passed slowly by in
review, the pale tear-stained faces o.
the passengers caused a murmur of
unchecked sympathy to pass over the
crowd There were little children
there, too, who were too young to
sense the pitifulness of their loss and
to whom a ride on the cars was a
novelty. From one car rang out an
infantine laugh as the bright-eyed lit
tie orphan gazed on the scene, un-
sensed TO the extent of his bereave-
ment hardy workman standing

were escorted up town by a. large con-
course of people.
The next stop was made at American
Fork, where the bodies of Samuel and
David J. Padfield were left with re!a-
tives.
Lehi was the only town en- route at
which there was not a crowd at TIE
depot to meet the special. This can be
accounted for from the fact that one
body which was left there, that Of
Kirfouse. who had lived in that CITY

household work. In speaking OF the
feeling which was prevalent at the
mining camps he said that everyone
was very bitter towards the Firms, TO
whom is ascribed the authorship OF the
tragedy. from the fact that they are
said to have been in the habit OF pat
ting in blasts of giant powder at the
bottom near the floor, which had the
effect of cutting up the dust and uItl-
mateIy causing the explosion. The peo-
pie at Scofeld, he said, entertained the
best of feelings for the coal company,
which was doing all in its power TO re-
lieve the suffering there.
The funeral special left Scofield with
