Hampton Roads at an early hour this
morning, while it was yet dark, by an
unknown ocean tug. The Curtis at the
time of the collision was passing the

Wicomico river, loaded with fish guano
She was struck with great force and had
her bow carried almost entirely away
Captain Travers was struck by a flying
timber. about % inches square, the blow
rendering him senseless. The tug, which
had her after pilot house carried away,
it is reported, steamed off after the acci
dent and was not again seen by the crew
of the Curtis. The crew of the schoo u :
which was rapidly filling, headed their
vessel for the beach near Willoughby spit,
where she lies full of water. Captain
Travers and his crew who left the ves-

after thrilling experience, their yawl
having narrowly escaped capsizing on sew
eral occasions. The schooner Curtis was

vile charges an appropriation of 81 ,000,-

TAIL
The engineer-in chief makes a very
strong argument against the proposed
consolidation of naval bureaus, pointing
out that in every large shipbuilding plant
the bureau system prevails to a more
complete separation of the special
branches OF work than is practiced in the
navy.
An interesting chapter in the report
deals with the question of the personnel
and the engineer chief expresses the
opinion frankly that. the personnel bill
was either a mistake, or the proper course
has not been taken to carry out its
intent.

Haw River, n. c., Oct. 17.-This is
the third week of the cotton mill oper-
atiyes' strike in Alamance county, and
no settlement is IN sight. Since the
strike began, the strikers have been
gaining in numbers and sympathy. Of
the more than twenty large mills in
the county, only two are running with
full force. These are the Virginia
Mills at Swepsonvflle, and Juanita
Mills at Big Falls, both managed by
Raleigh men. Several small mills
where there is no union are also af-
fected. In this town, where the strike
began, there are four mills with nearly
a thousand looms. They started up
Monday with two hundred looms run
ming. Today there were only one hum
dred and sixty in operation A num-
ber of the operatives who went into
the mills to work Monday nave since
joined the Union and still others have
declined TO work longer unless the de-
mands of the union are complied with.
Monday was the day set for the non
union labor notice of the mill owners
to go into effect. On that day, the first
qu, ton put to every applicant for
work in the mills was: ''Dr on belong
to labor union?p He got no work if
he did. Early Monday morning, just
before the whistles were blown, the fol-
lowing notice was distributed by boys
among the operatives here:

with the strikers and | have been told
that mnch the same sentiment prevails
throughout the county When -.

OF the oirl this was not true, but when
the mill owners issued the notice de-
claring that no union men would in
future be EMPLOYED. the people gen

and at once their sympathies were en-
