Sailors in the American snavy are
better fed than those of any Of the
other navies of the world. ;The pay is
small, but they are better treated In
every respect than the other mariners

one of the reasons that account for so
large percentage Of Europeans in the

rine.

Mr.. Justices friends, in Raleigh at least,
do not look upon the proposition with ia

wants it, and the possibility of getting

Saturday afternoon Miss Jarboe went in

MR.. HAYS TRIP TO CANTON.
To Leave Today or Tomorrow to
Confer With the President.

Secretary Hay will leave today or to-
morrow for Canton to visit the Presi-
dent During the six weeks. since the
president and members % the Cabinet
met, a number of important matters have
developed in the affairs of the Depart
ment of State which Secretary. Hay de-
sires to talk over with the President.
Among these is the matter of the signing
of the protocol in Pekin and what steps
are thereafter to be taken by this Govern
ment. particularly in the matter of the
change in the tariff schedule. Minister
Conger, according to advices received at
the State Department yesterday. has ar
rived in Pekin, but he may not partici-
pate In the signing of the protocol unless
there is another unforeseen delay which
is not now probable. 1t is thought that
Mr.. Rockhill will sign the document upon
behalf of the United States. and that after
so doing he will turn over the affairs In
Pekin to Mr.. Conger and leave at once
for this country. He intended to start
on August 10, but was prevented by the
delay in. agreeing to the draft of the
protocol. The department had not yes
terday been advised as to the date of
signing, but 1t is thought that ii will be
executed by the representatives of all the
Powers in Pelsin some time this week, pos
sibly within day or two.
The disturbances in South America will
also form topic for discussion by the
President and Secretary Hay. While he
has been kept fully advised of the deyel-
opments in Venezuela and Colombia, he
is anxious to have an opportunity to go
over this and other important matters
personally with the Secretary of State.
Mr.. Hay Will then come back to WASH
ington and some time later expects to re-
turn for a short time to his summer home
on the shores of Lake Sunapee. New

THINK SHEPARD INNOCENT.
Friends Defend the Ex-Chief Clerk
of the Patent ONCE.

Whether victim of strong circumstan-
tial evidence or of conspiracy E. V. Shep-
ard. the dismissed chief clerk of the Pat
ent Office. still has many friends who
positively decline to believe him guilty of
the charges of theft alleged against HIM
Such are strong in their protestaeions of
his innocence, and consider that he is in
capable of the crime of which he has
been accused. Most of these friends.
however. are employees of the Patent.
of the Bureau are necessarily confden=
tial.
Mr.. Shepard is Frustrated by his dis
missal and at present refuses himself to
all callers. Even his most intimate ac-
quaintances are not permitted to see him.
1t is said, however, that Mr.. Shepard does
not intend to accept the findings of the
committee without a struggle to estab-
lish his innocence.
Mr. Moore. Assistant Commissioner of
Patents. asserted yesterday morning that
there could not be shadow of doubt of
the justice of the action of the finding.
Mr.. Shepard says he, was convicted on
unimpeachable testimony. The evidence
was most conclusive, and established his
guilt beyond question.
The Acting Secretary of the Interior re-
fused to discuss the matter further, say
ing that he had no further step to take,
and that Secretary Hitchcock. must con-
slider what other course will be pursued.
1t is for Secretary Hitchcock to decide
whether criminal proceedings against MIR.
Shepard will be begun. The opinion gem
orally prevails that Mr.. Shepard Will be
prosecuted as it is thought that the ac-
ton of the department in Diminishing him
upon such charges leaves no other course
open to it.

Suddenly Broken Up.

NANTUCKET. Mass. Aug. 19.-Surprise

face in this little island town today. for.
instead of having the officers and crew
of the North Atlantic Squadron as their
guests for several days longer they behold
Camp Long fast disappearing and the
heavy guns that fortified 1t taken on
board the vessels. which leave tomorrow
for Hampton Roads.
The orders for breaking camp were re-
ceived this morning by Major Doyen. At
8 o'clock the big guns were dismounted
and the camp equipage was taken to the
beach and the marines were kept busy
for the balance of the forenoon in trans
porting their effects to the different YES
sells from which they had been removed
All preparations for the continuance OF
the maneuvrss at this place have been
cOuntermanded and the vessels are al
ready getting up steam preparatory to
their departure. While the exact reason
for the sudden departure is not known. it
is believed here that trouble in Colombia
and Panama has something to do with it.
The vessels were scheduled to be at
Newport August %. and the camp here
was to remain until Friday next.
