DIED..

Little Claude Leo Hayes would
have been IA months old last Tues
day: but the cruel hand OF death
has interposed and the body of
little Leo, the third child of Mr..
and Mrs @. L. Hayes, now sleeps
in mother earth-its innocent little
soul having returned to Him who
gave it. We believe that no one
can fully experience the heartaches
and the pain, the anguish and the
misery caused by such a separa,
ration except the mother and ia
Their, and while this little, soul was
happy in this life, and admired by
many friends while being wheeled
around town in babiy's buggy few
days ago, the cruel monster found
him and the little voice is hushed-
to us at least.
It was not known until Saturday
that he was seriously Ill but on
Monday afternoon the body was
committed to a pure white casket
where it lay as if reposing in peace
full slumber, until Tuesday after
noon when the funeral services
were conducted from its parents
residence by Rev Mente, assisted
by Rev. Gregory, ard the remains
inferred in Mount Hope cemetery,
undertaken Powell in charge.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes will have
the deepest sympathy of their
friends and acquaintance in their
bereavement.
It is a satisfaction to know that
thew had he best of medical atten-
ton. but without avail; nothing
could be done to save the little
sufferers life.

SAILING SHIPS FOR THE NAVY.
Advocated by the Chief Constructor
for Training Enlisted Men.

An important report will soon be made
to Secretary Long by Rear Admiral
BowIes, Chief Constructor of the Navy,
in which recommendation is made for the
construction Of six large sailing ships.
The report relates to the question of the
training OF men entering the naval serv-
ice.
Admiral BOwles is a strong advocate
of the idea that the enlisted men of the
navy should receive thorough training in
seamanship aboa rd sailing vessels. He ex-
plains in the report the advantage to be
derived from giving the blueiackets a
thorough knowledge of sea work. 1t is
argued that in no other way can beNac-
quired properly knowledge of the winds
and currents.
One feature of the report will be the
total absence of any discussion of plans
for the new battleships and cruisers. The
chief constructors views on this subject
have been placed before the Construction
Board. and form a rart of that boards
work. 1t is known, however. that Rear
Admiral Bowles is an opponent of the
superimposed turret. and is one of the
signers of the majority report, opposing
the double turret.
Rear Admiral Bradford. whose minority
report has already been published, is re
ceiving strong support in favor of the
double turret from naval officers who were
called upon by the Secretary of the Navy
to express TO the Department their views
on the subject. out of nearly sixty re-
ports, so far received thrty-three are in
favor of the double turret, and this num-
ber includes all of the officers on duty at
the Naval War College and at the Wash
ingtOn NAVY Yard.

PHILIPPINE coURTs-MART1AL.
One Chinamnn and Four Natives
Tried on Capital Charges.

The following reports upon Philippine
courts-martial were received at the War
Department yesterday:
Sia Sc Co, a Chiraman, was tried on
charge of murder, and sentenced to i'm
prisonment at hard labor for life. Sia Sc
Co entered the house of Sia Chui Gao, an
other Chinaman, and requested loan.
When it was refused him he drew a knife
and stabbed Sia Chui Gao to death. At
his trial he claimed that the killing was
justifiable.
Pasquinto de Leon, a native, employed
as a scout by the United States forces on
the island of Masbate, was tried on
charges of murder and violation of the
laws of war Pasquinto was shown to
have killed a native with no apparent
justification for the act, and also to have
aided the insurgent cause by sending am
munition and letters containing valuable
information to the rebel army He was
sentenced TO be hanged.
Two insurgent lieutenants ordered their
soldiers to capture and kill native
named Carlos. whom they suspected of
being an American spy, and the soldiers
promptly executed the order military
commissioner sentenced the lieutenantS to
be hanged but upon the recommendation
of the commander of the Department of
Northern Luzon, General Chaffee COM
muted the sentences to life Imprisonment.
Nicolas Merrero, a native. was tried for
the murder of an eX-police captain named
De Lara. In reviewing the case, General
Chaffee, while stating that the evidence in
the case established the guilt of the ac-
cused beyond reasonable doubt, and that
he believed the ends of justice called for
the execution of the sentence of death i'm
posed, decided that he would. upon the
recommendation of the cOnvening author
ity, commute the sentence to imprison-
ment at hard labor for ten years.

cular activity along with mental alert
ness. On the other hand duties which
require little or no bodily activity. but
by white workmen. While it would be
impracticable to make strict line of
demarkation between the races, Just as
il is found when limits are placed upon
the employments of the sexes, neverthe-
less a general understanding that this
union of the races in labor's interest
would be mutually beneficial seems inn
portant to the trades unions at the
present time.
If the labor unions do not join hands
with the negro the latter may uninten-
tionally and against his strongest pref
erences become the Industrial slave of
capital, thus driving out free and inde-
pendent white labor quite as success
fully as he did when a chattel slave in
the South. Chattel slavery owed its de-
struction largely to the fact that free
labor saw in it it's worst enemy. If free
labor, In its contest with organized cap
ital. fails to take the negro On its side,
then free labor must not be surprised
TO find the negro in the only camp open
to him, namely that of organized capi-
tai. So far as the negro himself is con
cerned, there can hardly be claimed for
him any policy In the matter. With
him it resolves itself into an individual
question. He usually enters any door
open to him to better his condition, and
spends little time trying to force open
doors that are closed in his face. But
the one universal testimony of the
negro character is that of loyalty and
gratitude. AS certainly as history re-
peats itself the indications are that
just as the National Government final
ly won the civil war by enlisting over
100000 negro soldiers and sailors, just
so trades unions will find in their con
fict with organized capital a perma-
nent victory in so far as they learn to
use and Fellowship with negro labor.

AS the fact of race or color does not en-
ter into the records of that office il was
necessary to apply to patent attorneys
for the information. Hence every pat
ent attorney in the United States was
asked by the Commissioner of Patents
to give the list of any negro clients for
whom he had obtained patent. 1t will
be readily seen that under such an in
vestigation the returns must be far be-
low the actual list The smallness Of
the list is further explained in the fol-
lowing letter from a patent attorney in
reply TO the Commissioner Of Patents:
Il have not had an application from
a colored inventor, nor have heard of
any This does not Imply that the
colored people lack the inventive facul-
ty, but their training and surroundings
are such as 10 stifie any tendency to-
ward invention, or even toward me-
chanical skill The vast majority of
colored people in the South are either
field hands OF domestic servants. There
are few factories, comparatively in this
part of the country, and the black man
is not favored in selecting hands for
them Therefore he sees little of ma
chinery, and if he did manifest ten
dency to think out problems in mechan-
les for himself it would be viewed with
suspicion as foreign TO his character
and the path marked out for him
It was discovered that nearly 400 pat
ents have been issued to negroes and
they may be characterized as follows:
Eighty-four for appliances in domestic
and personal service, forty-seven ia ag-
riculture, sixty-fve in trade and trans
portation, ninety-six in manufacturing
and mining, and the remainder scat
tered over various lines of inventions.
According to the Census of 1890 there
were among negroes 10000 carpenters,
Is, 600 saw-mill operatives, 1900 tobac-
co-factory operatives, 10000 black
smiths, 5000 brickmakers, and smaller
numbers scattered in every line of oc-
cupations in the Census schedules All
this goes to indicate that the negro has
the ability to become a skilled mechan-
ic, and that he is rapidly becoming
such, not only through the natural rise
by his talent from crude labor, but es-
pecially through the stimulus and train
ing of such Institutions as the Hampton
and Tuskegee Schools.
What, then, should be the attitude of
labor unions toward this awakening ele-
ment Of the population verify bursting
up through the industrial strata?
Clearly the attitude should be one of
absorption and the most thorough CO.
operation It is doubtless true that as
class the negros wants and general
standard of living are such that he has
accepted lower wages than white men.
This is rapidly changing, however, and
wherever wages are increased wants
increase Just as much with the colored
man as with the white. Instead of do
ing harm to white labor the admission
Of the negro into labor unions is likely
to have quite another effect, namely,
that of improving the general status of
white worimen. The general experience
with negro workmen is that they do
best at work requiring physical endur-
ance, or at least at work requiring mus

BOARD OF ORDNANCE REPORT.
VIII Renew Recommended for
Three Great Proving Grounds.

The work OF the Board of Ordnance
in preparing its annual report has been
nearly completed. II is believed that the
report this year will not touch upon the
question of the disappearing gun carriage.
1t is the opinion of the board that il
has finally disposed of the question. This
was done some months ago when a re-
port was adopted recommending that
there be no further manufattu of the
disappearing gun carriages for the army.
This report has not been acted upon by
the Secretary of War and the subject
is not therefore, before the Board of ord

UNION NEGRO LABORERS.
Skilled Trades Organizations Must
Admit the C0lOred Worker.
Statistics Show Tint He Is Rapidly
Coming to the Fore-His Record as
an Inventor - what the Future
Holds Forth In an Industrial Sense

The President of the Amalgamated
Association of Steel Workers is report
ed to have said, during the recent
strike, that he had no fear Of negroes
from the South taking the places of
those on strike for the reason that the
negroes of that section had already
been organized This has but little
foundation in fact. 1t is true that few
unions have been organized among ne
groes In such regions as the coal min
ing district of Birmingham, Ala, but
the general policy Of exclusion which
has characterized the trades unions has
done everything tu ALLEVIATE the negro's
loyalty to labor's interest as represent
ed in labor strikes.
As 10 the negro's talent for work re-
curing skill. the general testimony is
in his favor. Ex-Gov. Robert Low
~, Of Mississippi, in discussing the ne
gro as a mechanic some years ago in
the North American Review" after
answering in the affirmative Can the
negro be trained as mechanicE' pro-
ceeded to narrate the following inter
esting history:
Prior to the war there were large
number Of negro mechanics in the
Southern States; many Of them were
-cspert biacksmlths, wneeiwrlghts'
s-ickmasons, carpenters. plasterers,
- .nters, ard shoemakers. Many per-
sons .n Mississippi and Louisiana re-
member a firm extensively engaged as
contractors and builders of bridges and
houses before the war. who owned their
entire force of negro mechanics This
firm built a large number of bridges
which span various streams in Missis-
siopi. and hundreds of spacious resi-
dences and public buildings"
While it is true that during the reac-
tion which has taken place since eman-
cipation when most Of the energetic
talent of the negro has gone TO supply
the immense demand for teachers,
preachers. professional men, few
shopkeepers, editors, etc, callings EN-
tireiy supplied from the present gener-
alton OF negroes II is also true that in
every section of the South may be seen
negroes employed on skilled work. The
disinterested testimony of special cor
respondent who Travelled through the
south bears out the conclusion that for
MANY reasons the negro has brilliant
future in the industrial development Of
the South.
The negro's inventive faculty as
