Opportunity Coming for Appointing
Six Enaigna In the my.

Opportunity Coming for Appointing
Six Ensigns In the Nay.
Within a short time, namely, on July 80.
there will be opportunity for the appoint
ment of six warrant officers of the navy to
the rank of ensigns. this being equivalent
to taking men from the ranks and giving
them commissions as officers Heretofore
there has been no means of gaining a COM
mission in the line of the navy except
through the training at the Naval Acad-
emy. But at the last session of Congress
provision was made that when vacancies
existed in the rank Of ensign. which is the
lowest commissioned rank, the President
might appoint annually, on the recon-
mendation of the Secretary Of the Navy,
not more than six from among the boat
swains. gunners or warrant machiniSts to
the grade of ensign. 1t happens that there
are a large number of vacancies in the
rank of ensign at present, so that there
will be opportunity for these appointments
if men of suitable qualifications are pre-
sented. The full list of ensigns Is $50, un-
der existing law. but after the assignment
of all recent graduates from the Naval
Academy there will still be 119 vacancies in
that grade. Thus far. however, no active
steps have been taken toward selecting
warrant officers for appointment. Only two
applications have been received, but TIE
theory Of the law, as viewed by the Of
fcials. is that the appointments do not nee
esSarily require an application by the as
pirant for commission, but follow the rec
ommendation of commanding officers, who
may be attracted by the ability and merit
Of warrant officers serving under them.
There are many worthy men In this class,
but the veteran gunners and boatswains
are barred by the requirement that ap-
pointees shall not be over thirty-five years
old. Even among the younger class there
are comparatively few who can pass the
competitive examination called for by the
law. Under the circumstances there does
not appear to be any present prospect of
putting into force the system long fol-
lowed in the army of appointing meritori-
Gus men from the ranks. but the oppor-
tunity will be open in case men of requisite
ability are presented.

Fleet Of Gaily Decorated Boats at New
:. London.
An ANIMATED NAVAL SPECTACLE
Indications Are That the Conditions
viii Be avorabIe.
THEY START AT 4 P. NJ.

NEW LONDON. Conn, June N-The
have a@warm. clear day for their annual
regatta. At Gales Ferry a light southwest
breeze was blowing early In the morning,
ruffiing the surface Of the water Just bit.
To the minds of the rowing experts this
promises well for the races, which do not
start until 4 pm. Similar conditions have
prevailed on the river for several days, and
generally result in smooth water and still
air late In the afternoon.
An intensely hot sun shone this morning
on New London harbor. in which was as
pretty fleet of boats as has ever been
seen here.
1t was varied assemblage Of craft, from
government gunboats to naphtha launches
in the steaming class and from cat boats
to the great single stick racing boats in
the sailing class. Above and below the
bridge during the carly hours Of the morn
ing there were enough handsome private
boats to have lined the four-mile course in
close column, three or four vessels deep on
each side.
Brightly Decorated Fleet.
The boats comprising this fleet were
brightly decorated with the favorite col
lege colors of the owners, prominently dis
played amid the usual abundance Of ma
tional emblems, club pennants and burgess.
By II o'clock most OF the vessels Of the
fleet down the harbor were on the move to
take advantageous positions above the
bridge and along the course, and shortly
after that hour the majority Of the boats
had dropped anchor outside Of the hags
that mark the lane in which the crews
rowed, directed in this operation by the
officers of the United States steamer Dallas,
which acted course boat.
The interest of the early morning was
centered on the appearance in the feet Of
the big ninety-footer Constitution. and as
she lay in the lower harbor received con-
tinuous attention from the occupants Of
scores Of yacht tenders.
In the fleet the United States government
was represented by the Dolphin. having
aboard Secretary Of the Navy Long and
party; the Gresham, with a number OF
light house and revenue service officials
aboard: the Dallas, the Dexter and the
Algonquin of the revenue service, acting
as course boats. and the Onandaga, with a
party Of congressman, mostly from New
York.
Breeze Died Down at Noon.
While the breeze. gentle at first, grew in
force in the early part Of the day, the
weather wise expressed confidence that the
conditions for the race would be right
when the time came to start the freshmen
crews, o'clock. There was a fresh wind
from the southwest at 10 O'Clock, and an
hour later it had not increased appreciably.
At noon it had subsided considerably.
The hotels and other places Of resort
were filled with visitors. The betting.
which was not heavy, was at odds of to
on the Yale freshmen early in the day,
while the Yale Varsity crew was the
favorite at 5 to 4.

Two LIVES REPORTED LOST
Much Of the Repair Work on
Former Damages Destroyed.
DAMAGE in PoCAHONTAs

BLUEFIELD, w. Va. June "a cloud
burst over Coaldale, Simmons Creek and
Pocahontas. wrought; considerable damage
last night. Pocahoptas was flooded. the
yards covered with mud and several hun
dred feet Of track washed out. Damage
to the yard is abont 600. An Associated
Press representative last night rode on a
work train from Elkhorn to Summit, dis
tance Of ten miles, IN the storm.
The time reddiret FOR the trip was two
and a half hours. The Nkhorn river was
greatly swollen, and much debris was
floating down. There is no doubt that much
of the temporary repairs are so damaged
as to greatly delay traffic on the section
between Ennis and Vivian.
Information was obtained today from Di-
vision Superintendent Riton's office that
the damage done In last nights flood was
considerable. The temporary tracks laid
from Ennis to Vivian were badly damaged.
Trains are only running to Coopers today,
but 1t Is hoped to get provision train
through as far as Ennis this morning.
Miners Leaving the Valley.
Destitute miners with their wives and
children. are walking out of the valley.

the latter too sman to walk. They had

enty-five miles. Provisions were furnished
them and the work hands made up hand

Thirty-eight Norfolk and Western men
walked through from Williamson to North
Fork, a distance Of Is miles. They reported
the worst damage to the railroad track at
points between Vivian Yard and Davy,
sixteen miles distant.
Owing to last nights floods it Is not prob
able that the track will be opened before
Sunday. ~
The damage done by last nights freshet,
including loss Of revenues, is conservative
ly estimated at $20.0O9 1t is not believed
that any lives were lost in the second flood
in the valley of the Elkhorn Bluestone and
Tug rivers last night, as the people took
to the mountains early enough to make
good their escape.
KEYSER, w. Va, June 27.-Later ad-
vices from the New Creek Valley, which
was inundated by a cloudburst night be-
fore last, indicate that no lives were lost
and that the damage was confined to live
stock and growing crops,
