grand jury of Princess Anne county has
indicted the Norfolk and Southern railroad,
which runs a steam line between Norfolk
and Virginia Beach, for violation of the
Jim Crow" law, which provides for sep
arate coaches for whites and blacks.
This railroad has been living up to the
Jim Crow law very reigiously since it
was passed by the legislature several years
ago, but broke it some days ago, when
Barnum & Bailey's circus came to Norfolk.
Many Princess Anne people, both whites
and blacks, started in to the circus. and as
the crowd was more than the railroad had
anticipated there were not on hand suffi-
Gent "Jim Crow cars for the colored folk
to ride separate from the whites.
The white farmers became indignant be-
cause they were compelled to ride with the
blacks.

Britain has vigorously protested to the
Turkish government against the permis
sion granted In September last to four un
armed Russian torpedo-boat destroyers To
pass through the Dardanelles into the BLACK
sea. under the commercial flag OF Russia.
These vessels were about to start on the
proposed trip The British note says the
passage Of the Dardanelles by the torpedo
boat destroyers would be violation of the
existing international treaties and that IL
Russian warships are thus allowed to use
the Dardanelles Great Britain will reserve
the right to demand similar privileges
The protest has caused irritation in Rus
sian circles and concern on the part of the

Secretary Hay has received the British

to arbitration. 1t is assumed that the
British note reflects the views of the Ger
man government as the allies have been
acting in harmony SO far. The note Ia In
terlocutory, but in substance states that il
Venezuela wishes conference with q view
to submitting the differences between
the two countries to arbitration Great
Britain will accede. The conditions at.
tached are slightly different from the ORR
inal British proposition, but in the judg-
ment of officials here the differences be-
tween the allies and Venezuela in respect
to arbitration much diminished and
there is warrant for the expectation that
the case will now surely so to The Hague.
The next step Will be reply from Presl-
dent Castro.

RUSH AT NAVY YARD
WORK SAID TO BE MORE THAN A
YEAR BEHIND.
Increase in Naval Power Demands
More Guns-Double Shifts Of
Workmen.

The Washington navy yard is a busy
place these days. Those who claim to be
in position to know say that work in the
machine shops, where guns are manufac-
tured for new war vessels, is more than
year behind. The plan to increase the
navy, which has been agreed upon SO far
as the leaders Of the House are concerned,
and which bids fair to be approved by Con-
gress at the present session, means that
the work in the navy yard will be more than
doubly Increased. Naval officers have all
along contended that there is possibility
of trouble with Germany within a few
years, and while hostiiities may be counter
acted by pacific diplomatic measures, 1t is
the desire of the Navy Department, back
ed by the administration, that the United
States shall be prepared for emergency.
1t is said that fully 500 more men are
needed at the Washington navy yard. AL
ready second shift of men in the second
ary mount shop and in the miscellaneous
machine shop has been ordered, it Is said,
and soon as men may be procured an
additional force will be put to work in the
shops at the yard.
The men now employed in the shops at
the navy yadr are perturbed. The officers
in charge have, it is said, intimated to the
men that, If they are willing to forego the
price-and-a-half pay and accept straight
pay for overtime two shifts only Of twelve
hours each will be maintained; otherwise a
system of three shifts of eight hours each
will be inaugurated Heretofore the men
have received price and-a-half pay for all
overtime. The foregoing Of extra pay for
extra time is contrary to labor union prin-
ciples.
Shifts Of Twelve Hours Favored.
. The men said to favor two shifts
Of twelve hours each, in preference to
three shifts of eight hours each, as in the
latter case they would have to correct In
their own time the errors of the new and
inexperienced men employed. They are
said to be perfectly willing to work twelve
hours, but feel that in doing they would
be entitled to the scale rate of extra pay
for the four hours in excess of the regu-
lar days work time of eight hours.
Considerable dissatisfaction Is said to ex-
ist among the employees in the shops at the
navy yard by reason of what they term the
unfair treatment of them on the New Year
holiday. Christmas they were accorded a
half holiday. with pay. Prior to January l
they were assured, it is said that they
should have the same half holiday on New
Year with pay.
AS the story goes, they were told shortly
before noon of that day that the half holi-
day was not forthcoming Many of the
employees had arranged to spend the half
day in their own diversion. Some had come
to their work with better clothes so as to
not make it necessary to return to their
homes to dress. Others did not carry their
luncheons with them and were compelled to
patronize nearby restaurants. They were
not only discommoded but displeased.

the large estate of his father-in-law, and
his resignat ton was accepted, to take effect

vania and graduate of the Military Acad-
emy of the class OF 1879 He served In the
