 valise and had hidden 1t. Detective
 Donnelly then hunted her up and asked her what she had done. with it. She
 was very saucy and would not tell any
 thing about it. Finally her father told
 her to give it to the officer. She went to closet where she had hidden it and
 gave 1t to him. It contained several
 hundred dollars worth more of silver
 and silver articles.
 Booth was then placed under arrest
 and brought to this city, where he
 made full confession. He said he
 found the place where the key to the vaults was hid and had had duplicate
 key made. This was several months
 ago, and since that time he had been stealing the metal and any other goods
 of value that he could find He made
 weekly excursions to this city and sold all the stuff to Sutta, who, he said, had cheated him by weighing the stuff on Troy scales and who only allowed him thirty-three cents an ounce.
 The two men who the detective had
 been watching in this city then bought
 the metal of Sutta, paying fair price for is. and took it to New York. where it was bought at the United States Assay office.
 Detective Donnelly has made num- Der of trips to New York and found out that this was absolutely true. as he had got the description of the men who sold the metal to the government and it corresponds exactly with the two men who he had been watching here. .~~ Sutta's store was visited by the off,
 cers and he .stoutly denied any knowl- edge of having seen any silver sheets.
 He said had they been brought to him
 he would not have bought them as he
 would have known that they must have
 been stolen. He said that he knew Booth, but that the only business deal ings he had had with him was to sell him two watches. He was confronted at police headquarters by Booth, who acknowledge everything in his presence but still he absolutely refused to make any confession.
 The officers say that they have plenty of evidence to convict Sutta and that
 there is no question as to his guilt. Booth said to the officers yesterday afternoon, after making his confession:
 1T am - glad that I am caught. For the last few days my con- science has been troubling me and I thought that I would resign my posi- ton. am glad that it is all over" Sutta is held at the present time on only one count, that of stealing 1S6
 ounces of silver worth $S7, although the police say that there are number
 more counts to be lodged against him.
 The police say that as both the men
 who took the stolen stuff to New York tell a. straight story it would be hard to convict them, so they have not been

arrested. They paid proper price for the goods and claimed that they thought
 that Sutta had come honestly by them. In one of the mems houses on Spruce
 street was found 256 ounces of silver belonging in Meriden and 300 ounces
 belonging in Wallingford. He told the
 police that he had sold over thousand
 ounces recently. The other man said
 that be had sold between 300 and 700
 ounces within the last two months. While Detective Donnelly was talking to Booth at his house he saw Booth pass his wife something. The detective thought thati it was the key to the store
 room at the shop but it proved to be a |' big bundle Of money.

RACE PREJUDICE RARE AMONG ... SAILORS.

.A SAILORS.
 A story has been going the rounds of the press that the Navy Department has decided to enlist no more negroes in the navy. on account of the pre- judice which exists against them among the enlisted men. and much comment has been made upon this as another evidence of racial hatred Now, however, on authority of the Navy De- partment. it is given out that this newspaper story is without the slightest foundation in fact. and is a. product of yellow journalism. There is no parti- cular prejudice against negroes on the part of naval seaman, and the Depart ment is inclined rather to encourage than to discourage their enlistment. As a proof of this policy, attention is called to a recent case in point. A negro sea- man was tried by court martial and sentenced to imprisonment, to be fol- lowed by dishonorable discahrge. A dishonorable discharge is bar to reenlistment. At the expiration of his term of Imprisonment he applied to the Navy Department to have the disability of dishonorable discharge removed. The mans record before his trial was good. as was his prison record. so his request was granted, and he was per- mitted to reenlist in the navy. Certain ly if there were any inclination to bar negroes from the navy, this would not have been done. a.-.
 The fact is that the prejudice against the negroes is less in evidence among men engaged in any other pursuit. In the old days, when we had 6 deep-water marine. there were many negro mer- chant seamen, and as a rule they were good seamen. On shipboard man s place is determined by his ability to do his work, not by his color or nationality There were many of the old clipper captains who by preference always shipped full crew of negroes, if they could obtain them. As seamen negroes are as a rule. strong active, willing, amenable to discipline quick to learn their duties, and accurate in their. per- formance. s, -.
 There has been a fair sprinkling of negro seamen in the navy of the United States ever since the country had a navy: and no distinction was ever against them on account of their color either by officers or shipmates. It was news indeed that prejudice. against them had arisen at this date and 1t is gratifying to learn that the alleged news was in fact merely yellow fake. Seattle -Intelligencer. 4a
