THE NAVY-NEEDS THEM
SMALL VESSELS USED By THE
DIFFERENT STATES.
Recommendations Of the Bureau OF
Navigation-The Oneida May Be
Withdrawn From District.

Pressing need of properly trained men in
the service has caused the bureau OF naVi.
CATION to recommend the return to the
navy OF all the small converted gunboats
which were bought prior to and during the
war with Spain and afterward loaned to
the naval militia Of the various states. Ac-
ton on this recommendation Is expected
shortly.
Some time ago the naval militia Of North
Carolina, to whom the Hornet had been
loaned. announced that they were not pre-
pared to stand the expense Of the vessels
overhauling. The department took charge
Of the boat and started repairs on it at
Norfolk with the view OF attaching It to
the receiving ship Franklin at that port
as a tender in company with the Restless
and the Siren for the training OF recruits.
The North Carolina officials have now ask
ed for the vessels return. The bureau or
navigation has decided, however, that it
needs not only the Hornet, but the remain
der Of these converted gunboats which arc
now in possession Of the following state
militia:
Inca, Massachusetts,: Elfrida, Connecti-
cut; Aileen. New York; Huntress. New
Jersey; Sheerwater, Pennsylvania; Sylvia,
Maryland: Oneida. District of Columbia;
Stranger, louisiana; Hawk. Ohio; Doro-
thea, Illinois,
The Bureaus Recommendation.
In the bureaus recommendation it 10
stated:
I'm accordance with the request Of the
bureau it is understood that the Hornet
is now being prepared for service for the
training Of recruits as a tender to the re-
ceiving ship Franklin in company with the
Restless and Siren. The work that these
small vessels do Is Of the greatest value to
the navy, especially at this time when the
deficiency in properly trained men in great
and the bureau Is decidedly Of the opini ion
service to withdraw the Hornet or any of
these vessels from this duty. More vessels
OF this class would be assigned to this duty
II they were available.
'At present the bureau knows Of no other
vessels available for loaning to the North
Carolina militia. Furthermore the bureau
recommends that steps be taken to with
draw the other vessels now loaned to vari-
Gus state militia for the regular needs Of
the service, and the governors of the re-
ton in order that they may provide their
organization with other vessels"
The Fern Likely to Remain.
The above list does not include all vessels
loaned to the naval militia of the states. but
only those whose return Is regarded as de-
sarable. Among the vessels not at all like
ly to be withdrawn from service with the
naval militia are the tender Fern, at Wash
ington: the sailing ship New Hampshire, at
New York; the sailing ship St. Louis at
Philadelphia; the sailing ship Dale, at Bal
timore; the cruiser Minnesota, at Boston:
the cruiser Marion, at San Diego, Cal: the
cruiser Yantic. in Lake Michigan. All these
vessels with the exception of the Fern. are
classed In the naval register as "unservicea-
BILE" and the Fern is acknowledged to be
practically worthless for naval purposes.

The following petition IN urging the con-

John F. Cook, Kelly Miller and Whitefield

We, the undersigned respectfully beg
leave to submit to your honorable body the
following petition touching the matter OF
the confirmation Of DR.. w. D. Crum. NOM
mated by the President to be collector of
the port Of Charleston. s. c. We are moved
to take this extraordinary action because
Of the exceptional interest excited in tho
case, the precedent an adverse decision
would establish, and the great and funda-
mental principle involved in its correct set
Element. From all the Information we have
been able to gather. it seems that the only
objection to Dr. Crum is that he Is a col
ored man. A bold systematic, an ganized
attempt has been made to impeach his In
tegrity, but it has utterly failed. After a
most searching investigation OF his private
and public career. it Is admitted that he Is
a man and a citizen without reproach. His
intelligence and fitness for the position can
not be truthfully denied. This then re-
duces the issue to a question OF color, and
in our humble Judgment the Senate of the
United States Is called upon to decide
whether, If an American citizen is in every
other respect qualified for the discharge OF
civic duties. his color shall be bar to MS
political preferment The Widespread ag-
itation Of this matter by the press and peo-
pie OF the country has carried it far be-
yond the personality OF DR.. Crum. It now
involves, not only the future recognition Of
colored men for office, but also the very
principles upon which our government Is
foundedNa government Of the people, by
the people, for the people. Under these In
stttutiorfs there can be no degrees of citi-
zensflip; for If there be, he who has citizen
ship in the lesser degree Is of necessity the
slave Of him who has it In the larger de-
gree.
