FROM UNCLE SANS
NAVY,
White Sailors Objected to Messing
With the Dark Skins
on Board.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The negro as
a part of the enlisted force of the
UNITED States navy is to be eliminated
Hereafter recruiting agencies will dis
courage the enlistment of black men
Ior service on American war vessels.
Inc system OF elimination will be
put into operation gradually, but will
eventually weed out every negro serv.
ing before the mast, and the enlisted
Iorce of the navy will be composed
exclusively Of white men.
There are $4,000 enlisted men in
1ne navy. About 500 of these are
oiaek' Few Or no enffstments OF ne
efoes will be made during the next
'nree Or four years, and as soon as
tne terms of those now serving ex-
pre- they will be allowed to go. In
'lme all negroes will disappear.
0 "Hlte enllSted men OBJECT eS-
peclally to being obliged to mess
WIN the negroes on board ship. They
|also object to other forms of the ser
wee which compel them to regard the
negroes as their equals in every re-
speet' There have been grumblings
ana evidences of discomfort, and Off
.eefs nave come to the conclusion thai
- would be to the interest of good
otuef and discipline to organize
"iilte navy and allow the blacks to
go.
ihefe are 5000 enlisted negroes in
'he army, but the conditions in army
ana navy are not alike. In the army
Tue negroes do not serve in the same
regiments as the whites. They have

\ steel viaduct is to built over the
tracks of the Cotton Belt and Iron
Mountain roads on PENNSYLVANIA
street, between Third and Fourth ave-
nues. The viaduct will entirely
bridge the two streets and will be OF
great convenience both to the school
children and pedestrians. For a num-
Der of years the property holders liv-
ing in that section have complained
that it is very unsafe for small chill
d1en going to and from school to
cross the tracks at this point because
Of the freight and passenger trains.
The switch tracks of both roads are
built along the east side of the city,
and there is scarcely a minute in the
day that trains are not passing up
and down the tracks. This has not
only inconvenience pedestrians, who
business, but is positively dan
gerous to children. The new viaduct
will be ten feet wide and twenty-one
feet high, entirely bridging the block
between the tracks and affording
safe passage at any time during the
cay.
Third avenue from Pine to Georgia
street will also be paved with witt
fed brick by the Cotton Belt Dad. The

blocks and passes the Cotton Belt
station on Alabama street The paw

Mr.. Vandeventer was then intro
duced ard the crowd remained to
hear his speech. which was full Of
oratory and scathing exposures Of the
governors shortcomings and neglect
of duty as governor. He referred to

Springs to Johnson, then at the peni-
tentiary, stating that when he (John-

Reed ard Leeds OF Rock Island, viii
Visit California.
rwo men OF great prominence In
the railroad world at present, ID. g..
Reed, chairman of the board. and w.
b. Leeds, president of the Rock Is
land road, are on their way to Cali
fornia over the Santa Fe, says the
San Francisco Examiner. X IS said
lney want to inspect the terminals OF
the Santa Fe at Gan Francisco and
Los Angeles. as well as the main line
Of road west from Albuquerque. Rail.
road men consider this trip OF Reed
and Leeds of great significance. and
IL Is thought II may finally result in
either the absorption of the Santa Fe
by the Rock Island before the end of
the year or In an agreement by which
the Rock Island can run its trains
west to this city and Los Angeles oy-
er the tracks of the Santa Fe from
Albuquerque, mention of which was
made in The Examiner of last Thurs
day.
II me Rock Island is TO run its
train here over the Santa Fe tracks,
IL is admitted by both the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific people that
more sidetracks will have to be built
on the Tehachapi mountains between
bakersfield and Mojave for the safe
passage of an increased number OF
trains. The Santa Fe Is using the
rehachapi portion OF the Southern
Pacific under ninety.nine year joint
trackage lease.
With the advent of Rock Island
trains. the yard facilities of the Santa
Fe at Point Richmond will have to be
materially increased, and the freight
and passenger ferry service between
here and Point Richmond must be
strengthened. IL is believed the new
freight terminal of the Santa Fe at
China Basin, now rapidly approaching
completion, will be adequate for the
business of the two roads In case the
mock Island secures trackage rights
from the Santa Fe west of Albuquer-
que.
