PRAISE FOR HEROES.
President Roosevelt ExtoIs the Con-
duct Of the Officers and Men of the
Battleship Missouri.

President Roosevelt ExtoIs the Con-
duct of the Officers and Men of the
Battleship Missouri.
Washington, May 30.-Secretary
Moody has issued a general order
containing extracts from the report
of the Missouri court of inquiry re-
garding the conduct of the officers
and men at the time of the accident
on board the vessel, April ID; letters
from the president to the navy de-
partment regarding the bravery of the
officers and men of the Missouri, the
extraordinary heroism shown by
Chief Boatswain's Mate M. Monssen,
Gunner's Mate c. s. Schepke
and Acting Gunner r. E. Cox and also
letter from the president to the de-
partment expressing his satisfaction
at the behavior of the chaplain of the
Missouri, Father Gleeson, at the time
of the accident.
In letter to the secretary of the
navy the president said regarding the
victims of the accident:
These men died for their country
as honorably as If they had died in
battle against an enemy. We mourn
their fate but we mourn 1t only as we
mourn those who fall bravely at the
post of duty. The accident was due
to no fault of theirs or of their CON-
rades. 1t was one of those accidents
against which we must guard with
ceaseless vigilance and which we
must discover means of avoiding, but
the risk of which cannot be entirely
prevented under the conditions of
preparation for modern warfare, and
which must to this extent be accepted
as we accept the risk of battle itself
The lives of these men were spent in
the service of their country and their
deaths were in her honor. Living and
dying they showed that high fidelity
to duty which can be rendered only
by those in whom the determination
to do duty well has become part OF
their very being. On behalf of the ma
ton / pay tribute of honor to the
| brave dead who died SO nobly-"
To es L one of the officers and men
reporte by the court as deserving
and to haplain Gleeson the navy de-
partn has sent a copy of the COM
men Jry letter.
6 ally commendatory letters
ha been written by the secretary to
ICs Monssen and Schepke, and tc
In ssen and Schepke medals OF
In II have been awarded. Because
law does not provide for the
arding of a medal of honor to an
.icer of the navy, Acting Gunner
OK could not be awarded one.
The general order concludes with
these words of the secretary:
Little can be added to heighten the
praise which all who read this order
will bestow upon the conduct of al
concerned In this trying occasion, but
the department feels that the service
should be congratulated on the pos
session of such officers and men,"

Tn following interesting adress was

Mint on Spring Garden street, directly
north OF the old building. il II a magnifi-

the fine building and passing through the
doorway halt. and in turn are ushered

right where a Mint Guard informs us
that In due course we will be allowed TO
make a tour Of the Mint. Directly n guard
steps up, and states that he Is now ready
TO conduct us through the building. Now
