WASHINGTON. June %. A tele-
gram received at the navy department
from Rear Admiral Evans says:

to the exposition at a late hour IS still

ed that she has been run down and

The loss at one time OF six bright
young midshipmen fresh from the

officer very recently appointed and a
cockswain and four other enlisted men
attached 20 the big battleship Mime
sofa. twelve men altogether, IS one OF
the most severe blows that has fallen
upon the personnel OF the navy since
the Spanish war
In the opinion OF the officials OF the
department Admiral Evans had de-
layed sending the sad message until he
had exhausted every means OF finding
trace OF the missing mon. Sailors at
tho navy department say that there Is
always n chance that the launch had
merely broken down her machinery
and. going adrift without control I'm
the very strong ebb tides that sweep
through the roads, had perhaps gone
out TO sea with her crew and passen-
gers still safe. There was also the
chance that. having been run down by
some big steamer, the men had been
hauled aboard. while the launch had
gone down.
Naval officers at the department re
called many perilous passages between
ship and shore in these little steam
launches. But the general opinion was
that with careful management the
launches would weather almost any
kind OF q storm.

The trouble is we need more of the

able a colored man to meet death

deplore this unfortunate happening.
We hope to God it viii be localized
and viii not tend to stir up further
strife among the races. Our indi-
vidual opinion is that il will better
the condition of colored people in
other sections of that blood-stained
state. The Negro-hating white ele-
ments do not regard the lives of one
hundred Negroes a fair equivalent
FOR the death of four white men.
Let all of us be polite and obng-
ing and especially so TO the better
class Of white men in the Southland.
Despite adverse conditions aud APP
pearances to the contrary. we have
more white friends in this section
than we have ever had. This friend

We stood 250 years of degrading
slavery and we can withstand one

realize that only by this course can
this kind of treatment of citizens Of

God knows we are sadly hampered

OF our own people, but according "a
the record this man was not amongst

GIVE THEM PURE AIR.

The proposition to afford better ven.
tilation for the State House at Mont
pelier Is the result Of long hours Of suf-
feriug on the part Of Legislators who
have been compelled to sit around in
impure air Or neglect the duties which
they were sent ID Montpelier 70 per
form. Rather than leave the halls Of
legislation and thus run the chance Of
being declared derelict to their duties
they generally remained and injured
their health. There has been a crying
need for an improved yentiIatiDg sys-
tenn, and It is reasonable to suppose that
the state board Of health, after their
inspection yesterday win be thoroughly
convinced Of The necessity and recon.
mend to the sergeant-at arms that a
change be made. We shall have more
satisfactory laws when we furnish a
more satisfactory environment for their
framing.
