The, Naval Display.

Norfolk, Va, April 26.-The deep throated guns of five great nations to-day voiced salute in unison to the American flag and to the presi- dent of the United States. The reverbrating boom of the cannon sped laundering and echoing over the waters of the far famed Hamp- ton Roads, where nearly half cen- tury ago the Monitor and the Merri- mac met in the memorable conflict which brought into being the arm ored craft of war. From the little Yankee cheesebox set upon. a raft" and the rectangular mass of iron which carried the confederate flag fn I862,. to the modern fight ma chimes typifled by the flower of the American navy gathered in holiday assemblage to-day, is far cry.

The Spring Regatta.

New Haven. April 26.-It was an nounced to-day that the spring re- gattas of the Yale Rowing associa- tion will be held on the New Haven harbor instead of Lake Whitney, where they have been held for many years. The regatta will take place near the boathouse and temporary bridges will be built near the start and finish of the course for specta- tors. The shift in the scene of the annual events is made to enable the crew. which is backward this year, to get the most good out of the re- gatta-

They believe that uf6C VlsltOrS VIII concede that within a short time the
 management can offer an attraction
 that will reflect credit and of which
 the nation will be proud to acknOwl- edge the sponsorship proclaimed to-
 day by President Roosevelt At the same time they see that the reports of these early visitors will not be
 favorable and therefore some heroic measures must be taken to counter act them. Therefore it has been an nounced that some of the buildings are unready and must be closed to the public. May 15 has been fixed as the day when the directors of the exposition hoped to be able to open all features of the show. There seems ample ground for the belief that most of the buildings and streets will be ready in few weeks. Some of the exposition officials ad- vised several weeks ago that the in augural date be postponed to May IS, the 300th anniversary of the set clement of Jamestown, instead of having 1t to-day, the ter-centennial of the landing of the English at Cape Henry, but the contracts with con- cessionaries prohibited the change. It is agreed in these contracts that the exposition should be opened from April 26 until November 30. This does not interfere, however. with the closing of main buildings provided the gates remain open to the public. The United States government build ing. forming, undoubtedly, one of the most interesting features of the exposition, is all ready and will, of course, be open. The states exhibit palace is also complete in every de- tail of construction and installation.

COMES OUT Of STATE PEN|TENT|ARY
RnorS lConmed BY Warden KnCad are Circulated to Effect
That One Official Has Been Charged With fagan Abuse
of 0ffiCe--Martn In Insane Ward

According to statements gaining wide
circulation on the streets of Walla
Walla charges of a most sensational
nature have been preferred against one
Of the high officials at the penitentiary.
An investigation resulted but so far
as yet divulged, the only outcome mas
been the extraordinary action of the
warden in combining DR.. Martini, the
complaining witness, in wing 81 ordi-
narily used for insane convicts.
AS is usual, when matters of a SEN
sational nature happen at the prison,
orders for the strictest secrecy are is
sued and it is impossible to secure
from Warden Kincaid, or his subordi-
mates, denial or confirmation of the
story. The warden refuses to either
deny or confirm the tale and, when
closely questioned, sought refuge in
evasive answers.
According to the story told. the Of
fetal mentioned has access and almost
complete control of the hospital ward.

LIFE BOATS TO SAVE PEOPLE

EUREKA, Cal, March 1.-The steam
er Corona, went aground on the North
spit of Humboldt bar shortly after II
o'clock this morning and now lies in
dangerous position. None of the
passengers have been taken off, and
huge waves are washing over the YES
sci. The steamer Roanoke is stand
ing by. How the vessel went aground
is a mystery as the weather is clear
and there is no wind although there
is a heavy sea- The vessel struck
bow on, and will probably be a total
wreck. AS soon as she struck great
waves began pounding her unmerci-
fully.
The panic stricken passengers sought
refuge in the stern. Two tugs have
gone to the scene but at noon they
were unable to get within a quarter
of mile of the illfated steamer A
life saving crew stationed at the bar
has succeeded in reaching the north
spit and is making preparations to
effect rescue.

used his office to further Illicit relations
with some of the women Convicts who
were taken into the hospital ward for
that purpose. The names of three
women cOnvicts are mentioned in con-
nection with the gross violations and
it is declared that one of them con-
fessed and exposed the others.
Warden Kincaid is said to have been
informed of the affair through COM
plant made by DR.. Martini. An in
vestigation was held, but the result
was not made public. Neither is it
known whether the charges and find
ings were forwarded to the board of
