HAWSER SUNK LAUNCH
Only One Body Found on the Mime
sofas Boat When Raised.

Norfolk Va June 15.-Colonel John w. CAST,
supervising Inspector Of steam vessels for this
district, with two assistants. arrived here to-
day just as the Minnesota's launch was being
lifted from it's resting place at the bottom Of
Hampton Roads by a big naval derrick. Colo
mel Oast Immediately boarded the derrick. and
with the members of the naval board of inquiry
inspected the launch After careful examina-
tion 1t was found that the boat had run into
steel hawser such as is used in towing railroad
car floats. The brass prov of the launch showed
signs of having struck the hawser, which then
passed under the keel of the craft. When the
cable struck the keel near the propeller II came
into contact with the condenser pipes, which
torn away and the shock threw the launch
over on its starboard side. which was crushed
in. end the craft went to the bottom with its
eleven occupants
Part of the null was crushed by the impact
with the cable, but the steamboat inspectors
and the members of the naval board of inquiry
expressed the opinion that the vessel was not
struck by a barge or tug. but had been hit by
the cable between tug and a float. The
inspector has summoned the crews of the big
New York Philadelphia and Norfolk tug Girls
field. and a barge which the tug had in tow to
testify at an investigation which will in held in
this city. The inspectors believe that was the
Crsfelds hawser that struck the launch.
The only body found on the launch was that
of George w Westphal, first class fireman.
There trace of the six midshpmen or the
other four seamen. The body of Westphal was
taken to the naval hospital at Portsmouth The
derrick, with the launch on board, was towed to
the Norfolk Navy Yard. The search for the
other bodies continues.

A Small Horror,

The weasel is one small horror AS

once he has settled to the track of a
rabbit that particular bunny is indeed
in grave peril. The rabbit seems to
know it, too and the knowledge to
half paralyze him. for he seldom at

top speed. And the end OF the patient,
if-we-do-but-wait sort of pur-
suit. IT'S indeed bloody murder. The
flend within angel garb finally tolls
within deadly distance. There is a
snakelike stroke. most likely aimed at
the big vein near the butt Of the rab-
bits ear. Once there. the brute sticks
leechlike to the blood sucking. while

change and the banks closed at noon
today without any further failures of
Importance, with considerable i'm
provement in the stock market and
with several important remedial meas
ures taken or agreed upon to streng-
then the financial situation. The only
reverse of the day was the suspension
Of the Terminal Bank, Brooklyn, a
new and small institution without any
Importance in the general financial
world. There is now breathing spell
until Monday morning, and there is
distinct sense Of relief apparent every
where. Already arrangements for the
importation of gold are we'll under
way and it is hoped these will furnish
the relief needed. 1t is understood
that the treasury department will, as
heretofore, advance the gold for i'm
mediate use SO as to save the time
occupied in transit from Europe.
Meanwhile as precautionary meas
ure, although not regarded vitality es-
sential. the clearing house today au-
thoriZed the issuance of loan sertifi-
Gates. This means that the clearing
house banks are to present a united
front in this emergency and that the
aggregate resources of all of them are
to be pledged for the maintenance of
each.
The runs upon the Trust Company
of America and the Lincoln Trust COM
pany continued in much abated form
and both institutions met all demands
The drafts of country banks on
their New York reserves were heavy,
but at this period OF the year such
drafts are to be expected for the pur-
pose of moving the crops.
The imposition of the ninety day
rule in Rhode Island stopped runs
there and matters assumed a normal
phase.
Confidence Abroad.
The stock market opened at an ad-
vance on yesterday and showed little
symptoms of serious agitation. Lon
don and other foreign points also gave
reassuring advices. The rate Of eX-
change was such as to facilitate gold
imports and confidence abroad was
evidenced by the improved tone OF all
foreign bourses, the only weakness APP
parent being the result of failure in
Constantinople and the financial cri-
sis in Chile. On the whole the power
of resistance of the banks in New
York and the stability reported from
all outside points brought the week to
close with a feeling that the general
position was greatly improved.
The event in the financial situation
today was the determination of the
clearing house in full session to issue
clearing house certificates.
