The Fate of the Oneida.
One of the most extraordinary catas-
trophies that have befallen vessels of
the United States destroyed the sloop
of war Oneida in 1869. She was bound
homeward, with jolly ships COM
pany, eager to see wives and sweet
hearts and native land once more.
when not far out OF port she was
struck by the British steamer Bombay
coming in. The stem OF the Bombay
cut Off the stern of the Oneida. The
ship was sinking rapidly. and guns of
distress were Immediately fired. but
the Bombay steamed on her way and
left the vessel to her doom. She went
down, and all but one or two of her
crew We're drowned. The captain of
the Bombay gave no other reason for
his conduct than that he had Lady
Eyre, the wife of a distinguished Brit
ish satrap, on board and did not wish
to disturb her nerves with scenes of
shipwreck. He was mobbed when he
reached Yokohama, dismissed from
the service, socially tabooed from that
time on and died in disgrace Il year or

There was set up in the seventeenth
century at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight,
what is probably the most curious
piece of art eXtant, erected to the
memory of Sir Robert Holmes, n Brit

odd circumstance is that the statue
was not originally designed for Holmes

the figure. bat III the rough as to the
head, was bcing taken to France on
an italian vessel when it was captured
by British man-ofwar commanded
by Holmes. Upon perceiving the un-
finished condition of the statue
Holmes, with grim humor, compelled
the artist, who had accompanied his
work, to chisel his (Holmeso head on
the kings body. And so it stands to-
day. Holmes was eventually made
governor Of the Isle of Wight, which
fact accounts for the location Of this

GOMPERS BALKS AT
ROCKEFELLER PLAN

Washington, March 24-'Mr Rockefel-
Ter asks to take in all trade union menu
bers as partners, at least in sharing the
expenses of administering his founda-
tion." says Samuel Gompers In the April
issue of the American Federationist, in
discussing the trade unions part in the
Rockefeller foundation.
''In his act of Incorporation Mr.. Com
pers continues, The petitions that the per-
sonal property and funds of the founda-
ton be exempt from taxation. BY the
amount of that exemption the taxes on
all other mems labor and property must
be increased and the trades unionsts of
the country, as the leading organization
of wealth creators, would carry a very
considerable percentage of that additional
burden
Mr.. Gompers says Mr.. Rockefeller
might have confined the terms of his
encompassing phrase that the foundation
was to be employed 'in the promotion of
any and all the elements of human
progress.
1.-The truth is" said Mr.. Gompers, we
balk at accepting a partnership under
our government with Mr.. Rockefeller I'M
til we feel sure that the civic relations
in which we are already bound up with
him and which have made his heaped-
up millions possible, are approximately
correct. The starting point at which we
may join hands with him and take prece-
dence of all-seeing providence in promot-
ing the welfare of humanity. inevitably
must be after readjustment of at least
the grosser forms of todays inequitable
economic relations in our country" &
