A War Vessel to be Proud Of.»
The builders’, trial trip of the ar-

mored Cruiser New York shows the
new vessel to be the swiftest of its.

kind afloat, and better still that its
powerful machinery is so perfectly ad-
justed as to require no service-to ren-
der the bearings smoooh.‘ In a trip
consuming nearly five days, says the
Philadelphia Times, the engines did
not need to be stopped or slowed down
for any cause, and in the supreme trial,
during which a speed of nearly twenty
and a half knots was maintained, the
conditions ,usually allowed for such a
trial, including picked coal and the ex-
treme limit of forced draft, were, not
present. In other words, the builders’
trial with new and untried machinery
and under ordinary conditions showed
the vessel capable of exceeding its con-
tract speed.

That the conditions will be better
and the speed attained still greater
when the official trial trip is made is
scarcely to be doubted. A vessel that
shows such perfect working qualities
with the machinery new and untried
will be an exception to all Other vessels
. of its class if its highest rate of speed
is reached on its first trial. But if it
never does better than it did on Satur-
day outside the capes of the Delaware
it will still be the fastest vessel Of its

kind afloat and a source of pride and.

admiration to all who take an interest
in the new American navy.

Philadelphia is eSpecially to be con-
gratulated. on this the crowning ac-
hievement of ”its leading ship-build-
ers. When the policy of political ship-
building was abandoned by the United
States Government the beginning of a
real American navy was possible. In
building warships that could either run
or fight with the best the world has yet
produced the Cramps have led the way.
each succeeding ship doing better,than
the contractspecifications required,and
each outdoing its immediate predeces-

r . The total result isan overwhelm-
ing demonstration of the superiority of
the busines method of building a navy
over the political method.

The Conditions Reversed.

The Judge was afflicted with a son-in-
law himself, and when a prisoner, as a
result of .a domestic row, was brought
before him he was disposed to be lenient,

“ Well,” he inquired kindly, “ I hear
you and your daughter’s husband have
been in trouble?” _

“ That’s what I’m here for,
honor,” responded the prisoner.

“ Tell us about it,” said the court.

“ Well, your honor, there ain’t much
to tell, but by the way he beat me up
you’d think I was his son-in-law instead
of him being mine, and—”

“ That’ s enough ” interrupted the
Judge “Case dismissed. ”—Detroit Free

A Dog's Sense of Shame.

That dogs possess the sense of shame
is proven by the : following fact: Mr.
Raymond, of the Brandenburg Manu-
facturing Company, is the owner of a
valuable Newfoundland, who glories in
the proud name of Dude. A short time
ago, on acCount of the heat, Mr. Ray-
mond determined to have him sheared.
After the operation the dog slunk away
under the porch and hung, his head in
shame. Nothing could induce him to
raise his eyes, and no coaxing could
bring him forth until hunger compelled
him. He knew he was endeshabille.
It was a clear case of shame—Cincinnati
Commercial.

:7 A Great Phenomenon.

At the head of the Gulf of Bothn’ia
there is a mountain on the summit of
which the sun shines perpetually during
the 'five days of June 19, 20, 21, 22 and
23. Every six hours during this season
of continual sunshine a steamer leaves
Stockholm crowded with visitors anx-
ious to witness the phenomenon. At the
same place during winter the sun disap-
pears and is not seen for weeks; then it
comes in sight again for 10, 15 or 20
minutes, gradually lengthening its stay,
until finally it stays in sight continuously
for upWard of 120 hours. —St Louis Re-

‘ Lifting the Hot.

The custom of .lifting the hat had its
origin during the ‘age of chivalryfwhen
it was customary for knights never to
appear in public except in full armor.
It became a custom, however, for a
knight, upon entering an asSembly of
friends, to remove his helmet, signify.
ing, “I am safe in the presence of
friends. ”

The age of chivalry passed away with
the fifteenth century, but among the
many acts of courtesy which can be
traced back to its influence none are
'rnore direct in its origin than that of
‘Iifting‘the hat to acknowledge the pres-
ence of a friend—Free Press.

members of the

State officials, Senator
Assembly and many la ics.‘ .'

The General’s old friend, exp-Senator _

William H. Robertson, Mrs. Husted and
her children, were notable among those
present.

Mr. Depew told how}; '.hd first met, in
the Fall of 1852, upon the campus at Yale
College, the man who was destined to be
his lifelong friend, James W. Husted,
then a handsome youth, and who alter-
wards, when his political star was in the
ascendancy, served 22 terms in the House
of Assembly, and was Six times its Speak-
er, a record unequaled either in length of
service or in the number of elections as
presiding officer of the pOpular branch Of
the Legislature in the history of the
State.

Mr. Depew then eloquently reviewed:

the career of Gen. Hustdfi, painting in
glowing colors his varied achievements,
and closed his flood of Oratory witha
thrilling peroration. .

SAT ON THE ASSEMBLY.

The New York Senate Will Not Agree as
, to Adjournmentf’

ALBANY, N. Y., March. 29.—There is. a
serious difference in theDemocratie ranks
as to when adjournment should take
place. Speaker Sulzer, after consultation
with CrOker in New York and Gov.
Flower here, sent forth the decree that
adjournment must be had not later than

April 14.

It is known that some members are ex-
ceedingly restive under the restraints
put upon them, and should the session
drag on there is no telling to what guer-
rilla tactics they might be tempted. This,
at any rate, is the fear of the leaders, and
so yesterday morning Mr. Quigley 'intro-
duced and had passed a Concurrent reso-
lution fixing adjournment for April 14.

When the resolution reached the Son-
ate Mr. McCarren was in the chair.
Lieut.- Gov. Sheehan at onc's‘ began a per-
sonal canvass of the members against it.
When he had concluded he took the
chair and McCarren made a vigorous at-
tack on the resolution, saying its passage
by the Assembly was an ‘act of dis-
courtesy. Then the grave Senators,
jealous of their' dignity, slapped the
House in the face by unanimously reject-
ing the resolution.

 

 

For Lower Telephone Rates.

ALBANY, March 29.—The Senate Com-
mittee on Miscellaneous Corporations
yesterday afternoon took up Senator Mc-
Mahon’s bill creating a State Commission
to fix telephone rates. Silas: M. Giddings
and C. C. Shayne spoke stronglyin favor-
of the bill, as did Jeremiah Fitzpatrick,
representing the New York Board of
Trade. A hearing will be given the Tole-
phone Companies some time next week.

 

A Medical Bill Beaten.
ALBANY, N. Y., March‘2'9 —The Senate
has defeated—four yeas to 15 nays—‘As-
semblyman Hennessy’ 5 bill to exempt

THE NEW AMBASSADORS. j ‘

It is Not Believed Their ”loci-cased Privi-
leges Will Affect Their Status Much.
WASHINGTON, March 29.—To what ex-

tent Sir Julian Paunceioto and M. Pate-

notro, the English and French Ambassac
dors respectively, will avaibthemselves of
the privileges to which their recent pro“
motion ‘entitles them, according to diplo-
matic usage, isa ghostion that has been
discussed in the 0 else particularly in-
terestod in the past few days. It ilmot
believed that the change in rank will
alter the existing condition of things' in

Washington, althoagh it will undoubted-

ly be to the advantage oi- o'ur diplomatic

representatives in EurOpe. It is extreme-
ly doubtful that Sir Julian Pauncofote or

M. Patcnotre w: ll care to exercise any of

his privileges, or whether, When he goes

to the State Department, he will be given
precedence over Envoys. That is a mat-

uter for Secretary Gresham to regulate.

IIIVIBES IIIUII WHIWIII

 

Political Situation

/

 

WAS FORESTALLED.

 

Seclusion.

 

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.'—The United
States steamship Alliance arrived from

days, bringing news that all is quiet in

changed.

A movement is on foot for political or-
ganization among all the friends of an-
nexation for .thé purpose of supporting
the Government and to assist in soon;-
ing the annexation of the islands to the
United States. i

The Provisional Government is admin-
istering public affairs in a conservative
manner, and is strengthening its lines in
every way. This is being done in order
to maintain the situation until such time
as the, United Stdtes shall complete meas-
ures for taking the’ islands into the fold.

. The sentiment in favor of annexation,

notwithstanding the representations to
the contrary, has been gaining ground,
and many of those who originally op-
posed it are now among its ardent sup-
porters.

Ex-Queen Liliuokalani remains se-
cluded, and refuses to see any one, with
the exception of certain persons who
stand nearest to her. To those whom
she does consent to give audience she do-
clines to talk over the revolution further
than to say that . her entire interests are
in the hands of Paul Newman. The news
of the visit of Princess Kiulanito America
and her written appeal to the people of
the United States provoked only amuse- '
ment at Honolulu. Astory is current
that the Princess is engaged to marry the
son of Davies, her guardian.

It is believed that Japan had designs
upon the islands, owing to the employ—
ment of a large number of her subjects on
the‘ sugar plantations. Chief“ Justice
Judd, in speaking about the matter, in-
stanced first that the captain. of the'Jap—
snese cruiser N aniwa had called upon the
Provisional Government and said that if
the United States abandoned its protec-
torate the Japanese would consider that
no government existed on the island and
would raise their flag.

said to be profiting through the remun-
erative labors bf their subjects, and an-
other thousand oi them have left Japan
for ’ Hawaii. British Minister Wode-

anese Commissioner, and it has even been
charged that Wodehouse has advised the
Commissioner as to his policy.

Col. Volney Ashford, who was obliged

what the Provisional Government is now
seeking to b1 111g about, nam 31y, annexa-
tion, in conversation with a reporter,
said that Japin was a powor not to be de-
spised, and be was satisfied that the

nex or establish a protectorate on the
islands had she not been forestalled by
Minister Stevens-» . . g

P. R. Jones, the Minister of Finance of
the Provisional Government, has re-'
signed on account of ill health, and T. B.
Porter has been appointed to succeed
him.

THEIR GASES SUSPIGIOU’S. .

Two Persons Taken Ashore to See if They
Have Cholera.

HALIFAX, March 29.—The steamer Lake
Superior, from Liverpool, which arrived
yesterday, brought 470 passengers, all
bound for points in the United States.
Among the number were two cases of
suspicious illness. The patients were
removed to the Victora General Hos-
pital, where they will remain until it is
date mined whether or not they have
the cholera. The names of the patients
are CarlEriickson of Stainvang, Norway,
ticketed to Chicago, and Mertha Johanna
Neilsdotter, from Bergen, Norway, for
Hope, N. D.

Dr. McDowall of Washington, D. C.
visited the patients at the hospital about
noon. He does not think they are suffer-
ing from any infectious disease, but
should such be the case, he says, it will
develop within the next 12 hours.

 

To Assist Secretary Smith.

Bnnroan, Pm, March 29. -—John M.
Reynolds was summoned to Washington
on Saturday, and while there had a talk
with Secretary Hoke Smith. It is' rumored
that Mr. Smith offered him the place of
Assistint Secretary. He has been a warm
friend of President Cleveland, and wi‘s a
delegate to the lost two National Conven-
tions. He is close to National Chairman
Harrity, who is sold to have presented
his name at Washington.

 

Securing the Country for Her.

NYACK, N. Y., March 29. -—Mra Mar.-
garet Maroney, 65 years old, of Piormont,
disappeared very mysteriously Monday
noon, and thus for the most diligent.
search has revealed no clew to her where-
abouts. Parties to search for her have
been formed in the neighborhood and
are now scouring the country.

 

The Nsronic is Given Up. .

PORTLAND,- Mm, March 29.- The steam.
ship Labrador of the Dominion lino ar-
rived here yesterday. Upon inquiry be-
1113 made as to the fate of the steamship
Ndronic the officers stated that it is gen-
orally conceded in Liverpool that tho
Nuonio has gone to the bottom and that

her crew of 80 souls are lost.
