CRAMP HlNTS AT BUNCO GAME.
Says Speculators “'ant, to Unload Chew:
Vessels on the United States.
Philadelphia, March 8.—Charles H.
Cramp, head ’of the shipbuilding firm
- of Cramp & Sons, declares that the
widespread talk of Spain buying W31“
ships abroad and'the obtaining of op-
tions on these ships by the United
States is part of a. scheme instigated
by a syndicate of adventurers. Their
'1 purpose, he said, is to secure big com-
i
= man ship builders to unload on this
missions by helping English and Ger-
lGovernment many unsalable vessels
i
built either on spectulation or by con-
tract with minor governments that are
not able to pay for them.
Said Mr. Cramp: “The total value.-
tion of the ships involved in the deal is
about $15,000,000. The commissions
which the speculative syndicate would
receive for disposing of them to the
United States would ,be about 15 per
cent. of the selling price, or, say, $2,-
225,000 on the whole lot.”
Mr. Cramp said the syndicate is com-
posed of an Anglo—American manufac-
turing concern in England, one of the
most noted contract brokers in New
York city and certain concerns engaged
in the manufacture ofordnance mate-
rials in this country and abroad.

MIust Not Blame hIcK-inley for Her
Awkward Position Regarding Lee.
London, March: 8.—4 A'. M.—The
Times says editorially this morning:
“If Spain is placed in an awkward
position respecting the Lee incident
she must thank the indiscretion of her
Foreign Ofiice. Shekcannot blame Pres-
ident McKinley.
“Mr.- Cannon’s bill can hardly be ex-
plained by the Lee incident. It is
probable that Spain is purchasing war
vessels.
“We do not believe that Spain desires
war, but if she does, this evidence of
America's alertness offers a. most ef-
fectual check. President McKinley ap-
pears to be adhering loyally to the pol-
icy of firmness, caution and pacific cir-
cumspection he has hitherto pursued.
“No doubt he has the support of the
sober and conscientious mass of the
American people, but has had to face
outbursts of popular clamor that a.
weaker man might have mistaken for
the voice of the country.”
WASHINGTON WELL GUARDED.
Hostile Warships Would Be Blown.“
Pieces in Chesapeake, Bay.
Washington, March 8.——The W'ar De-
partment has been working night and
day ever since the Maine disaster to
fortify the water approach to the cap-
ital. It is now asserted that if 100 hos-
tile battleships steamed up Chesapeake
Bay to bombard Washington every one
would be blown to fragments before
they came within shooting distance of
Washington.
A formidable system of torpedoes and
mines have been placed in the Poto-
mac River. Fort W'ashington and
Sheridan‘s Point have been converted
into veritable Gibraltars by the. estab—
lishment of batteries of concealed 10—
inch rifles and mortars. The work has
been carried on swiftly and almost se-
cretly, and since it has been progress-
ing no one has been allowed to ap-
proach within many hundred yards of
the fortifications without an order from
the Secretary of War.
Three Outlaws Lynched.
Cheyenne, Wyoming, March 8,—Mea-
gre details were received here last
night of the lynching in the Henry
Mountains near the Wyoming-Colorado
boundary of three members of the
“Robbers’ Roost”. band of outlaws
which has been terrorizing that region
for several years. The men lynched
are Louis P. Johnson, F. Bemret and
an unknown man. Two weeks ago
Johnson murdered a. boy named Will-
iam Strong, at Valentine Hoy's ranch,
Wyoming. Hoy headed a. posse to pur-
sue Johnson and was ambushed and
killed Monday last. A posse of Hoy’s
friends, headed by Sheriff's deputies,
continued the pursuit and caught three
of the outlaws, who were promptly put
to death.
Relief Expedition in Seattle.
Seattle, Wash, March 8.—The Gov-
ernment's Alaska relief expedition,
with the 537 reindeer and 113 Lapland-
ers, which left New York last Tuesday,
March 1. at 6 P. 11., over the Pennsyl-
vania Road to Chicago, where it took
the St. Paul and Milwaukee to this city,
here transferring to the Great Northern
for the balance of the land journey,
reached here at 5.30 o’clock yesterday
afternoon, having made the unprece—
dented time for freight trainsof six
days from coast to coast. The rein-
deer all stood the journey well. The
Laplander children kept the measles
with them all the way from New York,
reaching Seattle with the whole twen-
ty—six suffering from that disease.
Senator Mills Withdraws.
Houston. Tex, March 8.-—The Post
prints a letter from United States Sen-
ator Mills in which lie-formally With-
draws from the race for re-electiol'i.
This leaves the field to Governor cul-
berSon. Mr. Mills gives as the princi-
pal reason for his withdrawal, the re-
cent action of the State Executive
Committee, which made a stringent
test for all persons desiring to partici-
pate” in Democratic primaries and con-
ventions. He also denies that he has
deserted bimetallism.
Nat Buying “En-ships Ourselves.
London, March 8.——The St. James’
Gazette says: “The United States is
not buying any war ships as long as
she does not feel the need for any out-
side reinforcements. It is understood
that the efforts of the United States
representatives in England are not di-
rected toward the purchase of war

from purchasing them." :

THE LATTIMERTRIAL.
Summing Up in tho' Celebrated Case—-
Mr. Scarlett’l Address.
Wilkesbarre, Pa... March 8.—Attorne'y
Scarlett, of counsel for the Common-
wealth, yesterday opened the argument
for the prosecution in the trial of
Sheriff Martin and his deputies; He
spoke for about two hours, and com-
manded the closest attention of the
vast audience. He held that the strik-
ers, had a. perfect right to march on
the public highway, and that Sheriff
Martin and his deputies had no right
to shoot down and kill them. He said
the strikers had committed no act of
violence, and consequently declined to
disperse when the Sheriff read his
proclamation.
M'r. Scarlett said: , “Michael Ceslak
and others left their homes the morn-
ing of Sept. 10, and in a. few hours they
were dead. For that day’s happenings
you have given your attention here
these Weary weeks. j At Lattimer that
day these people carried the American
flag and thought it ‘would protect them.
It was not the flag of anarchy. I want
this jury to remember that American
liberty was not bought with the blood
of Americans alone, but there are as-
sociated the names of Sobieski, Kosci-
usko and Zalinski. The day may come
when the Sheriff may at his judgment
take human life, but I hope that day
is far off. The Sheriff said that if they
went to Lattimer that day they would
go over his dead body. Was this to
provoke the strikers to violence and
thus make excuse for the shooting?"
Attorney Scarlett congratulated the
jury on the prospect of their speedy
release. No jury, he declared, ever sat
in judgmnt over so many, defendants at
one time.
Jude T. Lenahan, chief counsel for
th edefense, followed Mr. Scarlett. He
made a pathetic plea, and told how the
prosecution’s alleged crowd of 1,000
peaceable strikers were marching
about the mining hamlets armed to the
teeth, ferocious and armed with deadly
weapons, and driving men-from their
labor. He reviewed the case fully and
appealed particularly to the jury’s love
of law and order. W'hen he ended court
was adjourned.
This morning Mr. Palmer began the
closing plea for the defense, and Dis-
trict Attorney Martin will finish for the
Commonwealth. They probably will
take all day, and Judge Woodward will
deliver his charge to-morrow.
‘KlD M’COY CHAMPION.
The New Champion of the Ring—Fltzlm-
mons and Corbett Refused'to Meet. Him.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 8.—As the
six weeks’ time which McCoy has al-
lowed Fitzsimmons to either decline or
accept his challenge has expired, the
Kid has claimed the championship. He
will leave the $5,000 forfeit up to fight
any man in the world for the title.
Although the majority of the sport—
ing men laugh at McCoy when he calls
himself the champion, it must be con—
ceded, however, -that MCCoy is perfect-
ly right in claiming the title, as he had
his money posted for a fight with Fitz-
simmons, and as the latter has declined
to fight him, he is in every way enti-
tled to claim the championship.
Fitzsimmons, in the statement which
he gave out in Columbus recently, stat-
ed that he would fight McCoy at the
middle-weight limit, 154 or 158 pounds,
after'the Kid defeated Maher. There
is one thing, however, which Fitzsim-
mons ought to remember. He is the
recognized champion of the world and
he must defend the title against all
comers, if the challenger can secure a.
big side bet worth his while fighting
for.
Fitzsimmons has no right to tell Mc-
Coy that he must fight Maher, Shar-
key or any one else, just because Cor-
bett told him to do so, for McCoy is
willing to fight for $10,000 a. side, and
unless Fitz consents to fight McCoy,
the latter can claim the championship
of the world—a. thing which John L.
Sullivan never allowed any fighter to
do.
McCoy‘s next big battle will be with
Joe Choynski, which is scheduled for
Hot Springs on April 20.
lilies Brewster Granted a New Trial.
Rutland, Vt, March 8.——The Supreme
Court has sustained the demurrer of
Mildred Brewster. who killed Miss
\Vheeler, near Montpelier, and granted
her a new trial. Miss Brwster was
jealous of the woman she killed. When
she learned that her victim was dead
she put a bullet into her own head, but
survived. She is in prison. Her new
trial will begin during the present term
of the County Court.
The Yellow Fever Germ. ’
Chicago, March 8.«~—Dr. Edwin Klebs,
discoverer of the diphtheria germ, de-
clares he has also discovered the true
yellow fever germ. The professor is
still developing his theory. He says
he has proved that the cause of yel-
low fever must enter the system
through the mouth, and that infection
may be avoided by means of properly
sterilized food.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
The disaster to the Maine in the har-
bor of ‘Havana resulted in as great a
loss to the crew of that vessel as ever
occurred in the most serious sear fights
in which the navy of the United States
has been engaged in the past. It may,
however, prove to be only a forerunner
of what is to be expected of naval e11-
gagements in the future, for the mod-
ern hull, constructed of steel plates,
when they come in contact with mod-
ern projectile capable of such terrific
damage as that which can be hurled
from a thirteen-inch gun, have nothing
like the resisting qualities of the old
wooden frigate and three-deckcr man-
of-war. Still, officers of the navy take
pride in talking of what was accom-
plished by their predecessors in the old
days, and do not hesitate to say that
in a square fight, when they know
what they have to meet, they can
maintain the reputation of the navy 11‘.
the past.
The greatest of all naval victories
during the war of 1812 were not won
on the high seas but on the fresh
water lakes of Erie and Champlain.
In the former battle for the first time
in English history a British naval
squadron struck its flag and surren-
dered to the enemy at discretion. [The
two fleets were as nearly equal as ii
was possible to get them. Both had
been built on the lakes after great
difliculty during the year 1813. The
American fleet, commanded by Com-
modore Oliver Hazard Perry, ther
twenty-seven years old, was composed
of nine vessels of 1,671 tons, with fifty-
four guns, capable of throwing a
broadside of 938 pounds of metal, 01
which 288 pounds could be fired at long
range. The Lawrence named after the
unfortunate commander of the Chesa
peake, was the flagship. It and the
Niaraga were of 500 tons burden. The
other seven vessels were of slight con-
struction, without bulwarks, bui
armed with heavy long guns.
The British commander was Captain
Barclay, one of Nelson’s veterans, and
he was perfectly confident of victory
Perry moved out of Putin Bay on the
morning of September 15, 1813, with
his entire squadron. The fleets ap-
proached each other at about 11
o’clock. The bugle sounded from the
British_flagshlp and the men of the-
British line gave three cheers. The
long guns of the Detriot opened on the
Lawrence at a distance of a mile and
a half. By noon the battle was on in
earnest. In the duel which ensued be-
tween the Detriot and the Lawrence
the latter was reduced to a bulk. Perry
took his flag, which bore as a motto
Captain Lawrence’s dying words,
“Don’t give up the ship,” manned a
boat and was rowed through the
smoke and the volleys of the enemy
to the Niagara, and, hoisting his flag
on that ship, renewed the combat.

commander. The Queen Charlotte

the British fleet surrendered. Perry
sent 'a short account of the victory tc
the Secretary of 'the Navy, and then
sent to General W. H. H. Harrison
commanding the land forces, the fa-
mous lines: “\Ve have met the enemy
and they are ours.”

year, was almost as complete as For :

7- C-URhRENTV COMMENT.
An Anxcrican‘ who recently visited
Birmingham, the. great English irOn
centre. found that in constructing the
street trolley railroads or that city the
rails were made in Pittsburg, the cars
in Philadelphia, the boilers in Eric, the
engines in Milwaukee, and the general
electric fittings in Schenectady.
Philadelphia shows good taste in
many matters, but her water supply is
still so foul as- to force people to
choose between typhoid fever and the
“jim-jams.” A reform will ,no doubt
be accomplished there some day, but
that happy event does not appear to
be close at hand.
A new French police idea is to pro;~
vide each member of the force with a
piece of chalk. He is expected to mark
his assailants with this When he gets
in a row, and, being thus identified,
they can be arrested later. The chalk
cannot be snatched from him as easily
as his club, nor can it be turned
against the original owner with such
terrible effect, while the bearer of
chalk marks is entirely precluded from
setting up the favorite plea that he
was merely “an innocent bystander.”
On the whole, the piece of chalk de-
vice, while it has its disadvantages, is
not half a bad idea. ‘ ‘
Because Americans have not become
a nation of total abstainers, there are
many persons inclined to believe that
the temperance work of the last thirty
or forty years has not accomplished
much. Nevertheless figures can be
produced to show that there has been
a great decrease in the amount of
drinking. In .1860 the annual yearly
production of whisky was 2.86 gallons
per capita, While to-day it is but .97
gallons. The temperance people should
find much reason for encouragement
in those figures and good cause to re-
double efforts that have been so suc-
cessful.

was a time when the Floridians de.‘
lighted in stuffing credulous Northern
visitors with stories of the ferocity of
the alligator, who counted that day lost
that he did not have a nice plump boy
or girl for breakfast. If there was. any
foundation of truth in those tailes the
people of the State ought to rejoice
at being rid of the dangerous saurians,
but Florida has discovered that the
dead alligator is commercially valu-
able, while the live alligator attracts,
instead of repelling, Winter visitors.
Under such circumstances it is willing
to risk its sons and daughters if it
can only have the ’gators back again.
Glasgow, it seems, is not the only
- British city with enterprise enough to
build itself out of nothing. The city
10f Bristol has appropriated $7,500,000
. to build a dock at the mouth of the
lAvon capable of accommodating the
3 largest vessels, and is also taking steps
'to secure a steamship line. Glasgow,
it is said, has spent more than $100,-
000,000 in the improvements which
have made it, from a hamlet on a
creek, a magnificent city with a bar-
bor that ranks among the finest in the
, world. The point is that these cities
do work themselves, instead of wast-
ing years of time and losing millions of
:dollars worth of trade while waiting
'for the Government to do something
for them.
The free seeds which are being made
ready for distribution among the fav
ored constituents of Congressmen have
been stored in committee rooms at the
Capitol, and their presence there has
had the effect of inviting in an army
of mice, equal in number to the rats
that once overran Hamelin town. The
Capitol employes are at their wits’ end
to devise means of getting rid of the
pests, but no really practical sugges-
tions have yet been offered. There is-
just one really effective cure, and that
rests with the Congressmen them-
selves. All they need do is to abolish
the extravagant free seed oureau and
the mice will no longer find the Capitol
attractive.
The fight in the Maryland Legisla-
ture over the bequest of Enoch Pratt
was an interesting one from several
points of view. «Fifty years ago Moses
Sheppard founded an institution and
endowed it with a large Sum, on con-
dition that it should be called “the
Sheppard Asylum for the Insane.”
When EnOch Pratt'dled he left $1,500,.
000 to the same institution, with the
proviso that his name should be in-
serted in the title, making it ‘_‘the
Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Asylum for
the Insane.” It was contended that
this was derogatory to the memory of
the founder, that it would invalidate
the original foundations, and that ii
established a precedent which mighl
lead to an unwieldly aggregation oi
names in the titles of elemosynary in-
stitutions; The House of Delegates,
however, having in view the material
benefits. to be~ secured, ignored all
moral, legal, and aesthetic objections
and decided to‘comply with Mr. Pratt’s

WHERE LITTLE THINGS COUNT.
The Trouble for Bank Clerks 1! Their
Accounts Are Two Cents Short.
Bookkeeping has been reduced to
such an exact science in the big metro-
politan banks that the clerks are ex‘
pected to strike a correct balance at
the close of each day’s work no mat-
ter if the transactions run into the.
millions of dollars. W'hcn the books
fail to balance, the whole force‘of the
bank is put to work to discover the er-
ror. and no clerk starts for home until
It is discovered whether it amounts to
two cents or $2,000. Generally a quar-
ter of an hour will bring the mistake
to light. but sometimes the hunt is
kept up until late into the night. {
Such a search was being conducted
in a. New York bank located in the
vicinity of Wall street. Forty-five
cents were missing. At 6 o’clock not
1 trace of the errant sum had been dis-
covered. Dinner was sent in for the
whole force from an adjoining restau-
rant. and after half an hour’s rest
1119 search was again taken up. Mid-
night came. but still no clew, so sand-.
wiches and coffee were served.
“Hello!” said a clerk. “The Blank
National people are working tonight,- '
too. Guess they’re in the same box.”
Sure enough, the windows of the
bank across the street were brilliantly
lighted. The incident was soon for-
gotten when the wearying hunt after
that elusive forty-five cents was re-
sumed. Shortly after 1 o'clock in the
morning. as they were about to give
up for the night, a. loud rapping was
heard at the front door of the bank.
“Hello! Hello! W'hat‘s the matter?"
called the cashier through the key:
hole.
“Matter. you chumps. Why, we’ve
got your blamed old forty-five cents!
Come along home to bed!”
Outside stood the crowd of clerks
from the neighboring bank.

Insect Chewing- Gum.
A strange insect discovery has been
made in California. The vegetation in
this district is infesied with an insect
which, on being removed from the
twigs of oak on which it thrives, and
compressed in quantities by the hand
becomes a more or less pliable lump,
somewhat resembling rubber. Th1
substance makes admirable chewing
gum, as it takes and retains flavors bet;
ter than any other gums, although
doubtless many people would not cart
to chew it. It has other valuable, com-
mercial uses—Chicago News.
