WASHINGTON, D. C.. THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1889. THE DYNAMITE CRUISER. Legal Questions Likely to Arise Over the Acceptance of the Vessel. THE PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE VESSEL. WITH- OUT ITS GUNS BY SECRETARY WHITNET—HOW THIS COMPLICATES THE SITUATION—THE CASE OF THE DOLPHIN. It is more than likely that an interesting and rather intricate question of law in connection with the new dynamite cruiser Vesuvious will receive attention by the Secretary of the Navy. This vessel, built entirely under Mr. Whitney's administration of naval affairs, is still hanging on the ,tenterhooks of acceptance by the gov- ernment and has been for some months pay- ing a penalty of $200 a day tothe government. She was contracted for with the pneumatic dynamite gun company of New York, according to an act of Congress which admitted of no discretion, fixing her maximum price at #350,- 000. The dynamite gun people immediately sublet the contract for the ship to the Cramps of Philadelphia, who have constructed her without being in any way officially known to the gare All of the dealings have been with the dynamite | company, who have really only supplied the guns for the vessel. ‘THE TRIALS OF THE VESSEL. When the vessel was tried she made a mar- velous speed, exceeding her contract require- ment of twenty knots, The test, however, it is stated, was a most favorable one, being over a measured mile, without reference to the work- ings of the ship before and after passing the limits, Her steam, it is said, was bottled up to about 190 pounds, and she flew over the course at a great rate, but was all blown out when she passed the buoy at the other end. Then she turned slowly and, bottling up more steam, made another flirt over the course. PARTLY ACCEPTED BY MR, WHITNEY, When the time came for Mr. Whitney to re- tire the vessel had passed most satisfactory tests without reference to her dynamite appa- ratus—really the vital part of the ship—and al- most the last of his official acts was to sign a document stating that the vessel had complied with the contract in every particular except as to her guns. She had been tested as to her strength, speed, horse power and maneuvering qualities, and was accepted in those particulars, but he eld in abeyance her acceptance as far as her guns and their performance was con- cerned, In other words, he promulgated a partial acceptance of the ship, and it is this point that the contractors will’ probably ad- vance in favor of the remission of the heavy penalties suffered by them for the non-com- pletion of the ship within the prescribed time. SECRETARY WHITNEY'S OWN RULING. But, on the other hand, it is argued in the Navy department that Secretary Whitney had, according to an early decision of his own, no right to accept a vessel in part, leaving the re- mainder of her performances yet to be tested, This early decision was one it caused con. siderable commotion at the time of its nouncement and was made on the occasion of his entry into office. Secretary Chandler had just before signed an official acceptance of the dispatch boat Dolphin us far as some things were concerned, but left other qualities to be determined by his successor. ir, Whitney's first act was to declare this illegal, pronouncing the opinion that a partial acceptance of a vessel was impossible aud thut he alone had the right to pass upon the merits of the ship in toto. He, therefore, held up the Dolphin and kept her between heaven and earth, as it were, for a long time. Thus appens that he is now — in the same position as his predecessor, liable to be overruled by bis successor in the matter of accepting or rejecting a vessel. THE GUNS STILL TO BE PROVEN. The ship has earned no premiums and as she stands at present she has been a logs to the con- tractors. Her guns are still to be proven. They have broken two or three times and only the other day one of them cracked in the firi gear,eo that the tests will have to be postponed several weeks, The Cramps have fulfilled their contract with the dynamite gun company and will therefore lose nothing in all proba- bility. CAMPBELL AND FORAKER, What is Said Here of the Coming Cam- paign in Ohio. The nomination of James E. Campbell for governor of Ohio, by the democrats, is what has been expected all along. Democrats generally are pleased with the nomination, as Campbell is probably the most popuiar democrat in the state and ia sure to make as goodarun as any democrat can. Republicans praise the choice, though they do not think Foraker can be defeated. Camp- bell’s personal popularity, they — say, will eatly assist the _ democratic cause, but Ohio being decidedly a pro- tection state that party has no chance of success. Campbell himself has been known a8 @ protectionist, but his party, national and state, has been committed to tariff reform, and the platform adopted at the convention and Mr. Campbell's speech accepting the nom: tion, indorsed the party policy. A republican from Ohio, speaking with a Srar reporter said, however, that the fact of Foraker’s running for athird term and the existence of a feeling on the part of some of the leaders that “too much success is not good for the governor”—gives to Mr. Campbell more fighting room no he would have otherwise, No republican, how- ever, will confess a doubt of his party's suc- cess, Foraker hae his party organization in full control and whatever secret opposition there may be to him outside of this, must be restricted by the fact that no one can affurd to do the party an injury at this time. Democrats have bad too much experience in Ohio to be sanguine, even with as good a can- didate as byes, Bh in the field. They declare that there will be avery hot fight an say that they have strong hopes of success, both in the election of governor and the legislature. They say that the true meuning of tariff reform is better understood in Ohio than it was and that there is no need of dodging. The party in the state stands squarely with the national party on this question and they believe that they will have the support of a majority of the voters. In the nomination for governor the same plan was followed as in Virginia. that of nominating @ protectionist democrat pledged to tariff reform. The fight in the state, as far as the democrats are concerned, will by no means be confined to this issue. al ques- tions will occupy most of the attention per- haps, and attacks will be made on Foraker in juarters where he is supposed to have the most feeble hold on members of his party. The democrats are going into the fight as if they expected to win; aud no one has any doubts about the sort of contest Foraker will conduct. It promises to be hot from the start. FISH FOR THE YELLOWSTONE. 4 | Col. McDonald Muking Plans to Stock the Rivers and Lakes. Col. McDonald, United States fish commis- sioner, who yesterday returned to Washington from a tour of inspection of the fish commis- sion stations on the west coast and interior states, made a thorough inspection of the waters of the Yellowstone national park for the purpose of ascertaining what varieties of fishes ‘are best suited to them.

APPOINTMENTS FROM DEER PARK WASHINGTON’S ANNEX. The President Makes Two Appointments at Deer Park Today. Derr Park, Mp., Aug. 29.—President Harri- son made two New York appointments this morning. Gen, James M. Warner was appointed postmaster at Albany, N.Y., and John W. Bailey surveyor of the port at Albany. William McKinley, member of Congress from Ohio, had a long conference with President Harrison this morning. He expects to leave for Ohio tonight. Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson will make a longer stay than he intended. At the President's request he remains over until to- night. It is about settled that President Har- rison will not leave the mountains again until he goes to eninge. for a permanent stay. He may. however, decide to go to Baltimore September 9 to the exposition. rs, Harrison received word today that her sister had stood the journey well from Nan- a to Stamford, Conn., and was feeling much etter. Judge Samuel A. Bonner of Indiana called at the White House cottage this morning. THE CRONIN SUSPECTS, Judge McConnell’s Decision—Woodruff Alone Granted a Separate Trial. Cuicaco, Aug. 29.—The court room was not over crowded this morning when Judge McConnell took his seat, shortly after 10 o'clock. It was generally expected that he would refuse to grant separate trials to Cough- lin, Beggs, O'Sullivan and Burke and his de- cision to that effect was no surprise, Judge McConnell suid: “I cannot presume that any improper evidence will be offered by the prosecution in the coming trial or be ad- mitted by the trial judge, nor can I presume that the jury will make any improper specula- tion from the evidence aoe any one of the prisoners that would not be fair to the other prisoners.” The judge then overruled the motion for separate trials in the case of Coughlin. Burke, Boggs and O'Sullivan. Referring to Woodruff the judge said: “Woodruff, it appears, has made several confessions, the other defendants therefor could hardly have a fair trial if asso- ciated with him.” For this reason the judge granted the motion for a separate trial in Woodruff's case, Attorneys Forest, Donohoe and Kennedy at once asked leave to file bills of exceptions and were granted twenty days to file the billa, At- torney Forest then asked on behalf of Cough- lin that a jury be called and his trial be pro- ceeded with. The attorneys for other defendants, including Browne for W. , fol- lowed suit. Judge Longenecker asked @ contin- uance on the ground of the illness of Mr. Hynes, his associate counsel. This brought forth strong objections from the attorneys for the defense and quite a wrangle followed. Finally Judge McConnell disposed of the mat- ter by a continuance until 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. —_—_.—___ THE CHEROKEE STRIP. Mr. Carlisle Thinks Congress Will Open It to Settlement Next Winter. Wicnita, Kax., Aug. 29.—Ex-Speaker John G. Carlisle is in this city, having arrived from his trip to Mexico a couple of days ago. Being asked to express himself on the subject of the Cherokee strip Mr. Carlisle said: “I think there is no question that it will be opened to settlement, but just when 1 am not able to say, although I think Congress will settle it this winter. ‘The Springer bill, which included this strip, died with the last session of Congress, but it is safe to presume that a new bill of the same nature will be introduced this winter and it will have to go through the usual formula, I notice that Chief Mayes is re- ceiving a great deal of censure from the press that is uncalled for owing to the fact that, as an executive officer, his action in the matter of disposing of the Cherokee strip is controlled by the constitu- tion of the Cherokee Nation, which directly forbids the selling of the strip. I saw it stated that a treaty was made in 1873 authorizing the chief of the Cherokee Nation to sell the strip, If the constitution was in vogue at that time the act was unconstitutional, and if the con- stitution was adopted since 1873 it annulled that act. When the Cherokee legislature meets this winter I presume that the sale will be made. If not the government will probably condemn the strip, appoint appraisers and take possession of the land on the same prin- ciple that property is condemned for railroad purposes, THE WORK OF THE RUSH. Fourteen Sealers Boarded and Warned Away, Besides Six Captured. Sax Francisco, Aug. 29.—A letter was re- ceived from an officer of the United States steamer Richard Rush by the steamer St. Paul, which arrived from Ounalaska Tuesday night, stating that on August 6 the Rush captured the British sealing schooner Lilly of Vancouver while taking seals in the Behring sea, The schooner was searched and 300 skins were found, which were placed on board the Rush, A prize crew of one man was placed on board and the Lilly sent to Sitko. The seized sealers will have their cases tried in the Alaska district court. The Rush will pro cisco when relieved by the Bear at Ounalaska. In all there have been fourteen sealers boarded by the Rush aud warned out of the Behring sea, besidessix captured. The St. Paul brought down 100,000 seal skins, Consul Marvin Not Interested. Sax Faancisco, Aug. 29.—A Victoria, B.C., dispatch says: The report that Vice Consul Marvin at Victoria is interested in the seized sealing schooners ie not the case, E. B. Mar- vin, ship chandler and part owner of the Sap- phire. and Vice Consul Marvin are different persons, Frank, who has figured as the owner of the schr.

Mansremeap Neck, Mass., Aug. 29.—The fifth and last race of the Corinthian yacht club's series for 40-footers was started at 11:30 a.m, today. In connection with today’s race the Alice, Papoose and Gorilla will sail for the Carroll cup. The wind is light from the north- east, and, as there is a heavy sea outside, the race will be a slow one. The boats crossed the line in the following order: Minerva, Papoose, ‘Chiquita, Gorilla, Alice. ———— THE IRISH PARTY. Its Position on the Catholic College En- dowment Project. Dusurm, Aug. 29.—Uniled Ireland, in a lead- ing editorial, informs the radicals that the po- sition of the Irish party regarding the project for the endowment of a Catholic college is the same as when it squelched the scheme for an underhand treaty with Rome, sought to be ne- gotiated by Lord Salisbury and the Irish union- ist bishops, who now ready to sell Ireland to Balfour for a mess of pottage if they only had the country to sell. The nationalists would welcome any genuine effort to settle the Irish question le by par- liament above board and would try to make it genuine. There their position en: They do not ask nor do they expect assistance from the radicals. They fight for great principle, which the radicals also indorse. The question is one which should be settled by an Irish par- liament, but, wanting that, the nationalists must be content in the meantime to take what reforms and English parliament offers. smend_ao A MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS. No Legislation Restricting Present Ine ternational Transportation Facilities, Mrxneapouis, Mrxy., Aug. 29.—A special to the Tribune from Sault Ste Marie, Mich., says: “We want no action of Congress which, aided by frosts of winter, will choke up this gat way from the northwest to the ocean. We demand free passage for the products of the northwest without any hindrance by any body of men called Congress or interstate railway commis- sion.” These were the words of F. A. Flower of West Superior, chairman of the railway con- vention which met here yesterday. The con- vention was called to draw a memorial to Con- gress against legislation interfering with free interchange of traffic between Canadian and American con Delegates are here from Minnesota, Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Iowa. Letters were read from the Minueapolis chamber of com- merce saying that they were with the convention in spirits; also resolutions from the Detroit chamber of commerce in the same line. The memorial to Congress was then reported by the ee on resolutions and adopted, as fol- lows: Whereas attempts have been made to pro- cure by congressional legislative enactments and treasury regulations restrictions upon the international transportation facilities at pres- ent afforded the American consumer and pro- ducer; aud Whereas the interests of the east, west and nortiiwest would be seriously affected by «uch restriction und the food producing districts of the northwestern portion of the Union un- necessarily and unjustly burdened by unfriend- ly legislation and international traffic, and Whereas the bouded and transit system has been confirmed by treaty of mutual interests and international comity demand that if any lations are deemed nevessary by any con- sidsrable portion of the people ey should be formulated and adjusted in like manner and not otherwise: Resolved, That we hereby affirm our ad- herence to the principle of an unrestricted in- ternational railway transportation and demand of our cepeeneent, representatives ned os s mi or restriction im, secon br ‘the conference and consent of the people of the two countries interested. Resolved, That a free and cheap of international transportation is a fun ental aud necessary principle of public and individaal prosperity. Resolved, That we request our Senators and Representatives in Congress to oppose any legislation restricting present international transportation facilities as injurious to the in- terests of the people and burdensome to the producer and consumer. —— PRACTICALLY NO CHANGE. The Great Strike in London Still Con- tinues, Loxpon, Aug. 29.—There is practically no change in the situation this morning and the strike still continues. A mass meeting of the great army of the unemployed was held today. About four thousand of the strikers were in attendance. John Burns addressed them, predicting that their demands would be acceded to today. He said all the indications pointed to a victory for the men if they were firm and united, The wharfingers have offered to employ the dock men on independent docks, but the prop- osition has not been accepted. The strike is seriously affecting the northern coal trade. ta caetio-nck ia A New Rallroad Incorporated. Exizaseru.

WORK OF WHISKY MEN. A Prohibition Newspaper Office De- " molished by a Mob. Vater Crrz, D. T., Aug. 29.—The office of the Times-Record of this city was completely demolished by a mob Tuesday night. The edi- tor of the paper is a pronounced prohibitionist and has used his influence with telling effect both in local affairs and in the recent state con- vention.
