She is to have the largest boilers yet put into a ship in this couintry—sixteen feet six inches in di- ameter. Her battery will be somewhat different from that of the New York, though it has not yet been definitely decided upon. It is probable, however, that she will carry ae guns instead of six and will ven a larger number of smaller guns, so as to make her more effective against unarmored vessels. The bat- tleship will also be larger than those now under construction, having a displacement of 11,400 tons. It is the desite of the department to give her power to operate at aconsiderable distance from her coalimg base, and consequently she will carry about 400 tons of coal more than the three vessels now being built. She will havo erigines of 16,000 horse power, 2,000 more than the other battle ships and will be able to steam seventeen knots per hour as against their sixteen. She will bave a higher free-board, so as to get the guns higher out of the water, and on ac- count of the recent advances made in the man- wacture of armor in this country it is probable she :nay have the weight of her armor reduced somewhat. The principal change contemplated in her battery is in the reduction of the size of her heaviest guns from thirteen inches to twelve inches in caliber. She will carry eight eight- inch guns and about the same number of smaller guns as the other battle ships. aromas asm aberomarsie sacle Senator Carlisle on Silver. John &. Lyne of Henderson, Ky., wanted to know where Senator Carlile stood on the silver question, «o he wrote hima letter of inquiry, and to this the Senator has responded at con- siderable length. “The answer to your question,” writes the Senator, ‘depends largely apon what you mean by ‘the "free ¢: of silver.’ If you mean the policy urged by many under which the goverhment of ‘the United States would be compelled by law to receive 68 cents’ worth of silver bullion, when presented by the owner, and coin it at the expense of all the people of thecoun- try,ang compel the people by law to receive the coin as the equivalent of 100 cents, my answer is that Iam not now arid never have been in| favor of it, Istand now where my lamented | ‘predecessor, Mr. Beck, and I stood together in 1378, when the so-called ‘Pland~Allison ill” wee passed by Congress, under which the Secretary ‘the Treasury was required to purchase and coin monthly not less than $2,000,000 nor more than ‘$4,000,000-worth of silver bullion. “When that bill the House of Repre- sentatives it provided for the free and unlim- | ited coinage of the silver dollar, but after it went to the Senate Mr. Beck offered an amend- ment which provided thatthe Secretary of the ‘Treasury should purchase at the market price each month not less than $3,000,000 worth of silver bullion, or as much more as could be coined at the mint, the seniorage to be paid in the treasury, and whenever the bullion could not be purchased at less tHan par with legal tender notes any owner of silver bullion might deposit it for coinage on the same terms as gold was deposited.” ne eee A Monument to the Late Senator Plumb.

Twenty People were present. Six horses were lakes relative to the terms of the retaliatory measures authorized by Congress against Canada for the discriminating tolls levied upon American ships in Canadian waters, The dele- gition was Beaded by ¢x-Co R. C. Parsons of Cleveland. It is claimed American vessels passing through tho'Welland canal and landing their cargoes at American ports pay a duty of 20 cents per ton, while if they land the same cargo in Canada, just across the lake, they are entitled to and receive a rebate of aboutel8 cents per ton. As all Canadian vessels are per- mitted to pass through the Sault Ste. Marie en- tirely free of charge, the same as American vessels, and through ’ the St. Clair Flats canal, this diserimination against American citizens is regarded as burdensome, unfair, unjust and in Violation of the plain treaty obligations, meal ara heme Probal Change of the Chinese Minister. As published in Tux Stas yesterday the state- ment is made that the Chinese minister will probably be replaced in afew weeks, his suc- cessor being named as Mr. Shui, formerly sec- | retary of the legation here, and now holding a Place under his government in China. It is alleged as tht reason for the change that the Eaperor of China is much displeased with the course of Mr. Tsni, the present minister, in his alleged transactions looking to the establish- ment of an international bank in China, and as | a result of information sent from this country tothe Chinese officials, calling their attention to publications in the papers reciting these fasts, the emperor has ordered an investigation | into the matter. This investigation has been going ‘on for some time in China, and as a result the minister will probably be recalled defore his termexpires in October next, when in the edurse of ordinary procedure he ‘would have been relieved from duty as minister to this —- as well as minister to Peru, which country id included in bis missio —_-e-_____ A Well-Known Chicago Physician's Suicide.

Brown of Maryland has submitted a re- Port to the State Department upon the recent arrest ag Bay Ridge of Dr. Georg, an attache of the Swiss legation. He says: ‘‘It is clear that under an accusation, for which there was not the slightest color of excuse, Dr. Georg has been subjected to gtoss indignity. Unfortu- nately it is not within my power to mark my condemnation of this mdignity by any punish- ment farther than by calling for the prompt dismissal of ‘he officer whose blunder was the occasion of this most deplorable incident. This have done, and he has been discharged from the employ of the sheriff and of the Bay Ridge authorities, and will not be reihstated. “I beg that you will make known to Dr. Georg and the Swiss legation my official action in the matter, and at the same time express to him and them how profoundly I regret the un- fortunate occurrence and my irtability to offer tohim any further redress or reparation for the affront to which he has been subjected.” Under the Maryland laws the governor has no power to punish the officer who made the arrest further than by dismissing him from his ice. GRAND MASTER GOBIN’S REPORT. Condition of the Order of the Tem Described. . As the last division of the Knights Templar parade in Denver yesterday passed the review- ing stand carriages were again filled and the Grand Commandery was soon called to order in the temple by Grand Master Gobin. His annual repert of his official acts was as follows: “It is with feelings of the deopest gratitude toevery Templar that I am enabled to Present to you the magnificent record of the Order of the Templeat this period of its history.

In but few instances, to which your attention will be has there been indicated wavering of the lines or a desertion of the tandard. On the contrary, a marked increase in the membership and extensicn of command- eries in the newly formed states and territories and the healthy financial condition of the various bodies are the evidence of increased zeal and continued devotion to the order.

Farmers, Strikers and Anarchists. From Farm and Home. ‘The American farmer will never submit to the dictation of alabor union. The farmer recognizes only the right to employ any man who wishes to work for him on terms that are mutually satisfactory. The farm hand should recognize only his right to work for whom he pleases at such wages as he chooses to accept. Suppose farm help should organize a union and say: “Mr. Farmer, you can't get your work done except by our union men at our price, for we won't let any non-union man work for you.” This is precisely what has come ubout in the iron trade, and to some extent in other industries.’ Such tyranny of the labor union is as wicked, as uncon- stitutional und as cruel as the tyranny of capi- tal in its worst form. Lubor has the same right to combine and organize for self-protection that capital has, but neither has the right to transgress the law. ‘That is just exactly where we draw the line in the Pennsylvania labor war, whatever may be the merits of the case at Home- stead or the errors and excesses of either side, Non-union men have the same right to a living ‘as is enjoyed by those who belong to the union; the employer has the right to hire whoever wishes to work for him. It is a good time to make this simple truth emphatic now that so much rot has been indulged in over the affair at the Carnegie steel works. This freedom of em- ployer and employed is one of the corner stones of our constitutional liberty. When either party interferes with such freedom the logical result Semerehy, ‘unless society steps “in and protecta legitimate interegts of all at the point of the bayonet. a pe Our American farmers have no sympathy with anarchy. When Jerry Simpson denounced An- drew Carnegioas a devil in’ human form who ought to be strung up bya mob, of which he expressed a desire to be » leader, the Kansas Congressman took a position that was « libel on the alliance and onthe farmers of the United States. If men are to be killed who build up great industries, affording employment to thou- sands at wages ranging from 81.40 to $15 a day (over,2,000 men at Homestead averaged more n $3 day), or if farmers are to be killed trho achiove conspicuous success, let us all know none of us may bo candidates for the executioner. The plain truth is, these Home- giead and Idaho strikers. with wagon of 62.50 to of these em employes be taken from them and among the poor farmers.

From the 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat. “The speed of a fly fs something that I have always had a great curiosity’to know,” said J. A. Bascomb. “hada splendid opportunity a fow weeks ago to witness an exhibition of the fly's speed by which it could be approximately measured. I rode out of Little Rock early one THE FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY. It 1s to Displace the Steam Engine and Revo- Tutionise Cooking. “Bince in obtaining power from fuel by means of steam engines upward of ninety per cent is wasted in unused heat, while the power obtain- | St. Louis able for use represents scarcely more. than ten per cent of the real value of the fuel, under the very best conditions the question arises whether there may not be discovetable » plan whereby a much larger percentage of the real value of the fuel may be turned to account as electricity, and through the latter as heat, light or power,” says Prof. Elihu Thompson, the eminent electrical inventor and expert, in the New England Magazine. “This question has at present no answer. The subject has been alive in the minds of our most able engineers and inventors for and some have striven hard to find a solution to the problem. Records of scientific discovery have been earnestly ranencked to find some clew; or, as it were, a guiding post to point the way for the uncertain explorer. It now appears that we may be compelled to await some new discovery, some new adaptation or some new alization before the way to the much lesired solution may be found. The effect on the general industrial and economic di ‘ment in electricity which would follow the t covery of some not too complex means for realizing an economy of even 40 or 50 per cent of the energy value of fuel is indeed almost incalculable. “Then truly would electricity become the almost universal agent in the production as well as the transmission of power. The steam on- gine would go out of use almost entirely. We should burn our coal, not under steam boilers: it would be consumed in electric generators. Our steamships would have their machinery re- placed by such generators, and their propellers would be turned by gigantic electric motors, connected with the generators. The be increased #o as fo still farther shorten the time of an ocean voyage. The uses of elec- tricity as a heating agent would be vastly ex- tended, and it goes withont eying that our lighting would be accomplished at much lees om —-—_+e+_____ TORE A CIRCUS. TENT TO PIECES. A Farious Cyclone Swept Over Cohoes and Vicinity. About 4:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon a cy- clonic storm, preceded by a slight rain and dead calm, swept down upon Cohoes, N.Y., and vicin- ity. Forepaugh’s circus,which was giving an ex- hibition, suffered heavily. The big tent and all the other tents were lifted from the poles and torn into shreds. The performance had just concluded and the spectators dispersed. Per- formers were in their dressing tents and many of them were unsheltered before their toilet was complete. Costumes of all kinds were scattered to the winds, seats were tumbled over and utensils of all kinds strewn for a consider- able distance. ‘The animals in their cages made frantic ef- forts to free themselves, but no accident of any kind occurred to either man or beast, with the exception of Frank Jones, an attache of the cir- cus, who sustained a severe cut on the face and head, twelve stitches bemg necessary to close up the wound, Trees were torn up by the roots inthe vicinity and other damagedone to outlying property. In the city chimneys were blown down and con- siderable damage done by the wind. The storm was attended by vivid lightning and continuous rumbling of thunder. During the wind storm a portion of the brick wall of the Edison works at Schnectady fell and buried four Polanders. One of the men was killed end the remaining three are fatally injured. toe Strike at Mt. Clare. The strike spirit is still prevalent about Balti- more. Eighty men employed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company in the repair shops at Mt. Clare yesterday struck for better whges. Reductions in salaries have been made, it is stated, until the men rebelled. President Davis of the Contractors’ Associa- tion says that the coatmakers’ strike has been won, and that the shops are now all working with almost a full complement of men. The strikers practically admit their defeat. —<oe5 ‘Was Determined to Die. Archie McLean, in Roberson county, N. C., committed suicide yesterday. He had con- templated the deed for some time, but seemed in usual health and was in his room when his wife heard the report of a gun. Going to the house she found him dead. He had cut two gashes in his throat, closed the razor and laid it on the bureau. Then he walked across the room and got his gun, and sitting down on a chair put the muzzle under his chin and_lit- erally blew off the top of his head. McLean was sixty-five years old. An Internajjonal Locomotive Match. From the Philadelphia Record. A trial of speed between English and Ameri- can locomotives, which will set at rest the con- flicting claims of superiority made by both countries, will be an interesting and novel feature of the world’s fair. The scheme has been broached to both the Pennsylvania and New York Central companies, but no definite action has yet been taken by either. It is not known which of the two great roads will under- take the contest. ‘The plan is to bring over an English locomo- tive of the Intest pattern, which will burn Eng- lish coal, with a crew who will speak with an English accent. The run will be made from New York to Chicago and return, either with a heavy or light train, or possibly both. ‘The run west may be made with a heavy train and tho return with a’light one. The American ¢1 gine will carry the same weight and go by the same route, and the palm will be awarded to the one making the run in the shortest time, In view of the claim made by England that she turns out the best, fastest and the most economical locomotives in the world. no con- test could take place that would arouse more interest. Uncle Sam knows a little something about building locomotives himself, and it is safe to say that John Ball will have no easy time of it. ——_ _+e+ The “Safety” Parachute. From the London Telegraph's Paris letter. A very interesting and successful experiment has been made here by M. Capazza, the well- known aeronaut, with a “safety parachute” which he has invented. The apparatus is placed above the balloon and to it are attached a num- ber of very long ropes. If the balloon bursts the gas swells out the parachute and so helps to diminish the rapidity of the descent. At the top of it ia. small funnel through which the gas passes slowly, and by this arrangement the Parachute is hopt steady. This isthe principle of M. Capazza’s invention. ‘The parachute used in the experiment is of rather voluminous di- mensions and the car is fixed at the longest pos- sible distance from the balloon in order that it may not be entangled in the debris.

A climax to the action for libel re- cently begun by Judge James C. Normile of the criminal court against the Post-Dis- patch of that city came yesterday in the suicide by poison of the plaintiff, Judge Normile, at his residence, No. 1422 Washington avenue. Criti- cism of the administration of Judge Normile's court was precipitated recently by a sudden di- vision in the grand jury acting under him, eight of ite members alleging that four had combined to prevent the indictment of persons with a “pull.” Tho-matter was brought before Judge Nor- mile through communications from the con- tending factions and the judge's conduct in the matter led to charges iticism on the part of the Post-Dispatch, which culminated in the judge bringing suits for sums va | against 400,000 the paper attacking three of the paper's responsible editors, Flor- also instituting criminal libel actions ence D.

Investigation showed, however, that the | recent occurrences and criticiems had so borne | upon his mind that he could endure it no longer. following was the note found on the person of Judge Normille: For more than a year the atrocious libelers of the Post-Dii have had me on the rack. ‘They have almost unfitted me from perform- ing my judicial duties and made life little less than a protracted torture. For the past week T have slept litte.

To Construe the Eight-Hour Law. The Treasury Department has found that serious embarrassment may occur in the opera- tion of the eight-hour law on public buildings | contracted for after August 1, unless there is a | careful interpretation of the act. The question has been raised whether the law does not apply also to subcontractors and rsons who are engaged in preparing material tor the construction of public builds ings. The law may be wide enongh to cover the foundryman who is molding iron work for the builders, tho lumberman who is getting out Joists, the quarryman who is blasting rock and the stone mason who finishes it, the teamster who hauls the product, and #o on. ‘The Attorney General has been called upon for his opinion in the matter. ous ea ee aed New Jersey Prohibitionists.

From the San Francisco Argonaut, Of the men composing the mobs of strikers who have been taking human lives and destroy- ing property during the past fortnight nine- tenths are foreigners. A naval officer, now in San Francisco, who was United States inspector of steel at Homestead a year ago, says that he was obliged to take interpreters with him dur- ing his tour of the yards.

The immigration of Chinese to the United States had its bogining in California on the discovery of gold, and has all the time been directed to the Pacific coast—mainly to California, but lately to British Columbia, on account of restrictive laws and exclusion de- clared against the Mongol race. The immigra- tion from Europe was more or less a subject of popular contention in the early years of the re- public, according to the nativity of the immi- grants and agreeably to the race prejudices of communities.

Champion stakes day at Monmouth was favored with fair weather, a fast track and 10,000 spectators who enjoyed a full meed of Pleasure and overmuch excitement while the racing progressed. The expected feature of the program, the junior champion stakes, resulted in @ hollow victory for Don Alonzo, the ginnt son of Long Taw and Round Dance, he winning the $16,440 prize in the commonest of canters, In fact, it was no race at all as faras first money was concerned. Don Alonzo's immense stature enabled him to take two strides to his opponent’sone. He covered the six furlongs in 1.12%¢. The majority of the spectators had put their wagers on Lady Violet, the 18 to5 favorite, and the winner, who was ‘well backed by his stable followers at 7 to 2, did not receive the ap- planse that his performance merited.

Because He Found the Doctor Was Not to Be Dictated To. From the New York Sun. Bismarck’s first interview with Prof. Schwen- inger was somewhat amusing. The prince, ac- customed to bulidoze everybody, met with more than his match when he came in contact with the famous doctor. The man of blood and iron was suffering from neuralgia, and was in an extremely bad humor. The doctor was not the least put out by the prince's savage look; he sounded him thoroughly and then commenced to question him. After a few mo- ments of examination the prince became im- patient, “Now, I'm tired of your interminable ques- tions,” he said. “I don’t see the utility of them and you are simply annoying me.” The doctor, who is made of inflammable ma- terial, became ignited by the sparks of Bis- marck’s angry eyes. “You find that 1am annoying you,” he said. “You want tobe cured without being obliged to answer questions. Why the devil, then, didn’t you call in a veterinary surgeon? The vets cure their patients without asking them any questions.” Bismarck bounded to his feet, clenched his fist and glared in rage and astonishment at the man of science. The doctor folded his arms and looked defiantly at the prince until the lat- : “Very well; if you can’t cure me without questioning me ahead with your infernal examination. I'll very fortunate, indeed, if your medical skill proves equal to your impertinence. Of the lat- ter you have just given me a splendid speci- men.” The prince was cured, and he and the doctor are fast friends now. They resemble each other in character and disposition. — “CENTRAL” IS REAL MAD.

Some of them had and someof them hadn't. For the benefit of those who hadn't read the startling news the indignant one started in to explain it. Subscribers rang and rang and shouted, ‘Hello, Central!’ but they were allowed to bury themselves in graves of profanity until the somewhat hazy explanation of the new invention hatl been made. “Well, you see, girls,” said the disgusted one, as she pushed back her dripping curls from her face and gracefully mopped it with a dainty laco handkerchiet, ‘a man by the name of Stronger, I think it is, who must be a brate, “Of course he is,” shouted the excited audi- ence in chorus. “Has invented a machine that will enable subscribers to call up whoever they want with- out consulting us.

The very idea. “This machine is in the shape of a dial with a needle revolving over its surface by means of some kind of electrical magnets. Near the periphery of the dial (whatever that is) are the ends of the wires from the circuit, and the needle makes and breaks connections with these. ‘The needle, which works automatically, is governed by the operator at the telephone. “Placed on top of the battery board of every telephone is a row of keys. The first is a ‘re- lease key,’ used to throw the telephone out of circuit, The next key calls for the unit num- bers, the next tens, the next hundreds and the next thousands, and so on. Where the sub- scriber wants to call up a telephone—say $15, for instance—the release key is first pressed. The ‘hundred’ key is then pressed three times, the ‘ten’ key once and the ‘unit’ key five times. As the buttons are touched the needle of the dial registers the number,” said the little lec- turer, as she for breath and again mopped her fore! with the dainty piece of “Well, I declare,” was the next chorus. A red-haired. freckled girl, who had listened attentively to the description of the new inven- tion, but had not taken an active part in the ejaculatory chorus, then spoke up: “Apparently we are booked for a discharge before long, girls, but we can comfort ourselves with one thought, even in this hot weather. Subscribers are in our power yet.’ “Well, Ishould say they are,” chorused the none balls phone bells were ringing at e watched over by the malcontents. by time.

It is not evident to me that ornament can intrinsically eighten these elemental qual- ities, Why, then, should we use ornament? is not a noble and simple dignity sufticient? Why ehould we ask more? If I answer the question in entire candor I should say that it would be greatly for our exthetic good if we should refrain entirely fre the use of ornament fora od of years, order that our thought might concentrate acut upon the production of buildings well formed and comely in the nude. We should thus per- force eschew many undesirable things, and learn by contrast how effective it is to think im a natural, vigorous and wholesome way. This step taken, we might safé to what ex- tent a decorative application of ornament would enhance the beauty of our structures what new charm it would give them. If we have then become well grounded in pure. and simple forms we will revere them; we will refrain instinctively from vandalism; we will be loth to do aught that may make these forms less pure, less noble... We shall have learned moreover that oruament is, mentelly, a luxury. not a necessity; and that we should so uve and understand it.’ We rball have jearned by con- trast wherein this luxury may become emotion ally a neceseary, for we shail have discerned the limitations as well as the great value of un- and feel a craving to express it.
