There isperbaps no man who is better fitted to explain the aims of the uni- ; and what it has accomplished in this country and in Europe than Prof. James. He ts the president of the American society for the extension of university teaching located at Philadelphia, and asa member of the faculty | of ench an institution as the University of Penn- sylvania be is in a position to judge of the uni. versity for diffusing some of the light} which is enjoyed at such a» center of | learning and euiture.

In this country, how-| ever, a reformer seeks to influence public | opinion, educate the public mind, until it a ready to adopt the ‘change. | This wae the method followed in introducing nniversity extension in this country. It ba already been well under way in Engiand, where it bad first taken form some time in the early seventies. It had started bya acries of lectures given by Oxford professors in the locality of | Oxford, and from this beginning it had grown | steadily on until it bad *pread pretty well all | over England. There were between 700 and | 800 centers in England where lectures were | delivered in accordance with this 6 . | These centers were not conducted entirely by | university men, for many who bave received | fellowships from the universities gained the | reputation upon which this prize was awarded | through theve university lectures. } THE ENOLISH UNIVERSITIEA, ‘The speaker referred to the explanations | which bad been offered of why the two English | universities had been interested in this move- | ment. Outside of the universities it was claimed that they had gone into the work for the pur- pose of staving off the threatened parliamentary | inquiry into the uses made of their funds. The | universities had large revenue and they ex-| pended it in their own way and a number of educational abuses had arisen. The university men themselves in some cases express regret | that they have helped in this movement in any way, because it has gone way beyond their ox- pectations and assumed proportions that they had no idea of when they entered upon the | work. Now they were afraid that it would tend toattract popular attention to, the universities | and that the people would discover that the universities are for the classes and not the masvon. This might precipitate the dreaded in | on. However, university extension was in Eng- | land to stay. It was not long after it had been fairly inaug gan to | be discussed in this country, and finally «| meeting was cailed in New York city and an or- | genization was formed by such men ae Prof. ‘atton of Princeton, Prof. Dwight of Yale and Prof. Low of Colambi After one or two | meetings the organization was apparently al- | fe, lowed to die. The next effort in this direction | was made by Prof. the prevost of the University of Pennsylvania, who called a meet- | ing of those interested in the subject, promi- nent citizens as well as professors, and a| society was formed for the purpose of | advvcating university extension. Thia was | three years ago and there ix today un-| der the auspices of the society some sixty | centers in operation in and near Philadelphia | where by means of courses of lectures an effort is being made to provide education for adults in a systematic way. He thought that between twelve and fifteer thousand persons last vear enjoyed the beneiits of these lectures. | While asa rule the lectures were on literatare | and history, yet other topics were taken up, of | ® scientific character, for example. In one center,composed mainly of stationary engincers, the lectures given related to higher mathmatics | underlie the occupation followed by the mem- | bers of the center. In every case the character of the lectures were determined by the mem- bers of the centers. ihe movement bas made such progress that in a number of states socie- ties have been organized, and in some cases, especially in the central western states, the sys | tem was under the auspices of the state uni-| versities. ‘The speaker estimated that last year | in this country between fifty andsixty thousand people received the benefits of these loctures. EXPERIENCE IN PHILADELPHIA. Prof. James said that the system of univer- sity extension supplied a defect in the edu tional facilities of the country which, in his opinion, was of a serious character. Taking the city of Philadelphia as representing the | average community, he said that of the 120,000 | children attending the public schools of that | attended the high T cent was under schools and seventy-five twelve years of age. ‘The average school Hife was only about four —_yeara and it could readily be understood the extent of the education which could be acquired in that time. The conclusion to be deduced from these facts was that the average parent in this country could not afford to keep their children in school after they kad atisined the age of | twelve. Hence arose the importance of pro-| viding facilities for adult education, and the avidity with which opportunities of ‘this char- | acter are ombraced is an indication of popular | appreciation. He thought that so far as pro-| fessors in colleges and universities entered into | this work that they would be benefited and sity which confronts them in giving such lec- | tures to present the topics in a familiar and easy style. Prof. James held the attention of his andi- ence, which was composed of representative | circles of this city, and their satisfaction was to | some extent expressed by hearty applanse. | At the close of the talk Prof. James was given | an informal reception. co ae ‘The Jamestown to Stay at Cape Charles.

Correspondence of The Evening 8: Naw Yong, Nov. 18, 1892. From all the data that has been computed the Cincinnati that was launched last week is expected to make twenty-one knots per hour as maximum speed and to maintain « nineteen- knot speed at sea, This will place her at the head of her class among the war ships of the | world. For the sake of comparison: The At- lanta of nearly the same tonnage (3,200 tons displacement) made sixteen knote maximum speed, with 3,500 horse power: the Italian cruiser “Bausan,” now lying at the navy yard docks, made seventeen knots with 5,500 horse power; the Chilean ship “Esmeralda” was quoted eighteen knotsand 6,000 horse power; the Chinese cruiser “King Yuen, "built in eniedhd wands six. teen knots with 5.000 horse power; the English cruiser Iris, with 6,900 horee power, made eighteen knots, and the nearest approach to the Cincinnati's estimated speed is the. uineteen- knot French cruiser Davoust, with 9,000 horse Power. As first designed, the Cincinnati's cabin was under the poop, with a large ward- room aft on the deck and the junior offi- cers’ quarters occupying the next compart- ment forward of the ward room. Bat dynamos. torpedo tubes, ice machines, ¢moke pipes and anchor-hoisting engines took w the room forward on the berth deck that a part of the junior officers’ quarters was cut off for the d men, The two largest rooms in the ward room are to have double bunks and to be occupied by the junior officers, while a small mess room is provided for them forward of the ward room. To accommodate the ward room officers thas crowded out four rooms are to be placed forward of the cabin under the poop. MER ARMAMENT. ‘The armament consists of one six-inch and ten five-inch great guns, eight six-pounder rapid fire guns and a battery of lighter rapid fre guns. The generally lightness of the guns is the ontcome of a tendency to arm cr guns readil quickly worked with a small crew, with sufiicient power to penetrate the light armor of armored craisers, but not in- tended to tight heavily armored battle ships. ‘Theve guns will all bave the latest mounts, cen- tral pivot, and will be very easily trained or el- evated by one man. She is to have four tor-| pedo tubes, one in the bow, one in the stern and two broa the Whitehead or Howell torpedoes. ‘The sail power will be very small, probably of no more use than to steady the ship ina beavy seaway, there being two masts, schooner rigged, with a fighting top on the foremast. _ It is expected to complete the ship by the middle of next sum- mer.

GAYETIES ON sHIPEOARD. On Monday the officers of the Atlanta gave a{ reception with dancing. Such affairs are al- ways very novel for the visitors, the ships are always prettily decorated with flags und bunt- , and the change from dancing in stuffy ball oms is novel and interesting. The distin- guirhed Cavalier Alberto de Libera, the cap- tain of the Bausan and many of his officers were present, and pleased every one by their polite- ness and charming mauners, Toinorrow the Italian officers give a reception on the Bausan, and many society girls of New York and Brooklvn will be glad of such a fine opportunity to meet the foreigners. After a thorough over- hauling and repainting of ber hull in the Simpson dock the Italian came out of dock and | went alongside the Wallabout channel docks. It is probable that she may stay on this wide until after the grand naval review next «pring Every Friday afternoon an informal hop is given in the court-martial hall ard weekly hops are expected on the Vermont later in the season. These affairs have always been popular with the New York people who have attended thom, and it seems that the charm of brase but- tons and uniforms is always sare to bring many fair aduirers to any social event eonnected with the navy. ‘The Dolphin aud Vesuvins have returned to the yard after their cruixe to Charleston, 8. C., to participate in an anniversary celebration, which seems to be the chief service to be done by the war vessels, and if the admiration of the populace results in their support in furnishing appropriations for building new ships, the re: sults would justify such use of the vessels, en mans people think that as the ships are public every one should have a chance to se them and visit every nook and corner, whether | it be a gun tower or the private room of an officer. ‘The Chiengo is in from St. Thomas anu it is intimated that m case ber repairs are exton- sive Admiral Walker may transfer his tag to the Philadelphia and take the north Atlantic a nor necessary this winter, but as the admiral’s quarters are much better on the Chicago than on the Philadelphia there may be no change in the flag shive.

Results of the Election—Sketches of the New Congressmen. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Brrarxomam, AvA., Nov. 13, The election result in Alabams was a big #ur- prise even to the most sanguine. In round numbers the state gives Cleveland 49,000 ma- Jority over the fusion and straight republican tickets. Only fourteen counties out of sixty- six were carried by the fusion ticket ‘and the largest majority in any of them was 1,300 in Elmore county. The others went by majorities varying from 50 to 800. Cleve- | land carried all the large counties that went for | Kolb, alliance independent, at the state election in August. Tn 1888 Alabama gave Cloveland a majority of 60,000. So it will bo seen that the combined efforts of the furionists and republicans only ocratic ticket. The democrats are jubilant at the result in | this state. It shows that the democracy of | Alabame is again united and more especially | #0 since Cleveland bas beon elected President. The returns show some interesting facte. The fusion ticket carried only “backwoods” coun- | ties with a very tew exceptions, Kolb, it will be remembered, was stronger at the August elec | tion in the remote districts. But all of them repudiated the fusion ticket this time and votud for Cleveland. The straight Harrivon and | Reid ticket polled a very light vote in this state, | which shows that the movement on the part of | the republican leaders to support the fusion ticket was well understoodeven by the negroes, who voted it almost to a man.

He was United States dis. trict attorney for the northern district of Alabama under President Cleveland four years ago and is one of the most eminent lnwyors and promising democratic leaders in Alabama. He was chairman of the famous [state convention in Montgomery in 1890 when Gov. Jones was nominated over | Kolb after several days’ balloting. Denson took the stump for Jones in the state campatgn early last winter. He is a fearless and aggressive speaker and denounced Koib in unmeasured him terms, None of the Kolb leaders would lever meet him in joint —_deba so scathing was he in his denn jons of thera.

Her armament is being completed the Washington navy yard ordnance works and will be ready as soou as the ship is ready to receive it. No contract as yet has been given for the two torpedo boats she is to carry, and they may be built here by the government, though many officers would like to see what the Hereschoffs would do on such a boat. Each of these two ship's torpedo bouts will be sixty feet in length and of about fourteen tons displace- ment when loaded and coaled and will carry a crew of two oficers and xbout ten men to run the engines and fire “the torpedo, and they are expected to be very efficient defenses in a bat- tle, especially where the smoke obstructs the view and thus affords a protection to the small boats, ‘The Maine may have a trial trip without her armor in position. Seventeen knots is the expected speed. ‘The woodwork and decks are neatly completed, and she will soon be in com- mission, with Capt. Kane in command. D.W.
