Preparing for the Naval Rendezvous Next Week. | VESSELS ALREADY ON HAND. | The White Squadron, Excepting the Phila- delphi, Ordered to Sea for a Few Days— Crowds at Old Voint Comfort and Many More Expected on the 15th. — Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. ij Font Moxnor, April 10, 1893. ‘The great naval rendezvous in Hampton Roads next week preparatory to the review at | New York promises to be one of the most re- markable affairs of the sort ever undertaken. ‘The interest taken in the matter by foreign governments isso general and the invitation from this government to participate in the review has been so favorably received by foreign gor- ernmenss that it is clear there will be a won-| derfally tine turnout cf all that is latest and | best in fin de siecle ship architecture. Aside from the fact thet Hampton Roads offers extremely good accommodation: for the ; i gatherin’ of s great fleet there is something | eminently suitable about it as a place for the meeting of ths great modern men-of-war of the | world. "It was here that the first great depar- ture from al! the old and time-worn traditions of ship building proved a success and in the end brought about a real revolution in the construction of the navies of the world. §Up to the time of the famous contest betwe the | Monitor and the Merrimze there had been no | real radical departure from the old historic | ways. ‘The introduction of steam as a motive power was, of course, the most important inno- vat he idea ‘of the iron-clad could |hardiv have been called au innovation. T! | old Romans and Greeks could probably ha | claimed the credit for the idea of sheathing | | their vessels with something that would make cult of penetration. They had bai- tering rams and knew how to use them with good effect. In the long history of naval architecture the improvements that have been going on in vessels ever since the day that men | i REAR ADMIRAL GHERARDI. have been going down to the sea in ships have | been gradual. Sails were replaced by steam | power. Gunpowder and cannon took the lace of bows and atrows. Size and the num- | of gunsaship carried were the all-essen- tial matiers. The outcome of the contest between the Monitor and the Merrimac was fraught with even greater interest and importance than any | one would have believed at the time. Since | then. within the Inst quarter of a century, there | | have been more and greater changes in’ naval | architecture than in all the centuries that went before. Up to the time of the close of the war of the rebeilion the changes were gradual. | Since then they have been radical. The inven- | tion of armor plate that would seem to be able to resist the force of any and all projectiles and the inventionof projectiles that ought to be able togpenctrate any resistance seem to present again the threadbare conundrum of | what wouid happen when the irresistible body | | comes up agaiust the immovable body. As a | Scaniard would say, “Quien sabe?” It remain: | for the next great war to solve the problem. | UNFAMILIAR SCENES IN THE ROADS. ‘The present gathering of great men-of-war has about it nothing of the fierce and war- like. It is a most peaceful collection of war- | like vessels. It has for one thing altered the entire appearance of this most fascinating place. Old-timers who come down to the Hygeia look at each other in wonder and amaze | and ask what has become of the army. Usually it is the boys in bine with straps on their, shoulders and stripes down the sides of their pantalcons that predominate here. The officers stationed at the fort or the younger ones who | are here taking courses at the schools of in- struction have everrthing their own way and it | is the civiltan who has to take the back seatand Tetire into obscurity. Now everything is changed. The man in simple black evening dress is for the time being almost as good as the West Point graduate. The reason of this | isa simple one. Neither one is “in it” for | moment as compared with the boys who come ashore on shore leave from the ships that li | in the roads. It is the day ofthe navy, and it is | motaday of smail things. either. The men who look after the honor of Uncle Sam on the seas make a most creditable appearauce at all | times, but now when they have everything their | own way ther are carrying all before them by mere force of numbers. THE WHITE SQUADRON. ‘The ships that compose the white squadron, after their three days out at sea last week for the purpose of practice in fleet evolutions, now | lie peacefully atanchor in the waters of Hamp- | ton Roads. Jast out from the wharf in front of the | Hygeia Hotel, and about 300 yards froflnnd, | hes the great Philadelphia, swinging about idly With the changes of tide.’ She is the fingship of the fleet and flies the proper emblem, for Kear Admiral Gherardi is aboard, in command | of the fleet and in charge of the great review. | The other vessels of the squadron are on either side of her, anchored at about the same distance JUST WHAT IT MEANS. ‘The Real Cause of » Cold Explained and | How Fasy It is to Stop It Every Time. Nothing is more common at this season of the Fear than the expression “I have a bad cold,” but it means something far more serious than is gen- erally supposed. It means that the person who has aken cold is ina bad state of health. Why? Be- cause @ person in good health easly resists cold. But let the Bealth Maga little, let the stomach be- come deranged, let the nervous system get out of order,and a chill is easily taken, it goes to the weak ‘spot and a cold is the resuls. Now, of all causes of cold probably fatigue or weariness is the most general. A tired man who comes home at night from along day's work or & Weary woman whose household duties are wearing and tearing are the common victims of acold. It is serious, because every time a fresh cold is taken But, you ask, how shall colds and their danger- ue Tesults be prevented? | There is only one way. the blood fm # healthy circulation, the stom- ach In good order and the nervous system | strong and active.

The other vessels in the harbor suffer severely by contrast. They look dingy and uninteresting as compared with the ships that fly the stars and str Farther down lie the Concord and that little wonder, the Vesuvius. ‘There is worry in the hearts of the pretty girls here at the report that several of the Semels of, ‘the white squadron may | be ordered to sea again for a few days this week, for the Annapolis boys dance divinely and the quiet places of the old fort offer many pleasant corners for delicious tete-a-tetes with brass buttons. Still there will be enough left to keep up the gayety and thelr numbers are being added to constantly. Fort Monroe is a remarkable summer or winter resort from its plenitude of men, but just now there is a bewildering array of mascu- line beauty, and to the unsophisticated eyes of ‘Tae Star corvespondent it looks as taough the pretty girls (there are no others here) were making the bert of their opportunities. The men from the fort are so far outnumbered that they seem almost lost in the crowd, and in ad- dition to this fact it may also be said that the presence of the fleet here has brought with it « distinctively naval crowd, whose choice was made up and fixed long before they came down. For example, there are in this hotel alone up- ward of a hundred members of the families of the men-of-war. In addition namber of people who do not be- g to the families of the officers, but who a good chance of doing so in the future i¢ safe in interpreting the signs of the The hotels are crowded and there are ications for quarters during the next week as can ever be promised. The hotel managers about here in the differ- ent places that are convenient to Hampton Roads have adopted the phrase, “The terrible 15th,” and they mean it, too. It seems as though every one wants tocome on that same day, so as to be here for the beginning of the festivities that will mark the week of the ren- Aud yet all the hotels are crowdedto dezvous. | their very last limit and no one shows any incli- nation fo go away and make room for the others. They all want to stay and see the fun, Crowds come down on every boat and train from Washington and Baltimore and from the south as well, trusting to luck to be able to get some place to rest their heads over night. As a rule they are unsuccessful and go back again that same evening. What it will be next week when the rendezvous reaches its climax is a thing that only a bold man dares imagine. ang rate, one can reach here in the morning nd have a good day's sightseeing before leav- ing, and every le arrangement 18 being made both here and at Norfolk to take care of the crowds that will be here. Although the rendezvous does not formally commence until next Monday, to last the week, there is still an immense deal’ to see and do here now. The more important part of the United States’ share in the parade is already here and has been for days. So iar ax it does not interfere with discipline and the interests of the service the officers are allowed to be ashore, and they are not slow in availing them- selves of the chance. There is an almost con- stant procession of steam launches and small boats putting off frora the big ships and head- ing for the steainboat wharf, where they dis- charge their cargoes of passengers and take on loads of sightseers who are anxions to go aboard one or other of the ships. ‘The officers are most courteous in their reception and treatment of their guesis and smail entertainments and re- ceptions of an informal character are not want- ing. ‘The entertainment of the visiting officers from the foreign men-of-war is of itself no small undertaking. but every man in uniform is made to feel himself a guest of honor and is at once made at home and introduced about in a most hospitable manner. The interchange of visits among the ships is, of course, quite the order of the day, and the waters of Hampton Roads present a gala spectacle as seen either from the ships or from the shore. FIRST OF THE VISITORS. Russia is the first of the foreign nations to have a representative here. This came Satur- day, late in the day, in the form of the big ship, the General Admiral. The first news of her arrival came in the shape of a telegram from Cape Henry, which told of the appeat- ‘The first rumor was to the effect that it was a Frenchman, but later it was seen from the blue diagonal cross on the white ficld of her flag that she wasa .. Sue anchored beyond the Philadel- and the guardship of the day, the Charles- ton, boarded her and reported information to the Philadelphia. As se dropped anchor there was a national salute of twenty-one guns, which | Was returned by the fort, and then came a salute of thirteen guns in honor of Rear Admiral Gher- ardi, which was returned by the flagship. Th captain of the General Admiral isa distinguished officer by the name of Breasbragroff and she carries u crew of 550men. The General Ad- miral isa deck-armored vessel of 4,604 tons displacement and her armament consists of six eight-inch nine-ton breech loaders, two six- inch breech loaders and ten machine guns, with a number of torpedo tubes. She was built in 1873 and has a speed of twelve knots. The flagship Newark, Rear Admiral A. E. K. Benham, came down Saturday and anchored on | | the off-shore side of the Philadelphia. In the evening Admiral Benham and a number of his officers came ashore and were quite the lions of the hour, as they were also yesterday. AMERICANS ORDERED TO SEA. The saddest news of the day came out this afternoon when it was stated officially thatall the American vessels, with the sole exception of the Philadelphia, had been ordered out to sea for a few days’ cruise. It is needless to say that im- mediately a great deal of female influence was brought to bear to have the ernise made a brief one. ‘The cruise, like that of last week, is for the purpose of giving the fleet plenty of practice in fleet evolutions and in the work of marching in close order. ‘This is done so that they will make a good showing in the evolu- tions here and in the great parade to New York for the grand review there. It was stated this | ® afternoon that the cruise into deep water will probably not last more than three days. The flagship, the Philadelphia, will remain here in Hampton Roads to receive any foreign vessels that may arrive here in the meantime. It is expected that the admiral of the Russian con- tingent, as well as the English fleet, will arrive in the roads by the early part of next week. Rear Admiral Gherardi has been suffering from a very severe attack of the grip and it was even thought at one time that he might not be able to take command of the fleet. He has al- most completely lost his voice and this be finds decidedly bothersome, as he must needs do a good deal of talking and entertaining. He has to far recovered, however, by this time that he was able to sayto Tue Stam correspondent this afternoon that there was no longer any doubt as to his being able to command the fleet from now on to the end of the review. He is a busy man and will continue to be flooded with matters of importance fora very considerable eae cen teal small affair — of a great naval review made up of ves- sels from all the leading powers of the eid. pace oa Changed Him to the Jail. “You've been in the work house about thirty times during the last three years, haven't you, Mike?” inquired Judge Miller this morning of Mr. Michael Quigley, whom a jury had declared to be ity of assault. | desérving it, an’ mony's the time I didn’t, yer honor.’ “Well, Michsel,” said his honor, “you've taken a new departuro in assaulting and T'll also take a new departure by sending you to jail, instead of the usual assignment to the honse.

This equals arun of 18 7-100 miles per hour. This showing far eclipses any war vessel in the world of the same displacemont in speed. ‘The naval officers who are familiar with the Detroit do not hesitate to say the vessel is cap- able of making at least 19 knots in sea in good weather. The maximum run of the cruiser was not made under the most favorable circum- stances, and for this reason all concerned hare great hopes that the new vessel will astonish the country when the final run is made on Long Island sound. which will take place tomorrow, if all conditions are favorable. ‘The trials which occurred yesterday over the measured mile were as follows: At7 knots she made the mile in 8 minutes 59 seconds, mean revolutions during the mile Tun 50 8-12; at 10 knots, time 6 minutes 15 seconds, making 50.7 revolutions; at 12 knots, time 5 minutes 19 seconds, 50.75 revolutions; at 16 knots, time 8 minutes 45 seconds, 55.0 revolutions, while during the maximum mile run she made 52 8-12 revolutions. ——+es.

The Louisiana supreme court yesterday de- cided the suit of the state collector against the Boston and Pickwick clubs of New Orleans to compel them to take out a regular bar room license in favor of the collector. Heretofore the clubs have been running bar rooms and have failed to pay license, on the ground that they bought the liquor and sold it to. members at cost. The license feo is $1,000 a year. Nearly all New Orleans clubs ran private bars, and this decision means that they must either discontinue the practice or pay the state at least $100,000 a year. 1893—TEN PAGES.

THE RUSSIAN ‘The Wording of the New Document and the Ol4 Ove Regarding Political Offenses. ‘What is said to be the text of the ‘TREATY. rently with a view of cliciti sions of public opinion. The same alleged tex’ was published in some of the New York six years ago, and it is believed to be Article 3 is the article which republican public in parallel coluerus with the conrsqpond yublic columns with the Eig article of the amended treaty wick’ tho Senate ratified at its last session. ‘The article in question as submitted in 1887 was as follows: Article 3. If it be made to appear that extra- dition is sought with a view to try or punish the person demanded for an offense of a politica character surrender shall not take place, nor shall any person surrendered be vied or punished for any political offense committed previously & H to his extradition, nor for any offense other than that for granted, nor any mn for offense committed prior murder or man-slaughter comprising the willful | or negligent killing of the sovereign or chief magistrate of the state or of any member of his family, as well as an attempt to commit or participate in the said crimes, shall not be considered an offense of « political character. Itis pointed out that the modifications of article 3 as adopted in the treaty which now awaits the exchange of ratifications strengthen | its declarations as to political offenses against the sovereign or chief magistrate, but make no concessions in favor of Russia which are not reciprocated in favor of the United States. actual text of this part of the treaty as it now stands is as follows: .“Anattempt upon the life of the head of either government. or against that of any mem- ber of his family, when sug} attempt comprises the act either of ‘murder oF assassination, or of poisoning, shall not be considered a political offense or an act connected with such offense.” Articie 2 of the treaty of 1887 contains this definition of the crime of forgery: ~The crime of forgery, by which is under- stood the utterance of forged paper®, and also the counterfeiting of public, sovereign or gov- ernmental acts.” It is understood this definition is retained in the amended treaty ratified by the Senate. Op- ponents of the treaty contend that under tis finition persons would be extraditable for using faise passports or passports issued in an assumed name, which is said to be a very com- mon practice on the part of persons who be- lieve their true names would excite suspicion of the Russian authorities. -o——_— Petitions bearing 35,000 signatures have been sent to Gor.
