He was therefore compelied to telegraph his regrets for the present. He will endeavor to go at another time, and may choow the occa- sion of New York's celebration at Gettysburg, Jnly 2, but his going will depend entirely on cireumstinces. THE ODSECT OF HIS VISIT.

It is gener lly accepted at War Department that the government has no jurisdiction whatever over the battlefield under resent conditions and wili be in no position to interfere unless specifically authorized by future legislation. No G2OUND FOR INTERFERENCE YET. ‘The matter has been pretty carefully can- vassed by the legal lights of the department, and, while no official report has been made, th> impression has gone out that they hnve decided that, as the government is not ret possessed «f any property on the field, there are no grounds for interference. Ithas been suggested that after July 1 the battlefield commission may use all or a part of the $25,000 appropriated in the sundry civil bill for the purpose of acquiring posseusion of at least portions of the field, even if condem- nation proceedings have to be entered aguinst the trolley company. While the government may not be able to interfere just now, all hope is not abandoned of keeping the vandals off the most sacred portions of the field. pee ‘Treasury Changes.

LOOTED BY ANGLY SOCIALISTS, Shops Wrecked at Luebeck, Germany, on Account of Yesterday's Election. Bexx1x, June 23.—Tho socialists of Luebeck, incensed at the result of the second ballot for member of the reichstag taken in that city yes- terday which resulted in the defeat of Jobann Schwartz, the social democratic candidate, by Herr Goertz, radical unionist, made a demon- stration Inst night that soon — degen- erated into a tiot. The worst, riot ing was done on Breite Strasse, where the socialists, aided by a large number of loafers aud wharf rate, wrecked a number of shop fronts with stones and clubs. The police mob, which fled without making nce, “A large number of the rioters ‘The confidence of the authorities that th would be no repetition of the rioting ap) tohave been misplaced. The socinlists were not at all dishartened by the prompt attack made upon them by the police. Subsequent to their dixporenl they met in low beer shops and other places along the water front, and their passions were fanned by the leaders who had escaped arrest. MORE ARRESTS THIS MORNING. ‘This morning they again appeared in groups on the streets and their demeanor showed that they were ripe for mischief. The separate groupe soon consolidated and moved in the direction of the city bail, upon which an attack was made. The police were out in force and after a tussle with the rioters succeeded in driving them from the vicinity of the city ball, ‘The members of the mob then devoted their attention to the houses occupied by the liberal leaders, which they attacked with stones, doing rabie damage before the police could them off. Altogether 100 arrests of socialists and their supporters have been made. It is apparent that the socialists are in many instances deeply at the non-success of their candidates on the first ballots, aud are in a mood to make | trouble. ——-—_ KILLED BY A BURGLAR, A Crime Indiana That Was Being Cleared Up. Ixpraxarotis, Ixp., June 23.—Some time | ago John Tarpey, a prominent citizen o’| Haughville, a suburb of Indianapolis, was killed by @ burglar. The crime was com-j mitted while the burglar was in the act of rob- bing a saloon. ‘Tarpey, in company with the town officers, went into the saloon at midnight and caught the man in the act of robbing the money drawer. To effect his escnpe he shot Tarpey. As no trace of the murderer could be secured the community finally settled in its opinion that Tarpey's companions had killed him and conceived the burglar story to clear themselves. A week ago two loca detectives. after a des- perate strugle, arrested Leon Henderson for | urglary. In the fight Henderson was shot in the leg. He was taken to the city hospital. and yester- ry Rafferty of Haughville told the super- intendent of police that Henderson wax Tarpey’s murderer, She said he bad come to her house on the night of the murder and had told her ail about it.

A Sensational Deposition Made by Driver George W. Spear. CLEVELAND, Onto, June 23.—A sensational deposition has boen filed in the common pleas court in which the driver of the famous Temple Bar race in this city relates how he had dis honestly pued the trotter for the purpose of losing the race. The deposition was that of Driver George W. Spear. and will be used on behalf of the de- fendant in the suit for $110,000 damages filed by Dr. Bales against the Cleveland Driving Park Company. With reference to the race on tho day the driver said Dr. Sales was barred off the track, Spear affirms that when he said he was going to work the horse out pretty swift the doctor said, “Never mind about getting him rendy. ‘We may not want to trot him a very hard race; may not wants to win it.” Sales Inter instructed him to lay up two heats and not to win until the doctor told him to. as APT IN ILLUSTRATION, Mr. Phelps Closes His Argument Before the ~ "Bering Sea Tribunal. Panis, June 23.—Mr. E. J. Phelps, of coun- wel for the United States, today continued his closing argument before the Bering sea tribu- nal of arbitration. Mr. Phelps is displaying in his speech remarkable eloquence and great aptness in choosing illustrations. In discussing Sir Charles Russell's definition of international law which the English counsel has given to the tribunal, Mr. Phelps held that the assent of nations too new question of international law may be inferred when, as here, the proposition accords with the law as established by the civil- ized world or where itis obviously just and right. ‘Ihe interest of the United States in the seals in cher territory, and in the industry founded oi the. seals, ' constitutes a property right which was entitled to the protection of municipal and international law, age ens Complaint is made to the British foreign office that in the South Sea Islands the stock of the mission stores consists, not of Bibles or hymn books, but of cases of Old Tom gin and be-r. bags of shot and boxes of percussion ea; fr Enfieid rifles, The regular traders co: Plain bitterly of the keen competition of the auissionaries in business, DEPOSITOKS WILL 103E NOTHING. ‘The Directors of the Pacific Bank Decided to Close Its Doors Temporarily. Bax Faaxcisco, June 29.—The board of di- rectors of the Pacific Bank decided not to open the doors this morning. The direct cause of the suspension is a notice from the clearing house association that the bank's paper would not be accepted hereafter. It has been known for some time that the bank was laboring under financial difficulties, and the announcement of the action of the board does not create great surprise. The Pacific Bank was organized in 1863 by R. H. MeDonald, and its present manager is I. H. McDonald, jr. It bas a paid-up capital stock of $1,000,000, a nominal reserve of about 700.000 and deposits of about $1,500,000, ac- cording toa recent official report. Its loans and discounts are said to be about 2,500,000. The failure seems to be altogether due to the recent monetary troubles and it is expected the depositors wil! love nothing. lanager McDonald says the bank will resume business in a short timeand that the suspension is resorted to that the bank may reali: ‘rom ite assets and protect itself from a sudden run by depositors, It may be that the closing down of the Pa- cific Bank will result in the suspension of the People’s Home Savings Benk, « collateral in- stitution, under practicaily the same manage- ment. it has a guaranteed capital stock of $1,000,000, of which one-third is paid up in cash. cording toa recent statement of the People’s Bank it has total deposits of €1,700,- 000. ‘The outlook this morning was that there seemed to be no reason to apprehend that the suspension of these institutions would pre- cipitate a run on other banks. The leading in- stitutions were said to be weil fortified and prepared to meet any ordinary emergency. anager McDonald said be expected a run would be made today on the Peopie’s Home Savings Bank, but that the bank officials would take advantage of the law, which allows savings banks to defer payment ten, thirty and sixty da} The institution is perfectly solvent, be says, and in this manner hopes to tide over the present emergency. Later—The People’s Savings Bank has failed. ASSETS MUCH LARGER THAN LIABILITIES. Srarrie, Wasx., June 28.—A special from New Whatcomb, Wash., says the First National Bank closed its doors at noon yesterday. In- ability to realize on ite securities is the cause given for suspension. The bank's officials state that their assets are double their liabilities and that depositors will be paid in full. ‘The bank examiner will be here in a few days. Depositors feel confident that they will receive one hundred cents on tho dollar, ‘There is no excitement and the suspen- son didnot precipitate runs on the other inks.

She was built at Elswick. NEWS RENT TO THE QUEEN. | All official telegrams in regard to the loss of | the ship will be sent at once to the queen at | Windsor Castle.

The prime minister informed the house of | commons of the accident and paid a most glow- | ing tribute to the worth of Vice Admiral Tryon, who, he said, was one of the ablest and most esteemed officers in the service of her majosty.

The news of the sinking of her royal majesty’s ship Victoria has caused a profound sensation | at the Navy Department hero. No marine dis- | aster, accompanied by such heavy lose of life, has been known in this country for many years, the nearest in kind probably being the loss of the United States steamship Huron off Nag’s Head about fifteen years ago. Such great dis- asters are fortunately rare in naval history, though the British navy bas known’ of them, in the case of the sinking of the Vanguard by the Iron Duke off; the Irish coast and the Germans have had a bitter experience in the case of the Grosser Kurfurst, a magnificent ironclad, which was in collision and sank when attempting to enter Spithead. People who saw the beautiful and stately Blake. flagship of the British squadron at the naval review, thought that she was a great ship, but she was of secondary import- ance when compared with ths ill-fated Victoria, which gus just gone down, for while the Bl toria was a full-fledged battle ship nearly 1,600 | tons larger than the Blake. She bore about the relation to the Blake thut our new battle Indiana and Oregon do to the armored cruiser New York. Indeed the Victoria was of | about the same dimensions as the Indiana, but being of newer design isa more formidable craft than the English snip, which bad her sis- ter in the Sanspareil. THE LOST VESSEL, The Victoria was built by Sir William Arm- strong ut the celebrated Elswick worke, and in appenrance she was a typical fighting machine, as unlike the ordinary conception of a ship as ossibe. She was rather Ee in. the water, ving eleven feet freeboard, and the forward deck being cleared to give sweep to the great turret guns, she had something of the appear- ance of a monitor forward. Aft of her turret she carried « plain superstructure, heavily pro- tected by compound armor, in which ‘was placed the secondary battery, and on the top \l vear of this superstructure was the ten- ich gun in its barbette, Her dimensions and features were as follows: Armored ship Victorin, + ee. 10,470 tona, | 14,000 horse power, 340 fect lung, 70 feet beam, built at Newcastle, completed in 1890; hull cost £612,522; machinery, £112,835; turrot and barbette, compound ‘armor; two 111-ton guns in forward turret and ‘one 10-inch mounted in a barbette aft; the turret and bar- bette had 18 inches of compound armor. Her listed was 16.75 knote. She had one lofty ‘military mast of steel carrying gun plat- forms. VICE ADMIRAL 6IR GEORGE TRYOX. Sir George Iryon, the vice admiral, who went down in his flagship, is one of the best known British naval officera Commander Chadwick, now in charge of the naval intelli- gence office here, was well acquainted with him during his residence in London as United States naval attache, and he speaks in terms of high praise of the admiral’s character and ability as naval officer. Hie was a man of vast experi ence, his service beginning in the days before steam was a prominent feature in naval architecture and running through all the various phases of development that were marked by the substitution of steam for sail ower; of iron for wooden bulls; of steel for iron; of turrets for broadsides, and “f armor for thin cheathing. He was a’ man who bad earned the highest honors within the gift of British nation, appears in the of the Crimean . terved in the naval brigade before Sebastopol, during the winter of 1853-54 in the trenches, where be was wounded. He was present at all’ of the opera- tions before Sebastopol and at the capture of Kinburn, received medals for distinction and was specially mentioned in dispatches for services as director of transports during the sumed the ships were engaged in simple ma- neuvers, ite availability in time of war hus been amply demonstrated. The British Lecation at Newport. ASraz reporter called at the British legation this morning to learn any particulars in regard to the victims of the disaster or the vessel that went down. He was info-med by an attendant that Sir Julian Pauncefote and all the members of the legation were now in Newport, where « residence has been arranged for the season. A communication by mail and messenger is mai tained between this city and the summer lega. tion, so that all business is carried on as usual. NAVAL OFFICERS’ VIEWS. ‘What May Have Caused the Disaster and the Lesson to be Learned. The terrible accident off Tripoli was almost the sole topic of conversation among naval off- cers today. Nows of it reached the Navy De- partment early in the day,and was quickly spread to all its offices. There are several offi- cers now on duty here who are acquainted with the officers of the British ship Vietoria, and they are naturally distressed at their awfal misfor- | tune According to the informationat hand the offi- cers at the department, who discussed the mat- ter with @ Stan reporter, were of opinion that the accident resulted from attempting danger- ous evolutions at close quarters. WHAT MAY HAVE BAPPENED. “There may have been some mistake on the part of the helmsman,” said one high officer who seemed to be regarded asan authority by his brother officers, “or else an accident oo- curred to the steering gear. “All steering gear,” he continned, “‘is liable to give out at the most inopportune moment. Itis therefore more than probable that this occurred from an accident to that apparatus.” “Have there ever been any accidents of this kind in our navy?” asked the reporter. NO ACCIDENT OF THIS KIND IN OUR NAVE. “None that I know of. You know we never have had any naval maneuvers at sea on a large scale. The recent naval review was probably the largest ag; tion of naval vessels we have ever id in this country, and orig were no special maneuvers on it mperatively necessary to accurately regulate the speed and direction of cach ship, as they sometimes, of course, get into close quarters, Why, Sometimes ‘they maneuver only feet an to keep these. “heavy. bodies” “safe” under such circumstances necessitates very careful handling. There are several elements to be carefuliy observed. The three most important are distance and the action of the helm. The helm’ must be certain and prompt. If it fails in its action there is danger at all times to ships cruising in company, whether maneuver- ing or simply making « passage in column.” SUCH ACCIDENTS VERY RARE “Buch accidents as the present are extremely rare,” said another officer. “Supposing speed, the action of the helm and other matters of this sort to be all they should be, the safety of the ship depends simply on the skill and judgment | ®PTi of her commander. An incompetent officer is, of course, an clement of danger, and even the judgment of most skillful may fail at times, uniess it is eup- rted by constant practice in fleet evolutions. Wie for this reason that it has become the prac- tice among nations with large fleets to keep up constant squadron exercises. This is the case ticularly with the great xquadrons of Eng- Eina'and France in the Mediterranean. They usually consist of about twenty sbips, which are bandied with marvelous ability and pre- cision. The risk of accidents sometimes must be taken in order to educate the captains in handling their ships in battle. NO SURPRISE THAT THE VICTORIA SANK. “It is no surprise that the Victoria sank. Nothing could resist the destructive effects of a ram like the Camperdown, which undoubtediy tore through « number of compartments. Auy one compartment of the Victoria could have filled without sinking the ship, but with several damaged, as jenn 7 the not remain afloat. It is easy to believe that ‘several were penetrated when yon. consider the impact of a mass of 11,000 tons, like the Camperdown, moving at the velocity of eight or ten knots, eo is the usual maneuvering speed. Striking an object fair! it becomes almost irresist fable, ys vessel could possibly survive the force of such a blow. ONE LESSON TO BE DRAWN. “There is one lesson to be drawn from thie most deplorable accident. ‘That is the neces- sity for the constan: training and the keeping in a state of high efficiency of all officers liable to have command of ships. The Tesponribility of an officer so placed cannot be exaggerated.” COMMANDER CEADWICK's VIEWS. Commander Chadwick of the United States lemet pene paaens rare courage about 300 pounds. He was not the sort of man to lose a ship through want of ‘kill or prompt; ability. Commander Chadwick said that the fact that the Victoria was sent to bottom so quickly by the collision did not argue any defect in the theory of the construction of heavy war vessels of the modern type. It was not, he said, sup- fora vessels of such would be next toimpossible for one of those ves- sels to ram another. Ordinarily they could keep out of each other's was, and, besides; the vessel attempting to run the other down would be subjected to such a fire from heavy od fitare. 4 COOLER SPELL.
