She Will Soon Be Ready for » Trial of Her Engines. ‘The new cruiser Marblehead is so far com- pleted that she will be ready for the trial of her | engines the latter part of July. This vessel is now lying in the East river at tho foot of Sth street, New York. She is in the hands of her | engine builders, the N. F. Palmer, jr., Com-| pany. The future captain of the Marblehead, Commander Charles O'Neil, was recently in-| spector of ordnance at the Washington gun | foundry. As an ordnance expert Commander O'Neil is deemed one of the best in the United States navy. Much of the modern high-pow- ered gun construction carried on during the la five years for the new navy has been under hi nalsuperintendence.

Andersen, the hardy seaman who brought the Norwegian Viking ship across the Atlantic to New York, recently applied at the, Navy Department for assistance in getting his vessel to Chicago. Commodore Ramsay, chief | of the bureau of navigation, said the depart- ment would do all it could under the law, but that it was entireiy without means to assist the Viking farther on her journey than Albany. ‘There is no vessel or tug in the navy light enough in draught to enter the Erie canal. That is why the Navy Depertment cannot undertake the work of towing the visiting ship all the way to Chicago, and why Capt. Andersen was informed that he must himself provide means for the transportation of his crart from Albany through the Erie canal and the lakes. -——______ NO SWEEPING REDUCTION | torn, | sensation, if so what became of the third copy. Upon this showing appeared to hang all the law and the profits.» ‘Without this showiug the Prosceution seemed to think further inv tion upon this line would be profitless, Thereupon the carbon and ribbon copies were produced to be identified by the persons who performed the copying. The defense quickly gave notice that if the copies were produce: in evidence they should demand to read them page by page. This threat frightened the prosecution, for they could not bear to have the opposition read their pending case, and Commissioner Seymour ruled that he could not prevent euch inspection. The defense, seeing the point they had gained, insisted upon their stand and the prosecution withdrew the copics, A REPORT THAT WAS NOT READ. This morning the prosecution called upon Maj. Emory, chief of the interference division, to tell something about the copies of the 1884 pplication while they remained in his custody. The prosecution offered in evidence a written report which had been made by Maj. Emory to Commissioner Seymour upon this subject, ‘This report was read by the defense and seemed to create consternation in their ranks, Commissioner Seymour excluded the report as evidence and refused to permit THE STAR reporter to read it on the ground that evidence Which is excluded should not be rmade public. Thus for the second time the delicate subject of the 1884 application was avoided. ‘MR. SCOTT'S TESTIMONY. Mr. Alex. H. Scott, assistant chief in tho draughtsman’s division, was then sworn, He testified that since last March twelve copies of Drawbaugh applications were ordered to be made by the chief clerk and were made in his office. ‘The written order of the chief clerk for the copies was offered in evidence, Mr. Edward H. Naylor, bookkeeper in the finance division, was next put on the stand. He was questioned’ to ascertain if there was any- thing on his books to show if Foster & Free- man or the Beli Telephone Company had been charged with or paid for copies of the 1884 application. He testified that there was no such charge on his bocks. MM. CHURCH MAKES A STATEMENT. At this point the proceedings took a new Mr. Church asked to make a statement. It has been shown, he said, that on two differ- ent occasions formal requests wore made by the Beli Telephone Company to obtain copies of pending Drawbaugh applications, which re- quests were denied: | There is now, however, in the possession of the patent oifice a ribbon | copy and a carbon copy of a pending Draw- baugh application, that of 1884, which were made by Miss Bitzer, Mr. Church then reviewed the proceedings of yesterday, when the commissioner would not admit the introduction of the 1884 papers | under pledge of keeping them inviolate from inspection by the opposition. Mr. Church stated that in view of that fact he is precluded from offering farther evidence, “We are, therefore,” said Mr. Church, “com- pelled by the situation to request that your honor, acting as the head of the bureau, shall advise yourself farther ax to who made the copies of the said 1884 application now in your possession, and as to whether they were made by any unofticial person or persons and as to the authority under which they were made,” SOMETHING OF A SEXSATION. This announcement created something of = Mr. Church quickly added, how- ever, that he did not wish to be understood as abandoning the charges. He simply wanted the commissioner himself to ascertain facts which he himself could not elicit without ex- posing the secret file of his clients, He udded that he would withdraw the charge against Mr. Foster personally, but would not withdraw it against him as a member of the firm of Foster & Freeman, Mr. Church here rested his case and the de- fense took charge. TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE. Mr. Charles E. Foster was sworn and testified tohaving no connection whatever with the procurement of the copies of the papers. ‘Mr. Freeman of the firm of Foster & Free- man took the stand. He said that his firm wanted certain certified copies of papers in the Proposed in the Clerical Force of the Pen- non Office.

Emory should give them, He did not have any further communication with them. ‘Mr. Freeman declared that he had never seen the 1884 application nor any copy or portion of it and knew nothing of such copy. MR. FREEMAN CROSS-EXAMINED. Upon cross-examination by Mr. Church Mr. Freeman said that he did not know what Draw- bangh files were being copied. A long and te- dious cross-examination here followed without any material evidence being adduced. Mr. Freeman read several letters from Mr. Starrow of Boston, stating that he had never received copies of ‘Drawbaugh applications, except ap- plteations which were abandoned and which it Was competent to copy. A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER. During the eress-examination reference was made by-Mr. Church to the fact that Mr. Free- man left the service of the patent office, where he was employed as an examiner, and soon thereafter entered the service of the Bell Tele- phone Company. When this statement was made Mr. Starrow cross-examined Mr. Church and elicited the fact that Mr. Church was also an examiner in the patent office, and when he left that position he became counsel for the Drawbaugh ‘people. Mr. Church objected to this line of question- ing and Commissioner Seymour ruled out this (Continued on Sizth Page.) A MEDAL OF HONOR Presented to Capt. Lawton for Distinguished Services at Atianta, Ga. Secretary Lamont today presented a medal of honor to H. W. Lawton, Iste captain and lieutenant colonel thirtieth Indiana volunteers and now lieutenant colonel and inspector gen- eral, United States army, “tor distinguished gallantry in the battle at Atlanta, Ga., August 3, 1864." The circumstances for which Col.Lawton is thus publicly commended occurred during the Atlanta campaign, and in front of Atlanta, Ga., when Capt. Lawton of the thirtieth In- diana volunteers, commanded by Col. O. D. Hurd, greatly distinguished himself by the ex- hibition of unusual courage and judg- ment. During this campaign the Eietieds In- diana served in the third brigade, first division, fourth army corps, and on the $d of August, 1864, Capt. Lawton was brigade officer of the day. On the afternoon of that day the skirmish line was reinforced and an advance was ordered along the whole line (nearly three-fourths of a mile) for the purpose of dislodging enemy from their rifle pits. This move- ment was concerted with the other two brigades of the division, the third being in the center. Capt. Lawton was in command of his line of the brigade and conducted and led its advance. According to official reports the advance was most gallantly made, few shots being fired until the rifle pits were almost rei and the enemy had broken and were fleeing. The rifle pits were taken and two commissioned officers and forty-eight men were made prisoners. The rifle pits were then turned against their late occu- panta, The brigade on the right, which ad- vanced simultaneously as ordered, after reach- ing the enemy's line was almost immediately driven back to its original position. The brigade on the left did not succeed in making | any advance, while Capt. Lawton stubbornly held the position gained and repulsed two attempts of the enemy to retake the works. In the language of Col, Hurd, “The success of this assault was due mainly to the intelligent dispositions made by Capt. Lawton and to his personel courage and stubborn resistance of the enemy's repeated charges." - THE LATK wM. D. ‘McvoY. He Is the Fourth Minister to Liberia Who Has Died at Monrovia. Mr. Wm. D. McCoy of Indiana, news of whose death has just been received, is the fourth United States minister to Liberia that has died at Monrovia during the past twelve years. The other three were the Rev. Henry Highland Garnet of New York, the Rev. Moses Aaron Hopkins of North Carolina and the Rev. Alex- ander Clark of Iowa, all Afro-Americans of mixed blood. President Cleveland appointed Charles H. J. Taylor of Kansas minister resident to Liberia. He remained in the country but » few months and then resigned. Cleveland then appointed Rev. Moses Aaron Hopkins of North Caro- lina, who died soon after reaching Monrovia. The President then appointed the Rev. E. E. Smith of North Carolina, who held the post until President Harrison recalled him and appointed the Rev. Alexander Clark, who died in a few months and was succeeded by Mr. McCoy. At the time of his death Minister McCoy was making preparations to return to the United States, and wrote friends in New ah he hoped to leave Liberia early in ly. ° RESTORED TO HIS PLACE. Alken Recount the Finding of the Bald- neade® Pension cont = The commissioner of pensions, Judge Loch- ren, will recommend to the Secretary of the Interior that Dr, Warren Holt of Missouri, re- cently a medical examiner in the pension office, be reinstated in his former position, This action is the result of tho discovery in the pension offico of what has become known | as ‘the baldheaded pension case.” Last February Mr. Tarsney of Missouri delivered @ speech in the House in which he made the charge that pensions had been granted on ac- count of baldness; that is, whero the loss of hair was the only disability assigned in cases where | pensions had been granted. This statement was officially denied by the pension bureau, and the results upon which this offi- cial denial was based was submitted to the House by Mr. Grout Mr. Tarsney in reply said that he could not give the name of his informant, a he was a medical examiner in the pension office and he would lose his place if he became known. He added, however, that he would take pains to have the truth of the statements made on the authority of this ex- aminer verified and if he found that they were not true thet he would expose him as a falsifier. Dr. Holt was confident that he remembered such a case, but he could not find it, and in ud- dition on the 2d of last March he was dis- missed. An effort has been made to reinstate him, but as the charges under which he had been dismissed were not disproved he could not be put back in his old place. However, yester- day the case turned up in the pension office and Dr. Holt's statemert has been verified. ‘The case is as follows: Allen G. Peck of com- pany H, first Rhode Island light artillery, was allowed a pension on October 19, 1891. | ‘Cer- tificate No. 670,175 was issued to him and the case was ordered to be dated from March 1, 1884, and the arrearages at $4 per month amounted to about $964. The records of the pension bureau developed the fact that no other cause was given as the reason for the al- lowance of Mr. Peck’s claim than the “loss of hair; rerult of typhoid fever.” ‘The discovery of this case has not only added a curious example to the number of odd cases in the pension office, but it bas resulted in making anemploye happy. It is probably the only case on record where it was officially decided that the loss of hair head disabled a person from the performance of manual labor. The man had typhoid fever, but the only result from the sickness as far as the doctors could determine was the loss of his hair,aud so the medical referee recommended a pension on that account, Se ‘West Point Graduates Assigned to Service. Secretary Lamont has assigned to the service, as second lieutenants, the following cadets who graduated at the West Point Military Academy this year: M, Smith, second cavalry; Cassatt, ninth cavalry; T. Smith, seventeenth infantry; Walker, ninth eavalr; infantry; Pattison,third cavalry: cavalry; Sawtelle, seventh cavalry; Perry, sev- enteenth infantry; Houls, third infantry; Kil- bourne, first infantry; Hart, sixteenth infantry; Spence, sixteenth infant infantry; MeKenna, fifteenth infantry; Jamer son, seventh infantry; Carey, sixteenth infan- ‘Taylor, twelfth infantry; H.

After they got through work vesterday even- ing Lloyd eat up talking with Chappell. Lloyd seemed out of spirits und said: “Chappell, I wish you would draw up my will. I feel as if something is going to happen.” Chappell told him he bad better do it him- self and he would be a witness. So Lloyd sat down and wrote out his will, to which Chappell put his signature. It was about 2 o'clock this morning when Chappell was awakened by a pistol shot. Tump- ing up, he «aw that Lloyd had shot himself. He had placed the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and fired.

An experiment is being made by the patent office to determine the ability of the Nationa Lithographic Company of this city, now con- trolling the plant of the Bell Lithographic Company, to publish the Patent Office Gazette. The contract for this work has been | given each year since 1874 to what is now known as the Norris Peters Company of this city. This latter company is now the contractor for this work. A new contract is to be entered into for the coming fiscal year, and the National Company offers to do the work for leex than it now costs the office, Before, however, giving out the contract the National Company is being tried, and they are now engaged in getting out the issue of the first Tuesday in July. A similar experiment was made eight years ago, and prior to that time an attem) was made by an outside company to do work, but in both instances the new men failed ‘to give the satiefaction which is claimed for the work of the present contractors. ee: THE EAM IN NAVAL WARFARE. One of Admiral Ammen's Latest Utter- ances on Their Value in Engagements. Asa result of the Victoria disaster renewed attention will be given, naval experts say, to the ram ase special implement in naval war- | fare. The United States has taken the lead in his direction and bas already Inunched and nearly completed the famous Ammen ram, the Katahdin, designed by Admiral Ammen, now retired. Admiral Ammen has written much in advocacy of the principle of the construction of this kind of craft, and one of his latest ut- | terances on the ram in naval warfare, printed in the Seaboard of June 8 of this year, contains the following: ‘As rams, such vessels would be so greatly | superior to ordinary battle ships as now con- structed, and to the armored cruisers in facility of maneuver, that they would not use guns | against them! In the face of euch rams the old | constructions would be obsolete. Several weeks | ago a telegram came from Malta that a torpedo boat bad run into the battle ship Nile, and in- | jured her tosuch an extent as to fill ber forward | compartment with water. The Nile was docked | without delay, and nothing more bas appeared in the newspapers in relation to this tingular occurrence. The many collisions of armored vessels and the consequences have abundantly established the fact that armor is of no avail against a ram, but that so light » weight as a torpedo boat shoull bring to grief eo beavy a weight as a battie ship is indeed a revelation of which there is more to learn. “The one pressing necessity with us is to se- cure an effective coast defense. Until then our assertions of what we will do should any other annex the Hawaiian Islands, or take mil- possession of the American isthmus, are idle words, In the event of a war, with our present and prospective means of defense, we would have either to abate our pretensions or suffer the punishment that could readily be inflicted on us were all the navy that we possoss and now in progress of construction quad- rupled in force. “Hind we fleets and oq battle ehips and armor navy would not feel easy on our costa, Were wo io attempt to meet them gun for gun it would be an expensive and a losing game; we could not concentrate an inferior force in the face of an enemy, but a ram force would move with impunity at any and all times, Rams with guns such as I have indicated could go to the uttermost parts of the earth, and would mect no adversaries on the high seas that would be able to successfully encounter them. Com- in cost, vessel for vessel, with the battle ship of today, they would be much less, would longer } jaadrons of rams, the | be far better sea boats, would last much and fewer of them would be required.” Court of Claims Decisions. A number of opinions were announced in the Court of Claims yesterday, and the court ad- Journed until the 16th of next October. Among the opinions hapded down was one in favor of James A. Briggs of Kentucky, administrator of C. M. Briggs, for $88,104, for cotton seized by the United States government during the war of the rebellion. Another was also rendered in favor of the old corporation of the Bank of Virginia, now represented by W. B. Isaacs, W. G. Taylor and John C. Williams, for 16,987 in gold. This was apart of $177,721.90 in gold captured at the end of the war by the Union army on the fail of Richmond, Va. ‘The sum of $146,029.90 belonged to the confederate states, and was confiscated, but the amount owned by the Bank of Virginia is now. by ‘the Court of Claims, returned.

The only informa- tion received, however, was the names of thoxe who had been taved, and that only came to band at 6:30 o'clock this morning. In the meantime an immense crowd gathered about the admiralty office eager to grasp any scrap of information. In the crowd were many rad-faced women and children and young girls, whose husbands, fathers or were, members of the ill-fated crew. Hundreds of living in the provinces who had rela- ves or friends on the Victoria could not wait at home for the receipt of farther details of the dirarter. Ax soon as they beard of the foundering of the ship they took trains for London, in the bo- lief that at the admiralty office they would soon learn whether their loved ones bad es- caped or gonedown with the ship on which they served.
