How the Piers Were Built Under Great Difficulties, OF INTEREST JUST NOW. Bearing on the Ability of the Piers to Carry a Railroad. A FIGHT AGAINST ODDS. The aqueduct piers being now of consid- | erable interest to Georgetowners, tnasmuch as they are striving to get the use of them for electric railroad companies desiring to enter the town, the following may lend ad- ditional interest to them: When it was decided by the Alexandria Canal Company and others most interested to construct an aqueduct, the work was looked upon as such a gigantic one, particu- larly when the proposed character of the piers was made known, that the project was cried down on all sides. ‘The site for the proposed structure had been already fixed in 1820 by the engineers of the Chesapeake and Ohio company, but Maj. Turnbull and Mr. Fairfax of the Alex- andria company, after a careful resurvey of the river, decided upon a shorter and more advantageous line. Acting in accordance with their plan, they applied to the mayor of Georgetown for permission to rest the northern abutment of the proposed struc- ture on the lower end of Lingan street. No action was taken at that time, however. The original idea was to construct twelve arches of stone, supported by eleven piers and two abutments; the arches to be 100 feet span and tweniy-ilve feet rise, the sup- ports to be curves of eleven centers; three abutting piers, every third one to be twen- ty-one feet thick at the springing of the arch, and the masonry of the land abut- ments to be twenty-one feet thick.-A cause- way 350 feet in length was substituted for three of the arches at the Virginia end. The adoption of the causeway made a change in the arrangement of the piers, and it was decided that the aqueduct should consist of eight piers 1065 ( apart; two of them to be abutment piers twenty-one feet thick and six of them piers of support, to be each twelve feet thick at high water mark. The Coffer Dam. The bids received on the work ranged from $99,0UU to $250,000. Among them was one from Martineau & Stewart, one of whom, Dr. Martineau, afterward sent in a Proposition for the coffer dams alone, pro- posing to build them on a plan which he extolled as original, economical and easily carried out. The engineers examined tne pian, but were unsatisfied with it, claiming that a dam so made would not be water tight. It would be incapable of resisting the heavy pressure of water which would be thrown against it. The plan at first had many defects, but was finally made practicable with the as- sistance of Maj. Turnbull and other engi- neers of note. Martineau & Company were obifged to abandon the contract, though,be- fore success was met with. ‘The engineers determined to construct the piers on solid rock if difficulties beset them by the score. But little experience in found- ing upon rock had been enjoyed in this country prior to 1830. Committee's Report. ‘That difficulties were met with is proven by the following from the committee's re- port: “At length the critical period arrived when it appeared highly probable that an- other day’s work would have defeated the whole enterprise. It was known that noth- ing but actual perception of the conse- quences would bring conviction, which all reasoning (resisted by the strong desire to reach the rock) had failed to produce. Sev- eral of the stoutest laborers were set to work with a view to dig a pit to the rock, which was not more than three or four feet from the then surface. They had not pierced the mud above one-half its thick- ness before a column of water, copious and alarming, suddenly gushed up. ‘This pro- duced an immediate conviction of the un- justifiable hazard of any further attempt to bare the rock, and the factitious founda- tion being without further hesitation agreed to was accordingly commenced.” Maj. Turnbull’s Report. In Maj. Turnbull's report of the pro- gress of the work to the engineer depart- ment he said: “As no memoirs or drawings of this work had been published, nor of the London bridge (the deepest perhaps in Ku- rope), the engineers were obliged to pro- ceed with the greatest caution. They were aware of the very exposed situation of the work and impressed with the absolute ne- upon the rock. The difficulties and dangers of the attempt, although they were foreseen, were deemed subordinate to the great object of stability,and in this view they were prompt- ly sustained by the president and directors of the company.” Pa the Water. After the dam was constructed, puddling clay was thrown in between the two rows of piles and was rammed to make the dam tight. Then the steam engine was used for pumping the water and removing the mud. Seventeen feet of water was discharged by two pumps in forty-eight hours and thir- ty-two minutes. After a large portion of the mud was removed, a break would [re- quently oecur. One dam is known to have been filled more than ten times before the rock beneath the river was reached. Curious Scene. It was such an unusual spectacle to see men busily at work far below the surface of the river, that people from all over the District would visit the scene at every op- portunity and linger there until necessity called them away. Once, it is recorded, the President and his entire cabinet paid a visit to the works and were exceedingly interest- ed. Though the engineer had confidence in the ultimate consummation of his scheme, the uncertain ability of the dam to resist the immense pressure which was constantly against it naturally caused him much anxiety. But wherever there is brain, untiring energy and money something is surely to be accomplished,and at last after several years had been spent in unceasing and conscien- tious work Major Turnbull had the pleasure of seeing eight of the most solid piers that had ever been erected towering twenty-nine feet above high water mark. At the head of each of these bridge supports was con- | structed an ice breaker of cut granite, the two lower courses being five feet below high water mark and twenty-two inches thick. No stone used wus in size less than twenty cubic feet. When all the piers had been constructed a steam engine removed the dams by driving upward of fifty piles a day. A Congratulates Himself. “When,” said the major afterward, “T re- flect upon the numerous difficulties which we have overcome in the progress of the work and recall the disheartening predic- tions by that numerous portion of the com- munity who looked upon the attempt to establish foundations at so great a depth and in a situation so very exposed and so dangerous, and who did not fail to treat it as an absudtity, I cannot but congratulate myself upon having so happily succeeded, and while so doing I recollect with a very grateful sense of what I owe them for it the senerous confidence which the president and directors of the company always re- posed in me, and I recall with pleasure and admiration the unhesitating promptness with which they always seconded me— bringing to my aid their own spirit of zeal- ous perseverance backed by all the disposa- ble means of the company.” The First Test. The first substantial proof of the stability of the piers was shown in the winter of 1840. In the upper Potomac region the weather had been particularly hard, and the snow and ice that had gathered in vast and hardened quantities only wanted a little sunshine before starting on its uproarious journey to the sea. At last the hills and mountains refused it a longer resting piace, and down in the river it rolled. Sixteen inches of ice had formed beneath the new Aqueduct and the Little Falls, but when the heavy evidences of cold in the Cumber- land district came crashing down it was torn in great sheets from the shore and hurled with terrific violence against the piers by a current running over six miles an hour. The spectacle ts said to have been | an imposing one. With anxious eyes the| fearful constructors watched the work they had spent so many months on, hoping against, yet expecting to see it rudely dam- aged. But as the glistening mass wi forced up against the ice breakers, often a height of ten or twelve feet, it broke by its own weight and passed off without the slightest injury. Not a stone was displaced, and when it was once more “all quiet along the Potomac” it was found that thegonly damage sustained was the loss of some lumber that had been improperly secured. _—__ HE IS A HE PANG IN COREA. How a Pagan King Has Honored an American. From the San Francisco Chronicle. To be gazetted postmaster general of a heathen island which has no post office, and wear carved jade behind the ears, is an oriental dream of magnificence and pagan distinction which few Americans have ever had thrust upon them. The friends of Clarence R. Greathouse, formerly an at- torney in this city, will be pleased to learn that he has been so honored. They may also flatter themselves that, if Clarence keeps his health and continues to catch on with the heathen as in the past, his vaulting ambition may some day ele- vate him to a position which will entitle him to wear a ring of carved jade in his nose. Meantime Mr. Greathouse is satisfied with the lumps of jade that dangle and flop behind his ears, and which cause the American to be much admired and looked up to by his fellow-pagans. Greathouse left San Francisco, where he was known to nearly every lawyer and bus- ihes¥ waa, 1M 1ddv, WW vELUIME Cuuted Slates consul general to vapan. im a lew suurt years, aigea solely by ms higa capacity anu couspicuous mtegrity of character, ne bas risen lo tne exauwed station of me Faas oF Seoul in the court of Corea. ‘Lnere is no postal department in the king- dom ot Uorea, but tne rank of me Fang, whatever that is, was an oifice witnin tue gift of Woe King, and the ex-American con- sul geveral got it, When the post omce will be established is a matter o: litte or no concern, Corea even lacks a@ bog in which to build a post office, but Clarence wears the carved jaae behind his ears just the same, and rattles it when he walks along the streets of Seoul with his friend, the king. The jade resembles petritied paste more than anything else, und has dragons and snakes and things carved on it. In ad- dition to the carved jade the He Pang of Seoul wears a hat which looks like a joint of stovepipe. The height of the hat denotes the rank of the wearer. The one worn by Mr. Greathouse is nearly three feet tall, and it is said that no one in the kingdom dare ask him where he got it. When parading in his flowered robes, tall hat and carved jade the little pagans fall on the sidewalk to let the He Pang pass. Originally from Kentucky, Mr. Greathouse early developed that antiphathy to water for which Kentuckians are noted, and which eminently fitted him for the social duties of a diplomatic office abroad. After establishing himself in the bar in this city, as well as the bars, the future He Pang forsook the legal fraternity to shine as a journalist. Clarence’s great specialties were sinkers, or editorials, as they are sometimes called, which he wrote with the aid of an amanuensis. Not frequently it required a week or more to produce a pol- ished leader, owing to a habit Clarence had | of calling off his amanuensis while they went out for inspiration. Owing to his Ken- tucky training the editor outclassed his hireling in this branch of the profession, and during the busy season it was nece: sary to add a snake charmer to the staff, whose duty it was to keep the amanuensis in_working order. Through the influence of political friends Greathouse wes appointed consular repre- sentative to Japan. His rapid rise in the estimation of the heathen was due, it is sald, to the disappearance of a cholera epi- demic, which was raging at the time of his advent there. J) why Asiatic cholera and Clarence Greathouse could not do business together in Japan is not clear, but at any rate three weeks after he landed the mi- crobes dispersed and have never since in- vaded that part of the orient. During the early part of his administra- tion Mr. Greathouse combined the business of trying out game cocks for export with the duties of his office. The chickens were sent to Con Mooney of this city, and their performances in the pit clearly established the fact that the United States had a con- sul general at Yokohama who knew his bus- iness. While still serving as consul Clar- ence got quite a tip that the King of Corea was thinking of changing his He Pang, and as that was the job he wanted Mr. Great- house petitioned President Cleveland for his release from office. It was granted a year before the expira- tion of his term, and the aspirant for pagan honors and carved jade behind his ears went over to Corea. Unfortunately the He Pang’s time was not quite up, but Clarence was installed as adviser to the king, In which position he wore a bracelet on his feft wrist, as an insignia of high rank. Finally a vacancy occurred in the He Pang department, which combined the office of postmaster general and carved jade. As previously stated, there is no post office in Corea. which in a measure accounts for Mr. Greathouse’s eagerness to secure the pagan plum. see! NAPOLEON ON RECIPROCITY. je Reason Why England Was Always Ready to Fight Him. From the Century. Napoleon was in very good spirits and seemed very desirous to show that though he had ambition England was not without her share also. He said that ever since the time of Cromwell we had set up extraordi- nary pretensions and arrogated to ourselves the dominion of the sea; that after the peace of Amiens ‘Lord Sidmouth wished to renew the former treaty of commerce, which had been made by Vergennes after the American war, but that he (Napoleon), anxious te encourage the industry of Frence, had expressed his readiness to en- ter into a treaty, not like the former, which it was clear from the portfolio of Versailles must be injurious to the interests of France, but on terms of perfect reciprocity —viz, that if France took so many millions of English goods England should take as many millions of French produce in re- turn. Lord Sidmouth said: “This is totally new. I cannot make a treaty on these conditions.” “Very weil. I cannot force you into a treaty of commerce any more than you can force me, and we must remain as we are— without commercial intercourse.” “Then,” said Lord Sidmouth, “there will be war, for unless the people of England have the advantages of commerce secured to them which they have been accustomed to they will force me to declare war.” “As you please. It is my duty to study the just interests of France, and I shail not enter into any treaty of commerce on other principles than those I have stated.” A Po He stated that although England made, malta the pretext, all the world knew that was not the real cause of the rupture—that | he was sincere in his desire for peace, as a proof of which he sent his expedition to San Domingo. When it was remarked by Col. Campbell that England did not think him sincere, from his refusing a treaty of commerce and sending consuls to Ireland with engineers to examine the harbors, he jaughed and said that !t was not necessary, for every harbor in England and Ireland was well known to him. Bertrand remark- ed that every ambassador was a spy. Napoleon said that the Americans admit- ted the justness of his principles of com- merce. Formerly they brought over some millions of tobacco and cotton, took specie in return and then went empty to England, where they furnished themselves with Brit- ish manufactures. He refused to admit their tobacco and cotton unless they took trom France an equivalent in French pro- duce. They yielded to his system as being just. He added that now England had it all her own way, that there was no power which could successfully oppose her system, and that she might now impose on France any treaty she pleased. “The Bourbons,poor devils (here he check- ed himself), are great lords, who are con- tented with having back their estates and castles, but if the French people become dissatisfied with that (the treaty) and find that there is not the encouragement for their manufactures in the interior of the country that there should be, they (the Bourbons) will be driven out in six months. Marseilles, Nantes, Bordeaux and the coasts are not troubled by that, for they always have the same commerce, but in the interior it is an- other thin, I well know what the feeling is for me at Terrare,Lyons and those places which have manufactures, and which I have encouraged.” ae More Iron Hall Litigation. The McIntosh and Libby factions of the Iron Hall filed their exceptions yesterday to the decision of Judge Winters at Indian- apolis, and took an appeal, which means another year of litigation. tee Judge Jenkins’ Case Dropped.

BRINGING BACK “JOHN BULL.” The Old Locomotive to Returm to Washington Tomorrow. The old “John Bull” locomotive running under its own steam and drawing the two original Camden and Amboy railroad coach- es arrived at Altoona, Pa., yesterday af- ternoon, and was welcomed with much en- thusiasm. The entire progress of the quaint old train over the Pittsburg division was almost as much of an ovation as when it Passed over the same section of the line on the way to the fair in April last. The train will be run over the middle division to Har- risburg today and tomorrow morning at 6:50 it will leave Harrisburg for Washing- ton via the Northern Central road. It will arrive ut York about’ 8:30 o'clock, Han- over junction, 9:30; Baltimore, about 12:40, and Washington, about # p.m. A commit- tee from the National Museum of Washing- ton will meet the relic at Harrisburg and escort it back to its old quarters in that institution. The run to Washington will be made slowly and stops will be made at principal stations in order that the people may see the train. The old engine is be- having finely on its homeward trip. ————. RAISING WILLOW FOR THE MARKET A Crop Which Needs Harvesting but Once Every Four Years. In a beautiful sweep of lowland north of Melvale station on the Northern Central railroad, and about nine miles from Balti- more, there is a peculiar farm. It is pecu- Mar in that it renders to its owner and tiller but one crop in four years, and that a crop of willow shocts. The farmer, Antone Spath, came from Frankfort, Germany, many years ago, and after erecting himself a comfortable stone house, which still stands in the midst of a picturesque clump of wil- lows, at the end of the little valley, set about planting his first crop of willow shoots. Every year since he has gone on planting row after row until the valley has become covered with them. Spath rad learned the art of weaving willow ware in his boyhood days by the shores of the river Main, and as fast as his little plantation grew he gathered the shoots, stripped them of their green outer covering and, after drying them, wove baskets of every con- ceivable form or size. “It seems rather peculiar work in this country,” said the willow farmer to a re- porter for the American, speaking of his business, “but in all parts of Europe, es- pecially in the German provinces, it is very common thing to find willow planta- tions and willow weavers, for there willow is used in many forms and for a greater number of purposes than I find it used in this country. In Germany and France wil- low is employed in making at least twenty different kinds of bird cages, while in America metal is used—brass or iron wire— and different woods. Among the best fami- Nes in European countries cradles, woven by German workers, may be found con- structed entirely of willow. Then there are a hundred and one sha; of marketing baskets, baskets used by milliners and laun- dresses, baskets and panniers to be carried upon the backs of man and beasts for hold- ing fish and fowl. In preparing the willow for the weaver we plant the slips in long rows parallel with a running stream of water, and cut them when they have at- tained four years of growth. The cutting time is early in the spring before the sap is done running, and after tying them in bundles they are placed in ponds of water to keep them in a green state until ready for stripping. Stripping the willow is ac- complished by drawing the switches through and between two heavy fron stanchions, whose edges peel the light green bark from the white heart, and then, after drying or curing them upon long racks, we have got the willow in a form for the weaver. It was many years after I planted this farm with willows before anyone thought of imitating my example, but now there ral other plantations located upon the Wash- ington and Annapolis roads, and though you may find quite as busy scenes there, you will scarcely find a more picturesque piace than this anywhere, and that was one of the reasons that led me to settle here.” ——+ee— PHOTOGRAPHS. Pictures Taken. From the New York World. Here are some points for the woman who Proposes to have her own or her husband's or her children’s pictures taken. They are the utterances of one who speaks with au- thority, a photographer, and this is what he says: Be adaptable. Resign yourself with as complete confidence to the artist photog- Tapher as you would to the artist painter, and the result will be entirely satisfactory. Disabuse your mind of the idea that poses and expressions which look well as prac- ticed before your mirror will photograph well. Before the camera they will gener- ally produce contorted features. distorted bodies and monstrosities of hands. Do nothing; forget that you want to look well and you will succeed in looking natural, As to your dress, any material that falls in graceful lines is desirable. Light colors are always preferable. For soft and dainty effects nothing is so beautiful as trans- parent materials, such as tulles. laces, nets. Black silk can be worn to advantage, and black tulle and lace take beautifully. Woolen goods define the figure best, being less liable to wrinkle and crease than silk or satin. Open work embroideries in col- lars and cuffs produce exceedingly fine ef- fects, particularly in pictures of the Rem- brandt style. Dark green and red are the desire of the artist; large plaids suggest comic pictures. Velvet, plush and jet do not photograph well. Close bands about the throat are to be avoided: allow it to be free. The slender woman may have per- fect confidence in the Rembrandt shading to produce roundness of outline. Rem- brandt, as you know, painted the broad side of the face in the shadow and the narrow side in the light. with the result of a startling life-likeness in his portraits never excelled. The woman who is thin should drape neck and arms in delicate gauze or lace, and “half concealing, half revealing,” make herself doubly attractive. Never dress a child in velvet unless of light colored hues. Your bov’s charming black or green velvet suit will be a photo- graphic failure. There is nothing so be- fitting a boy in a picture as simplicity. Never ask the artist to make a full length picture of a boy in knickerbockers. Boys’ feet are proverbially large, and loom up immensely when attached to a pair of slim legs, clad from ankle to knee in stockings. Girls need accessories and striking effects— and, besides, are more gfaceful than boys. Baby, of course, must wear white, with no tack of ruffies and laces to add to his charm. Men's clothing should invariably be dark. Don’t tell the photographer that you are the worst subject in the world to photo- graph, and never had a successful picturé It is a stilted remark. resulting m a spectes of egotism which simply means that no camera has ever yet succeeded in pro- ducing the beauties that you see in your- self. von't practice expression and so suc- ceed in disgusting yourself. Don't tell baby that birds and monkeys will jump out of the side of the gallery to amuse him. His disappointment will make him cross. Don't bring the entire family along to keep the child in good humor. The artist can do that much more easily, and the baby is less liable to become nervous. Don’t bring a friend along to pose you. Trust the professional rather than ama- teur skill. Don’t, if you are an amateur. try to In- struct an artist of thirty years’ experience how to make a successful photograph. Don't grow angry if vou cannot break the business rules of the studio because you do not think they are good. see Vaillant Lived at Wilkesbarre. The Paris bomb fiend, Auguste Vaillant, is believed to be a French anarchist who resided in Wilkesbarre, Pa., for several months last year, being employed at the Backus works as a galvanizer and decora- tor. He boarded at Kohn’s Central Hotel under the name of Vaillant and tallies with the description of that man. He was ac- companied by his little daughter. He had been in Buenos Ayres previous to his com- ing to Wilkesbarre. He spoke English, French and German, and was looked upon as a full-fledged anarchist.

RESULT OF A “PERSONAL.” The Remantic Marriage of a New York Editor and a Virginia Girl. A romantic marriage took place at Pro- hibition Park, Staten Island, shortly before midnight on Saturday. The bridegroom was Hans Panser, assistant editor of The Liter- ary Digest, printed in Astor Place, New York, and the bride was Miss Laura Moran of Virginia, a daughter of the venerable Archdeacon Moran, pastor of the St. George parish at St. Denis, Md. Mr. Panser, a few weeks ago, gained considerable notoriety by publishing a “personal” in a paper of New York, through which means, it is alleged, he became acquainted with Miss Moran by correspondence and exchange of photo- graphs. Miss Moran is a handsome woman, about twenty-eight years old, well educated and accomplished, who has for several years been a teacher in art and languages in the Wytheville Young Ladies’ Seminary in Virginia. A few days ago she told the principal of the seminary she intended to resign her po- sition, as she was going to be married soon. The principal became enraged, and said that Miss Moran might go at once. Miss Moran accordingly packed her trunk and telegraphed her lover to meet her at a Jer- sey City railroad station on Saturday after- noon. Panser was startied at this unexpected course, as it had been arranged that he should be married in New York city on Christmas evening. Finally his friend, the Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Wright, editor-in-chief of The Literary Digest, who lives in Pro- hibition Park, arranged to have his wife go with’ Mr. Panser to meet Miss Moran and take her to their home in Prohibition Park. ‘When the southern express came into Jer- sey City, Mr. Panser and Mrs. Wright were on hand. It was the first time the lovers had met, but they recognized one another from the photographs which had been inter- changed. It was arranged that the ceremony should take place that evening at Mr. Wright's home, and as Mr. Wright is a ordained minister, he consented to perfo:m the ceremony. A number of neighbors had been invited to witness the ceremony. ‘When, however, Miss Moran told him she was confident her father would object to the marriage, were he consulted, Mr. Wright refused to tle the nuptial knot. After con- siderable hesitation, however, Mr. Wright consented to lend his aid. So he went out in the severe storm and drove two miles to the rectory of the Church of the Ascension and sought the services of the Rev. Pascal Harrower. Mr. Harrower was not at home, having exchanged pulpits with the Rev. Dr. David J. Evans of Middletown. When Dr. Evans heard the name of the bride he re- plied that he could not perform the cere- mony. It was a strange coincidence that he was an acquaintance of Miss Moran's father, and it is further alleged that Mr. Evans and Miss Moran were at one time engaged to be married. The Rev. Mr. Wright, foiled in his good offices, returned home about 11 Pp. m. Then the couple went to the house of the Rev. D. 8. Gregory, a retired Preaby- terian clergyman. He consented to perform the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Panser remained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wright until yesterday morning, when they went to New York, where they will live. —_——_ -+e+_____ The Sentimental Side of the Hawalian Problem. From Bine and Gray. Until all the inside facts are known we do not propose to criticise the course of the administration too severely. No one can doubt the courage and patriotism of Mr. Cleveland, but he 1s, perhaps, as likely to err as some other human beings. Mr. Gresham is something of a conundrum. He enjoys that degree of popularity which Properly belongs to a public man whose convictions, like @ railroad timetable, are “subject to change without notice,” but it is difficult to believe that he has reached a point where the spectacle of a monarchy re-established by our armed marines to the tune of the “Star Spangled Banner” would be entirely in accordance with his latest revised views. Whether the assumption made by the Secretary that the queen was deposed by means of the power of our arms be true or not—and few Americans believe this ver- sion—the fact remains that civilization and the cause of freedom demand that weak, corrupt monarchy be never restored. Precedents and courtesy must not im- pede the march of progress, and interna- tional laws must be freshly made, as the world’s good may require. The civilized Caucasian must rule the savage, who may regain supremacy through the force of numbers only when he, too, becomes civil- ized. The idea that a monarchy shall be aided or abetted in Hawali simply because @ majority of the inhabitants are thought to desire it is carrying the idea of majority rule to a point where it is not conducive to the best interests of the natives nor the welfare of the white population. Almost as well to assert that the people of the thirteen colonies should have consulted the Indians when their representatives met in Carpenters’ Hall to frame the first Consti- tution. But all this contention is absurd. Every one believes that the provisional government of Hawaii should be supported and the queen forever relegated to obscur- ity, and that the services of the United States are at the disposal of President Dole to carry out this program. We respect- fully give notice to whom it may concern that any radical departure from this policy —any active movement in a kontrary di- rection—will bring down upon ‘the offenders a cyclone of wrath, compared to which the recent popular protest was like a summer zephyr. Examining Pittsburg’s Encampment Ph John G. B. Adams, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., arrived at Pittsburg last night. He was accompanied by Adjutant General James F. Leach of Lynn, Mass., and S. N. Browne of New Hampshire, and Wm. Olin of Boston, The committee will hold its regular annual meeting today. It will consider the matter of national en- campment to be held at Pittsburg next summer. Its business is plainly to consider the fitness of the city for the encampment and the preparations which the citizens are making, and if they think it n they have the power to reverse the decision of the national encampment which select- ed such city and choose a new one. soe Relics of the Cronin Tragedy.

The following are the principal points of speech in which Lord Armstrong, at the meeting of shareholders of his famous com- pany the other day,expressed his views con- cerning the dangers involved in the con- struction of gigantic ironclads: “The ram of the Camperdown, although striking with a restricted momentum, was buried deep into the side of the Victoria, and it cannot be doubted that while armor is in a great measure effective against pro- jectiles, and netting against torpedoes, noth- ing can withstand the power of the ram. But although in the case of this terrible ac- cident the blow of the ram was inflicted with Incomparably less force than that due to the full speed of the ship, the dam- age done to the ramming vessel was such as to place her in imminent danger of fol- lowing her victim to the bottom. It ap- pears, therefore, that the strength and sta- bility of the prow and ram of the Camper- down are quite insufficient to enable her to deliver an effective stroke against an ad- versary without at the same time imperil- ing her own flotation. This is like having & great gun that cannot be fired for fear it should burst, and I apprehend that what ap- plies to the ram of the Camperdown would apply equally to the ram of every great bat- tle ship in the British service. ae need not be large nor costly, and they would be free from all the complications of battle hips. Personal dash, of which there is no want in the British navy, would be the chief Quality required in directing their use and Se corel wagers Tater smal! portance comparison with that of a battle ship. I am, therefore, of opinion that a considerable number of inex- pensive ramships should form an item in any future ship-building program. “While on this subject I cannot refrain from expressing my appreciation as to the disastrous effect of high explosive shells dis- charged in vast numbers from quick-firing suns against the unarmored portions of our battle ships. The experiments made some years ago with such shells against the Re- sistance, which was an armored ship of small value given up for experiment, proved that such shells would be competent to wreck the unprotected plating down to, or possibly below, the water level, and that even where a streak of armor was applied at the water-line the damage might be low enough down to cause the ship to be flooded by the wash of the sea. It was proved also that armor of small thickness insured the bursting of these shells harmlessly outside of the ship, which, of course, raises the question whether, if armor has to be used at all, it ought not to be applied in varying ickness over the whole ship.” SUITABLE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
