TNS INTEREST IN POLITICAL CIRCLES The Methods the Senator Employed in 1880. —————————— CERTAIN MEN ARRAIGNED —— Mr. Sherman's book continues to be a topic of prime interest in political circles, and the suggestion is thrown out that it may lead to still more startling and dis- quieting disclosures. As matters now stand, the Senator from Ohio has arraigned certain mer who, as he believes, have in times past stood in the way of his nomi- nation for the presidency. The indictment is strongly drawn, and is fortified with perscnal letters and public papers of definite and. indisputable value. The Senator does not mince his words. He calls a deal a deal, and he asserts that things have been done by and for certain opponents of his for the great prize which he himself would not have done or knowingly suffered done in his interests to have secured that prize. The ground taken is very high, and the prediction is made that unless it can be maintained Mr. Sherman will himself, in the end, be injured. Doubt as to His Ground. Can the Senator maintain his ground? Some doubt is expressed about this. He has been a strong candidate before three national conventions—in 1876, in 1880 and in 1888. The canvasses made by him and his Heutenants were thorough, and the one made in 1880, the year to which the present contention applies, was especially so. Mr. Sherman was then Secretary of the Treas- ury, the patronage of which office extends all over the country, This patronage, it is asserted, was used in his behalf. The in- ternal revenue and the customs service were both laid under tribute in the way of getting traveling officials to work for Mr. Sherman. President Hayes did not ob- ject, because he was ‘very anxious for his great Secretary to succeed him in the presi- dentia! chair. Mr. Sherman wrote numer- ous letters to his adherents here and there, replying to letters received from them, or in submitting suggestions of his own about matters. Many of those letters are still in existence, and some of them are in the hands of men no longer supporters of. the Senater. They may not be produced at this time, or at any time, but if they should be what would they reveal? The Usual Methods, The answer to this question is general as yet. There is no reflection on Mr. Sher- mar more than that he has cast on other men. Rut it is inisted that he proceeded precisely as other candidates proceeded, and that his friends did for him precisely what the friends of the others did for them. No more, no less. The read to a presidential nomination is an exceedingly hard read to travel. Every fellow encounters the same difficulties, and tries to get around them in about the same way. Each state is studied through its local leaders, and overtures for support are made through them. Deals are often indulged in, and sometimes become very protitable to a candidate. Sometimes they do not. Then they begin to appear immoral. The Southera Delegates, Mr. Sherman's support in national con- ventions has always come largely from the south. It did In i880. This makes the present controversy the moro interesting. The southern delegates in republican national conventions are hard to handle. Mr. Sher- man’s lieutenants have found them so. and in ISSO there was the greatest pulling and hauling to keep them in line. The Grant men would raid the Sherman camp at night and carry oft a dozen or two of the weaker brethren, who would have to be tolled back in some way next morning. “How are things today?’ inquired a Sherman leader of one of the sub-leaders. “Everything was all right lest night,” was the reply. “Last night! Why, that’s twelve hours ago. I want a count and a report hourly.” Some of the Shermaa letters referred to, relate, it is sald, to that campaign, and show that Mr. Sherman was in close com- munication with those in charge of his in- terests, and knew all about their principal movements in his behalf. Embarrassment to McKinley. But the principal thing at last about Mr. Sherman’s disclosures is thought to be the embarrassment that must come to Gov. McKinley, It was con‘dently expect- ed that Mr. Sherman would go to the next national convention at the head of the Ohio delegation, and put the governor in nomination. His eminence, his experience, the interesting figure he would present in withdrawing thus in favor of his. protege, all were relied on to advance McKinley's cause. But could he be effective in that place now? Could he do more than simply make the nominating speech? Could he drum successfully, or at all, for votes? Would leaders from other states negotiate with him? On the other hand, his absence would ex- cite remark. It would appear strange for Ohio to be asking for the nomination through anyhbory else. The reason would have to be given, and that would bring up the Garfield matter in its most dis- couraging form for the buckeyes. So that, come black or white, Ohio is thought to stand to lose by the Sherman book next —— Hotel Arrivals, National—Jos. Parker, Baltimore; F. A. Haas, Buffalo; B. W. Greenburg, Philadel- phia; R. W.

THE BATTLE SHIP MAINE She is Now Said to Be Structurally De- fective in Many Respects. Some of the Serious Defects Enum- ernted—The Cause Said to Be Blunders in Design. The battle ship Maine, which has just been put in commission at the New York navy yard, is said to be structurally de- fective. Many of her predecessors in the new navy were similarly criticised upon their entry into the service. Practical experience with these vessels, with one ex- ception, has sinée effectually’ disproved the grave charfes aga'nst them, and the naval authorities are confident that the charges against the Maine will be similarly exploded. Alleged Blunders tn Design According to an unofficial report, coming from New York, it has just been discov- ered that serious defects exist in the Maine, as the result of inexcusable blun- ders in her design. It is alleged that the vessel draws three feet more water for- ward than she does aft, and that she lists considerably to starboard; that is, the right- hand side of the vessel looking forward sinks deeper than the left-hand side. Her critics say thut being now ready for sea, and having taken aboard her full coal sup- ply of $00 tons and her complete outfit of men, stores and ammunition, she should float symmetrically if she was properly de- signed. They assert that ner defective flotation Ines must be due to radical and permanent causes, and not to a mere tem- porary misplacing 5f weights. Some Defects Admitted. It is admitted, however, that while the alleged depress‘on of the vessel's bows is a serious matter, as indica:ing grave er- rors of calculation, it need not detract per- manently from her general efficiency. On first leaving port, with ail her stores and coal, she will be wet forward in a moderate seaway, and will doubtless be somewhat retarded in speed, but as soon as coal has been used out cf her forward bunkers to the amourt of about one hundred tons, her bow and stern will probably ye about the same draught. The alleged list to starboard is a more sericus defect. When all the vessel's inter- nal weights have heen stowed systemat- ically, if the ship has a list to starboard, one side must have been buiit on different lines from those of the other s:de—a con- dition that would affect her stability and her value as a gun plaiform. Designs by Constructor Wilson. The Maine was buiit at the New York navy yard, from lesigns prepared by Naval Constructor Wilson. Her principal dimensions are: Length over all, “24 feet 4% inches; length of load water line, 318 feet 3 inches; extreme beam, 57 feet; mean draught, feet 6 inches; displacement, 6,682 tons; speed, 17 knois. She has eight steel horizongal boilers; vertical inverted eylifder, direct acting triple expansion twin screw engines of 9,000 indicated horse power. She carries toas of coal, with which she can steam 2, knots at 14.8 knots an hour, or 7,000 knots at 10 knots an hour. She has a double bottom and nu- merous water-tight compartments. Her armor consists of a side armor belt, twelve inches thick. Four ten-inch rifles, en barbette in turrets, constitute her main battery, and six six-inch 2s on the bat- tery deck form the auxiliary battery. Four six-pounder, eight three-pounder and two one-pounder rapid fire guns, four revolving cannon and four i e up the secondary battery. armored tops on each of the two mas What Constructor Hichborn Says. Officials at the Navy Department are reti- cent in regard to the Maine. Those ap- proached say that they could not talk on the subje in the absence of of- ficial informatn. There is nothing on record at the d&artment to indicate that the vessel is structurally defective. i structor Hichborn says he is satisfied that the Maine is all right and that she will show proper trim when fully equipped with men, stores and ammunition. The alleged forward dip of the vessel, he says, will dis- appear when the two torpedo boats are placed in position aft. They weigh thirty tons and will undoubtedly overcome tie ap- parent overweight forward. oo Officers’ Chosen, At the meeting of Perseverance Lodge of Good Templars, Saturday eyering. a num- ber of new members were elected, and offi- cers for the ensuing term were chosen as follows: N. E. Vowles, chief templar; Mrs. Kittie Hallenbeck, vice templar; Thomas W. Piper, seerstary; Miss Kate Swearingen financial secretary; Mrs. J. C. Rowland, treasurer; Mrs. Elizabeth Bryson, superin: tendent juyenile templars; Mr. J. T Clem- ents, marshal. Past Grand Chief Teniplar A. _H. Frear, Chief Templar-slect Vowles and Edzar Hallenbeck were appointed a committee to represent the lodge on the general committee having in charge ar- rangements for celebrating the thirtieth an- niversary of the introduction of the order 4a the District. At the close of the busi- ness seasion the lodge was addressed by Mrs. Mattie McClellan Brown” upon the character and scope of the order. Mrs. E. F. Chambers and Mr. N. E. Vowles also briefly addressed the lodge, and Mr. Fred | MeIntire delivered a recitation. THE RAM KATAHDIN Arrangements All Completed for Her Official Sp2ed Trial Tomorrow. The Pioneer of Her Class—Expected That She Will More Than Fulfill Her Contract Requircments. Arrangements are complete for the offi- clal trial of the ram Katahdin over the New London course tomorrow. She is required to maintain a speed of at least seventeen Knots for two consecutive hours. Other- wise, she will be rejected. A premium of mum speed requirement, Pioneer of Her Clans. The Katahdin is the first war v. constructed exclusively for ramming, and is therefore, properly referred to as “the pio- ne-r of her class.” The American navy h taken the lead’ in this respect. Judging from the results of private uials on the coast of Maine, the Katahdin will meet her contract szeed requirements. If her other periormances are equally as successful, it is likely that provision will be made by this government, as well as others, for more vessels of this novel type. The Katahdin was built by the Bath iron works of Bath, Me. The contract price was $930,000. The or:g‘nal plans have undergone several al- terations, and the vessel is eight feet longer than the original design. Her measure- ments are: Length, 25w feet and 9 inches; breadth, 43 feet and 5 inches; mean draught 15 feet, and displacement, tons. The additional length has g.ven more berthing room for the crew and increased space for coal. A Tartle-Backed Craft. The Katahdin is a turtle-backed craft having moderate armer protection. She is driven by twin screws, and her engines are of the vertical tr: expansion type, de- signed for an indicated maximum horse- Power of 4,400. The ram is designed, when Ireparing for engagemeni, to become partly submergei. This result is to be obtained by the admission of water into watertight compartments. The bracket and longitadinal system is used in the hull, with an inner bulkhead at the stern. The longitudinals and girders supporting the deck are continuous, con- verging to the stem casting and to the stern, the frames and beams be!n,z intercos- tal. There are six transverse watertight ccmpartments, which are d?vided longitudi- rally by watertight frames. By this means the space between the inner and the outer skin is divided into seventy-two compart- ments. Interlor Compartments. The transverse and the longitudinal bulk- heads between the inner skin und the deck armor divide this space into thirty divis- fons, making a total of 102 compartments in the vessel. Above the rounding deck only the conning tower, with 18-inch armor, the smokepipe,. the ventilators and the skid beams for the boats will show. As a me: f defense against torpedo boats, the Ka- din will carry four 6-pounder rapid-fire i She would probably suffer but ve little during an engagement, for she offers but a small target, being neariy all under water, while the part expusel is so shaped that the square Impact of a shot is almost impossible. Rear Admiral Daniel Ammen, the de- signer of the Katahdin, claims that four or six such vessels could protect our whole Atlantic coast against the invasion of a foreign fleet. Going at a speed of seventeen knots, the Katahdin will strike a blow of 400,000 foot tons, a force undoubtedly capa- ble of sending any war vessel that floats to the bottom, the biow being struck, as it will be, below the water line. A naval au- thority of Great Britain has stated that in all the instances of ramming the offensive vessel has suffered as much as the vessel struck in seven cases out of ten. But this as resulted from the fact that the vessels | ramming were not constructed for the sole purpose of ramming, and sv were illy fitted tor the shock.

FOUND UNDER A BED Connecting the Prisoner With Many Recent Burglaries. HELD FOR GRAND JURY The arrest Saturday morning of the young colored man, John Adams, in the room of Frank B. Queen in the house of Mr. Newton H. Bowman, No. 629 E street northwest, where he was found beneath the bed, as published in Saturday’s Star, proved to be of considerable importance in police circles, as his arrest has already explained a number of robberies. As printed in Sat- urday’s Star, the prisoner was found under Mr. Que2n’s bed, where he had secreted himself early in the evening, for the pur- pose of making a good haul later in the night. Policeman Kimmell, who arrested him, put him through a searching examination, but the prisoner did not say one word in the nature of a confession. He denied everything, although at one time he prom- ised that he would tell of his conduct while in this city. But when the time for him to do the talking came, he changed his mind, and then he was returned to the cell. Wanted a Lawyer. = Officer Kimmell informed the well-dressed prisoner that his situation was a serious one, and asked him if he did not want a lawyer. Adams, as he gives his name, said he did, and inquired how much money he needed. The officer told him that he would probably need $25 at least, but this amount Adams thought he would not get. “If I could see Major Howell,” sald the rrisoner, might raise the money.” nity ne #8 Major Howell?” the officer asked im, “He's a waiter at the Ebbitt House.” ‘This was clue enough for the officer, and he went to headquarters and informed De- tectives Horne and Weedon of what he had said. The detectives went to the hotel and learned that Howell had only been em- ployed there temporarily. After some little difficulty they located Howell at Mrs. Reed's house, No. 624 Massachusetts ave- hue, where he and Adams had a room to- gether. Property Recovered. When the officers reached the room they were Informed that Howell had just left, and while waiting for him to return the officers searched Adams’ effects and recovered prop- erty which will be used in evidence in a num- ber of cases of robbery. Not only did they recover this property, but they also found persons to identify the prisoner and place him in places where the robberies were com- mitted. * Among the prisoner's effects were found three watches, a pocketbook, a small amount of money and other articles. There was a photograph of the prisoner in the room. This was taken when he wore his best suit of clothes and a watch and chain. The watch chain was the most conspicuous fea- ture of the photograph, and when Charles T. Hubbs, one of his alleged victims, saw this he remarked: “Why, that’s my chain. This watch and chain hag been stolen from the Keystone Hotel, where Mr. Hubbs boarded. In the pocketbook, which was the property of Mr. C, H. Chapman, there were a $3 gold Piece and two $1 bills, all that was left of the $127 stolen. It turned out that Adams had been em- ployed as a walter at the Temple Hotel, and Mr. Markland, the proprietor, had been rob- bed of a watch. This theft had been com- mitted at the Vatoldi Hotel, where Mr. Markland was visiting h'!s mother-in-law, who owns the hotel. Denicd His Face. When the officers returned to the station and spoke to the prisoner about his picture he denied that the photograph was a likeness of himself, and said: “‘That’s my partner's picture.” During the investigation the officers found that he had been going to houses in the “Di- vision” and there he had given some of the females copies of his p®otograph, showing his Sunday clothes and the gold chain. Th‘s morning he was arraigned in Judge Miller's court on three charges of burglary. In the case at the house of Mr. Bowman he plead guilty, while in the other cases Le said “not guilty.” Mr. Hubbs appeared on the stand and identified pocketbook and the gold piece, while Mr. Z. Fenno and Mr. Markland iden- tified their watches. Mr. Queen told of his experience with the prisoner in his room.

As early as 6 o'clock last evening crowds began to gather in front of the First Pres- byterian Church in anticipation of ob- taining an entrance and of hearing the first sermon of Rev. Dr. Talmage as co- pastor of the church. Before the services commenced the sidewalk and street were effectually blocked with the surging mass and Capt. Austin and his squad of police- men had all they could do to prevent undue crowding. A majority of those seeking ad- mission were women,and two or three were unable to stand the strain and were helped away by the police. With it all, however, the crowd was an orderly one, and there was comparatively little confusion. Only a small part of the multitude gained en- trance to the church. Dr. Talmage was alone in the pulpit, Dr. Sunderland and Mr. Allen occupying seats in the audience. His text was selected from the twelfth chapter of Hebrews, first verse: “Seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,” and his subject was “All Heaven Looking On.” At his outset, he said: “In this, my opening sermon in the national capital, [ sive you heartiest Christian salutation. I bethink myself of the privilege of stand- ing in this historic church so long presided over by one of the most remarkable men of the century. There are plenty of good ministers beside Dr. Sunderland, but I do not know of any man except himself with enough brain to have stocd successfully and triumphantly forty-three years in this con- spicuous pulpit. Long distant be the year when that Gospel chieftain shall put down the silver trumpet with which he has mar- shaled the hosts of Israel, or sheath the sword with which he has struck such mighty blows for God and righteousness. I come to you with the same Gospel that he has preached and to join you in all kinds ef work for making the world better, and I hope to see you all in your own homes and have you all come and see me, but don’t all come at once; and without any preliminary discourses as to what I pro- pose to do, I begin here and now to cheer you with the thought that all heaven is sympathetically looking on. ‘Seeing we eiso are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses.’ ” The closest attention was given the speaker. He said he came to the church to be one of the congregation, and to visit the homes, and expected the mebers to visit him. He had no new gcspel to preach, bringing only the same message that had so faithfully been proclaimed for forty- three years to the congregation by Dr. Sunderland. - FINANCIAL.

Surplus Object Lesson,No.5 No branch of the business of this Trust Company bas met with a greater degree of appreciation than its storage branch. This Company some years ago built what It then thought was a building sufficient for its needs for all the time, yet the growth of its Storage business has made {t necessary to greatly enlarge the builjing, ond it has today what is probably the largest and best equipped storage building in Washington, and probably equal to any in America. It 1s fire- proof, and fitted with burglar-proof vaults for the storage of silverware, bric-a-brac, costly paintings, art goods, ete. It has sep- arate storage rooms and almost unlimited storage floor space. During the past spring it added a “Cold Storage” plant, for the storage of furs, woolens and other fabrics, which fs today the only recognized method of guarding these articles against maths and other vermin, This Company, in addition to affording unsurpassed storage facilities, has “expert packers and shippers, and will pack rnd ship household goods anywhere in the world where there are transportation fa- cilities. It will also remove your house- hold goods from one house to another in this city, and guarantee you against breakage, &e. AMERICAN SECURITY & TRUST CO., 1405 G ST. Storage Building, 1140 15th St. A.
