The ship would be a.dungerous commerce déstroyer. ‘She would carry ten 6-inch rapid-firing rifles, a vowerful secondary battery, and she could overtake anything afloat in the merchant service except. the .Campania and Lucania of the Cunard line. Mr. Fernald visited every part of the ship, from the .bridge to the lowermost depths of the hold. When he came ashore he said in response to ques- tions: nally for structural strength, the engine- rooms, steering' gear, anchor gear and foundations for guns. She is capable of carrying ten'six-inch rifled cannon and a corresponding -secondary battery. Her need, of course, is more than twenty knots, required by statute.

THE ANTICS OF A MANIKC, Without Attire- an .Unfor- tunate Domestic Runs a Lively Amuck. Then There Is a Fierce Battle and the Lunatic !s Finally Captured. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 2.—The resi- dents of “fashionable North Broad street; | Elizabeth, were awakeried from. their slumbers éarly this moriing by the wild oufing of a’ woman. Men and women d to the windows of their roomsto ras happéning. A woman at- in .natire’s garb was rushing back and forth through the streets shout- ing, ‘““Tommy- CI : Tommy Clark! Help, Lelp! Mr. Richards! Mr. Richards!” - Those that-continued to gaze from their windows saw, a moment latef, a man in negligee emerge from eholder G. M. Morrell’s residence and run over to Law- | ver Frank Bergen's house.: A clanging of gongs foilowed as the alarm for police was sounded. rybody in the neighborhood thought burglars were around and several of the men hunted up their revolvers ready | to shoot; But they soon learned that all the excitement was caused by Della Clark, a domestic in Fresholder Morrell'semploy. Della had awakened at 4 o’clock, leaped from her bed and rushed from the house. For an honr she wandered around the lawn, frequently dropping upon her knees and Rissing the zrass fervently. Then she took off her night dress and ran out into the street. After running through the street'she met Mary O’Brien, another do- mestic employed by W. L. Hoffacker. Running up to the- O'Brien girl, Della Clark grabbed Her by the hair and began to pull. Two men tried to break her hold { on the hair, but failed; and Mary’s hair was cut’off with a pair of scissors. Triumphantly waving the burich of hair in her hand, Bella Clark sprang over the fence into the lJawn surrounding the resi- dence -of. General Superintendent.J. H. Othause of the.New Jersey Ceatral Rail- road. She ran around to the kitchen door, but failed to get in. Calling upon St. Peter and St. Patrick to protect her, she ran back "into the stréet and threw herself upon the rails directlyin front of an aporoaching trolley-car. Thomas Fox and Thomas Sheridan, wud had heard the call .for po- lice, arrived on the scene just-in time to save the woman’s life. * They pulled her off the track and finally per- thrrown from a2 window. Then she walged down toward. police headquarters. After walking a block the woman began to fight the young men and bit them on the hands. They finally got her into an express wagon and took-her to the lockup. There is no matron -at polige headquar- ters and the half-naked woman remained in the cell for several hours, until her mis- tress visited. her, taking along a dress, which Della was induced to put on. Della Ciark was pronounced crazy this afternoon and removed to the asylum at Morris' Plains. She is insane upon re- ligion, and imagines she is in purgatory. Srmseam g TRYING TO REMOVE WHITE. . 4.

FAVOR FREE COINAGE. Resolutions -Dissenting From the Policy of the Ad- ministration. EX-GOVERNOR ADAMS TALKS. Says the Real Bimetallic Party Will Be Victorious in Next Year’s S Battle. DENVER, Coro., July 2.—The Demo- cratic State Convention met here this morning to consider the financial issue. General Samuel Browne presided. National Committeeman Thomas, the last Demo- . cratic candidate for Governor, sent a letter counseling moderation, urging the conven- tion not to- follow the Illinois Democracy by censuring the administration, but to simply declare for free silver. Committees were appointed and the convention then adjourned until afternoon. Thée convention reassembled shortly after 2 o'clock with a small attendance. Reso- iutions were adopted dissenting from the financial policy of the present administr tion, opposing the issuing of interest-bear- ‘ing bonds in times of peace and'indorsing the dction of the Democrats of Illinois in calling for a National Democratic conven- tion for the purpose of placing the party upon its historic platform of sound money, consisting’of, gold and silver coinage, the money of the constitution. Directly after -the presentation of the resolutions ex-Governor Adams, who was present as a, spectator, was called upon to address the convention. He did so and made a stirring speech, in which he de- ciared that the only hope for free silver lay in the Democratic party, that all signs of the times point out the fact that the two candidates for President at the election to be Leld next year would be a gold Repub- can and silver Democrat and the people would choose between them. Governor Adams said that he had just returned from the South, had been in Memphis during the recent convention, and no matter what the Federal office- holders might say, no matter what the bankers of the South might declare, the people of that-section of the country were almost to a man in favor of free silver. But they were also Democrats, and they saw no good reason for traveling out of the party and makinga fight under the ban- tierof any Populist or alleged free silver ization. He had no doubt that the National Democracy, the real bimetallic party, would declare in favor of silver and would be victorious in 1896. The mild manner in which the adminis- tration was treated, in fact the entire ab- sence of the mention of Cleveland or Car-- lisle is regarded as significant, considering the loudly expressed determination of many leaders in the present gathering to denounce the Federal Government in good set terms. The convention adjourned sine die at 5 P M. ARMIORFOR BHTILESHPS Disagreement Over the Plans . of Naval Constructor - : Hichborn. It Remains for Secretary Herbert to * Say How the New War Vessels Are to'Be Built. WASHINGTON, D. -C., July 2—Naval Constructor Hichborn has made plans for three new battle-ships authorized by the | last Congress, and as they. are designed radically different from existing battle- ships naval officers are very much 1n- terested, and Secretary Herbert has de- voted much personal attention to Con- structor Hichborn’s reforms. On_ two points the designs agree, fi*st as to speed, being for 16-knot shifis, and second as to size, for they will be ships of 11,500 tons, larger than any ship in our navy, even the big -battle-ship Towa. This great size is made necessary by the heavy armament and thick armor the ships are to carry. When it comes to ‘armor there is one difference in the two designs that seems to be of little importance, but is really vital. The width of armor belt is the same in each case, seven feet and six inches, but while the bureau chiefs propose to raise this so high that it will be but three feet and six inches under the water line at its lowest edge, the constructors propose to lower the belt a foot, fearing that when the shipsroll in a swell they would expose ‘their vitals to the fire of 'an enemy and would easily let in an explosive shell be- low the protective deck with fatal results. The height of belt would also affect the stability of a ship in a considerable measure. But the features of the new ships which has caused most discussion is the proposed double-storied turrets. The constructors suggested the following battery: Four 12- inch rifles mounted in two turrets, eight 8-inch guns mounted in four turrets and sixteen 5-inch guns. The bureau chiefs, however, decided that they would have a main battery, to consist of 13-inch guns, four being mounted in two turtets, and on top of these main turrets and revolvin with them were to be places smaller turrets carrying four of the 8-inch guns, leaving four other guns of that caliber to be placed in two side turrets. The constructors held that this arrangement would deprive the ship of the power of distriouting the fire of the reat guns, which argument was replied to y the bureau chiefs with a statement that the tendency of modern-time fighting is to heavy concentration of fire upon the enemy, and that double turrets would re- duce the amount: of heavy machinery necessary to handle turrets by just one-half. The constructors also con- tended that enormous concentra- tion of weight in two- small areas of a ship by double turrets would make them unsafe, and was opposed to the best modern practice, and it was said that the pressure of these heavy turrets upon a ahlg’s bottom would exceed per square foot the weight of the Washington monument upon the ground beneath. gE‘l’m plans, however, have been prepared to meet this difficulty, and it now remains for Secretary Herbert to say, after hearing from the officers whom he has addressed to advise with him, whether the ships irilnll be built upon conservative or radical nes. ——— 4 OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.

But Mr. Meade Now Charges Un- truthfulnéss as Well as Discour- tesy Against the Skipper. WASHINGTON, D. C., july 2.—Com- mander Ide of the United States steamer " Alert, recently detached from the com- mand of that vessel (as announced ex- clusively in the CAxL), arrived in Washing- ton and called on Secretary Herbert to-day. Assistant Secretary McAdoo sub- stantiales everything that Admiral Meade charged against Commander Ide. It was alleged that Ide greeted McAdoo vegy cor- dially at the hotel at Panama, but ignored Admiral Meade, and “for this mute cour- tesy” Admiral Meade had him bounced summarily from the command of the Alert and ordered home in disgrace. Naval officers stationed hére are inclined to sympathize with Commander Ide. They claim that Admiral Meade is crochety and captioud bv reason of ill health, and that his ‘irritability was the cause of the trouble between fighting Bob Evans and himself and was responsible for his criticism of the President and Sec- retary Herbert. v 2 It isnot believed that Commander Ide will be further punished unless he is indis- creet enough to talk about his case. He feels very bitter toward Admiral Meade. At first he was inclined to request’court- martia) inquiry, but as Assistant Secretary McAdoo was the only witness present at the hotel at Panama, he may not insist on a court of inquiry. He claims that he sa- lated Admiral Meade properly, and the latter says he did not, and in addition to the charge of discourtesy allegesuntruth- | fulnes on 1de’s part. Secretary Herbert declines to talk about the matter. The Alert is now under com- mand of Lieutenant Coffin, pending the arrival of her new commander, Hanford. R g e EVICTION OF SETTLERS. Tney Are Being Removed From Reserva- tion Lands. g EMERSON, Nepr., July 2—The eviction of settlers from the reservation has com- menced in earnest. Seventy-five Indian Kolice are now on duty, and fifty more will e sworn in to-morrow. Peter Goettiche, Ernest Enke, John Beesner and a man by the name of Langmacke were removed to-day near this city. Goettiche’s house- hold goods and farm machinery were carried off and set in the road. Langmacke had 200 head of cattle driven off the reser- vation and his effects were carried off as well. Two secret meetings have been held in this town, but none-except settlers were allowed in the hall. The outcome of one of them was the choosing of twenty dele- gates to wait on Captain Beck, but no con- clusion was arrived at. The settlers are willing to lease the land direct from the Indian agent under Government regula- tions, but when any of the settlers go there to lease the land, they are generally told the land has been leased to other parties. R To Promote Temperance. CHICAGO, Irn., July 2.— An active movement is under way in this city look- ing to the foration of a new organization for the promotion of the cause of temper- ance, to be known as the National Tem- perance Union. The promoters include many who have attained prominence in the field of gehilanthmfiy and reform, among them being Dr. H. W. Thomas of the People’s Church, and Rev. W. D. Clark of the Society for the Prevention of Crime. The new society takes the ground that the Women’s Christian Temperance Union has outlived its usefulness, and that the work should now be taken up by a non- sectarian organization devoted to more practical lines of work. . SIS by Sentenced in Short Order. ARAPAHOE, Nesr.,, July 2.— Oscar Silverman, claiming to represent the wholesale liquor-house of H. J. Gehner & Co. of 8t.

SUCCESS OF HIS TASK. In His - Delicate Negotiations He Maintains Japan’s Good Will. fiONOBS PAID THE AMER.ICAN. Additional Detalls of the Destruc- tlon of Mission' Property by the Chinese. VANCOUVER, B. C.,July 2,—The steamer Empress of China arrived: from the. Orient this afternoon. Hon. John Foster, ex-Secretary of ‘State, and 'China’s agent in the peace negotiations at Shimo- noseki, was among the ‘passenger: Mr. Foster left by to-day's train for Washing- ton. He declined to be interviewed in re- gard to.his mission, éxcept to state that it was successfully eoncluded. N The Empress of China also brought the following letter from the Tokio cotre- spondent of The United Press? AT TOKIO, Jarax, June : The Hom. J. Foster paid a flying visit to Japan on.his way home from the scene of "his labors. He saw the Chinese through all- their troubles. Hearing that the distinguistied statesman would pass.via -Japan to. the. States, the Japanese at once began- to think how they ought to receive -him: That he had served China counted for nothing in their eyes. They saw in. him only a great publicist who had labored in the cause of peace and whose gnidance and counsels had -materially promioted- its at-’ tainment. . e e Any official movement .was, of course, | out of the question,-but thé: leading citi zens of Tokio resoived to-invite him.to:a great banquet in the name of the city. Un- fortunately, the extreme’ brevity of Mr. Foster's sojourn in Japan .made it impos- sible to carry out this programme and it became necessary to limit the programme to a comparatively small semi-official din: ner and the presentation of an address. The dinner was given on June 19, at the beautiful residence of Mr. Okura, one of | the leading merchants of Tokio, with whom | were associated as hosts Mr. Shibusawa, ! president of the Tokio Chamber of Com- merce, Mr. Yokoyama, several Ministers |- of State, the great majority of the Japan- ese officials who had taken leading parts | in the Shimonoseki conference and the TUuited States representative, probably the most popular man in Japan. Mr. Shibusawa’s speech in proposing the health of Mr. Foster was a genuine reflec- tion of sentiments long entertained by Japan toward the people of the United States — sentiments that have been strengthened and deepened by the attitude |- of the great Republic throughout the re- cent war. ' Mr. Foster, whose quiet and unassuming | manner of speech Weére thoroughly ¢har- acteristic, revlied in substance ‘as follows: That when he received an invitation |- from the Chinese Government to assist in restoring peace’ his first thought was ‘whether by accepting such a mission he shouls peril the close relations that ex- isted between him.and his Japanese friends. He theérefore sought the advice of the Japanese. Ministér at Washirigton, who-as- sured him that any services-in the cause of peace would be welcomed rather than resented. by the Japanese. ‘He briefly re- viewed the history of Japan’'s advance among the nations, and referred to .the peace negotiations at Shimonoseki as an evidence of the high civilization attained by her. He found that no advice was needed in reference to her commerce, her industries, or her finances, that she only required to -follow the . paths she had hitherto trodden to attain her full growth, and concluded by an expression of thanks for the sentiments and hearty, friendship expressed toward his country. The following morning a -deputation of the leading merchants and manufacturers of Tokio waited upon Mr. Foster and pre- inscribed - on the richest Japanese paper and a pair of very handsome vases of cloisonne enamel. The whole incident has left a most favor- able. impression, not merely as showing the perfect tact that Mr. Foster must have exercised thronghout a period of difficult and complicated negotiations, but also as proving that the Japanese can distinguish and appreciate sérvices rendered in the highest interest of humanity, even though an enemy’s benefit may be the immediate object of their performance. There has been much in the talk in the East about Japan's supposed failure to in- augurate a system of reform in Korea, but Japan has not failed. Count Inouye went to Korea in October, and returned to Japan His record, according to a com- petent English observer who has just vis- ited the peninsula, is this: “Having or- ganized the Ministries, his first task as an administrator anxious to bring the coun- try into order was to divide the eight provinces into eighteen prefectures. He has created a complete police force, and formed the nucleus of an army. He caused the streets to be widened. and made them more convenient. He re- organized the prisons and.-founded at Seoul a university from whick will come the future officials of the kingdom. These re- forms, although touching-the inner life of the people, have not been resented. Ex- ternally, at least, they have been- readily carried out. The Koreans regard the Japanese as a new master, .but a master from whom they have expectations.” In addition to this record it ‘must be noted that the Japanése have completely subdued the Tonghak insurrection and put an end to the' terrible devastations of in- surgents who raided whole provin®es. Yet there is one emphatically disquieting ele- ment in the peninsula. Japanese that know Korea say that there are only two really clever people there, the Queen: and Mme. Weber, wife of the Russian repre- sentative. Mme. Weber has free access to the Queen’s presence and awails herself of -|-conterts in their folds There areseveral | jury: : | Ware, danghter of Chauncey ‘Lamb, the Methodist Mission under the presidency of [ Dr. Virgin Hart; one to the China Inland Mission and two others, while the Mis- sions Etrangeres -have beer ‘established there for 150 years and ‘number 30,000 ladies among the missionaries at Chengtu and. the missions of thre French espee- ially had' a large amount of preperty which it will cost vast sums to replace-as far as replacemient vossible.
