I THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1895. LAUNCH OF GUNBOATS WILMINGTON AND NASH- VILLE GLIDED FROM THE WAYS, A GREAT NAVAL EVENT. FIRST INSTANCE ON RECORD OAF A DOUBLE BABTISM OF WARSHIPS. NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON. aT Ul CRAFT IN NAVIGAT w WAT G S PORT NEWS, Va., Oct. 19.—The nch of the gunboats and Wilmington to-day was made the occa- sion of an unusual naval demonstration, s OF THE NEw | be launched next week, and these vessels, drawing only nine feet of water, are apt to prove the most useful steamers owned by the United States. They are designed for river service, more for utility in protecting American property end citizens up the Yangtse Kiang above the points now | reacked by armed vessels, than tor possi- | ble auxiliaries to land forces in times of | riot on the Mississippi and its tributaries, but for sthe latter purpose they could | always be available. The Nashville, while of slightly greater displacement and depth, | can enter all the shallow southern ports, | and in times of such trouble as that of last | | year at Bluefields, when the American | men-of-war were compeiled to anchor in | the open roadstead, they could go right | into the harbor and command the town with their guns. These vessels are probably the I their size that the United States will unsheathed with wood, Congress baving | stipulated throngh an inadvertence that | they should be “steel gunboats,” which led to an opinion from the Attorney-General | at the time that they must be constructed | | wholly of steel. The keels were laid the | | latter part of last year by the Newport ! News Ship-building Company, under con- | | tract to complete the vessels by January | 26, next year, at a cost of $289,000 each. The Nashville must maintain fourteen | knots per hour, with a premium or penalty | of $20,000 a knot above or below that fig- | ure. If below thirteen knots the ship will be rejected. The other two vessels are to | have a maximum speed of thirteen knots. The hull and general arrangements of the Nashville were designed by Chief ) aval | mounted in the open on the main deck, two being placed forward and two aft, in pairs, on opposite sides of the ship; four 4-inch guns in armored sponsons on the gundeck, two on each broadside amid- ships; four 6-pounder Hotchkiss guns, two forward and two aft, in l-inch armored spounsons on the gundeck. Two 1-pounder Hotchkiss and two Gatling guns will be carried on the main deck. She also carries a Whitehead torpedo outfit. The essential novel feature of the Nash- ville is her machinery, designed under the direction of Chief Engineer Melville of the navy. The crait will be propelled by twin screws, and the motive power will consist of two sets of vertical inverted quadruple expansion engines, having cylinder di- ameters of 11, 17, 24 and 34 inches respec- tively, with a stroke of 18 inches. The low-pressure cylinders are placed forward of the other cylinders and so arranged that they can be disconnected when it is not desired to run the engines at full power. The remaining cylinders will run as triple-expansion engines. This result is nccomplished by having two sets of boilers — four tubulous boilers carrying 250 pounds pressure and two cylindrical (shell) boilers carrying 160 pounds. When the engines are working at full power all the boilers will be used; but the coil boil- ers will supply steam directly to the high- pressure cylinders, while the shell boilers will deliver their steam to the first inter- mediate cylinders—or the first receiver— where it will be met by the high-pressure exhaust at 160 pounds pressure.

He went to Washington on the fish- .| eries commission years ago with precisely the same notion in his mind, but happened to get married instead. Now another and better opportunity offers, and he will get as much advertising out of us as the rest of the Cabinet allow him. Under ordi- nary circumstances Salisbury’s strong na- tive indisposition to fall out with the United States would effectually neutralize this, but he is furiously driven with other and more pressing work, and Chamberlain therefore has more of afree hand. Noone imagines, however, that a serious misan- derstanding can possibly be permitted to arise. Fortunately everybody has learned to discount the German Kaiser's wild words when he gets his reckless on, otherwise there might be awarm dizplay of feeling in France over his speech yesterday on the battlefield of Woerth. The fact that the occasion was the unveiling of an equestrian statue of his father, reared on the spot. where he came nearest to winning a place in history as a soldier, gave to William a pretext for the elaborate military pageant so dear to his heart. He remained on borseback all the while and delivered his speech from the sadale with a drawn sword in hand. Although it has been said often before in every possible varying form or wor'ds, he deemed it important to shout again, with more exuberant emphasis than ever, that the Germans lifted their eyes to heaven and swore again: *So help them God, and their German sword,” never to let a foot of Alsacian-Lorraine territory go. The official Berlin papers repeat these phrases with perfunctory rhetoric in their leaders, but the more popular journals have marked the ill-starred Frederick’s birthday by significantly reprinting all the eulogies of peaceand liberty with which the late Emperor’s speeches and writings abound, HaroLp FREDERIC. | | committee, is expected in the city either | Republicans organizing the next Senate | | as there Is a difference of opinion among GOSSIPFROM GOTHAM REPUBLICAN COMMITTEEMEN GATHERING FOR THE MEETING. IN POLITICS. WOMEN QUESTIONS DEBATED BY THE WEST SIDE AUXILIARY VERY INTERESTING. COMING VANDERBILT WEDDING. MosT ELABORATE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE GREAT SOCIETY EVENT OF THE YEAR. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 19.—The mem- bers of the Republican National Commit- tee are slowly coming into the city, and within a few days Chairman Thomas H. Carter of Montana will 1ssue a call for the committee to meet in Washingion. A number of the members are already in the city, among them Clarkson, W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts, Richard C. Krons of Missouri and W. M. Habn of Ohio. Joseph Manley, chairman of the executive to-day or to-morrow. Senator Quay, so it is said, will arrive to-morrow, as well as G. A. Hobert of New Jersey. The object of calling the wommittee together is to con- sider the selection of a place and a date for nolding the Republican National Conven- tion, and the more immediate question of wi.l be discussed. This question of organizing the Senate will doubtless lead to a warm discussion, the Republican leaders as to the advisabil- ity of organizing the Senate. Senator Redfield Froctor has declared himself in favor of the Republicans organizing the Senate with the aid of the Populists, On the other hand, recently Senator Sherman of Ohio expressed himself as againstany attempt on the part of the Republicans to organize the Senate, unless it is witha clear Republican majority. When Chair- man Carter, who is also Senator from Mon- tana, was asked for an opinion concerning the organization of the Senate he ex- pressed himself in favor of the view taken by Senator Sherman. Upon the question of a late convention and a short but aggressive campaign an- other field for argument is presented and a marked difference of opinion is manifest. Clarkson is in favor of a long campaign, and Manley is also credited with wishing for such a course to be followed. On the other hand, Krons, Senator Elkins and others have declared themselves emphati- cally against a long campaign. Clarkson’s reasons for wanting an early convention and a long campaign are based upon the theory that an educational canvass prom- ises best for the Republican party. He thinks that a literary campaign is always best, and that a widespread scattering of campaign literature is essential to Republi- can success. He does not care where or when the National committee meets, but does want an early convention and a long campaign. Krons saysthat along canvass acts likea drag on business; that it keeps the country in astate of feverish unrest and business interests in such an uncertain condition that 1t affects the prosperity oi the country. Then, too, it is a strain upon the people, the campaign managers and everybody else. It keeps public sentiment change- able. One dayit flares up, then dies down, and so gets hot and cold by turns. ‘With the difference of opinion rife upon these two points, the coming conference of the National Committeemen will be of es- pecial interest. *‘Is Woman a Force in Politics ?” was the auestion which an unusually large gather- ing of the West Side Woman’s Auxiliary debated yesterday. Mrs. Dr. Gunn carried off the honors as far as sensation went, for afterthe paper on the prescribed subject she rose and said: *I don’t think women are going to do so much good as they think in politics if they allow themselyes to get into the old ruts and stick to the old methods of ‘man volitics.” Woman's clnbs are entirely too much inclined to degenerate into mutual admiration societies. As a rule I don’t find that women are much betrer than men, and they do not make half as good politicians. They are much more partisan than men and more influenced by their sentiments. Ido not think women will make good active politicians. Influence is a good thing where it can be used, but from being an ardent suffragist I have come to believe that the suffrage for woman would be a great mistake. I seem to have the faculty of always exploding a bomb here, and I don’t know but I had better resign,” Dr. Gunn ended, ruefully, as she saw the dissenting expression on many faces. The forthcoming engagement of Henry Irving, Miss Ellen Terry and the London Lyceum Theater Company at Abbey’s Theater is looked forward to with pleasure by the theater-goers of this city. Irving will begin his season at Abbey’s Theater a week from next Tuesday evening, October 19. “Macbeth” will be given, with all the elaborate and careful attention to detail which marked its revival at the London Lyceum Theater December 29, 1888. The following is a list of the principal members of the organization: Henry Irving, Miss Ellen Terry, Miss Julia Arthur, Miss Mary Rorke, Miss Maud Milton, Miss Brenda Gibson, Miss Alice Denvil, Miss May Whitty, Miss Mary Foster, Miss E. de Silva, Miss Alisa Craig, Frank Cooper, H. H. Howe, F.H. Macklin, Benjamin Web- ster, 8.

The Port Jervis hotel-keeper also put in an at- tachment on the goods of the company. The manager telegraphed a rush message to New York for funds, but the members of the troupe had little faith in his ability to raise them. Those of them that had money released their baggage and returned to the city. As the Marlborough-Vanderbilt wedding draws near Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daugh- ter Consuelo find public curiosity about the details of the event growing irksome. They have made much progress in the arrangements for the wedding, and this progress brought them yesterday to ex- changing the publicity of the Hotel Savoy for the retirement of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s mansion on Madison avenue and Seventy- second street. Mrs. Vanderbilt and the future Duchess of Marlborough propose to remain comparatively secluded in the mansion until November 6. There, if rumor in their circle is to be relied upon, they will perfect the details of a white wedding such as society has never seen. The bride and bridesmaids will be in white, and it is expected that the women guests will compliment the desire of the desire of the bride by appearing in white. At St. Thomas Church delicate white blossoms will be massed about the chancel and the pews will be decorated with white roses, lilies of the valiey and bunches of orange blossom tied to long wands with white ribbons. The Madison-avenue mantua-makers are at work on the gowns of the Misses Marie Winthrop, May Goelet, Evelyn Burden, Daisy Post, Elsa Bronson, Evelyn Jay and Katherine Duer, who are to be the brides maids. Concerning these gowns, it is said they will be of the most costly quality, with extra bigness of sleeves and wideness of skirts, trimmed with white chiffon frill- ings in the daintiest fashion. The cor- sages will be of the new jacket style, with fichus of white chiffon, edged with lace. 1t has been decided that the bridesmaids will wear blue sashes with their white toilets. The lace hats are described as being exceedingly pretty. The brides- maids’ dinner will be given at the Madison- avenue residence. What the souvenir gifts to the young girls will be has been kept a secret. It will be on William K. Vanderbilt’s steam yacht Valiant that the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough will leave the shores of America as soon as their marriage takes place. The Duke has had little opportunity for traveling and is desirous of seeing the world. The newly married couple will eruise considerably on the Valiant, visiting foreign cities before returning to England for the London season. The diamonds presented by the Duke to his youthful fiancee are declared by good judges to be splendid. His most impor- tant gift so far is a ruby pendant of price- less value from the family collection of jewels. Now that she is on the point of depart- ure the girl friends of Miss Consuelo are showeriug her with attentions. The Duke of Marlborough dined last night with Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daugh- ter. It had been arranged that as the young couple pass down the aisle of the church the chimes shall ring. This will be kept up for some time and_Toulmin, a celebrated harpist, will ring them. OPPOSE THE BISHOPS, EPISCOPALIAN DEPUTIES NOT READY T0 CONCUR IN EVERYTHING, RELIGION FOR JAPANESE MORE WORKERS AND LESS LEAD- ERS SAID TO BE REQUIRED IN THE ORIENT. “AMERICA” AND THE HYMNAL. ReFusaL oF THE UPPER HoUSE To INsERT THE NATIONAL MEeLoDY. MINNEAPOLIS, Mi~y., Oct. 19.—By a vote that leaves no ground for the belief that an amicable agreementcan be reached the House of Deputies placed itself square- ly on record to-day in opposition to the vlan of the Bishops dividing the territory of Japan and erecting a new missionary Bishopric, with headquarters at Kyoto. This is the only Sericus disagreement that has arisen between the two bodies since the opening day of the general conven- tion, the Bishops having concurred with most of the resolutions sent up from be- low and the deputies in their turn having been equally courteous. More than one issue, however, as stated in last night’s dispatches, enters into the Japanese question and the feeling it has created and the sentiment among the dele- gates to-night is that their action is irrevo- cable. There was no session of the depu- ties this afternoon, but on Monday they will be asked to appoint a committee of conference. A resolution to grant this, which is more than probable, will be in the nature of administering to the Bishops the snub direct. After the routine business had been dis- posed of this morning and Dean Hoffman of New York, Dr. Parker of Pennsylvania and Mr. Atwater of Minnesota had been heard, a conference committee on the in- sistence of the Bishops to designate future gatherings as the ‘“General Synod” in- stead of ‘‘General Convention” was re- ported and a batch of amend- ments to the constitution was pre- sented. All but one, which makes it neces- sary for a majority of the parishes as well as the diocesan convention to agree to the erection of a new diocese and which was almost unanimously adopted, were re- ferred to the special committee. The convention was not in accord with areport from one of its committees de- claring it inexpedient to establish a court of appeals to which clergymen convicted of offenses against canonical law might carry their case as a last resort, and by a large majority gave instructions that a plan for such a court should be submitted to the next triennial. Then another hour was devoted to debate upon the resolution to substitute the word ‘‘Jesus” for “Jesu” wherever the latter appears in the hymnal. The Japanese question was introduced e g in the form of a majority report from the committce on new dioceses presen y Dr. Richards of Rhode Island, and which set forth that, in view of the rapidly ap- proaching time when the church in Japan would cease to control its own affairs, it would be expedient to enact the proposed legislation. Two hours thereafter the debate waxed fast and furious. Dr. McVicar of Phila- delpbia, who has personally inspected the Japanese field, said that there wasa strong and growing party in that country jealous of foreign interference and opposed to foreign interferenc: It was not good pol- icy on the part of this or any other church to attempt to foist upon foreizn peopie & foreign church when th, me people, as in the case of Japan, were rapidly fostericg a native church. Dr. Glazebrook of New Jersey said that the time was rapidly oadhibg when the Japanese would ask the church to re- tire from the field and allow the native church to control and contended that the dignity and respect of the Amer- ican church was nvolved in the proposi- tion to send the Japanese a Bishop who had not been asked for. Mr. Parks of Massachusetts contended that what was wanted in Japan was more missionary workers instead of Bishops, and that it was not desirable to impress upon the Christians in that field that the time of their National and eccles al independence had been indefinitelp pos poned. He prophesied that war between Japan and Russia was in the near future. Drs. Christian of Newark, N.- J., and Edmunds of Albany, N. Y., supported the action of the Bishops, while Dr..Nevins of Rome, Italy, who has been in Japan with- in two months, warned the convention that the Japanese would not much longer tolerate an exclusive Japanese Episcopate. A vote by dioceses and orders was de- manded cn the minority revort establish- ing the jurisdiction of Kyoto, as recom- mended by the bishops, and it was re- jected: Clericals—ayes 13, nays 34, di- vided 5. Laity—ayes 9, nays 26, divided 2. Therenpon an adjournment was taken until Monday morning. The House of Bishops refused to concur in the resolution inserting the national hymn “America’” in the hymnal on the ground of the expense that would be in- curred and the confusion involved. Bishop Nichols left for the East this morning. Before his depagture he ex- pressed the opinion that the division of the California diocese would have a won- derful effect in promoting the growth and prosperity of the chnrch on the Pacific Coast. ASSAULTED BY THE CUPPYS. Brutal Trea’m:nt of Pension Examiner Brown by a Crowi of Prosecuted Perjurers. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Oct. 19.— Pension Examiner Brown of this city was brutally assaulted this afternoon at Avoca by G. H. and W. B. Cuppy, whom Brown had convicted of making false affidavits in a pension claim case. This fact worked up to the assault. Brown was in Avoca to get further evidence against the Cuppys for perjury, it is supposed, in connection with a former trial, and was at the Rock Island depot, when G. H. Cuppy stepped up benind him and dealt him a staggering blow with a slungshot. The two brothers then attacked Brown, who is a small - and badly used him up. The Pederal au- thorities will probably take a hand in the matter and make it hot for the Cuppys. G. H. Cuppy took an east-bound train for parts unknown. NEW TO-DAY.
