2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1896. THO GUNBOATS ARE LAUNCHED The Vicksburg and New- port Glide Down the Ways at Bath. Vast Crowds Welcome the New Additions to the Modern Navy. Both Vessels Christened by Young Ladies Under Most Historic Circumstances. BATH, ME., Dec. 5.—United States gun- boats Vicksburg and Newport were launched at 12:40 and 12:55 P. M. re-| spectively. Ten thousand people witnessed the twin launching at the Bath Iron Works to-day. Miss Addie Trowbridge of Vicksburg broke the ribbon-covered champagne bot- tle on the stern of the vessel of that name, saying, “I christen thee Vicksburg, and our history be as memorable as that your namesake.” Miss La Farge of Newport, granddaugh- ter of Commodore Perry, broke the cham- | pagne bottle and christened the boat { Newport. ruction, the entire frame el, and above the water each is with steel and planked below. of this over the steel being that h boat has three running the entire length of seven full dec the vessel.

The contract speed is twelve knots, with no premium for excess, but with penalty for falling short, but they will be accepted if they make eleven knots. The coal capacity is 300 tons, giving a steaming radius of 11,000 knots. Butas the boats are designed to cruise under sail ordinarily they will not have to recoal in- side of a year. The total cost will be $460,000. The boats will be ready forsea early next year. Each will carry nine offi- cers, ten marines and 125 bluejackets, Their rig will be very heavy and the boats 1l be very heavy under sail. In appear- ance they are much like steam yachts of approved model. SUING FOR THREE MILLIONS. Peculiar Complications in the Action Brought by Budge et al. Against the Union Pacific. BOSTON, Mass,, Dec. 5.—The action at law brought by Henry Budge, Charles A, Peabody and Henry de Coppel, of New York, vs. the Union Pacific Railroad Com- pany, and the bill in equity brought by thre Union Pacific Railroad Company vs. Budge, Peabody and De Coppel, were heard in the United States Circuit Court to-day by Judge Aldrich upon preliminary motions filed by the parties. The action at law is brought by Bud ge et al.,, who are a committee of the bond- holders of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, whose bonds were secured by an equal amount of bonds of the Denver, Leadville and Gunnison Railroad Com- pany as collateral. They seek to recover of the defendant Union Pacific Railroad $3,000,000 damages. They rely upon a deficiency in the price realiz>d from a sale of the coilateral at New York in October, 1894, which amount was only $25000 as compared with the amount of tue Union Pacific bonds which they held; amounting in face value to $2,484.000, and with the overdue interest to something more. The suit in equity brought by the Union | P c against Budge et al. seeks to set ide the foreclosure sale of the Denver, Leadville and Gunnison Railroad Com- pany bonds, which were held as collateral, claiming that the foreclosure was invalid because the Union Pacific was in the hands of receivers, and the foreclosure was with- out leave of court, was without notice and was not in good faith, and was frandu- lent. The suit was brought upon a motion by defendants, the Union Pacific, asking that the trial, which had been fixed for next January, be delayed until the plaintiffs, who are the defendants in the equity case brought by the Union Pacific, shall ap- pear in that bill. The equity case was brought up on the motion which the defendants’ counsel filed under a special appearance, claiming that the court had no jurisdictionm, prin- cipally because the grounds upon which 1t was based were the same as those which fe of the action at law. The motions raise novel and important questions of practice, and the court re- serves them for further consideration. PR R OPPOSITION TO THE CARNEGIES. The Standard 011 Company and the Rocke- feliers Go Into the Iron and Steel Business. CHICAGO, Iun., Dec. 5—The actual purchasers reoently of a large tract of land in the Calumet River region of South Chicago and the ultimate purpose to which the property will be put leaked out to-day. The Standard Oil Company and the Rockefeliers bought $50,000 worth™ of real estate from the Calumet Canal and Dock Company, embracing 3600 feet of dockage along Lake Michigan, the Calumet River and slip at the mouth of the river. Upon this land the Rockefeller interesis will build the largest steel plant in the country, including "blast furnaces, steel rail mills i by a length and a quarter. and mills for the manufacture of struc- tural iron. The total cost of the plant will be $10,000,000. This new enterprise Wil bring the Standard Oil Companv into di- rect competition with the Carnegies. The Rockefeliers already own great ranges of iron mines in the Lake Superior region and a fleet of steel steamers which will carry the ore to the Calumet River. This fleet is to be increased next season. Build- ing operations are to commence early next year. S CROWDS AT THE WHEEL RACES.

Carle '98, the big Stanford right guard, is out as a candidate for the cap- taincy of the Stanford football eleven, Cotton was first in the field and it looked fora time as though he had no competitors, but the friends of Carle have | urged his name so persistently of late that there is no longer any doubt that he is in the race. He has played two years on the Varsity eleven with increased ability each season, and his game on Thanksgiving proved him one of Stanford’s strongest players. Cotton has played three years on the Var- sity, and is regarded as the best ali-round player on the team. The contest between the men is most friendly, and both are ac- knowledged by the students to be good men and unusually brilliant players. Sheag e Tandem Kecords Broken.

ANNUAL REPORT OF SEC, HERBERT Reviews the Progress of the Building Up of the New Navy. ’ Light-Draught Vessels Needed for Entry of Ports Along the Rivers. Comparisons in Tonnage to Show This Country Is Not Yet Able to Cope With Powers. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5.—Secre- tary of the-Navy Herbert in his annual report asks Congress at the coming session to authorize three light-draught battle- ships and twelve torpedo-boats. He recom- mends that these ships be planued for an extreme deep-load draught of not more than twenty-three feet and suggests that considerations of strategy upon our At- lantic and Gulf coasts render this an es- sential to the successof the naval cam- paigns. “This reasoning,” he says, “is the final result of much careful study by able offi- cers of conditions as they exist on our southern coast. Battle-ships that could enter the harbors of Savannab, Bruns- wick, Key West, Tampa, Pensacola, Mo- bile and the mouth of the Mississippi at all times would have an immense advan- tage over the battle-ships of foreign na- tions, few if any of which could enter these norts. Light-draught battle-ships, if we had them, could make any of these ports bases of supplies, could sally forth | frgm them or retire into themat will and could therefore most always offer battle on their own terms. There are also many of our ports further north which wouid give the same advantages to such ships.” An interesting feature of the reportisa | resume of the progress of the upbuilding of the new navy from the time of itsin- auguration under Secretary Chandler. Congress has authorized during the pres- ent administration tweuty-eight vesseis with a total tonnage of 65,866 tons. Of these five are first-ciass battle-ships and sixteen torpedo-boats. “Large as the anove increase appears,” says the Secretary, “it is not sufficient to place the United States navy in a satis- factory condition. We mean to be able at all umes to defend our long line of sea coast, afford unquestionable protection to our citizens in 1loreign iands, render ef- ficient aid to our diplomacy and maintain under all circumstances our National honor.” The Secretary, calling attention to the comparative naval strength of the prin- cipal powers, states that while the results achieved by the United States are highly creditable to the country, yet it is clear that the great powers with which we are brought into close relationship largely exceed usnotonly in the number of battle- ships and torpedo-boats actually in com- mission but iu their naval programmes for the future, The Becretary shows that on June 30, 1893, there were thirty vessels 1n commission, with a tonnage of 62,820 | tons, while on December 10 the total ton- nage in commission will be.137,859 toas, Attention is again called to the necessity for some legislation by Congress which wiil enable the department to make use in case of an emergency of the tugs, yachts and vessels engaged in the fishing Heets and coastwise and lake trade and io call into the service of the navy the sailors and officers necessary to command and fit such ships in case of threatened or actual war. He recommends an additionai ap- propriation for the purpose of suppiying guns and ammunition with which 1o arm vessels to be called into service from our merchant marine. Reference is also made to a reserve sys- tem, and the Secretary sets forth the report of a board appointed to formulatea general plan for the laying up of vesselsin | reserve, and in this connection it is announced that the department expects to be able to submit to Congress at an early day during the coming session suggestions for such legisiation as may be uneeded to enable it to provide proper accommoda- tions for ships, so that it may estaplish and maintain a reserve system with the value and importance of which the depart- ment is deeply impressed. The subject of the naval militia is dealt with at some length, and it is shown that at the close of the last year the number of naval military lawfully certified was 1794, divided among the States of Rhode Island, Maryland, South Carolina, North Carolina, Massachusetts, California and New York. From the last official returns they number 3339 from the States of New York, Califor- nia, Rhode Island, Maryland, South Uaro- lina, North Carolt ennsylvania, Ili- nois, Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, Georgia and Louisiana, and the depart- ment has been informed of the prospective formation of an additional battalion in New York (at Brooklyn) and an ‘organiza- tion in Onio. During the snmmer the various battal- ions have been drilled in vesseis of the navy and have had the advantage of tar- get practice and drills with the batteries of theships. The Secretary devotes con- siderable space to reyviewing the reports of the chiels of bureaus which have.al- ready been published, arid1n this connec- tion asks Congress to authorize the build- ing of a dock at Norfolk of sufficient size | to take in the largest vessel of tle navy. This he recommends should be constructed of concrete, as it is more readily repaired and cheaper than a wooden dock. Such satisfactory experiments have been made with liquid fuel by Engineer- in-Chief Melyille that the department has ordered that a tug now being constructed at the Norfolk yards and one of the smaller torpedo-boats being built by the Herreschoff Company be fitted for using this oil, intending thus to thoroughly test its capabilities. These boats will be adapted for coal if oil fails, For the relief of the overworked Engi- neer Corps 1t is urged that their num be increased until the limit shall reach 250 instead of 194, as at present. It is announced that a training station on the Pacific Coas:, on the island of Yerba Buena, as provided for by Congress, will soon be established, and thatin the meantime the Adamg, now returning from Honolulu, will be fitted for the duty. CLEVEL MDD WILL BE 1HERE. Elaborate Preparations for the Jacksop Birthday Bunquet CHICAGO, Inn, Dec. 5.—The local leaders of the National Democratic party are counting on the presence of President Cleveland at the Jackson birthday dan- quet, which is to take place here Janu- ary 8. A formal letter of invitation has peen ‘| written by Chairman Goodrich of the committee of arrangemeitts, and the least that is expected in return is a political letter to be read at the banquet. Ex- Mayor Hopkins, who recently saw the President, brought assurances that the President’s acceptance was not an im- probability. Others to be invited, who will no doubt be here, are: Senator Vilas and General Bragg of Wisconsin, John P. Imsh of California, Henry Watterson, J. M. Outh- L wai.e of Ohio, Becretary of State -Hood’s Pills Olney, E. W. Lebman of Missour:, Thomas Gargan of Massachusetts, ex-Sec- retary Fairchild of New York and Jjosiah Patterson of Tennessee. John R. Fel- lows was expected to be one of the orators, T T v GOES BY THE GAS ROUTE. Suicide of a Hote! Porter Who Knew Every Politician in This Couniry—The Defeat of Blaine Broke His Heart. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 5.—Albert F. Lovejoy, who was for many years a porter at the Fiith-avenue Hotel, committed sui- cide during the night at his room in the Putnam House by inhaling gas. He was found dead this morning. He bad made certain of death by stuffing with paper the keyhole and seams of the door in bis room and also fastening the window tightly. Lovejoy had a peculiar history. During the quarter of a century he was in service at the Fifth-avenue Hotel he met almost every prominent politician in the country. He was a special friend of Blaine, Grant and Garfield. Whenever Grant stopped at the hotel Lovejoy was detailed as his valet and he was relievea of all other duties. The failure of Blaine's election in 1884 broke Lovejoy’s heart and he took to drink. He continued his spree until a couple of years ago, when he was dis- missed from the hotel. Since then be has done nothing in par- ticular. Lovejoy, while fiead porter of the Fifth-avenue Hotel, became a mine of po- litical information, and was as well posted as any one on the political zffairs of the Nation. There was not a prominent po- litical frequenter of the hotel whom he did not know and with whom he did not have a personal acquaintance. His position at the hotel was a lucrative one and he saved considerable money, but got rid of it speedily when he began his dissipation. Lovejoy had no relatives so far as known, but there is little doubt that his old-time friends will take charge of the remains and give them fitting burial. —_—— MEXICAN EAILREOAD POUL.

BISHOP BONACUM YET SHOWS FIGHT Will Not Abide by the Decision of the Metro- politan Court. Determined to Appeal His Cele- brated Case to th: Apos- tolic Delegate. In a Letter He Heaps Abuse Upon His Judges and the Priests Who Vanquished Him. LINCOLN, NgsBr., Dec. 4. — Bishop Bonacum to-day gave to the press the following letter, being his side of the now famous fight between the Bishop and the priests in this diocese, and bearing more directly on the recent trial at Dubuque, in which the Bishop was defeated : LixcoLy, Nebr., Dec. 5, 1896 Rev. Father Feency, Rector of the Auburn Mis- #ion—REVEREND AND DEAR Sik: I have been absent from home administering contirma- tions in the southwestern partof the State, end the vircumstances will explain why I have not written to you sooner. In order that you and your people may not be deceived by the telegraph dispatches which are being sent out from Dubnque in reference 10 the case of the diocese of Dubuque vs. Re Deunis Fitzgerald, 1 will state that the d petches in question have been written or in- spired by two persons who are known to us ail asmen of unblushing mendacity and who, in collusion with two others, have for the past threeo: four years made use of the press agen- cies and two or three disreputable newspapers to create & public opinion against me through- out the country. It is known to you, reverend and dear sir, that with two or three exceptions I have never noticed these slanderous attacks, for I do not recognize the public as the tribunal to which I am amenable for my official conduct. Neither have I had atany time a desire or in- clivation to engage in newspaper controversy with abandoned men. As to proceedings in the Metropolitan Curia at Dubuque, I have to say that they are null end void (ab initio), and, theretore, that the sentence of which the dispatches speak is of no force and is not to be regarded by you. The miscarriage of the case is to be ascribed solely to the unfortuaate selection of the judge who was delegated by the Most Reverend Metro- volitan to hear the cas For grave and weighty reasons and in accordance with a practice which obtains in some Metropolitan courts his Grace of Dubuque deemed it for the best in this to take no part in tne proceedings, and he sccordingiy left the adjudication of the case to & certain Rev. P. A. Baart of Michigan. It 18 proper (o state here that this clergyman was wholly unknown to the Most Reverend Archbishop and that his Grace selected him solely on the recommendation of another per- son. As the aforesaid Baart was not above sus- picion on account of his strained relations with his own ordinary and for other reasons, the Rev. Thomas Eagan of Milwaukee, procu- rator for the diocese of Lincoln, challenged him peremptorily; but, strange to say, con- trarytoallecclesiastical law and usage, the Rev. Mr. Baart refused to withdraw from the case. He even declined to receive and place on file the formal challenge which had been made against him, but with indescribable non- chalance he put the document in his pocket. Nay, he went so far as to ins‘ruct the notary not to enter the procurator’s exceptions on the record. Under the eircumstances nothing was left for the diocese- of Lincoln to do butto protest against such arbitrary condnctand to withdraw. This was done and we left the court. The case now goes on appeal to the apostolic .delegation at Washington, ana I will advise you of the outcome. I am, reveread and dear sir, your devoted servant in the Lord, . TroMAS BONACUM, Bishop of Lincoln. " p.8.—As1 finish writing the above an official copy of the deeision is handed to me. Ttis in- deed a very sirange document and replete with the grossest calumnies agninst me. In it Rev. Mr. Baart descends from the exalted posi- tion of & judge to the level of the blackguard, and becomes the special pleader for a brace of clerical adventurers who -have invariably given trouble ‘o the Bishops and people of the various diocese in which they have been. I shall have oceasion in the future to animad- vert more at length on this extraordinary pro- duction. — Iu Homar of Minister Cooper. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5—Hon. John W.
