Monuments ecrashed down on' mounds of earth and vaults groaned : and split. { When the convulsion of the earth had passed the shaken sleepers in the necro- poli settled down a%nln, unmindful of what hed happgned, but the living that | had reared the beautiful testimonials of their love were left much to grieve e, over when they again visited the ceme- teries. Tt will take years of work and mil- lions of dollars to repair the damage done to monuments in Calvary, Masonic 04dd Fellows and Laurel Hill Cemeter- | fes. In the Laurel Hill burial place! many of the historis menuments were badly dum.{od by the guake. The stones over the grave of Ohief Engi-| neer David Scnnnollh!n the Firemen'’s' lot, the one over the rufi.nfi place of enstor David O. Broderick,, the heavy marble slob over the grave of Colonel Edward D, Baker, the hero of Ball’s Bluff, the magnificent shaft that mark- ed the r-fins place of B.

The roof of the lod at the entrance was badly broken by a chimney falling through it. In OCelvary cemetery many monu- ments were shaken down, but the larger ones were but slightly damaged. A re- markable fact i5 that all the monu- ments in the western half of the ceme- tery fell toward the north or south and those of the eastern half fell toward the east.

With this attitude of the Govern- ment, if it is sincerely carried out, tthe ! Constitutional Democrats for the pres- ent are content. They will wait for final victory, when the Emperor will be forced to grant a constitution, which time they believe Is not far off. M. Nabokoff, the lead«wr of the Con- stitutional Democrats, tcday said frankly that his party had no desire at present to have a Premler and Cabinet even it it could. Such respon-| sibility would place it upon the defen- sive, while by remaining in the oppo-| sitlon, with the country behind it, the chances of forcing a complete surren- der were increased inatead of being diminisned. g ’ The little grop of Soclalists of the extreme left has not yet fhown Its hand, but with the Constitutional Democrats, which have o clear work- ing majority, it will be powerless to force s conflict. The Octoberists in the Center are a negliglble quantity,’ and with the present temper at Taarskoe-Selo this small group of re- actionists in the Parliament sings low. The ceremoines at the Winter Palacee, when tiig Emperor will de- lUver & speech from the throne, have, been arranged with ali the glitter| and pomp of a state function, the idea of an Informal: opening In order to diminish the importance of the position of the Parllament being abandoned.

The cruiser Marblehead has been un- expectedly ordered to Honolulu. The telegraphic message came late Satur- day night to Admiral Goodrich order< ing him to have the cruiser put Into condition to proceed at the earliest possible moment to sea. She left her wharf yesterday at Spear street, where she had been lying for the last tem days, and went to Mare Island. She will go on the dry dock there early Tuesday morning to have her bottom scraped and undergo her usual ennual cleaning. Meantime she will be fitted | out for the voyage, so that she wmi sail at the latest by Wednesday. Admiral Goodrich sald yesterday that he had no idea why the sudden order changing the Marblehead's plans had been given. He said it cer- tainly was mysterious, but all he knew was that the orders from Washington were in cipher, and were of the most imperative nature, and directed the crulser's immediate dispatch to the| Islangds. Until the orders came from Wash- ington the Marblehead had expected to go north with the fleet to Portland, , and later to Puget Sound. ENCOUNTERS HEAVY GALE. The Norwegian steamer Hercules ar- rived in port yesterday from BSinga- pore via Victorla. Captain Bjerck re- ports that on April 17, 18 and 19 he bad strong south gales with mountainous seas, On April 20, when in longitude 44:30 north and latitude 156:27 east, a | heavy southeast to southwest gale compelled the captain to heave the ves- sel to for four hours, it being impos- | sible to run her in such high seas. The | barometer at this time was 28.64, the lowest Captain Bjerck had ever seen. These wunusual seas and heavy storms began the day before the earthquake here. The Hercules brings a general cargo of merchandise to the China and Java Export Company. DORIC DUE TODAY. The Occidental and Oriental Steam- ship Company’'s steamer Doric is due | to arrive early this morning from the | Orient via Honolulu. She brings about | seventy-five passengers and 850 tons of local freight. She will be docked at the Paclfie Mail wharf, and those of the passengers who wish to go to Oak- land or take Eastemn trains will be| taken across the bay on the tug Arabs. CHANGE IN SAILING DATE. The Pacific Coast Steamship Com- pany’s wteamer Curacoa will sail for| Ensenada and way ports tomorrow at 4 p. m. Instead of today at 10 & m., as originally advertised. She will take ber full complement of passengers and her usual amount of freight. COLLIDE IN THE BAY. The schooner v.arrie and Annle, which was lying off Meiggs whart, drifted across the bows of the barken- tine Georgina yesterday. She was towed clear by the tug Rellef and suf- fered but little damage. WILL RETURN TO SEATTLE. The transport Burnside, which is now laying cables between this city and the military island posts in the bay, will return to Seattie when her work here i3 completed. FINDS DESERTED SLOOP. Captain Badger of the Chicago found & deserted sloop floating in the bay late Saturday night. She had & quan- tity of scrap lron and oopper mtmg-] on board, evidently loot from some of the burned buildings here. He turned her over to the harbor police station, and the little boat is ‘now tled up alongside the dock there. It was at first thought thé loot belonged to the United Railroads, but the superintend- ent says that it is not the propery of How the boat came to be adrift and who its owners are is a mystery. LOGAN DUE ON FIFTEENTH. The transport Logan is due to arrive from Manila on the 15th. She will sail from bere on the 25th on her return | trip to Mantla, and will not go to Se- attle. WILL SAIL TUESDAY. The transport Sherman will sail from Seattle on Tueaday for ilanils. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED MAY &, Stmr Grace Dollar, Fozen, 3 hours from Aberdeen.

NORFOLK, Va., May &—The Bat- tleship Rhode Island was floated at high tide tonight after being agreund on York Spit bar since morning. It was due to the efforts of four power- ful naval tugs—the Uncas, Wahnetak, Hercules and Mohawk—that the big warship was drawn from the sand bar. The extent of the injury to the ship is not knmown tonight. It develops that May §—there was no native pilot taken aboard Stinr Oregon, from Seattle, for Val- | the vessel when she entered the capes. No local pilot would have under- taken te take the ship te York Bay. NORFOLK, Va, May 6.—The battle- ship Rhode Island stranded off York's Spit In Chesapeaks Bay yesterday. The vessel passed in the cape early yesterday morning from , the Boston navy-yard and was en route to York- town, Va. The big ship was just em- tering the mouth of the York River when she stuck nose first on a sand- bar, and from last reports received here she is still hard aground. The ship notified the wirelegs sta- tion here of her position and asked for ald. The tugs Uncas, Hercules and Mohawk were rushed to her assist- ance and have been standing by the ship since. The Upcas had just ar- rived from the southern drill grounds. | She iz attached to the Atlantic fleet, and is considered the meost powerful towboat In the service of the Govern- ment. The Hercules and Mohawk are attached to his yard and are also pow" erful boats. 2 The efforts of the tugs to fleat the big ship have so far, acccording to the last report received here, been un- availing. Officials think that with the aid of tugs the ship could be floated at high tide. No one Is able to place the respon-~ sibility for the stranding of the bat- tleship. There was no fog or storm on the bay, and officlals are unable to | account for the accident. She at- tempted to enter the York River bay before daybreak and was out of the channel. In the event of the success- ful floating of the ship she will be brought here to determine the amount of damage sustained. The Rhode Island was placed In commission April 17 last. Later reports from the battleship | Rhode Island say the ship is still hard aground. There is no hope that the big fighter will be pulled Into deep water on the next.high tide unless a | favorabls wind arises to assist the | powerful tugs. The condition of the ship 1s reported to be unfavorable, The Government officials decline to | lve out Information other than the | bare statement that the ship is still | ashore. | Members of the Virginia Pilots’ As- | sociation say that the ship s In a | serious condition. The bottom at the mouth of the York River s a hard one and old pllots declare a ship as heavy as the Rhode Island ashors any length of time must meet with sericus injury. ——— ACADEMIC SENATE PASSES BESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY.
