READY TO BATTLE.
John L. and Jim Both in the
Pink of Condition for the
Fight.
Pugilistic Admirers to Have
a Chance to Compare the
Tv/o Men.
Frof. Mike Donavan Opines
That Corbett Will Be the
Victor.
Little Money Being- Bet in the
Pugilistic Centers of the
Country.
Nkw Touk, Aug. 28.— Now that the
preparatory work is over, and Sullivan
and Corbett are in the pink of condition
for their great prize light, which is to
take place in Now Orleans Sept. 7, ttie
excitement will be intense until the
battle takes place. Both pugilists will
be in town tomorrow, where they wiil
remain until they leave on their re
epective trains for the battle ground.
Sullivan will -show at the Clerinont
avenue rink in Brooklyn tomorrow
night, and it is thought the building
will not be able to accommodate the
large throng that will crowd there to see
him.
Corbett, on the other hand, will give
a double-headed entertainment at the
Madison Square garden, this city.
The afternoon entertainment will
consist chiefly of exhibiting his
style of training to the public,
going tjnouiih the entire programme,
which will doubtless prove highly inter
esting, as the average person has not
the slightest idea of the tremendous
amount (if laborious exercise he
is compelled to undergo to re
duce his flesh, in the evening the en
tertainment will consist chiefly of
boxing, wrestling and an exhibition
of handball playing between him and
Lawler, the Irish champion. It is
pretty generally believed that both
the.iL" entertainments will be largely at
tended, especially the one given in the
afternoon, as the men who intend going
to see Sullivan in the evening wiil no
Uoubt go to tee Corbett ill the after
noon in onler
To Make < om|>:irl*ons
between the respective conditions of
the two men. The sporting public Is
somewhat anxious to know what the
outcome will be of the meeting tomor
row morning between Jim Corbett and
Dominick McCaffrey. The men were
never friends, but McCaffrey has been
airing his opinions so freeiy about the I
Corbett-Suliivan fight in the daily
papers the feeling between the two
pugilists has been developed into a
very bitter hatred.
As aii instance of how opinions differ, i
.Sullivan a few weeks ago was regret- |
ting the tact of not buying a better man |
to meet than Corbett, as he would be
dragging his friends away down to Sew
Orleans to see a comparatively one
sided fight, as it would be over in a few
punches, thai would hardly pay them
lor a long Journey.
Corbett, on the other hand, was de
lighted by the compliment Sullivan
raid him in training hauler for this
light than iie ever trained in his life be
fore. Corbett feels just as confident
that he is going to defeat ."Sullivan as
Sullivan does that lie will have a "soft
snap" with Corbett. Jim smiled pleas
antly today and .-aid: "1 see that Sul
livan is taking precautions, according
to a paragraph relative to his fisuting
shoes."
The creat thickness of solo and the
Unusual neisht of heel of these shoes
are intended to raise Sullivan from the
floor and put him nearer on an equality
with Corbett than hi? would tie other
wise. With another pleasant smile and
wink of his eye, Jim said: "It is evi
dent that it Sullivan thinks he is to
have such an easy time, his friends are
not quite so sure of his soft snap, and
are doing everything in their power to
further his chance of victory."
Tlie Admirer* oi'Sullivau
cannot see how be can be dtfeatecL No
living man can stand his rushes, they
declare, and the same fate awaits Cof
bett as befell other ambitions aspirants
for championship honors.
The friends of Corbett predict a
wholly different outcome of the great
battle. Sullivan, »hey claim, has
never met a man of Corbett's
strength and ability before, and
will meet more than his match.
In addition to these qualities of a great
tighter. "Pompadour Jim" has now the
advantage of Sullivan in height, he be
ing three inches taller than Sullivan.
His hitting powers are but slightly in
ferior to those of Sullivan, and his nim
bleuess is sure to keep out'of harm's
•way. Naturally he has by far the
greater endurance, and ten years of
youth in his favor cannot but aid him
in case of a protiacted struggle.
Charlie Johnston today said: "John
Is now ready to fight for a kingdom.
He is down to 308 pounds, and never
felt better or stronger in bis life. The
slight lameness caused by a blister on
his heel has now gone, anil the big fel
low is as spry as a cat and as strong as
a lion. Of course, he ft-els per
fectly confident of winning and
that in short order. He does not mean
to waste his strength chasing Corbett,
however, should the Californian at
tempt to adopt Charley Mitchell's
tactics, if Corbett stands up and rights,
the battle will be of short duration.
But if he attempts to run John will be
found equal to the emergency, and stay
all aightif necessary towhip his man."
The opinion of Uie accomplished rine
ceneral. Prof. Mike Donovan, of the
New York Athletic club, is interesting.
''Barring accidents," said the veteran,
•'Jim will win liie erreat light of the
country at New Orleans on Sept. 7. He
is iv as prime condition as a tiger and
quick as a <*at. He anticipates a fierce
ana
Jlost Determined striigisle
and quite naturally, for he knows
he will £ace the greatest fighter that
tbe world has ever seen. However, lie
is buoyant, confident, and chuck full of
courage. He believes that every man
lias his day, and that every warrior
finds his master. Like a bravo man, lie
feels it within him that Sullivan's sun
will set and his own arise gloriously in
the oifiht of Sept. 7.
•'I am 'lot at liberty to state what
Jim's plaus of battle are,'' continued
Donovan. "One tiling you can rest as
sured of— .Jim won't sprint like
Mitchell. Of course he won't stand
like a fool and get punched, or entrance
in a roujrh and tumble style of fighting,
but will hit Mini set away cleverly. All
of Sullivan's savaee rushes will lie
skillfully met, ::ini. win or lose, the big
fellow will know lie has been in some
bsrlit."
Some one recently mentioned to Cor

bett tnat Prof. John Duffy, the Olym
pic club's referee, did not favor in
lighting very much, and that therefore
Corbett and Sullivan would most likely
do most of their, work at long range.
"Any way will do me|" said
Corbetr. "Prof. Duffy bears an un
blemished name, and I feel perfectly
confident that he will do the square and
fair thing by both of us. Some people
seem to think 1 am afraid of close work
with Sullivan. Now, we will fight
under lair rules, and so long as 1 can
conform to them 1 will do so. but I in
tend to convince Sullivan that 1 can
take the best care of myself at all stages
and at any stage of the game. I expect
him to jight fairly, as 1 shall.and 1 don't
think either of us will give Mr. Duffy
much trouble."
The Champion's Colors.
Nkw Fork, Aug. 2S. — The colors
which Sullivan will wear during his
light with Corbett have been received
by Arthur Lumley. They are very
handsome and are worked on a back
ground of white. In the center is a
picture of Sullivan stripped to the
waist, with disarms folded. In the
right-hand corner is an American flag.
wh ile in the corner opposite is depicted
the shining sun. In the lower right
hand corner is a sbamrocß worked in
green silk. In the corner opposite this
is an Irish harp also woven in green
silk.
LITTL.K MONKY PLACED.
Bettors Too Uncertain or Too Cock
Sure.
.Sax Fbascisco. Cal., Aug. 2S.—Lit
tle money has as yet been placed here
on the three big lights, and most of that
stands on the Sullivan, McAuliffe and
Dixoii combination at 12 to 5. There is
any amount oi Sullivan money at 100 to
00, but (Jorbett's friends are standing
aloof. A few small bets at those odds
were made .Saturday.
l'ool rooms are selling Meyer at SO to
100, or McAuliffe even money. Skelly
has no friends, and oilers of 12 to lon
Dixon go begging.
Brady said to a crowd of sporting men
this afternoon: "Mark my word, and
remember it on Sept. 7, the light will
not last over eighteeu rounds. The
light will look like Sullivan's lor the
first six rounds, but after that Corbett
will have everything his own way. He
will tire Sullivan out in the early part
of the contest."
A conference was held with Phil
Dwjrer and Mattie Corbett and other
backers of Corbett, at which it was de
cided that Billy Delaney will stand be
hind Corbett in the tight. Dillon and
Daly wiil assist him. while Mike Dono
van will look after the bottles. Corbett
was shown the latest picture of Sulli
van, and said: "That looks as if Sulli
van was in condition, and 1 am glad he
is."
St. LociS, Mo., Aug. -23.— Very few
beta of any consequence have been made
here as yet on the New Orleans triple
event. The pikers, of course, are in
dulging in a little speculation, and Sulli
van, MeAulilf and J)ixou are the favor
ites with them. Among the regular
sporting contingent Sullivan is the over
whelming Jfavorite, one bookmaker ac
ercss the river having (1,000 to place on
Sullivan at odds of 3to 5. The colored
element naturally are with Dixon to a
man, and are complaining that they can
find-no Shelley supporters. HcAuliffe
is a prime St. Louis favorite, and what
few bets are being made on the light
weight contest are at odds of 5 to 4 in
his favor.
It may be depended on that nothing
will be left undone by Myer, nor is
there the least danger that indulgence
of any caprice will be allowed to en
danger his prospect. Just now he is re
laxing the visor oC his labor and is tak
inc it easier. Today he weighed 186
pounds, just two pounds less than
he is expected to weigh at the ring
side, it is the opinion of pnysicians
here that Billy is at his best, and that
he never was in belter condition than at
present. His stomach gave him a little
tiouble when he began to train, but now
it is acting all right.
Next Monday evening an athletic ex
hibition will be given at Armory hall
here, at which Billy will appear in a
bout with his trainer. A delegation
of friends from Chicago, and also
from Ottawa and other neigh boring
towns, will be present on that occasion.
There is little surface interest herein
the contest, but it is understood that in
the inner circles the feeling is intense,
I and that a larger amount of money will
j tro from Streator to back Myer than on
any other preceding similar event.
There is no betting here, as all aie be
lievers in tiie local favorite, and it is ex
pected little will be done in this line
until the day of the light. The Myer
party expects to leavu next Thursday
morning for New Orleans.

THE PAINT PAUL DAILF GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING!. AUGUST 29, JS92.
BOMBS SUPERSEDED.
Nihilists Have Produced a
Perfectly Satisfactory In
fernal Machine.
When Charged It Can Be Car
ried in the Breast Pocket
of a Coat.
It Will Explode Without the
Help of Clockwork or a
Lighted Match.
Instead of Dynamite a Secret
Explosive of High Power
Is Used.
Xi;w Fork, Aug. 28. — A morning pa
p>r says: After years of labor the Rus
sian nihilists have at last succeeded in
inventing a perfectly satisfactory in
fernal machine. The machine was fin
ished in London a few days asro, and a
report which has reached this country
says that those wno examined it pro
nounce it as perfect a death-dealing in
strument as could be devised.
The machine is 10 centimentres in
height and 4in width. It is rectangular
in shape, portable, and looks somewhat
like a small book. Even when charged
it can be carried with the utmust safety
in the breast pocket of a coat, and none
but the initiated would ever imagine
that it was anything but a bulky purse.
When the time for action comes the
nihilist can take it out of his pocket
place it where the explosion is to occur
and then calmly walk off to a place of
safety. At the appointed moment the
machine will explode without the aid of
clockwork or even a lighted match.
Instead of dynamite a secret explosive
is used, and with this the bottom of the
machine is tilled. Over the explosive is
placed a detonator, which consists of a
chemical product, and is set on tire, by
coming in contact with a drop of
Some Secret Liquid.
A glass ball holds this liquid, and
when an explosion is desired all that is
necessary is to let it trickle drop by
drop through a tube, at the lower ex
tremity ot which is the small chemical
mass resting on the explosive.
When the machine is turned upside
down so that the glass ball is at the bot
tom no explosion cun take place, but
when the machine is held upricht so tho
liquid can trickle down to the detonator,
an explosion is bound to follow.
In the eyes of revolutionists the merit
of this machine lies in the fact that it
can be operated without danger to the
operator. Moreover, it is always ready,
and can be regulated to a moment.
Heretofore clockwork or a lighted match
was necessary to produce an explosion,
and the result was that once set going
the machine could not be stopped. This
new machine, however, can be stopped
at any moment before the explosion
takes place.
After placing it in position tho opera
tor may decide to postpone the shake
up for a while, and then all that will be
necessary for him to do will be to turn
the infernal device upside down and
put it back in his pocket. lie will
Run Absolutely No Kiwit
in handling the machine, for by means
of the live plugs of blotting paper in the
glass tube lie can determine the very
moment at which the explosion is to
take place. If he aliows the liquid to
trickle very quickly he may confidently
expect an explosion in five minutes,
whereas, if lie uses the five plugs of
blotting paper be may reckon a full
hour for flight before the liquid touches
the detonator:
Nihilists consider the invention of this
machine almost as important as the in
vention of dynamite, and are very
anxious to learn what steps the
authorities will take to guard them
selves from it. When dynamite bombs
came into use among anarchists the au
thorities in France and other countries
placed many restrictions on the saie of
dynamite, and it is assumed in revolu
tionary circles that they will pursue the
same policy now, ami, by restricting
the sale of dangerous chemicals and ex
plosives, render it difficult, though
hardly impossible for their implacable
enemies to do much harm with this new
instrument of destruction: What will
make their task especially difficult is
the fact that they do not know what
kind of explosive and liquid is used iv
in the new machine, and nihilists are
determined that they shall not be en
lightened on this point.

Prospects of Trouble in the Amal
gamated Association Dispelled.
Pittsuuug, Aug. 28.— The prospects
of more internal strife iv the ranks of
the Amalgamated association in the
near future was dispelled today at a
meeting of the roughers in the Pitts
burg district. The meetihg was attended
by 200 roughers. The Mahoning and
Shengo valley roughers were also rep
resented by the chairman of the com
mittee that attended the recent confer
ence in the interests of the ranchers.
The most important action of the meet
ing was the decision to accept the terms
of the Amalgamated association confer
ence committee and to go to work at
the horizontal cut. This decision takes
away all probability of trouble this
year. It was decided, however, to form
a roughers' association, the object of
which will be to advance the waires of
the roughers very materially next year.

NOT VERY CONFIDENT.
Senator Pettigrcw Still Sings a
Jeremiad Over Elaine's
Defeat.
Senator Sanders Talks of Mon
tana — General Hotel
Gossip.
United States Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, who is one of the many
Republican statesmen who would have
liked to have seen Ben Harrison's head
dropped into the basket at the Minne
apolis convention, is at the Ryau.
lie is on his way home after
an absence of over a year.
Since the adjournment of congress the
senator has been in New York, where
he had the society of such good men as
Tom Carter, "Ret" Clarksoii and Tom
Platt, and where he was enabled to
keep his political eye well focused upon
the situation throughout the country.
Senator Pettigrew believes that Benja
min Harrison will be elected— least
he expresses such a belief. Before the
nomination was made at Minneapolis, it
will be remembered, the senator from
Smith Dakota was wont to argue that
Mr. Harrison would stand a very slim
chance of being elected, injease he were
nominated. The senator wanted James
G. B!aine, and that he -want
ed him badly . was apparent
from the mannnei in which be talked to
a. Globe reporter last night.. "Mr.
Blame," said he, enthusiastically,
"would have carried the country by
storm. • He would have carried South
Dakota by an overwhelming majority."
"How about Harrison's chances* in
South Dakota?" asked the reporter.
"Well," Harrison will carry the state
all right," ■ replied the senator in a
doubttul manner. "The vote will be
- close, but 1 have no doubt that the Re
publican candidate will win. 1 do-not
look for a lame majority." .■■:.. - .
In the course of the interview Senator
Pettigrew said: .."We anticipate, a ]
fusion of the Alliance with tiia Demo
crats in South Dakota, ami' ws are mak
ing our calculations accordingly. There
I is a very large soldier vote in the state,
I and will no solidly to Harrison. The
! old soldiers will not vote for Cleveland;
i whether they are Democrats, Alliance |
[ men or Republicans.' They might have
voted for any other Democrat, but they ?
will not vote for Cleveland. Neither.
-will they vote for the • Alliance
electors: on the fusion ticket, for' !
they will regard a vote for the Alliance
as paramount :to a vote for Cleveland.
If the Democrats had not nominated
Cleveland and adopted a free trade,
platform they might have reasonably
counted on " carrying South Dakota.
But as it is, tbe weakest Re
publican that could be named
could carry" the state. When: I
stated at the Minneapolis convention
that Harrison could not carry South Da- ;
kota, I did net know that Cleveland
would be the Democratic nominee on a
free trade platform. The Democrats,'
by indorsing the electoral ticket of the
Populists will make a vigorous tight to
keep the state out of the Republican
column, but I doubt that they will sue-,
ceed. In New York state Harrison is
gaining in favor every day. and 1 think
he will carry the. state. The republi- '
can:- of the Empire state are working
harmoniously, and so are the Demo
crats, for that matter. Tammany nas
swung info line for Cleveland, and will
doubtless throw all its influence in his
favor.
"1 have some doubts about some of
the silver states, i believe Montana
will go to Harrison, but would not be
surprised to see Colorado and Nevada
go to Weaver. Minnesota, of 'course, .
will go Republican, and Kuute Nelson
will be elected."
W. F. Sanders, of Montana, was an
other United States senator at the Ryan
yesterday. He arrived from the East
in the morning and left lor Helena in ]
the afternoon. To a GjLOBE re
porter Senator* Sanders expressed
the opinion that Harrison would
get the i electoral votes of Moil- j
tana. Upon being questioned, he i
admitted that Weaver might possibly
get enough silverite votes to capture the
state, but this lie doubted extremely.
The senator had no doubt that the Peo
ple's party would win in one or two of
the silver states.
"It is folly," said Senator Sanders,
to make lirht of Gen. Weavers candi
dacy. With all the silverites and many
of the farmers at his back, he stands a
very good chance to capture a sufficient
numer of electoral votes in the territory
west of the Missouri to " play havoc in
the electoral college. His candidacy
will undoubtedly greatly reduce the
Republican vote in the West."
F. E. Goqdall, cashier of the Wash
ington National bank, of Spokane, was
at the Merchants' yesterday, and dined
with L. C. Dillman, the Spokane
millionaire. "We are happy," said
Mr. Good all to a Globe man,
"over the withdrawal of President
Hill from the Transcontinental
Traffic association. This will result in
giving to Spokane all the trade that is
tributary to the city, and that is very
extensive. Heretofore we have had to
pay freight rates that made it impossi
ble for us to get the trade that right
fully belonged to us. Now, that we are
to have just rates, Spokane is sure to
have a commercial boom." :r - ;.'.

establish the strength of the case of the
government. It seems to be generally
allowed that the government has a
strong case. Enough evidence has now
been introduced to warrant binding
over Miss Lizzie until the grand jury.
The hearing has been by no ineaus
ended, as Prof. Wood is yet to be heard
on the character of blood spots on the
linen, ax aud other articles taken from
the Borden house. The defense now
proposes to call witnesses who will show
that much of Dr. Dolaifs testimony is
unreliable. Ex-Medical Examiner D.
W. Ely has. been an active listener to
the trial, and it is understood he will be
called as an expert on the part of the
defense to disprove much of the testi
mony that has been given. The defense
claims there are large discrepancies in
the medical testimony, and home devel
opments are lookedfor.
The day was long to Miss Lizzie be
cause she had no sewing or other worn
anly occupation to take up her mind
The. officers who now guard the ap
proach to the matron's room are pre
venting the unseemly disturbances to
which the prisoner was subjected.
Marshal Hilliard will uot give out a
statement regarding his investigation
into the truth of Matron Regan's stories
about the sisters' quarrel.
Believes Lizzie Guilt} \
An official who stands high in the
government counsels was "asked this
morning his opinion concerning the
guilt or innocence of Lizzie Borden. He
said in substance: -1 have no hesi
tation in saying that 1 believe her
guilty of the crime." Being pressed
lor the ground on which his
judgment was based, the official
said it was largely founded on the evi
dence of Bridget Sullivan at the exam
ination yesterday afternoon, although
developments at tiie private examina
tion which resulted in Lizzie's arrest
were strongly condemnatory. The
official said the crime must have
been committed by some one
who was familiar with the ar
rangements of the house,wilh the move
ments of Mr. and Mrs. Borden and of
Lizzie on the day of the murder. The
appearance of Lizzie at the back
door when Bridget Sullivan went
into the back yard in the morn
ing, and her Inquiry of the ser
vant, were suspicious circumstances
against her. After this inquiry Lizzie
disappeared from sight and sound,
while Bridget was washing the outside
windows of the house. She was not
oeen by Bridget again around the rear
ot the house, and this would
Give Tinie for the lUurder
of Mrs. Borden to have been committed.
The noise made by Bridget in washing
the windows would have deadened to
her ears any sound which came from
the upper rooms of the house. The de
pal ture of Bridget to the upper
rooms soon afterward placed her
out of the way while the mur
der of Mr. Borden was ac
complished. It is now tl-ought that the.
examination of Lizzie will occupy at
least three days next week.
With regard to the refusal yesterday
of Marshal liiilyard to allow Matron
Reagan to sign a paper stating that no
scene had occurred between Lizzie and
her sister Emma,the Globe says Marshal
Hillyard said this morning that, aside
from the fact that Matron Reagan is a
government witness, he would not
allow her to sign that paper because
she had admitted to him that she had
spoken about the scone which she had
witnessed between Emma and Lizzie,
and in signing that paper she would
have compromised herself. The Globe
adds: "The talk which Matron
Reagan had had with the city
marshal was contrary and in
direct opposition to the spirit and in
tent of rhe contents .of the document
which the lawyer for the defense had
prepared and had asked Matron Reagan
to sign. The matron told the marshal
the story as she remembered it, and if
she had signed the document she would
probably have subscribed to a false
statement and this statement could not
have been corrected for her name
would have been attached to a written
statement."

HALL A WHIRLWIND.
Pritehard's Backers and Friends
Had a Job Set. Up to Win,
Fair or Foul,
But the Australian Was Far and
Away the Better Fighter "
of the Two
Loxdox, Aug. 28.— 1t is not generally
known that ihe tight between Ted
Pritcnard and Jim Hall took place at
'Squire Abington's place, near Brigh
ton. This fact in itself has no great
significance but when it is coupled with
others it gives strength to the rumor
that Pritchard was going to win the
fight by hook or crook. The fact that
there was oniy one of Hall's friends at
the ringside and tliar his two staunch
est supporters, "!' m" Davies and
Joe Choynski, wci • • imfc shows that
there was something mure than accident
in the arrangement.
When Jim Wakely, Phil Lynch and
Charley Johnson were left behind at the
Smith-Kilrain fight in France there was
some excuse, but on this occasion the
leaving of Davies and Choynski was de
liberately planned. That those two
gentlemen feel aggrieved goes without
saying. Davies is Hall's manager, and
should have been at the ringside, while
Choynski is Hall's side partner, and
came from America on purpose to be
Hall's second if any match was made in
England.
That these two men feel sore is cer
tain, and they will have a story to tell
when they step oft the City of Home,
which should reach New York Saturday
next. What makes this matter still
worse is the fact that Squire Abington
Had all his chosen henchmen around
him in case they should be needed,
'lhey were the pick of the Birmingham
division, and comprised Jack Baldock,
Jimmy Carney, Bill Smith and Sam
Blackloek. The major part of these
worthies were instrumental in prevent
ing Frank Slavin beating Jem Smith at
Bruges. That Priteha'd did not win is
no fault of his friends,but the immense
superiority of Hall was so pronounced
and sudden that nothing short of mur
der could have deprived him of the, vic
tory.
It was thought that Hall would
accompany Davies and Choynski back
to America, as he had all along said he
intended to be^present at the New Oi
leaus fights, and that he was anxious to
ratify a match with Bob Fitzsimmons.
but every one was astonished when he
announced that he was going to remain
in England for some time. Hall intends
to double up with Pritchard and star
through the United Kingdom, and it is
quite possible that the pair will go to
America together.
Peter Jackson will remain in England
(or six weeks, when he, too, will leave
for the United States. He says that,
while he will issue no challenge, he
stands ready to fight any man in the
world.
There is little or no betting on the
Corbett-Sullivan fight. Nearly all the
Americans want to back Sullivan, and
several have offered to wager 100 to 70
on the "big fellow."

BLUNDER OR DESIGN?
Changes in the Cruisers
Causes Quite a Stir Among:
> , Naval Officers
From Inclined to Vertica
Armor Plate the Prin
cipal Change.
One of the Cramps Discusses
the Alterations in the
Plans,
But He Declined to Give an
Opinion as to Theip Ef
fect
Philadelphia, Aug. 28.— A dispatch
from New York,published in this morn
ing's Enquirer, says the changing in
the plans for vessels under construction
caused quite a stir among naval
officers, most of whom wera puzzled
how to answer the question whether the
changes made were detrimental to the
efficiency of those vessels, and whether
they were due to blunders in designs or
to tne capacity of thu contractors to per
form their work.
The case in vuestion was that of the
cruiser New York, now well on its way
to completion at Cramps' shipyards.
The changes made are mainly in refer
ence to the armor, the intention being
to use vertical faced instead of
the inclined armor plate as originally
called for. Another important change
has been the removal of the five-inch
ammunition tube of armor which ex
tended from the turret through the ,
unannored main deck to the protected
decK, preventing the supply of ammuni
tion from being cut oil, and protecting
the ammunition and the men handling
it against fragments of shells bursting
on board between the hilt and the
barbette.
Henry W. Cramp, of the ship-building
establishment, states that, liis firm was,
of course, not responsible for any
changes, but was compelled to obey or
ders, as they came from the secre
tary of the navy. The trouble arose,
he said, from a tight in the department
at Washington and as long as the ord
nance bureau directed the construction
of the vessel n would be difficult to see
where
That Trouble Lie.
The armor, he said, as far as put on,
was mostly according to the original de
signs, but as soon as the other arrived
it would be fastened to the vessel with
out delay, unless orders to the contrary
were received iv the meantime.
Mr. Cramp declined to give an opinion
whether the efficiency of the cruiser
would be impaired by the change of
armor, remarking that no experi
ments in that line had ever been
made, to his Knowledge; and talking
about an hypothetical problem had no
part in the navy's work. In response
to the removal of the armored ammuni
tion tube, Mr. Cramp stated that the
work had been changed on orders from
the department at Washington. It had
requireti quite a long time to make the
changes, but as lang sis they had not
complained of the loss in adopting the
new plan, no one else should object.
The substitution of wire work for
splinter bulkheads to protect the guns
was regarded by Mr. Cramp as a matter
of less importance, and he seemed to
think the vessel's efficiency would
not be impaired in the least.
The other altercations were disposed of
satisfactorily by Mr. Camp, but he said
the most radical move was the
substitution of the verticle-faced
for" the inclined armor plate,
and whenever the Camelries, shipped
the armor they were ready to adjust it
without delay. The firm, he continued,
has no connection, whatever with the
Pittsborg iron linn, which received
word from Washington when to ship
the armor. The Cramps would not nat
urally lose anything by the decision of
the ordinance bureau. •
: Mr. Cramp would not criticise the
action of any of the government otti
cials, but insisted that the secretary of
the navy was not responsible for the
altercations in the New York.

QUARRELED OVER POLITICS
And One Stabbed the Other to
Death.
. V and alia. 111., Aug. 28.— A sicken
ing tragedy occurred near Avana, this
county, last nleht, in which John D.
Frailer was stabbed to death by Charles
Chandler, his brother-in-law. Both
are well-to-do farmers. They came
to Vandalia accompanied by Mrs.Chand
ler, mother of the murderer. Fraiter
was a Republican and Chandler a Demo
crat. Both men had been drinking, and
they quarreled along the road over
politics. Chandler finally got out of the
wagon and .declared he would walk.
Fraiter declared .he should • ride, and
climbed' out and began playing the
whip to Chandler. Chandler drew his
knife and stabbed Fraiter once in the
back and twice in the left side. During
the altercation the horses became fright
ened and started. Fraiter called to
Chandler to stop cutting him and stop
the horses. Fraiter got up and started
with Chandler after the horses, when
he complained of feeling sick and sank
down by the roadside and expired in the
presence of Chandler and his mother.
COTTON TRADE CRISIS.
English Operatives Refuse to Ac
cept a Redaction in Wages.
London, Aug. 28.— crisis in the
cotton trade is increasing in gravity.
The loss sustained in the operation of
certain plants amounts to one-fourth to
three-eighths of a penny in the pound.
The operatives refuse to accept a re
duction in wages, and maintain that a
reduced output is the proper remedy.
A well informed writer in the Manches
ter Guardian says that the chief diffi
culty is to be expected from the par
venu section of employers, originally
workers themselves, who seem bent
upon crushing the unions by exhausting
their funds in strikes, ft urges em
ployers to secure the good will of the
workers at once, believing that the em
ployes will be willing to assist in min
imizing disaster. If this course had
been pursued earlier, the eight-hours
agitation, now such an absorbing prob
lem, might have been avoided.
