Drvwo Apparatus ok War Ships.?Profiting
by the recent events at Samoa, when the treas
ure of the wrecked Trenton was recovered by
means of a diving apparatus borrowed from
the British man of war Calliope, the Navy de
partment here has determined to equip each of
our naval vessels with a complete (living appa
ratus. By order a submarine diver is also to
be detailed as part of the complement of each
vessel in commission. No trouble is antici
pated in securing suitable men. as there are
always members of the crew who make good
divers.
The Monitor Amphitrite to be Completed.
?Secretary Tracy is vigorously pursuing his
policy, declared at the beginuing of his admin
istration. of pushing to rapid completion tho
vessels now under construction or authorized I
to be built. The Puritan was recently taken to
New York to be completed, and orders have
now been issued to make ready the Amphitrite,
another uncompleted double-turreted monitor,
lying at the Harlan A Hollingsworth ship
yards, at Wilmington. Del., to be towed to
League Island. She will be completed at that
navy-vard. greatly to the disappointment of the

A LONELY DAY.
| But Few Callers at the White House.
Twelve men called on the President to-day.
I Two only reached the dignity of members of
Congress. Six were Virginians. The whole
fraternity of office-seeker* and politicians
seemed to have determined that it was not
advisable to press their affairs daring a pro
tracted period of rainy weather. Two or three
Senators and as many Representatives, per
haps. passed np the White House walk, but
they wheeled around the portico and went to
the War, State, and Navy bnilding. Represent
ative Ben Bntterworth called to see Mr. Hal
ford, but did not auk to see the President.
I IT WAS A LONELY DAY
at the White House. The President sat at his
I desk and marvelled at the sudden collapse in
the visiting room. The few caller* there
j were came, for the most part, before the usual
reception hour, and between 11 and 12 the
President was most of the time alone.
AMONO THE EARLY CALLERS
was a fine-looking man with an impressive
manner who wants to be U. 8. district attorney
for the northern district of Alabama. His
name is Noble Smithson, a lawyer from Bir
mingham. There is a sharp contest between
him and Lewis Parsons, the organizer of the
"White man's party." They each want to be
district attorney, and it in thought one or the
other will get it, but which oue is in doubt.
Mr. Parsons has been here for a mouth, and
though he is the leader of the white man's
party, two of the strongest colored leaders in
j the state are working for him. Mr. Smithson
t has just begun to give his personal attention to
[ the matter.
MAHONE AND ANTI-MAHONE.
The Virginians were about equally divided
between Mahoneites and anti-Mahone men.
Hon. Harry Libby called to introduce Mr. P.
C<i?n.or and was uot on ? mission relating to
the Muhono protest.
i he Mahoneites, led by Asa Rogers, Mr. Ma
hone s private secretary, were \V. W. Evans,
editor of the Virginia Lancet, at Petersburg, a
member of tho Virginia legislature, and Mr. A.
\V. Harris, a colored member of the Virginia
I legislature. They called before the usual hour
and had quite a talk with the President to con
vince him that Mahone was the republican
party in Virginia and that the anti-Mahone
men and their protests were not worthy of no
tice. Mr. J. S. Browning, of Virginia," put in
ills word on the other side. He is an auti.
ONLY TWO MEMBERS OF CONOBES8.
Bowen, of Virginia, and Owen, of Indiana,
were the only members of Congress who called,
and during the whole morning not a Senator
put in an appearance. Other callers were John
. Kuhm, I niteil States district attorney at Nush
r^tf' A. Goodrich, of Florida; Rev.
J. H. Barton, of Boise City, Idaho, and ex-Sen
| ator Kellogg.
AN ALABAMAIAN WITH AN UMBRELLA.
Two minutes after 12 a tall, lank individual
J from Alabama, with one arm, under which he
carried a cotton umbrella, aijd the shoulder
minus an arm shrugged high in the air, came
to the President's door, and handing the door
keeper his card in a mysterious way asked that
it be brought back to him after it had been
shown the President, as he did not want the
newspapers to get hold of it. After he got into
the cabinet-room and was about to be con
ducted into the presence of the President his
courage failed him and he said he guessed Sec
retary Halford would do. He and his umbrella
| were switched off into Mr. Halford's room.
THE CABINET MEETING
I was of short duration to-day. It is supposed
that the Haytian commission muddle was dis
I cussed, but no positive information on the sub
| ject was attainable.
THE BEHRING SEA BOAST.
Not Regarded as of Any Consequence
by State or Navy Department Ofllcials.
Naturally enough the dispatch printed in yes
I terday s Stab that an English naval officer had,
in a tipsy conversation, divulged admiralty J
secrets that tended to show a hostile intent on
the part of Great Britain in the liehriug sea
fisheries matter, caused considerable excite
ment in this city. But contradictions soon
came in, one a cablegram from Lon
don, announcing that in the house of
commons last night the parliamentary
secretary to the foreign office gave an official
denial of the report that three men-of-war had
been ordered from the Pacific to the Behring
sea in June to protect British sealing vessels
from interference by American men-of-war.
To-day at the State department nothing
| official could be learned, and instead of mak
ing any statement about the matter the folks
there who ought to know said that there was
nothing to say.
| Ihe President's proclamation appears to
' have closed the history of the case, and it can
not be learned that there has been anv corres
pondence between the governments
of the United States and Great
Britain on the subject. According to the posi
tion taken by the United Htutes government
by Congressional declaration the juris
diction of the United States over the
waters on the Alaskun side of Behring's sea is
not admitted to be a subject for negotia
tion. Our government simply asserts its abso
lute right and admits the existence of no
question for negotiation, meanwhile officials
at the State and Navy departments are tran
quil and show no signs of preparing for an in
ternational conflict.
Naval opinions point to tho belief that the
statement that caused the flurry was merely
the drunken incoherences of a subaltern who
reallv .knew nothing about what was to
be done. Such an officer, said one official
would be very aulikelv to know
the secrets of the admiral's mail,
and it is more than probable that, heightened
in his imaginative faculties by wine and in
spired thereby to pose as one who knew it all,
he proceeded to spout forth and pose as a man
of weighty information. No anxietv is ex
pressed at the department on the score of war
with England.
Admiral Gherardi was at the department to
day, but hi* viait had nothing to do with the
rumored British invasion of Alaskan waters.

A STREET RAILROAD SURPRISE.
Unexpected Change of the Management
of the Columbia Line.
MR. HEN1T A. WILLAKD SUCCEEDED AS PRESIDENT
B* XB. Wit. H. CLAOETT?WHAT THE CHANGE
MEANS?A REPORTED *EAVT TRANSFER OF
STOCK AND PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION.
A ?;ood deal of surprise ni manifested at a
special meeting of the directorate of the Co
lumbia street railway company, called yester
day, when Mr. Henry A. Willard (who has
been president of the road erer since the late
John C. McKelden severed his connection with
it), announced his resignation. He stated that
he had disposed of his entire interest in the
company and would consequently resign. The
announcement was a severe 6hock to some of
the members of the board and they were anx
ious to learn the reason for Mr. Willards ac
tion. All that could be learned was that some
capitalist, desirous of giving Northeast Wash
ington better facilities for reaching the heart
of the city, had purchased Mr. Willard's shares,
and with the aid of a reorganized directorate
proposes to proceed to business as soon as pos
sible.
REORGANIZATION.
The first step toward this reorganization was
the election of Mr. \V. H. ClagL-tt to succeed
Mr. Willard as president. Mr. Clagett has been
secretary-treasimjj of the road ever since its
organization, ?en Mr. K. F. Baker was
elected a director to fill the vacancy caused by
Mr. Willard's withdrawal. The remaining
vacancies will be filled as soon as the con
trolling spirit, now absent from the city, has
nominated those whom he desires to represent
him on the board. Weekly meetings of the
directors will be held until all the necessary
arrangements have been made to extend the
Columbia road so that its connections will cover
all tlid most desirable routes in the city.
None of the gentlemen connected with the
new management wilf say a word as to their
intentions, and none of those who were in the
old management will say anything, because
they don't know how it was done or what it
was done for. But even the strictest secrecy
could not conceal all the facts.
WHAT A STAB REPORTER LEARNED.
A Star reporter got an inkling of what was
going on. the way in which Columbia stock was
jumping giving him all the pointer ho needed.
An investigation was as once entered upon, and
sufficient has been learned to give solid founda
tion for the announcement that in all proba
bility, before July 1. traffic arrangements will
be made by which passengers upon the Co
lumbia road will have the privilege of free
transfers to the cars of the Metropolitan street
railway company, and the compliment will be
returned. The two roads will, it is already evi
dent, be practically under one management.
the advantaoes
accruing to the people of the northeast from
this transfer are held to be of importance.
Heretofore, whenever they wanted to go any
where off the line of the Columbia road they
have been compelled to pay two fares, and
when they desired to return home there were
two more" fares. To those who are blessed with
large famliies the expense has been no incon
siderable item, and they will doubtless hail with
joy the consummation of this new deal. It will
open up to Northeast Washington, for one fare,
the railroad depots, Center market, steamboat
wharveB. North Washington and Georgetown,
and those who love base ball better than any
thing else will be able to reach the grounds
direct by transferring to the Columbia cars at
one of the transfer stations which will be estab
lished. There will probably be two of these
stations?one at 9th street and New York ave
nue, the other at 14th street and New York
avenue. The time on the Columbia road will
be quickened considerably, and additional cars
will be put on so that the constantly increasing
traffic rnav be properly cared for.
How a "majority of tho stock was secured
without the old management becoming aware
of its having been done until it was all over is
yet to be explained, but the fact that the prop
erty is in new hands is an Indisputable fact.
The Metropolitan road is also reaching out in
other directions, and has, it is undestoou, made
an arrangement by which it will work the new
Brightwood avenue street railroad in connec
tion with its city lines.
THE CASE OF DR. MOODY.
What the Indictment Here Charges Him
With.
The indictment on which Dr. Moody has been
arrested in Chicago (as stated in yesterday's
Stab), was reported to the court here on Tues
day, and charges him on the oath of La Reve
Harrison, W. E. Mason and C. A. James with
the forgery of a cheek for $50, passed upon the
National bank of Washington on October 6th
last. The check purports to be one dated New
York, October 4, drawn by W. M. Ramson A
Co. on the Sixth national bank. New Yorfc. in
favor of W. E. Mason and endorsed by the latter
to H. L. Moody. A certified copy, accompanied
by the bench warrant, was sent out, and on this
he was arrested. He is expected here shortly.
CHILDREN IN THE STREETS.
A Milkman Fined for Driving His
Wagon Over a Little Girl.
The case of John Mahoney, the milkman,
who was recently tried in the Police Court for
running over a small child named Bessie
Brown, as published in The Star at the
time, was called in the Police Court
this afternoon, and Jndge Miller held
the defendant guilty of assault. A fine of 915
was imposed.
Mr. Carrington, who appeared for the de
fendant, called the court's attention to the tes
timony given in the case. The evidence of the
defendant was particularly interesting. He
swore that he was driving slowly along
N street. There was a large crowd of children
plaving in the street. He called out to the
children on one side to lookout, and the col
ored child that was run over came from the
other side of the street.
When the child was run over several men on
the sidewalk called out ''Kill him! kill him!"
Then he drove off and did not stop until some
one grabbed his horse.
CARELESS PARENTS CENSURED.
The court sharply censured parents who sit
at their doors and windows and watch their
children play in the street without saying a
word to them, but was of the opinion that the
defendant could have managed his team better
than he did, and convicted him.
Delays on Decoration Day.
The parade of tho military and Orand Army
to Arlington yesterday moved at 10:25, and was
not so much as an hour and a half behind time,
as reported. The order was to move at 10
o'clock. Through a misunderstanding the
District national guard was ordered to assem
ble at 10 o'clock, but Gen. Ordway, with re
markable celerity, got them in line and ready
to move so that there was no delay of import
ance in consequence of this misunderstanding.
A delay in beginning the ceremonies at Arling
ton was occasioned by a mishap to the wagon
conveying the Marine band, which was stuck
at a point on the road for nearly half an hoar.

Haoehstowx, Md.. May 81.?A terrific
cyclone, accompanied with heavy rain, passed
along the upper Potomac yesterday afternoon.
At Failing Waters it crossed into West Virginia,
taking a westerly direction, destroying ?m
pletely everything in its coarse. The flrbt
property it came in contact with was the farm
buildings of Mr. John Cress we 11. who resides
iu Baltimore. This farm is tenanted by James
Wellington. The buildings were blown to
atoms. and James Powell, a well-digger, who
had sought refuge in a wagon shed, was
instantly killed. The next house to suffer was
that of Martin L. Howard. formerly of llagers
town. ^ Mrs. Howard was fatally nijured. and
Mrs. Geo. Bloom, of llagerstow'n. a visitor to
the family received serious injuries.
A BABY BLOWN A yUAKTEH OF A MILE.
A sleeping babe in a cradle at the time the
house was struck was found nearly a quarter of
a mile away, but uninjured. Other casualties
are reported, but as the wires are down full
particulars cannot be received as yet. The en
tire country over which the storm passed is de
vastated. The scene is reported to have been
terrible. The air was filled with tree tops ami
debris o' all kinds, and the roaring of the winds
was deafening. It has been raining here almost
continuously since 3 o'clock yesterday and up
to 10:30 this a. m. continues. The water is
coming down at times in torrents aud is ac
companied with violent bursts of w ind. Much
damage to the Chesapeake aud Ohio canal is
feared in soiue localities, while iu others fields
of grain are completely inundated.
THE STORM ON^ THE LAKES.
I A Fierce Gale Raxing and Vessels Re
ported Driven Ashore.
Chicago, May 31.?Yesterday and last night a
fierce gale raged over Lakes Ontario and Erie
and portions of Lakes Huron and Michigan.
All around the lakes vessels are reported wind
bound and driven ashore. At Chicago the wind
reached a velocity of 40 miles an hour, and a
number of vessels were forced to anchor out
side. At Port Huron the white caps were
driven before a gale of 4? miles, and across the
river at Sarins a fieet of big boats were bouud
up, afraid to move.
The storm is moving eastward and Lake
Michigan will probably be free from unusual
wind to-day. At 7 o'clock last night a north
wind was blowing at the following ports with
the velocities given: Chicago, 40 miles; Mil
waukee, 42 miles; Green Hay, 4tf; Port Huron.
48; Detroit. 45; Toledo. 35; Handuskv. 33.
The waves broke over the life-saving station
all day yesterday with a fury and force un
equaled since 18*7. Few boats ventured beyond
the breakwater during the day, and outside of
the big freight propellers, the arrivals the
latter part of the day were far between. For
tunately a comparatively small number of
vessels were on the lake bound for this port,
and the chances of disaster were correspond
ingly lessened.
At all points on Lake Michigan and Lake
Huron the storm is reported as extremely
severe?the worst, it was said, since May, 1884.
To-day may bring news of serious disaster on
both lakes.

between her majesty aud Lord Salisbury, as a
result of the latter's failure to vote for the bill
legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sis

lords a couple of weeks ago. It is now gener

with legislative matters, she had caused a hint
of her desire in this connection to be conveyed
to the premier. The latter, however, tori to
the blood though he is. relused to hunior'hn
august sovereign. He is opposed on principle
to the measure, has voted against it time and
again and did not propose to stultify himself,
either by changing front and supporting it or
by using his inllueuce with his colleagues in ita
behalf and remaining awav from the debata
and division himself. So he went to the house
as usual, sat quietly in his seat while the debate
was in progress and then, witn several other
members ol the cabinet, voted " No" upon the
second reading, while the Prince of Wales
with Larls Granville. S|tencer and Boseberrv
and other distinguished statesmen, recorded
themselves as in tavor of the bill. When tha
news of the defeat of the bill reac hed Windsor
the queen, it is said, waxed exceeding wroth
and expressed herself very forcibly regarding
Lord Salisbury, lack of personal" allegiance
It is Mild that the present premier's relatioua
with her majeetv are even more strained than
were those of Mr. Gladstone and the court a
few years ago.
