Glaze Again
SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-A motion
for a new trial for Robert E. Glae. re
cently convicted on a charge of murder
in the first degree for the killing of Wil
liam Trewhella in the Windsor Hotel
last January, was argued before Judge
j-.. -ir, h-hnlf of the ue-
I l'unne yesieruaj. " .
I fendant it is urged that the court erred
ooin instructions to the
jury and refusing to give others, and
that error was committed when the court
sustained the District Attorney in his
refusal to produce an alleged statement
made by one of the witnesses in the
case. Judge Dunne took the motion un
der advisement.

retary, Lord Cranborne, in reply, said

take measures to prevent the recurrence
of similar incidents.

WILL BRING
ABOUT RUPTURE
NEW YORK, May 21. According to
a Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg,
Germany's reported desire to send a
new expedition against the Boxers is
looked upon at the Russian capital as
detrimental to the prospects of peace.
The Bergevaia Viedomosti comments
as follows on the Kaiser's speech re
garding the confidence of the Czar In
Count Von Waldersee:
"We do not understand and we have
no confidence in these penal, piratical
expeditions, and only understand
peaceful methods.
"It has needed much confidence in
the triumph of common sense and in
the triumph of political peace over a
policy of adventures and vagabondages
for Russia to remain calm and cool
during these long months of fruitful
deliberations and criminal expeditions,
complicating a situation wnicn should
long ago have ended.
"If the troops are being withdrawn
now the powers are merely following
the first plan mapped out by Russia;
but in all this where is Russia's con
fidence in Count Waldersee?"
is a new order of things about the tem
porary" Executive Mansion at Ciay and
Laguna streets. President McKinley is
feeling so much encouraged over the
continued improvement of his wife that
he is again taking interest in the affairs
xoing on around him.
All the reports from the sick-room yes
terday were of a most reassuring na
ture, and It is confidently believed by aH
who are near the Presidential family
that It is now- but a matter of a few
days when the return to Canton can be
made. The early morning bulletin is
sued by Secretary Cortelyou at 9 o'clock
stated tnat Mrs. McKinley had passeu
the best night since her recent Illness
began.
Petti grew's Plans.
ST. PAUL, May 20. Railroad men who
have knowledge of the plans of J. J. Hill
are positive in the assertion that former
Senator x'ettlgrew will be made the ex
ecutive head of the Great Northern
Railway system. It has been Intimated
that he would succeed President Melien
of the i-torthern Pacific, but this is con
sidered erroneous.

ONE more flag floats free aad BUr
in the ocean breezee; one mort
ship breasts the waves for the
honor and glory of the country that
gave her birth; one more champion of
steel has leaped into the arms of the
sea and has Joined the pack that fiiea
the stars a.nd stripes. Steady as an
island fortress the Ohio rides the wa
ters of the bay. and the air still trem
bles with the riot of her welcome.
With the head of the nation at her
bows, the pick the East and the
West standing tinder her beak of steel
and following her with thetr eyes and
their hearts; with a thousand vessels
on sea and thirty thousand people on
shore, and three of her sisters waiting
for her and wreathing themselves in
the smoke of their rumbling guns;
with her flags fluttering in the wind
that played around her and the swing
and sweep of the country's own gio
rioue anthem thrilling the air, the Ohio
entered history, ushered by all that
augurs success and fame and honor.
As she rests in the water now the
Ohio weighs 4,800 tons, a pretty weight
to shift from shore to sea in half a
minute and still harm no plate or
stanchion. It required weeks of care
and months of planning, for such a
weight has never slipped from the
ways of a Western shipyard, and with
the presence of the nation's highest
to watch her leave the cradle where
she had been sleeping it made an
event that will not soon be equaled.
A stand for spectators had been built
at the shore end of the ways, and
reaching over this was the keen prow
of the vessel. Just under the beak
was the launching guillotine, a little
sliding ax with razor edge, tnat was
to cut a cord and free the mas of
steel.
President McKinley was the central
figure on the launching platform. He
came early from the reception he had
been given by the workmen of the
iron works. With him were Secretary
Hay. Secretary Long. Secretary Hitch
cock. Secretary Wilson, Mr. Cortelyou,
Governor Gage, Governor Nash, for
eign consuls. State officials, General
Shafter, Admiral Casey, officers of the
navy in full dress uniform, officers of
the army, gayly gowned women and
delighted children. The stand was
draped in the colors of the flag1', and
Hilkn banners fluttered from every
corner and along the railing.
The shipyard was in silence. None
of the shops were running, and there
was nothing to take the attention of
the hundred men who, under James
Dickie, the master shipcarpenter. were
to start the vessel seaward.
Suddenly the clink of hammer on
steel resounded from below the big
hull and from every side. The word
had been given to get ready and the
men were knocking away every second
block upon which she had been rest
ing, so as to ease her down upon the
cradle that was to carry her down ttu
ways. And as she settled down into
the cradle, the timbers creaked and
squealed, and the grease that smeared
the ways, oozed out in long strings
and spattered over the wharf.
No one was allowed near the vessel
in I, , . r-.- ln nllnrrt rn.mi.nf O A t
the striking of a clock the men drove
their hammers upon their wedges and
thesplltting of timber and the sound
of falling beams mingled with the clink
of steel on steel and the cry of the
complaining cradle.
There was a sudden hush of the
hammers. Workmen ran from under
the hull like bees from a hive. The
master shipwright scanned the dock
up and down on either side, for woe
to the man who remained among the

seaward over his head. They were all
out and a knot gathered at each side
near the bow. where the triggers that
held her were ready to be sprung.
The tide held reached its height, and
with 5,000 tons hanging by a single
beam delay is dangerous. A bertbboned
bottle was lowered from her port bow
by a band of red. white and bine, and
the cutting of the rope that held the
triggers, only remained to be done.
From far down came clearly the
cry "All right." Then with a rattle of
small bells the flap on the guillotine
fell, disclosing the word "Ready." Miss
Barber pressed the button that releas
ed the knife; it shot downward and
through the cord, and the two ends
disappeared as the triggers swung
from their places.
There was a clatter of falling tim
bers; Miss Deshler swung the bottle
against the smooth steel beak and
threw its sparkling contents over the
metal, and then slowly, as if fearing to
move. then gathering way as
the full measure of her freedom burst
upon her, the stately mass of metal
glided away from those watching her.
taking with her their hearts and
their prayers and proudly unfolding to
the breezes the flag that is at once
her mission and her life. San Fran
cisco Chronicle, May 18th.
