In the several cases brought by j. Wlnslow Jones

cision OF Judge clifford OF Maine. But IL also holds
that the patents cover various claims and that In

A HERALD special letter from Yokohama, Japan,
dated on the 18th Of October, reports as tollows-
The Lackawanna Is at Yokohama. Ihis vessel Is
shortly to 20 into dock and have her screw taken
out 1t appears that the Navy Department had
ordered this vessel to be in readiness to take the
transit Of Venus party up North. But the Admiral
Of the station (Pennock) reported pack that
she was not tit Tor the service, as
she could not depend upon her boilers
for steam. Hence the. order has been
issued, that the screw Is to be removed and the
Lackawanna Is to complete the cruise under sail.
The officers are very much disguised at the order;
TOR they assert that although the vessels ma
chinery is not Ia such condition as to enable her
to make long voyage under steam, yet she could
always get steam enough to enter or leave port;
or In OF oul weather, to keep her head to the
sea. They claim now that II the screw be taken
out it Will not increase her speed to any great ex
tent as sailing vessel, while on the other hand,
in case OF encountering very bad weather her
chances OF escaping damage or wreck are reduced
to a minimum, as being built for steamer sne
cannot wear or tack like vessel built originally
as o sailer and that even small amount OF steam
would be OF vast importance to her, and perhaps
be the means or saving the vessel and crew. How
ever, the nat has gone forth.
