t~ranspired in the history Of Japanese
progress, which is iournalistically 70.

On March 3. 1876. in the presence Of
His Imperial Majesty, the Mikado, tho
principal officers Of tho Imperial house,
hold. the great Ministers OF State, and
tho Ministers and officers Of the Impo-
rial Marine. was launched from the I'm.
perial Dockyari. Yokosuka, the first
ship-of.war which has been built in
Japan. When the dog-shores were
knocked away. tho first man-of-wa
built in japan vas afloat. to tho very
evident qualification Of His Imperial
Majesty and the vast crowd who had as
ssmblsd TO witness this, TO them, unu-
sual sight. The Seiki is q gun.vesssl OF
1000 tons. and will 30 armed with heavy
guns recently arrived from England.
The following are her principal dimen-

81 feet 0 inches; dmught when ready
for sea, II feet O inches; depth,
q feet G inches. She was COM
menced in July. 1873. and is built en-.
tifely Of a native wood called kiynki;
she has very fine lines, and is expected

The whole Of the work OF building the
ship, the construction OF the machinery
and boilers, has been done by native
workmen. under foreign superintend-
snce. This dock-yard employs contin.
uously upward OF 400 hands. aud Is the
only establishment at which the repairs
Of the ships OF the imperial marine arc
effected. 1t has q very extensive plant

SAX FRArcrsco. Junsil.-A report Of
an atrocious outrage committed by q
husband upon his wife was brought to
the City Hall this afternoon. Tho cir
cumstances are these: John Buchanan
and wife have been residing in a house
on tho corner Of broadway and Jones
street. For n week past II has been oh.
served by the ncighbors that the house
was kept constantly closed. Tho only
person seen about the premises was the
husband. who went away In the norm
ing and rstuIncd In the evening. II
was noticed that he always licked the
door when he went away. and that he
came home intoxicated. A lady, whose
residence ovsrlooks the house, took q
eursoJ survey Of the apparently desert.
ed domicile to-day by means OF an opera
glass, and discovered o person lying in
bed. Who was found to 30 Mrs, Buchan-
an. She was ~speechlsss and covered
with bruises. A physician was sent for,
and he pronounced her ~ DO slowly dy-
ing from starvation and exhaustion.
Buchanan has been on q spree for six
days. during which time he has kept his
wife q close prisoner. Appearances in
dictate that he has boaton her in a cruel
manner. He says he has given her
Cruel every day. but IN examination re-
vealed that thore was not q particle Of
food in the house, except a little oat-
meal mush, at least n week old. In e.
PLANTATION OF the bruises. he said she
had fallen out OF bed. To another no
said abe had not spoken for q month.
As no has told several different stories,
the probability Is that they are all false.
Buchanan wa arrested ON suspicion and
lodged In the Station.house, and during
the evening was seized with epileptio
fits. No charge has yet been entered
against him. Tho woman was still
living Mt last adviccs, but hor recovery
is impossible. and death is ~momentarily
expected.

when, as tho car was going over the
