THE LOSS OF THE VERA CRUZ

tions. The steamer was said to be one of
the strongest and staunchest afloat. She
was as solid as iron and timber could make
her. Her seaworthiness was so fixed an
article of faith with her owner that he re-
fused to believe the accounts OF her loss
until the most incontestible evidence was
obtained, in the story of the few survivors
who have reached the shore. She had a
very strong and trustworthy crew, and an
excellent seaman for Captain. She was
well found in all respects. She was fur.
nished with life-rafts and preservers in
addition to her numerous life-boats. And
yet when she was caught in the tremendous
cyclone which destroyed her, all these re.
sources proved futile. The awful sea which
was raised by the storm overcame all her
defenses, and swept away all her life-saving
apparatus. The fires in the engine-room
were extinguished, the decks were swept
bare, torrents OF water poured down the
exposed matches into the hold, all the
boats and RATS were smashed to
pieces and carried away, and at
length, after tossing helplessly for several
hours amid the most frightful surroundings,
she either broke in two or foundered from
the weight of the water in her. and of her
seventy. nine souls thirteen only succeeded

THE SAFETY OF TEE JEANETTE.

1t is satisfactory to know that the veteran
Arctic explorer, DR.. Hayes, entertains nc
apprehension concerning the safety of the
Jeanette, and that he refuses to accept the
current reports about the probability Of
her loss. He says that Captain Long went
north fully prepared to encounter the
heaviest ice; that the Jeanette was
specially arranged for such campaign, and
that she is probably one of the strongest
vessels ahoat. He points out that the
present dearth of news regarding her is
only what was to have been expected, since
If she succeeded in forcing her way through
the ice to Wrangel's Land her subsequent
course would take her entirely beyond the
reach of communication with the world.
He does not believe that there is any reason
for doubling the success of her mission.
Should she have accomplished what she
went for it would be impossible to receive
any tidings OF her until next spring, and
even should she not be heard from then it
would justify no alarm as to her safety,
since Captain Long might have determined
to try the results Of another years work,
supposing him bafiled in his first at
tempt. The reports as to the danger of the
Jeanette no doubt had their origin in the
exceptionally severe character of the last
Arctic winter, all the whalers agreeing
that the ice in that region has never been
seen so thick before. As the Jeanette was
specially strengthened with view to fore
ing her through the ice-felds, however, it
is evident that no comparison drawn
from the experience of whaling ships can
give a trustworthy clue to her condition.

OAKLAND, September 4th.-The city is
ablaze tonight. Promptly at s o'clock the
members of the Republican Central Club, the
Garfield Fire Brigade, and all the ward
clubs formed in line south of the railroad
track on Market street. Each man wore a
uniform and bore lighted torch. Soon after
the formation of the line rocket was sent
off from the roof of the Vincent block. This
was a signal of the arrival of the guest, Con-
gresham Frank Page, and soon after cheer
from the immense throng rent the air. Bon
fires on each side of Market street were
ablaze, and amid the din of cheers and music
the procession passed up Market to Central
avenue, along Central avenue to Grove street.
up Grove to Fourteenth street, along Four
teenth street to Broadway, down Broad
way to Fourteenth TO Germania Hail.
On each side of Broadway, hundreds of
people stood, and as the carriage, driven by a
six-in-hand, containing Mr.. Page, passed the
many throngs, cheers upon cheers were given
with will. When the procession halted in
front of Germauia Hall, it was ascertained
that hardly standing room could be Obtained

How SAN FRANCISCO WILL DECORATE
This is how San Francisco will decorate on
the occasion of President Hayes visit
there 1t has been decided to decorate
only the court of the Palace Hotel, where
the President will be entertained while the
guest OF the municipality-andt the bridge
connecting the Palace and the Grand
Il otels. Upon the bridge central piece
of three figures will be placed the central
figure, that of Victory erect, while Mer-
curry and Geography recline at the foot Of
the pedestal. The whole structure will be
splendidly decorated with banner, streamer
and flag. Hanging baskets filled with
flowers will be hung from each of the four
pendants of the bridge, while festoons of
evergreen and laurel will hide the wood
work of the structure. Within the vast
courtyard is wonderful field for the dis
play of decorative art. From gigantic
golden star eighteen feet across, hung in
the center of the glass roof, depend six
streamers falling in long sweeps to the
balconies on either side. On each side of the
court are to be center pieces, composed OF
shields and flags, that Immediately oppo-
site the entrance being surinounted by a
large eagle Shields of all nations, gon-
falons and stars are woven in among laurel
festoons across the faces OF the balustrades.
The whole effect of the gay dressing is very
brilliant. The contract for getting up the
decorations has been let, and the deeora-
tors will proceed according to the designs
Of Mr.. Bradford.

GENERAL ROBERTS VICTORY.

1t is somewhat singular that such vague
accounts have thus far been received con-
corning the reported humiliation of Ayoob
Khan's army by General Roberts. 1t is
still more singular that in his first dis.
patches General Roberts speaks as though
he vas then but partially acquainted with
the results of the action. That Ayoob
Khan was surprised, and that he suffered a
severe defeat, seems certain, but that TO- .
0G0 of his troops should have been cap.
tured, as now announced, appears scarcely
credible. 1t is sufficiently wonderful that
he should have allowed himself to be taken
by surprise, seeing that he was well aware
Of the advance OF General Roberts. a
general review of his conduct since bis de-
feat of General Burrows, however, justifes
the suspicion that he had not the capacity
to profit by the great advantage he
then gained. \ bold and active com
mander, backed by an army flushed with
such victory, might have interfered very
seriously with the plans of General Rob-
erts might, in fact, have so Unanswered
as to prevent the junction of the latter
with General Pbayre's forces, and even
have defeated one or the other in detail
But Ayoob Khan seems to have been so
surprised at his own success that he could
do nothing subsequently, and his recent
overthrow appears to argue an actual inca
pacity on his part, either to retreat or to
take ordinary precautions for his defense,

The Presidential Party at Salt Lake.

SALT LAKE, September 5th.-The Presi-
Dental party arrived ia this city on a special
train from Ogden at 2:30 this afternoon, &C.
companied by Governor Murray and a com
mlttee Of Gentle citizens. A large crowd
awaited their coming at the depot, but no
cheering or other demonstrations were made,
on account of its being Sunday. The Presi-
dent and his friends were Immediately taken
to the Walker House, where they were intro
duced to vast crowd by Governor Murray.
The President, bowling, said Fellow citi-
zens of Salt Lake Under other circum-
stances and upon another day, as l see you
now, / would be glad to give expression to
the sentiments which | feel sure all strangers
must feel at the first view of this beautiful
valley but as it is, the occasion and day con-
sidered, for this WELDON and reception be
content to receive the hearty thanks Of each
and all of u.s." Brief speeches of like
nature were made by Secretary of
War Ramsey and General Sherman.
The latter, in closing, said ''We must
hurry on to California. These California
fellows have a hold on us that we can't shake
Oft they have larias round our necks. y
Mrs. Hayes was then introduced by General
Sherman, and bowed her acknowledgements
to the people, in response 70 enthusiastic APP

TIE NAVAL DEMONSTRATION.

The European naval demonstration
against Turkey appears to be at last
really determined upon, and part of the
combined fleets have already sailed for the
rendezvous at Ragusa. The attempts of
Mr.. Gla1stone's Government to explain to
the House of Commons precisely what is
expected from this demonstration, have
not been particularly lucid or successful
Apparently the feet ia to confne itself to
dumb show, unless dumb show should
prove Ineffective. But in this event it is
very doubtful what steps are to be taken,
and it is left to conjecture whether in the
last resort actual violence will be employed
In fact it looks as though the Powers were
about to put themselves deliberately in a
position to be forced into using coercion,
and perhaps this really is what they desire

in reaching the land. Il would seem that
when such a vessel succumbs to the fury
of storm, it must be hopeless to expect
that ships capable of riding out any
weather will ever be built. The cireum-
stance that less powerful vessels did ac-
tually survive the same storm is only
on the surface opposed to this theory, for
the presumption is that none OF them
really experienced the severe stress of
weather that fell to the lot OF the City of
Vera Cruz. 1t Is fact familiar to seamen
that gales often blow with very unequal
force even at distances of few miles only
1t is possible that the City of Vera Cruz
was caught in the vortex of the cyclone,
though to assume this is in a measure to
impeach the seamanship of her commander,
since it is the special business of every
master to keep his ship out of that most
dangerous position, and since the law of
storms is so well ascertained as to render
escape certain if the vessel is capable
of being handled when the storm
first breaks. It is, indeed, possible
that the necessity of hugging the land in
the course steered by the steamer ham,
pered her movements when the critical
moment arrived, but as all the seamen APP
pear to have been lost it is hardly to be
expected that this point will ever be clear
ed up. 1t is at least some satisfaction to
know that this vessel was not lost through
any parsir ony on the part of her owners,
but that everything possible had been done
There is, however, one fact.of Importance
illustrated by this tragedy, and it is the
uselessness of nearly all ife-saving inven.
tions in the most critical periods. The
truth is that the inventors OF these things
are very seldom seamen, and they do not
realize that life-saving apparatus, to be of
any use, must be capable Of application
when the height of the sea renders all
deliberate or concerted action impossible !;
when the putting together or the initiation
OF a raft would be utterly impracticable
even the buckling on of life-b
may be beyond the capacity of the endan.
gered persons. All life-saving apparatus
should be light, simple, and easily adj
justed. If not it is of no value, as this
case among hundreds of Others demon
strates
