New York, S.-The Herald says edi-
torislly: The telegraph brings US from
San Francisco, az somewhat too frequent
intervals Of late, accounts of the splen-
GJrs of the coming coronation Of King
Kalakaua. We are surprised that
American ard other foreign residents Of
the islands heve not long ago got tired Of
the sbsardities and extravaganza of thi;
ridiculous King: Those island rulers
who we're If pure native blood retained
the character Of chiefs of their people
and their rule was not without dignity
and useful purpose. Kalakaua inheritl
from his negro father tendency to ex
travagsnce and fuss, which makes him
not ruler, but a tiresome and costly
nuisance. We advise American resi-
dents on the island to take him in hand
before he has time to run material inter
cts, and bring distress upon the nRtiv
population whom he is misusing, like tn
shallow demsgogue that he is.

BOLIVIA.

Panama, s.-The American minister
to Bolivia presented his credentials on
November 4th. The vice-president OF
that republic, replying, SAID; If at any
period Bolivia ond her ally, Peru, enter
tanned hopes that the government of the
United States would take an energetic
stand in the war as pacifer in order TO
arrive at some solution Of the difficulties
in consonance with the principles of
justice, such hopes were based on the
openly declared policy of the eminent
stateanan Blaine, secretary for foreign
affairs, and on the assertions of the pleni-
pctentisry in Lima, General Hurlbnt
Manifestations proceeding from such
authorised sources would necessarily in
spire hopes amongst these nations which
we're the victims Of injustice. Neverthe-
less such expectations vanished before the
result of the Vira-DelmAr conferences,
and the declaration made by Minister
Tsescot that the good offices Of his govern
ment could not be employed whilst Chill
insisted on her conditions for peace.
From that moment Bolivia understood
that her fate depended on her own efforts,
and yonr statement confirms that belief.
Bolivia, thoroughly apprecistiBg the bene-
its, arising from peace and tranquility,
wishes that her victorious antagonist may
be so inspired by Providence that she
may enter upon the path. of justice
and right, and aid in bringing about q
settlement agreeable to national interests
and honor. 1t rests with Chill to put an
end to the misfortunes arising from the
war that now aff1icts her sister nations,
modifying pretensions for her own good
and future tranquility, and arrive at the
honorable conclusion you desire; and fa-
vored by such a termination of hostili-
ties, Bolivia Will commence to open up
its industries, and to increase its strug-
Cling commerce, and will open the couR-
try With its characteristic generosity, to
the intelligence and capital of the world
which may desire to reap rich reward
from its territories, because Bolivia
thoroughly understands that foreign i'm
migration is the principal element of
prosperity required in young countries.
Persuade yourself, Mr.. Minister, that the
people and government Of Bolivia
anxiously desire to cultivate and improve
those cordial ties which apply to unite
US to your nation and worthy govern
ment, and in the execution of your high
ministry, you can rely upon the eGca-
cious assistance and that marked
Difference to which you are formally
entitled.

LAUNCH OF A MONITOR.
The Amphritite to be Launched on Thurs.
day Next

day Next.
Arrangements have been made to launch
| the Amphritite at 2 O'Clock on Tbursdav
afternoon next. Prominent naval officers
and distinguished public meI are expected
TO be present to witness the launch.
The Naval Advisory Board, created by the
act OF Congress of August 5, 1889, pre-
sented report to the Naval Department as
to the wisdom and expediency of undertake
ing and completing the iron-clad steamers
Monadnock, Puritan, Amphritite and Terror,
and the report stated that it would be wise
and expedient to finish these vessels,
The order for the contracts for the ships
contained the provision that the Govern
ment is not to be involved in liability, and
the several contractors are to do their work,
waiting for and accepting for their pay such
appropriations 3 may be made by Congress
therefor. The Naval Advisory Board re-
ported that 1t would be wise and expedient
to finish these vessels at once.
As originally designed the Amphritite had
length over all of 1862 feet and an extreme
breadth of SO feet, with a displacement of
3,977 ons. She had two pairs of compound
inclined direct acting engines, the dame
tiers OF the screws being IL feet, and their
pitch IL feet. She had an indicated horse
power, max, of 1,600, and the speed guar
anteed was IL knots. The thickness of the
armor on the Amphritite's water-line amid
ships was seven inches, and on the bow and
stern five inches and three inches On deck
she had two layers of iron, each "a of an
inch thick. These were among the princi-
pal points in the construction as first in
tended. In 1877, when the ship was about
hall built, work was suspended on her. The
Naval Board of 1880 in its examination
recommended the substitution of compound
armor plate, faced with steel, for the simple
iron armor contemplated in the existing
plan, and various other radical changes in
the plating Of the vessel. 1t is recommended
that the original turrets, ,pilot-houses, etc. be
abandoned in favor of structure of improved
material and construction, together with an
extension of water-tight bulkheads to the
upper deck, making considerable increase
In the weight and displacement of the ship,
somewhat reducing its speed. The esti-
mated cost for completing the vessel with
the notifications proposed was 81, 1000, 400.
This includes the armament and carriages,
the cost of which is estimated at $75,60O.

the sum of $3.50, of which 81 was
for booking" and $3.50 for boat and car
fare. They were told this would cover
berths and meals, but neither were furnished,
and they arrived at Saratoga without having
eaten anything since Sunday noon. Being
p lniless, the girls went to police head

provided with meals by the newspaper re-

Iuquiring Into the Bridge Disaster.

New YORK, June Sat the inquest to-
day into the cause of the bridge disaster,
Superintendent of the Bridge Martin and
Trustee Stranahan were examined. Martin
testified that he had heard several different
accounts of the cause of the accident. To
the best of his information, a woman
had nearly reached the bottom of
the steps, and, thinking it was the
last step, looked around and fell.
Some ore above screamed; the people came
crowding on, and it was supposed the bridge
was falling and panic ensued. He con
sidered the steps essential and better than
an inclined plane, which, in freezing
weather, he thought would be impossible.
He considered the railing put up since the
accident to divide the footway an impedi-
ment. Stranahan testified that the original
plan of the bridge contemplated a railway.

SIX ROUNDS IN A ROOM.
The Black Diamond Badly Punished by a
Milesian Bruiser Named COnners.


lfnllauelpnla Times.
The Black Diamond, colored pueilist.
formerly employed at Owney Geogehan's
resort in New York and lately in Clarke's
Olympic of this city, and John Conners, a
well-known Philadelphia bruiser, fought
for $500 side in room in the southern
part of the CITY on Sunday night. Colners
won in six rounds, occupying Il minutes.
The men are middle weights and heavy hit
ters. There were nine persons, one of them
woman. including the contestants, at
the mill. The men wore trousers
and did not take off their undershirts. They
fought without seconds, and set of gloves
were within easy reach In case of police in
reference. Both men came gamely to the
scratch when time was called. The Dia-
mond led off with his right under Conners'
left ear, knocking him off his feet. He re-
peated these tactics three times during the
round. In the second the darkey had it all
his own way and sent his opponent down
three times. Conners forced the fighting in
the third round and winded his opponent
with succession of heavy body blows. The
men clinched and fell with Conners on top.
The latter got in another series of
body blows in the fourth and the Dia-
mond looked weak as he went to his corner,
In the fifth round Corners went to work on
mis- opponents head, telling him twice. He
then clinched and threw him. The Dia
mo i'd let out feebly as the last round was
called and got one in on Conners' Jaw. II
was his last blow, as Conners caught him
under the chin and knocked him senseless.
The Diamonds hacker, Harrisburg man,
is also reported to have lost several hundred
dollars in bets during the mill.
