WASHINGTON, April 10.-John Roach, the
great chip builder, has had rather q nice
thing of it under several Republican admin
istrstions. He has built many ships for the
Navy, and few questions were asked by the
Secretaries as to whether or not he had com.

Secretary Whitney, however. Is not one of
the kind to indulge John Roach. or any one
else, in the old time Republican practice of
failing to give the Government full measure
for its money. When Mr.. Roach presented
himself at the Navy Department the other day
and told Secretary Whitney that he was
ready to turn over to the Government the
steel cruiser, the Dolphin, which had just
been finished by him, the Secretary said be

Roach was somewhat taken back at thfs, but

so. Secretary Whitney has q commission of

said, be made in the Atlantic Ocean.

Max YTuiIer interviewed.

matters relating to Eastern affairs submitted
last night to the following interview:
"In case of war, will the Indian troops re-

protectorate?
Max Muller-"Nobody knows what these
will do in the event OF war. They consist
OF innumerable family groups whose dwell
ing piece is uncertain, who are each governed
by separate laws and traditions, aud who
must, therefore, be treated separately.
Money will, of course, be great element IN
determining whether they will support Rus.

alone will not do. These people have strong

Gladstone's Speech-St. Petersburg Jour-

LONDON, April 10.-Even the most San
guine believer in peace would have been con-
verted last night could he have heard Mr..
Gladstone's martial statement in the House.
Old members say he was never before so pa
thetic, yet powerful. His career as friend
of Russia was in no listeners mind half so
clearly as in his own. He spoke slowly,
carefully, with purely artificial emphasis,
but all bis words were distinctly threaten
ing and the intention was altogether war.
like. The speech pleased most those who
are most anxious TO have the fight out now
with Russia.
The European press considers that both
England and Russia want time 20 prepare
for war, and that a conflict is certain.
The Journal OF ST. Petersburg states that
General Komarof's return within his lines
after driving of the Afghsns indicates that
the Russian attack was caused By hostile
acIs OF the Aigbans; thus the affair assumes
less eerious aspect and becomes merely su
accidental conflict, difficult TO avoid, con-
eidering the extremely strained condition of
affairs and the proximity OF the Russian and
the Afghan outposts. The Journal expresses
the hope that thu con fiict will not interfere
with the negotiations now in progress be.
tween England and Russia.

Special TO the Sentinel
WAsHISGIoN, April 1O.-Tne proposal that
a final resting place for General Grant be
selected in the Soldiers Home grounds is
received here with much favor. 1t would
be a fitting spot in which to lay at rest the
mortal remains of the great soldier. Tne
grounds are situated mile or two north Of
the city. They are beautiful by nature, and
the hand of art has added to their attractive
ness. Shady carriage.wsys wind through
them IN every direction, and artificial lakes
have been made refreshing feature OF the
scenery. During the summer they are the
scene OF family picnic festivities; and they
are a favorite resort of those who seek
health and pleasure in pedestrianism.

equipages of the dgnitaries of the land. as
we'll as family carriages and other vehicles

CINCINNATI, September 13.-An accident,
with loss of life, occurred this afternoon
on the Big Four Railroad, near Guilford,
Ind. The accident was occasioned by the
breaking in two of the freight train No.
IS, st-bound, and in charge of Conductor
Adam Bause. AS it was descending the
grade after leaving Guilford the engineer
discovered the accident to his train and
began to "slow up" but the detached por-
ton of cars continued to follow, increasing
by the descent of grade, aud, overtaking
the portion of the train ahead, dashed
madly into its rear, telescoping two
cars and derailing three. One
the track was loaded with oats,
into which nine men had concealed them
selves for the purpose of stealing ride.
AS the car left the rails it turned over,
burying beneath the shifting oats num-
| Der of the inmates and bursting open the
| car. Six of the imprisoned tramps man

wretches might have been rescued alive.

Of the fact that any one remained in the
upturned car, life was extinct. Coroner

evening took possession Of the bodies. Upon

Scales Lynched.

ERLANGER, KY, September lis A. NJ.
Scales, the negro who outraged FIVE
year-old girl at Walton, KY, Sunday, has
been hung to walnut tree about halfway
between Burlington and Florence. After
he was hung the mob riddled his body with
bullets. His lifeless remains now hang
dangling in the air, and the mob is shoot
ing and halloing. At Burlington the mob
experienced great difficulty in getting in
the jail The great iron doors were broken
in with hard blows. After Scales was
found the mob rushed on to him, bound him
hand and foot. In hurrying him down
the steps of the Jail the negro fell to the
bottom, cutting horrible cash in his fore
head. He was grabbed by some OF the mob
and made to run down the road to where a
spring wagon was held in waiting. Scales
was frightened almost to death. He prayed
and begged for mercy. II am innocent
said he; "old man Lunsford has done put
that on MI because would not steal Hind's

the mob. eve will fix you so you won't

the pike, when he was hung. After thu
mob got their prisoner they were pursued
by the Sheriff and posse, az hot fgh'
ensued. Several of the mo we're takel
