THE DOLPHIN. ,"

Our navy is very much like man who
is always to be blessed but never is. We
are always going to have the finest navy
IN the world, but we never quite have it.
The true reason why we have not one
! this summer is on account of the defeat
of the Republican party and the triumph
of the Democratic party, which encour-
ages nothing but that which will harm
the country and bring us into disrepute.
Our navy, which was to be, has been the
laughing stock of the world, and while
many millions have been voted to place
the navy on a respectable foot
ing, still there is nothing to
show for the money, save the
the plans. Mr. John Roach was to make
the navy without peer, and yesterday,
when the Dolphin of which so much
has been said, and for which Russia,
offered some thousands of dollars more
than the Government was to pay, accord
ing to the friends of Mr. Roach, made her
second attempt at trial for approval, she
made her second failure. One gentleman
who was on the boat yesterday says that
the accident which caused the failure was
nothing for which the builder is to blame
and this is doubtless true; but the gentle
man, to have made the explanation COM
plete, should have added that the blame
for the failure properly belonged to the
Government. In fact, the refusal of the
government to accept a dispatch boat
which IN no way comes up to contract.
and proves failure every time she is
tried, is Democratic outrage, especially
when the builder of the boat is a Repub-
lican. For long time Mr.. Roach has
been in the habit of thinking he had
right, a sort of inchoate, constitutional
right, to build boats for the Government
and to construe the contract for buildinp
them according to his idea, and whether
the boat proved to be seaworthy or not,
he was entitled to the contract price. In
the case of the Dolphin ne is finding
out that the new Administration rel
ahzes that there are boats and boats, and
that it will not receive those boats |
which are built in pursuance of
contract when they do not come upi
to the specifications in every particular,
and that poor work accompanied. with
good intentions will not be taken in lieu
Oh hrst class work, which in every partic-
ular complies with the specifications and
conditions of the contract. Puck told the
story very well when it pictured Roach
as horror stricken at the idea of having
to accompany the boat on her trial trim
and offering to reduce the price contracted
for. He will learn how to make a trial
trip after while, but in the meantime

acme enc eisp, will have succeeded in
building boSSs for the navy and demon
stratine 70 the world that at last the
United States have a navy which is on
the Seas, and which is credit and pro-
lection to the country, and this will be
done by Democratic Administration.

THE FUTURE LIFE.
.sWnef Is Excellent, As God Lives,
Us Pernanent.,,

The march of the mind in its great
quest for truth is like work oftunnellng
through a mountain. Marvellous Is the
engineers sagacity that directs the ad-
vance; mighty are the forces that
slowly blast the rock; strong are the
arms and resolute the hearts that push
their way on through the darkness
toward the light beyond. But on the
mountain side the glad sunlight is poured;
every dew-drep glistens in it, every
flower drinks it, birds sing and children
play in its embrace. So, while thinkers
are working their way, there are count
less folk, simple or learned, who daily
live in untroubled and happy sense of
divine love, from which they can never
escape.
It is Life itself which, with its various
voices, teaches us the things best worth
knowing. And the voices which, come
home to us with sovereign authority are
those OF love and death,-and, for the
mothers sake, shall we add, birth? Let
one OF the chief of women interpret for
the mothers,-it is Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, speaking to two parents who
mourn their child as lost:
! o. God lent him and takes him, you sigh;
Nay there let me break with your pain:
Gods generous in giving, say l.:
And the thing which He gives. I deny
That He ever can take back again
He gives what He gives. appeal
To all who bear babes. In the hour
When the veil Of the body we feel
Rent round us-while torments reveal r,--
The motherhood's advent in power,
And the babe oriesl-has each Of us known
By apocalypse (Ged being there .agg-
Full in nature) the child is our own,
Life of life, love of love, moan of moan,
Through all changes, all times, everywhere.
| He lends not but gives to the end,
As He loves to the end. Ii 1t seem
That He draws back gift comprehend
| "Tis to add to it rather,-amend,
! And finish 1t up to your :eam, = --
! Or keep, as mother mayt0 -
! Too costly though given by herself,
| Till the room shall be stiller from noise,
| And the children more fit for such joys .. o..
| Kept over thelr heads on the shelf"
So speaks the woman. And what has
! the man to say? Here is he whom we
boast as the wisest and highest among
our American authors,-a man, too, so
wrapt in phiiosophic thought, 80 happy
in his lonely contemplation, that he
seems generally to stand apart from the
struggling, work-a-way world, where most
of us live. But the man is a father, like
other men his boy dies, and how Goes
he bear it? He put his heart into the ten
derest poem he ever wrote, the '"Thren-
ody.", He looks longingly back on just
such pictures as other parents do,-the
throng of children about the baby in his
willow wagon, led by the boy with
sunny face of sweet repose, THE paint
ed sled, the show fort, the sand castle,
the garden of which his "biessed feet"
had trod every step,-and now the boy is
gone. The lonely father thinks of it, and
will not drown or forget his grief and
slowly there comes to him the sense that
love can never lose its own. The rain
bow, the sunset, all beauty, all expert
ences of the soul, teach him new
lesson:

WhAI IS excellent,
As God lives, is permanent:
Hearts are dust, hearts loves remain,
Hearts love will meet thee again" -

The moments when such convictions
fash in-such insights, rather-are an
assurance deeper than belief but how
much can be carried forth from them in
to the common levels OF everyday life =?
There are not many of whom the world
can take testimony on these questions !;
but occasionally there is some one in
whom typical experience is wrought
out, and who has the gift of expressing
it, like Tennyson in In Memoriam =

THE FALL OF FORT PITT.

Wrecked and Deserted-The Fate of the
Occupants In Doubt.
BATTLEFRONT, N. w. T., April o.
Scouts from Fort Pitt, report finding II
abandoned and badly wrecked. An In.
dian told them there had been fight and
two of the police were killed, and that
the police and others in the fort had taken
boats in hope of reaching Battleford.
They have been out five days and should
have been here long ago. 1t looks as if
the whole party had been captured or
killed from the river banks.
The fort contained, besides the police
under Inspector Dickens, Factor Mclean,
of the Hudson Bay Company, and his
family of eight persons, and James Simp-
son, Stanley Simpson, w. B. Cameron
and Bufreisen, employees; the Rev. C..
Quinn and wife, Mr.. and Mrs Mann and
three children, Alfred Quinn and several
others.
The story of the escape is extremely
improbable, as it is unlikely that such
a large party would be driven out OF
the Fort and allowed to escape. The In
dams said that Riel threatened to take
Battleford soon. Troops were promised
for our relief three weeks ago, but none
have yet turned up. The river is low,
and no troops seem likely to arrive.
Colonel Morris is putting trench around
the barracks for greater protection. The
Indians threaten an attack.

a RUSH OF WATERS.

Terrible Destruction Caused by q Water.
spout In Kansas-A Wall OF Water From
Five to Twelve Feet High-Houses Swept
Away With Their Occupants, Involving
Fearful Loss of Life.
WICHITA, KAs., April PA dispatch
from Kingman, Kas., gives the details
of food yesterday in the Minnesota
River, caused by waterspout. The river
rose at the rate of five feet in thirty min
utes, and in little time was out of the
banks, but the people thought there was
no danger. On the water came, however,
and some small out-buildings and sheds
began to move, and almost instantly the
whole of South Main street was under a
rush of waters, which tore
houses from their foundations, and
sent them drifting down the wild and tur-
buient river, with families still in them,
screaming for help. Fifteen dwellings
were swept into the current with men,
women, and children in them, and at the
mercy of the waters. The number
drowned is not known, though four wom-
en- and one man are known to have been
lost, besides the certainty of several chill
dren.

full results of the waterspout or cloud
burst to the residents along the Medicine
River, which seems to have been the
same that filed the Minnesota to over

rolled down over the low lands east of

are known to be drowned. Yesterday
morning parties who had gone out to give
relief found men, women and children
clinging to trees, with nothing on but
their night clothes to protect them, and
some without any clothing whatever, but
still alive. Their cries could be heard as
early as four O'Clock in the morning above
the raging waters.
Three attempts were made to rescue
parties beyond the river, but each boat in
turn was swamped, and the occupants
only saved themselves by swimming to
trees.
Five bodies had been recovered up to
the hour of the writing of the dispatch,
which was sent over to the first railroad
point by mail, when another body was in
sight, but could not be reached. There
were eight movers wagons camping in

The Secretary of the Navy Making an Ex-
ample by Decapitating Extra Officious
Eoremen at Mare Island Navy Yards
Sharp Letter.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2S.-Sec.
rotary Whitney has written the following
letter to Commodore Russell, Command
ant of the Mare Island Navy Yard, In
which he directs the dismissal of the
foremcn implicated in the coercion of the
vote of that yard in former years:
Since assuming the duties of this office, my
attention has been called to the conduct of
the foremen of the Mare Island Navy Yard,
in elections in past years, particularly in
1882. After reading the testimony in the con-
tested election case of Buck VS.. Dudley, tax
en- in the fall of 1852. here is no doubt in
my mind that the vote of the Navy Yard
was cOerced and practically controlled by the
foreman, either with or without orders. The
men were compelled to take their ballots in
one or more of the foremen, hold the ballot
in sight while walking to the polls, one hun
dred feet distant, between men stationed
for the purpose of preventing any change OF
ballots on their part. and the ballot deposit
ed without the voter having had the oppor-
tunity to see or know its contents or to ex-
ercise any choice for whom he should cast
his vote. find that the same foremen who
conducted this proceeding are still at the
wards in the various departments.
Great complaint is made to me of similar
proceedings in other yards dut have al
ready read enough OF the sworn testimony
to satisfy that the men who were en-
gagged in that proceeding, as foremen direct
ing and controlling 1T. should be cleared out
of the yard, in the interests of decent gov
eminent and if any similar proceeding or
anything like it, or any attempt to coerce
the vote of the employees by foremen or
superior officers, should take place here
after, whether in the interests of the domi-
nant party or otherwise, 1 will apply a SINH
lar remedy.
Appointments in place of the persons dis
charged will be made temporarily and upon
trial, until efficient men have been OBJ
tanned
bureau officers here complain greatly of the
delays and the extraordinary expense re-
CURED to do work at the Mare Island Yards.
I ask your special attention to these mat
terS in the hope that you will cooperate
with me in an attempt to bring the Yard to
greater efficiency and to eliminate these OBJ
iectiOnable features,

THE PRECLER MURDER.

Further Accounts of the Movements OF
Maxwell, the Alleged Murderer, in San
Francisco-His Identity Beyond Doubt
The Tell-Tale Watch-A Man of Many
Aliases.
SAN Francisco CAL, April PA very
important clew was unearthed here yes
terday respecting w. H. Lennox Max
well, the supposed murderer of G..
Arthur Preller in st. Louis on April 9th.
1t is now known that this man, who lie
believed to be the same F. c. D'Auguier,
as registered here, did not sleep at the
Palace Hotel during the night he was
here. Under the influence of wine he
became very talkative at a house, which
he visited. The proprietress of the
house says her visitor introduced
himself as Frenchman, and recounted
many warlike deeds. He showed her a
diamond ring with deep claws for set
tings. The diamond was about three
quarters of karat in size. AS further
evidence of the large quantity of jewelry
of which he was possessed, he showed
her chain of about one inch links, the
alternate links being gold and platinum.
The woman also observed that he had q
three corned scar under his chin. Dur
ing the early part of the evening he spoke
in broken English, but on looking over a
photograph album suddenly calculated in
most excellent English:
ooh! that's Henry Irving and Miss
Terry" upon seeing the photographs
mentioned.
An open-faced silver watch, which he
brought from St. Louis, was exchanged
by him here for another, and has been
found. The inside of the brass cap that
covers the works is written in ink, "H.
M. Brooks.' The Importance Of this
discovery is that the name is the
same as that subscribed to
the ticket purchased from the st. Louis
& San Francisco Railroad in st. Louis,
and collected on the train from the man
who afterward registered here as F. C.
D'Auguier. A comparison of the writing
of the name on the ticket and on the
watch-case shows it to have been done
by the same person, only slight differ
ence being observable in the letter "s'' in
the word Crooks
The query is raised whether II. NJ.
Brooks is not the correct name of the
supposed murderer and not Walter II.
Lennox Maxwell. Police officials believe
the mans name to be Hugh Maxwell
Brooks, their theory being partly based
on the fact that two of the same initials
appear in both names. The man was
traced to every place he visited while in
this city, and the result confirms the pre-.
yious assertion that he left on the Austria
liam steamer

The Campbell Bribery Case.

CINCINNATI, O., April 24.-The second
trial OF T. c. Campbell for attempted
bribery OF Michael Gaeb, a Berner Juror,
began yesterday morning. Judge Rob-
ertson, one of the Judges of the defunct
District Court in the Campbell disbar-
ment trial, presided. Assistant Prose-
cutor Rufus B. Smith declined to serve,
saying that Judge Robertson had already
passed judgment upon this very case
when sitting in the disbarment trial, and,
under the circumstances, he would with
draw from the case, and, turning upon
his heel, left the room.
