PITTsBURG, Feb. 13.-Gov. Hoadly. of
Ohio, who was on the list of speakers at
the banquet at the Monongahela House
last night, did not speak until nearly 3
O'Clock this morning. During the course
OF his remarks in response to the senti-
ment, The Democracy of the Future,' he
said:
Let us not be unduly concerned with the
question who are to tie MIR. CIeveland's adj
ylsers or who shall be inducted into office un-
der him and them. The vital question is of
counsel, not counsellor. If the face of the ma
tfon be fXedly set and the step resoluteIv
taken toward the Democratic future, what
matter even though personal hopes and the
ambitions of many among us be disappointed?
We ask OF Mr.. Cleveland two things onlV:
First, that those Offices which directly or in
directly affect the cause of public events shall
be filled with Democrats; and secondly. that
the administration of public affairs shall
Itself be Democratic. In his difficult task of
leading the rarty in its management OF public
anairs the Democratic party will extend to
him generous and hopeful confidence. and not
Waylay him with snapDish and suspiclous

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The trial of
Gen. Swain on charges of unlawfully re-
ceiving and disposing of government for
age before the general court martial as
sembled in this city, has been temporarily
suspended. When the court met this
morning it met in secret session, and an
nOuncement was made that further pro-
ceedings in the case which was on trial yes-
teTday were postponed till tomorrow. The
circumstances attending the postpone
ment OF this case have given rise to con-
lecture that the business with which
the court is occupied in secret session is
a reconsideration Of its findings in either
the original Swain case or Morrow case.
The impression prevails that one or the
other Of these cases has been referred
back to the court by the President upon
the recommendation of the official who
reviewed the record of the case.

THE aALAsKA's" GOOD LUCK.
Bow She Arrived in New York Using a
Vessel in Tow as a Rudder.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The Gmon steam
er Alaska arrived at her dock at IL O'Clock
this morning. The giant steamship was
brought up the river by eight big steam
tugs. The Alaska left Queenstown Jan.
-, and, after experiencing heavy gales,
her ruddeT was disabled, and, falling in
with the steamer Lake Winnipeg, Capt.
Murray, of the Alaska, asked Capt. Har-
TisOn, of the Winnipeg, to act as rudder
by being taken in tow. Capt. Harrison
consented, and the two vessels started
for New York.
The plan Of utilizing another vessel as
a ruddeT, in case of the steering appar-
atus being disabled, is novel one. The
plan adopted is a simple one when un-
derstOOd. a towing hawseris is taken from
tb stem or prov of the vessel that is
tOwed and passed to the stern of the tow
ing vessel and made fast to a point called
the pivot, 100 feet or more forward OF the
stern. At a point near the stern are
fitted two purchases, one on the port and
the other on the starbOard side of the
quarterback, for the purpose of defect
ing the hawser either to the port or star
board. and, BY the angle thus made,
changing the direction of the power on
the bawser, which would change the di-
rectIon of the vessel. In other words,
any detection, either to the right or left
of the towing line, by means OF tle pur-
chases, or steering tackle, produces the
same effect as putting the helm OF the
steamer to pOrt or starbOard.
