Strange Story Concerning the
Warship Texas.
From the Mem York Stdr.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-There is curl
Gus story whispered with bated breath in
the best informed naval circles that some
secret power is controlling the action of the
navy department in respect to the armored
battleship Texas now building in the Nor
folk navy yard. 1t is believed that a de-
Hberate plan has been matured to make this
ship ian awful example, and a conspicuous
failure, for the sole and patriotic purpose of
casting discredit upon the administration of
naval affairs by Secretary Whitney.
Incredible as this theory seems, there are
facts which support it, 1t is a matter of
notoriety throughout the whole department
that Senator William e. Chandler, who pre-
coded Mr.. Whitney as Secretary Of the
Navy, and who, both in that position and in
his seat in the Senate, publicly and privately
defended and screened the jobberies of the
Robson regime, is much chagrined by the
admirable record which Secretary Whitney
left behind him in connection with our
rapidly growing new navy. He has taken
many occasions in private of deriding the
sagacity displayed by his successor, and has
thrown out dark hints of impending devel-
opments which would knock Whitney's
reputation higher than kite. 1t is now
surmised that these developments are to be
made in connection with the construction
of the Texas
This vessel is being built on plans pur-
chased by Secretary Whitney, after due adj
vertisement, open to all the world, from
English designers. Some of the most expe-
rienced naval constructors in the United
States service, who have carefully exam
ined the plans, declare that they are fatally

Early in August, sun correspondent
met on Niagara street IN this city one of

stances, and was told that the common sor-
rows of Mr.. Denton and Mrs. Eldridge had
served to draw them together, and that
they were engaged to be married at the end
of year from the time Of the loss of the
sklff in the L9ke Erie squalI
Yesterday came q New York drummer
to town with story that completely
turned the current of grief for the dead into
one of anger at the living. Mr.. Eldridge
was a physician, but he had made his head
quarters at a popular drug store in his home
village SO long that all the patent medicine
and other travelling drug men had got ac-
quainted with him. A man who drives a
wagon for a well-known line of medicines
made here had extended his route over
into Connecticut, and there by chance
met DR.. Eldridge in a drug store in
village on the sound. The drum =
mer's name is Henry Montgomery. He
refused to tell where DR.. Eldridge is living,
but says Mrs. Denton is with him and that
he saw her. The two were in nowise en-
barrassed by the meeting, but asked him to
say nothing to the reporters about their To-
cation, because it is convenient to New
York. DIR. Eldridge said that if Denton
and Mrs. Eldrid 20 chose to get divorces he
would marry the woman he had run away
with in q Lake Erie sQuall
1t would be interesting to know just how
they managed to get ashore and escape de-
lection on the railway train, but of that
they would not talk to Mr.. Montgomery.

frightening the vessel and changing the
measurements, these defects could be rem
euled, at cost of not more than 500. 900. in
an outlay OF s, 500 200. They say that ac-
cordlng to the present designs the vessel
when built will sink below the gun deck
line, so that her main battery cannot be
USED, and that she will practically be
water-logged and useless They state also
that the measuT ements for the officers

plans, VIII lap over the lower Ia t of the
null about twenty feet. Notwithstanding
these giaring defects, orders have been
issued from the department to 90 ahea1
ana nnlsh the vessel according to the origi-
nal designs.
1t is only fair to say that Constructor
bowles, who is in charge of the work on the
vessel at tho Norfolk yard, believes that she
can be built on the original plans and float
and be serviceable. but in this opinion ne
stands almost alone of the experienced Off
GERS who have looked into the matter. The
protests against wasting 81, 500, 900 simply
TO show that the Elglish plans bought bv
MIR. Whitney were defective, when an out
lay of $4,000 would correct the
defects, and when Secretary Whit
ney, If he had remained in office long
enough, would undoubtedly have detected
the defects and applied the remedy, have
become so loud and numerous that no5ice
had to be taken of them. Accordingly
orders were yesterday issued appointing a
board to carefully revise the calculations as
to spaces and weight and ascertain whether
there is a real necessity for a change in the
English designs in order to make the vessel
seaworthy and suitable for naval service. At
the head of this board is placed Contstruc-
tor Bowles, who has already put himself on
record as believing no changes are neces-
sary. Associated with him is Constructor
Gatewood, whose reputation in the depart
ment Is that of being intensely English,
you know" and the third member is the
assistant constructor, who, according to the
precedents usually followed in such cases,
will simply reduce to writing the conclu-
sions of his superior officers.
Little doubt is entertained at the depart
ment that this board will decide in favor of
continuing the building of the vessel on the
original plans 1t is said that, though the
order appointing this board bears the name
OF Acting Secretary Walker it was not of
his originating, but was brought about by
outside influence and direction from head
quarters. As to the outside and controlling
power, all rumors point to ex-Secretary and
Senator Bill" Chandler.

A Savannah Drummer's shrewd Trick.

from ute QCttntUH NUdl tTeSS
Three tobacco drummers, two from
Macon and one from Savannah, were in
town Tuesday, all eager and anxious for
customers. The Savannah drummer had
heard his two competitors from Macon say
that they were going out to see a country
merchant who does a large business, j. j.
Hodges we viii call him, becauee that
happens to be his name, and they
expected 60 sell him a large bill
of goods. Just at this time a
brilliant idea occurred TO the
Savannah knight of the grip He made up
plot with fellow drummer from another
city and looking up the two Macon drum
mers he introduced them to the other drum
mer as Mr.. Hodges. This was enough for
the two knights from Macon. Each was
more than delighted to meet Mr.. Hodges
and We'd with each other in showing him
attentions. They talked to him and treated,
and treated him and talked to him, aud
couldn't do half enough for him. The last
seen Of the trio they were
sitting in the hotel office, q
Macon drummer on either side of the
fictitious Mr.. Hodges, and the aforesaid Mr.
Hodges leaning back in his chair with 10
cent cigar in his mouth, one in each hand
and his pockets full besides In the mean
time the Savannah drummer had settled
down to business, and thoroughly drummed
the town while the Macon drummers had
been assiduously cultivating the acquaint-
ance of the supposed to be Mr.. Hodges.

Sol Smith Russell, the longtime famous
mimic, and more lately known as capital
comedian, is announced TO appear here
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next in
two pieces written for him. The first, "a
Poor Relation" is strange Intervening
of mirth and pathos, and in that respect
resembles the comedy PA, in which Rus
sell appeared here two years ago; the Sec
ond piece, Bewitched," and comedy
throughout, enables Russell to introduce
his songs and specialties. His success
in San Francisco at the Baldwin has been
great "A Poor Relation" the San Fran
cisco Call pronounces poorly constructed
dramatic work. hut Russells YALE" the
chief character in it, the same journal de-
clares, is poem of smiles and tears in which
laughter and pity go hand in hand and
shoulder each other in all the situations"
1t adds "Mr. Russell caught the large
audience at once and closely; they hung
upon his lips, and he was called before the
curtain at the end of the first act and
cheered-a compliment which he acknowl-
edged in a speech that had all the flavor of
the text of the play. Such opportuni-
ties as Mr.. Russell affords for seeing thor
ougly good acting come but seldom in this
farce comedy period. See Russell and
tLen confess, aside from his work, what
rubbish our public are compelled to put up
with in the name of histrionic art"

Clunie Opera House.

KernelTs Specially Company appeared
last night and gave very agreeable and
amusing entertainment. There were nine
distinct features" The best of these were
the trough tumbling" of the Three Car
nos" which was an exhibition of strength
and agility of superior order; the mono
logue witticisms of Harry Kernel; the per-
Torrance of the Australian comedians,
The Darrows," who are, in addition, ad-
mirable performers upon the Swiss BELLS"
the graceful and very difficult gymnas-
tic feats of the Braatz brothers, and
the remarkable ventriloquial exhibition
by Rosa, announced as 1.-The only female
ventriloauist in the world" and the better
ventriloquism of Lieut.. Travis" who
shares the number on the programme with
the lady. 1t is probably true that she is
the only enc of her sex exhibiting as a
ventriloquist. She is remarkably expert,
and has studied sound deception thor
oughly. She has smaller range of tones
than Travis, but a register, nevertheless,
that is wonderful for woman. Travis,
however, is un9uestionably the finest ven
triloquisl performer who has ever appeared
here; better, even, than the famous Blitz,
and judging from historic accounts, supe-
rior to Houdin. There is no one of the
senses through which we can be so
easily misled as the hearing, since we
can scarcely resist the disposition to locate
sounds according to their character, so
that the close imitation of sound
we have been taught by experience, indi-
Gates nearness or distance, age or youth,
etc., at once suggests TO US that it is close at
hand, remote, infantile, or that of the de-
veloped vocalism of maturity Rosa and
Travis have studied the nicely of these dis
tinctions, and acquired the art of enuncia-
ton with the vocal organs without ex-
ternal evidence of effort, in so high de-
gree, that their performances are little short
of the wonderful. Knowing what we do
of this art, it is difficult to realize that at
one time in the worlds history its practice
involved punishment by death. The
globe running" by Lille Selbini was very
good, and acquired interest from the trained
birds she introduced during her perform
ance. Miss Emily Pease, the vocalist OF
the troupe, is good balladist, has strong
soprano voice and sings with more of vigor
and confidence than of feeling. Fred
Huber and Kittie Allyne give an
extravagant comedy sketch and q
farce that has nothing to commend
1t completes the programme, which as q
| whole is very good. 1t has so strong q
fol- eign color that the dialogue of the per,
formers, TO American ears, is strange and
produces little effect, but the action and
skill of the experts of the troupe fully
| compensate for any failing" in that di.
| rection-indeed, dialogue is not at all es-
sential 10 the performance, which, as said
is generally meritorious, and in some
numbers " exceedingly strong and good
