After it was decided yesterday at the
navy department, and SO announced to
formally accept the crusier Charleston
built by the Union Iron Works, OF San
Francisco, a reconsideration was had,
and the subject has been further discussed
to-day by the officials. 1t is said that
contractors had proposed to the secre'
tarv to deliver the vessel upon the show
ing made at the recent trial without
suffering a penalty for failure to exhibit
horse power required by the contract OF
to make another trial with certair
changes in machinery and pitch of screw
The refusal OF the department to accept
this alternative proposition it is sait
would relieve the contractors ot theil
liability to pay the penalty due to thu
lack OF contract horse power; and 1t wa;
to-day the conference was held. As th'
result of it. telegram was sent to thu
contractors which Secretary Tracy sale
he believed would result in the acceptance
of the Charleston, but its terms were moi
made public

Copyright 1889, N. Y. Associated Press.
BERLIN, November 2.-Emperor Viii
liam telegraphed to Prince Bismarck to-
day as follows:
"YnDH KIOSK, / a. m.-Have just ar
rived here. Fine weather. View beauti-
ful beyond description"
Other official dispatches give detailed
account of the meeting between the Turk
ish fleet and the German ships Kaiser
and Hohenzolern at the entrance to the
Dardancllcs. 1t was a striking spectacle.
The passage through the straits was made
under a continuous roll OF SaluteS from
| the forts.
On entering the sea of Marmora, Said
Pasha. minister of foreign affairs; Edhem
Pasha, formerly grand vizier, and Van
Radawitz, German ambassador, left the
Sultans yacht, Izedin, and were received
by the Emperor on the Kaiser. Lunch
was served on board the German war
ship. The Empress was invisible, as she
was again suffering from sea sickness
although the passage had been calm
The vessels proceeded, and were sighted
off the entrance to the BOsphorus at IL
O'Clock. A large number of vessels, gaily
decorated, followed the German ships
to Dalmabaktche palace, where the Sui
tan, attended by his minis crs and prin'
cipal court officials, awaited the coming
Of the Emperor. Upon his arrival, En-
peror William was cordially greeted by
the Sultan. After partaking of refresh
mcnts, the two monarChS drove to the
Yildiz palace in a carriage under the es
Cort OF a squadron of cavalry. The Sui
tan and Empress sat on one side, and
Emperor William and Prince Henry OF
the other. The Sultan exchanged few
phrases in French with each of the guests
and then relapsed into absolute silence
Won Radowitz, acting under instructions
from Bismarck, will attend with Said
Pasha the business interviews between
the monarchs.
The semi-official press of Berlin no lon
ger denies the political Importance of the
visit. The North German Gazette of to-
night says that if the intentions Of tn,
Emperor are realized, the conferences al
Constantnoble will create fresh guaran
tees of peace, based upon the genera
principles of Bismarck's policy, and viii
strengthen the Drieband and further
assure the well being and prosperity o
the Fathrrland, adding to Gcrmany''
debt of gratitude to the Kaiser.
Other papers compare thepresent meet
ing with the Empcror's visit to Osborne
House, drawing the inference that thu
result will be a similar entente cOrdiaIe
The frankncss OF these admissions of tht
inspired organs is partly due to advice'
from st. Petersburg that the Gar has re
lapsed under Pan-Slavist influences, tha
the changes that were in progress tt

more complicated machines.
Mr.. Demens aim is to turn out nothing
but frst-class work; work that will bea1
inspection anywhere.
Mr.. Fitch, formerly with Williamson

fitted up for gluing, fitting and finishing
such work.
Although Mr.. Demcns has already
booked a number of orders he does not

until every machine has been thoroughly
tested on his own work, andcverthing is
in readiness. This will be done in a few
davs, and Mr.. Demcns will then be ready
to receive orders.

most charming of our mountain resorts,
already popular and becoming daily more
so as it is better known. This tract was
purchased by Mr.. Henry Stewart (so
well known in connection with some of
the leading agricultural papers of the
North about five years ago, and since
that time he has been devoting his time
and means to opening, fencing and other
wise improving his extensive and valua-

president. The stock of the association
consists of 200 shares, OF the value OF
