The Storm the Worst in Many
Years.

BALTIMORE, Md, April 6.-The storm
yesterday seems to have done consider
able damage all along the bay as far as
Cape Henry. As yet telegraphic COM
munication has not been restored, and
it will be impossible to get much
news from the bay until to-
morrow. Vessels destined for this port
may pass the capeS without the fact
being known in Baltimore, owing to the
prostration of the wires. A number of
vessels, which left here Friday and Sat
urday, were anchored in the bay afraid
to venture outside, and the only infor-
nation to be obtained from the capes is
by means of reports from incoming yes
sels.All the late arrivals report the storm
in the bay the worst in many years.

"DETECTIVE" LUCAS.
He Gets Into Trouble I'm Seattle
WashingtOn Territory.

A. j. Lucas, the alleged detective who
was tried in Los Angeles last fall on the
charge Of receiving stolen goods, has
been operating his Pacific Coast Agency
up in Seattle ever since the revelations
in this quarter drove him out of business.
1t will be remembered that the London
thief, Elton, alias Silverstone, charged
Lucas with having received the things
which he stole, and having planned his
route and method of working. In the
course of trial now in progress in Seat
tie, in which one Wickersham is being
tried for subornation OF perjury, it has
come out that Lucas has been doing
some very queer work in the line of in
witness. According to the
testimony which is given by a Miss
Branter, who is the chief witness in the
perjury case, a woman in the employ OF
Lucas beguiled her to ride out in the
country in buggy. There Lucas and
Wickersham caught her and with savage
threats made her promise that she would
not testify against the latter. 1t is said
that good case can be made against
Lucas for interfering with witness, and
that he is likely t, suffer the penalty of

THE PARDON MILL.
Waterman ChOkes OFF the Revenue
of the Shysler Brokers'

VI sAAS SUI nEoAeISs
SACRAMENTO, May S.-This was
pardon Day" with Governor Water
man, and over sixty applications for
Executive clemency were considered. II
is understood that several pardons and
communications will be issued within a
lew days. The Governor desires it pub
lished as a notification to all prisoners
that it is perfectly and absolutely useless
Tor any one to expend one single and
solitary dollar in an effort to procure a
pardon. He says that all that is neces-
sary is fer an application to be made in
conformity with the rules and regulations
which have been issued from bis Office.
Applications will be candidly considered
and will receive favorable action, if
deemed worthy.
The Governor is especially vexed over
a case that has just come to light, wherein
the daughter of prisoner has paid
legal pardon broker" $500 to present the
case OF her father to the Governor, and
yet the attorney has never made the
least effort to secure a pardon for the
prisoner. The Governor has instructed
Private Secretary Boruck to write to
Wardens McComb and Aull asking them
to warn all prisoners applying for par
dons against hiring lawyers or paying
money to any one.
1t is said that the Governor has de-
cided to pardon the prisoner alluded to
solely upon the statement made by the
laughter.

Crawling out of n Tight Place.

General Vandever appeared before the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday and
made some statements with reference to
the appropriation for the Government
building that fell with establishment on
all who have kept posted in the history
of this affair. The General lays the
blame of the failure of the additional
appropriation of $4,000 upon Mr..
Eugene German. the President of the
Board of Trade. The way he backs this
statement 8 worth noting. He says that
just as he had got the appropriation well
under way in committee and all its mem
bers in favor of it, the United States
Treasurer sent for him and showed him
a letter from Mr.. German, in which that
gentleman said that the people here had
concluded that the additional appropria-
ton would be failure, and that the
Board thought it would be better to have
the work commenced on the original ap-
preparation than not at all-on the prin-
ciple, we presume, that half loaf was
better than no bread. General Vandever
says that the effect of this letter was to
paralyze all further efforts to secure
the additional appropriation. 1t is not
easy to see why it should; but it is
fact that when Mr.. German, at
the instance of the Board of Trade, wrote
this letter to the Supervising Architect
of the Treasury Department, it reflected
the general views on the subject of the
people of this city. If General Vandever
had got the additional appropriation in
SO fair way, why did he leave the
people here ignorant of that fact? He
admits that he looked upon the Board of
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce
as correctly embodying public opinion
here on this and congener subj ects. Why,
then, did he leave these bodies to grope
in the dark upon so important a matter
If we had been advised of the hopeful
situation of the appropriation, we would
most certainly not have been satisfied
with anything less. The fact is, General
Van dever was derelict in keeping his
constituents properly advised on the SUBJ
'ject, and it looks mean for him to now
try to lay the blame of the failure of the
appropriation on somebody else. He
knew. and every body in Washington
familiar with Los Angeles knew, that
building to cost less than $4,000 was
not adequate to meet the wants of the
public service in this city. That ought
to have been the governing considera-
ton, and the fact that Mr.. German wrote
letter under the belief that the addi-
tional appropriation could not be had,
when our representative in Washington
knew better, is very poor excuse for its
failure. 1t looks as if an excuse was
wanted, no matter how fimsy, and this
letter very illogically served the purpose.

Mr.. H. Il. OSBORNE, Of the Ereniag
Express, returned from Washington last
night, after having made gallant but
unsuccessful fight for the position OF
Public Printer. While we regret his
failure to secure the office, We are glad
to welcome him back to his home, where
he can do work that will be appreciated
by his fellow-townsmen, and OF tar more
benefit to the community than anything
he could do for US as head of the printing
department of the Government. AL
though We would not disparage the mer-
it's of Mr.. Frank w. Palmer, of Chicago,
the successful candidate, We are free to
say that President Harrison has made a
mistake in not selecting Mr.. Osborne.
He would have made an excellent de-
partmental officer, and would have been
the right man in the right place. Chi
cago is carrying off the prizes in this sd-
ministration by the wholesale. We
understand that Mr.. Osborne's friends
will tender him warm reception, and
make it agreeable in special manner.

LONDON, May Sin the course of his
testimony before the Commission, to- day,
Mr.. Parnell said that he fairly believed
that none of his colleagues, since joining
the Irish Parliamentary party, had had
anything to do with the Fenians.
Referring to some letters OF his, Par
nell said he had copies made from his
secretary's shorthand notes.
At this point Attorney General Web
ster said: sit seems there exists book
of copies of Parnell's letters. / would

Sir Charles Russell-"By all means. ~
Presiding Justice Hannan-''If these
letters refer to the League, they ought to
have been disclosed"
Parnell-"Your Lordships are well
come to see any letters ever wrote or
received"
Attorney. General Webster recurreing
to the examination OF Parnell's private
bank account, wanted to trace the num-
Der of the checks, and warm discussion
ensued, Sir Charles declaring that such
action would be unfair.
Justice Hannah suggested a post
ponement of the inquiry into this matter
until further documents were before the
Court.
Archbishop Walsh testified that he
came to the conclusion before 1879, that
there was need OF defensive land org an
ization, and was proceeding to give his
opinion, of the necessity for such an
organization, when Judge Hannah inter-
posed, saying that the inquiry must be
limited to whether or not Land League
was necessary.
Biggar urged that an opinion ia the
evidence had been given over and over
again by ''hireling5 of he Government"
Justice Harmon warned Biggar that he
must not make use of such expressions.
Biggar then said that unless such evil
dence was admitted the whole inquiry
would end in a farce.
The Archbishop, continuing, said that
in the course of his visits through his
diocese he had abundant means of know
ing that the League denounced the out
RACES. Many priests had joined the
League with his full approval.

The wholesalers have raised the price to
retail dealers from $40 to $12 per ton
the latter doubling the figure to con-

The coast defense ironclad, that is to
he built at San Francisco by the Union
Iron Works, will be ship of the type oil
the British barbettes Collingwooo ana
Benbow, only that she will have much
n arrover beam and therefore be capable
of much greater speed, which IS liked az
sixteen knots. The contract price is
s1,62S, 600. She will carry l1O-ton gun
en- barbette forward. This is larger than
apy gun now carried ON the great war
ships of Europe. Her displacement Will
be 5000 tons, her horsepower 5,4Oo,
and her armor will be sixteen inches
thick. She will not compare with the
most powerful vessels OF European
navies, some of which have dlsplace-
uent of $4,000 tons, which is the
measure of the Italia's displacement.
But che will be a war ship that will hold
her own as a coast defender against any
vessel European powers may be able to
bring to the Pacific waters. Ore

sters the armor of the great war
ships is made twenty-four inches
thick. Whilst ours will only be
sixteen inches of epaisseur, she
will make up for the deficit by the
pow er of decreasing her target exposure
in action above water to eighteen
inches. The question arises, at what
point will this thing stop. Arm
ors are made of "a inches to
resist shot from ne.hundred ton gun.
Now we make one-hundred and ten ton
gun that will throw shot that will
pierce amor "a inches thick. When the
armor is made to resist this last shot, we
may lock for the casting of still more
D over full gun. When it is finally con-
coded that there is no amount of resist
ance that cannot be overcome, then the
time will come for the nations to get
together and say that as there is no limit to
the power of destruction, we must neces-
salily settle our difficulties in some other
way than fighting. No sane man would
think of voluntarily fighting tornado or
a thunderbolt. When art reaches the
tornado and thunderbolt period, war will
be impossible.
