PrOctOr's Return.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Secretary
Proctor has returned to Washington
from his Western trip, looking refreshed
and in good health. He is satisfied with
the results of his observations, although
from the hasty manner in which the
trip was made the examinations were
necessarily cursory. One post, and
sometimes two, were visited each day,
and the trip extended as far West as
Denver. In few days Secretary Proc
tor will visit West Point, N. Y. He
says that the subject of issuing proc
iamation of amnesty to deserters has
not been discussed or considered by the
president and himself.

ltaly's New Cruiser Excites tho
Curiosity of Naval Experts.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-With some
interest naval architects in Washington
are awaiting further particulars of the
performance of a remarkable cruiser
built in England by the Armstrong;.
She is named the PiemOnte and said to
have made nineteen and a half knots
under natural draft and twenty-one
knots with forced draft. The vessel
measures $500 tons and carries engines
of II 500 horse power, nearly treble the
proportional horse power of the new gun
boat Yorktown. From the information
received at the navy depart
ment it appears that the hull
of the ship weighs but $40 tons
and the lightest possible construction,
verging closely on weakness, is indi-
Gated. Elements of safety and con-
venience, such as complete double bot
toms and handy coal bunkers, have
been sacrificed for the sake of lightness
in the new vessel, which accounts in
large measure for the wonderful speed
said to have been attained. Neverthe-
less. although the ship was built for the
Italian government, the British naval
authorities made strenuous but unSuc-
cessful efforts to purchase her from the

EDITOR MCCLURE, of the Philadel-
phia Times, is personal friend, as well
as a very extensive advertiser for
WANAMAKER, and insists that the
latter never mixes his politics and re-
ligion. That is no objection to that
theory. It was the mixture of politics
and business that caused criticism. A
Philadelphia gentleman relates an in
stance of the business alertness of the
good man not directly connected with
the spostoffice range. he attended
WANAMAKER's Sunday school after
the latter was in the cabinet and heard
him speak of the Christian character of
the president and family, and incident
ally referred to LEW WALLACE, who
wrote the campaign biography of HAIR
RIsON. He became ecstatic and fervent,
speaking of WALLACE as the author of
s.Ben Hnr, Tale of the Christ" The
narrator said he smiled as he remem
bered that WANAMAKEB had his
shelves full of the book, having been
stuck with a large edition. This, how
ever, is not matter that concerns the
public. 1t shows that man of bust
