REPAIRING THE NAVY.

Secretary whitney Wants Some of His
Ships to Send to Foreign Watcrs.
The Secretary of the Navy has issued
peremptory orders to hasten the work Of
preparing the United States steamers
Atlanta, Vandalia and Mohican for sea.
1t is lntimated that he is dissatisfied with
the slow progress of the work on the two
latter vessels, The Vandalia will be
ready for sea by February l. and the
Mohican by February 10. There Is said
TO be immediate use for them, and the
orders issued to-day contemplate the
fitting out and sailing of both vessels
during the present month if possible.
1t is reported that both will be sent to
Samoa to reinforce the Nipsic, but it is
impossible to obtain official confirmation
of the report. In regard to the Atlanta,
it is said that she can be fully prepared
for sea in about week. 1t is not yet
known for certain where this vessel will
be sent. but the Secretary's orders to
hurry her preparations indicate that she
is required at once for the execution of
some important foreign mission. The
statement that she is to go to Hayti is
denied at the Navy Department. A
prominent official of that Department
said to-day that it is not likely that any
more vessels will be sent to that country
unless the state of affairs becomes more
alarming than at present.
The United States steamer Ossipee, he
said, will arrive at Port-au- Prince in a
few days, and she will be able to uphold
the honor of the United States single
handed in the event of the departure of
the Galena for a more healthful climate.
The United States steamer Boston, now
at the New York yard, can also be sent
TO Port-au. Prince in case more vessels are
needed there. The vessel is now in pro
gress OF fumigation and will not be sent
TO a yellow fever country unless abso
lutcly necessary. There is trouble i'll
prospect on the Isthmus of Panama he
said, and it is probable the Atlanta, Van
dalia and Mohican are being fitted out
for an expedition to that country. The
Trenton is already there. watching the
progress of events, but there may soor
be need Of reinforcements.

Perhaps an owner of land may sell tho same

This is q step in the direction of the

The PTTsBURG Chroniole- Telegraph,
in an editorial bias. against Colonel Will
liam Morrison, who has been speaking
deprecatingly OF the Ohio Rivers bust
ness, says, among other things for the
Colonels benefit: "Thus the water
courses of the West and Southwest cover
range of more than 10000 miles, and
one steamer that leaves the port of Pitts
burg is capable of carrying not less than
600,0 900 tons to lower ports. If Mr.. Nor
rison is particularly anxious to learn the
number of cars it would take to carry
this amount of coal TO market, he can
very easily find it by inquiring here in
Pittsburg, and it will open his eyes"
Well, we should say it would! Let's
see. Six hundred thousand tons of coal
would fill. say, 10000 coal cars and ex-
tend distance of about 250 miles. A
coal train 250 miles long would surprise

sons

Yesterdays STORM in Pittsburg and
Reading did not quite succeed in demon
strating the power of the cyclone on
strong buildings. The building In Pitts
burg was unfinished. but the Reading
mill was reported as substantial struc.
ture. The cyclone has made its reputa-
ton on country towns where buildings
are usually of lighter structure. Persons
have, no doubt, often wondered why cy-
clones do not cut wide scratches through
the great cities of the West, instead of con-
fining themselves to smaller places. The
CRITIC is not an expert windologst, but
we will venture the assertion tbAt the
reason of it is the cyclone has not the
power to damage seriously more than
one large protected building, and not
always that Cyclones swep over cities
as well as the towns. but they do not
leave enough ruin in their tracks to get
more title than very high wind. The
metropolitan wind is more fatal to
human life because it has more oppor-
tunities.

Joseph Connor,s Case.

EDITOR CRITIC: We deny the statement re-
lating to the alleged assault Of Joseph Connor
on Policeman Branson. The collateral was
clubbed by Branson that he wasunable even to
move In bed. The doctor states that Mr.. Con
nor's right arm is fractured at the elbow Joint,
and that he is badly injured about his head.
All that we can say is that IL was piece of
brutality on the part of the officer to beat n
poor, beastly Drunken man in such manner
to beat HIM until he becomes unconscious, and
then bring in the lame excuse that he resisted

Although there is rule against smok-
ing on the floor of the House, 1t is usu-
ally only enforced upon the demand Of
member, and as general thing the in
knowledge its existence.
Dockefy of Missouri is an almost con
slant smoker. He uses only good cigars,
for he says it is bad habit at best and
he will get the most good OF it.
=. Amos Cummings Of New York sits in
the front row and smokes several cigars
a day in his seat, but he blows the smoke
beneath his desk and laughs at an occa-
sional warning nod of the Sargeant-at-
Arms who stands within twenty feet of
him.
Major Martin of Texas is seldom seen
without cigar. He uses very strong
cigar and buys them usually at the Cap
itol, which is by no means a recommen-
dation as to their quality,
O'Ncill of Missouri, and Vance. of
Connecticut are habtual violators of the
rule against smoking on the floor, and
Morrow of California keeps them com
pany. The greatest smokers are generally
among the Western and Southern men,
particularly the latter No one has yet
had the temeritv to introduce pipe on
the floor save upon one occasion, during
| the deadlock over the Direct Tax bill
last session, when Southern Member in
one of the all night sittings produced a
corncob pipe, but it was speedily

CONGRESSIONAL CHIT CHAT.

The habit indulged in by some NOM
bers of smoking on the floor of the
House is occasionally the cause unpleas-

ago Congressman Mansur of Missouri
who sits in the front row and under the
eve of the Sergeant-at- Arms, lighted a
cigar and strolled back to the rear of the
hall and Joined q little group of which
Felix Campbell, Caruth Of Kentucky
and John r. Heard were members. Mr..
Mansur is q big six foot, good natured
Missourian and popular among the mem
bers. He threw himself into "A seat with
n sigh of relief, just in front of Heard,
and putting cloud of fragrant smoke
into the air remarked:
".Well, I'm glad to get back here
among some sensible fellows! There
are lot of old 'grandm others down in
front who are afraid of little tobacco
smoke" and he leaned back in his chaii
while the smoke cuIled in fantastic
wreathes above his head and floated
over towards Mr. Heard Mr.. Heard is
quick, nervous little gentleman, on
the whole, a good-naturcd man, but APT
to be irascible when disturbed, and hC
heartily detests the odor of cigar
Mr.. Mansur puffed away and Mr..
Heard stood it for few minutes, and
then broke out with, "Sec here, Mr.. Man
sur, you know / cannot stand smoking
Now, if you don't leave will"
The big siS- -footer looked at him and
