PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 6.-Secretary

spotted the harbor of Philadelphia, and
afterwards visited League island navy
yard, making the trip on the city tug, Viii
liam 6. Stokeley. As the Stokeley passed
the new cruiser. Vesuyius, the officers upon
that vessel saluted the secretary with the
dynamite guns. 1t was the first salute of
the kind ever given. The first regular fir
ing of the guns of the cruiser, as usual,
a salute of nineteen guns to the secretary
of the navy was fired, and the Stokeley re-
sponded with a whistle
At the navy yard Captain Seeley, com
mandent of the station, received the secre-
tary and his prrty. After inspecting aud
9lmiring the new cruiser Yorktown, the
Secretary was shown over the island. The

NEW YORK, April 6.-The baseball teams
landed at the foot of Twenty-second street,
North river, ats o'clock this a. m They
were met at the quarantine by party of
POO on steamer and given hearty recep-
ton.
The returning baseball pilgrims were
taken on boad the steamer Laura M. SStarin
from the Adriatic. The reception COM
mittee consisted of j. j. O'Donohue, John
NJ Ward, j. w. Spalding.and others, ac-
companied by actors, actresses, baseball
enthusiasts and others, to the number of
two hundred. Much enthusiasm was man
ifested on both steamers, and the air was
rent with the sound of steam whistles and
cheers long continued. All were in excel
lent health. The only members of the
party who did not return were Ed William
son and wife, and Farmer of the Chicago
team. He hurt his knee in a game in
Paris, and they remain in London pending
his recovery. They will sail for home
about week hence.
On the way up the river the teams were
greeted with cheers from the crowds ON
either shore till they landed at Twenty
second street, and went to the Fifth avenue
hotel The tourists, who have been gone
six months, and have travelled 80, 900 miles,

Of the party suffered days sickness dur
ing the journey. Financially, it is stated,
the trip paid expenses and something more.
Captain Leigh. Lynch, one of the mana
gers of the party, told an interesting story
of the trip to a crowd of eager listeners
Among other things he said: ''While our
trip was enjoyable from almost every point
of view, while we had attentive audiences
everywhere, the audiences in nearly every
case understood nothing about the game,
and consequently were unable to appre-
ciate the best points of the playing. l be-
ieve they understood and appreciated the
game better in England than any other
country we visited. You see, a game of
FOUNDERS which they play there gives them
an idea of what baseball is, but their idea, Il
am compelled to admit, is sort of hazy.
Still, we found audiences in San Francisco
when we started out on our tour who un-
derstoOd less about our game than English
audiences"
In what country was your game least
understoOd!n
''Well, 1 never thought of trying to find
out, but would say that it was less under
stood in Italy than anywhere else. l think
the game will now be generally taken up,
at least in the British Isles. If not another
tour of American ball players would not
help it, for we have shown them as much as
we ever can"

Especial TO THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
WASHINGTON, April 4-There is consid-
cradle talk in naval circles about the recent
serious disaster at Samoa and the response
bility for this unfortunate affair 1t has
been considerably heightened to-day by the
account of the English ship Calliope's
escape from the hurricane and putting to
sea, and the question is asked on all sides
why our ships did not put to sea also.
Strict disciplinarians are outspoken in
their condemnation of Admiral Kimberly.
basing, of course, their assertions on the
fact that there was coal in the fleet and not
used. 1t was in the hurricane season, and
1t is argued that if those ships were at
anchor with fires drawn, with every notice
OF an approaching storm at hand, it was
little short of criminal carlessness, and the
seYerest punishment should be inflicted
upon the officers who are responsible for it.
a court OF inquiry will be convened
which, 1t is said, will be most searching in
its efforts to get at the truth of the matter,
and II there was only coal enough to fire
one ship, 1t is claimed it ought to have been
utilized in towing the other ships out of the
harbor to the open sea. If there was no
coal, and that is the most probable theory
in the absence of any official information,
then the cause of this grave omission will
be looked into, and the responsibility To-
located where it belongs
1t does not matter, as some naval officers
assert, that the German fleet suffered the
same fate, and that for this reason nothing
should be done or said. Their own gov
eminent will have an inyes tigation, but
with that we have nothing to do. What
the court of inquiry will determine is:
whether due precaution was used by our
O1cers, and whether the terri be disaster
OF last month could have been ayerted
The official report Of Admiral Kimberly
is now on its way to this government, and

is likely to ensue between the Hudson Bay
company and the Northern Pacific & Mani
toba railroads. Bridges, late land commits
sioner of the former company, sold the latter
company twenty acres of land along the
river front, almost in the heart of the city,
for the nominal sum of $4,000. The former
company now repudiates the sale on the
ground that Bridges was not authorized to
make the deal
The purchasers have already built quite
extensively on the tract.

Especial Correspondence of THE HERALD
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Ohio Re
publicans are indulging in a good deal of
grumbling at the Presidents slowness in
giving them political appointment They
have nothing so far but the second assist
ant postmaster generalship.
The delegation have acted tremendously
in their recommendations for Office, but the
President, if the Ohioans are to be be-
ieved, acts as though he had no intention
of doing anything for them. One of the
Republican congressman from that state is
quoted to-day as saying that a continuance
of this policy on the part of the President
might ieOpardize the interests of the party
in the state this fall While Ohio has been
pretty reliable Republican state he did
not think it safe to be too confident and to
neglect things there. The Democrats had
run down their majority to $1,000, which,
i'll such state, is not too much to be wiped
out, if the Republicans are discontented
and the Democrats active. If we loose
Ohio this fall, he said, 1T means that we
will have a Democratic governor, Dem
Ocratic Senator to succeed Payne, and that
instead of sixteen members of the House.
as now, the Republicans would have six"

WINFIELD, Kas., April Ga reliable
man just from Oklahoma claims to have
learned that the boomers, hundreds Of

many streams in that country, have COM
bined on plan to burn all the bridges on
the Santa Fe road on the night of April q,
so that no trains can get into Okla

they have staked at whatever cost. People
bound for Oklahoma are arriving here

TERRIBLE FIRE IN SAVANNAH.
Many Business Blocks Burned-Great Loss of
Property.

SAvANNAH, Ga, April 6-At 6:55 o'clock
tonight a fire broke out in Hogan's dry
goods store, corner of BrOughton and
Bernard streets. Soon the fire had run to
almost every pnrt Of the building and those
in it had barely time to escape with their
lives. The fire was communicated to the
crockery store of James H. Douglas ~ Co.
Immediately east of HOgan's and it was all
ablaZe in a short time.
This building is one of the finest business
blocks in the city, and its destruction re
presents a loss, with contents, Of Sl5O,OOO.
The fire then jumped to the magnificent
fOur-stOry brick building. known as Odd
Fellows hall. 1t was totally destroyed. II
represents a loss of Sl25,OOO The second
and third stories of the basement of brick
dwelling Immediately west of this hall WEI e
also destroyed. Loss, =, GOO to $4,000
The fire next jumped from the corner of
Bernard and State streets through twelve
or fifteen brick dwelling houses, com
pletely destroying them. They represent
loss of 1000 including contents. The
air was filed with sparks, some of which
lodged in the steeple of dependence Pres
byterian church, corner of Bull and South
Broad streets, four or five blocks from the
starting point of the fire The church was
totally destroyed, as was also its hand
iglTe contiguous dwellings.
The city has only four fire engines and
all were needed in the business part of the
city. No attempt was made to fight the
fire at the church. The loss on the church
chapel and contents is $4,000: loss on
dwellings in the vicinity at least So, 900.
In the meantime the ire communicated to
a four story building used to store paints,
oils and builders material, by Andrew

tents. probably eighty thousand dollars
Across the street from this was the hand

guards battalion, which was totally de
-stroyed 1t fully represents a loss Ct
$4,000 or $4,000. Fifteen wooden dwell
ings were also burned; loss about fifteen
thousand dollars.
It is impossible to tell where the fire viii

in quite remote parts from those burning.
Charleston and Macon have been asked to
send engines. The total loss will be about
$3.50, 600 undoubtedly; insurance much less
Some loss Of life may be developed to-
morrow.
At midnight the fire is under control. In
addition to the buildings already mentioned
the fire swept away all structures on each
side of Whitaker street between York
and South Broadway. They were notofne
buildings but will probably add S25, 900
to the losses mentioned in the earlier dis
patches.
THE fire also swept along the north side
house of Bull street. No loss of life

promptly started their fire companies, but
were turned back before reaching here.

The Growing Grain.

WASHINGTON, April 6-The weather
crop bulletin issued by the signal service for
the week ending April 6,says: The weather
during the week was generally favorable
to the growing crops in the southern states.
In the winter wheat region, extending
from Ohio to Kansas and Nebraska, rains
during the week affected the growing crops
favorably. The season is well advanced
and crops are in good condition.
But there is generally defc-
iency in the moisture throughout the
south, the winter wheat and spring wheat
regions of the central valleys and north
west. In Minnesota and Dakota, the
weather was generally unfavorable and
high winds with destructive prairie fires
interrupted farm work, which, however, is
well advanced. In New England the
grounds generally covered with snow and
but little farm work has been cOmpleted.

RUSSELL HARRISON EXPLAINS.
He VIII Make Such RetractiOn as the Com.
mercial Advertiser Did.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Russell Harrison
makes the following statement relative to
the suit for liable which Colonel John
Schuyler Crosby threatened to bring
against him, in case Harrison refuses to
make personal apology for the clipping
reprinted from Buffalo paper in the LtUe
Stock Journal Company, of which Harrison
was at the time president, and which article
was construed to have charged Colonel
Crosby with a theft of jewels from Wash
ington lady:
II am willing the Live Stock Journal shall
make retraction. The impression has
been given to the public that am editor of
the Lire Stock Journal. This is not the
case now, nor was it at the time the story
was presented.
1t seems to me that Colonel Crosby's
demand for a personal apology is unusual
and unreasonable, and that he should be
satisfied with the same sort of retraction
on the part of the Montana Live Stock Jour
nal as seemed satisfactory to him
from the Boston Commercial Aduer-
tiSer, which first printed the story,
and from which the Journal copied
it. The position have taken against identi-
flying myself personally with this matter
will be maintained to the end of the contro-
VerSY.

ington correspondent sends his paper a
long story Of what is believed to be nearly
an official statement of the future policy of

He declares the internal policy will not
be materially changed, but that vigorous
foreign policy will be pursued. The first
thing will be to make a strong navy. To
this end appropriations for naval vessels
will be doubled and ocean commerce be en-
Outraged.
Cuba and Samoa will be absorbed as
being of more vital interest to US than any
one else. The Nicaragua canal will be
taken under our protection, and, in general,
the external interests of our nation will be
looked after as the most necessary thing
now to be considered for our future
welfare

So far as it relates to the boorish conduct
and profane language charged in your arti-
Gle, deny the truth of it. No one employed

under the circumstances as related, and it
is well understood by all that the conduct

not for an instant be tolerated
1t is true that the accommodations on the
Utah 81 Northern are sometimes not so
generous as would be desired, but in no

stand after the train men have required
the passengers on the train to not occupy
the seats intended for passengers with

them on the floor and in the racks provided
for them. Yours truly,
