The Bell of the Cruiser Charleston.

The Secretary of the Navy has written a
letter to Representative Morrow, Of California,
thanking him for the information regarding
the metal in the bell Of the new cruiser
Charleston. Mr.. Morrow in his letter informed
the Secretary that few days before the cast
ing of the bell the pattern maker at the works
suggested that it would be pity to use ordi-
nary metal and suggested that each of the
workmen on the steamer contribute ten cents
in silver to enrich the composition and give a
superior ring to it. The entire force. more
than a thousand. responded to a man. The
sum realized amounted to about $3.50. nearly
all of it in ten-cent pieces. 1t was placed in
the crucible and mixed with the other metal
used in making the bell. In concluding his
letter the Secretary says: "There have been
many costly presents made to ships of the
navy by towns and persons. but there is not
ono that the department values and appreciates
more highly than this offering from the work.

HOME-RULE DISCUSSION.
What will be the Result of Balfour's
Attack.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, June 20.-The discussion of home
rule is taking practical form. Balfour has
denounced the application of the federal prin-
ciple to the British empire, and said it would
throw the British constitution into crucible
in which the house of lords would disappear.
Balfour's attack will compel the liberal lead
ers to pronounce for federalism, which they are
very reluctant to do. Morley, for instance,
took up home rule as a means of shutting off
responsibilities of getting rid of Ireland Now
that home rule means imperial federation,
there Is much gnashing of teeth and shifting OF
sides. Federation has difficulties and dangers,
but it is the only road whereby disintegration
can be avoided.
