The Christening Of Keatriee Ray.

| Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch
| New YORK, Aug. 29.-The only develop
ment in the Hamilton case yesterday was
of a pathetic nature. Sunday evening, it
appears, the child of the Hamiltons was
chrlstened. The baptism took place in the
| Protestant Episcopal church of ST. James
According to the ritual of the established
church, the clergyman asked whether any
| person present desired to be baptised or to
offer child for conservation to the church.
A nurse in a bob cap and apron arose from
| her place in a pew near the chancel and
stepped forward. At the same moment a
distinguished looking man and handsomely
dressed woman came forward with the
nurse and reverently bowed their heads
| The baby was taken to the font, and the
minister taking it in his arms, asked who
presented the child for baptism. In q clear,
unfaltering voice the man replied, "Robert
! Ray"
"Who is the mother of this child" asked
the clergyman.
'Evangeline L. Ray was the response.
Then in answer to the name that was to
be bestowed, the father replied that the
babe was to De called Beatrice Ray, and in
the church registry the following entry
was made;
'August IS, 1889. Beatrice Ray Parents,
Robert Ray and Evangeline L. Ray, of New
! York city, by Rev. James f. Powers. Date
| of birth of baptized, December II, 1851
The persons who gave the name of Mr..
and Mrs. Ray were in reality Robert Ray
Hamilton and his wife. What reason ex-
listed for giving only part of an honorable
old name, but enough of it to indicate who
the parents really were, is a mystery

DUNKIRK, Md, Aug. 29.-Congressman
Mckinley was the principal caller on Pres

advisability of converting Congress in extra
session. Mckinley thinks an extra session
inadvisable, and that Congress could not be
well assembled, after hearing from the four

there would be but four working weeks,

sumo the responsibility of this action,

aid, United States fish commissioner, who
yesterday returned to Washington from a
tour of inspection of the fish commission
stations on the west coast and the interior
states, made thorough inspection Of
the waters of the Yellowstone National
park for the purpose of ascertaining what
varieties of fish are best suited to them
The area in the park entirely without fish
amounts to about fifteen hundred square
miles, and includes the headwaters of sew
eral small rivers and their tributaries
Commissioner Mcdonald intends at an
early day to plant 5000 yearly eastern
brook trout in the middle stream of the
west fork of Gardner river, about the cas-
cades. He will at the same time send a
party with one of the commissions cars
to collect native black spotted trout in
Gardner river and place these fish in the
east fork of the river about the falls. This
party will also collect native whitetish Of
Gardner river for the purpose of stocking
some of the small lakes. This will be the
beginning of very extensive piscicultural
work which it is the intention of the COM

the park. Next spring it is proposed to
stock lakes ShOshone and Louis with Lock
haven trout and salmon, and Madison river

THE CRUISER yESUVIUS.
Nice Legal Questions May Arise When it
Comes to a Settlement

Comes to Settlement.
WASHINGTON, Aug. CIT appears prob
able that when point of settlement is
reached between the navy department and
the contractors for furnishing the dyna-
mite cruiser Vesuvius, some intricate legal
questions will have to be disposed of Al
though built by the Cramps, the vessel
was contracted for by the Pneumatic Dy-
Mantle Gun company, which sub-let the
contract. Before Secretary Whitney re-
tired he accepted the vessel so far as
speed, range and accuracy of fire were CON
cerned, but required proof of rapidity of
fire. This last requirement has never
been met, owing to a series of unfortunate
accidents to the machinery. 1t is under
stood that the contractors will claim that
the vessel was accepted, and they relieved
from the heavy penalties NOW $500 a day.
which would be due if it should be held
that the government never accepted the
vessel. A point resembling this was made
early in Secretary Whitney's administra-
ton respecting one of Roach's vessels,
which had been accepted by his predeces-
sOr, but Secretary Whitney held that the
vessel had not been legally accepted
