cate had secured possession of important
warlike inventions, but what they were
and how they acted was secret care
fully guarded and protected.
The first step of the syndicate was to
purchase from the United States govern
ment ten war vessels. These were of
medium size and in good condition, but
they were Of an old fashioned type, and
it had not been considered expedient to
put them in commission. This action
caused surprise and disappointment in
many quarters. It had been supposed
that the syndicate, through its agents,
scattered all over the world, would i'm
mediately acquire, by purchase or lease,
a fleet OF fine ironclads culled from vari
GUS maritime powers. But the syndicate
having no intention of involving, or at
tempting to involve, other countries in
this quarrel, paid no attention to public
opinion, and went to work in its own
way. q
Its vessels, eight of which were on the
Atlantic coast and two on the Pacific,
were rapidly prepared for the peculiar
service in which they were to be en-
gagged. The resources Of the syndicate
were great, and in a very short time
several of their vessels, already heavily
plated with steel, were furnished with
an additional outside armor, formed of
strips of elastic steel, each reaching from
the gunwales nearly to the surface Of
the water. These strips, about foot
wide, and placed an inch or two apart,
were each backed by several powerful
air buffers. SO that 6all striking one or
more of them would be deprived of
much Of its momentum. The expert
ments upon the steel spring and buffers
adopted by the syndicate showed that
the force Of the heaviest cannonading
was almost deadened by the powerful
elasticity of this armor.

A, spring tempered bars: 3 air buffers; c, iron
deck; D, teak lining; L teak braces.
The armament of each vessel consisted
Of but one gun, of large caliber, placed
ON the forward deck, and protected by a
bomb proof covering. Each vessel was
manned by captain and crew from the
merchant service, from whom no war
like duties were expected. The fighting
operations were in charge of a small
body of men, composed of two OR three
scientific specialists and some practical
gunners and their assistants. A few
bomb proof canopies and a curved steel
deck completed the defenses Of the vessel.
Besides equipping this little navy, the
syndicate set about the construction of
certain sea going vessels of an extraor-
binary kind. So great were the facili-
ties at its command, and so thorough
and complete its methods, that ten or a
dozen shipyards and foundries were set
to work simultaneously to build one OF
these ships. In q marvelously short
time the syndicate possessed several of
them ready for action.
These vessels became technically
known as GRABS" They were not
large, and the only part of them which
projected above the water, was the mid
die Of an elliptical deck, slightly con-
vex, and heavily mailed with ribs Of
steel. These vessels were fitted with
electric engines of extraordinary power,
and were capable of great speed. At
their bows, fully protected by the over
hanging deck, was the machinery by
which their peculiar work was to be &C
complished. The syndicate intended to
cOnfne itself to marine operations, and
for the present it was contented with
these two classes of vessels.
The armament for each of the large
vessels, as has been said before, con-
sisted Of single gun of long range, and
the ammunition was confined entirely to
q new style of projectile, which had
never yet been used in warfare. The
material and construction of this pro-
jectile were known only to three men,
bers of the syndicate, who had invented
and perfected it, and it was on account
of their possession of this secret that
they had been invited to Join that bodg.

Significant things to the anti.NIn.
hone committees Who called on him
today. His remarks had n general
application III the main. Governor
Cameron, Getioral Brady and Gen.
er1l Groncr led tho committee. A
fair report of the interview, with
some of the spice taken out of it,
was furnished the press, but tho
most striking features wero sup.
pressed. Tho committee found the
President not willing to Interfere
in their quarrels. Ho said that he
did not feel authorized to Interfere
with political Quarrcls in any State,
and that when he found II divided
party his feeling was of indiiler
ence or disgust. Those who suffer
ell from lack Of harmony, no said,
should not lay tho responsibility at
his door. Tho committee quite
boldly charged that by helping Ma
homo with patronage he was bur.
dening himself with II very heavy
responsibility, and their language
was such as to practically threaten
desertion of the party if General
Mahono was recognized. Tho Presi.
dent rejected such responsibility as
they tried to fix OH him, aud said
that ho should continue to carry
out his policy Of making appoint
mchts on individual merit, without
regard to factions. Ho mado this
announcement in way that might
DC taken as II warning to politicians
generally, that when they have fac
tional fights over appointments he
will not recognize either faction.
He clearly intends to hold to this
policy, not only in Virginia but
elsewhere.

DOGGETT-CARTER.

The reports which Madame Rumor
has been recently circulating in re-
gard to one of the fair inmates of
Plumer Memorial Female College,
eliminated last Tuesday evening in
the celebration of the nuptials of
Rev. Marshall w. Doggett, of Taze
we'll county, and Miss Berta Carter,
formerly of Carroll county, who has
for several years past been intimately
connected, both as pupil ard in
structress, with the aforementioned
institution. At half past eight the
college parlors were thronged with n
happy party Of the more intimate
friends of the contracting parties,
and shortly after nine the bridal
party entered the apartment. The
bride, fair and lovely, leaning OH the
arm of her intended husband, was
followed by her brother, Mr.. George
Carter, Of Austinville, and the
groom's best man, Rev. Sam1 Gam
mon, OF Rural Retreat. They were
met In the centre of the apartment by
Rev. S. r. Preston, President of the
College, who, in few impressive
words, made them man and wife. An
elegant reception was rendered the
newly married pair by Rev. and Mrs
Preston.
Mr.. Doggett is pastor of the Pres
byterian church at Tazewell G. H.,
and is young and gifted minister
who has already made for himself n
name, and is we'll known not only in
the Synod of Virginia, but through
out the ontire Southern Assembly.
AS for the bride, her many excellent
qualities have deeply endearod her to
those with whom she has been init
mately connected in her life here for
several years past.
MIR. and Mrs. Doggett boarded
the 7:45 train Wednesday morning
for q short tour before going to
their home at Tazewell. Wytheville

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Juno 7.-Ex.Senator
Riddleberger, of Virginia, produced
n great fluttor among the anti-Ala-
hone Office seekers here late yostcr-
day by writing and posting bulle-
tin at tho Metropolitan Hotel con-
tanning several important federal ap.
pointments III his State, all the ND.
pointees being strong Malone men.
The ''kickers" wero up in arms ut
once, and the way Harrison was do
nouncod was caution to hear.
Some of them, it is reported, oven
went to the departments, late rs it
was, to demand the reason of what
they termed the gross deception that
had been played upon them by CIV
ing the bogus appointments to 9TH
ers than themselves, and wore most
agreeably relieved when informed
that the bulletin was n joke, as no
such appointments had been made.
In talking about the Virginia appoint
ments today, ex-senator heidelberg
or said that he thought Mr.. Lewis
Mckenzie, of Alexandria, should
have the Alexandria postoflice be-
cause he was tho only ono of the
CHECKERS" in his city who had tho
courage to come out boldly and say
what he thought of the President
the day he refused to hear what they
had to say. In reference to the post
Office referred to, General Malone
said day or two ago, in talking
about it, that Mr.. Corbitt, ono of the
applicants for it, was n very good
man, but that it was "beyond his
reach and above his merits"
Elk Congressman Bowen, of yir.
ginia, is still here. He says the AS
sistant Postmaster General, who
makes the appointments, approved
his recommendation for II or Is 4th
class postoffices in his district this
morning. Mr.. Bowen says he also
thinks tho administration recognizes
Gen. Malone az the head of the
party in his State and TINT tho re-
manning offices in Virginia will be
given to the men endorsed by tho
General soon after the hickers' com.
mittee shall have had their interview
with the President next Tuesday.
He says that he is pretty sure that
Captain Asa Rogers will be appoint
ed collector of internal revenue for
the Richmond, and MIR. McCaull for
the Lynchbure district.
The anti-Nrahoneites here are very
much dispirited, and are awaiting
the result of their committees inter.
view with the President next Tues.
day with great deal of anxiety.
Their last hope rests on that, and if
that be not in their favor they will
retire in disgust, as they know full
well that they will receive nothing
from Gen. Malone but his contempt
uous disregard. That they, like
drowning men, jump at straws for
support, was made manifest this
morning by the eagerness with which
they were circulating reports of the
fact that Gen. Malone called upon
Secretary Window, but was not adj
mitted to an audience, owing to the
fact that so many were ahead of him
that tho reception hour expired be
fore his turn came.
