The San Francisco Soon to be Launched
The Charleston.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 1Oth.-The
Union Iron Works managers do not feel
especially pleased over the leisurely actions
OF Secretary Tracy respecting the accept
ance OF the new cruiser Charleston. They
have been given to understand clearly that
there is no question but the great ship will
be accepted by the Secretary for the Gov
ernment, but naturally the managers are
impatient for some definite action in the
matter. The delay is regarding conditions
of acceptance, but precisely what these are
the cruisers builders do not care to give
out. Financial considerations, it is said,
cut no figure in the delay.
The Secretary is regarded as a yery
shrewd business man, who desires, before
committing himself, to assure himself that
all is right. Some word from Washington
regarding the matter is expected almost
every day. Meanwhile the cruiser is
moored at Mare Island, close to the
Monadnock, the latter ship being at the
wharf, below the drydock and directly op-
posite Vallejo. Several watchmen en-
ployed by the iron works are kept aboard.
and will be kept there until the vessel is
turned over to the navy
Work on the San Francisco is going on
rapidly. Over six hundred men are busy
there and the expectation is now that the
vessel will be ready for launching about
the 26th inst.

PHILADELPHIA, October I0th.-The story
of the negro insurrectlon on the island OF
Navsssa September I4th was told again To-
day by handful of the intended victims
of the mutineeIs.
The British steamship Dorian, which ar.
rived last night, brought six of the white
officers against whom the attack was made
ana three friendly darkies. Their account
oil the lnsuTrecton is practically the same
as that already told in these dispatches.
Two of the gentlemen show the marks
of their terrible i'll usage. T. W. Rody had
to have thirty stitches on his scslp where
it was torn open by a blow from cInb
and II. A. Jones being likewise marked
besides having cuts on his face
There are 137 darkies EMPLOYED on the
island, all having been sent there from Bal

1t is Claimed that Education is the Pa
rent of Socialism and Anarchy.
LONDON, October I0th.-One good is
likely TO result from the visit of Emperor
William to England recently. Among the
many questions he asked in his blunt. in
cisive way, was one as to the percentage of
illiterate persons in England. An approxi-
mate estimate being given him, he ex-
pressed his surprise at the existence of such
q condition of popular ignorance in a
country so wealthy and so high,in the scale
of civilization. His comments were re-
peated to the Queen, who lost no time in
laying the matter before her advisers, ard
requesting them to suggest remedy. The
persistent agitators who for so many wears
kept the question of free schools before the
public in spite of their discouragipg expe-
riences, feel that there is now a prospect of
seeing their labors crowned with success,
but they complain bitterly of the indiffer-
ence OF most people of high position, and
the open hostility of others who do not
hesitate to proclaim education the parent
of socialism and anarchy, and frankly say
that the common people know too much
already

Piece in London Next Month.
LONDON. October 10th.-Gilbert and Sui
livan will come before the public in the
latter part of November at the Savoy Thea
ter with a new light opera which is still
without a name. Although the piece has
not been read yet, chorus rehearsal was
held Thursday at the Savoy with locked
doors and other symptoms of secrecy. The
subject of the new opera is Venetian. The
Doge is the principal character. By ties of
birth and association he is an aristocrat; at
heart he is a thorough republican. He
goes among the people in disguise and
urges tnem to rise and unseat the Doge.
The Council of Ten finally obliges him to
take an oath to kill the man of the people.
The populace then compels him to swear
to kill the Doge. The principal character
is apparently on the brink of preci ice,
bat is rescued by Gilbert in his usual happy
manner.

Forth in Scotland.
Some New Workers believe the B.ooklyn
bridge to be the greatest in the world, but
these statistics about the bridge across the
Firth of Scotland, TO be opened III few
weeks, disprove their belief:
This bridge has three spans across the
stream. one of which is l,7lO feet long,
while the Brooklyn bridge proper is 1,595
feet long. The space spauned by the Firth
bridge is S,09S feet, while the bridge, from
shore to shore, is 5,349 feet and inches in
length. The approaching spans from the
side are ten in number, each 16S feet long,
and on the north side the spans are FIVE in
number. The Brooklyn bridge, in Its APP
proach on the New York side, is 2 1929
feet long, and on the Brooklyn side 1901
feet, making the total length 5,989 feet,
against S,09S for the Forth.
The cost Of the Forth bridge is less than
that of the Brooklyn, the former being
$l2,500,0 600 and the latter Sl5, ,50O000 The

SAN FRANCISCO, October I0th.-In Judge

Thomas E. McCann, charged with sending
obscene matter through the mails was

month ago McCann was released upon
giving sureties for his presence in the sum
of $1,000. Two days after his release Nc
Cam went TO Victoria, B. c., and was last

When Assistant United States Attorney

Marshal Deane was then instructed TO call
McCann in the corridor. There was no re-
sponse, whereupon Judge Hoffman de-
clared the bonds forfeited.
