done by the Shenandoah after Colonel

She added torty-iive men to her crew and
took in 800 extra tons OF coal at Mel
bourne. She LEFT the port on February
18th, about the time that Colonel James
had telegraphed his information TO Wash
ington. She headed straight for the
whaling fleet. To save coal she went un-
der sail, thus giving Commodore Poor
ample time TO head her oft. II was not
until April lst that she began her real
work of destruction. On that day She
found the whaling ship Edward Carey of
San Francisco lying at anchor at Assem-
sion Island. Near her lay the ship Hec-
tor from New Bedford, the Pearl of New
London, and the Harvest. All were
burned. Their owners claimed from the
Geneva Tribunal S312, ,554 80 damages.

Presidential Prixs-How Is
Was cOmplished.

WASHINGTON, April ll.-Within the
las. 4S hours Mr.. Blaine has held con-
ference with some Of those who en-
gneered his candidacy for the Presi-
dency in 1888, and who were SO griev-
ously disappointed at his Florence let
ter, declining to allow the use of his
name.
The active friends Of the secretary Of
State have been quietly at work sound
ing people III the different states, and
have come to the conclusion that he
can be nominated with practical un-
anlmity ii he will not handicap their
efforts by a public decllnation in ad-
vance OF the meeting OF the convention.
All those who have been Mr.. Blaine's
staunchest supporters in years past al g
in it, and others who have not hereto
fore been favorable to his candidacy
are also said to now be willing to work
for him.
A good deal of work was done on the
Hearst funeral train in feeling the
pulse OF the different state, through
which the journey was made, and the
engineers are now satisfied, they say,

Not Against Harrison.
At this conference Mr.. Blaine said he
could not be candidate against Pres
ident HARRISON; and when he was told
that he need not be q candidate
against" any one. but that all he need
to do was to keep still and allow his
friends to do the work, with the under
standing that he should accept the
nomination if it came to HIM. he finally
agreed to this, and it is now under.

will seek an opportunity to leave Pres

will remain aud claim that he has no

1t is said that Secretary Tracy and
ex-senator Platt are in the movement.

A "Scoop" on All the Other Papsrs-How

The detail Is of the plans tor the new
police headquarters have not been pub
lished at length in the city press more
than twenty times. Therefore, brief
summary OF late account published in
an evening paper will, doubtless, prove
interesting reading. Here is the sub
stance of 1t: Architect Meyers, of De-
troit, has rehashed his plans just to
please the Board of Public Works and
annoy the other architects, who were
given only one whack at the job. The
two boards in charge of the construc-
ton will meet this week to suggest
other radical changes. According to
the revised plans, the exterior appear
ance of the building will be somewhat
changed, but the thing will continue to
resemble building. Instead OF u sing
field stones, dornicks and hardheads,
the building will be of red brick,
squarc-faccd and cemented with a COM
position of lime and sand. The build
ing will front on one street and sIdle
along on another. The entrance will
be q door, and steps will lead to the
door. Over the door in cut letters will
be the words "Police Headquarters"
and inside the door will he police head
quarters. Up near the roof. under the
attic window, will bo inscribed "Anna
Domiuick Mlddlesex." These appro-
pirate notices were adopted after
an animated debate, by a
majority of the hoard. A minority
report was submitted recommending
the letters y. NJ. G. A. in Chinese char
acters above the door, and the words
"Tu es Dennls'' in the gable. The por-
tico will I've fioored with encaustic tile,
the design being q beautiful tessellated
border surrounding the words "Ciean
Your Feet in bright blue letters. The
space in front OF the ONCE railing will
be also of tile, the design Of which will
be rcdupllcation of the words "Don't
Spit on the Floor" The police depart
ment will occupy the building for its
headquarters. There will be the Judge,

and signal operators; also sergesnts.
