NEGROES DOWN on aAKRfsoN.
CoIored Indianians Say He Need Not Elk.
pect Their Votes Again.

IYpIAYAPoLIs, July 15.-Ex-United States
Senator Bruce of Washington has been in
this city for 10 days past as the agent of
the administration, in an effort to concil-
late the colored voters, and left last night
for the east, thoroughly disguised with the
result of his mission. He found the col
ored sentiment almost unit in its OPPOSE
ton 10 Harrison, and so determined that
his efforts to conciliate it we're fruit
less. He said that he was authorized to
speak for the President and that he
had come here for the purpose of inquir-
ing why an organization had been effected
by the colored people against the Presi-
dent. He asked a plain question and re-
ceived plain answer, being told that Hair
rison had ignored the claims of the young,
active, intelligent colored men, and had
followed the old rule of taking care of the
old party hacks at the risk of party well
fare; that not one of the many promises
given the negro during the last campaign
had been redeemed, and the Indiana col
ored men were determined to resent the
Sights which they had borne so long with
out complaint.
He was told to say to the President that
every active yourg colored man in Indi-
ana is opposed IL his denomination, and
will opposed him at the polls if renomi-
mated. In interviews to-day the Rev
Messrs. Clay Banks Davis, Sissell and Others
all PROMINENT CulOreu luell, say lutb Lle
feeling among their race is intense and
that Bruce has added TO the i'll feeling
against Harrison by assuming to interfere
in the matter. The Rev. c. A. Sissell pre-
siding elder of the Louisville district of
the A. NJ, Il. church says:
AS far as | have been able to investi-
gate the matter there has been great deal
of dissatisfaction expressed by the colored
voters of this and other states over the
treatment shown the colored race by the
administration. The colored voters have
not received Offices in any sort OF proper
ton to their services
IF Harrison is renominated will the
colnred voters support him?'
No, do not think they will. They
will not vote the Democratic ticket, either,
80 will probably stay away from the
polls
who is the choice of the colored Re-
puclicans of this state?"
II know of no especial choice. but, so
far as am able to ascertain, Gresham is a
decided fayorite."

GEMS OF ART.
A California Gallery to Have $4,000
Copies of Them.

COPIES OF Ihem.
Baltimore Sun.
At the Stanford University, California,
changes are being made i'll the three upper
galleries reserved for collection of gems
of art A splendid enterprise has been
projected by Mr.. Stanford, TO supply the
university with a collection of paintings
which will rival the atellers of the world
III picturesque interest. To make copies
of all the best specimens of all the old
masters handiwork is what the Stanfords
intend doing. During their visit to Europe
last year the idea was conceived. Mrs.
Stanford proposed that the triumphs Of
medieval art should be represented to the
students of the great university. The San
Francisco Chronicle adds;
while in Europe the consent of the
King of Italy was secured to making copies
of the historic canvases in the national
galleries. Since the return of the stan
fords here they have been notified that
similar permissions have been accorded
them by the Gar of Russia and the King
of Belgium. In all three cases it was stipu-
lated that the copies should be made by
the court painters of the various countries.
Every copy is to cost 5000. The collec.
ton Will embrace every masterpiece. Re-
Gently several copies arrived from Belgium
and are awaiting a positions in the big gal
leries. IL is also intended to make copies
OF modern paintings by the masters Of to-
day. For that purpose skilled artists have
been employed. The aggregate cost of the
enterprise will not be less than $500, 000
As fast as copies arrive they will be framed
and hung, until the last is in position.
The copies will not be reduced in size and
even the framework will be initiated.
Thus, side by side, the past and present
ages of art will be spread before the stu
dents"

LEFT THEM TO DRowM.
A Young Oarsman's Cowardioe--Desert
His Drowning Compunjons

$50 @fst"htHb companions
WrLKEsBARRE, Pa, July 16.-John
McGowan, an uncle of Katie and Mary
McGowan, who were drowned in the
Susquehanna river near Pittston last
evening, says that his nieces were not
the victims of an accident, but were
drowned through the carelessness of
their escort, Walter Lane. The latter
professed TO be warm friend of the
girls. He met them at the post office at
Soclock and suggested that as the night
was warm boat ride on the river would
be just the thing.
The sisters accepted this invitation.
Some delay was occasioned in securing
boat and 1t was O'Clock before a start
was made.
At $50 Lane came ashore and said
the girls were drowned. He claimed
that the bottom had fallen out of the
boat, and that all three were thrown
into the water. He tried hard to save
his companions, he said, but they
dragged him down under the water, and
he could do nothing. He finally man
aged to tear loose from them and swan
ashore.
After the boat was brought ashore it
was found that the bottom had not
fallen out, but there was good sized
crack in it,
The brother of the girl also claims
that in his opinion there was a quarrel
in the boat between the girls and the
young man, when the latter, who is an
excellent swimmer, jumped out OF the
craft and left the girls at the mercy of
the current.
The sisters knew nothing about the
management of boat, and they drifted
around until the craft was upset.
On the strength of this opinion young
MCGOWAN had warrant issued for
Lanes arrest. The latter was arraigned
before Squire Lyons. He gave bail for
q further hearing next Thursday.
The coroner's jury will investigate the
case.
Lanes own story of the case, as told
at Pittston to-day, is in substance as fol-
lows: When within 200 feet of the
bridge and in the middle of the stream,
returning from the long row, nearly to
the island, he saw rush of water
through the stern of the boat. The
frightened girls cried and stood up,
rocked the boat violently, and the leak
ing sleiff began to sink, throwing the
trio into the rapid current. After trying
to help the girls ashore he sank to take
soundings and see if they could not all
wade in; but the water was very deep
and the girls had disappeared when he
came up.

Model of a New Ocean Greyhound Now
on Exhibition in London.

on Exhibition in London.
London Engineering,
There has been placed on view in the
Royal Naval Exhibition beautifully
finished model Of vessel designed by
Messrs. James and George Thompson,
limited, Clydebank. Glasgow, guaranteed
to steam at the rate of 23l knots an hour,
which will enable the vessel to cross the
Atlantic within five days. In view of the
divergence of opinion as to the details of
such fast vessel, Messrs. Thompson are
naturally unwilling TO give every one the
benefit Of their great and successful ex-
perience in the designing and con-
structing of modern Atlantic steam
ers, so that the dimensions, &C., are
not indicated. We understand, how
ever that the vessel is about $50 feet
long by 20 feet beam. This lines
are very fine forward, and there is a
sweetness" aft which even exceeds the
beauty of the City of Paris. The floor is
Hat, with a scarcely perceptible rise from
keel to bilge. Unlike the City Of Paris,
the new vessel will have a straight stem,
but she will have the same large area bal
3nced rndder and twin screws These are
- feet or % feet in diameter, and they are
well supported. The tube forms part Of
the solid forging, there being heavy web
between il and the internal framing, while
at the extreme after end there is attached
to the usual A frame another long tube, in
which the shaft will work in bearings.
There is only a small part of the
shaft between the two bearings work
ing outside the tubes. There are four
tunnels, and about 200 feet of the length
of the ship is left for boilers and
bunkers. The engines are to be triple
compound with four cylinders, working
-four cranks. They will probably indicate
$4,000, horsepower. Accommodation is
provided for 100 first and 800 second-class
passengers and about 400 emigrants and
all the arrangements worked out in the
Plans are far ahead, as far as regards lux
ury and comfort, of anything yet pro-
duced. The plating of the ship is carried
up to the promenade deck which runs
from end to end, and width of 20 feet on
each side is left for walking In the City
OF Paris the plating only comes to the
upper. deck, the promenade being sup
ported on stanchions. The promenade
deck in the new vessel is sheltered by a
deck above where the life boats are car
ried, while the roofs of the deck struct-
ures provide a promenade presumably
for second-class passengers. The smoking
room is forward, and the main dining
saloon aft the former on the promenade
and the latter on the upper deck, and over
the dining-saloon theie is an immense
arched roof as in the City Of Paris. In ad-
dition to the bridge forward there is one
aft both being something like As feet from
water level. There are two stacks as
masts, but they seem only for signals and
to provide crows nest for the lookout"
On the promenade deck are twelve ma
chine guns, and in other respects the YES
sci is made suitable for an armed cruiser,
the plans indicating more minute subdi-
vision even than the very adequate ar
rangement in this respect of the recently
built lnman liners.

she betrayed any emotion. Then she
flushed up, grew pale about the mouth,

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 16.-Judge
Simonton to-day rendered decision in
the case of the commonwealth against
DIR. Waller, superintendent of public
instruction, who is contesting the power
of Governor Pattison to remove him
from office, the Senate having refused
to confirm the governors appointment.
The court awards judgment of
custer against DIR. Waller, but gives the
usual time in which exceptions may be
filed. The case, it is understood, will
be appealed to the Supreme Court, in
which event final opinion will hardly
be reached before next May.
Judge Simonton holds that person
rejected by the Senate cannot be ap.
