WASHINGTON, June 27-Fcr the first time
in the history of this country we are to
have series of naval maneuvers, involving
problems of actual warfare as presented in
the attack of one of our great maritime forts
by foreign naval force, and its defense by
the American navy. For years past Great
Britain, France, Italy and other European
naval powers have annually practiced sim
liar maneuverS, sometimes, as in the case
OF Great Britain, at a heavy expense, but
the results have been SO important as to
Justify the expenditure. In the case of the
United States there has been, since the
war, no naval force adequate to carry out
the maneuverS of any value.
The squadron of evolution was formed
with such purpose in view, but until re-
Gently it was not sufficiently numerous TO
undertake the solution of the larger naval
war problems, and its operations were
limited to great gun practice and fleet
eyolutions. With the recent additions to
the naval list, however, this obstacle has
disappeared, and Secretary Tracy has pre-
pared scheme to carry out his views,
which will be given effect az once. The
first movement will be to attach the dynamite
cruiser VesuviuS and the torpedo boat
Gushing temporarily TO the squadron OF
evolution, and orders to that end have al
ready been made. out. Admiral Walker
las also been directed to prepare imme-
diately programme of maneuverS for the
summer and early autumn, which will dis
pose of the forces under his command to
the best advantage, and confer practical
training on officers and men under condi-
tons following as closely as possible those
of actual warfare. 1t is intended that the
maneuvers shall follow as soon as may be
convenient.
1t is expected that the dOuble-turreted
monitor, Miantonomah, now at New York,
viii be completed in time to take part
There will be but one torpedo boat engaged.
so that full demonstration of the efficacy
of this class of offensive vessels cannot be
thoroughly demonstrated, but all arrange
ments have been made to supply her with
fish torpedoes, which will thus be given
their first trial in American naval opera
lions.
The proposed evolutions will be of large
practical results. The defects of the new
ships, if they have any, will be revealed
and their actual capacity as offensive and
defensive will be demonstrated.
Among the results of the English naval
maneuvers were the revelation of startling
defects in the system of coaling, engine
construction and marine design, which
have since been followed by notable changes
in the English navy, and it is presumed
that valuable results will follow Admiral
Walkers maneuyers

rivalry for the Republican nomination and
some bitterness may be engendcred in the
ranks Of that party.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The result of yes
terday's cabinet meeting to discuss the
silver question is d nice little political
dodge. The coinage into standard silver
dollars of 1000, 600 ounces of silver monthly
is to be suspended for about four months.
and during that time the trade dollars re-
deemed and melted into bars under the act
OF 1887 are to De made into standard dollars,
and a lot of uncurrent fractional coin is TO
be recOined into dimes ana quarters. This
may be good politics from the point of view
of the administration, but its purpose is so
plain that he who runs may read. The sill
yer men may confidently be counted upon
to raise rumpus over the cessation of bull
lion coinage and to threaten all sorts of re-
prisals upon the party responsible. About
four months from now Will be the eve of
the fall elections Having coined up the
trade dollars, the administration can grace
fully yield 20 the demand OF the silver men
and resume the coinage of bullion. and say
TO the silver men that their votes are eX-
pected in return for resumption. This is
the only explanation heard here for Secre-
tary Fosters assertion that it viii take
about four months to coin the trade
dollar bars. \ little more than 5000, 600
of these dollars are to be recoIned.
For long time the minis seem to have had
no trouble to coin 1000, 600 ounces of bullion
into more than two and half million
Foster does not explain why it will now
take four months TO coin 81, 000. 000 But
the fact that elections are TO be held in No
vember explains why it is officially an
nounced that the secretary finds it to be his
duty to adopt this course under the para
graph in the last sundry civil appropria.
ton act, which calls for the recoinage of Z
trade dollars into standard dollars as soon
as practicable. The act of March g. 1857,
also calls for this recoinage. and the aver
age man finds il difficult to understand how
one law is any more mandatory than the
other For over four years the law has
provided for turning trade dollars into
standard dollars or fractional coinage, but
only about si.O00000 have been so used
Now il is suddenly discovered that the re-
manning s, 600, 900 must be coined at once,
even to the stoppage of bullion coinage,
and, although IL must be done las soon as
practicable - four months are to be devoted
to the work. This enables Secretary Eos
ter to announces that the matter OF the
coinage of silver bullion into standard dol
lars is not now d practical question, and
it gives the ADMINISTRATION something with
which to dicker with the silver men when
their services are most needed There will
be plenty of material for the financial chap
ters of the future history of Harrison's ad-
ministration.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
1t is Exhibited in Chicago Courtroom
One Drop of the Liquid Sets
Paper on Fire.

CHICAGO, ILL. June 27.-In the criminal
court to-day Judge Collins quashed all
counts in the Indictment against George
Gibson of the whisky trust, charging him
with conspiracy and those for having ex-
plosives in his possession. The charge of
attempting to commit the crime of blowing
up the Shufeldt distillery was taken under
amusement. During the argument the in
fernal machine which it is alleged was
found in Gibson's valise when arrested was
brought into court and exhibited to the
Judge. 1t consisted of box containing a
brass tube into which a conical steel bullet
was fitted and beneath it was string of
coil tow saturated with colored liquid.
There was long. slender glass vial nearly
full of colorless liquid. To show its dan
gerous character single drop of it was let
fall upon a sheet of paper, which spontane-
ously ignited and was instantly consumed.

THE DELUGE.
THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE
STATE OF IOWA INUNDATED.
Immense Damage Done to the Railroads.
Number of Long Bridges Washed
Away-Trafic Suspended.
More Than Mt First Reported.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 25.-Advices received
at the headquarters of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway this morning indi-
cate that the destruction by cloud-burst
in Iowa yesterday is more disastrous than
was supposed. From the damage to its
line reported to headquarters. it appears
the deluge covers at least portions of the
counties of Sioux. o. Brien, Clay. Plymouth,
Cherokee Buena Vista, Woodbury., Leesac,
Monon, Crawford, Carroll. Harrison and
Shelby, covering territory three counties
in width along the western border of the
state and five counties in length. Tele-
graph lines in this territory are greatly de-
moralized, and 1t Is next TO impossible TO
get accurate information of losses. Several
of the general officers of the road left for
the scene last night and are making Strenu-
Gus efforts to penetrate into the devastated
region. Their reports show that the main
line of the road, the Northern Iowa diyis-
ion, is demoralized from Linn Grove TO Al
ton, a distance of forty miles. That the
Neville branch, from Neville to Chollen,
forty-hve miles, is in the same condition,
and that the Onawa branch, from Onawa to
Ida Groves. fifty miles, IS also in bad shape.
These line aggregate length of 135 miles,
and are entirely blockaded by the carrying
away Of bridges and washing out of road
beds. All traffic this side and beyond the
points named Is being carried by round
about lines
On the main line from Linn Groves TO
Alton the bridge over Waterman creek. $50
feet long, was carried away and ten other
bridges, five ON each side of Waterman
creek. are useless or practically carried
away One bridge 1870 feet long, near Paul
inc is gone; also two smaller ones at Water
nan creek The track and ties have been
carried a quarter of mile from the road
bed. 1t has been impossible to learn much
in regard to the damage on the Neville
branch. The same conditions obtained on
the line between Ida Groves and Onawa. It
is reported that the bridge over Maple
river has been badly washed out. This re-
gion. where the flood was most severe, is
traversed by numerous branches, not only
of the Northwestern, but also of the
Illinois Central and Milwaukee and ST
Paul and the main line of the Chicago ST.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha roads, No
reports of damage to their lines have been
received except from the Illinois Central,
whose line from Cherokee to Onawa, which
runs along the Sioux river, is blockaded,

JACKSON, Miss, June 2+-During visit
here of Polk, livingston, Mcdowell and
Willetts, the big Alliance lights. some in
taresting developments came to the surface
relative 10 National Alliance matters The
National Alliance legislative council met iii
Washington last February and created u
legislative committee. consisting of three
members. NJ. {. nail. president OF the Mis-
souri, Alliance, was one. The function Of
this committee was to formulate measures
growing Out of tae OCala demands TO be
presented to the fifty-Second congress.
Hall from the inception of the sub-treasury
measure, has been one OF It's strongest op-
ponents. lie commenced the war a-ainst
the scheme and, with his coadjutors, has
succeeded in organizing I movement cover
iHE the entire Southern states. As is
shown from the call of the meeting of the
nt.-sub-tre1sury league at Fort Worth,
Tex, .Il', 10 next, this meeting promises
10 be largely attended. and an organized op-
position To the SUb-t-eaSury and Macune-
Ism Will be definitely inaugurated.
Polk FaS had considerable CORES pOndence
with Han, advising him to desist. and very
recently submitted to him one of TWO al
ternatiyes, either TO cease his opposition to
the sUb-treasury or tender his resignation
rs a member of the legislative committee.
Hall was given until June - 10 make his
answer. Ii Is believed this is 4 decisive
stroke Of policy 10 Illustrate the objects of
the ana-sub-treasury lcacue 4, Fort Worth,
Tex. and to influence the less intrepid OPP
poncrts O. the measure 10 steer clear of the
Fort Worth council. Those who know
President Hall say positively he will de-
cline 20 be cocrced and give up his convic-
lions, but on the contrary. he will resign
md fight the sub-trcasurN harder than ever.
L IS believed by many that this will split
the national Alliance. and an iudepend-
mt organization Will crow out of the Fort
Worth meeting As result with more lib
sral policy ~ many respects, and especially
rs TO membership.
