THE STORY NOT CREDITED.

No Accident thought at the War DEPART
ment to Have Happened to the Pensacola.
The Navy Department is not placing any
credence whatever IN the sensational story
printed in New York this morning 10 the effect
that boat belonging to the L. S. s. Pensacola
was recently blown up by n torpedo from
one OF the Gillian naval vessels. L; has re-
ceived q report from Commodore Mccain.
dated June 80, stating that the Gillian cruiser
Imperial had blown up one Of her own launches
With torpedo, killing two men and mortally
wounding four Others. This is thought by the
here 20 be the sole foundation for this
morning story. as there have been calculations
made at the Navy Department that show with
some degree OF conclusiveness that the Pensa-
cola could not have been in Gillian waters on the
date mentioned in the dispatch. She is now
on her way 10 San Francisco and will probably
reach there in few DAYS
appears that the report of the killing OF
the Pensacolas men contained the names of
three men Who are actually members of her
crew-Otto Schmidt. seaman. OF New York; VIM.
Hayes. carpenter and caiker. OF New York. and
george I. fecSham, seaman apprentice. first
class, OF Boston. But the other IN names given.
y. h Dykeman and Teddy o Eogrke. are not
found on the muster .ol of the ship
Tor the quarter ending March 81. 1881. This
mixture oil truth and untruth is very confusing
TO the officers OF the Navy Department. who.
however. believe that the story is but an oN-
aggeratcd yarn sprinSinS from the accident to
the Imperial sboat growing in its transmission.

HIS STRONG ARM SAVED HIM.
Capt. Aliens Battle With the Waves of LAX,
Michigan,

CHICAGO, July 25.-Capt. Alfred Hedberg of
the fifteenth United States infantry. stationed
at Fort Sheridan, procured a small sail boat
yesterday afternoon and taking with him a
twelve year-old lad who was visiting him and
Private Meyer of his company started GU: on
the lake.
When about half mile from the shore the
boat capsized. The military post was quickly
alarmed with fully a thousand persons, who
could see the three persons clinging to the boat
Soldiers hurriedly dragged out two rubber
boats, the others being away from the post.
These were quickly inflated and launched, but
the waves beat them back to the shore. sud
denly Private Meyer parted from his compan-
ions and started to swim ashore. He rode the
waves bravely. Cheers of the men and women s
cries encouraged him. Desperate but vain eff
forts were made to pull toward him in the
rubber boats. He continued the struggle until
only 200 feet remained between him and tho
shore, when he sank under the waves and was
seen no more. The waves carried Capt He'd
berg, who held the boy on one arm and chung
to the boat with the other, farther and farther
from shore.
When two miles out in the lake the rubber
boat overlook the wreck. With the greatest
difficulty the two were taken aboard, for all
were exhausted. For three hours the powerful
captain had chung by one arm to the boat and
held the ninety-pound boy with the other
Meyers body was not recovered.

This does not seem, however. TO meet the

perpetuate the perplexity of those who burden
themselves with plans for their utilization or
disposition.
A very amusing class among these anxious
souls make us useful by laying upon our shout
ders all sorts Of political conspiracies. If they
are to be believed we are constantly engaged
In plotting for our own benefit and advance
ment and are quite willing, for the
sake OF reaching our ends, not only
to destroy the party to which we be-
long. but to subvert popular liberty and utterly
uproot our free American institutions. Others
seem Of the opinion that we should be utilized
as orators at county fairs and other occasions
of all sorts and at all sorts Of places. Some
think we should interfere in every po-
Htical contest and should be constantly
in readiness to express opinion on every
subject OF political character that anybody
has the ingenuity to suggest. Others still re-
gard 1t as simply dreadful for us to do
these things and are greatly disturbed every
time an ex-President ventures to express an
opinion on any subject. Not few appear to
think We should simply exist and be blind, deaf
and dumb the remainder Of our days.

A Prize Fight That Was Remarkable Only 70,
Its brutality.

AUS brutality
New YonK, July ga prize fight, remark
able for its astonishing brutality, took place
this morning at prominent sporting resort
on Long Island near Flushing. The contestants
were Tim Tomaldy of Jersey City, who weighs
1l8 pounds. and Bill Hoggart of the same
place, who fights ut the same weight Hoggart
is the Oldest, being five years Tomaldy's senior,
who Is twenty-eight years old.
Both men were stripped, and when time was
called. at 2 o'clock. they went at each other
like game cocks. 1t was hammer and tongs
from beginning to end. For twenty
rounds of the twenty-eight fought it was nip
and tuck. Each man punished the other Sc
verely, but neither seemed to have o decisive
advantage. The combatants were literally
dripping with gore and they were not pleas
ant sight by any manner OF means.
There were only twelve persons present in
Guiding the principals, and though they wero
old, hardened veterans of many years Of sport
ing experience, they WINGED Mt the savagery
they saw. 1t almost amounted to butchery.
Both Of the youngsters had terrific hitting
powers and they were absolutely merciless in
using them. Finally, when they had both
been banged into jelly in the twenty-cighth
round, Tomaldy, by lucky blow, caught
Hoggart on the jugular and the latter reeIed
around dazed and helpless for several seconds
after he had been counted out. Neither one
of the par ties is satisfied with the result and it
is thought that they will meet again in the
ring before long

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RALEIoH, N. c., July 25.-George W. Sander
lin is Baptist preacher and up to three years
ago was unknown to the political world. except
in his own county and immediate section, where
he was recognized as popular preacher who
took great deal Of interest in the success OF
the democratic party.
Many OF his friends regarded him as too
bright light to be kept under bushel, and in
1883 they began to boom him for place on the
state ticket. When the convention met in the
summer Of that year he was nominated for state
auditor by a large majority over Gen. ". 2.

When he entered upon the campaign his
speeches surprised his most intimate friends
and astonished those who had not heard him
speak before. Before the campaign closed he
was unanimously declared to be the best stump

WHY PROF. KOCH RESIGNED.
He Gives Up His Public Onices to Accept q
Nev Ofice


BERLIN, July 25.-The announcement on
Thursday that Prof. Koch had resigned all The
public offices held by him caused considerable
discussion and speculation as to the real cause
Of this action on his part. As there
had been rumors circulating for some time
past that the distinguished professor was dis
satisfied with the results of his tuberculine dis
coreries his resignation naturally was said to
be connected with this unsatisfactory state of
affairs.
An Associated Press correspondent has been
making inquiries into Prof. koch's action and
is authorized by the eminent physician 3
friends to make the assertion that Prof.
Koch has not resigned his official positions
on account of the failure of tuberculine or
kochism. but because he is upon the point Of
accepting new office, that OF director of the
Institute of Infectious Diseases. which has been
organized by the German government
1t ISL also stated that the Academic senate will
6estow an honorary Office upon Prot. Koch, and
that this will permit him to lecture whenever
and wherever he pleases.

Canada alone amounts TO S4S3. 1856. The fetal

What the trouble was which led to the challenge
is unknown. The hgh: was bitterly contested

1t from distance says that in persistent ham,

Review of the Market.

Henry Clews. in his financial review published
today, says: Wall street continues wholly de-
void of interest in both the investment and
speculative branches Of business On the
stock exchange operations are confined to
room traders, who are satisfied with fractional
changes and follow the transient variations OF
tone rather than seek to give the market bias
one way or the other. The truth is there is no
immediate material for the formation of a vio-
lent upward or downward movement
Neither bulls nor .'bears' have contracts
outstanding important enough to invite attack
from the opposite side. Nor is there anything
in outside influences of enough immediate in
circumstances everybody yields easily to the
temptations of the seasons recreations and the
street is virtually partially deserted.
