The New Cruiser Detroit.

Detroit Free Press.
The new 2,000-ton cruiser launched
at Baltimore on Wednesday last and
christened by Secretary Tracy "The
Detroit" is the second war ship of that
name in the United States navy The
first was originally the flagship of Com
modore Barclay, of the British navy,
and was captured from that badly de-
feated officer by Commodore Perry at
the famous battle of Lake Erie, at Put
Inlay, September 10, 1918.
According to the Canadian chronicle
of the war of 1912, the Britishfleet was
composed of the Detroit 10 guns, Queen
Charlotte II, Lady Provost 13, Hunter
10, Chippewa and Little Belt 3; total,
SO guns The American fleet had the
Lawrence 20, Niagara 20, Caledonia 3,
Ariel A, Trippe 1, Tigress 1, Somers 2,
Scorpion 2, Ohio l and Porcupine /;
total, SO guns.
The Americans had somewhat the
greater weight of metal as whole and
also the larger force of men, but several
of Barclays guns exceeded in range
and caliber those of Perry. Two of
these guns Of the British officer have
been for years displayed in front of the
Detroit city hall quite appropriately,
too, as they were originally part of the
armament of The man war Detroit
Cooper, in his "Naval History of the
United States" says the Detroit was a
heavier and stronger ship, with better
guns, than either of the American briggs
The sides of the Detroit, which were
unusually stout, were filled with shot
from Perrys guns, but they did not
penetrate, due to the distance, Cooper
thinks, at which the action opened,
possibly also to the inferior quality of
the American powder.
There were some romantic incidents
attending the capture of the Detroit.
Ingersoll, i'm his "Second War with
Great Britain" says: "On board the
British commodore's ship Detroit were
three Indian warriors, making their
first essay in naval combat. They were
placed IN the round-tops with rifles to
pick off the American officers. 1t was
bright, cloudless morning, and the
savages took their novel stations with
great ardOr, for this kind of bloodshed
they delight in. The action beginning
with the fleets considerably separated,
rifle shooting was of no use, while
broadsides reverberated over the water
and cannon balls whistled through the
rigging too near the Indians for their
encouragement; they therefore went
down upon the deck. That, when the
vessels came yard-arm to yardarm, was
a still more dangerous position and COW
cred with dead and wounded, broken
spars and dismantled equipments. The
three warriors retreated below, where
they were found by the American Off
Ger who took possession of the Detroit.
Her colors were nailed to the mast, and
were with some difficulty taken down
by the Americans extracting the nails.
There was large bear on board the
vessel which was found in the enjoy
ment of tapping the blood from her
decks after the battle"
Here's TO the success of the new De-
troit. Her name is harbinger of vic
tory. May she safely float and long
continue to uphold the glory of the
American navy.

rHs STATES posr- OFFICES.



The following is Washington tele-
gram to The Press, Philadelphia. 1t is
from the report made after the late in
spectlon of post-otflces made by Post
master.general Wanamaker's order:
The searching inquiries that have
been made by the post-office department
with regard to the successes, il any, of
postmasters in different parts of the coun-
try, show the following results with
reference to Delaware. At Laurel, Post
master G. E. Smith first moved the office
from dark rooms to lighter and better
ventilated ones in the centre Of the
town. Then at some little expense to
himself he put in new lot Of boxes,
more than doubling the number used
by his predecessor, and succeeded in
renting nearly all of them. BY putting
up letter boxes al the derot and near
the post-otlice much additional business
was secured. BY dint of hard and con-
slant work the postal service Of Laurel
has greatly improved and the depart
ment learns that the people appreciated it.
Postmaster A. G. Cox of Middletown
started in with the right intention, that
of having model Office, and has had
the qualification of seeing his desires
materiaize. The inside of the office
was entirely rearranged after 1t had
been moved to more central location,
and order was produced from chaos.
More modern furnishings were intro
duced, additional communication pro.
vidcd business methods inculcated, and
the local papers were encouraged to
discuss postal matters and suggest i'm
provements. Mr.. Cox published a little
paper at his own expense in the interest
of the post-oflice and in this way ditfused
much needed and useful information.
The people of Middletown are well
pleased, as the department learns, with
their postal service. At Smyrna Post
master Thomas jefferson, Jr., early dis
covered the value of introducing system
into the workings of the office. BY the
use of rubber stamps and other appli-
ances much time and labor is saved to
his employees. Stamps are now sold,
not as formerly, while the mail is being
distributed. The newspapers of Smyrna
have been furnished, from time TO time,
with postal Items of interest, and en-
couraged to suggest improvements. BY
all these means the postal service has
been greatly improved, and from all ac-
counts the people Of Smyrna greatly
appreciate their increased facilities.
AT Georgetown, Postmaster j. W.
Mysick has refurnished his office
throughout, with new letter boxes, tables,
cases, &c. In many other ways he has
given his patrons increased facilities for
prompt service and has succeeded in
pleasing all

Tho Philadelphia Assessment Lists
Greatly Padded--1e,ooo Names I'M

Tho Philadelphia Assessment Lists
Greatly Padded--1e 900 Names I'M
properly on the List.
The Philadelphia Record says: In spite OF
all the effort that was made in September
to purify the registry lists under the new
assessors law the work fell far short OF the
mark. as the reports made to the Demo-
cratic city committee last evening show.
Chairman Wilhere declares that there are
still 1900 names improperly on the regis
try and that they were Improperly on the
lists on September Sd last, when the assess.
ment closed. These figures were obtained
by careful canvass of the city under the
direction of the various Democratic ward
committees.
This canvass proves the contention OF
the Democrats that the assessors lists were
formerly padded to the extent OF n ore
than 10000 names. The new assessors law
reduced this years registry by 1000, as
compared with 1890, where the material
growth Of the city should have increased
the list by 10000 II previous assessments
had been honest. This made a reduction
2l.0O0 and the recent canvass, showing
1000 names to be improperly on the lists,
still further swells the padding TO 81, O00
Partial reports were also received by the
committee last night concerning the In
vestigations being made into the charac-
ter, antecedents and qualifications Of cleo
ton officers all over the city. Republicans
and Democrats alike are being investigated,
and the divisions where there Is reason to
suspect crooked work will be marked. A
list is being made out and the divisions
will be watched on election day.
The committee of fifty will also be pro-
vided with list for the use of its agents
and detectives. The committee has found
number of cases where office-holders
have been chosen as election officers. Such
persons are disqualified from serving, and
the committee will take steps to prevent 1t,
