The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1891-11-04

1T is stated that four Of the
new cruisers intended for the
Navy will be launched before
the close of the present year,
and that they will be completed
by next summer. Congress has
voted a great deal Of money
during recent years for the con-
struction Of new naval vessels,
and as the number Of such YES
sells increases il is to be hoped
that the Washington authori-
ties will exercise as great care
in selecting navigating officers
for them asis exhibited by ship
ping merchants III the conduct
Of their private business. On
the high seas naval ships should
have navigating officers who
will not run them Oh the beach,
head on, as has been the case on
several occasions during the
past fifteen years, and in har-
bors they should be furnished
with pilots whose especial busi-
ness it Is 10 know the tortuous
windings Of various channels.
10 expend several million dol
lars in constructing and equip
ping a vessel, and then omit
any proper precaution for her
safety Is, to our mind, the height
Of absurdity.

The Record Breaking years.

For extremes in several di-
rections 1891 is unique. To be.
tgin with the weather, in some
parts of tn, country June was
the hottest, July the coolest
and September again the warm
est that has ever been known.
II will furnish the largest wheat
crop ever known in the United
States, also the largest crop of
independent political ideas.
The ocean record between
Europe and America has been
broken both ways. The worlds
bicycle record has been broken
in England Turning to the
other side of the globe, the
ocean record has also been
broken between Yokohama and
Victoria. One of the Japan
European mail steamers short
ened the time between
these two cities two days and
nineteen hours Inspired by
this achievement, the Canadian
Pacific railway authorities then
resolved to do their best to ex.
pedite the oriental mail to New
York. BY running their trains
to the best advantage they sue
ceeded in bringing the mails
from Victoria to New York,
across the whole continent,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
in 3 days ~ hours and 90 min
utes.
1t is to be remembered that
the globe rounds up narrower as
it goes northward, making the
distance between the same me-
ridians somewhat less, which
will account partly for this
rapid railway running.
But perhaps the greatest a.
chieyement of all is the quick
time made from San Francisco
to New York by Mr.. John w.
Mackay in his special car, the
Grassmere. The car was at
tached to regular trains, but by
making no unnecessary delay
Mr.. Mackay travelled to New
York from San Frrncisco in 4
days II hours 2S minutes.

Want Reparation.

The more that is learned Of
the attack on American sail ors
in Valparaiso the more clear il
becomes that the incident is not
one this Government can al
low to pass lightly by. There
is no longer room to doubt the
Chilian mob was inspired by
sentiments held by Chilian Of
ficials and that the latter have
assumed an attitude in a high
degree insulting to the United
States. This is the view now
taken of tine matter by the Ad-
ministration here, and il looks
as If the incident would lead to
grave complications unless
Chill speedily makes full repa,
ration and ample apologies,
Secretary Tracy had an inter-
view with the President Satur-
day in regard to the matter, but
refuses positively to say what
plan of action has been agreed
upon. 1t is known that the Ad-
ministration regards the situ-
alton as most serious and that
the incident is not one that can
be overlooked as a simple street
row. While no other vessels
have been ordered to proceed to
Chill TO enforce the demand for
reparation that will probably be
made, it is likely that the naval
force in Chilian waters will be
speedi y REINFORCED unless this
Government receives some as
surance from the Chi ian Gov
eminent that proper justice will
be meted out to the offenders
Minister Egar has been instruc-
ted to take prompt aud vigorous
measures to secure reparation.
He has been fully advised ofthe
position of this Governmental and
has been instructed to acquil
the Chilian Government there
with in the hope that the mat
ter may be amicably adjusted
without detriment to the honor
Of either country. IL is uLder-
stood that the President insists
upon a proper redress for the in
suit, and that unless it is
given in a reasonable time Min
ister Egan will be recalled and
all diplomatic relations with
Chill suspended.

SECRETARY Blaine.was the first
member of his party to alight
from the private car when the
Congressional limited pulled in
to the station Saturday after
noon There was an impress
sion that the Presidsnt would
be there to greet his Secretary
of State and congratulate him
on his return to Washington af-
ter his serious illness. But the
President and no member of the
Cabinet appeared, and the only
demonstration made in honor of
Mr.. Blaine's return was that of
the newspaper men, who were
all anxious to see for themselves
exactly how Mr.. Blaine looked,
walked, and bore himself. As
the Secretary of State slowly
made his way along the plat
form with Mrs. Blaine on his
arm, the newspaper men acted
as an escort, while they care
fully scrutinized him. They
saw that Mr.. Blaine was little
thinner and a shade palsr than
when he left here in the spring
He did not seem as alert and
decisive in his movements as of
old, and il was generally agreed
that Mr.. Blaine showed unmis-
taxable traces of his recent ILL
ness

They are PLEASED

The visit to this country of
the British commissioners
charged with the duty Of in
quiring into the progress and
prospects Of the Columbian Ex.
position was Of SO agreeable
and encouraging a character
that they were enabled to make
a most favorable report to the
royal commission, and one that
will doubtless do much toward
assuring England's representa-
tion at the Fair on a compre-
hensiye and elaborate scale.
They seem TO be thoroughly
impressed with the conviction
that the Exposition is not only
to be a very large sized show,
but that its management is in
excellent hands; that its ulti.
mate success is beyond question.
The royal commission will not
make a stirring appeal TO the
country, and through their eff
forts and influence a strong
public sentiment is likely to be
aroused in lavor Of a general
and comprehensive display, for
the British empire covers an
immense area and a vast and
diversified multitude Of indus
tries.

A $2,000,000 DIAMOND.
The Sort of SIP ,rlSlers they have
in Distant India.

Curious mention is made il
the London Spectator of q re
cent law suit between a jeweleI
of Simla and d young Prince OF
India over a 80, 900, 600 diamond.
Little is said Of the origin Of the
diamond. 1t is spoken Of as
new and is know as the I'M
perial.
1t seems that th1 Imperial
fell into possession of an Italian
named Barri, whose business it
is to 60 from court To court in
Asia dealing in briliants. He
it rs who figures in Il. Marion
Crawford's most famous novel
ais ..Mr. Isaacs." /" InE Simla he
is known as "Mr. Jacobs. "
One of the best customers of
this Oriental diamond dealer
was the young Nizap, Of Hyde
rabad. This prince IS a young
athlete and is something Of a
scientist. He is rich Some
time ago the Nizam agreed to
buy the Imperial diamond, and
the price fixed upon was a43o,-
600 ($2, $50, ,oO0).
So, at least, avowea the dia-
mond dealer, and doubtless he
was right, for such Was the ten

Supreme Court at Siinla. For,
having repented of his bargain,
the Nlzainrefused, atthe pinch,
to pay over the $2,150,000 for
the DIT Of sparkling carbon, and
the most famous jeweler IN Asia

The plea Of the Niznm was
that he did not approve of
the stone, and the Court let him

i

A dispatch from Erie, Pa,
says: Farmer George Hef-
decker Of Green township ap.
parently died very suddenly of
what was supposed to be heart
failure two weeks ago, The
body was buried four days lat.
ter from st. Johns Lutheran
Church OF this city and temper
arily inferred in a neighbor's
lot in the Erie cemetery pend
ing the purchase Of one by his
family.
The transfer was made and
yesterday when the casket was
opened at the request of his
family a horrifying spectacle
was presented. The body had
turned round, lying on its face,
and the interior of the casket
bore the traces of a terrible
struggle with death in its most
awful shape. The distorted
and blood covered features
bore evidence of the agony en-
dured. The clothing about the
head and neck had been torn
into shre9s, as was likewise the
lining of the coffin. Bloody
marks Of finger nails on The
face, throat and neck told Of
the awful dispair of the doomed
man, who tore his own flesh in
his terrible anguish. Several
fingers had been entirely bitten
off and the hands torn with the
teeth until they scarcely resem-
bled those Of a human being.

Connecticut and Rhode Island
are at present suffering from a
widely dlffused malady, said to
be not unlike the ''grip" which
played havoc throughout the
country in 1889 and 1890. "A
study Of the history of influenza
epidemics has led physicians to
predict that we shouldnot have
a recurrence of grip this year.
1t is evident, according to the
profession, during the first and
the second winter, but after
ward it commonly disappears.
Ii is a painful surprise, there
fore, to have the arrival of our
old enemy announced, and at so
early a date, before the winter
has fairly begun. SO painful is
it that the average men will be
disposed to be incredulous. He
viii be ready TO conjecture that
what Connecticut and Rhode
Island are troubled with is
merely the result of indiscreet
exposure during the chilly
weather of the last few days.
People were ayerse to donning
their winter flannels at SO short
notice.

The fight against the lottery
has more religion in IL than any
political contest waged in
Louisiana for years. Nearly
every denomination has spoken
out on the subject, and not only
spoken, but gone into the poll
teal fight. The idea is for each
denomination 70 do all in its
power as a Church. Several Of
the churches propose to make It
a test of membership. The Me-
thodist ministers are to a man
anti-lottery. A minister Of
that Church, Mr.. Warren, was
elected to the present Legisla-
ture. He voted in that body ii
favor of submitting the lottery
question to the popular vote.
For this he was disciplined, ex-
pelled from the Church, and
things made so hot forwere
him that he pulled up stakes,
moved away from Louisiana,
settling In Texas, where he
died a few months ago. Every
Methodist Conference has de-
clared against the lottery.

A noted type is represented
by the "blanket man" of Col.
orado. In respect to work he is
a farm hand, in respect to his
mode Of life he is q tramp. He
carries a blanket from place to
place, and hires himself out.
He sleeps in a shanty like that
erected fer railroad laborers in
many places, and his food is
about such as is furnished for
such laborers. There is moth
ing In common between him and
his employer, scarcely the com.
mon symp THY of humanity.
When the "blanket man" finish.
es one agricultural task he rolls
up his blanket and passes on to
the next ranch where he can OBJ
tain work. Perhaps the "blank-
ct man. Isl necessity Of the
time, but it is to be hoped he
will pass away. Such men
treated in such a manner will
tcnd to degrade agriculture inn

al new invention that will
doubtless "go" next summer
whSn the swimming season sets
in again is q webbed rubber
glove for use in the water.
Young swimmers find one Of
the most difficult points to
learn Is To keep their fingers to-
gether in the water. With the
webbed glove this will not be
necessary, as the swimmer will
then be web fingered and can
safely compete with Newfound-
