launching of Uncle Sans New Cruiser
Christened by Miss Edith Morton.
The new and handsome cruiser Columbia,
nicknamed "The Pirate" was launched from
Cramps shipyard on the afternoon of the 18th
ult with the usual christening ceremonies.
Miss Edith Morton, daughter of the Vice Presi-
dent, was the fair godmother of the terrible
warship. and when at 46 minutes past 3 o'clock
the word was given by President Cramp and
the bottle of champagne was shattered against
the keel, the cheers from the crowds which had
surrounded the ship, and the shrieks Of the
numerous vessels caused din which continued
nutil the Columbia had been towed back to its
place in the yard.
Among those present were Vice President
Morton with his wife and daughters Secretary
Tracy, Col. John r. Fellows. Commander Jno.
Solely Assistant Secretary Of State James Z.
Solely and William Morton GrinDel, a nephew
of the Vice President. A large party of DIR.
Cramps friends were also present.
The new cruiser is the first American vessel
to have triple screws. This divides the power
into three parts, each being developed by a
separate engine driving its own screw. With
all three screws the cruisers are calculated TO
develops maximum speed of % knots per hour.
With the two side screws and two thirds of the
power it is estimated that a speed of from IS to
10 knots be attained, while, if emergency
shouid require the central screw alone could
be used with one engine and one third of the
aggregate power, giving a speed estimated
at about ID knots per hour. The English war
ship, the Blake, which was to have made %
knots. can in reality only speed 1912 knots an
hour. her boilers leaking under forced draught.

The following comparison of the pensions
paid during the administrations of President
Harrison and Cleveland, as taken from the

$780, l55, 1924, and there are now about Sl7, S2e
cases pending. In 1891 the total number OF

THE CHOLERA.

Riots Account of 1t in the East, and
Fears of its Spread Over Europe.
The truth and full details have just come to
light at st. Petersburg Russia, regarding the
recent riots in Tashkend. town of Asiatic
Russia, in connection with the cholera epidemic.
1t seems that the authorities suppressed the
reports Of the affair, the strictest censorship
being exercised in the matter.
From private letters it is now learned that
the native Sarts, having had cause to believe
that tho physicians were poisoning those OF
their patients who were suffering from cholera,
became greatly excited aud determined to put
an end to the murderous practices which they
believed were being Employed. The wild
rumors of the cruelties inflicted by the doctors
had the effect of rousing the people to the high
est pitch.
Suddenly one day the Sarts, to the number
of 5000 swarmed into the Russian quarter of
Tashkend and wrecked the residence of the
Deputy-Governor, Poutinstsof who fed, but
was discovered, pursued and beaten and tram
pied to death by the rioters
The authorities now took possession of the
town, and set about to suppress the insurrec-
ton. A body of troops was hurried to the
scene, with orders to deal vigorously with the
mob. The military opened fire at once upon
the Sarts, killing several. The Sarts, however,
made a desperate resistance. They engaged IL
a hand-to hand struggle with the soldiers, and
did fearful execution with their long daggers.
Additional troops had to be sent to the place of
the confict-a body of Cossacks-and reinforc-
ed by these men, the soldiers succeeded in dis
persing the Sarts.
However. these people only moved to another
ground. They took possession of the mosques
and turned them into forts. They had practi-
cally safe positions, and when the soldiers
sought to dislodge them, they made a sturdy
and successful resistance for some time. At
last. concentrated movement all along the
line on the part of the soldiers effected their
entrance to the mosques. and terrible fighting
followed. There was no quarter given or
asked and mer fell by scores. Sixty of the
Sarts were killed and hundreds wounded, and
the soldiers suffered very heavily.
At present all is quiet, but there is fear Of
more disorder. Many persons supposed to be
implicated have been arrested, and example
will be made of them
Meanwhile cholera is making its appearance
in many more places. Tomsk, the capital of
Tomsk, in Siberia, is afflicted. and all Europe
is alarmed lest the disease become epidemic
through the Continent.

PUBLIC Debt Statement.

The fiscal operations of the Government dur

tho Treasury Department present gratifying
results for the first month of tue current fiscal

the public debt, and an increase during last

The public debt statement shows an in.

ceived. Some of the peasants who got food
for nothing are not working hard to put in
their crops and they say the good God and
the Gar will not let them starve" Some of
them went on this basis at the beginning of
the Winter, and when they were supplied with
food for three months, as was the case of vii
lage near here, they ate it up in one and had a
grand carouse during that time. The most of
the want, however, was genuine, and the story
as it has been published has not been over
drawn.
Even now the typhus fever is raging, and
the crops put in are comparatively very small.
1t is hard to see how this part of Russia can
escape starvation during the coming Winter
without help, and if the cholera, which is now
said to be at the mouth of this great River
Volga, should march on its destroying way up
into these districts, God help the people They
are so poor, SO ignorant, and so week that they
cannot help themselves.

Worlds Fair.

In an interview with President William r.
Baker. of the Worlds Fair Commission, in
New York last week, regarding the progress Of
the preparations. that gentleman said:
We arc making sa tisfactory Roadway. The
work On the buildings is within few weeks OIL
completion except in two departments-tbat oil
machinery and the manufacturers and liberal
arts. The latter will not be finished before
September. They are sure to be ready for the
dedication, which is fixed for Oct. r."
How much money has been expended up to
date?"
81 cannot give you the exact figures but in
round numbers it is about 100000. This
sum has actually been laid out on the build
ings. The total expenditure required accord
ing to the plan and scope at present, is $l7,-
100000. We have still nearly 100000 on
hand, but obligations incurred will take all OF
that and 81 100000 more. We expect Congress
TO pass the bill appropriating S5.000,000 for
general Exposition purposes. With that sum
we can easily raise 81, 100000 or S3,0o0,0oO in
Chicago and get along first-rate."
