Successfully Launched at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard In Pouring Rain in the
Spectators.
BROOKLYN, Nov. 11.-Amid the cheers
of 5000 people, yesterday afternoon.
the Cincinnati, Uncle Sans newest
cruiser, slid gracefully from the ways
into the water of the East river, where
she was greeted by the guns of the-At-
lanta, Miantonomah and Philadelphia.
1t was not a pretty launching, but
mechanically it was a success. Rain
fell steadily all the morning and the
awning which had been placed over
the platform to protect the invited
guests from the weather did not fulfill
its mission. Everybody got wet, from
Secretary Tracy down, and many of
the guests went away before the
launching took place.
1t was 2 o'clock when the props and
blocks had been knocked out from un-
der the hull and the cruiser rested in
her cradle which was held on the ways
by the sole piers. Then the saws cut
through the sole piers and the vessel
was clear. But she did not move.
At word from Naval Constructor
Fernald the hydraulic rams were
manned. Suddenly. the great steel
hull began to move, Miss Stella Mosby,
daughter of the mayor of Cincinnati,
raised a ribbon covered bottle in her
hands and shattered it on the bow OF
the vessel. She said: II christen thee
Cincinnati"
1t was just 2:12 p. m. as the great
ship, with Ohio wine dripping from her
PROV moved from the spot where she
had been built and with a gradually in
creasing pace, took the water with
graceful dip and rode majestically out
toward midstream. She kept an even
keel and her graceful lines and trim
shape drew favorable comments from
the experts who were present and
cheers from the crowd. Half a dozen
tugs surrounded her and towed her to
the navy yard dock. where the work
on her will be completed. On the plat

tening took place where Secretary

flied in any way that is likely to promote
a settlement of the question. He and
the other British delegates are convinced

general remedy is found. there will be a
crisis which will be SO intense IN Amer

to resort to measures dictated solely by
selfish interests. These measures it is
thought may produce extremely serious
disturbances in the monetary and eco
nomical equilibrium of the world. 1t has
moreover been observed with painful
surprise that certain delegates came to
the conference with pessimistic preju-
or obstinate attachment to statu
quo which may jeopardize all attempts

able, but is open to amendments.

The national bank notes constitute
a little over 1G per cent of the money in
circulation. The currency furnished by
the government will not commend itself
to taxpayers upon the score of economy.
The government cannot issue money
gr~atuitously; it must be in exchange for
some value. 1t cannot possess elasticity.
The practical workings have been to ar
bitrarlly increase or diminish the cur
rency to the detriment of business inter

currency adequate to the wants of the
public, sound, and elastic beyond eriti-
cism. This form of currency should be

CATTLE THIEVES IN DANGER.
Idaho Officers Preparing to Round Up
hold BUSTERS.

~ hNIhEluk I'D INOuuu I'd
hold BUSTERS.
BOISE Cry, Ida, Nov. 21.-Stock In
spector Tom Clark and other Ada
county officials have for some time past
been secretly investigating the numer-
Gus thefts of cattle from the ranches
lying between the Boise and Snake
rivers. They have received much dam
aging evidence against a number of per-
sons, some of whom are comparatively
prominent, and next week the matter
will be brought to the attention of the
third district grand jury. 1t is alleged
that two or three well.known butchers,
none OF whom reside in Boise, have long
been in league with a gang of bold rust
lers, the latter driving stock from the
ranches and ranges to the slaughter
houses OF the butchers. who Immediately
XIII the animals, cut up the carcasses
and offer the meat for sale in their mar
kets. BY following this plan the thieves
have been enabled so completely to
conceal their dishonest work that it has
heretofore been impossible to connect
them with frequent losses of beef cattle.
The steers were killed SO quickly after
having been stolen that they could not
be successfully traced branded hides.
if they were sold at all, were shipped to
points far distant from Idaho. One of
the victims OF the thieves is c. w. Moore.
the Boise banker.
Stock Inspector Clark does not think
that any of the stolen cattle were sent
out of the state. it having been much
safer to slaughter and sell them here.
While the extent of the operations of the
dishonest crowd cannot at present be
estimated it is claimed they are equal to
the experts of the notorious Humason
gang, which in a similar manner success
fully worked Spokane county, Washing
ton, in 1880, and which was finally brok-
en- up by Sheriff Pugh after one or two
r%ustlers had been killed, several landed
in the pen and others forced to flee from
the country.
