For the CharterinR aud Building Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Steamship Co.'s
New Line.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December H.
Advices from London state that all the
papers for the organization OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Steamship Com
pany, limited, have been settled and
the capital has all been subscribed.
The line is in the interest Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company,
which owns a majority Of the stock.
Contracts have been awarded to build
ers on the Clyde for the construction Of
six steamers. Three Of them are about
the size of the new White Star
steamer "Cufcun," the other three are
about one-fifth smaller. These steam
ers will make regular weekly sailings
from Newport News to England, and
additional steamers will be built, prob
ably in America, as the line requires
them. Mr.. ingalls,, president Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, says
that the advantage to the rail way COM
pany of this line can hardly be overesti-
mated. The export business from New
port News is even now more than
enough for these steamers, as we'll as
all the tramp steamers that can be
secured. Last year over 120 steamers
were loaded by the Chesapeake and
Ohio from that port for Europe.

WADE HAMPTON WILL NOT
Re-enter South Carolina Politics Under
Any Circumstances

WASHINGTON, D. c., December IL
George G. Tanner, a Confederate SOL
dier and political follower OF General
Wade Hampton wrote to him and urged
him to reconsider his resolution refus-
ing to again enter South Carolina poll
tics. He also outlined certain plans by
which he believed the General could
triumph over his enemies.
To this letter he has received the fol-
lowing reply:
COLUMBIA, s. G. Dec. 13, 1892.
DEAR TANNEB:-I am obliged to you
for your kind letter, which reached me
few days ago. Under no possible cir
cumstances, or persuasion, would l take
any place offered me by South Carolina.

do so. I have settled my accounts be-
tween the State and myself and l am
perfectly satisfied with the result. !
am rejoiced only to know that the af-
fection Of my old soldiers for me remains
unshaken in storm or In calm. Thank
ing you for your kind interest,

CHICAGO BASE BALL
The Franchise of the Chicago Club
Transferred TO a New Corporation.

The Franchise of the Chicago Club
Transferred TO a New Corporation.
CHICAGO, December 17.-The Nation
al League franchise Of the Chicago base
ball club hat been transferred by John
R. Walsh, A. G. Spauding, A. G.
TregO and James w. Hart to Charles
NJ. sherman, Thomas Barrett and Jas.
Hart. The new management made ap-
plication to-day to incorporate with a
capital Of 500, 900. There are a num-
Der Of small stockholders but Sherman
Barrett and Hart own the controlling
interests.
The reason given to-day by Mr.. Hart
for the transfer IS that by its recent
purchases OF the new ball grounds on
the West Side and at Hot Springs,
Ark, the Chicago ball club became,
from q financial standpoint, more OF a
land than amusement company. 1t was,
therefore, concluded TO separate the
two branches and allow the old corpora
tion to look after the land end Of the
business, while the new corporation
will do nothing but hunt the pennant.
The old club takes all the real estate,
the new affair getting the lease and i'm
provements on the South Side, ten
years lease on as much of the West
Side grounds as is necessary for ball
park, and the franchise in the national
league.
1t is announced that Capt. Anson will
retain his old position and hold not
only what stock he now has, but
good sized block in addition. Hr. Hart
expresses himself firmly In the convic-
ton that the new movement means
Sunday games, and especially in this
city during the Worlds Fair.

STREET RAILWAY WORK.
The Loop Track Finished, and Cars Will
be Operated With single Trolley.

The work OF changing the tracks Of
the electric street railway on the big
loop between Tenth and Forty-third
streets was completed on Friday. with
the exception of the curves at Twenty
second and Market, and Twenty-seventh
and Chapline. A force of men was put

yesterday. while the latter will be re-
placed to-day. Seven cars were placed
on the loop yesterday running nine
minutes apart, and the service was con-
siderably improved.
To-day the cars Will run on the sim
gle trolley system. They will start In
the loop, with one trolley taken of, and
run on one of the double wires. About
noon they will be started on the Mar
tins Ferry division, where the double
trolley wires have been replaced with
the single wires. This is also expected
to better the service considerably.
Work on the new power house at
Forty-second street is progressing
nicely, and It will be pushed rapidly TO
completion. It Is expected that II will
be in operation within two months.

ment Is already here.

He Gets . Resolution Through That VIII
Give Some Information as to Porter's
Methods.
S0s7Gi TsIs0rGn to the Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON. d. c., December IT,
Congressman Anderson has not giqen
up his intention to get at facts that
will throw little light on the manner
In which Census Superintendent Porter
has been conducting his bureau. In
the House to-day Mr.. Anderson sue
ceeded in having passed a resolution
calling on the Secretary Of the Interior
for a statement showing the names Of
persons who have resigned or been dis
charged from the Census Bureau before
and since November 4, 1890.
The information which will be elic-
ited by this resol ution will probably re-
veal some very interesting features Of
Mr.. Porter's methods Of running his
Office with reference to politics. Mr..
Anderson tried to get a similar resolu-
tion passed last session, but at that
time Porter seemed somehow to have q
grip on members OF the House which
made them reluctant TO do anything
calculated to displease the census chief.
This grip now seems to have been lost.
The truth Is that then Democratic
members of Congress who had secured
places for friends In Porter's, bureau
somehow felt themselves under personal
obligations to Porter, although the law
authorizing the taking OF the Eleventh
census expressly stated that the service
should be non-partisan. that Is, that the
employees should be selected for their
fitness and not because Of their politics.

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.
English Revenue Cutters In the Lakes
That Bear All the Appearances of War
Vessels-A Surprising Revelation.

That Bear All the Appearances of War
Vessels-A Surprising Revelation.
TOLEDO, ONO, December 1.-THE
Blade tonight publishes a long article
descriptive Of the three English alleged
revenue cutters now lying in OWENS
Sound on that shore Of Georgian bay.
These vessels, which are named the
Petrol, the Constance and the Curlew,
according TO the Blades represen-
tative, who visited the place, are men
of-war, any one OF which is capable Of
knocking into splinters all the floating
armament which the United States now
has on the great lakes.
The vessels are said to be each $50
feet long and 25 feet beam, with draft
Of less than Is feet. They are capable
OF running through the small canal In
the lake system, and their armament is
most complete of its kind known to
naval warfare.
Each vessel has three Maxim Norden-
felt 14-pounder rifles, capable Of doing
execution at six Thousand yards and
Of piercing four inches Of solid STEEL
In addition eacS vessel has four rapid
firing Hotcbkiss Suns. The fleet, which
is under the command of Lieut.. Com
mander McGregor, Is manned by
British sailors, and orders are received
direct from the Britith Admiralty Office
in London and the Canadian officers
have nothing whatever to do with
them.
The old man-of-war Michigan, which
alone upholds the flag OF the United
States on the great lakes is, according
to the Blade, OF no use on lake or sea,
and the three revenue cutters, Perry,
johnson and Fessenden will be Of even
less utility in time Of war.
There is then, the Blade declares,
absolutely nothing to prevent the Eng
lish laying in ashes every lake port in
the States. Chicago, Cleveland and
Detroit would be, in case of war, forced
to surrender within twenty-four hours.
The cruisers have been placed in
Owens Sound it is alleged to prevent
the Estates" sentiment in Canada from
becoming too effective, and for active
use on the lakes in the possibly of hos
tilities at some future date.
Their existence in Georgian Bay IS
said to be Ia direct violation Of the
treaty Of 1877, but as long as the Eng
lish government contends in reply to
queries from the American State De-
partment that they are revenue cut
ters," nothing remains for the United
States but TO construct a few "reVenne
cutters" OF its own.
