GOING TO GETTYSBURG.
Secretary Lamont to See for Himself VIII,
Damage Has Been Done.

Secretary Lamont tn See for Himself What
Damage Has Been Done.
Secretary Lamont has accepted an invitation
from the Gettysburg battlefield commission to
VISIT that battlefield for the purpose of making
personal inspection of the field in order to &c,
understandingly on the course Of action pro-
posed by the commission in execu-
ton Of the provisions Of the act ap-
propriating $4,000 to mark and preserve
the lines of battle. Secretary Lamont expected
to go tonight. but he finds that his official bust.
ness will notperInit his leaving he city at pres
ent. He was therefore compelled to telegraph
his regrets for the present. He will endeavor
to 60 at another time. and may choose the occa :
sion Of New York's celebration at GETTY sburg,
Jnlv 2. but his going will depend entirely on
circumstances
THE OBJECT OF HIS VISIT.
In order to avoid possible misunderstanding
on this question. it can be stated with authority
that Secretary Lamont's visit refers only to the
proposed work Of the national commission and
has no special relation to any Inter
feren with the oper ,tions of the trolley
company. 1t is gener lily accepted at the
War Department that the government has no
jurisdiction whatever over the battlefield under
present conditions and will be in no position to
interfere unless specifically authorized by
future legislation.
NO a2oUND FOR INTERFERENCE YET.
The matter has been pretty carefully can
vassed by the legal lights Of the department.
and, while no official report has been made, tn
impression has gone out that they have decided
that, the government is not yet possessed 1
any property on the field, there are no grounds
for interference.
1t has been suggested that after July the
battlefield commission may use all or u part OF
the S25.0O0 appropriated in the sundry civil
bill for the purpose Of acquiring possession Of
at least portions OF the field, even il condem-
nation proceedings have to be entered against
the trolley company. While the government
may not be able to interfere just now. all hope
is not abandoned OF keeping the vandals of the
most sacred portions of the field.

Mr.. Gladstone was greatly shocked when he

laundering Of the vessel.
The prime minister informed the house Of

most esteemed officers in the service Of her

naval officers are loath to express opinions as
where the fault lies. The Victoria, in her con-
sstruction, embodied every safeguard known mn
to the recent date of her completion for tbepro-
lection of the life of her officers and crew. She
was compartment ship and was supposed
to be unsuitable in anv ordinary collision.
Probably that would have been the case
had the blow been straight on
the bow or stern, for the result then
would have been the filling Of not more than
one compartment. But ablor on the side. and
probably diagonal blow at that would doubt
less rip open several Of the compartments and
those remaining intact would not have sufficient
buoyancy to float the ship. The Camperdown,
which dealt this fatal blow. was about the same
size as the Victoria and the ship never has been
built that would Withstand the impact
OF ten thousand tons of steIl moving
at any ordinary speed. The Camperdown
herself resembles the q. s. S. Charleston in
general appearance, though she is twice AZ large.
She has a central superstructure, but her decks,
fore and aft. are entirely clear two barbettes
carrying heavy guns and her sides are clad in
impenetrable armor. Naval officers here feel
that one result Of this catastrophe will be to
emphasize in q striking manner the terrible
efficiency of the ram a weapon Of naval Of

The Current Passed Through wrlisu
Waugh and Left Him Only Dassd.
Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
WHEELING, W. Va, June 2S.-on Thurrdsv
last William Waugh was struck with lightning
during the storm Of that day on the RibbIe
farm, about q mile from his home, while hoeine
corn and il is only Q miracle that he lives to-
day.
The young man has no recollection Of the
occurrence whatever, neither before nor after.
IL Is supposed that il happened about $50
O'Clock, and after IT he wandered to the house
Of Mr.. Ribble. He has no recollection of this
and bis faculties never returned to him till the
next day. He IL vet dazed. though able 70 60
about. The current entered his head on the
left side above the ear. leaving two cuts about
an inch and a half in length. Passing on each
side OF his ear. around under his chin to the
center OF the breast bone. thence down the
center of the abdomen to the pelvis, the current
separated and passed down his legs. The main
force, however. seems to have been confined to
the left nde. As il passed out through the
bottom of the shoes il made large hole m the
bottom OF them and tore the metal buckle OF
one Of them. The pantaloons he wore were
literally rent to strings and his hat WAS torn 70
pieces
The effects Of the electrical current resem-
bled those which would be left IL a hot iron
were drawn over the skin and run the entire
distance from his head to the bottom Of his
feet. The points Of entrance and exit were
the worst burned 1t is plainly evident that
the young mans brain is still seriously affected,

monosyllables. IL is the opinion Of the attend

The Directors Of the Pacific Bank Decided
to Close It's Doors Temporarily.

Aho OIToctOr0 OF tne racine BANK Decided
to Close It's Doors Temporarily.
SAN Francisco, June 29.-The board Of d.
rectors Of the Pacific Bank decided not to open
the doors this morning The direct cause OF
the suspension is a notice from the clearing
house association that the banks paper would
not be accepted hereafter.
1t has been known for some time that the
bank was laboring under financial difficulties,
and the announcement of the action Of the
board does not create great surprise.
The Pacific Bank was organized in 1868 by r.
-. Mcdonald, and its present manager is r. H.
Mcdonald, jr. 1t has paid-up capital stock of
81 .00O. 900, nominal reserve Of about
500. 900 and deposits Of about 81, SOC, 900. ac-
cOrding to recent official report Its loans
and discounts are said to be about s., SOC. 00O
The failure seems to be altogether due to the
recent monetary troubles and it is expected the
depositors will lose nothing.
Manager Mcdonald says the bank will resume
business in q short time and that the suspension
is resorted to that the bank NAV realize from
Its assets and protect itself from sudden run
by depositors.
1t may be that the closing down Of the Pa
cifc Bank will result in the suspension of the
Peoples Home Savings Bank, a collateral in
stitution, under practically the same manage
ment. 1t has guaranteed capital stock Of
SAsooo'Ooo, VI WhiSu OHc-tulTu pRlu up III
cash. According to a recent statement of the
Peoples Bank it has total deposits of 81, 7OO,-
600. The outlook this morning was that there
seemed to be no reason to apprehend that the
suspension Of these institutions would pre-
cipitate a run on other banks. The leading in
situations we're said to be well fortified and
prepared to meet any ordinary emergency
Manager Mcdonald said he expected a run
would be made today on the Peoples Home
Savings Bank. but that the bank officials would
take advantage Of the law. which allows savings
banks to defer payment ten. thirty and sixty
days. The institution is perfectly solvent be
says, and in this manner hopes to tide over the
present emergency.
Later-The Peoples Savings Bank has failed.
ASSETS MUCH LARGER THAN LIABILITIES.
SEATTLE, WASH, June 23-A special from
New Whatcomb, Wash, says the First National
Bank closed its doors at noon yesterday In
ability to realize on its securities Is the
cause given for suspension. The banks
officials state That their assets are
double their liabilities and that depositors will
be paid in full. The bank examiner will be
here in a few days. Depositors feel confident
that they will receive one hundred cents on the
dollar. There is no excitement and the suspen-
sion did not precipitate runs on the other
banks.
ONTARIO CAL, June 2S-The Citizens
Bank closed its doors yesterday. The statement
shows that the resources greatly exceed the la
bilities.
