\ California special from Folsom,
under date of June 80, says: At 2:3O

ployed IN the upper quarry next to
the head gate OF the big dam, consist
ing of George Sontag, a life-timer and

yer which had been concealed among

conflict between the two wooden
cruisers, as they steamed in concen-
trio circles pouring into each other
shot and shell, was essentially a match
between British and American prowess
and skill. The Alabama's mission of
destruction was begun with herlaunch-
ing from the ways at Birkenhead, q
British dockyard. Her battery was
of English model and construction.
Her gunners were picked men from an
English man-of-war. Only her cap
tain, first lieutenant and a few junior
officers were Americans.
The Kearsarge was both commanded
and manned by loyal Americans, many
of them volunteers from the merchant
marine who had never before cruised
in a war ship. The design and con-
struction of the Kearsarge, as well as
her battery, were distinctly American.
The two vessels were well matched in
size and weight of metal. Neverthe-
less, the Alabama was literally torn
to pieces, her guns dismounted and
her decks made slippery with blood by
the cool, deliberate, accurate fire OF
the American crew, while her own fire
was hurried and comparatively inef-
fective. With the sinking OF the Ala
bama a stinging lesson was inflicted
upon the country which had violated
the laws of neutrality by building and
launching the Alabama for the Con-
federate governments sting to Brit
ish pride which afterward became a
drain to the British pocket. All honor
to the Hartford, now afloat at Mare
Island. and to the Kearsarge, which

Mckinley at the Fair.

Cleveland Leoder: 1t is entirely
safe to say that no other state gov
ernor in the country would have re-
,eived an ovation, not because no
other governor is as able, honest, and
rs worthy as Ohio's chief executive,
but solely because they are not, as he
is, the recognized champion OF the
great principal of protection.
This evidence OF popularity outside
Ohio is but dim reflex of the popu-
lar feeling that will be developed for
Mr.. Mckinley when the campaign be-
cins. The threat of the Cleveland ad-
ministration to repeal the Mckinley
law and place the industries OF the
nation upon a free trade basis will
bring out the issue more boldly than
it has ever appeared in any former
campaign, and the verdict, We believe,
will be more emphatic in favor of pro.
lection. When the final hour OF trial
comes for n principle or an institution
| ITS friends will come to the front
That hour has come in regard to pro-
lection. An overwhelming majority
| for Mckinley this fall will indicate the
sentiment not only in Ohio, but
throughout the country, and cause q
halt in the already hesitatlng hand
raised to strike down American indus
tries.

The Kearsarge's Victory Recalled.

New York Press: The beginning OF
repairs to the battle-scarred hull OF
the Hartford, Admiral Farragut's
flagship, which is again to be placed i'll
comedies with the twen-
ty-ninth anniversary OF the destruc-
tion OF the American cruiser Alabama
by the Kearsarge. The anniversary
has Just been becomingly celebrated
on board the Kearsarge, which CHANGED
at the time to be in what might be
called her birthplace, Portsmouth, the
old New Hampshire seaport where her
oaken ribs were bent to her sturdy
keel more than thirty years ago. Like
the Hartford, the Kearsarge is hon.
ored by exemption from the law which
condemns vessels whose repairs would
exceed in expense 20 per cent. of the
original cost. The distinction is mer-
tied, for if the Hartford opened the
lower Mississippi, closed the port OF
Mobile and led in she destruction OF
two Confederate fleets, the Kearsarge,
in a naval duel of terrific ferocity, put
an end to the destruction OF Union
commerce and again proved to the
world the superiority of American
over British seamanship and gunnery
The fight off Cherbourg was an echo
near the coast of one continent of the
gigantic struggle which convulsed an

go back to the currency law which ex-
isted before the bank law. Gold was
coined at the mint free of charge. Sill
yer was also coined on the payment
of seigniorage by the owner of the bull
lion, and, if it was not enough for the
needs of the currency presented, the
secretary of the treasury was author

this way the demand and supply reg

out of use. / do not believe in dis.
pensing with silver. If such an ar
rangement cannot be made, why not
fix new ratio between gold and sill
yer?
"No such ratio would be perma
nent," added the speaker. sit would
have to be changed from time to time
as the production of gold or silver in

AN EXTRA SESSION.
Grover Cleveland Has Called an Extra ses
sion to Repeal the Sherman Law.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The presi-
dent left here at AGO p. M, over the
Pennsylvania for Buzzard's Bay. He
will be abssnt from the capital three
weeks or more, his stay depending
upon circumstances. Secretary La
mont accompanied the president as
far as New York.
The presidents determination to
leave the city was only reached this
morning, and his departure so sudden
ly leaves a number of important ap-
pointments agreed upon unsigned and
many senator's and congressman who
have recently arrived in the lurch. 1t
is understood that the president will
transact only the most urgent public
business while at Buzzard's Bay, and
what official announcements are to be
made will be given out at the execu-
tive mansion in Washington.
At 6 o'clock this evening the follow
ing proclamation was issued:
EXECUTIVE, MANSION, |
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 80, 1898. J
WHEREAS, Distrust and apprehen-
sion concerning the financial situation
which pervades all business circles
have already caused great loss and
damage to our people and threaten to
cripple our merchants, stop the wheels
OF manufacture, bring distress and
privation to our farmers, and with
hold from our workingmen the wage
of labor; and
Whereas, The present perilous con-
dition is largely the result of tinan
cial policy which the executive branch
of the government finds embodied in
unwise laws which must be executed
until repealed by congress.
Now, therefore, |, Glover Cleveland
president of the United states, i'll per
formance OF my constitutional duty
do by this proclamation declare that
extraordinary occasion requires the
convening of both houses of the con
gress OF the United States, at the cap
itol in this city of Washington, on the
Tth day OF August next at 12 O'Clock
noon, to the end that the people may
be relieved through legislation from
the present impending danger and dis
tress.
All UDOSe entitled 10 ACT aS nleIllDer'
of the Fifty-third congress are required
to take notice of this proclamation
and attend at the time and place abov,
stated. Given under my hand anC

city OF Washington, on the 30th day
of June, in the year of our Lord, on
thousand eight hundred and ninety

United States, one hundred and seven

The Great BiMetallic Driven from the Field

As result of the drop in silver the
Bi-Metallic Mining company OF Philips,
burg has suspended operations and
200 men were laid off. About twenty
men will be retained. The mill will be
kept running for some time, as there
is still a lot of ore on hand. The
Granite company still continues op-
erations with the usual force, but it is
heard that they will also be Obliged to
shut down. Up to the present no in
structions have been received from the
owners as to what future action will
be taken. The outlook is not partic-
ularly cheering for the section, but the
people are hopeful that the depression
will be but temporary.

Governor Altgelt, on June 26, issued
pardons to Samuel Fielden, Oscar
Nebe and Michael Schwab, anarchists,
now serving terms of Imprisonment at
Joliet penitentiary for alleged COM
plicity in the Haymarket riot in Chi
cago on the night of May 6, 1856.
The pardon message contained 12,-

ground that these men were not fairly
tried and that the court was preiu.
diced. He scores Judge Gary and
Chief Of Police Bonfield severely.
