i. is IN odd fact that the thirteen
trees which Alexander Hamilton
planted near his country house. the
Grange. to symbolic the original states
of the union, and which IRE still stand
ing near the old manor house on Con-
vent avenue, between One Hundred
and Forty-Second and One Hundred
md Forty-Third streets, have kept pace
with the growth of the states which
they represent. For instance, says the
New York Recorder, New York state
is represented by the largest tree,
standing in the center Of the group.
Close to it stands tho next largest, rep
resenting the state of Pennsylvania.
Rhode Island is represented by the
smallest tree, which Is mere baby by
the side of the others, md the crooked
tree is called South Carolina. 1t has
taken nm abrupt turn and grown per-
ceptibly out of the grove; then it
turned again just rs suddenly, and
grew up straight. South Carolina was
the first state to scccUe from the union.
Since peace has been restored, how
ever. She has been ono OF the most
thrifty and fiourishing Of the southern
states. The house Is now used us n

WARRINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular CORRESPONDENT

Nioh Cut HcS Suidr CorreSpOnucnt)
WASHINGTON, November IT, 1893.-
This has been quite as unpleasant week
in administration circles us was that
followed the terrible condemnation of the
democratic party and it's methods at the
polls. Public opinion has made itself
heard by every member Of this admin
is.ration, which is the first and will doubt
less be the last to attempt to drag part
isan politics into the foreign policy OF the
United States. Heretofore it has been
the proud boast OF men OF all political
parties that however much Americans
might differ about home affairs politics
was always dropped and they all became
simply Americans whenever anything
came up relating to American interests
abroad or to our dealings with foreign
nations. But Mr.. Cleveland and his
renegrade Secretary OF State have made
startling change. Il change involving
the use OF the power OF the United States
to overthrow the government OF friend
ly republic and replace it by despotic
monarchy presided over by notoriously
dissoluie woman. and all for no higher or
better purpose than that OF trying to
convince the people that exPresident
Harrison was participater in a corrupt
scheme for the annexation Of Hawaii.
1t 10 no wonder that Mr.. Cleveland
md his cabinet are awaiting with fear
and trcpidation the news from Hawaii
that will tell OF the strangling Of re-
public and the setting up Of a monarchy
by their willing tool. Minister Willis
The manner in which the dastardly deed
was done. il it be yet done means much
for the future OF Grover Cleveland. 1t
may mean simply an unblarchablc
blo'ch upon his name as an American
and President, or it may mean his i'm.
parchment upon high constitutional
grounds and disgracctul exit from public
life. Nearly every democratic Congress
man at present in Washington has either
privately or publicly condemned Mr.
Cleveland for helping to restore the
monarchy OF Hawaii
Ever since the elections the aiminis,ra.
ton ltns been trying TO placate those
democratic Senators aud Representa-
tives who have openly protested against
the unjust treatment OF pensioners which
has been such n conspicuous feature Of
Hokc Smiths management, of the pcnison
bureau. Not only have the pension Of

BRILBRAIN, February 5.-Rain for
several days has caused a flood through
out Queensland. The people in low lying
districts arc suffering greatly. Their
houses are submerged to the second floor
and the water is still rising. The towns
of Bundaberg, Ipswich and Bundambo
are suffering most severely and are
threatened with total demolition. The
inhabitants have deserted the houses,
and those who have not fled to higher
lands have taken refuge in, trees or on
tops of the highest buildings. All domes-
tic animals and hundreds of cattle have
been drowned A large loss of human
life is reported, but nothing definite has
been ascertained as to the total number.
A mine near Bindamba was flooded and
several miners were drowned. In Ip-
switch many houses have collapsed.
Goodna is entirely under water and the
inhabitants have taken refuge on the
hills. Hundreds are homeless, without
shelter and without food. The loss of
property is enormous. Cattle have been
drowned by thousands, railways have
been washed out and telegraph lines
have been broken.

BATH, February 4.-The ram Katahdin
went off at precisely o'clock The Hy Q
Light Guards fred national salute at a
moment before. Miss Soley was pre-
sented with pair of silver shears by the
men of the works with which she ipped
the ribbon that held the bottle of wine.
It dropped with just force enough to
break on the steel ram. The band greet
ed the Katahdin as she went off. There
were about six thousand present, all the
buildings being full of people. Edison
was expected on the last train, but did
not arrive. The principal guests of the
evening were Senator Hale, Assistant Sec
retary Soley and Deacon White.
Almost Immediately after the launch
the men assembled at the yard and pre-
ceded by the Lewiston Brigade Band and
a detachment of Bath business men
marched GAS strong to Elmhurst, the resi-
dence of General T. W. Hyde. They
bore torches and made the march merry
with fireworks and red light. A sled
decorated with flags made a triumphant
chariot for the General and was conducted
to the Alameda, the largest building in
the city, where tables were spread for
exactly 75o. The hall was completely
filled on the floor, and in the gallery were
several ladies, among others Esthel Hyde,
the talented daughter of the General, and
Miss Una Soley, the lady who christened
the ram. An elaborate menu, was dis
cussed of oysters, salad and other
dainties, forty walters being in attend
ance. Chas. Schofeld, president of the
employees committee, served as toast
master. Mr. Schofeld read telegram
from the National Home proposing three
cheers for Hyde. They were given with
will.

A PROBABLE STRIKE.
Trouble Threatened at Lewiston by the
Mule spinners.

FALL RIVER, Mase., February AT q
meeting of the executive committee of
the National Mule Spinners Association,
held privately in Boston, Wednesday, it
was decided to allow the spinners of
Lewiston, Me-, to strike for an advance
in wages. The Lewiston mills did not
advance at the time of the increase in
wages in New Bedford, Lowell and this
city, and repeated demands on the part
of the spinners have met with no favor
from the authorities. Senator Howard
was present at the meeting and it is un-
derstood here he will advise the strikers
from time to time. The time fix d up
on for leaving the mills was not deter
mined by the committee but when it
comes the spinners will be supported by
the national union.

give you work till the fame of Bath shall
extend thfonghout the World,'

give you WOfK I'LL Tie Tame or BaIn Shall
extend throughout the world.''
j. R. Soley, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, made mos eloquent speech COM
plimenting Bath and Maine shipbuilders.
The navy is tile biggest employer of la
1t has distributed it's work from Maine
to California. it has given $4,000 men en-
ployment in 10 years, it has developed
skill equal to any in the world. The navy
is always glad to give your ancient ship
building city work. If any establish
ment deserves to succeed it is one in
which such good feeling exists between
employer and employees.
Senator Hale made perhaps the best
speech of the evening. He responded to
the Maine delegation. He believes in
great industrial establishments through
the work of reestablishing the navy.
Great as has been the benefit to the
nation from the possession of a navy it
obtains more from the creation of great
establishments like the Bath Iron Works.
The good feeling, good sense and pluck
all centered in Gen. Hyde and in those
men who enabled us to give to the waters
this masterpiece, is something to be
proud of as well as the pluck which
launched her while the Hudson was
frozen to the bottom. The delegation
knows the day of stagnation has passed
in the Bath Iron Works that has estab-
lished an industry that stands first among
the institutions of thescountry at about a
tenth Of the cost. That one dollar ex-
pended in Maine brings in as much as
five anywhere else. 81 advise my friend
White, Cheers for Deacon White) who
has so much money he don't know what
to do with it, to stop investing
in doubtful enterprises and put it
in Maine. This testimonial is from the
men, because they believe in their en-
ployer and he believes in them. Gen.
Hyde, you are the trustee for hundreds
of homes, see to it that the relations now
existing, remain.'' When Hale sat down
there were calls for White. The toast
master propo ed success to an honest
man. The hall rocked with applause.
He said, II am not SO proud of having
paid my debts in one year as that there
were three hundred men that had conf
dence enough in me to let me try it.'
He then paid an eloquent tribute to labor
and drew sharp contrast between mat
ters here and at Homestead, giving labor
the credit.
The retiring foreman of the boiler de-
partment was given ring.
j. o. Shaw paid an eloquent tribute
to our state, it's great men, it's great in
dustries.

The toastmaster made few remarks
expressing the good will of the men for
their employers and said this demonstra-
ton came from the heart and was sim
cere.
In introducing the toast to the lady
who christened the ship he paid hand
some compliment to Miss Soley, and she
bowed to thunders Of applause.
Mr.. Hanscom, the chief of construc-
ton, responded. He spoke of the lady
in complimentary terms and then turned
to the craft 1t was the work of Admir-
al Ammen, but no one had done more
towards bringing it to completion than
Senator Hale. 1t is impossible for one
vessel to combine everything. But in
this craft armament, speed and endul- :
ance are combined and she is her own
weapon. When she makes her
impact at Is knots she strikes a blow of
4O0.0 900 foot tons and is able to send any
craft to the bottom. Changes were
made by the Bath Iron Works that in the
opinion Of experts increased her value
immensely. This was in her armament
speed and coal supply.
