OF very salty personal card by ]. B.

divorce suit brought by Banker G. N.
Henson, who charges his vile with
adultery and attempt to poison him.
Vert says; Il denounce and brand

slanderous affair. G. N. Henson is a
liar in every word and syllable of the
bill connecting me in any way with

FOUR HUNDRED DROWNED.
British Steamship Victoria Sank ia
Collision Near TripOli.

London, June "a "A tragedy oil the
sea without parallel in the naval
annals of recent times occurred to day.
The British battleship Victora, the
flagship Of the Mediterranean squadron
has completed checkered career by
sinking off Tlipoli, after a collision
with the Camperdown, sistes ship Of
the squadron. This tragedy, resulting
in the loss OF 400 men, including the
vice-admlral of the squadron, Sir Geo.
Trayon, had not been equaled in
fatal results since the sinking of the
Royal George, in 1882, when 600 souls
found their shroud in the oceans
waves. The accounts OF the disaster
are meager, and the responsibility for
this woeful loss OF lite has not been
fixed.
Some OF the ships of the squadron
were maneuverlng, when the PROV
ram of the Camperdown struck the
Victoria forward of the turret on the
starboard side. Through the enormous
hole made by her sister ship the water
poured SO rapidly in thatsh was sin
king before an effort could be made tc
man the boats. Even in the face oil
impossibility the sailors strove t.
close the break, but in the midst Of
their labor of desperation the mighty
hull tnrned completely over and went
to the bottom. Fifteen minutes after
the Victoria had received the fata'
blow, the water closed over her and
the brave hearts that were prepared tC
battle with all enemies Of their COUNT
had ceased to beat because the proba
bic mistake Of a friend was more dead
ly than the designs ofanyioe.

TURKS AS FIREMEN.
The Chicago Fire Ladies' Give Them an
Object Lesson.

Chicago, June 22.-Turkey's fire de-
partment at the worlds fair made its
first run to-day. incidentally the Otto
man fire extinguishers were taught a
lesson of the art of quenching flames.
In his haste to fill an order cook in
the kitchen of the German village spill
ed pan OF grease into the fire. Instant
ly it blazed up it a furious rate. A
guard, seeing the smoke, turned in
call for the fire engines. At the same
time the call was sent in the Turkish
Sc Ian chair cerriers, who act as fremen
when it is pecessry, started to getready
to do their duty. 1t would never do to
90 to fire in the dress OF chair car
rier, SO the first thing they did was to
change their clothing. When this task
was accomplished they got hold Of the
private hand fire engiue and walked
across the street. They put the engine
down carefully and began to look for
water. They talked fast and worked
slowly.
While the Turks were thinking out
loud, the fire department came plung
ing into the village. The Turks trieC
to explain that they were bossing the
fire, but they were thrown into the
street and the fire promptly extin
guished. Then the Turks dragged thei
engine away and lied all afternoon
about how they saveu the German vii
; lage.

MAXWELL'S AXE.
NO MORE LENIENCY In THE POT
OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The Sherman Silver Law the EngrOss.
ing Political Topic.

Washington, June 2l.-It is very
evident that the days of leniency in
the Postofice Department in the mat
ter OF removals Of postmasters is a
thing of the past. They are getting it
(, in the neck now at the rate OF nearly
five hundred q week. The latest list
of appointments of fourth-class post
masters shows 118 appointments, OF
which seventy-three were removals,
The postofices are now being filled
with Democrats at the rate of nearly
thousand week, and about one
half of the number of vacancies are
caused by removals. Mr., Maxwell is
getting his hand fairly in now, and
the Postmaster.G General seems to have
grown tired of waiting Tor Republi-
cans to resign, and it is expected that
the work of decapitation will so on at
the rate of from 500 to 1000 per week
from this time forward until the $4,000
postoffices are filled with Democrats.
THE SHERMAN LAW.
A good deal Of interest is being felt
among members of Congress in the re-
cent published statements in the New
York papers as to the probable vote
of members of Congress on the repeal
of the silver law. A superficial exam
nation of the list published indicate:
a suppositlon by the compilers thai
the repeal of the silver law is possible
Those who know the men and theil
former record, however, and who ana
lyzed the statements closely in th'
light of this knowledge, generally be
lieve that it will be impossible to re
peal the Sherman law without somt
substitute to be adopted in its placr
Whether that substitute will be tn
Bland law, or repeal of the tax OF
state-bank currency cannot be accu
rately predicted, but the chances seen
to be about nine out of ten that a bill
simply repeating the silver law AM
stopping with the repeal, giving moth
ing in the place of that law, could no
