PACIFIC LINERS.
Relative Merits of American and
English Built Vessels.

Philip Hichborn, naval construc
tor, has some interesting things tc
say in the North American Review
about the large steamers that touch
at Honolulu. Regarding the City
of Peking, which left this port last
Wednesday, he says she is better
and much more profitable steamer
than the China. The former was
built in Philadelphia in 1874 and
the latter in Glasgow in 1889. The
City of Peking at 13 knots an hour
will consume only 68 tons of coal a
day, while the China at the same
speed will use up 81 tons. The
more modern built English boat is
way behind the American craft in
point Of economy of fuel.
Quoting Mr.. Hichborn's lines is
the following: Taking a few in
stances of well-known American
built steamers, we find the Louisi-
ana, of 2S40 tons, consuming only
81 tons at speed of 14f knots /;
the Mariposa, 1858 tons, burning
80 tons to make 144 knots,
and the San Pablo, 3119
tons, requiring only 50 tons
at IL knots, and 40 tons to make
IA knots. Then there is the Aus
tralia, 2730 tons, a British steamer
chartered for the San Francisco
and Melbourne route, originally
fitted with compound engipIand vi

THE LOYAL LEGION.

The national convention of the Loyal
delegates who have been the guests of
the city the past three days leave with
the feeling that they have been we'll en-
tertained. The people of st. Paul have
never derived more enjoyment from en-
tertaining than on this occasion.
The Loyal Legionis composed of those
who were commissioned officers on the
side of the Union during the war of the
Rebellion, and the sons of the commits
stoned officers. both dead and alive, of
that and all other wars of the United
States. The national conventions are
made up of delegations from the various
communicates of the country.
This convention has afforded many
ST Paul people an opportunity to see
for the first time several Of the most dis
tinguished officers of the late war living.
Gen. MILES, who stands next in rank to
Gen. SCHOFIELD in the regular army,
has worldwide fame as an Indian
fighter, and, though young officer dur
ing the war, he gained great distinction
through gallant and efficient service.
When the war broke out he was young
dry goods clerk of Boston, and enlisted
as private soldier. He was courageous
and bright, and gained rapid promotion,
soon rising to the command of regl-
ment. The rest of his record is still
fresh in the public mind. Few men of
the nation have so distinguished a per-
Sonal presence as Gen. MILES. And,
besides being most able, gallant and
distinguished officer, he is man whose
personal character is in every particular
above reproach. 1t is expected that
two years hence, upon the retirement of
Gen. SCHoFIELD, he will be made the
commander of the army.
Gen. SWAIN, who made the able and
witty speech at the Metropolitan opera
house Wednesday evening, lost leg at
Gettysburg. He was one of the great
heroes of the war, and is now one of
New York City's great lawyers.
There were Gen. MERRILL and many
other generals, also colonies, captains
and lieutenants. who faced the enemy
with untiinching courage, and made for
themselves records which will be
cherished by future generations.
Among the young men present who
are members of the order through their
ancestry, st. Paul furnished the one with
the most striking record. He is RUKARD
HURD, WHO has lived in the city about
three years. Mr.. HURD's great-great-
great grandfather was soldier in the
Revolutionary war; his great-great
grandfather was soldier in the war of
1912; his grandfather was a soldier
in the Mexican war, and his father was
an officer in the War of the Rebellion.

BUSINESS VS.. POLITICS.

1t is rare that a newspaper gives in
the same issue views so differing as to
the causes of conditions as did the Dis
patch in its report of Gov. MCKINLEY's
speech to the convention which placed
him again in nomination, and in the two
signed articles by eX-Gov.' MERRIAM
and Gen. SANBoRN,, all members of the
same school of politics. 1t is rare that
the bane and antidote are given in the
same dose.
Gov. MCKINLEY assails the admins
tration and the party that put it there
as the cause of the financial depression.
The manufacturing interests and the
capital which is their motive power are
alarmed and uneasy. They do not know
what is coming in the way OF tariff
changes. Business is paralyzed because
the redemption fund is invaded and the
sacredneSs of the hundred million-dol-
lar limit is denied. Mr.. CLEVELAND
has impaired the confidence of the mon
etary world by not keeping the fund
intact, as he said it should be in 1885.
The administration is responsible for
conditions it did not create, which are a
legacy to it from that of Mr.. HARRISON,
he admits; but 1t Is responsible for their
continuance, because it could restore
confidence by simply declaring that the
policy Of Republican administrations
should not be disturbed. The governor
either has t0FGotten what put Mr..
CLEVELAND in the presidential chair, or
he believes that it would be right for
Mr.. CLEVELAND to set aside the decree
which made him president; that the de-
cisou of the people in 1892 should be as
cavalierly ignored by him as was that of
1890 by President HARRISON.
Gen. SANBoRN finds many causes pro-
ducing the liquidation now in process.
all finding source Tin the financial at-
fairs and money transactions of the
country" There has been an excessive
capitalization of railroads. Pensions
demand a half-million dollars daily.
About 100000 is spent each month to
buy and store useless silver bullion, and
many other considerations enter into
the causes of the situation. The remedy,
he thinks. lies in sound financial pol
icy, the return of the government to
its function of coming money from
gold and silver bullion, and the cessa-
ton of issuing paper money, coming
the metals in the ratio of values estab-
lished by the commercial world.
Gov. MERRIAM finds source of
trouble in the assumption by the gov
eminent of banking business and in its
silver policy. The long predicted resultof
this has been precipitated now by the
adverse balance of trade calling for

greenback. are boarded; business is de-
pressed. He, too, agrees with Gen.
SANBoRN in finding in the repeal of the
silver purchase act; the resumption of
coinage functions only; the discal ding
of governmental banking and its re-
mission under national control to pri-
vate business enterprise, the sufficient
remedies.
Both of these gentlemen are Repub-
licans, one lawyer superior to Gov.
MCKINLEY in that profession; the other
banker and man of business, who has
shown better business ability than has
the governor of Ohio. Both agree that
the causes are found roofing back in the
mal-legislation of the Republican party:
in its departure from sound principles
of finance. Neither of them hints at the
change of administration being cause
of the situation, and neither of them
has the hardihood to suggest that the
remedy lies in continuation OF the
causes which have produced it.
The reason for this variance lies on
the surface. Gov. MCKINLEY is poll
tician again seeking office. and with his
aim fixed OIL the presidency; these
gentlemen are business men first and
politicians afterward, but not so i'm
pregnated with politics that they
neither can nor will tell the exact truth
as they see it. 1t is clear case of bust
ness versus politics.

THE HILL BANQUET.

The HILL banquet at the Aberdeen
last evening was the most distinguished
event Of the kind IN the history of the
plates, costing each S25, and among
those present were some of the most
noted men in the world. Among the
people from other countries were Sir
DONALD SMITH, of Canada, and Presi-
dent VAN HORNE, of the Canadian Pa
cifc railway. There was nothing
omitted which could contribute to the
pleasure of the occasion. The repast
comprised everything in the eatable and
drinkable lines of the most costly order,
and the post-prandial speeches were
Drumming with sense, wit and compli-
ment.
1t was an occasion fitting to king,
and fitting compliment to man who
has made himself what he is. and ac-
cOmpliShed what few men in the world
have succeeded in doing. While the
event was swell in the extreme, and the
solid silver punch bowl presented him
costly, it must have been all mere

feeling that he is appreciated by his
fellows who have known him intimately
during the past thirty-five years; for
undoubtedly men enjoy more the praise
of those who knew them in the begin
ming, and have watched their growth,
than any honor the outside world can
beStow upon them.
The demonstration which closed with
the banquet is the most memorable in
our history. and it Will form one of the
brightest pages OF our history.

THE GREAT DISASTER.

The great disaster in Washington by
which many lives are lost seems TO have
resulted from the negligence of the gov
eminent. The building was declared
unsafe many years ago, and in 1855 it
was condemned. The dispatches say
that nothing was done after 1855 to re-
pair the structure. The fact that the
building went down so suddenly seems
clearly to warrant the belief that the
supports were rotted away. Why the
government should have been guilty of
such carelessness it is difficult to con-
ceiye. There is only one explanation
for it. The sentiment in this country
with reference to the safety of build
ings is altogether too loose. Had the
heads of the department which occupied
this building been keenly alive to the
risk of keeping men in an unsafe struct-
ure as they should have been, there is
no doubt but that the money for the re-
pair of the structure. or the occupancy
OF other quarters, would have been
forthcoming. AS it was, nearly 500 en-
ployes Of the government have been re-
quired to earn their daily bread in
death trap.
No doubt the heads of the department
delayed the making of repairs to curtail
expenses; but it is not possible that they
could have had full appreciation of
the risk they were running. 1t is time
the people of the country were at
point where the report of experts of the
unsafe condition OF building were
sufficient to arouse them to immediate
action in making repairs. Since the
first of the year many buildings have
fallen in different cities and caused
great loss of life. 1t is sad to believe
that any portion of the United States
government is among the criminally
remiss parties.
There is an effort to charge the dis
aster to the work of excavating to place
an electric light plant in the basement;
but as the top floors fell first. there is
little reason to believe that this work
had anything to do with it. In any
event, the building had been condemned,
and should have been promptly repaired
or abandoned.

Famous Fight for the Hand OF

Famous Fight for the Hand OF a
SChOOlma'am.
MASON CITY, To-, June Gus Tonic
and Fred Beeyer met in fStic en-
counter near Manly yesterday, and the
cause was bright young schooolma'am
whom each of these young men desired
should preside over mis- household.
Tonic is school director, and in order
that he might press his suit to better
advantage, hired the young lady to
teach in his district. Beever lives in an
adjoining district, but manifested little
disposition to allow the old prestige of
the unmarried directors first mortgage
on the scboOlma'am to be foreclosed,
and by skillful work managed 10 be-
come the favorite. For some time there
has been a good deal of bantering be
tween the two, and yesterday when
they met on the road to Manly they de-
cided to fight it out
They calmly tied their teams to the
fence and, pulling their coats eff, fought
for good hour. They chased back and
forth over half mile of road, and
finally Tonic, getting sufficient. took to
his heels. Beever was the victor, but
he came ont of the fray with both
shoulders diSlOcated.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Jane 9.-The city
is again excited over a murder. Mel
chior Fox, one of the eity's early in
habrtants, left the city early Thursday
night and walked to his summer cottage,
about two miles up the Eau Claire
river. He had complained that tramps
had been breaking in, and he went out
to Investigate. He did not return, and
at noon today his wife and SON.
in-law went out, taking
lunch with them. They found
the body of Mr.. Fox in the little cellar.
Ii had been thrust through a trap door
from the room above. The authorities
made an examination and found the
dead man had been shot through the
heart. His hat and shoes were gone,
and every pocket rifled and turned in
side out. The murder seems to have
been undoubtedly the work of tramps.
and there is no clue. The deceased
leaves large estate and is the inventor
of car coupler that is of known merit.
He carried about $4,000 life insurance
and leaves large family. some of whom

WILL BE CLOSED.
Directors Allowed an Appeal in
the Worlds Fair Sunday
Closing Case.
But the Gates Will Remain Shut
Until the Final Decision Is
Made.

X CHICAGO. June 9. = Judge Woods,
court, decided this morning to allow
the Worlds Columbian exposition to
appeal from the decision yesterday
granting an injunction against Sunday
opening of the fair. The time and
place of hearing the appeal will be fixed
by Chief Justice Fuller. Application for
a supercedeas which would suspend eff
feet of the injunction pending hearing
on the repeal was renewed, leaving
yesterdays decision in force. Judges
Jenkins and Grosscup have not spoken
in regard to the appeal, and decision
has not been made. Attorney Walker,
representing the exposition direct.
orS, moved for suspension OF
the order when it should be entered
and began long argument in support
of the motion. After hearing Mr..
Walkers arguments, Judge Woods an
nounced that the order for injunction
was entered in accordance with the
decision of yesterday. The order
for the injunction was accordingly m de
out and signed. 1t was agreed
however, that transcript of the record
would be made out today, and that to-
luOIIUW luOIuliS atlOlu0y w dlhCI Will
go before Chief Justice Fuller and ask
for suspension of the injunction until
such time as it can be heard by the court
of appeals. On Chief Justice Fuller's
decision hangs the question whether or
not the fair will beopen next Sunday.
Soon after the proceedings in the
federal court, Attornes William Mason,
of this city, and Attorney General Ma
loney, OF Illinois. filed bill for man.
damus in the courts to compel the park
commissioners to open Jackson park on
Sunday.
1t is the intention of the worlds fair
council to ask Chief Justice Fuller, as
a member of the appeal bench. to grant
a supercedeS and to set time for the
hearing of the case. This, if granted,
will necessitate the filing of big bond
by the defendant, but it is not likely
the matter will be heard without the
serious opposition of District Attorney
MilchriSt and other council for the Sun
day clOSerS,
