The Long Run of the Philadelphia
Without Stopping for Coal.
From the Washington Star

From the washington star.
Officials Of the navy department
are~very much gratified at the re-
cent performance of the cruiser
Philadelphia, a report of which has
lust been received at the depart
ment from her commanding officer,
Captain Barker. 1t is dated Callao,
August Z, and says that the Phila-
delphia made the run from Rio de
Janeiro to Callao, a distance of 5000
miles, in twenty days and eighteen
hours without stopping anywhere
for coal. This is at the rate of 242
miles a day for continuous run Of
twenty-one days without coaling,
and is regarded by naval officers
here as a most remarkable perform
ance. The Philadelphia left Callao
August Goth for Honolulu, voy-
age of 5000 miles, and it is expect
ed that she will duplicate her last
run and make the entire distance
in about twenty-five days without
coaling. THE authorities at Wash
ington will be pleased to learn that
the Philadelphia made the trip to
this port from Callao in eighteen
days.
Dispatches have been received at
the navy department, Washington,
from Captain Whiting, command
ing the U. S. S. Alliance, dated
Corinto, Nicaragua, August 18th,
saving that political affairs are
quiet and that the health of officers
and crew of the Alliance is good.
Estimates are being prepared at
the Navy department for the fabri-
cation of a sufficient number of
modern guns for the wooden vessels
which can be used for cruisers for
five or ten years more, including
possibly the Hartford, Kearsarge,
lancaster and Alliance. 1t is pro-
posed to provide the four new ships
named with a complete new bat
tery Of four and five inch rapid
fire guns as main batteries, and
the usual number of small guns for
the secondary battery.
When the good old ship Alliance
is relieved from duty on the Pacific
station by the Yorktown or the
Charleston, she will probably be
ordered around to New York and
added to the training squadron.
The peaceful state of affairs in
Peru renders her further detention
ut Corinto almost unnecessary.
1t is generally expected that the
small-arm board, now in session ut
Newport, will report in favor of the
3O-calliber rifle as best for the SER
vice. When The boards report is
received, the department will issue
a circular to inventors of the
country calling upon them to sub
nit specimens of their designs for
consideration by the ordnance

was the bravest soldier that fought in
the war, and do you think would dis
grace his memory by being thief?"
What young lady gave you the
fowers?" asked Walter, much moved by
the boys earnestness.
"A little girl about my age at Judge
Weston's 1t is holiday for me from
the mill and / was going to the
cemetery where father is buried, and
going by the house / saw the young
girl with lots and lots OF beautiful

good and her blue eyes filed with
tears as she gave me almost an arm

"You live here in Eastville, do you?"
"Yes, sir; | have lived here for near

other state to work in the MILL but he
has never been strong since he came
