The superslructure deck is not occupied
save by few rapid-fire guns and search

Although the Olympia is a man-of-war
yet she is a floating palace, and at night
when she steams down the bay with hun
dreds of incandescent lamps Oh board
lighted she will glow as though on fire.
The Union Iron Works people are proud
of their offspring. and have reason TO be.
They have not only constructed a splendid
cruiser, but have made her the most COM
Portable boat in the navy. This fact is
we'll known in naval circles, and many
officers are striving to be assigned TO duty
On her.
After her trial Trip she will be carefully
inspected. and then. if the report proves
sa aisfactory, and there is every reason to
think il will, she will be accepted by the
Navy Department and placed in commits
sion. Then she will steam ont on the high
seas and show to the world that Uncle
Sam can construct the finest of modern
war vessels just as he eXcelled in wooden
ships in the DAYS when the Constitution

McNULTY'S DEATH SENTENCE
Judge ID. ]. Murphy Postpones Sem
tenCe Until TO.MOrrOw.

Judge ID. J. Murphy sat on the bench
in Judge Dangerfield's court yesterday
morning, the object of bis presence being
that it was the day set for the passing of
sentence of death upon John McNulty.
Now that the Supreme Court of the
United States as well as the Supreme
Court of this State has finally rejected all
appeals and decided that McNulty must
suffer the extreme penalty of the law it
only remained for Judge Murphy to return
from his vacation in order that sentence
nigh once more be passed upon the un-
happy man.
McNulty sat in court yesterday, pale and
nervous, while beside him sat Carroll
Cook. who has devoted all his time and
energies in the hopeless endeavor to stave
off the execution that has been hanging
over his clients head for now nearly five
years.
"McNulty. stand up" said the Judge.

with me-"
Judge Murphy replied curtly that the
sentence must no longer be deferred, but
Carroll Cook pleaded that he had yet some
important objections to present t. the
court, and that he had Dy accident left his
memoranda at home that morning He
was ready to go on at anv time.
Under the circumstances Judge Murphy
rather uDgraciously consented TO postpone
sentence until tomorrow morning.

pontoons.
1t is understood that several large pom
toons will be brought down from Mare
Island and put to use on the wreck.
Tugs took out number of barrels OF
cement yesterday afternoon, and Wrecker
Whitelaw will commence to experiment to
patch up the holes in the steamers plates.
1t is not known when the attempt will be
made TO get the New York off the rocks,
but it was rumored yesterday that the Pa
cifc Mail Company intended to wait until
storm came up, but of course this is only
idle talk.
Great preparations are being made by
the several tugbOat companies to take peo-
pie out to Point Bonita to-day. The Fear
less will make three trips from Mission
wharf, while the Katie O'Neil will leave
from Clay street fiat A number of other
boats have also been chartered.
Al White chartered the tug Relief and
started for Mare Island yesterday after
noon to meet the crew of the cruiser Bos-
ton, who have been paid off and are on a
time leave FOR several days.

CLARKE ON BAIL.
The Counselor's Appeal to
the Court.
His Request to Be Allowed to At
tend Divine Service Granted.
Freed Till To-Morrow.

Counselor Alfred Clarke appeared be-
fore Probate Judge Coffey yesterday after
noon and made piteous appeal for mercy,
this time not without effect.
1t is now nearly three weeks since
Judge Murphy of Del Norte committed
the counselor TO Jail for contempt OF court
in not having complied with an order
directing him to file the schedule of his
assets and liabilities for the benefit of his
creditors. Clarke has tried ali sorts Of
ways to get out and has presented wrts Of
habeas corpus before several Superior
Judges, the Suprame Court Of the State
anc United States District Judge Morrow.
All these efforts have been without avail.
and when at last Clarke returned to De-
partment 10 Of the Superior Court, where
Judge Murphy of Del NOrte was sitting,
and threw himsel on the mercy of the
court, Judge Murphy told him very curtly
that he had outraged the dignity OF the
court and might rot in Jail for all he
Judge Murphy cared If he did not choose
To obey the order of the court.
Pm not thief. nor felon, your
Honor" pleaded Clarke yesterday.
There can be nc charge against me that
is not Dailable. | am fighting this question
of mv committal for contempt in the Fed
eral courts, and l propose taking my case
to Washington. Meantime, grant me bail
and let me 60 about my business. Im
hampered, haTassed. tried and worried in
all directions. but surely your Honor will
not permit me TO lie IN jail Tor The rest of
my natural life, as Judge Murphy sug-
gested?"
"WtlI, but, Mr.. Clarke" said the Judge,
''the Presiding Judge is the proper man
to decide this. Why didn't you go before
him yesterday 90
May it please the court, was locked
up. so how could go?"
Judge Coffey thought for while, and
then said that perhaps Judge Murphy, be-
Ing a stranger TO the courts ard attorneys
Of this city, had not shown the same con-
slderation to Clarke as other Judges would,
and so he would give the ounseior a
chance. He would admit him TO bail over
Sunday, the bail to expire Monday at 10
O'clock. when Mr. Clarke must present his
case before Judge Sanderson, the Presiding
Judge. He thought tnat Clarke might be
allowed QUO over Sunday.
On. yes; please, your Honor" quoth
Clarke, his eyes twiUkling, ALFRED Clarke
hasn't been to church for three weeks"
Judge Cuffey smiled good-naturtdly and
said that bail might be fixed at $1,000.
Clarke must understand that he must sur
render TO his bail OD Monday at 10 O'co k
in Judge Sanderson's court. The coun-
selor cbeerfully agreed to this, remarkIng
that one must go 10 Judge Coffey to OBJ
tain Justice, and bowling pleasantly to the
Judge and smiling preheDsively at the
amused spectators present, he left the
courtroom without once having requested
his Honor to kindly note an exception" :"

termed the Steerage. Here, again, the
mesSrOom is separate from the other
apartments. On some of the ships in the
navy the naval cadets. assistant engineers
and assistant surgeons have to bunk in
one room and eat in the same place. But
Cd he Olym pia the Staterooms are separate
and are much larger than those on a pas
senger steamer They are fitted with nu-
merOus lockers, large chest of drawers
and strOng-boX. Bathrooms are close at
hand for both ward and steerage officers.
The quarters for the admiral and captain
are finished in mahogany, and those of
the wardroom and steerage in teak and
ash. The ship Is literally alive with speak
ing tubes and electric bells. The captain
can lie on his ca we'd mahogany bed and
talk with the chief engineer, the executive
officer, the watch officer on the bridge, the
navigator in bis office or the surgeon. By
pushing an electric button he can sum-
mon his servant or anybody from any
rest in his bunk and talk with men in the
bowels of the ship WHO are feeding the fires
or watching the machinery.
Another system of tubes also runs
throughout the vessel and through these

do the work; turning one way the foul

such that it would be almost impOssl BILE

have for her feeling akin to that for
human being. who say that she is going to
surprise everybody, and that within few
days the honorS for speed will be wrested
from Cramps, the Eastern builders, and
belong to the Pacific Slope.
The contract under which the Olympia
was built calls for a speed of twenty knots.

and half knots on her trial trip, the
Union Iron Works will net the handsome
sum OF 100000. and should she develop
the speed of twenty-five and half knots
fortune of half a million dollars would
fall to them. That is why such tender
care is being taken of the machinery and
every bearing is being gone over.
Members OF the trial board and otner
naval officers have been inspecting the
cruiser within the past few days, and she
is pronounced by all the most com Portable
craft a1Oat. She is indeed, according
to the familiar advertisement, furnished
with every modern convenience, and
her officers will have as many comforts
aboard as they would on shore in a hrSt-
class hotel, while the rooms are much
larger.
The quarters for the admiral and cap
tain occupy respectively the port and star
board SIDES of the cruiser aft Of the main
mast The suites OF rooms are similar,
save that the admiraPs is eighteen inches
wider, so to describe one is to describe
both. A private entrance from the deck
leads into little hall and that opens into
a ception-room. Between the admiraPs
and the captains reeeption-rooms are fold
ing doors. and the two apartments can be
thrown into one, which will be the entire
width of the ship. Aft of this is cozy

HUNTING FOR A ROBBER.
An Armed Patrol ON the Lake Honda

Since Superintendent Weaver of the
Almshouse was held up and ROBBED, some
nights ago, while on his way home with
his wife. four special policemen armed
with Winchester rifles, under command of
Chief Mclaughlin of the Almshouse
police, have been ratrolling the Lake Honda
road nightly on the chance of being BILE
to capture the daring high wayman. ANY
person met on the road between sundown
and daylight is compelled to give an ac-
count Of himself.
The highwayman is known to the city
police. and they are also on the lookout for
him. He is coored man, and the Weaver
robbery is not the first he has been known
to perpetrate.
A few days ago a colored man answer
ing to the description OF the highwayman
was seen by Mr.. Weaver to leave the road
and disappear in the bushes on the hill
side. A couple of men from the Aims
house armed with shotguns went after him,
but failed to find him.
