The Gallant Old Warship

OFFICERS TO HER RESCUE.
The Historic Vessel Will Be Repaired
and Fly the Flag She BraveIy
Defended.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

VALLEJO, June 1S.-The historic old
warship Hartford. now moored in rotten
row at Mare Island Navy-yard, where for
many years she has been the toy of the
tide, whose decks fore and aft have
been baptised and washed down with the
blood of naval heroes, is about to be taken
cognizance of and put in commission in
accordance with Congressional legislation.
By recent act of Congress the Hartford
and Kearsarge are to be retained on the
active list of the warships of the American
navy regardless of all expense or the 10
per cent repair law, W hich prohibits the
repair of any ship OF war where the aggre-
gate cost OF repairs required shall exceed
10 per cent of their original cost.
Before placing the Hartford in commits
sion she will be stripped OF her old style of
batteries and fittings, her engines will be
repaired and new boilers put in her fire.
room. The old battery will be substituted
by a corresponding battery of modern
high-power guns, it being the intention of
the Navy Department to equip her with
rifles for her main battery, supported by a
sufficient battery and 4-inch rapid. fire
rifles. The ship will be totally dismantled,
and her sail-carrying capacity will be re-
duced from her former heavy Zig to rig
similar 20 that of the cruiser Chicago
This change will make the Hartford bark
rigged, with no yards ABOVE the topgallant
yards.
The Board Of Survey has surveyed the
Hartford. and estimates and figures have
been given for repairing and refitting
throughout. including the addition of an
electric plant and many modern improve
ments and facilities. These estimates are
now in the hands of the heads of the var-
ous naval bureaus at Was shington, where
they are being revised preparatory to SUBJ
mitting them to Congress, which will be
asked to make the necessary appropria-
ton.
In addition to the money now available.
the Hartford is in bad state of decay in
many places, which necesstates the re-
moving of much of her present timbers,
and to do which it will be necessary to put
her on the ways.
The missioning of the Hartford is
due directly to the efforts of old naval Off

CLEVELAND is DETERMINED.
Will Use Every Effort to Repeal
the Silver Law.

NEW YORK. June IS. - The Worlds
Washington special says: President
Cleveland has decided to exert every infiu-
ence within his province to accomplish the
repeal of the Sherman act, without COM
promise or substitute of any kind. as soon
as possible after the extraordinary session
convenes in September.
The silver men have been so strong In
numbers and so strenuous in their demands
in recent Congresses that few have be-
leved the act could be repealed without
some concession. a month ago the Presi-
dent himself considered the prospect
extremely doubtful. Since then,
however, the people have become
better acquainted with the operation
of the law now in force and the demand
for its repeal is no longer confined to the
East but has reached both the West and
South, and is daily growing in those Sec
tions of the country. The President thinks
1t will continue to grow during the summer
months, and the indications seem so strong
TO his mind that he has determined to urge
the plan of no compromise, and all his eff
forts, so far as silver is concerned, between
now and Sc ptember l will be exerted in
that direction.

They found that death was caused by
the dumpcar falling on him through his
own carelessness in not placing the safety
bar across the opening of the shaft The
evidence adduced before the Coroner's
jury was to the effect that Luna and
Morena were standing by the mouth of
the shaft when the car of debris came to
the surface and was pushed out on the
dump by Johnson. Luna and Moreno in
the meantime stepped on The cage, Lena
giving the engineer the signal to lower
them. which was done. leaving the mouth
of the shaft open behind them.
When johnson had dumped his car he
returned it for descent of the shaft as
usual. not knowing that the cage had been
lowered. The car at once plunged down
the shaft after Luna and Moreno, nearly
dragging johnson with it, who only
saved himself by grasping the railing.
Johnson shouted, Look out down below v'
The engineer hearing it stopped the cage
at once. Moreno jumped behind some
protecting timbers, but Luna was crushed
under the falling car thus adding another
to series of unfortunate accidents con-
nected with this work.

beating him into iusensibility with tiller.
Yerke's partner demonstrated with Aleck,
when the latter choked him and threat
ened to beat him. When Yerke regained
consciousness he and his partner went
ashore, and Yerke made arrangements to
come here and have Aleck arrested. His
partner. fearing Aleck, refused to ac-
company him, so he induced Trimmer to
start with him in fshiug-b0at. 1t is said
that Aleck followed soon after.
On Wednesday Yerke's net and a por-

near here, but neither he nor his friend
Trimmer have been heard of since, and it
looks as if they met death either through
Alexis treachery or by drowning.
