LAUNCH OF THE VALIANT.
W. X. Vanderbilt's Yacht to Be Ready
in July.

New York, May 25.-According to the
latest advices from England w. Il.
Vanderbilts new steel twin-screw yacht
Valiant, which was launched on May 3
from the yard of Laird Brothers. at
Birkenhead, is the finest private yacht
afOat. Among those present at the
launching were the Duchess of Man
chester and her daughter Lady Alva
Montague, the latter performing the
christening ceremony, the Countess Of
Seton, and others.
The chief dimensions of the Valiant
are about 332 feet over all, 80 feet
between perpendiculars, 80 feet inches
extreme beam, depth moulded % feet
6 inches. Tonnage yacht measurement
nearly 2,4OO tons. The yacht has a
double bottom subdivided into ten tanks

ballast. She will be fitted with twin
screws Of bronze and steel, driven by
two sets of triple-expansion engines,
the cylinders being % inches, SO inches
and SO inches diameter, and SO inches
stroke, with enormous boiler power
The intended sea speed will be seven
teen knots in fair weather.
Teak is used for the upper deck and
rails, and also for sheathing the deck
houses and bulwarks. The full brig rig
with which the Valiant will be fitted
will give her very imposing appear
ance. The coal bunker capacity is about
$50 tons, thus enabling long voyages
to be made. The Valiant, like Mr.. Van
derbilt's late yacht Alva, was designed
by st. Claire ByTne, Of Liverpool She
will be fitted with a complete installa-
ton of electric light, two powerful
search lights, steam steering gear, steam
capstan and windlass and a complete
ice-making plant. The decorative fit
lngS of the various cabins have been
specially selected by Mr.. Vanderbilt
and are being carried out by several
Well-&nOWn firms of decorator in Eng
land and France. After the launch the
vessel was taken up to the float, where
the two main boilers, each weighing
about seventy TONS will be put on board
and she will then be placed in dry
dock under shed for completion.
1t is expected that the yacht will be
completed in July, so as to allow Mr.
Vanderbilt to take part in the New York
Yacht club cruise in August.

the seamen's union; Henry Fournace,
secretary of the Amalgamated associa-
cation; Charles DIPPED, of the cigar

ers' union, and William Moeschler, Of
Cream city typographical union, in re-
lation Of the action of the police on and
about nOn-uniOn vessels.
The representatives Of the labor Or
CARNATIONS claim that policemen go on
board these vessels without being called
and without the slightest evidence of
disturbance and in direct violation of
the law and ordinances; that their OBJ
iect is to keep union men from going
on board, that policemen have applied
for details for this kind Of service, re-
garding it as soft snap to loaf about
on ship board and :" drink the captain
whisky and smoke his cigars"
The mayor assuerd the delegation that

BOTTLE-MAKING
An Effort Being Made To Do the Work
by Machinery.

! At the present time the eyes Of the
bottle-making world are tnned toward
Woodbury., n. J., for in thar quiet vii
lage the destiny Of me bottle t'' Ter
may be said to be On trial The ASh-
ley bottle-making machine has been
set in operation - see If 1t cannot
do the work of hu nan hands AMI rs.
and do it more ecolO .ntcally.
The machine was described before
the British association in 1889, when
it was stated that bottles had been
made by the machine, quite complete,
which had successfully been subjected
to an internal pressure of 300 ponds
to the square inch. The career of the
machine in England, we believe, has
been most unfortunate, but this does
not at all diminish the interest which
its introduction into America has ex-
cited.
The advantages to be gained by the
use of such a machine are much too
solid to permit small obstacles to him
der its success. The trial run at Wood
bury has been fairly successful. The
automatic principle has not been de-
yeloped to the full extent in these
but it has been carried so far
that one man and three boys-none of
them necessarily skilled glass b] wers-
can operate two machines, Zach of
which is capable of turning out two
bottles a minute.

Superior Tailor Claims to Have Been

WOlfan, Il tailor of West Superior, re
turned from Swan River, about seventy
miles from here, and tells a sensa tional
story of being drugged, robbed and
left senseless on the railroad track.
He claims that in walking from Swan
River to Camp No. 1 of the Swan River
Logging company he sat down to rest
and that soon afterward two men
approached him from behind, placed
their hands over his face and he tainted.
He says he awoke only few minutes
before a train came along and that he
found his pockets had been rifled and
$110 taken. He believes the robbers
were men employed in the camps as
they wore lumbermen's garb.

KINGSTON GETS IT.

Ashland, Wis, May 25.-The jangle

now favorable for Senator Kingston.
The latter has the support of Villas,
Mitchell and Knight. Michael McGui-
gan has the support of Congressman
Lynch.
1t is believed a combination has been

Guigan agrees to throw his strength to
Kingston, the latter agreeing to appoint
him deputy. This shuts out Thomas
Wentworth, an old soldier democrat,
who was chairman of the city central

Want the President to Close the Fair
Sundays by Force.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Opinions
here in official as we'll as unofficial
circles is that the Worlds Fair is to be
open Sundays despite any obstacle
that may be interposed. The religious
assemblies in convention here-the
Presbyterian assembly and the
Methodist Epworth League-are con-
WINGED that despite all their protests
the fair will be opened Sundays. They
are preparing to adopt resolution
the President and will no doubt
make an appeal to him to exercise au-
to ;ratic authority in the matter.
They are averse to the plan OF
submitting the question to the
courts and talk as if they expect the
federal authorize s to resort to force to
prevent Sunday opening. But their
addit onal appeals will not avail At
torney-General Olnev is being deluged
with protests against su bmitting the
con reverted question to the courts
and most of these protests come from
religious leaders or bodies.
Senator Lindsay of Kentucky, for
mecly Worlds Fair Commissioner,
says he is decidedly opposed to Sunday
opening because the religious senti-
ment of the country is against it. He
says that if the Fair is opened Sundays
it will result in great financial loss, as
religious people viii refuse to patron
ize it. In this opin ion the Senator is
not in accord w tn most of the Senators
and Representative now in Washing
ton. They generally believe that sun.
day opening will greatly benefit the
Fair.
