The Latest Candidate.

The last name mentioned in connection
with the vacant Italian embassy is that
of Mr.. John Cadwalader of Philadelphia.
He is known to stand high in the esteem
of the President and his selection is not
at all improbable. He was collector OF
customs at Philadelphia during the first
Cleveland administration and was a promi-
nent candidate for the British embassy.
Withdrawing in favor of Mr.. Bayard, at the
instance, so it is said, of the President.
He next became an aspirant for the Rus
sian mission, but his friends are now en-
deavoring to secure for him instead the
appointment of ambassador to Italy, vice
Mr.. Van Allen, declined.

OCtwittfng the Enemy.

Newspaper men are laughing over the
clever device by which Consul General
Wilder. who represents the Hawaiian gov
eminent at San Francisco. was enabled to
use the revenue steamer Corwin for the
transmission OF Minister Thurston's dis
patches to Honolulu.
AS soon as he learned that the Corwin
was bound for Honolulu he teleg-aphed 10
Minister Thurston and received a long
cipher dispatch for President Dole which
with late files of newspapers and his own
reports, were made up into a package and
delivered to sailor on the Corwin who
is warmly in sympathy with the provisional
government. This man is to deliver his
dispatches into President Dole's hands

COAST DEFENSES.
The Subject Giving Trouble to the APP.
preparations Committee.

The question of coast defenses is one that
is giving the House appropriations COM
mittee no little trouble. There are three
considerations involved. First, the scarcity
of money in the national treasury; second,
the difficulty of procuring sites for the
emplacements except by paying extOrtion-
ate rates, and third, the number of large
caliber guns already on hand.
The committee find that syndicates con-
troll all the available land along the At
lantic coast from Portland. Me-, to New Or
leans that is desirable for sites. At Port
land, Me, for example. the committee is
asked TO pay 1000 an acre for ninety acres
of land which, it is claimed, is worth only
a small part of that figure. 1t is estimated
that it will cost several million dollars to
protect Portland alone. The committee feel
the necessity of pushing the work of coast
defenses as rapidly as possible. but they
ind it embarrassing to do so with the treas
ury deficiency on the one hand and ruinous
prices for sites on the other.
To Cut Down Work.
1t has been suggested, in view of the large
amount of heavy ordnance already manu-
featured, that further work at the Water
VIlet arsenal either be suspended the force
or workingmen decreased or wages mate
rally reduced. The sentiment of the COM
nlttee Is strongly opposed to any interior
eASS Win the government arsenal at Troy.
The guns turned out at Watervliet are of
the highest efficiency and creditable to the
| officers in charge. The committee feel. too,
lhat the temporary closing down of the
WORKS or reduction of the working force,
WOULD lose TO the government the services
vi many skilled mechanics, who would nat
uraLy seek employment elsewher and that
me splehulo organization that now exists
would De disrupted and that a year or
more would be lost before the arsenal could
De put in good working position again.
Nothing Over I2-Inch Guns.
Inc committee have decided not to recon-
mend the manufacture OF any guns larger
IN size than twelve inches. There has been
Ioud caIl' both from the engineers de-
parunent OF the army and from the Atlantic
coast cities, for sixteen-inch guns. Aside
from the expense connected with their
manufacture 1t costs the government 81. 500
every time one is fired. The colLnittee be-
heFe mat the American coast can be
properly defended with eight. ten and
| tWeIVe-lnch guns and mOrtar. and they
VIII strongly oppose any sLggnst.ons for
the present at least, looking 10 thu bliIdinq
| OF ordnance OF heavier character.

There will be no trouble resulting from

SOME OF THE THRILLING SCENES
In Connection with the Theatre Disaster
in Washington.


in Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 1O.--One of the most
thrilling scenes in connection with the old
Ford's Theatre disaster yesterday, was the
sight Of dozen men who were left in a
corner of the third story clambering down
a hose pipe to the ground.
One of these men, and the first one tC
get down was f. Baier, who worked in the
centre of the third floor. The story can
best be told in his own words
81 was at my desk he said ''when ]
heard a great roar. There was no pre-
monitory trembling or any kind of warn
ing; jus a roar and crash, and the desks
and tables seemed to rise up in the centre
of the floor and then disappear in blind
ing cloud Of white dust.
Il sprang for the rear window and called
to my companions TO follow. Those who
were right near me did so, and we gained
a safe place at the rear of the building near
the windows.
'We were completely isolated, however
with no way TO get down. The floor had
sunk beneath us in front and the building
was still trembling from the shock.
''We did not know what minute the rear
there almost frantic Then / thought of
u reel Of fire hose that l knew was near by
We groped through the binding dust to
this and quickly unwound it until the end
touched the ground. Then l caught hold
of the hose and slid down it, alighting
safely on the ground.
1T was a terrible slide down that hose
from the third story, and ! thought
would never get TO the bottom.
when my companions saw that / was
all right they started down also and every
man in that corner came down on the
hose ~
Captain Griffith, of 427 Tenth street, a
crippled clerk, was at work at his desk
when he heard the crash. Looking up
quickly, be at once dropped on the floor
and crawled under a table.
Then the crash came, the debris just
grazing him. Leaving his canes behind,
which he is accustomed to use in walking
he crawled toward the back alley, where a
friend found and took him home
Five more bodies have been taken from
the ruins making total OF twenty-one
who lost their lives as a result of the casu-
atty. The body of DR.. Nelson was the
last recovered. here are several others
who are yet u4lccJuuted for, but it is not
certain t..nt ra-y are dead.
The tota. number of injured is eighty
seven and out Of this number it is thought
that at least three will die
EXcayat.ng under the front wall Of the
wrecked structure is figured out TO have
been the real cause Of the account

WAsmNeToN, June 10-The terrible nc.
Sident Of yesterday morning in Ford's old
theatre, in which more than score ol
clerks lost their lives, has completely over
shadowed everything else at the capital,
and the one expression heard is the gov
ernment's responsibility in crowding 47o
mortals into a condemned building, and
then allowing workmen TO undermine the
structure so that it collapses over the heads
of the clerks.
This accident has revived the question OF
the safety of the government printing of
fee, and the thousands Of clerks employed
therein to-day are trembling for fear OF
some accident TO the building
The authorities have condemned this
building and have ordered the men out of
it, but the government does not seem TO
mind this warning.
The list of the dead now numbers
twenty, and it is probable that few
more bodies will be found.
