The democrats of New York have as
surances of a glorious victory next week.
They are in much better shape than the
republicans, and there is much greater
enthusiasm in their ranks. The only
division among them is that resulting
from the nomination of Judge Maynard
for associate judge of the court of APP
peals. Some prominent democrats are
opposing him on the ground that his con
duct in the last election in the case of the
returns of Duchess county is indefensible.
The opposition does not extend down into
the ranks of the party, however. and the
indications are that he Will be elected.

1t is reported that so-called athletic
club, in reality a club for the promotion
and pulling or of prize fights, has been
formed at Jacksonville, Fla, with John p.
Eckhardt as official referee and match
maker Eckhardt, in talking about the
club to Il New York newspaper man the
other day, said the club house would have
a seating capacity of 10000 in its arena
which will be an exact reproduction
of the arena of the Coney Island
club Tie said. further, that "the
club has good financial backing, and
that its first event will be pulled off
in November, with probably Hugh Napier
and Johnny Van Heest or Ike Weir as the
card. He said that the club would not
offer purse for Corbett and Mitchell. ."
1t is probable, however, that Gov.
Mitchell and the other authorities of
Florida, will have something to say before
there are any prize fights in Jacksonville.
The Florida people cannot afford, as a
matter of policy even if they were willing
to foroeo the law, to harbor prize fighting
clubs when every other state is making
war upon them.

a Startling CharEe.

In Washington special to the Phila-
delphia Record the charge is made that
at least six OF the war ships of the new
navy are in an unseaworthy condition
on account of faults of construction
The names of the ships are the battle ship
Massachusetts, and the gunboats
Machias, Castine, Montgomery, Marble
head and Detroit. 1t is alleged that no
one Of these vessels could slfc!y go 10 sea
if ordered to do so; that as matter of
fact, they are fit only for cruising around
harbors Yet these vessels were very
recently constructed and were accepted
only after they had been tested.
1t IS said thar the nara. constructors
declare that there has been and is q shame
ful disregard OF the regulations in cases of
ships constructed at the government
establishments as well as those con-
structod by contractors. Buff what the
naval constructors say is true how is it
they have never mentioned the matter to
the Secretary of the Navy Why
have they remained as dumb
as oysters while those abuses were going
on! If they were aware THAI unautho-
riFed changes were being made in the
plans for the vessels, or that the plans
were not being adhered to, why did they
not report the matter,
If they had done what seems to have
been plain duty we should not now have
six top-heayy and, therefore, unsea-
worthy vessels on hand Ana it must
not be forgotten that these vessels cost
the government very large amount Of
money.
Secretary Herbert is having q pretty
hard time with the navy officers. If all
that gets into print in respect to them
is true, they do not show much regard
for the head of the navy department.
/ They have been accustomed so long to do
| as they please that they think they can
continue to do so. They may find out
they are mistaken. The secretary is a
nild-mannered man, but when he is
aroused he is likely to cause somebody
trouble. He is beginning to show a pur.
| pose to make things lively for the navy
officers, and interesting developments
may be expected.

A PRINCELY SATUGGLER.
Owner of Art Masterpieces. He Sells
Them Contrary to Law.

New York, April 1O.-A cable dis
, ,rA says that the italian courts have
sent to prison for disobedience of Il
royal edict Don Maffeo Barberini Col
onnade Sciarrds Prince of CarbOgnanO,
RovianO, and NerOla, Duke Of Bassanel-
10, Montelibretti, and Auticoli-C Dorado,
Marquis Of COrreSe, count Of PallaZ-
ZuOlo, and baron of SantO Stefano.
The edict which this nObleman dis
obeyed is known as the Pecca edicr,
confirmed in 1888. It's object was to
prevent impectlnious Italians of high
birth from selling the masterpieces in
their art galleries to less impecunious
Frenchmen, Englishmen, and Ameri-
cans. The language of the edict forbids
Owners Of famous works of art to
ALLEVIATE them from Italy, or . to dis
pose of them in any case, except to the
state or with the states consent"
The prince of Sciarra was hard
pressed by his creditors. He informed
the government of his necessities, and
requested that an offer be made him
for the gallery in the Palace Sciarra.
After considerable haggling the govern
ment agreed to take all his best pic
lures for 100000, not excluding the
Violinista, a Raphael, which alone was
declined the offer, and began looking
for unlawful purchasers. He found
them in France. With them he con-
cocted a clever plan.
While q light opera company was
performing at the Quirino thedter, next
to the Palace Sciarra he had about a
dozen large trunks, of the approved
model for road companies, brought with
the baggage of the singers to the stage
entrance. During a performance the
trunks were snuggled into the palace,
and there were packed with twenty
seven of the princes finest pictures
the canvaseS were placed at the bot
toms of the trunks, and over them We're
packed dresses, J1nderclothes, and other
articles of Women's wear On the next
evening the trunks We're returned to
the stage entrance, and thence were
taken inside to the room where the
trunks of the singers had been left.
When the company left Rome for
France the manager, according to his
understanding with the prince, took
along the trunks from the Palace Solar
IA, together with those Of the sing
ers, brought them safely over the
French border and delivered them in
Paris to agents of the purchasers.
Besides the twenty-Seyen paintings
the prince sold five statues from his
gallery. His excuse was that he was
in financial straits, which compelled
him to sell pictures to somebody, and,
as the government would offer only a
ridiculously inadequate price, he had
to sell them to foreigners.
