On Board
the Ml2terey.

When Old Sol took off his night
cap yesterday morning and showed his
smiling face into view over the east
ern hills, those who were out early
enough, were at once convinced That
Soldiers Day" would be ali that the
most particular could ask for. The
bay was as smooth as glass, scarcely
enough breeze blowing to start the
great fleet of white winged fishing
boats near the bar, on their homeward
journey. The officers and crew of the
big battleship must have thought the
picture one worthy Of admiration, for
they were out bright and early viewing
the grand panorama up and down the
river.
Many of the old soldiers who came
down on the Potter gazed with curious
wonder at the odd-looking lighting
ship with her low freeboard and white,
glistening turrets. AS they caught sight
of "Big Betsy and Sister Alice" the
two big Pinch guns that crane theis
long necks out Of the forward turret,
they were forcibly reminded Of the little
Yankee shingle with tin-can attach
ments, that so surprised the Merrimac
80 years ago. ~
The Eclipse, with colors flying, was
the first steamer to go to the Monterey,
mad no sooner had she started out than
half a dozen other boats got ready for
business and throughout the day vls-.
itors swarmed out to see the great yes
sell All who went on board were de-
lighted with the courteous attention
shown by both officers and men, and in
addition to answering the almost In

ures that might have escaped the eye
of the visitor were pointed out and ex-
planned About the first thing one does
when safely aboard Is to step forward
and take peep at the two big guns.

interesting place. Here the machinery
for working the guns. the raising cf
projectiles and charge from the maga-
zine below, was explained to the cease
less throng time and time again, until
1t seemed the willing escorts must cer-
tainly drop from exhaustion. 1t was
cosmopolitan crowd that visited the
Monterey yesterday, and they will lonf;
remember the courteous treatment of
the officers and men who showed them
so many kind attentions.
Last night the search lights were
turned on and an exhibition given that
caused considerable excitement all over
the city. The Monterey will remain in
the harbor until tomorrow, and will
receive visitors again today.

ton of taking the steamer for China.

London, July 1.-THE commons in

evening the discussion of clause 8, of
the home rule bill. This clause con-
Germs the question of Irish represen-
tation at Westminster. Henry Seton
Karr, conservative, moved that the Ir-
ish members of the imperial parliament
be elected for constituencies which
would elect the Irish legislative coun-
ell. Under this amendment the Irish
in the houes Of commons would lumber
forty-eight instead of eighty, as pro-
posed by the bill. William Broderick
conservative for Guildford division,
Surry, said the Irish were both impe-
cunious and garrulous, and therein lay
two reasons for reducing their repre-
sentation in the house to a minimum

impertinent and ought not 10 be toll

told Sexton that he was out of order
and must withdraw his expressions con-
cerning Broderick's speech. Sexton eX-
pressed his willingness to obey the
chairman in case Broderlck first ex-
pressed regret.
For two or three minutes the house
was in an uproar. Gladstone spoke a
few words in favor of the chairman's
decision, but added that the person
striking the first blow ought to make

that acting under his advice his hon

statement. The chairman hesitated, and
finally ordered Sexton to withdraw
Sexton shouted back that "such a
course was unprecedented Why am

to the house?"
Karr's amendment was rejected.

they were found. The total dead
bodies so far recovered number fifteen
but the search in the ruins this far has
been very slight owing to the heat and
confusion, and there is no doubt the
list is still incomplete.
1t is certain there were a number OF
visitors and workmen in the building
at the time the fire broke out. There
fore it has been decided to make a mi
mute examination of the ruins, foot by
foot, as rapidly as possible. The elec-
trio light company have number OF
men missing. Four Columbian guards
are still unaccounted for. 1t has been
definitely ascertained that only eleven
firemen lost their lives, as follows;
Captain James Fitzpatrick, Lieutenant
j. H. Freeman, VIM. Denning, P. B.
Breen, Captain James Garvey, John
Mcbride, John Cahill, Paul Schroeder
Captain B. E. Page, Lieutenant Charles
Purvis, ]. A. Smith. There are three
unidentified bodies, known, however,
not to be firemen. There are seventeen
wounded in the hospital and elsewhere.
OF these L. j. Frank, a fireman, will
probably die.
The three bodies recovered from the
ashes have been identified as follows:
Norman N Shartman, electric lineman
of Nevada, Ia; Henry Godolig, paint
er, and Bernard Murphy, a boiler
maker.
The fall of night still finds the ruins
Of the cold storage building unexplored,
and it is just beginning to be realized
that the full extent of yesterdays dis

mountain of rubbish is sifted and cart

Chicago, July 11.-Hon. Whitelaw
Reid, who has been seeing the Worlds
Fair for some days past, expressed
great delight with the fair, saying it
surpasses any previously held. Mr..
Reid was asked If he read ex-Seator In
gals criticism of his candidacy for the
vice-presidency. NO" said Reid, with
a laugh, '"but you know l was not in
favor of the nomination myself, so
probably the ex-senator and I wouldn't
differ materially" The reporter
thought they might, and showed Reid
the passage where ingalls, sneered at
him as "uXorious and an aristocrat,"
objected to his dress, manners and
ways, and spoke of his 'supercilious"
insults to laboring men. THAT" said
Reid, with more seriousness, "'is alb
surd. I have been a laboring man my
self far more thean ingalls, ever was,
and he would probably be puzzled to
specify any insult, supercilious or 9th

honest laboring men. All this talk
about hostility to the national ticket
last year on account of a fifteen-year-
old strike, which was settled to the sat
isfaction of the labor union is sheer
clap trap. Any way, there never were
a thousand votes affected by it in New
York. Certainly it did not turn one,
where a single rifle shot at the Carne-
gle works turned thousands"

cratic?" said the reporter.

notion 1t was Matched by toad from an
egg laid by the cock Of the common

books 1t was usually represented us an
eight linibed serpent or dragon, some.
times with and sometimes without
wings Its name is derived from BASIL
iscos, meaning little king, and was ap.
piled because the creature was figured
with circle Of white spots on its head
which much resembled crown. The
cockatrice, u species Of basilisk, besides
having crown possessed q comb which
was an exact counterpart Of the cocks,
Pliny assures us that the basilisk had
voice which ''struck terror to the
hearts Of men, beasts and serpents. :"
The Bible classes it with the lion, the
serpent and the dragon as one of the most
formidable creatures. Old writers,
Pliny, Bascho and others, say that Its bite
was mortal in every case; that its breath
was suffocating, and that no plant would
grow in the vicinity Of its lair Its dead
body was often used, suspended in bel
