AROUND THE WORLD.
The Voyage of the Bath Built Steel Yacht
Eleanor.

Norwich, December 11.-William A.
Slater. of the New York and Eastern
yacht clubs. is building magnificent
yacht, on which he. his wife and family
and a party of friends will start next
June on voyage of two years around
the world.
That the prestige of American built
yachts shall not suffer when in foreign
waters, Mr.. Slater will swing from his
davits Yankee sail boat, built for rae
ing purposes; and in order to help the
United States to still hold up her head
among the maritime nations of the
world, he will take ON board four ap-
prentice boys, from good American fam
/ lilies, for the voyage, after the custom
practiced in the British merchant service.
The yacht will be the steel steamer
Eleanor, New York yacht club and East
ern yacht club. She will be bark rugged.
She will be full steam powered and have
fullsail area as WE'LL but she will not
defend on her canvas to save her coal
bills.
No money will be spared in making the
cruise delightful one. In the first
place, the Eleanor will be ship of 1880
tons. She is in such an advanced stage
of construction at the Bath Iron Works
that the most liberal plans for the COM
fort of her future guests and crew are
now being perfected.
The Eleanor will steam directly to
Norway, and spend the summer of 1894
in the ''land of the midnight sum- and
will afterward go to st. Petersburg
Leaving the chilly waters of the North,
the itinerary of the trip will include a
run through the Mediterranean. There
may be stops meanwhile, but there is
not likely to be any prolonged halt until
Egypt has been reached. Afterward the
yacht will run into the Indian Ocean
through the Suez Canal. Mr.. Slater has
long been desirous of visiting Mozam-
bique and other countries in the NADIA
gascar quarter. Possible danger from
the people. there will be warded off by
dependence upon the armory, and while
in these waters the Eleanor's passengers
will live on her after deck under avn
ings.
The ship may reach India during the
winter of 1894, but there will be no hllr-
ry. and when the summer of 1895 rolls
around the Eleanor will find herself
about China or Japan. The winter of
1895 will find her among the palms and
guavas of the Pacific islands, and there
will be run to the Sandwich Islands.
to San Francisco, and return to New
York by way of Cape Horn.
The Eleanor will be one of the largest
steam and sail yachts of her type afioat
She will cost about $250.0O0 She is 231
feet over all, 20S feet on the water line,
80 feet beam, II feet inches deep, with
mean draft of 13 feet A inches
The engines will be triple expansion,

Waterville, December 11-Before Judge
Philbrook this morning, one of the
boldest burglars of the season was tried
and bound over to the grand jury. The
circumstances of the burglary were as
follows:
Last Saturday evening the burglar,
who now gives the name of Jones, went
to Benton Falls and entered the store OF
W.K. Lunt, Esq. Mr.. Lunt is the Oldest
merchant in Benton, having kept the
store in which he is now for about fifty
years. He is about seventy years of age;
and the freebooter counted on an easy
raid. Entering the store, he found Mr..
Lunt alone; and called for cigar. Mr..
Lunt went behind the counter, and look
ing up to the man to hand him the
cigar box, he saw a revolver staring him
in the face. Now, old man, hand over
what money you have, quick, or | will
blow your brains out" said the free
booter, with an oatn.
MI. .Lunt cannot explain how or why he
acted He only knows that he found
himself dashing around the counter and
seizing the ruffian with the agility of q
young man of twenty, he took the
astonfshed fellow by the throat, pushe
him out of the dooor and slammed the
door after MIN. The would-be robber,
or because he lacked nerve, did not
shoot.
AS soon as he had elected the fellow,
Mr. Lunt gave the alarm and the man
was arrested.
Jones is quite we'll known in Water
Vile, where he works in Goddard's stove
foundry.

dumped watches, jewelry and money.
AS he entered the car, he laid the express

had finished the passenger coaches, the
uproar became SO great that he jumped
off the other end of the train without
coming back for the package or molest-

afterwards. Careful observation proved
that the berg was over nine and half
miles long and 1000 feet high. All hands
were Immediately put to work to clear
away the wreckage, after which the
vessel proceeded under jury rig to Bar
BADGES. Captain Larrabee navigated the

tion described with all hands well. The
crew consists of sixteen men. On board
is also the captains sister, who resides
in Boston. After the collision the helms
man deserted his post in fear and Miss

House Mr.. Cul berson tried to call up the
bill relative to captured and abandoned
property claims. This reopens claims
rejected on the score of disloyalty. !.
MIR. Reed insisted that the bill was too
important to be considered in the morn
ing hour.
After Mr.. Culberson had vainly striven
to have date set for considering the
bill, the reports were ordered to be
printed and the bill went over.
Mr.. Dockery, chairman of the joint
committee to investigate the government
departments, introduced a bill making
certain changes in the matter of postal

Joint commission. Among the changes
made by the proposed bill is the abolish
ment of the postal notes. 1t provides a
new schedule OF fees for money orders

were known to be jealous. thorough-go-
ing, almost unscrupulous supporters of
the Administration. The appointment
of commissioner with paramount"
authority of the United States in these
islands, Mr. Hoar regards 'as being as
gross violation of the Constitution of the
United States as was ever charged upon
or imputed to any public official.
Mr.. Hoar in the course of his speech
said that he wanted the matter to be
separated from all questions of annexa-
ton or protectorate: and that, if it were
true that the President of the United
States (the Senate in SESSION. authorized
an officer to exercise paramount diplo-
matte authority and to withdraw, at his
discretion, or to land the forces of the
United States, he was standing on very
slippery ground and had better step on
to terra firma rapidly and at once. If
such an official entered on that duty and
established correspondence with pri-
vate persons about public affairs of the
government to which he was commits
stoned, and if his conduct was ap-
proved by the President, and the Pres
ident made himself an accomplice after
the fact, he (the Pres1dent) was standing
on ice not only very slippery but very
thin. Laughter.
Mr.. Grey replied very briefly to what
he called Mr.. Hoars ''scolding' and then
the resolution went over till tomorrow.
The House joint resolution authorizing
the Secretary of War to permit the use
of the monument lot and other reserva-
tions in Washington City by the Knights

The bill to repeal the federal election
laws was referred to the committee on

to remain on the calendar.

HIS FRIENDS ALARMED.
The Presidents Trouble Much More
Serious than TOOthache.
THE OPERATIONS HAVEsIMPAIRED
HIS ROBUST HEALTH.

| The Rumor that a Third Recourse to
Surgical Aid Had Been Necessary
Causes Much Concern in Washington
The Previous Operations Were Not Fol-
lowed by the Expected Return to
Hea1th-saturday Medical Aid Was
Again Summoned.
Washington, December 1.-THE publ
cation Saturday of the secret of Presi-
dent Cleveland's mysterious visit to New
York, November Is, with the revelation
| of the fact that he received treatment
| then at the hands of distinguished
| specialists created profound sensation
! in Washington. In spite of the vehemence
with which Mr.. Cleveland's friends have
denied that the operation to which he
submitted on board of the Oneida last
| summer was of serious character, and
| in spite of the earnestness with which
| it has been asserted over and over that
the President was in robust health, it
has been known here among those who
are on terms of intimacy at the White
| House that the operation performed by
| DR.. Hasbrouck was not trivial in nature.
| and that the occasion for it was some
| thing far more serious than the tooth
| ache.
| But it W as hoped for time that it had
| been SO thoroughly effective as to obviate
| the necessity for any further surgical
attendance to restore the President once
| more to the eond ition of vigorous health
which has always been his boast.
| After. the Presidents return to Wash
| ington, however, with his renewed ap-
| plication to the details of official busi-
ness, it became evident that his former
| sturdy health was not returning, and in
time the anxious eye of his physician
| to the condition which had necssitated
| that delicate and painful operation.
! 1t was for the puprose of receiving
| proper treatment, in view of this reap
/ pc rance of the dreaded symptoms, that
| the President made his carefully guarded
and mysterious visit to New York.
| There is reason to believe that the
operation performed at that time was
not as satisfactory as that aboard the
| Oneida. The symptoms had been so
| carefully watched that the disease had
made but little headway.
On his return to Washington he
plunged into the preparation of his mes
sage. AS soon as it was off his hands,
and Mr.. Cleveland was able to look for
ward to day or two of respite from
official cares, he sent word to DR.. Bryant
to come to Washington at once, and on
| Saturday morning the physician appeared,
accompanied by DR.. Gibson, who had
| been present at the time of the treat
ment received at New York. 1t is i'm
| possible to say whether an operation of
| any kind was performed At any rate
| the friends of Mr.. Cleveland feel grave
| alarm for the future.

Paris, December 11.-In the Chamber
of Deputies today, the Prime Minister
laid before the House the. bills that the
Cabinet had decided upon modifying the
press laws by providing for severe
punishment for melting to crime; pro-
viding against the association of evil
doers; respecting explosives, and de-
manding 100000 francs for police pur-
poses. The four bills were directed
Prime Minister asked that the bill rela-
tive to the press laws be at once dis
cussed. M. Casimir-Perier declared that
the governm ent would make the vote
question of confidence. The vote on
the question of immediate discussion
was 389 for, to 1856 against.
NJ. Casimir-Perier said it was thu" duty
of The government towards the nation to
ask vote for the suppr ession of printed
indictments to crime. The bill was then
adopted Alb to 63.
Immediately after the press law was
passed, Premier Casimir-Perier drove to
the Senate and that body unanimously
voted urgency on the bill
Now that Auguste Valiant the
bomb thrower, has fallen into the hands
of the police, after doing all the evil he
possibly could, he is not lacking defend
ers or papers that will publish the
screeds of his sympathizers. A Socialist
named Pemjean has written letter to
the Temps defending Valiant, and that
paper publishes it; Pemjean, among
other rawlings says, that the deed com.
mitted by Valiant will have the ap-
proval of most anarchists Nobody
dou BITS this statement, as cowardly at
tacks upon s,unsuspecting men, women
and children is the distinguishing feature
| OF the anarchist warfare. The fact is
cynically commented upon that an
anarchist never displays any courage
until he is safely locked up, and then
| and his fellow criminals, safe in the
knowledge that the law he processes to
hold in contempt will protect him from

ettack even one man, where the individ-
aaE would have an opportunity to de.
fend himself. To say that popular feel.
4 ing against the anarchists is extremely
| bitter is to put it very mildly, and the
popular demand for sternly repressive
measures is certain 80 force the govern
ment to adopt far more stringent pre-
cautions than any that have yet marked
the counter revolution against lawless

House by Wednesday of this week, but
that it was doubtful when the majority
report would be finished. From present
appearances, the report will not be ready
before the last of the week. The gener-
al outline of the minority report is now
being written. The details willIanot be
added until the report of the majority is
in the hands of the Republicans. Under
the most favorable circumstances the
minority report will not be completed
for 10 days from this date. The duties
on lead products are changed from ad-
valorem to specific duties and are made
one half of the rate of the present law.
