CLOSE Inspection shows That the In

4 CLOSE Inspection shows That the In
iurics 10 the Zig Cruiser Are Not SERIOUS.
PHILADELPHIA, June 0.-rhe big
cruiser Columbia is resting Oh thc blocks
in the dry dock at the League Island
navy yard, high and dry. All of the
water was pumped out of the dock this
morning and a reporter of the Associ-
ated Press made a personal inspection
of the injury to her bottom, which was
inflicted during the recent sea trial of
the cruiser.
The indcntation which has caused So
much comment, and which is now being
inquired into by naval court of inquiry,
is scarcely perclptible. A close in
specu1n is necessary TO discover that
, there is any injury at all. The dent, or
more strictly speaking "scrape," is on
the stafboarG side and directly under
meath the engines. 1t is on the keel
plate, about four inches from the keel,
/ aud eXtCn along the bottom OF the
cruiser for about 30 feet.
Tic injury has every appearance OF
having been made by q jagged rock. II
is scarcely two inches in width and
| shows that tie big vessel careened when
| il first struck the obstacle and then
settled back again, as the marks on the
| bottom IN some places are from five 70
ten feet apart and only two or three feet
in length. Boss Carpenter Spears of the
League Island navy yard, said that he
could not imagine how so slight a. dent
could break the cement which lines thG
inside Of the hull. He was much sur
| prisrd when he examined the cruiser, a:
he fully expected to find the injury
much more serious than it really is
II can be noticed that the injury
caused the big cruiser to leak slightly
as water evades from the inside along
the keel line.
The members Of the court of inquiry
took look at the Columbia to-day ant
were as much surprised us the attache
of the navy yard at the apparent,
tritiing nature Of her injury. The worl
Of repairing will begin at once and the
Cramps will do the work. The cruise
is almost rs clean as the day she wa
launched and it will therefore not b
necessary to scrape her.

TOPEKA, KAN, June 1l.-Mrs. Mary

strong enough to sit up and hold con-

has sent word to her associates in this
city that she will make a special effort
to be here Tuesday to attend the Popu-
list State convention, and that she ex-
poets to be candidate before that con.
vention for Congress-at-large. Mrs.

The only opponent whom she fears is

and it is reported from Washington he
is sincere in his expressed desire to
retire from public life.

by Dr. reck's Death.
Brooklyn. y. ~, Times.
II is regarded as an eminently fit sug-
gestion that the successor of Dr. j.
Oramel Peck as corresponding secretary
OF the Methodist missionary board
should be taken from the New York
East Conference, of which he was
member. DIR, Peck was elected by the
General Conference in 1883 and re-
elected lin 1892. His term, therefore,
does not expire until 1896. The board
of bishops will meet in the fall and
name his successor to hold office until
the General Conference meets. At the
time DR.. Peck was elected be had just
been appointed financial agent for the
Brooklyn Church Society. 1t has been
suggested that DIR. George r. Mains,
who is now superintendent OF the
Brooklyn Church Society, should be
made DR.. Peck's successor in the mis-.
sionary secretaryshtp. The work Of
experimenting foreign missions in
the Methodist denomination has be-
come one of great importance.

seCretaries-the two associated with
DR.. Peck being Drs. G. q. McCaoe and
| A. B. Leonard-and recording secre.
tary, DR.. 5. l.. Baldwin, while Or. John
NJ. Reid is secretary emeritus by reason
OF his advanced age. Another name
suggested for the vacancy from the New
York Conference is that of DIR. George
L. Reed, president OF Dickinson College,
who was for nine years "A pastor in this
city, serving the Hanson Place and Nos,
trand Avenue NJ. L. Churches. DR..
Reed is successful college president as
well as an able pulpit orator, and he is
regarded us one Of the men sure of pre-.
ferment in the churches, Still another
minister brought forward for the place
is DR.. James S. Chadwick, pastor of the
sumner Avenue NJ. Il. Church. DIR
Chadwick was assistant corresponding
secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society
but returned to the pastorate from choic,
three years ago, SO he is hardly likely Il

IN QUIND4Kr.
This Government Does Not Know How to
Ac; i'll the Case OF Captain Thomas at
In Iibertud.

La Lihertnd.
WASHINGTON, June IL. = Captain
Thomas action in aifording asylum to
fugitive officers of the defunct Ezeta
government on board his ship, the Ben
ninrton. at La Libcrtad, Salvador, has
certainly very much embarrassed our
government.
For the third time since news of the
action reached Washington the matter
has been the subject OF earnest consulta-
ton between the President and Secre-
taries Gresham and Herbert. To-day
the conference lasted nearly an hour
The officials refuse to talk about the
matter for publication, but it is under
stood that no positive line Of action has
been agreed upon.
The difficulty lies in the fact that
while the government would like to re-
pudiate Captain Thomas action as con-
tlrming as dangerous doctrine 1t does
not care to face the charge of in
humanity in turning over the refugees
TO almost certain death, and effort now
is to find middle course that will avoid
at once the precedent and loss of life.
