UNITED STATES NAVAL NOTES.
Admiral Walkers Transfer Prac-
tically Settled.

A number of important naval
assignments will be made in the
near future. Captain Phythian's
term as Superintendent of the
Naval Academy is nearing an end.
1t is practically settled that he will
be succeeded by Admiral Walker,
now commanding the Pacific Sta
ton, as soon as he can be spared
from his mysterious diplomatic
function at Honolulu, probably
early in August. Commodore Fyffe,
Commandment of the Boston Navy
Yard, will retire next month on
account of age. Commodore J. n.
Miller, recently in command of the
receiving ship Vermont, at New
York, Will probably succeed him.
The cruiser Charleston, which
has Just returned to the Pacific
station from her visit to Hampton
Roads and New York, where she
took part in the Columbian naval
review, will be put in dry dock at
Callao, Peru, aud given thorough
overhauling, including the scraping
and painting of her bottom. When
the state of affairs in Peru justifies
her departure, she will proceed to
Honolulu and relieve the Philadel-
phia of further duty in those
waters. The Philadelphia has been
at anchor in the harbor of Honolu-
lu for eight months, without a
cruise, aud her bottom is very foul
from an accumulation of marine
vegetation, which is of extremely
rapid growth in that section of
the world. When relieved, the
Philadelphia will proceed to San
Francisco and be put in thorough
repair for further service. Chief
Engineer G. J. Burnap, now On
duty at San Francisco, has been
ordered to Callao for duty on the

The old United States steam
frigate lancaster. built in 1853,
when she was the pride of the navy,
sailed proudly into port yesterday,
says the New York Sun of June 9,
after an absence of three years,
which she spent on duty in the
Chinese station. She trailed be-
hind her 565 feet of red, white and
blue ribbon, at the end of which
there was blown-up bladder bear
ing the painted motto, "New York
or Bustl" She stopped at Quar-
anune long enough to be inspected,
and then swung around off Clifton,
where she anchored at 2 O'clock in
the afternoon. From that hour
until dark neither officers nor men
had moments peace. Half the
population Of Staten Island, appar-
emily, wanted to see the old boat
and talk with the men. One rea-
son for this interest was that the
Lancaster had been nearly five
months coming from Yokohama,
the headquarters Of the Chinese
squadron, and thirty-seven days
coming from GibraIter. The Lam
caster brought with her to this port
the body Of Lieutenant Commander
Joseph Nutrition, who was attached
to the Palos. He died two years
ago at Maukin. Before she sailed
the hat was passed, and the crew
Clipped in to buy the homeward
Pennant. It is made of Chinese
silk. 1t was sewed together on
shipboard, and was hoisted the day
before the frigate sailed.

A PLAIN QUALIFICATION.

We are not disposed to open too wide
the walls of wrath against Cleveland for
not promptly signing the tariff bill as it
passed congress. The boss of the White
House had. as usual, become fixed and
logged in his views about the bill be-
fore it had been passed, and his letter
to Chairman Wilson, which was an ar.
bitrary and unprecedented interference
of the executive with legislation, shove
in advance that he would make O char
acteristic spectacle of himself before the
controversy was settled. Curiously
enough in his letter to Catchings, in
which he gives his reasons for not sign
ing the bill, but letting it become law
by the expiry of the constitutional time,
Cleveland advances arguments in praise
of the msasure that ought to have been
conclusive to any reasonable mind to
justify him in signing it. We shall
merely quote this significant passage:
at (ths tariff billy presents vast inn
provement upon existing conditions. 1t
will tighten many tariff burdens that
now rest heavily upon the people. 1t is
not only barrier against the return OF
mad protection. but it furnishes van
tage ground from which must be waged
further aggressive operations against
protected monopoly ana governmental
favoritism."
Surely, if Mr. Cleveland was sincere
in this statement. he should have signed
the bill at once. Had he done 80 be
would have saved millions of dollars to
the treasury and prevented a gross
abuse which was rendered possible by
his course in permitting the measure to
only become law by the lapse OF time.

New YoRK, Aug, 3l.-The receivers
of the Union Pacific Railway company
have decided to pay overdue interest oil
the Utah and Northern first mortgage
bonds, amounting to 1854, 700, and the
Utah and Southern extension bonds,

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 3l.-President
Clark OF the Union Pacific today con-
firmed the report that the Union Pacific
receivers have decided to pay the over
dus interest OF the Utah Northern first
mortgage bonds, amounting to 1854, 100
and the Utah and Southern extension
bonds. amounting to S34, $50.
Clark stated that the action OF Judge
Riner regarding the Oregon Short line
would undoubtedly meet with the APP
probation of the majority OF the stock
holders, and that the Union Pacific
would likely continue in control of the
Short line and the key to the situation
in the northwest.
As to the business outlook. Mr.. Clark
was not inclined to cay much, hoping,
however, that the clouds might lift and
the year close with something to the
credit side of the ledger. The president
of the Union Pacific will leave for st.

TWO OF A KIND.

Mrs. W. TX. Vanderbilt Also Accused OF
Undue Intimacy.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3l.-The Herald says:
Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt has been unpop-
ular socially for a long period. Two
summers ago comment on a filtration

Belmont was very general and unfsvora-g
BILE, and only the immense wealth OF the
family kept condemnation down. They
were constantly together, and he was
one of the few visitors admitted to Mar
BILE house. Their intimacy was 30 nota-
bic that the general talk was that
divorce would be- procured. After Mr..
Vanderbilt returned to Newport gossip
increased. So far as could be judged
outward harmony prevailed, and when
Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt left Newport
in the early autumn they drove to New
York on brake with four horses. Mr..
Belmont was one of the party and con-
tinued with them to Oakdale, their Long
Island country seat. Mr.. Vanderbilt
was in England seeing to the construc-
ton of his new yacht during the follow
ing winter; Mrs. Vanderbilt remained
at her Fifthavenue residence, and Mr..
Belmont continued his attentions. Early
in the season OF 1898 Mrs. Vanderbilt
returned to Newport and opened her
Marble house, and affairs were much
the same as usual until the arrival of
Mr.. Vanderbilt. After that there was a
visit TO Chicago, with Mr.. Belmont on
hand as ususl. and then came the pro-
jscted trip on the Valiant, which ended,
as everyone said it would, disaatrously.
Mr.. Belmont. it ia believed, was per-
suaded with great difficulty to go. He
is not man of means. 1t was the talk
at the time that w. S. Hoyt, who was
urged to be one of the party, declined
when he ascertained that Mr.. Belmont
was to go along. General gossip at New
port now is that w. X. Vanderbilt wants
to be free and marry the duchess OF

AN APPEAL TAKEN.

The southsrn Pacific Not Satisfied with
Judgs Rosa Decision.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 3l.-An appeal
has been taken to the circuit court Of
appeals from the decision rendered by
Judge Ross, sitting as circuit judge for
the southern district OF California, in
the case OF the United States against
the Southern Pacific company and hun
dreds OF individual defendants, rem
dered on the 18th Of last July in favor
of the government. The record on the
appeal, which is taken by the rail-
road company, is embraced in
twelve printed volumes, containing
406l pages. This is bill in equity filed
in May, 1880, to recover possession OF a
large number of sections of land on the
line of the Southern Pacific.
Judge Ross eDjoined the defsndan ts
from chopping or carrying away from
said lands any trees, holding that the
patent issued by the United States to the
Southern Pacific company, in pursuance
OF an act OF congress approved July 81
1866, and the act to incorporate the
Texas and Pacific Railroad company on
March $, 1871, and all other acte pur-
porting to convey said lands are null
void and vacated.
The case involves 800, 900 acres of land
100000 acres OF which have been sold by
the company TO the individual defend

hands of the executive. Here was d.
rect and avoidabls loss to a collapsed
treasury, of 20 cents per gallon on this
vast amount of liquor. If the new law
is, as he admits, vast improvement
over the Mckinley law, how can Cleve-
land escape the charge of having deltb-
erately played into the hands OF the
whisky ring and rendering the financial
difficulties of the government greater
than there was any need for? The chief
magistrate of the republic is curious
compound OF stubbornness and egotism.
The state conventions OF the Democratic
party are making themselves ridiculous
by endorsing the acts OF man who has
done everything in his power since he
entered the White House to lead his
party to the boneysrd of national organ
izations.

THERE seems to be some misappre.
hension in regard to the law recently
passed by congress designating the first
Monday in September as Labor day,
and setting it apart as legal holiday.
Instructions from Washington to the
federal officials at San Francisco are to
the effect that the new law applies only
to the territories and the District OF Co
lumbia. Therefore next Monday is not
a legal holiday in the states, except
where made 30 by an act OF the legisla-
ture. Most of the states have such an
enactment. Oalifornis's legal La

avoid having two legal holidays in one
week, Admission day being the 9th OF

ment, as they would like to celebrate the
same day az their brethren in other
states. Petitions will be presented to
the legislature at the next session to
change the date accordingly. Lsboring
under the decision that the Labor day
instituted by congress applied to the
whole country, extensive preparations
have been made hereabouts to observe
next Monday as q holiday. While the
laborers have an undoubted right to do
this, and while it is fitting that they
should. in order to make Labor day uni
verssl, it does not follow that the public

compelled to close their doors. On the
contrary, the federal offices, at least,
will be obliged to remsiu open for BUSH
