TROUBLE NEAR.
sreckinridge Campaign Likely To End
Up In a Street Duel.


LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 2s.-The city Is
wild with excitement which presages
trouble of serious character between ei-
ther Colonel Breckinridge or some of his
friends on the one side and he men who
have been opposing Breckinridge on the
stump. Judge Durham who was so unmer-
cifully excoriated in Col. Breckinrldge's
speech, met the Colonel on the street last
night, and hot quarrel ensued. At the
Owens Club meeting last night, in short
speech, Judge Durham said that the
speech of Colonel Breckinridge was the
vilest thing he ever heard come out of the
mouth OF a man, and that no gentleman
would make such speech.
Judge Durham was followed by Judge
kinkead, who also had received a severe
tongue-lashing from Colonel reckinridge
lie said he had not believed there was in
this community man SO debased that he
would dare TO face decent audience and
utter such thoughts. The Judge wound
up his speech by saying:
II have the courage to take him bv the
throat and say to him: sYou periurer.
hound and scoundrel, talk to me about
representing my district and say that Won
are the only man who can do it-you
whom can stand before an audience and
denounce like that"

Nd, and will leave again early next week, |
probably Monday evening, for his State. |

CRUISER IN TROUBLE.
Charleston Has Corroded Rivets
and Bolts in Her Keel.
Dry Docked with Great Secrecy at
Mare island Yard.
Result of Poor Material or Nc~li.
sencc and insufficient Paint.

san FRANCISCO. July 26.-Thc Ex-
aminer says:
Just why there should be so much
secrecy In and about the stone dry dock
at the Mare Island Navy-Yard and on
board the United States cruiser Charles
ton, which rets on it's keel within
the dry dock, has been the subject OF
much wonder. The real cause IL the
fact that the keel of the cruiser has
been found to be in n bad condition and
one involving serious consequences. had
not the trouble been discovered by the
naval constructor.
The keel bolts or rivets have become
corroded and eaten away to a depth
varying from one-eghth to one-half of
an inch directly amidships. and in some
instances Is so bad that on picking
away the outer rust water from the
inner huh comes dripping through upon
the workmen. Corroded rivets which
passed their time of usefulness can be
found fully one-half the length of the
keel
The exact cause of the corrosion and
the reasons to be expected therefor are
Questions OF opinion among naval peo-
pie. There are those who claim Il to
be que to Inferior material used in the
riVets, while others proclaim 1t to be
the result OF inattention and an Insult
licient amount OF paint to properly pro
tect the rivets from the action Of the
water.
Despite all the secrecy exercised these
facts have come to light. and at present
a. force of riveters is working over
time boring out the rusted and honey
combed rivets and replacing them with
the best steel obtainable. 1t is now ac-
knowledged that the discovery made on
the Charleston will cause naval inspec-
tors to more thoroughly inspect the
keeis Of ships on their going into dry
dock. and 1t Is more than probable that
the Charleston will be returned to the
navy yard after short cruise, when
all her keel rivets will be removed and
new ones put in.

WHAT WRECK IS TAIS?.

AT ) o'clock this morning. while We
were passing Fire Island. about eight
miles OFT the lookout reported the
wreck. We stood on until We got within

all that was to be seen
"a black painted mast stood stanchly
out of the water, showing that the YES

The mast was without Il topmast, and
my judgment Is that ii never had one"
Near by sorr" ships timber, attached

we could not determine whether they
we're spars or SaffS, and, accordingly,
could not say whether the wreck was
schooner or IL squarc-riggcd craft.
'Ihe wreck hes south by west, one
half west from Fire Island Lighthouse,
and eight mil5s distant from the point"
Tn. pilot we took aboard WAS on
the bridge at the time. He said that he
had been over the ground continuously
Tor the past four days and this was the
iirsi tine he had seen the wreck. He
had not heard of a vessel being wrecked
In that quarter and thought that the
past four days, as fog has been preva-
lent durln. that time.
We saw no signs OF life nor any,
thing floating near by to aid Us In
Identifying the sunken vessel. She lies
in about eight fathoms, right In the
track followed by many ocean steam
ships, and Is more or less of menace
to navigation.
"Our conclusion, without any further
Information On the subject. was that she
was "A large sailing craft that had been
sunk in "A collision.
AS no wreck is reported the sunken
ship must have either gone down with
all hands or else the crew were picked up
and carried away by some outward bound
vessel
The pilot who brought in the Trave
is The veteran John Shocks When he
reported at the Office of the Pilot Board.
- State street, he remarked upon pass
ing the wreck and said he had never
seen 1t before.
An Evening. World" reporter talked
to several pilots who have been over
seen tn. wreck. so that IT seems certain
that 1t was fist sighted by the Trave,
and Il recent mystery Is buried beneath
those maStS.

Detectives Denounced for Selling
Brush's Papers.
Forced a Way Into the House
Without a Warrant.
Judge MARITIME Condemns the Con-
duct Of tho Men.

John w. Con-. counsel to the Lexow
thing of sensation in Part l. of the
Court OF General Sessions this after
noon. Judge MARITIME is presiding there.
Mr.. Goff demanded in a motion that
certain papers which had been taken
from his client, John s. Brush, now in
generated in the Tombs awaiting trial
for forgery, be at once returned by
order of the Court.
He characterized the selling OF the
papers as a grossly outrageous act and
accused Detective Sergts. McClusky
and Mulry, of the Central Office, of com
hitting a burglary when they entered
Brush's house and took the papers.
ION Nov. 2, Your Honor" said Mr..
Cioff, these two ofiicious detectives
went to, 300 IL West Twenty-tourth
street, where lived the wife of Nh.
Brush. They rang the bell, and when
Mrs. Brush came to the door. pushed
her aside and went into the parlor.
There they demanded of this woman
that she at once send tor II locksmith
and have the lock forced on "a tin box
which stood on the shelf.
Mrs. Brush. although knowing that
her husbands private papers were In the
box, did not dare to antagonize the mill
IONS of the law. and therefore. having no
key, had the lock forced. McClusky and
Mulry then helped themselves to what
they desired Of my clients private
Among the papers were two $1,000
bonds of the New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas Railroad Company an application
for a United States pension, bearing
Brush's signature in his own handwrit
ing, and world" advertisement for
his house.
Nov, Your Honor. this act on the
part of the detectives was nothing less
than burglary, and there Is no law
which will uphold the seizure"
Mr.. Goff drew Judge Marines atten-
ton to the strike proceedings at Chi
cago. when the Federal authorities con-
fiscated the private and unopened let
tiers OF President Debs, of the American
Railway Union.
"Your Honor" continued Mr.. Golf,
President Debs's letters returned. Under
the same condition my client is entitled
to his papers
Assistant District-Attorney Weeks
argued against the motion. He declared
that the pension application was signed
by MIR. Brush. and the handwriting was
essential az evidence to prove the in
dictment of forgery hanging over him.
Judge MARITIME ordered the railroad
bonds turned over to Mr.. Goff for Brush.
The other papers were given into the
custody of the clerk of the court.
At the same time Judge MARITIME
deprecated the manner In which Nc
Clusky and Mulry had obtained the pa
pers. He declared they should have
