RELICS OF THE KEARsARGE.
Valuable Mementoes Secured by Ofhc-
ers of the San Francisco.

New YORK, July 4-The United States
cruiser San francisco steamed into port
about breakfast time and now lies at
anchor off Tompkinsville, S. l., alongside
its sister OF the White Squadron, the New
York. It came direct from Cayman
Brace, a small island in the West Indies,
where Capt. Watson and Lieutenant
Commander Mclean secured large num-
Der of valuable and interesting relics from
the historical old war-ship kearsarge.
The lightest article, but the most valuable
from a historical and official standpoint,
is the smooth" log book of the old war
ship, which is III perfect state of preser-
walton. 1t was started January Is of this
year, and contains only three days entries.
The last eutry was made at midnight,
February ], just twenty hours before the
kearsarge ran on the reef. When this
log book is forwarded to Washington the
long and honorable record OF the historic
war-ship, as told by successive logs for
more than thirty years, will be complete.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Mclean also
brought back with him the life line that
was the means of saving officers and crew
on the night of the wreck.
Perhaps the most interesting relics of
all, however, are a big steam exhaust pipe,
an old copper magazine lantern, rusty and
very battered, and brass plate used a
capstan top. These three pieces, 1t Is be-
lIeved, were on the old Kearsarge during
the late war and when it fought and sank
the Alabama. Capt. Watson said, when
the ship left Bluefields, June 10. Gen. Lu-
cayo had gone 10 Greytown, and his sue
cessor, Gen. Cabezas, had assumed his
place as Nicaraguan commissioner to the
Mosquito reserve, The San Francisco left
Commander O'Neil in the Marblehead to
represent this government at Bluetelds.
The British war ship MagicieUne was ex-
pected TO arrive in three or four days.
Everything was quiet on shore. but an I'M
pleasant condition of uncertainty pre-
vailed. 'The American residents are hop
ms" said Capt. Watson, that some def
mite arrangement will be made soon by
the British aud American governments
Then they will know just how they stand
with reference TO the concessions they re-
ceived from the Mosquito government aud
which, it is feared, the Nicaraguans Will
not respect"

Queerly.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Coxey Com
monwealers went through the spectacular
performance of "burying the Goddess Of
Liberty" in front of the capital at noon to-
day. 1t was the sequel Of the demonstra-
of May 1st when. according TO Coxey and
Brown, liberty was mortally wounded and
fingered until she expired on the Fourth
OF July. Captain Austin and d force of
ten mounted and six unmounted police
were on hand with the patrol wagons. A
small crowd was attracted by the novel
performance. The COmmOnweaiers march
ed four abreast, 246 strong. with many
Carl Brown in a remarkable disguise. His
beard had been removed and his face pow
dered 4 wig of yellow hair fell to his
waist, his arms were bare and
powdered. A liberty cap was on his head
and his body was wound with the en-
blematic garments of liberty. 1t was not
intended that Brown should be known in
the disguise. and the name of the goddess
was Sarah Elkhart, an Egyptian. Filing
through Pennsylvania avenue the army
formed around Peace monument, where
Goddess Brown delivered an apostropne to
the bronze goddess on top of the capitol.
AS he closed his address he Topped in q
badly simulated swoon from his horse,
and his comrades. catching him, placed
him at full length with flags and crepe
over him. The hearse was Inscribed, LIB
erty is Dead"
The procession then moved away to
Mulligan Hill, where the goddess stepped
from the hearse, and the Commonwealers
closed the day with dancing and speeches"

SUGAR COMMITTEE WILL AGREE
All Parties on Sugar Committee Admit
Carlisle is Innocent

WAsHINGToN.-One thing on which
the Democrats and Republicans of the
sugar investigating committee will agree
and upon which emphatic report will be
made, is the exoneration of Secretary
Carlisle from any improper relations to
the sugar schedule. and the report will
state the facts as brought out in the testi-
mony aud will say it is the belief of the
committee that the secretary's only con-
nection with the whole affair was the
preparation of the sugar schedule
at the request of the members of the
finance committee. 1t is not yet known
whether or not Senator Allen will concur
in this part of the report, and in fact there
is very little known as TO what the Ne
braska senator will do or the kind of
minority report he will submit Senator
Gray has made draft of tue report but it
is not wholly satisfactory to the rest
OF the members who say it is too mild
in its suggestions. A draft prepared by

man Gray and he is attempting TO bar

TOO MUCH STEAM.
Cruiser Montgomery, on Trial Trip,
Meets With Serious Accident

NORFOLK. Va, July 4.-The damage to
the cruiser Montgomery is of such a char
acter that it may take the vessel out Of
commission for three months or more. 1t
is the opinion of officers of the ship aud the
representatives of the builders who accom-
panied the vessel on her trial trip that no
blame can attach TO any one, and that the
break was purely an accident of the kind
which can not be avoided. The entire
trouble was caused by loose nut on the
crank pin end of the connecting rod.
1t was 1880 o'clock yesterday morning
when the break occurred. There was a
terrific explosion on board followed by the
escape of steam, but it lasted only a few
seconds, for the steam was at once turned
of. Preparations had just begun for the
speed trial and the steam guage showed
40 pounds. The damage was entirely due
to the high pressure of the engine on the
port side OF the vessel and the machinery
to be replaced will be the cylinder casing,
cylinder cover, new liner TO cylinder, new
crank pin, caps, brasses and bolts and
new steam chest. In all other tests to
which the vessel was put she behaved
well.

SOME LONG BALLOON TRIPS.
A Vain Effort to Gross the Mediterranean
-yoyaging from England to Germany.

a VAIN Euort 20 Gross the mcdfteTranesn
-voyaging from England to Germany.
The longest balloon voyage on record
was one undertaken in 1888, IN which
the distance travelled was little more
than one thousand two hundred miles.
Three voyagers on that occasion, says
Harrison's Magazine, made an ascent
in France, with the intention of cross
ing Mediterranean and landing in Al
geria. The wind, however, proving
unfavorab1e, carried them toward Cor
isca. When they were near that
island the balloon descended toward
the water, and for time their lives
were in great jeopardy. By throwing
out all their apparatus they succeeded
in getting the balloon to rise to
height of between two and three thou
sand feet, and, travelling on to Italy,
they safely descended in that country
at a little village near Brescia. An
other balloon voyage of nearly the
same length was undertaken in No
vember, 1886. On the 7th of that
month, Charles Green, with two friends,
assembled near London in q balloon,
Calais, and, passing over France and
Belgium, found themselves the next
morning over the Rhine. Proceeding
further they arrived at Viborg, where
they descended about eight a. N. on
the sth of November. A recent bal
loon voyage Of NJ. Mallet, the French
aeronaut, lasted thirty-six and one
half hours and would have been the
longest on record il he had not landed
In the middle Of it. He left Villette on
the 23d Of October at six p. m. and
next morning landed at Ottonville, in
Alsace, to clear the snow from the
balloon. At the end of twenty-five min
utes he started again and landed near
Coblentz at eight p. m. An hour and q
half later he landed once more in a
valley on fauna mountains, and fin
ally, on the p5th of October, at six a.
m, at Walden, in Hesse. Two or three
aeronauts have proposed to cross the
Atlantic in a balloon. but so far Il has
begun and ended in talk only.
