MISTRESS OF SEAS.
The New American Liner st. Louis
Expected to be a Record Breaker.
Special 70 ths Nelns.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The American
Line steamship st. Louis, now build
ing at the yard of Cramp d
Sons, Philadelphia, will be launched
about the middle OF next month, and
viii probably be the fastest Steamship
afioat. Captain Randle, who for many
years has been in the employ of
the American Line, and has SUPER
vised the finishing OF all their vessels, in
ciuding the Paris and New York, until
last Saturday has been in the ocean SER
vice OF the company as commander OF the
steamship Paris. On the arrival OF that
vessel last week he was relieved of his
command and ordered TO proceed TO the
yards of the Cramp Ship Building Com
pany to supervise the finishing OF the st.
Louis, which is so soon to take her place
in the active feet of the company.
The st. Louis will be the largest vessel
ever constructed in America, and, mas
much as the United States cruisers Column
bia and Minneapolis, just accepted by the
government from the builders OF the St.
Louis, made such phenomenal speed, more
than ordinary interest is manifested in
the launching of the new vessel. which
experts say will be the bona fine mistress
OF the sea.
The st. Louis is the first steamship that
has ever been built in this country under
the provisions OF the United States mail
contract and she is likely TO demonstrate
the superiority of American ship build
ing. Those who have watched the speed
OF the new Cunarders and the new United
States cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis
believe that the Cramps will succeed in
turning out for the American line steam
ships that can make the run to Queens
town in five days.
The length OF the st. Louis is to be 5l2.2
feet over all and 535.s feet on the water
line, 63 feet beam, AZ feet depth of hold
and of 1000 gross tons displacement.
She Is twin screw steamer, propelled by
two sets Of quadruplc expansion engines,
on four cranks, of POO pounds pressure.
and her horse power is to be
10000, or 1000 horse power
less than that OF the Columbia and Min
She is so constructed that she
can be turned into an armed cruiser at a
warning, and will mount eight
six-inch rapid fire guns. Her passenger
capacity will be $40 first, 175 second and
BOO steerage.
Vice President James A. Wright, Jr., of
the American line, said last night that the
details OF the ceremonies to take place at
The launching OF he st. Louis have not |
been arranged as yet, The st. Paul and
three sister steamships for the American
ine will soon follow the st. Louis.

BIG ROW AT RALLY.
1t Was a Democratic One. of Course,
and RevoIvers We're Fired.

DUNLow, w. Va, Sept. 5.--While ex-
Governor Wilson was addressing big
Democratic meeting here yesterday
Camdenites interrupted the speaker.
Wilson's friends attempted to eject
them when sanguinary fight fol-
lowed. A hundred revolvers were fred
almost simultaneously. Two shots barely
escaped Wilson, one passing through his
hair. The disturbance was finally
quieted and Wilson continued his address.
Among those shot was j. w. Frizzle, who
died last night. Tobias Ferguson is said
to be mortally wounded. 1t is asserted
that United States deputies fired upon the
crowd first.

STRIKE STILL ON.
The Pullman Strike Will Never Be
Officially Declared Off.

CHICAGO, Sept. Sit seems probable
now that the formal orders calling off the
Pullman strike will never be issued.
For the fourth time, delegates
from the Is branches of the A. II. u.
at Pullman have failed to meet in response
TO call summoning them to consider the
matter of declaring the strike at an end.
IL Is said that the reason for this apparent
apathy upon the part of the strikers is
that the majority OF each union are at
present employed in the shops.

1t is just a verdict of condemnation
which the Democrats of this country have
passed upon the men chosen to represent
them in congress. There is no doubt to
this verdict; it is on the lips Of every
Democrat who speaks his mind, and it is
in the hearts of those who are silent
through shame.
More than year ago the entire con-
troll of all branches of the government
placed by the people in the hands of the
Democracy was assumed by these men
under pledges to carry out Democratic
purposes and establish Democratic prin
ciples, They have failed utterly and mis-
erably. Where they should have beer
strong, they have shown pitiful weak
ness; where they should have acted
boldly they have compromised; where
they should have FASTENED they have dc
iayed.
And now after long endurance of evi
which prompt legislation, establishing
the reforms which the national Democ
racy has ordered, would have cured, TIN
confidence of the people in the ability o
the good faith of these men is shaken be
yond easy restoration. The Democrat
in congress are no nearer the end of tn
work they set to do than they were ST
months ago.
More than this. In the senate it is no
only the shame of weak delay which goe
to account Of these recreant Democrat,
it is the scandal of dickering with mt
nopolies which has even shaken belief
the honesty of the men themselves. An
the public are the reader to liste
to strange tales of corruption becau'
they SEQ the senate disregardful Of il
duty in the broader sense.
The people are right when they col
denim the men who have placed the D.
mocracy in this position. 1t is the mo:
shameful wreck Of grand opportunit!

Memorial Day Exercises last Wednes.
day were of the usual impressive charact-
or. Business generally was suspended
during the exercises. Many business
houses and residences were protusely dec
GRATED with bunting. The weather was
all that could be desired. The order of
exercises was carried out i'll accordance
with the programme published i'll the
HERALD. First i'll order was theexcrciscs
at the cemetery. The Veterans, escorted
by a drum corps and the Sons of Veterans
proceeded thence, and there once again
the rows of little mounds that mark the
burial places of those who fell in the
great struggle were transformed into a
series of flower beds, rainbow hucd in
their protusion and variety, amid the
customary ritual prepared for this occa-
sion. This duty performed the Veterans
and escort retraced their steps to opera
hall where the remainder OF the exercises
were carried out. These included the
reading of the General Orders of the Day
and service prescribed by the G. A. r.,
for Decoration Day. lHterspersed with
these exercises appropriate music was
furnished, which was very fine and great
| " admired as was also the recitation by
Miss Oracle Davis. The hall was hand
somrly decorated, the decorations elicit
irg warm praise. Following the exer-
cises came the Grafton by Prof. Porter
H.. Dale, who was introduced by Col. A.
II. Hall. The Grafton was one of the
best we ever listened to on such an occa-
sion. We cannot do the speaker justice
in the small space left at our disposal for
a report of the days proceedings, occur
ring as they do this year close to the time
of going to press. He referred to the
achievements of Vermont in the war, the
daring deeds of her sons, and enumerated
many of the blessings we today enjoy for
which grateful country gives thanks to
the Veterans. He addressed himself to
each OF the orders represented, the Vetcr
ans being visibly affected by his remarks
to them. He paid glowing and earnest
tribute to the Relief Corps and woman
kind, and no less pleasing was his allusior
to the Sons Of Veterans. 1t was an ex
, tremcly interesting and patriotic address
r and made most marked and favorabl,
impression, and his effort was greeted
with the most enthusiastic applause
