here from Cape Coast Castle, a town of the
gold coast colony. British West Africa, say
that the trouble which has arisen between
that colony and the King of Ashantee, on
account of the latter refusing to refrain
from human sacrifices, is approaching a
crisis. The King is said to have been very
arrogant during a recent interview with
the Governor-general Sir William Brand

population of the gold coast is that another

and Grant Cummeford were booked for a
finish fight, last night, for a purse of 800.
Cummeford was advertised as an Elwood
pugilist. The party of sports started from
a saloon at midnight, in sleds, and drove to
the city erected for pest houses during the
late epidemic of smallpox. The ring was
pitched and the referee was about ready
to say "shake hands, when the police
made a rush and caught the whole party.
The principals were fined and put in Jail
for violating an order not to trespass on
the pest house.

MONTERREY AND AMPHITRLyE.
Both Vessels Have Behaved in IN Ex-

Partial reports received at the Navy De-

the fine showing made. The Monterey

Dor work. has demonstrated that she can

She is not fast boat but she easily made
eight knots an hour on her trip to South
America. 1t was also found that she was
much more comfortable for her officers
and crew than was first supposed. and the
temperature of her cabins was not as high
as was expected, considering the china te
she was in. 1t is rot probable that the
Monterey will ever be sent on long cruise
like that she has just taken, unless in
case Of great emergency, but it is likely
that she will stay in the vicrity of San
Francisco and Puget Sound.
The Amphitrite was in some very heavy
weather while out on her southern cruise

she behaved herself in a hrst-class man
ner. The greatest fault found with this
monitor is the intense hea of the rooms

that she Is easily handled. The greatest

building of the navy, and several different

Is pumped in and the foul air pumped out
by fans, this being found the best practi-
cable method. The motive power for these
fans is one that has caused considerable
discussion. A suggestion which meets with
q great deal Of favor and which may be
recommended by the board is to conduct
the power by electric wires. which avoid
openings through the bulkheads, and saves
spacs in the apartment where the fan is
operated. as the motor takes up much less

RETURNED TO ST. EL1zABETn,s.
Miss Jessie Wilson Declared to DC
Suffering From Acute Mania.


Suffering From Acute Mania.
Miss Jessie E. Wilson, the young woman
whose insanity was inquired into yesterday
by marshars jury. was today declared
by the jury to be suffering from acute
mania, and upon that verdict the unfor-
tunate woman was returned to st. Eliza
beth's Insane Asylum for treatment.
AS reported in The Star, the inquiry was
postponed yesterday until noon today upon
the fearful entreaties of the young woman
that she be given an opportunity to call
witnesses in. her behalf. Accordingly, the
following witnesses were heard by the jury
this afternoon: Drs. W. w Godding ana
j. r. hewitt, Phillip Snyder the sufferers
brother-in-law; Mrs. Rose Elliott and
Mrs. Lancelott The physicians testified
that the woman was suffering from acute
mania, and advised that she should be con-
fined in an asylum for medical treatment
The other witnesses stated that the woman
had always been kindly treated by her
father, James Wilson, and by the other
members of the family, and that her ac-
cusations of bad treatment on the part of
her father were unfounded and due en-
tirely to her delusions.
During the examination of the witnesses,
Miss Wilson was terribly excited, and she
constantly interrupted them, accusing them
of unfairnesS, falsehood and with being in
conspiracy to place her in an asylum.
Her cries for mercy attracted quite large
crowd to the court room. and she begged
the jury on her knees to release her. The
jury, however, after a moments delibera-
ton, decided that she was of unsound
mind. and the unfortunate woman, crying
out that she had been denied justice, and
that the whole world but her mother was
against her, was carried back to the asy-
lum. Her mother was summoned as
Witness but was too i'll to. appear. 1t is
testimony would not have differed from
that given by the other witnesses.

A SHORT EXTENSION.
Contractors for the City Post Omce
Get II Little More Time.

Assistant Secretary IEamlin has given
Tharp & Bond, the delinquent contractors
for iron and steel work on the Washing
ton city post office building, e short extern
sion of time in order to allow them an
other opportunity of showing why their
contract should not be abrogated. He de-
voted several hours yesterday afternoon
to a consideration of the case, and read
a statement prepared by Judge Fleming,
the law officer of the supervising arch:-
tects office, on one side, and a statement
submitted by the contractors on the other.
Time Limit Exceeded.
These statements agreed substantially
that the contractors had exceeded the limit
of time fixed for the completion of the
work. Judge Fleming sustained the justice
and propriety of the action of the super
vislng architect in giving the contractors
notice of the forfeiture of their contract,
unless it was fully complied with in eight
days. The contractors asserted that they
had used their best endeavorS to live up 10
the terms of the contract, but had been un-
able to do SO by reason Of the non-delivery
of the material by the manufacturers in ac-
cordance with their agreement. They
claimed that the delay was due entirely to
circumstances beyond their control, and
said they were now in position to insure
prompt prosecution of the work.
Wants More Information.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin said to Star
reporter today that he was not prepared to
take final action in the matter with the
Information at hand, and that he had writ
ten TO the contractors for additional in
formation on several points in dispute.
They will be given twenty-four hours from
the' time of the receipt of his letter in
which to prepare their answer. Action will

FORTY YEARS OF COOP WORK.

The celebration yesterday of the forty
second anniversary of the local Young
Mems Christian Association calls to mind
the admirable work this organization has
done in and for Washington No one that
has observed its progress, from the mo-
ment Of its inception TO the present, but
viii testify to its great Influence in the
cause of morality, religion and education.
The service il has rendered to the young men
or the city is simply incalculable
From small beginnings it has grown to
be a distinct power for good in the COM
munity. Ii was rather sneered at when
first it started, and even the ministers OF
that day, or at least some of them, were
inclined to look upon it as an unwarranted
lnterloper. Soon, however, they came to
recognize their mistake, and TO realize
the fact that in the Young Mems Christian
Association they had found an adjunct
to their laboTs, as unlooked-for as il proved
effective. Little by little it expanded,
until it has attained the commanding proper
lions that grace it to-day and give promise
of an even more vigorous growth in the
future
The Young Mems Christian Association
has no better friends, no more earnest
ana active sympat hizersand supporters than
the merchants ofthe city. They know that
the young man who spends his evenings in
reading or religious exercises, or in at
tending night schools, or even in gymnastic
exercise in the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION building, is kept afar from the
temptations that have led SO many clerk
or other trusted employee 10 his ruin.
All classes of the community, however
and viii wish for it yet greater usefulness
in the future, which, if guaged by the re-
suits OF the past, is full of promise of the
noblest achievements.
