AMERICAS FIRST STEEL SHIP.
Dirigo, of Bath, Me-, Is a Credit to
the Nation,

DirigO, of Bath, Me-, Is n Credit to
the Nation.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-The first
steel ship that was ever built in
America arrived in this port from
Hiogo, Japan. This is also her first
appearance here. The ship is the
Dirigo, named after the motto for
the state Of Maine, hailing from
Bath in that state.
The Dirigo was built in Bath in
1894 by Arthur Sewell, of Bath.
Her gross tonnage is 3,0O5; net, 1855;
length, 312 feet; beam, As feet, and
depth, 25 feet. She is a four-masted
ship, square-rigged on the first three,
carrying three skysail yards and a
short bowsprit, similar to those of
the Shenandoah, Roanoke and Sus-
quehanna, by the same builder.
Her first voyage after launching
was made from Philadelphia to
Japan, with case oil. At Hiogo the
Dirigo was detained for want OF
freight for five months. Leaving
Hiogo March 5, with a full cargo Of
general merchandise for Del la Camp
& Co., the Dirigo made the passage
to this port via Cape Horn in 1877
days. Capt. Goodwin says that ne
fully believes that the best route
from Japan after the LIST of March
is via Cape Horn.
The Dirigo would have given
good account of herself had her bot
tom been in condition for speed, but
her detention in Japan had covered
the bottom with grass. During the
first eight days of the voyage there
were light winds, but thereafter eX-
cellent breezes and fine weather
were experienced. From 80 north
latitude to 80 south in the Pacific
ocean the ship sailed with fine fresh
trade winds without starting tack
of sheet.
The Dirigo passed within sight Of
Samoa, the Harvey group and the
Sandwich islands. Capt. Goodwin
has made 81 voyages around
Cape Horn, and says that the Dirigo
is the finest ship he ever sailed. The
Dirigo is consigned to D. E. Dear
born.

WAR ON UTAH RATES.
New Schedule TO Go Into Effect
Monday.


SAN FRANCISCO, July .2S.-The
Southern Pacific company has be-
come involved in a squabble with
the Eastern roads doing business in
the territory of Utah. The Eastern
lines recently reduced freights on a
long line of commodities from East
ern points in Utah. In retaliation, the
Southern Pacific, on June q, put
into effect a, reduced tariff on such
commodities as are manufactured or
produced in California and find a
market in that territory; but there
was no line east of Oregon which
would join in the new tariff. The OBJ
jectionable tariff has therefore been
cancelled by a new tariff which is
announced to take effect Aug. 1, re-
ducing the rates on all commodi-
ties. The rates apply to Ogden, the
end Of the company's line in Utah.
Beyond that point the old taft will
apply.
The new reduced tariff takes eff
feet upon the cancellation of last
months tariff. The reduced new tar
iff is calculated to meet the rates
issued by the Eastern lines into Og-
den for the freight department in
the general Office of the Southern
Pacific does not propose to allow the
Eastern lines to monopoliZe the big
business of supplying the Utah mar
ket,

A SURE THING,

FINDLAY, O., July 2S.-E. L. En-
triken, a jeweler Of this city, is
mourning the loss Of $500 which he
advanced as loan to two strangers
who deposited $4,000 worth of dia-
monds with him as security. The
men, who gave their names as Huff
man and Cushing, called at his store
Friday and asked for loan of 81 900,
stating that they were following the
races and were broke, but had a
sure thing" and could make a
small fortune if they only had the
ready cash to carry it through. They
offered as security for the loan two
diamond rings and a stud, which
they claimed were worth $4,000. Mr.
Entriken examined the stones, and
offered to advance $500, which they
accepted.
Yesterday Mr.. Entriken became
anxious about the matter, and be-
gan to fear that the "sure thing
had failed to work, as the men did
not call to redeem the stones. He
then subjected them to an acid test,
and found that they were paste. The
same men attempted to secure a
loan at the Farmers bank on the
stones, but Cashier Hull had heard
Of trick that had been worked on
a Tiffin bank during the races there,
and refused to be taken in.

EplueInlCS are no longer aCtTlDuteu
to visitations of divine wrath, but
their sources are looked for in pol
suppuration of wounds is now re-
garded as the result of the neglect
or unskillfulness of the physician,
instead of being the natural product
Of the wound. We do not recall
any difference of opinion among the
leading papers of this city or Of
the country on these matters. 1t
may be a ground of suspicion that
this unanimity exists, and it might
be attributed to the influence of
the money power with just such rea-
sonableness as is their agreement
upon the silver question.
On some other matters, related
to that suggested by the remark Of
our friend, because resting in the
same universal traits of human ma
ture, there is a substantial harmony
regardless of the party affiliations
of the papers. They will all agree
that it is the common impulse Of
men to get or keep that which they
deem the best, and refuse to take or
get rid of that which they deem
poorer 1t is the poorest cow that
the farmer sends to the Shambles,
and the best one that he keeps; it is
his poorest and not his best horse
which is his trading stock. An
other disposition that is inherent in
human nature, and about which
these papers do not dispute, is that
which impels people in supplying
their wants to buy the article which,
everything else being equal, is Of
counterpart of which is their dispo-
sition to sell what they have for
the largest price. All papers are
agreed that these are fundamental
impulses that must be taken into
account, not only in private deal
ings, but in public affairs, and in
matters of money as we'll as in mat
terS of merchandise. 1t is because
this fundamental and inherent i'm
pulse of men to act uniformly under
the same conditions has been OBJ
served to be practically stable
over a range of centuries that what
are called laws of action have been
formulated.
What is known as Gresham's law,
that, when accompanied by legal
tender laws, the less valuable coin
will eXpel from circulation the more
valuable one, is but an application
to money of the invariable impulse
of men to keep the better and get rid
OF the poorer. 1t is the recognition
by the papers of these cities of the
invariableness of these impulses,
the memorable operation of the laws
based on them, and not the inf1u-
ence of any mysterious money pow
er, that makes them a unit in oppos-
ing proposition to force upon the
people Of this country a debased
coin which would inevitably eXpel
from circulation the coin whose
value was determined by the market
and not by fiat. 1t is the recogni-
ton that some things have been as
certained and determined and fixed
for all time beyond dispute or de-
NAL, and that common sense and
safety and comfort demand that hui
man actions be conformed to them,
that makes the press of this city
unanimous on this question. They
do not believe that water can be
made to run up hill, or bodies pre-
vented from falling, or men in
duced or compelled to part with the
best and retain the poorest.

AT THE THEATERS.
observation-disclosures

The popular Wilbur Opera company
opened their last weeks engagement
of the summer season last night with
a presentation of the well-known comic
opera "Boccaccio." The usual Sunday
audience was present and enjoyed the
performance thoroughly, as was shown
by the liberal amount of applause be-
slowed upon the performers at every
catching number. The cast included
all of the favorites of the company.
Miss Eloise Mortimer was cast for
the title role, and she gave it in a
most creditable manner, essaying the
various characters of the role in a
manner at once finished and pleasing.
Maud Daniel made a pleasant Leonetti,
both as to appearance and acting. j.
e. Conley as the prince sustained his
previous efforts, although the role
makes but little vocal demand upon
the actor The comedy characters
were as usual sustained by those
princes of funmakers, Kohnle, who
played Lambertuccio, and Claude
Amsden, who had the part of Lotter-
inghi, the cooper. Both succeeded in
keeping the risibilities of the audience
busy Miss Hattie Richardson as
Fiametta was very clever and looked
the role to perfection. AS an entirety
last nights performance was very
clever, the chorus doing a number of
fine efforts.
The living pictures were again
changed and several new ones added
to the list. The repertoire for this
week will be variegated one, present
ing five different operas. ''Boccaccio'1
will run tonight; Tuesday night and
Wednesday matinee Dorothy will be
given. Wednesday night and Thurs
day matinee the Wilburs will sing
1.-The Mascotte;; Thursday night, 1.-The
Grand Duchess" and the week will
close with 1.-The Merry War" which will
also end the engagement of the COM
pany. The Metropolitan will then
close for alterations and decorations,
to be ready for the coming season.

BETTER USE FOR THE MONEY.

An experiment is about to be made
in equipping a section Of the Erie
canal with electric lines for the pro-
pulsion of canal boats, the energy
to be derived from the power sta
ton at Niagara. A couple of years
ago a single boat was fitted with
a motor and supplied with electric
ity by temporary arrangement, and
quite a celebration was made of its
successful progress. Since then the
project of equipping the canals of
the state for operation by electricity
has been a subject of a great deal
of thought. 1t is now to be carried
out on a large scale. There is little
doubt that it can be made success
full. Whether all lines can be so op-
to transmit electrical energy eco
nomically over longer distances than
has hitherto proved feasible. It is es-
timated that to so furnish the canals
of the state would cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000, 900.
It may be that this system is a
velopment of the country. But it
seems to us that any such eXpendi-
ture of money at the present time
would be much out of place. What
the people who are most interested
in the increase Of commerce on the
Erie canal want, and what the peo-
pie of the whole country want first
of all, is a deep waterway from the
head of the lakes to the Atlantic
ocean. A railroad corporation which
should spend several hundred thou
sand dollars in providing rolling
stock before it built its road or pur-
chased its. right of way, would begin
decidedly at the wrong end. The
same objection lies against the prop
osition to eXpend huge sums of mon
ey on a canal system whose useful
ness has probably reached it's limit,
regardless of improvements in boats
or motive power, until the canal itself
shall have been widened and deep
ened to meet the wants of modern
commerce. The mighty traffic of the
| interior West which seeks exit to
| the Atlantic will not be satisfied by
| any system of transportation that
requires breaking of bulk and trans
shipment of cargoes at an inter-
mediate point.
What we need and what we must
| have is one unbroken water high
way from West to East. Not the
| canal boat propelled by electricity,
! but the lake steamer, with her cargo
| of grain intact, must run without
| impeachment from Buffalo to New
/ York. That is the problem not only
| OF the future, but of the present.
