LIFE ON AN IRON CLAD.
Old Sailors Dislike to BE Shut Up in
the Iron Hulls.

Old Sailors Dislike to BE Shut Up in
the Iron Hulls.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Since the formation of the new iron-clad
navy there has been many complaints from
the crews of harsh treatment by the OH
GERS, and now there is the case of the
United States cruiser Raleigh, that has re-
Gently arrived at Boston from Key West.
To an old man O. warsman the nature Of
the complaints indicates the character Of
the crew, hut John L. Mutter of Richmond
and Shackamaxon streets has something
to say on this point:
''On March last" he says, Il finished
six-year term of service in the United
States navy-all on iron clads-and al
though I am a poor man, I would not try
it another year for 500 a month. I believe
that the inmate of a we'll conducted Jail
ashore has a better berth. When one OF
our iron clads is loaded for sea she goes
plum down in the water and in a head sea
does not raise an inch. but wallops along
like mad bull. The decks are swept by q
torrent from stem to stern, and, except the
men at the wheel and lookouts, everybody
goes below, matches are put on electric
lights glare out and We have artificial VEN
tilation that you can taste. There is no
varied wholesome work to pass away the
time and you get weary of life. This is the
cause Of desertion.
Men will risk their lives to quit TIE
ship. leaving two years pay behind There
is no remedy Tor TINS. In my opinion MOTH
ing that the government can do Will ever
make their big hulls fit for human beings
to live in, and this is the prime cause Of
the complaints made by the crews. The
grub is irst-rate. You have a hundred
privileges that were undreamed of in the
old service, and If you are ill-:reated 1T Is
generally because you deserve 1t. But the
fact is, men get irritable under the con-
slant drill and the horrible monotony, and
break the rules to get into trouble for a
change. Moreover, the officers, especially
the younger ones, are fidgety and restless.
believe the constant examining they un-
dergo makes them irritable, and they take
it out of the men by hazing and meddling
in matters that old-timers would take care
not to see.
las for the crews themselves they nat
urally get worse every year. A young
American of good sense and character can
see no inducement in the service that
gives him one-fifth the pay he can get
ashore. He can learn as much seaman
ship on the Erie canal and be his own
master. A.
LAS to the fighting capacity of our new
Ships no one can speak with certainty, as
they have not been tried / know that
most of the older officers believe that
smaller lighter vessels will eventually take
the place of these big rolling tanks. O7e
thing Is very certain, all the science and
machinery afloat can not do away with
the necessity for having good crews"

EITHER CAN WITHDRAW.

Lord Dunrayen Believes in q Fair
Field for Contestants.
Lord Dunraven, owner of the British
yacht Valkyrie, wrote Friday to the Amer
ica's cup committee at length regarding
his position in refusing to sail the third
race with the Defender. In the letter he
Says:
II hold that in any match a fair field
and no favor is condition precedent to
any agreement as to terms, and falling
in that, any party has a perfect right to
withdraw absolutely or Internationally.
The articles of an agreement cannot and are
not intended to lay down fixed rules to
meet every imaginable contingency. Ger
tain contingencies have arisen, you are
aware, combining myself to the subject Of
my letter on overcrowding. AS far back
as October l wrote concerning the difficulty
of insuring clear course, and did not
insist upon my views, because I thought
the persons responsible should he free to
take the steps that they thought best in
the matter.

His Desire to Sail.

"In view of their failure in this respect, 1t
might have been better if, in my letter of
| the 10th instant, I had absolutely with
drawn. But my desire to sail off the races
was great and I withdrew conditionally
and suggested the steps which I, thought
would remove the difficulty. These steps
were not taken, and I held to my deter
mination to sail no more, and in SO act
ing I emphatically deny that 1 went hack
in any way on the agreement as to terms
II did not know whether Nj. Garfield
and Mr.. Busk officially represented the
committee when they came to see me at
the Waldorf. I judged by their CONVEX
sation that they did not, and 1 understood
from that that the committee had not
come to a definite conclusion upon the
letter. l now conclude from your COM
munication that they were officially rep
resenting the committee. In that case the
proposal made by the committee was that
1 should withdraw from the determine ton
expressed in my letter of the 10th instant,
and that I should sail the third and pos
sibly the final race on condition that suf-
ficient room was secured at the start, and
that in any further races my suggestion
that the dates for the races and the time
of starting should not be made public
should be carried out.
Il so far withdrew my lettes of the 10th
instant as to say that I would sail the
third race If the committee would under
take to declare the race void If, in their
Judgment, either vessel was interfered
with by the steamers, the committee put
ting anybody they liked aboard the yachts.
I was willing to leave the matter in their
hands, STIMULATING only that they put sn

The Middics, VIEW Boat House.


The Few boat house for the shells of the
naval cadets at Annapolis, Nd, is practi-
cally finished, and awaits the arrival of the
boat crews that they may have the shelly
ing in the house put in to suit their needs.
The house is so feet by 30, and cost float in
Guided, about 81 800. This is a long-needed
necessity, and has come none too soon. The
cadets who kept up the interest in shells
felt keenly what little aid they received
from the government and the officers, while
everything was lavished on the gladiators
of the gridron field. The cadets, out Of
their own pockets, purchased the shells they
now own. The present is a happy change.
Not only are they to have comfortable
quarters and good housing for their boats,
but a room is to be set apart in the build
ing exclusively for the of the crews,
and a balcony has been erected on the
water side of the house, where, when off
the restraint of military routine and the
call for practice, the crews can stick up
their feet as high their heads and talk
it all over. none daring to modest or make
them afraid

Two Sets Of Foot Ball Rules.

There will be two sets of foot ball rules
governing the Intercollegiate contests this
fall. One set has been drawn UP and
agreed to by Harvard, Cornell and Penn
sylvan ia, and the other by Yale and Prince
ton. The rules of the former colleges will
not make many radical changes in the
game as played last year, except that the
backs will receive more protection, but it
is understood that Princeton and Yale will
play under a code that will totally abolish
the modern style of play. 1t has been
learned that the old-fashioned game of
lining up seven men ard doing most of the
attack with the backs unassisted by wedge
or movable mass plays will be revived.
In this way the rush line will not be al
lowed to gather in twos and threes back
of the line when in possession Of the ball,
bat the center, guards, tackles and ends
will be compelled to hold their fixed places
until after the ball is put in play. This is
the most radical change made by Yale
and Princeton, and was adopted as the best
means of abolishing the dangerous mass
plays.
