seminary at Cincinnati, which was offered
him several weeks ago.

husband two months after her marriage.
The superior court at San Francisco has
decided that John w. Mackay and Senator
John L. Jones did not defraud the stock
holders OF the Consolidated California ana

tant price for milling.

THE PROPOSED NEW DEBT.

The Cedar river ordinance has carried by
n large majority Of those who voted. and
II must now be accepted as the VIII OF the
people OF this city. 1t is the duty OF those
who opposed the measure to assist IN so
shaping subsequent proceedings as TO make
the best OF the situation. and endeavor to
turn 1t TO the city's advantage. 1t is to
be supposed that the advocates OF the meas

way OF its fulflIment. II is not easy for
those who have been anxious 10 avoid any
addition to the debt Of the city 10 accept
Il as an unqualified benefit. but since the
principal objection 10 the scheme was that
the people would. by its adoption. subject
themselves to greater taxation. and as they
have expressed themselves as willing to

enfed by Capt. Bergman.
Capt. c. E. Bergman, who owns and runs
the steamer Clara Brown from Everett 70
SnohoInish, has on view at the Seattle Dry
Dock and Shipbuilders' power house a
steering apparatus, which, for its simplicity
and general utility for all steam vessels,
has already been highly commended.
Capt Bergman places his steam engine
on the rudder itself. and by doing so does
away with the rldder lines and chains and
all the rest of the machinery now in use.
Also, the steam power is brought as direct
~ upon the rudder as upon a tiller moved
by hand, and great deal Of power is thus
saved in leverage.
That the engine may be controlled from
the pilot house, or indeed any part Of the
ship, Capt. Bergman has connected with 1t
a hydraulic cylinder that operates the
steam valve. Pipes from this cylinder can
be laid all about the ship and by a valve on
one Of these pipes the rudder can be In
stantly put hard up or hard down''-an
invaluable expedient for escaping collisions
in fog.
Among other advantages of Capt. Berg
mans invention IS the arrangement Of the
piston rods directing and controlling the
rudder. They not only hold IL In the de-
sired position, but the steam behind these
plstons is made TO act as a cushion and
this relieves the ship from the strain of big
waves that strike the rudder.

with a robust and resonant cnunciation

Fortunately. MIR. Cleveland is SO far
out of joint with patriotic impulse in
affairs of foreign concern that the pos

makes the following statement: within
the last ten days General Harrison IN
free conversation with prominent Re.
publican, formerly a United States sena-
tor, declared that he Is IN no sense a can
didate for president In 1896. and that his
name would not be presented to the ma

he would authorize a. statement to that
effect he said he preferred not to do 80.
but he DID not ask that the statement
should be considered confidential In fur
ther conversation with the same dist.n-
guished gentleman the ex-presdent said
that in his opinion the standard-bearer of
