RUSS|A'S FLOATING PALACE
Construction of an Immense
Steam Yacht at the Copen-
hagen Yards.
The Only Rival to This Wonderful
Craft VIII Be Harry Mccall
mont's Steamer.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 23.-One of
the handsomest and most palatial of mod
ern steam yachts is the Russian imperial
vessel Standard, now being built by Bur-
meister & Vain at Copenhagen. She is
an enormous yacht her overall length
being Alt feet-S5 feet greater than that
of the Valiant, w. K. Vanderbilt's huge
cruising steamer. Her load water-line
length is $40 feet, her nodded breadth so
feet inches, her depth So feet and her dis
placement $3.50 tons. The Valiant has q
water-line length of 291 feet inches, and
an extreme beam of SO feet inches.
The Standard is to have two sets of
triple-expansion engines and "a BelIeville
water tube boilers, with working pressure
of 245 pounds. These engines are to give an
indicated horsepower of II ,000 and are ex-
pected to drive the boat along at a speed
of 20 knots an hour. The steering gear is
to be so arranged that it can be worked by
hydraulic or hand power. There will be
an apparatus for distilling fresh water for
the boilers, as well as for drinking pur-
poses.
The chief rooms of the vessel are situated
aft. The imperial apartments Will be ar
ranged on the main deck. They consist of
several elegant cabins, drawing-room and
a small dining saloon, seating eighteen
persons. Between decks there will also be
more imperial apartments. The greater
space of this deck will be fitted up for the
imperial suite. On the lower deck there
will be rooms for the servants. On the
upper deck ait roomy deckhouse will be
erected, containing some imperial apart
ments and dining saloon for sixty
persons.
On the main deck amidships there will
be rooms for the Marine Minister, the Ad-
miral and the superior officers. At the
fore part there will be the officers berths
and messroom. Forward of the messroom
will be the quarters for the crew, about
400 men. The yacht will have two tunnels
and three masts, rugged fore and aft. She
will carry six light guns for saluting
purposes.
The Standard will not be finished for at
least year. When she is done her only
| rival as pleasure craft will be the Giralda
the "Pelagic Palace" as the London
writer's delight to call her, belonging to
Harry McCalmont, the young millionaire,
who is one of the members of the Valkyrie
syndicate.

HILLS SCHEME FAILED.
Unable to Hold Up His End in
a Deal by Fifteen
Millions.
So j. Pierpont Morgan May Under
take to Reorganize the Northern
Pacific Himself.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 23.-One OF
the argus eyes of Wall street is turned in.
tently upon J. Pierpont Morgan these days
with wondering look as to what hand he
is going to play in the reorganization OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad. On this
point, and also regarding the J. ]. Hill
plan, prominent Wall-street man, who
is deeply interested in the situation and is
unquestioned authority on these subjects,
said yesterday: when Morgan came
back from his trip on the Corsair he ascer-
tanned about as soon as he put foot on
shore that Hill had undertaken to deliver
more than he was able to supply. In plain
figures, Hill was short just $i500o, 900 on
the guaranty which he had assured Nor
gan he could put up in case Morgan would
undertake the reorganization of the road
in harmony with the Great Northern.
When Morgan got back he satisfied him.
self of the situation at once and declined
Hills offer, and now the Hill plan is alb.
solutely dead
Gas to the reorganization of the North
ern Pacific, there is no doubt that Morgan
will undertake it as soon as the decision in
the hearing before Judge Hanford in Seat
ally our eyes are directed to Seattle and
the hearing over the question of the re-
moval of the receivers of the road, T. f.
Cakes, Henry G. Payne and III. G. Rouse,
who were made receivers under the order
of Judge Jenkins of Wisconsin. There is
every reason to expect a speedy decision
by Judge Hanford and then the way will
be clear for Morgan to take hold of the re-
organization. You may say that beyond
doubt, as matters now stand, Morgan will
reorganize the road. He no longer con-
siders the Hill plan at al"
There has been good deal of comment
on the great array of Senatorial legal tai
emit which Messrs. Sullivan and Cromwell,
the lawyers for the receivers, engaged for
their clients in the present contest. The
man above quoted said upon this point
1--WE propose to haul Cromwell over the
Goals for the heavy expense to which he
has, as we think neediessly put the COM
pany in engaging such an extensive array
of high-priced talent. Why should he en-
gage seven United States Senators to repre-.
sent the receiver?"
Further confederation of the announce
ment made in the above statement that ],
Pierpont Morgan would be the man of the
hour in Northern Pacific matters was
found yesterday in the statement made by
the Deutsche Bank of Berlin that it would
cooperate with Mr.. Morgan in any plan
that he might undertake for the rehabili.
tation of the Northern Pacific.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 23.-Maior
Woodhouse, ex-Minister to Hawaii, who
arrived here this morning from Honolulu,
and is stopping at the Windsor Hotel, was
seen tonight by reporter, and spoke
freely of the situation in Hawaii. He
said:
'Just before left Honolulu asked per-
nilsson of the Hawaiian authorities to

L had been accredited as British Minister
by Queen Victoria, but was refused. had
no opportunity of seeing her or ascertain
ing what her condition was. All know is

uses, namely, for Government offices and
troops. AS was not allowed to see her
cannot say what her future may be. The
financial condition of the country is very
bad, and the Government is getting deeper
into debt every day."

GUESSING ON THE FUTURITY.
Rorsenen at Sea Regarding the Winner
of the Great Race.

of tho Great Race.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 23.-The
eighth Futurity race will be run at the
Sheepshead Bay course of the Coney ISL
and Jockey Club tomorrow. Indications
tonight are that it will be the greatest
two-year-old race ever seen in this coun-
try. In no previous year have there been
SO many two-year- that class in the
first fight, and horsemen tonight appear
to be all at sea as to the probable winner.
Handspring, Hastings, Apologize, Re-
quittal, Axiom, Crescendo, Jefferson and
Hazlet are all high-class youngsters, very
close together, and any one OF these may
be returned the winner. A well-known
bookmaker. in speaking of the race at the
Aqueduct course to-day, gave expression
to the views held by the talent regarding
the race when he said:
1t is going to be close and exciting
race, and any one of a half dozen horses
that can name may be the winner. / am
going to offer 2 to and take your pick
when the betting opens tomorrow. That
is what l think of the race"
The race will be worth $67, 900, the
greater portion of which goes to the win
ner. That every horse entered will be sent
along for this immense sum goes without
saying.
The track is in excellent condition, and
with no rainfall before tomorrow after
noon it would be almost lightning fast.
Superintendent Clark has had it thor
oughly worked and prepared for the open
ing of the fall meeting until it is as nearly
an ideal as ever man may hope to see.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, Aug. 23.-The
detectives and the police have obtained no
tangible clew to the whereabouts of the
two train-robbers who shot and killed De-
tective Powers on a Grand Rapids and
Indiana train in this city last night. The
country has been secured by officers all
day but they have accomplished little or
nothing,
A suspect was arrested near Sparta to-
day and brought here. He gave his name
as Ed Brook and claims he was looking for
work among the fruit farms. He said he
camped in the woods last night. A second
suspect was brought in and locked up by
Deputy Sheriff Bouma late this evening.
He gives his name as Alfred Rustead and
is a Norwegian. He refuses to talk.
A rumor was rife on the streets this after,
noon to the effect that Under-Sheriff Reed
of Counselyille had been shot and killed
while attempting to arrest two men
answering the description of the fleeing
murderers. The report is untrue.

NO HELP FROM ENGLAND.

Action Here.
SPEAKER CRIsPs TOUR ABROAD.
AS a Leader of the Minority Of the
Next Congress He Went for
Information.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 23.-Bal-
four in the House of Commons yesterday
set a seal of disappointment on the hopes
of those silver men who had been counting
on an international agreement. He gave
it as his opinion that such an agreement
in the interest of bimetallism could not be
reached. The question, therefore, follows,
Why further agitate the proposition of an
international conference2
This opinion does not surprise the more
extreme silver men in Washington. They
have been looking for it. 1t is in con-
sonance with their own views, held from
the moment of the ascertainment of the
great Conservative victory in England.
They knew Balfour's personal feeling in
the premises, but they predicted that sill
yer could not materially benefit from the
change in the administration. For all that
he is the leader of the largest majority in
the House of Commons of modern times,
Balfour can do nothing toward the rehabili-
tation of silver as redemption money.
The announcement is source of COM
fort to the free coinage men. They hail it
as simplifying the issue in this country.
IN their opinion settlement of the ques-
tarded by the glittering promises of secur-
ing England's aid in the fight. And yet,
as they hold, it has never been among the
probabilities to enlist England in the
cause. The old evasion, therefore, is no
longer serviceable. England is not III it,
and can no longer be used by the men
who have been hiding behind her. The
question is now thought to be stripped of
ali membranes. 1t must be decided
purely on its relation to the policy of this
country. An international agreement is
pronounced improbable by an authority
from which there would appear to be no
appeal.
Growing out of the discussion of the
subject is an explanation of the visit
abroad of Mr.. Crisp. The ex-Speaker is a
member of the Board of Commissioners
recommended and partly filled by the last
Congress, to represent the United States at
an International Monetary Conference,
should one be called. It is said that sew
eral months ago Mr.. Crisp became satisfied
that conference was unlikely, and if he
was to acquaint himself at first hand with
the. views of foreign statesmen on the
silver question it must be by means of "a visit
as an individual. His friends agreed with
him and advised the trip. They pointed
out that as leader of the minority in the
next House, where finances are certain to
be so strongly debated, he would need all
the information he could acquire, and that
it should be all of the most reliable char
acter.
This is said to have decided the matter
and he set at once about preparing for the
journey. So, whether there is conference
or not, Mr.. Crisp will be ready next winter
to discuss the silver question according to
the best European lights and in a conclu-
sive manner.

At o'clock this morning convoy con-
sisting of fifty wagons and fifty mules,
loaded with provisions and ammunition,
left the city for the village of Cobre, es-
corted by guerrillas and body of regu-

having heard of this have been gathered
for two days in that direction in great
numbers, under the command Of Colonel

They met the convoy little beyond La

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 2s.-In the House
OF Commons to-day Robert w. Hamburg
Financial Secretary of the Postofiee De-
partment. stated in reyly to question by
j. Henniker Heaton, that it was the in.
tention of the Government to follow up
the efforts of their predecessors in office
toward the establishment of a parcel post
service between the United States and
Great Britain.
Sir John Leng, member of Dundee,
asked whether the Board of Trade could
not control the speed of railway trains,
which are now racing daily between Lon
don and Aberdeen. The extraordinary
speed attained by these trains, he declared,
was certain to result in terrible accident.
Charles L. Richie, president of the Board
of Trade, replied that the board had no
power to interfere in the matter. The
public, he said, must rely upon the COM
nonsense of the railway companies.
Sir John Leng said he did not believe
there was any true or solid ground for ex-
Guiding Canadian cattle from Great Britain.
