At Philadelphia the Brooklyn
Has Been Made Ready
for the Waves.
The New Armored Cruiser Is a Mar
vel, and Represents the High
est Type of Warships.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 28.-The
launch of the new armored cruiser Brook
Ign, at the Cramps shipyard in Philadel-
phia, next Wednesday, viii be quite an
event in naval circles. The Brooklyn rep
cruiser, and naval officers say that experts
the world over look upon the new Ameri-
can cruiser as marvellous craft.
She has been compared to the New York,
but is said to surpass the latter in eff
cheney, steaming radius, coal-carrying ca
pacity and weight of metal discharged
from her batteries.
The New York was declared by the ex-
perts at the Kiel celebration to be the most
superb specimen of the unarmored class of
ship ahoat. The Brooklyn, in general de-
sign, resembles her and has already been
given the title OF the New York's sister
ship. But the Brooklyn not only combines
all of the valuable features of the New
York, but adds those of later development.
The speed required of her is the same as
that of the New York, twenty-one knots
for four hours run, but the Cramps ex-
pect her to beat the record of the New
York. Her engines are more powerful
twenty feet greater length than the New
York. Her coal capacity, it is said, would
enable her to steam around the Horn to
San Francisco without once having to stop
for an additional supply. The enormous
height of her tunnels keeps her furnaces
burning at liveller rate than those of any
ether ship now in commission, and enables
her to maintain high rate of speed with
out a false draught. The Brooklyn looks
at a distance very much like the Jean Bart,
the great French armored cruiser seen at
the.New York naval review.
When completed she will cost upward OF
$1,000, 900, exclusive of ordnance ana ar
NOR. The vessel has now been building
ABOUT three years. She was authorized
July 10, 1892, with 8 limitation on her cost
not exceeding So, 800 0OO. Her dimensions
are as follows: Length on load water line,
400.50 feet; extreme beam, 4.35 feet; mean
draft. "a feet; normal displacement, 915C
tons; indicated horsepower, 10000; speed
IN knots, 20; total coal capacity, 1850 tons.

almost within touching distance, and the
Humboldt seemed to be resting on nest
of rocks She carries about 200 tons OF
freight.
Purser Laird and Mr.. Buhne are both
confident that the vessel is total loss.
The Humboldt was launched in this bay
October ., 1875 and was built by the bust
ness men of this county. She has had more
than her share of bad accidents in her
twenty years of life and has always come
out unscathed. Only one life was lost in
twenty years-that of Second Officer Caba-
Mss on the last trip.
Several years ago the steamer Arago ran
the Humboldt down near Point Reyes and
came near sinking her. Some time after
ward she lost her rudder on the bar and
was four days in reaching San Francisco.
She was valued at $780, 900 when new ,..and
carried a valuable cargo on her last trip
She was insured for $4,000.

CANADA WANTS THE CUP.
Prominent Men HILL Build a Boat to Conn
pete for the TrODhN.


MONTREAL. CANADA, Sept. 2S.-The
outcome of the cup races this year has
given tremendous boom to yachting in
Canada and as result of this boom a syn
dictate of wealthy men, members of the
Royal Canadian and Royal st. Lawrence
Yacht Clubs, have signified their intention
of challenging for the cup next year.
The gentleman said to be the head of the
syndicate is Sir George Rivers, the wealthy
railroad magnate, and he is supported by
some of the best-known business men of
the Dominion. In the event of the boat
built this year not being able to compete
for the cup another will be built in 1897 for
the same purpose.
Canada has already had two tries for the
cup, in both being unsuccessful, but this
time she hopes to have better luck, as she
thinks it will be easier to build boat to
suit the American waters, as they are
practically similar to those of Canada
Plans are already being drawn for the
new boat, and it is said they are by
Watson. The new boat will be designed
of similar material to that used in Val
kyrie III and will also be largely con-
structed above the water line of alumni
mum. The total cost will be about 500, 900.

DEPARTURE OF DUNRAVEN.
He WiU Return Neat Year IA Quest of til
Cum.


NEWPORT, r. l., Sept 28.-Mr. Lay
cocks big yacht Valhalla, which came es-
pecially to witness the America cup races,
left this morning, having on board Lord
Dunrayen and his two daughters, Lady
Eileen and Lady Rachel. Previous to his
departure he was seen by THE CALL CORE
spondent and consented to give his views
on the cup races of this year and the pros
poets for racing in the future.
Referring to the statements which had
been credited to him that he did not have
high regard for the American press, he
said that he wished that error corrected.
He did think that the American newspa-
pers had dealt very fairly, and while, OF
course, there were few whose tone on the
difficulty had not been what common
courtesy should have dictated, the general
tone was of the highe st character.
There seems to have been an idea
abroad that never intended to challenge
for the cup again, and that even if did SO
the challenge would not be accepted. This
is entirely misleading, as had in mind a
prompt challenge for rexE year as soon as
the present difficulty had been settled in
some way. I see that l am rather late
now. but if the present challenger does not
succeed in capturing the cup next season
1 shall surely be back in 1897 for another
| try"
Asked whether he could say anything
in regard to the manner in which he had
been treated by the New York Yacht Club
he smiled and replied: 81 have no cause
for complaint. / was treated the same as

which must follow every sportsman, but /

An UNI UCKY BOAT.
The HtmbOldt Figured in Frequent I
cideglfs,

The Humboldt Figured in Frequent 4c-
cidents.
The Humboldt sailed from San Fran
cisco for Eureka, Fields Landing and Ar
cata last Friday morning. She had a
large general cargo and the following pas
sengers: F. W. Belcher, L. FitzelI, H. H.
Noyes, Mrs. E. Young, ]. W. Layacol, o.
Merrill and wife, Mrs. F. Mccain, S. G
Agglar, E. Miner, R. H. Flowers, Miss j.
Griswold, Miss E. L. Stewart, Miss ].
Schatzer, Mrs. E. H. MCGOWAN, A. II.
Buhne, A. Hosmer, A. Waldron, Joseph
Hayland, NJ. Harrison, E. Felt, F. Arm
strong, Miss Ross, Miss J. Califf, Mrs.
Francis, Mrs. Harrison, L. Schwartz, J. P.
Elliott and ]. Olson.
The Humboldt was a stanchly built
vessel, having been practically recon
structed in 1886. For years she has been
in Eureka, Fields Landing and Arcata
trade, and was favorite with the travelling
public. Max Kalish, who is now the
popular agent of the line, was for years the
purser of the steamer. She was built
originally at Eureka in 1875, and is 1856
net tonnage. Her dimensions are: 154
feet long, % feet inches broad and feet
inches deep. w. ]. Sweasev is the
managing owner and Captain Edwards
was in command when the steamer sailed
last Friday.
A thick fog has prevailed along the
coast for the last three days, and the gen
eral superstition is that the skipper lost
his way and went on the rocks in the early
morning.
The Humboldt has been very unfortu-
nate of late years. Many months ago her
engines broke down, and she was three
days overdue when tug picked her up
and towed her into port. Later, she was
in collision with the steamer Arcata, but
arrived on time with a yawning hole in
her bow, which had been patched up with
canvas. On the trip before this Inflated
one Second Mate Cabaniss was washed
overheard and drowned. Seas were
breaking over the forward part of
the vessel and a number Of butter
boxes on the forecastle got loose. Ca
baniss went forward to secure them, and
while ne was at work a very heavy sea
broke aboard and carried the butter-boxes
and the unfortunate sailor away. The YES
sci was stopped and life-belts thrown over,
but the chances are that Cabaniss was
stunned by one of the boxes striking him,
because his body was never seen again.
Should the Humbol prove to be total
loss the chances are that no vessel will be
built to take her place, and there will be
no competition for the Hum boIdt Bay
trade

B 4SEBALL FRANCHISES.
Spirited Contest to Secure Franchises
From the Western League.

from the western League.
CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 2S.-No decision
was reached by representatives of the
Western Baseball League in regard to
which clubs shall make up the league
which is as yet incomplete by two clubs
A six-club league in which the franchises
are to be for five years each was formed
last night, but all efforts to complete the
number of clubs proved futile at to-day's
session, and the league adjourned to meet
in Chicago November 90, when it will hear
the report of q committee appointed to
consider the claims of four cities to a fran
chise.
The cities are Columbus, Omaha, Grand
Ra pids and Toledo, and the committee
consists of President B. B. Johnson, w. f.
C. Colt of indianapolis and Matt Killilea
OF Milwaukee. Manager Ellis of the Grand
Rapids team, who is the most favored
bidder for the Columbus franchise, told
the delegates he wished it understood that
if he could not get the Columbus franchise
he was bidder for any he could get.
Manager Denny Long, who holds the
Terre Haute franchise, is a bidder for
any club he can get also. 1t was given
out that If Ellis was granted the Toledo
franchise John Carney, the Terre Haute
first baseman, would be associated with
him in the management of the club.
1t was asserted. however, by Manager
Vanderbeck of the Detroit Club that he
had secured Carney for Detroit next sea-
son by trading for him two players, an in
and out fielder Mr. Vanderbeck also
claims to have traded for Al Weddige, also
Terre Haute player.
The SIS, 900 surplns, after the $4,000 pro-
vided for by the constitution to be set
aside as a sinking fund had been SUBJ
tracted. was divided up among the mem
bers of last years league pro rata.
A vote of thanks was extended to retir-
ing manager Murphy of the Minneapolis
Club, whose franchise was turned over to
Goodenow. The circuit committee ap-
pointed Thursday will make out the cir
cult table later on

Tuttle, the dashing beauty of Caldwell
Kans., who recently created such sensa-

the Sheriff into Missouri, and after leading
him chase of over 200 miles sold the out
fit at a handsome figure and purchased a
ticket to New York, but was apprehended
before she had started on her trip. The

much to the surprise of her friends, who
had predicted that her beauty would save
her from the penitentiary. She is the first
woman ever convicted of demonstrating in

or tubercular consumption he is frankly told
that he cannot be cured, though much may be

science has yet failed to discover any cure for
these two dreadful maladies all the physicians

is beyond human power to remove these evils.
Nevertheless it should not be forgotten that

Again have the principal Mercur peo-
pie absorbed outside property, but this
time they have associated with them
ex-Congressman Dorsey and two other
Nebraska capitalists. Negotiations
which have been on for some time
past were successfully closed up yester-
day afternoon and Messrs. Dern, Dor
sey, Airs, Heinrich and the two other
Nebraskans referred to secured a
bond on the Malvern, Lehi and Little
Jim groups, owned by Messrs. Sher-
man. Jacobs, F. II. Ottlcer ana n. d.
Officer. These properties are directly
adjoining the famous Sunshine group
and they went at a handsome sum-
S1OO. 600. This is the heaviest amount
that has ever been involved in amy
other Camp Floyd district deal that
provided for the ultimate transfer OF
only unimproved or semi-unimproVed
property. The amount fixed as the
purchase price gives evidence OF the es-
TEEN in which the ground in the south
ern end of the district is held. Being
adjoining the Sunshine, the group must
of necessity contain the continuation
of the great vein that will give the
owners of the Sunshine such rich re-
turns on their investment just as soon
as the new mill gets down to active
operations. The payments on the
bond are scattered over a period of
fifteen months, the first being made
yesterday when the deeds to the prop
critics were placed in escrow to await
the payment of the last installment.
It is the intention of the holders Of
the bond to commence the immediate
development of the claims on an eX-
tensive scale, and three shafts are to
be sent down, one on each group. The
heavy work will be done on the NAL
vern however. Just sufficient devel-
opment work has already been done
to demonstrate beyond the question
of a doubt that the ore is there in
great quantities and of splendid val
ues. There are ten claims included in
the deal, which would mean $4,000 for
each. These properties have always
been considered among the most vail
liable in the district and a number of
people have previously to this time en-
deaVored to secure possession of them
but they were never able to meet the
terms of the owners. It did not take
Mr.. Dorsey and his associates long to
definitely ascertain the value of the
ground and the successful closing up
of the deal is the result. 1t is not at
all unlikely that some of the interested
people will go out to the camp this
morning and before the end of the
week actual development work will
have commenced. The Mercur people
take thes properties independent of the
Mercur company. They did well
enough for the latter last week in the
purchase of the Matte No 4 group.
