ed for contest between Corbett
and Jackson. In an interview
William A. Brady thus discusses
the situation: "Apologize; what
for? Jim simply gave his opinion
of men there as he found them. He
has that right, l believe, in this
country. Englishmen who come
here express themselves pretty
freely about us at home but when
they come back they have not the
nerve to stand by their statements.
Corbett is an American and is not
ashamed OF it. He upheld his
country and its institutions while
he was on the other side and he will
not apologize to the National club.
II Jackson is anxious to fight Cor.
bett, Jim will meet him in Dallas
Immediately after his contest with
Fitzsimmons, the same week, or IL
anything should happen to Fitz-
simmons, the same week, Jack

In any event, Corbett will retire

IS GREATLY ExoEss1VE.
Senator Morgan Gives His Views on the
 Boring Sen Question.

Washington, March S.-secretary Herbert has promptly taken up the program for increase in the navy pro vided for in the bill signed the last day of congress and the machinery of the navy department for issuing de- signs and specifications has already been put in motion. Of the eleven yes sells authorized the secretary is deter mined that at least nine shall be com pleted and commissioned during the present term of office and the other two shall at least be launched before March 4, 1897.
 The conclusion has been practically reached that three torpedo boats will be built on the plans of those recently bid upon and for which the contracts have not yet been completed, and it is probable that advertisements may be issued for these vessels in the course of week. Chief Constructor Hieh- borne was in conference with Secretary Herbert for over two hours to-day and it is understood that the entire force of the construction bureau will be or dered to complete designs for the six composite gunboats of about 1000 tons each.
 It has been decided that these vessels will have very large sail area and for general cruising they will be practically independent of their engines, which are to be of the quadruple expansion type, driving single screw. These little ships from which such great results are expected by naval officers will be the most comofrtable' ships in the service and probably the most eagerly sought for duty by the younger men of the line and staff.
 There is said to be nothing to delay the advertising for proposals to build these six vessels much longer than the end of this mont hand the prospects are that the contracts will be let in the next two months. There is not so much haste regarding the two big battleships to cost not more than four millions each Exclusive of armament, as the depart ment has had them in contemplation for several months and the plans can be speedily prepared when those for the gunboats are out of the way One of them is to be built on the Pacific coast. No more than two of the gunboats are to be built at one establishment and it is likely from the number of small yards which can undertake them that the will be sharp.

ALL WAS CONFUSION.
Several Killed in River Disaster Near
 Cincinnati Yesterday.

Cincinnati Yesterday. Cincinnati March 8.-A fatal river
 disaster occurred near this city early
 this morning. Five bodies have been
 recovered and missing man is sup posed to be drowned. At o'clock the
 stern-wheel steamer Longfellow of the
 Memphis and Cincinnati company left
 her landing at the foot of Main street
 and started for New Orleans. At o'clock she struck the south pier of
 the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
 bridge and sank in forty feet of water,
 The victims were:
 Dead-David Aldridge, passenger,

 keeper. Mrs. w. J. Ault, passenger.

 ton, o.
 A dense fog, which had hung over the river, lifted just before the steamer left her dock. The long boat was somewhat clumsy on account of her size and hard to turn in as swift current as the Ohio was now. The Hercules Carroll, her consort, attached by hawsers steamed alongside to see her safely through the bridges. The two boats passed the suspension bridge safely, but soon after this the Longfellow was struck by a cross-curTent. Her bows were swung toward the Kentucky side and soon despite the efforts of the Carroll to prevent it the big boat had crashed into the pile of masonry. Splintered timbers, broken glass, wrenched ironwork and boards and blanks 1oated right and left while the shrieks and cries of the frenzied pas sengers could be heard above the awful grinding of the big hull against the pier. The vessel struck the pier just abaft her boinlers and on her starobard side.
 All was confusion, and the passen- gers were so badly aroused that only a few of them had time to get their clothes. The Carroll dashed to the Longfellows assistance, and the lat ter's passengers. were transferred to the CarrolFs deck. Hardly had the last one saved landed on the uninjured steamer when the Longfellow parted amidships and disappeared in the muddy stream, bow first. The pilot house and some of the upper works floated down stream. All papers and records were lost, and nearly everything in the way of per- sonal property of the passengers and crew.
 When the force of the shock was felt the colored roustabouts made a wild rush for the Carroll, trampling passen- gers under foot, and throwing aside. Miller, the colored porter, was caught between the two vessels when the came together and his body was ground in two and fell into the river. The cause of the accident was the steamers re- fusal to obey her wheel, when she felt the strong current below the suspen- sion bridge. The officers of the boat feel assured that they have accounted for all the crew and passengers.
 The Longfellow was valued at $22,50O, and was insured for $12,500. The boat carried 800 tons of freight mainly in sured at Pittsburg.

HAYWARD IS CONYICTED.
He Has Been Found Guilty of Catherine
 Ging's Murder.

Minneapolis, March S.-Harry Hay ward was convicted to-day of the mur- der of Miss Catherine Cling. His trial lasted about seven weeks and attracted attention throughout the country. The principal witnesses against Hayward were his brother Adry and a man nam ed Blixt. Blixt confessed to taking Miss Cling in buggy to a lonely spot on the pretence that she was to meet man there who would sell her green goods, and that he shot and killed her. He said he was hypnotized by Harry Hay ward and forced by the latter's will to do his bidding.
 Harry Hayward's motive was shown to be desire to obtain insurance mon- ey on the young woman's life. She was d dressmaker and formerly resided in Auburn, N. Y
 The prisoner admitted during the tri- al that he was an inveterate gambler and this morning he placed a bet of $10 that the verdict would be an acquittal. During the trial an unsuccessful effort was made by the defense to prove that Adry Hayward was insane and that his testimony against Harry was due to bad feeling existing between the brothers When the verdict was an- nounced the prisoner displayed great coolness. Sentence was postponed un- til Monday.
