THE ECUADOR REVOLUTION.
Capt. Watson of the Ranger Cables
Its Success.

Capt. Watson of the Ranger Cables
Its Success.
News Of the success of the revolutionists
in Ecuador came to the Navy Department
today in a cablegram from Capt. Watson of
the Ranger, which warship is now at Quay
aquil. The cablegram is dated at Guaya-
quill yesterday, and reads as follows: 1.-The
insurgents have possession of the city.
Governor General Flores has resigned,
Ignacio Robles Liberal has been proclaimed
military and civil general. Everything is
quiet at present. Communication with
Quito by telegraph is interrupted"
The last statement explains why the
State Department has heard nothing of
the progress Of the revolution from United
States Minister Tilman, who should have
arrived at his post at Quito some time ago.
Ecuador has been in a turbulent state for
some time past, and much dissatisfaction
was expressed by the people generally at
the conduct Of the government. This was
fermented by the transfer of the celebrated
Chilean cruiser Esmeralda from Chile to
Japan under cover of the Ecuadorian flag
early in the spring, and since that event
there have been several revolutionary out
breaks, eliminating in this last successful
attempt to overthrow the government for
1t is believed here that row that Guayaquil
and the other principal coast cities have
fallen into the hands of the revolutonists
their complete success will be only mat

When the President sent word over to
the Department of Justice a few days ago
to ask Attorney General OIney if he would
step over to the White House the sun was
shining with the greatest vigor it has
shown in this locality for years, and the
Attorney General, like every one else, was
endeavoring to avoid the heat. When he
reached the entrance to the White House
grounds there was sn inviting shade be-
meath the great trees that line the carriage

stepped over on the lawn and walked on

officer in the uniform of the metropolitan
police. AS the Attorney General saw him

The local synods delegations were assigned
places in the church by lot, Wartburg
synod securing the first choice. Devotional
services were conducted by President
Charles S. Albert The roll call was read

THE RAM KATAHDIN.
1t is Expected to Exceed the Speed
Required by Contract.


Required by Contract.
Naval officers are much encouraged by
the reports which come to the Navy De-
partment of the performances of the Am
men ram Katahdin at Bath, Ne. While no
official returns have been received, 1t is
known that the builders of the queer craft
are making private trials of engines and
boilers and machinery generally, and as far
as these have proceeded they are said 10
hold out the promise that the ram will GER
tainly exceed the speed required of her by
contract-seventeen knots per hour. 1t was
found On the first trial that the engines
were not working off all Of the steam which
the boilers could generate, and upon appli-
cation to the department the builders of
the boat were granted permission to change
the setting of the valves go as to permit
of more steam passing through the cylin-
ders of the triple expansion engine. This
was effected by delaying the cutting Off of
the steam to later point in the stroke.
The benefits Of this change were manifested
Immediately. The bureau of steam engi-
neering originally recommended a certain
style of propeller to meet the needs of the
peculiar huh OF the boat, but yielded to the
wishes of the con ira tors, who had a design
of their own, which they believed would be
more effective. The first trial demonstrated
the inefficiency of this propeller, and when
the noted English naval constructor, Mr..
l.
York, visited the Bath works recently and
was taken on a trial trip on the ram, he
promptly condemned the propeller and rec
commended the very type which had been
originally suggested by the engineering bu-
reau, longer in the blades by six inches
than the one in place. but with narrow
blades, that would not present greaser
surface to the water. A propeller OF ms
style will probably be put in place before
the official trial, and in connection with the
improvements that have been effected in
the engine 1t is believed that the boat will
make at least eighteen knots per hour.
Owing to her peculiar model, the katahdin
would be very much retarded by rough
water, such as she encountered on her first
trial trip, and besides this she was not only
carrying much more weight than is re-
quired for trial trip, but she was down by
the head, and thus obliged when driven to
plow deeply into the water which, of
course, is Incompatible with the attainment
of any great degree of speed. These things
will be corrected on the next trial, and the
builders will doubtless avail themselves of
the provision in the contract that the boat
shall be tried only in smooth water. be
cause she was designed for harbor use
alone.

THE VACANT AUTHORSHIP
A Deputy Selected to Act for the

to the Position by the
President.

partment, to act as auditor for the Navy

until a permanent appointment is made
Mr.. Elliot N. Bowman. deputy auditor for
the Navy Department, is on visit to In

been placed in temporary charge of the
business of the office.
1t Is practically settled that the President
will not go outside of the Treasury De-
partment in filling the vacant authorship,
and 1t is more than probable his selection
will fall upon Mr.. VIM. H. Pugh of Ohio.
SinsularIy Unfortunate.
That gentleman has been singularly un-
fortunate in his public service Soon after
Mr.. Cleveland entered upon his second term
he appointed Mr.. Pugh commissioner of
customs in the Treasury Department. That
entire bureau was abolished by Congress
last October in the reorganization of the
Provision was made for Mr.. Pugh, how
ever, by his appointment as superintendent
of the income tax, an office created i'll the
internal revenue bureau for his special
benefit, out of the general appropriation for
the collection of the income tax.
Mr.. Pugh has held that office for a few
months and could not possibly serve longer
than the end Of this month because of the
action of the Supreme Court in wiping the
entire income tax law off the statute books.
VIII Probably Get the Vacancy.
The President and Secretary Carlisle are
personally interested in Mr.. Pugh's well
fare and think highly of his legal ability.
he stands an excellent chance of being Mr..

Company and c. p. Huntington, which has
been before the federal courts of Texas

plication for writ of error to the circuit
court of appeals for the fifth circuit, made
by the original plaintiffs. The basis of the
proceeding is the alleged wrecking of the
Houston road in the interest of the South
ern Pacific. The Houston road was organ
lied originally as the Galveston and Red
River and received a grant of land amount
ing in the aggregate to $500, coo acres. The
road was absorbed by the Southern Pa
cific, and it is alleged in the complaint
that it was SO manipulated as to reduce
the value of the stock from IS cents on
the dollar to l3 cents. The lands of the
company were sold under a foreclosure
alleged to have been irregular and at prices
which are stated to be far below their real
value. The plaintiffs ask to have The de-
cree for the sale of the lands set aside and
also pray for other relief. The decisions
OF the courts below have been against the
plaintiffs. They claim to own s57O 900
