To be Made Fireproof.

Washington, July 4--Unde1
orders from the Secretary of the
Navy, Chief Constructor Hick-
born has undertaken the work of
making fireproof all parts OF
naval vessels that can be so ben
eited. The woodwork will be
subjected to fre-proof veneesing
by electrical process, and fire
proof paper and canvass will also
be utilized. The necessity for
this new departure of the Navy
Department was shown to Sec
tary Herbet after the battle be-
tween the fleets of Japanese and
Chinese ships at the mouth of
the Yalu river.
Nearly all the, Chinese ships
cought fire, and they were not
only materially weakened for
that reason, tut other ships were
compelled to come to their assis-
tance. Hereafter all combustible
meterial used in the construction
of United States naval vessels
will be mades nearly fireproof

Of the contractors of the Chi
cago, Indianapolis and Rockport
Railroad to pay one hundred and
fifty Italian laborers the money
due them according to promise,

ated and crazed with liquor and
have placed combustibles on the
bridge leading to the town and
in several public places, and al
so threaten to burn the town.

battle is emminent, and is only
kept back by the pleadings of
the Catholic priests.

Damaging Testimony Against the
Fair Widow,

La Plata. Nd, July 5.-The
evidence produced at to-day's
hearing in the trial of Mrs. Belle
Farrall for poisoning her hus-
band was more damaging to the
handsome defendant than any
thing that has preceded it. G..

wife.

Will Power VS. Death,

Will power is a wonderful thing
1t is that which wheels the world
along in a space of progress.
Three examples of it occur to US
at the moment. Governor Atkln-
son, of Georgia, was at the point
of death a few days ago. A cruel
ly exhausting operation was
performed; he sank into uncon-
sciousness several times, and his
physicians issued bulletins stat
ing that he could not live. He
said he did not intend to die and
up to date has kept his word
Laughing in the face Of disap-
pointment old Charon, he has
sent the grim ferryman of the
StyX to throw his uoat-chain at
other landing places,
The story of tie long and tedi-
Gus litigation in the case Of DR..
Buchanan is now a prominent
chapter il the criminal history
of this country, His fight for
life was a vigorous one; for four
long years, he struggled sue
cessfully to secure the laws de-
lays. And at the end, when the
last hour had gone, his mind was
still rebelling against the satif-
flying Of the demands Of justice.
After the autopsy, the physi-
clans said that the mans mental
ly bracing himself to resist the
terrible ordeal was so great as
to necessitate the second applica-
tiCn OF the current as related in
the press accounts of the cleo
trOcutiOn.
To-day we see that Prince
Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor,
who was reported to be sinking
under the infirmities Of old age
and great mental depression. has
rallied, due largely to the mum
up the fight Already he saw his
end approaching, and part of
his campaign against the obnoX-
ious nomination was conducted
while he was lying in the dark
ened committee room Of prlvi~
leges and elections He won
and died. When he fell, it was to
his party as the fall of noun
tain oak that goes crashing down

crate of Ashevile say that there

Gen Ransom.

Matt W. Ransom, of North Car

is in Washington and expresses
an intention to return to his post
if his health continues to i'm

severe illness caused his return
to North Carolina, and it was
generally supposed that he would
tender his resignation on the ex~
piration of his leave of absence.
His health is now in such a fair
way to restoration that he will
resume his diplomatic functions
in the City of Mexico if there is
no retrogression. Gen. Ransom
