a SERIOUS PROBLEM.

impossible to Man the Ships With
the Number of Sailors Allowed.
Washington, June 1T is becoming
each day more of a problem for the
navy department to man our ships
with the small number of sailors AL
lowed by law. In recent years there
have been constant additions to the
ships of the new navy, but Congress
has not seen fit to increase in like
proportion the number of sailors
to man them. The modern ship, with
its complex machinery and great size.
requires more men than the small
sailing steamers of the war period.
yet with all the liberality which Con-
gress has shown in appropriatfng
money for the construction of new
ships, 1t has failed to grasp the i'm
Dortance of giving them effective
crews. Last year, Secretary Herbert
appealed 10 the legislative branch of
the government to authorize the en-
largement of the number of enlisted
men by 1000, pointing to the number
OF new ships that will be completed
and turned over to the navy in the
course of a year or two as the basis
OF his application. The appropriation
committee, however, saw fit to cut this
number down to 1000 additional men.
Now the battleships Maine at the New
York navy yard and the Texas at the
Norfolk yard will be ready to go into
commission this summer. To man
these two ships, about 200 men will be
required, and as the Lancaster is also
to go into service as a practice shin,
300 men must be assigned to her. Thus
the entire additional 1000 men allowed
by Congress will be absorbed. Mean
while. the big battleships Indiana,
Oregon, Iowa and Massachusetts are
rapidly approaching completion, and
there Will be no sailors to place on
them unless the department shall put
out of commission some other ships
and transfer their crews to the new
vessels. There are already lying at
the Mare Island navy yard several
warships that the department could
put to good service if they could be
manned, and it is said that many of
the ships in commission are manned
with crews far below their natural
quota, hus imposing unduly heavy
tasks on the few men employed, tend
ing to foment discomfort among them.
1t is probable that when Congress
meets again the secretary of the navy
will be obliged to make a prompt ap-
peal for more men or to allow our war
ships to remain idly tied up at their
docks when they are needed for
foreign service.

RAILROAD OF NIAGARA.
Route to Include Points of Interest

Route to Include Points of Interest
On the American side.
The Niagara-gorge electric railroad
is now believed to be assured, for the
surveys have been made from Niagara
Falls to Lewiston, the work Of cross
sectioning the line has been completed,
and the necessary bonds to secure the
capital are being floated easily. The
plan of the route includes all the prin-
cipal points of interest on the Amer
lean side, the island, the falls, the
Whirlpool Rapids. Devils Hole-in
fact, a continuous trip along the
waters edge at the base af the deep
river gorge, past every notable nat
ural feature. Every one who has
ever visited Niagara remembers the
cost of hacks, elevator fares, and adj
mission tickets. Uuder the new sys-
tenn, however, it is proposed 20 charge
one fare, and that not extravagant,
for the round trip by electric road,
the circuit to include the best views
to be had from the American shore.
1t is believed this will attract many
more visitors than have been able TO
enjoy these wonders in former years,
especially as it will be possible TO Of

ton For some time the tide ,of
tourist travel has set toward the
Dominion shore on account of the SUI
perior facilities afforded there by the
Canadian Electric railroad run
ming from Queenstown to Chip-
pewa. The American hotels,
owing to this foreign attrac-
ton, quickly felt loss of patronage,
and it was evident something must
be done TO check it. Buffalo capital
lists, who held large property interests
at the falls became interested in the
problem and the plan for the new road
is the result of their enterprise. Now
that the surveys have been made the
work will be pushed rapidly, and
there is little doubt the road will be
in running order by the time the tour

HARRITY'S OPINION.
To Call Currency Convention
Would Be PrejudiciaI to the In
terests of the Democratic Party.

Philadelphia, June Cha rman William
F. Harrity, Of the Democratic National
committee. has received a number of in
quiries as to whether he intended to call
a meeting OF the committee at an early
day to decide whether or not convention
should be called TO take action on the
money question. Mr.. Harrity has there
fore written the following open letter:
Il do not expect or intend to call
meeting of the Democratic National COM
mittee until next winter, when it Will
meet for the purpose of fixing the time
and place for holding the Democratic ma
tional convention of 1896. unless 1 shall
be requested to do so by the requisite
number of the Democratic National COM
mittee. L do not believe there is any ne
cessity for a convention at this time; on
the contrary, am of the opinion that to
call one now would be harmful to the
business interests of the country and pre-
judicial to the welfare of the Democratic
party
Mr.. Harrity said he had nothing to add
to what is contained in this letter.

A WORD FOR THoROUGHBREDs.

There was a time, says a successful
poultryman, when I began poultry breed
ing as a business, that 1 hardened to the
voice of the charmer and bought common
hens at 50 cents each for layers. The
first winter I had forty thoroughbred hens
and over eighty common ones. To my
surprise, the thoroughbreds laid fully
two-thirds of the eggs gathered. I sold
the common stock and vowed that there
should never be a common hen on the
place. Our experience is that of many
poultry keepers. In four years I have
known not single flock of common
fowls that furnished their owner a $
plus of eggs in cold weather.

THE GIyE-AwAY BREATH.

This testimony has been given in
Maryland court by moneyed foung
woman who had been sued by an
elderly man for breach of promise OF
marriage. Was she justified in dis
carding her sutton for such a reason:
Pretty nearly so. The man who would
carry on his suit for a young woman s
hand, or daily with her affections
while he was under the influence OF
liquor, does not deserve to meet with
success. But the young woman ought
to have cut the old fellow when first
she smelled the stuff, and refused to

as a perfectly sober young sutton was
trying to win the hand which she

QUACKENBUSH'S CASE.
One that Excites the sympathy of
All Unprejudiced Personalities
of the Navy.

Washington, June THE applica-
ton of John NJ. Quackenbush, late
commander U. S. N, for a writ of
mandamus to compel Secretary Her
bert to restore his name to the rolls
Of the navy, came up in the district
court today, the question at issue be-
ing whether a rule should issue re-
curing Secretary Herbert to show
cause why the mandamus should not
be granted.
Quackenbush was tried by court
martial and sentenced to dismissal
from the navy, but his sentence was
committed by the president to sus-
pension for six years.
Before the expiration of the time, the
officer next below him in rank was pro
NOTED into his place and later on Sec
rotary Chandler removed his name
from the rolls. Quackenbush applied
repeatedly to Congress Jr reinstate-
ment and several times nearly sue
ceeded in his efforts.
In discussing the case, Justice
Bradley said he was of the opinion
that his court had no jurisdiction, the
only remedy lying with Congress. He
continued:
THE case, however, is one to excite
the sympathy Of any unprejudiced
person. The record shows that it was
not the intention OF the president or
secretary Of the navy to dismiss
Quackenbush, and that he was dis
missed accidentally by the promotion

Been Destroyed.
London, June ga dispatch to the
Standard from Vienna gives additional
particulars of the flooding Of Kobers-
dorf, the summer resort in the noun
tains. So sudden was the rise of the
freshet, that it was not realized until
the bodies of the dead peasantry and
furniture from the cottages came
floating into the lower part of town.
One of the remarkable incidents of
the food was related by some of the
persons who escaped to the noun
tains. 1t was the story of the manner
in which a cradle containing a sleep
ing child was forced down the gorges
by the rushing waters. The child was
rescued with difficulty by the people
in the lower part of the village.
Owing to damage to wires it is i'm
possible to ascertain the exact loss of
life, but it is feared that the whole
town has been destroyed. 1t is known
that twelve bodies of inhabitants of
this one village have already been re-
covered.
