TIE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
Chief Engineer Baird VIII PrObn bl
Succeed Engineer Williamson.

Succeed Engineer Williamson.
Although TO appointment has yet been
made 1t is practically settled that Chief
Engineer George W. Baird of the navy will
succeed Chief Engineer Thorn Williamso on
of the navy as superintendent of the State,
War and Navy Departments building. The
change will take effect on the 5th proximo.
when Mr.. Williamson will go upon the re-
tired list by operation of law on account
Of age. He has expressed a desire to re-
main in his present duty up to the date of
retirement, and his wishes In this matter
will undoubtedly be respected. Otherwise
he would be given leave of absence, a
privilege to which his long and steady
application to duty has entitled him:
A Native of This City.
Chief Engineer Baird is a native of this
city, and is well and favorably known to
its residents. He was formerly assistant
sure erintendent of the building, and conse-
ouently is thoroughly familiar with the
work he will be called on to perform.
More recently he has been attached to the
dispatch boat Dolphin. His only competi-
gineer David Smith, who has just con-
cluded a cruise in the Pacific on the flag
ship Philadelphia. He is now on his way
to this city from San Francisco. He was
regarded es a strong candidate for the
office, inasmuch as he halls from Massa-
chrsetts and had the Endorsement Of the
Secretary of State.
How MIR. Baird VIII Win.
The significance of this Endorsement lies
in the fact that the appointment is vested
in the Secretaries Of State. War and Navy.
Secretary Olney favored the selection of
Mr.. Smith. Secretary Herbert was pledged
to the support of Mr.. Baird. and. since
Secretary Lamonts return from his west
ern tour, he has been won over to the
cause of Mr.. Baird. Therefore, as that
gentleman has a majority of the votes
necessary to a choice 1t is reasonable to
infer that his ultimate appointment is
assured.

FOR SOUND NONE "
Object of Secretary Smiths Present Trip
to Georgia.
He VIII Speak in Every Prominent
City in the State and Goes Com
fdent of Success.

Secretary Smith goes to Georgia with the
determination 10 convert the democrats of
that state TO Sound" mor;ey or else to spoil
some ores political future. His own fu-
ture is at stake in the fight, and with such
an issue ard the energy and skill which
he possesses, 1t Is believed that he will
warm up the politics of the state. He has
succeeded already in making a division
among the Georgia congressional delcga-
ton. which was before solIdly for silver.
and he proposes to extend his stumping
tour SO as to get the ear of the people of
the whole state, speaking at every prom
inent point in the state. He has worked
up sufficient strength for his side Of the
contention to insure his being given an en-
thusiastic reception everywhere he sreaks,
tho friends of the administration being
numerous enough at each place selected to
make good crowd. Independently Of those
in doubt or opposed to Clevelands financial
policy. Mr.. Smith Is unqueStionably con-
flent of success. 1t is admitted by his
friends that If ne should fail to hold the
state for sound money 1t would leave
very little promise of political preferment
for him in the future. On the other hand,
II he wins 1t will be a triumph which his
friends think will make him the Ylost con-
spicuous man of the new south, inspiring
the east with confidence in him which
might render him the irst available SOUTH
eiA Hdi lOT tne presidency. Inc Georgia
senatorship Is a more immediate reward
ne has to expect from victory. He there
fore does not go into the fight in a per-
functory way.
Admfnistrat tiOn Line of Policy,
The administration line Of policy in try
ing first to capture the southern democracy
and then the democratic national conven-
tion Is expected to be exactly that followed
in Kentucky. They will make no effort to
secure the Endorsement Of the single gold
standard. but will endeavor to prevent any
declaration in favor of silver 16 to 1, or
any denunciation of the administration.
Every failure of the silver men to secure
the adoption of a straisht-out free silver
resolution will be counted victory for the
administration and for the gold cause. In
dealing with silver democrats the admins
tration cry is: Consider party first" If
this cry is effective in keeping silver in the
background at the democratic conventions
this summer and fall 1t is believed that
there will be no serious difficulty in secur-
ing delegations to the national convention
next year who will consent to say Anothing
In particular" in the national platform and
agree to most any nomination and any sort
of policy which will give promise of victory
to the party name.

Lieut. N. r. Usher, the naval inspector
of the torpedo boat Ericsson. has made an
official report to the Navy Department up
on the recent accident sustained by that
boat He says: 'It was the intention to
run the boat for two hours under trial con-
ditions, the coal not being of the best quail
ity. The run was to be again between the
lightships off Bartlett's Reef and Cornfield
Shoal. At 9:24 o'clock passed Bartletts
Reef lightship having only little more
than 100 pounds steam The steam press
ure constantly increased, and Cornfeld
Shoal lightship was passed at 9:5s. the en-
gines working without fault. The distance
Ill 81 knots-was made In 33 minutes ~
seconds, against the ebb tide, and the steam
pressure had increased to 70 pounos. "A
short turn was then made, rather shorter
than usual, and the vessel started on ner
return run to Bartletts Reef hghtsnio.
Shortly after passing Cornfield Shoai ngnt-
ship Assistant Engineer f.. L. Beac H.
United States naval inspector OF machi-
merry, reported that the revolutions We're
about 800 and the steam pressure on engine
room gauge 240 pounds. very snort Time
after this came the sound of an explosion
in the engine room, and the escaping steam
enveloped the afterpart Of the boat. Inc
stop valves on deck were closed as quickly
as possible. The engineers force at the
time in the engine room numbered nve.
Mr. Reach had lust finished noting the data
and had come on deck, and Mr.. Coleman.
the engineer having the trial in charge,
was also at the moment on deck AFTER
Mr.. Beach had come on deck the steam
pressure had increased to 2oo pounds'
Higher than this it was not wished 10 car

taxed the blowers unduly to maintain nigh
