BArrLEsHIp rhxAs ASHORE,
Hard and Fast in Newport Harbor-Nt
 Serious Damnge Feared.

Newport, R. l., Sept 16-United tonight added another mishap to her already unhappy career. In compliance with orders she was coming here for her torpedo outfit. She made the har- bor shortly after o'clock and at about 6:20 landed upon the torpedo station, having first gone over toward the Jamestown shore and then turned and came across the bay for an anchorage. For some reason the ships engines did not stop when they should and she kept forging ahead. Her anchor was dropped but she still did not stop and when too late her helm was thrown over with the hope of clearing the island and going to sea again. The water shoals very rapidly here and when she struck with land on her port quarter she ran her nose some two feet out of water and her stern was crowded under.
 Drawing twenty-three feet of water she was imbedded hard and fast in the heavy mud It was just about dusk and signal rockets were at once sent up. A tug went to her assistance and pulled tight on the tow line, but made no impression. It was some time after the ship struck before her engines finally stopped. The tide was still fall ing, but 1t Is not believed that her po- sition is serious, as divers say that the bottom is quite free of rocks. A large tug will make an attempt about o'clock in the morning. Some believe 1t will require more than an ordinary tide and small tugs to haul her off. This feeling is apparently shared by Captain Glass and his officers, for the crew seems to be listening her forward as much as possible.

There was no rock under her and she is uninjured without doubt Her going ashore was due to a nisunder- standing of orders in the engine room. It is understood that the port engine was not reversed when it should have been. The Texas was aground about seven hours.

Major-General Birney, who is now, at the age of 75, practicing law and doing departmental work in Washington, in letter to Wells & Richardson Company, says
 My wife has been taking the Paine's celery compound for some time past, and is so much pleased with it that she wishes me to express to you her high opinion of it's merits. She thinks it is the best remedy she has ever tried"
 General Birneys hearty acknowledg- ment of the great and lasting good that his family has received from Paine's eel cry compound is repeated, in substance, in countless testimonials written in the same grateful spirit and sent from every part of the country.
 Don't sit with folded arms and do nothing towards getting rid of poor health. Drive out all impurities from your blood; build up the vigor of the body with Pane's celery compound-the one remedy that has kept all it's prom ises in the past.
 The tired nerves and brain need just the sort of nourishment that this great invgorator is able to supply. Now is the time when Paines celery compound aided by the, favorable in- | fuences of the season, fairly outdoes it.

St. Louis, June 12.-There are indica- tions of a disruption in the solid state support of H. Clay Evans candidate for the nomination as vice-presdent, grow ing out of local friction between the three sections of Tennessee, east, middle and west.
 The friction grows out of the contest for member of the national committee to succeed George W. Hill, the incum- bent. The fight is between the field on one side and the Chattanooga candi- date, Charles W. Chamberlain, on the other. Chattanooga has the vice-presi- dential candidate, the delegate and all ternate-at-large and the chairman of the state central committee The friends of four other candidates for MT Hilps place are threatening a bolt from Evans unless that gentleman and MT. Newell Saun- ders, chairman of the state committee, both of whom it was claimed are actively pushing MT. Chamberlain for national committeeman, do not permit the place to go to some other part of the state.

The czar.s Ears to the Wires.

Washington, June 12.-Aside from mak- ing call at the White House today to take formal farewell of President Cleve- land, and another at the residence of Representative Hit of Illinois, who has been ill for some time, Speaker Reed re- mained at the Shoreham in constant tel egraphic communication with friends and managers at St. Louis. He had no further comments to make respecting MT. Manley's celebrated statement of night before last. Friends of the speaker in St.
 Louis said that they believed MT. Manley became panic stricken at the demonstra- ton made by the partsans of Mckinley at the first meeting of the national com mittee, and that Manley's regret over his action satisfied them that "he did not mean it." The assertion made by Messrs. Manleys and Murry Grain, the latter of Massachusetts at St. Louis, that the speaker would not under any condition accept the nomination for the vice presi- dency was reiterated by his friends in Washington. so tha. there need be no misundersta tanding on that point The &C., tion of the national committee in throw ing out Reed delegates, especially those from Louisiana, was commented on with much bitterness by his friends as unnec- essary If Mckinley had a majority of the convention, and indefensible in any view. They were advised that the anti McKin- ley men from Texas claiming to be dele gates would proba ply nHet the fate of their Louisiana colleagues Speaker Reed will not go home until after the con vention adjourns. but he may go to New

St. Louis, June 12.-When the commit tee resumed business there was a long discussion on motion by Delegate Ca- tron of New Mexico to the effect that six delegates, each with half votes, be placed on the roll for the territories of New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and the In- dian Territory. It was finally adopted. Then for two hours the committee lis- tened to the presentation of cases of the rival delegations from the state of Della ware. That headed by Ex-Senator An thony Higgins claimed to be the regular delegation and was instructed for Me- Kinley, while the six entered upon Sec retary Manley's records as contestants were headed by J. Edward Addicks, and Senator Quay was given by one of the number as their preference for the presi- dential nomination. Personalities were freely exchanged in the presentation of the respective cases between Ex-Senator Higgins, State Chairman Layton and MT. Addicks himself, but it was not until the parties in interest had retired that the storm broke forth. Then Senator Thurs ton, first gaining the floor, commenced an impassioned speech: He reviewed the

COTTAGES DAMAGED BY FIRE.
A High Wind Was Blowing, but Good Work
 Prevailed

A few minutes after o'clock yester- day afternoon a telephone alarm called the Northside fire department to Eff teenth street and Seventh avenue. AL most immediately thereafter box 32 was pulled. The wind was blowing hard from the north and it was feared for time that the flames, found in the roof of cottage on Seventh avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, would gain much headway, but good work held them in check and only the roofs of two cottages were burned and another slight ly damaged. The property was occu- pied. MT. Pettyjohn is the agent for same. The damage is estimated at s200

PLATT AND QUAY IN CLOSET.
The New York Boss Says Quay Will Stay
 With Morton

With Morton. St. Louis, June 12-Senator Quay was one of MT. Platt's callers this afternoon. The two were closeted for an hour. When Quay departed Platt remarked to a group of newspaper men: Senator Quay is in the fight with me to the end" Early this afternoon Platt received a dispatch, which he showed with much satisfaction to several callers in his room
 It read as follows:
 Albany N Y, June 12
 "To T. c. Platt, Southern Hotel, St. Louis:
 Five carloads of New York republi- cans are on their way to St. Louis for Morton and sound money. 'J. s. KENYON" This delegation will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and thus reinforced the fight to prevent the unseating of the Platt men in the New York delegation will actively begin.
 MT. Platt is quoted as saying that if the national committee. unseats his delegates he will carry the contests to the commit tee on credentials, and if their decision is unfavorabe it will be continued on the floor of the convention.
 The arrival this evening of MT. Corne- Illus Bliss and other New Workers gave rise to the belief that the New York con tests, which had been postponed pending their arrival would be taken up tomor- row. At midnight 1t was still question whether they would be reached tomorrow or go over till Monday.
 The Marquette club of St. Louis today received 0 reply from Governor Morton to an inquiry addressed to him as to whether in the event of his election to the presidency he would make any discrimi- nation against Roman Catholics. Governor Morton quotes the explicit declaration of his letter of acceptance when nominated for governor as to the equal rights of all citizens and address: q still adhere to the views therein ex- pressed, and can only add that if I were charged with the duty of administering the office of president I should endeavor to treat all classes of citizens without discriminat tion as to their religious be- lief"

Since the announcement few days since that MT. William M. Lindsay, the most expert stenographer in the state, would instruct limited number of pu- pills (male and female) in shorthand and typewriting and care of the typewriter, he has received letters from Mississippi and Tennessee and from various DOT tions of Alabama. Among these letters are three asking that MT. Lindsay select : the most efficient of the class for office purposes. This is really more than he expected, but they only show the con- fidence the people have in anything MT. Lindsay says about shorthand or type writing, as well as about typewriters.
 If there is any one who has not talked with MT. Lindsay about the three months course he proposes to give no time should be lost, for 1t is not every day you can get instruction in these lines from one having an experience of twenty years to draw from.

A "Free Coinage" Precede t

Lord Macauley, rec,ing the events of the
luckless administration" in Ireland OF
King James II, in 1859, says:
"The poverty of the treasury was the
necessary effect of the poverty of the coun-
try; public prosperity could be restored
only by the restoration of private prosper
ity; and private prosperity could be re-
stored only by years of peace and security.
James was absurd enough to ima2ine that
there was a more speedy and eftlcacious
remedy. He could, he conceived, at once
extricate himself from his financial diff
culties by the simple process of calling
farthing O shilling. The right of coming
was undoubtedly flower of the preroga-
tive; and. in his view, the right of coming
included the right of debasing the coin.
Pots, pans, knockers of doors, pieces OF ord

Jumps of base metal, nominally worth

edict declared these pieces to be legal

bag of counters made out OF Old kettles.

court of chancery, were told by Fitton to

that little influence and a little money
