THE INCIDENTS on AM AFTERNo(

THE INCIDENTS OF AN AFTERNOON.
At high noon some sort of decision
seemed to have been reached, as York
came aft with flag of truce and asked
to speak to the captain. When told to
go ahead, he said:
Captain, we have given you plenty
Of time to consider our offer, and have
come for your answer. You can have
the boats all fitted out, and the doctor
and Roberts shall 60 with you. We are
bound to have this ship and carry her
where we will, and IL you refuse our
offer tho results be upon your own
head.
''Harkee, you bloody traitor and vii
lainl' shouted the captain in reply.
I'VE not only refuse your offer, but are
ready for what may come"

THE TRIPLE SCREW,
Naval Engineers Pleased With Ger
mnny's Compliment.


Naval engineers are very much pleased
at the compliment paid their judgment by
the German government in adopting the
American idea of the triple screw for ships
CT war. There was considerable opposition
TO the use of this system in the American
navy when originally suggested by En-
gineer-m-Chief Melville. The success of
the triple screw attained by the Columbia
and her sister ship the Minneapolis, the
fastest cruiser in the world, and the visit
of the Columbia to kiel, on the occasion of
the opening Of the North German canal
brought the matter to the serious attention
OF the German authorities, with the result
that that government has ordered two bat
tie ships and five cruisers of It's navy equip
ped with triple propellers. According to in
formation just received at the Navy De-
partment, the larger ships have a horse
power of $1,000, the first-class cruisers 49,
500 and the second-claSS cruisers 1900. The
battle ships have q displacement of II 600
the tirSt-class cruisers displacement of
10000 and the second-class cruisers a dis
placement Of 5000. This government may
properly claim the credit of first applying
practically the triple-screw idea to war
ships. and it's adoption by the German gov
ernment is accepted as an Endorsement of
the skill and ingenuity Of American naval
officers.

Ex-District Commissioner Myron NJ.
Parker reached Washington this morning
from most enjoyable salmon-kiling trip
to Canada, which he took in company with
Senator Proctor of Vermont, and was look
ing rugged and hearty when a Star re-
porter met him this morning and conyrat-
ulated him and the republicans of the Dis

national committee.
Il was so far away from civilization, and
SO much occupied killing salmon" said Mr.
Parker. that have lost sight of the nation
al committee business. OF course, the ap-
pointment is very gratifying to me, and the
more SO because 1T comes from the national
committee itself. I have been fully ad-
viSed of the character and kind Of abuse
that was poured in on me. Some of it was
very laughable,- and it all served to
strengthen my case.
Il have been spending some time recently
In Vermont and Maine," he continued
and think both states will give increased
republican majorities this fall. oh, yes
silver is talked about, but very few believe
In It, The people seem to think that this
question will adjust itself at the proper
time, and a great majority Of them look
for revival of business under Mckinley
for they do not forget that good times have
always been associated with republican ad-
miniStra tons"
Mr. Parker said he expected to be in
Washington for a week or so, when he
would go to New York and take an active
part in the campaign.

Metropolitan Club,

Judge Hagner this afternoon decided

gentleman and club member. it being al
legged that he was the author of defama-
tory stories respecting a daughter of one
of the club members.
The club claims that he was given an op-
portunity to answer the charge and that he
declined to do SO. The prince also stated
to the court today that he can prove by q
dozen or more witnesses that he is limo.
cent
The judge. in disposing of the matter to-
day, held that Prince Yturbide is entitled
to trial of the issues of fact before a
jury, and gave each side until rule day in
September to make up those issues eX.
planning that they can not be tried before

no jury trials until then.

ters of the committee In the Shoreham Ho-

said Secretary Mercer, in answer to the
question of a Star reporter as to the situa-
ton in that state. II believe it will be a
hard fight, owing to the fact that the dem
ocratic nominee Is from Nebraska, but the
republicans will win. We will have a safe
majority"
How about Kansas?'
Il did not go into Kansas while away,
but 1 should say that 1t would be hard to
predict the result In that state. Kansas Is
an uncertain state. The republicans, how
ever, will probably carry the state
Will Fuse on Congressmen.
In answer to further questions, Secre-
tary Mercer said ne supposed the populists
and democrats would fuse on Congressman
In Nebraska; that is, unless the populists
want the lions share. as is generally the
Congress in Kansas stand on the St. Louis
platform, and they expect a hard battle
with the silver candidates. The sixth dis
trict is the only district of the state now
represented In Congress by populiSt.
Representative KEN is the populist who
has the honor of serving from the sixth.
He was elected by about 1000 majority.
Mr.. KEN is going to make his home in Col
orado. and did not stand for the pOpuliSt
nomination this year. A. E. Cady of St.
Paul has been nominated by the republi-
cans, and 1t iS said that the populistS will
probably nominate Judge Green of Carney.
He is a district judge, and one of the ablest
populists in the state. The populists have
not made nominations in the other dis
trictS.
Demand for Literature.
At congressional quarters it is stated that
the demand for campaign literature is on
the increase. This morning there was a
letter from a Kansas politician who asks
that the speeches of Representative Cleary
of Minnesota be sent broadcast over his
district. He says the district has been
plastered with silver literature and must
be off:et.' Mr.. Clearys speech Is in an
swer to that of Representative Towne,
ton as a silver document. Thousands of
the speech have been printed, and there
will be enough to supply the demand.
At. Democratic Headquarters.

Gardner received number of callers but
none Of them of national prominence.
Every member of Mr.. Gardner's force is
kept busy answering the demands for liter
ature and attending to the other business
which comes before the committee.

Modesty of the New Woman.

The new woman tells us that the pres
ent century is her own; and, indeed, she
approaches the truth in this instance. She
has promised us a stWoman's Bible" and
she has shown that even the Infinite
Father does not escape her jealousy, for
she has discovered that we should pray TO
Heavenly Mother as well as a
Heavenly Father. She informs US that
the Pilgrim Fathers are no more, and adds,
There stepped on Plymouth Rock, on the
bleak shores of New England. thirty two
women accompanied by sixty nine men
and children" At expositions she must
have 'woman's building" wherein she
may, glorify the work of her brain and
hand No work done by man can be
placed beside hers for examination or
competition. Surely she furnishes note
worthy example of modesty and self
abnegation for the benefit of the tyrant
man Mrs. Frank H. Winston in the
