absorbed his intellect. The south is
rapidly learning to idolize Lincoln as
the gentlest memory of the world. He
pointed out many tributes that had
been paid to Lincoln by southern men.
Hon. Jesse Overstreet said that it was
impossible in a short evening to pay
tribute to the character of Lincoln.
He spoke of the versatility and at the
same time the fertility of the American
character and of the frequent need in
our political life of strong hand to
grasp the helm when the ship of state
is near the breakers and steer her into
safety. Such a character was Lin
coins.
Rev. w. n. Ryder said Lincoln was
the most finished product of American
Institutions. He dwelt especially upon
that phase of Lincoln's character which
showed his deep and wide religion. He
counted God and Christ and the Holy
Ghost as few men have ever counted
them, and to that glorious trinity he
had added fourth--humanity-
was the moving. principle of his whole
life

ment with the government whereby the
government is guaranteed to receive
$45, 754 900 for its claim against said
company at a foreclosure sale which

representatives having deposited $780,
900 with the United States Trust COM
pany in the city of New York to In

now therefore, my orders of December

TOPEDO NO. 6 .ICCEPTED.
Secretary Herbert Valves Formalities aud
Puts Her Into Commission.


Washington, Feb. 12.-Secretary Her
bert this afternoon waived the usual
formalties which have hitherto invari-
ably made the acceptance of naval ves-
sells a tedious procedure and accepted
torpedo boat No. g. which is now enroll
ed on the naval lists, though tried but
two days ago.
This procedure. which usually con-
sumes months, was expedited in this
instance by the almost marvellous per-
formance of the little vessel, as de-
scrlbed by the members of the trial
board, who have returned to Washing
ton and who have made preliminary
report on the test, which is compli-
mentary in the highest terms. From
this it appears that the course over
which the runs We're made was intend
ed to be twelve nautical miles, but in
the opinion of the board is was slight
ly longer, measuring in excess of the
chart.
The best run was the first, which
consumed "a minutes 52.5 seconds, the
successive runs increasing in duration
125 minutes Is seconds, or at the rate of
2S.73 knots per hour. AT the commence
ment of the fifth run one of the blow
ers broke down, yet the run was made
at the rate of 2SA knots. The board
in it's preliminary report says:
"The boat is a remarkable product of
the highest skill in hull and engine de-
sign and workmanship. At her great
speed the vibration was very slight,
even over the screws, and there was no
evidence of that effort and strain ordi-
narily noticeable on full-power trials.
Only very slight wave was produced,
and the boat ran as well and with as
little disturbance of the water in six
teen feet as in ten fathoms-a phenom-
enon, which the board believes is con-
Trajectory to previous experience and
theory
The vessel is declared to be strong
enough for all her weights, and no fear
is expressed that the careful measure
ment of the course, the tidal computa-
tions and other complete figures will
change the belief that she can safely
exceed the contract requirements.
On these assurances Secretary Her.
bert ordered her prompt acceptance.

WAR IN rnE srEE1 RAI1 TRADE.
Reports Would Seem to Indicate That
HOstilities Arc Subsiding.

Philadelphia, Feb. 12.--Of1icials of the
Pennsylvania Steel company and the
Bethlehem Iron company, speaking of
the war of the rates in the steel rail
trade, this afternoon said there had
been change for the better to-day,
and that prizes were steadying in the
east and west. An understanding has
been reached between the Cambria,
Pa, and Bethlehem companies, it is
stated, and a friendly feeling exists.
1t was asserted that none of these
companies has sold below the $50 rate
on eastern business, but it was stated
that the Cambria company had met
the cut of the Carnegie and Illinois
Steel companies and accepted the west
ern orders on the basis of SIS in Chica-
go.
A special transaction was made to-
day at $3.50 per ton by the Bethlehem
company, for eastern delivery, but
Joseph Wharton, a director of the COM
pany, said that the 500 rate was being
maintained and that the sale referred
to was understood by the other COM
panies.
Asked whether there was a move
ment on foot looking to a reorganiza-
ton of the pool Mr.. Wharton said:
None that / know of. 1t may be that
the violators of the agreement will see
their mistake and want to patch mat
ters up again, but that is question
no one can answer. AT present millions
of dollars are simply being thrown
away, and this in itself will probably
bring matters to an early settlement"
Major Luther S. Bent of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel company said this after
noon that he thought the situation was
improving and SO far as he knew no
sales We're being made for the eastern
market below $40. The western steel
companies, he said, were not taking
orders in this section and in conse-
quence a steadier feeling prevailed.

IRON IND STEEL SCHEDULES.
The New Tariff Gradually Being Put Into

The New Tariff Gradually Being Put Into
Shape.
Washington, Feb. ia number of
ule occupied the attention to-day of
the republican members of the ways
and means committee. Nickel was left
on the free list, where it was placed in
the present law. Type metal, which is
now three-fourths of a cent per pound
for the lead contained therein, and new
types, which are rated at Is per cent.
ad valorem, have been restored to the
Mckinley rate of IL cents a pound and
rs per cent ad valorem respectively.
The existing rate was left ON zinc in
pigs at / cent a pound; zinc in sheets.
not polished nor further advanced than
rolled, IA cents a pound; old ZINC, lit
only for re-manufacture, " of a cent a
pound.
The basket clause, which includes
manufactured articles not specially
provided for in the present law, COM
posed wholly or in part of metal, and
whether partly or wholly manufactur-
ed, was changed from the existing
rate of 35 per cent ad valorem to the
Mckinley rate of As per cent. ad va
lorem This practically finishes the
work on the iron and steel schedule,
although certain items which were
passed over this week will receive con-
sideration later.
The paper schedule came up for con-
sideration at to-day's meeting and the
committee fixed the rates on mechani-
cally ground, chemical and bleached
wood pulp, which is now 10 per cent.
ad valorem, at one-twelfth, one-sixth
and one-fourth of cent pound re-
spectively. Printing paper suitable on
ly for books and newspapers, which is
now Is per cent. ad valorem, was re-
tanned at the present rate of duty.

BLOGKADE Ar CHARLESTON.
Cruiser yesuvius Made No Attempt to Rul
the Gauntlet.

Charleston, S. c., Feb 12-The bat
tleship Indiana and the dynamite cruis-
last night. Contrary to all expecta-
tions, the cruiser made no effort to
come into the harbor or to run the
blockade She came to anchor near
the other ships and is still lying there.
The Indiana had an uneventful trip
down the, coast.
The Newark and the Massachusetts
are hourly expected to join the fleet,
1t is now believed that the actual at
tempt to run the blockade will be post
poned until all of the fleet are here. 1t
was so rough and foggy outside last
night that little work could be done by
the ships, and so strong a sea is run
ming off the bar that the gun practice
of the fleet is being materially inter-
fered with.

Norwich, Feb. 12.-For some time
there has been dissatisfaction with the
street are light service furnished by
the Norwich Electric Light company,
many people being of the opinion that
the city was not getting the candle
power called for by the contract The
attention of Mayor Osgood was called
to the fact and in January with the
sanction of the police commissioners
and the corporation counsel, F. T..
Brown, gagged an electrical expert
from New York, who made series
of careful tests during the months of
January and part of February.
He tested both photometrically and
electrically and found that the maxi
mum candle power was less than 500
or about one-hals of the contract
amount. The minimum was about two
hundred and the average not much
over 400. The company have been con-
fronted with the figures and say that
they cannot explain it and supposed the
city was receiving the full amount con-
tracted for.

IMPORTANT CIPTURE.
charles Youag Arrested for Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses-He Told
Pltifui Story of Poverty and Injury
Had $40 When Are sted-His Real Name
George S. Clark.


PROMINENT business men on Chapel
and Church streets have again fallen
victims to the schemes of man whom
the police say has all the paraphernalia
and outfit of a clever swindler. The al
legged law breaker this time came to
New Haven in the guise of a railroad
man who has lost his right arm in an
accident. When arrested yesterday af-
ternoon by Patrolman Henry j. Dom
nelly, who worked the case up from a
tip given him a day or two ago. the
fellow was plying his trade at jewelry
store Of G. j. Monson & Co. on Chapel
street. At the police station he gave
his name as Charles Young, and said
that he formerly worked on one of the
western railroads. He would not give
his residence. When Young was
searched letters were found which led
TO the discovery that his name was
George S. Clark of Chilicothe, 0. 1t
was found by searching that Young or
Clark was stopping at the Hotel Garde,
where he was registered as Clark.
The officers took to the police station
two large handbags which contained
letters written to Clark from Chilli
cothe to different cities. Some of these
refer to collections of rents, which
would indicate that Clark had some
property interest in Ohio. There was
also list of the cities in Pennsylvania
New York and New England, among
them Boston, Worcester Pittsfield,
Springfield, Providence, Hartford,
Bridgeport, Danbury and Waterbury
Some of these were checked, which
gives rise to the theory that many of
the@cities had been worked by the ac-
cused.
Clark carries with him a set of
stamps and letters purporting to be
from prominent men who have re-
sponded to his solicitations He tells
his intended victims that he is striving
to get money enough together to pur-
chase a hand to take the place. of the
one lost in a railroad accident.
When arrested Clark had about SIC
on his person Among the firms from
whom he obtained money are Wells &
Gunde, e. R. Smith, Paul Roessler
Even Mcintyre, Crawford Shoe Co.
