NOTHING IN 1T, SAYS LONG.
The Order to the Philadelphia to Go
TO Hawaii of No Consequence.

Washington, April 3.-Secretary Long
is authority for the statement that the
orders OF the flagship Philadelphia to
proceed to Honolulu, have no signih-
canoe.
It is said at the state department that
the movement has not been requested
by it, as would have been the case had
the theatened trouble between the Jap
anese and the Hawaiian government
entered into the calculations of the ma
Wy department.
The Philadelphia is to relieve the
Marion, which arrived on the station
relieving the Alert, about two weeks
ago. The reason for the change is said
to be a belief on the part of the secre-
tary of the navy that from the i'm
portance of Honolulu commercially and
otherwise, the United States should
have a ship of higher class than the
Marion stationed there.
The Philadelphia, while a modern
and powerful cruiser, is sadly out of
condition in many respects and it was
the intention of the department just as
soon as the repairs to the Baltimore
were completed, to use her to replace
the Philadelphia as flag ship of the
Pacific station, and to put the latter
craft out of commission and thorough
" renovate her. AS for the Marion, it
is conjectured that she may be sent
onward to Samoa to show the United
States flag in that quarter of the globe
for the first time in four years.

SANK CHATTAHOOCHE.
a Drift Log Strikes the Hull of
Steamer With Disastrous Results.

Steamer With Disastrous Results
Atlanta, Ga, April "a special to the
Journal says:
The steamship Griggs of the indie
pendent line sank in the Chattahooche
river at midnight last night near Co
lumbia, Ga.
Five persons are reported lost. The
accident was caused by a drift log
striking the hull of the steamer. An
effort to drive the boat ashore failed,
the water coming in so rapidly through
the hole in her side that she sank in a
few minutes.
The list of the drowned is not yet
complete. Engineer Waterbury, negro
boat hand and lady passenger are re-
ported to have persisted. Randolph Rus-
sell, son of Congressman Benjamin
Russell, of Rainbridge, was on the boat
but escaped by swimming ashore.
This is the second large steamer that
has sunk in the Chattahooche this
week
The steamer City of Columbus one of
the largest boats on the river, sank in
30 feet of water at Smiths Point, near
Columbia, Ala, just before daylight on
Wednesday morning. The smokestackS
had been lowered for the boat to pass
under a. bridge when the light from the
furnaces blinded the pilot, who acciden-
tally steered the boat upon a rock.
The passengers, who were all asleep,
were hastily awakened and took to the
boats just in time to be saved. The
steamer and cargo, consisting chiefly of
flour, are a loss. The property loss is
about $50, 900. The Columbus piled be-

Several branches were secretly or
gained and the order is strictly oath

Pa, and was Incorporated under the
laws of New Jersey as the Agricultural
National Protective association. The
supreme body is made up of one repre-
sentative from each state, whose du-

Each state has a subordinate board of
directors consisting of one represent

Lafayette md. April 8.-The Blanc
