audience of big and little people, last

people of the school acquitted them
selves in a manner which reflected the
greatest credit upon those taking part,
and showed the most pains-taking care
upon the part of their instructors.
Every number was meritorious. and
there was unstinted applause and the
most general appreciation. Z

WcKsBURG AND NEWPORT.
Offcial Trial of the New Boats will Occur
Within Two Weeks.

Bath, May 16.-The gunboats Newport
and Vioksburg which have just been
completed by the Bath Iron works, will
probably have their trial trips some time
within the next two weeks.
1t is thought that May 25th will be
about the time that the first boat which
will be the Newport, will be tried.
In the case of this vessel something of
an innovation will be made in order to de-
termine the capabilities of the gun boat.
Instead of the customary four hours run
over measured course of 25 or 80 miles,
the boat will be run over mile course
for number of times. She will then be
taken off the coast and run for four
hours. A comparison between the long
and short runs will then be made, and
the speed of the boat figured. As the con-
tract speed of the boat is 10 knots in
smooth water, it is likely that
the government will be slight loser by
this new arrangement. There is, how
ever, no premium for excess speed for
these two boats, SO the loss will not be
of a serious character.

steamer Arcadia Ashore.

St. Johns, N.F., May 16-The German
steamer Arcadia, laden with grain, and
bound from Montreal for Liverpool, went
ashore this morning near Cape Ray, on
the southern side of the Gulf of st. Law
renee in a dense fog. Her passengers
numbering 25, and the crew of 81, had a
desperate experience in trying to reach
land. Three men attempted to swim
through the surf with the life line, but
failed. The fourth, however, succeeded
and attached the hawser to the rocks in
a favorable position so that all were safe
ly landed after hard struggle. Neither
passengers nor crew saved anything. The
vessel is likely to become total wreck as
she lies on jagged rocks with big hole
in her bottom. A steamer will be sent for
the passengers.

IN THE HOUSE.

The House leaders have not yet decided
upon the methods by which they will
make their response to the President S
message, which will be sent to Congress
tomorrow or Tuesday, asking for re-
lief for the starving Americans in Cuba.
That the response will be quick and COM
plete, however, there is no reason to
doubt. Three methods of procedure are
open. Ordinarily the message would go
to the committee on foreign affairs and
that committee would report bill. The
Speaker could appoint this committee,
but it is hardly likely that he will.
The most likely course is that the House
will await the action Of the Senate if
action is had promptly and then consider
the Senate bill or joint resolution under
special order. The sentiment in favor
of the recognition of the Cuban insur-
gents is strong in the House and a very
radical measure might be passed if the
House were allowed free action.
The conference report on the Indian
bill will probably come before the House
this week.

THE DIRIGo MISSING.
Arthur sewall's Famous Iron Ship Is Over
Month Overdue.

San Francisco, May 16.-The Ameri-
can ship Dirigo, owned by Arthur Sewall
Of Maine and commanded by Capt.
Goodwin, is IS days overdue on her voy-
age around the Horn. She sailed from
New York 10 days ago, carrying crew
of 40 men.
On January 25th the Dirigo was spoken
off Cape Horn by the British ship Howth.
Signals were exchanged and the captain
Of the Howth determined to beat the
American ship into San Fran cisco if
possible. Two days later heavy gales
sprang up, lasting three days. The
Howth arrived in port on April 10, but
nothing has been heard of the Dirigo.
The Dirigo is the first four-masted steel
ship built in the United States. She is
of 1856 tons and was launched in 1894
There is some anxiety about the vessel
and in Liverpool yesterday reinsurance
at 20 per cent was quoted. 1t is possible
that the ship changed her course or that
she put into Port Stanley for repairs.

TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON.
The Monument at Philadelphia Dedicated
Saturday.

I Philadelphia, May 15.-At sunrise this
morning the boom of cannon from the
batteries of the United States troops
camped in Fairmount park, aroused the
city to the greatest day in it's history
The day broke under clear skies, and a
cool breeze famed the Stars and Stripes
| which fioated from hundreds of buildings.
| The decorations throughout the city were
lavish. Both the Hotel Walton, where the
President and several members of the
Cabinet were housed, and the Lafayette,
which entertained the Vice Presidential
party were literally swarthed in flags and
| bunting. The archways Of the vast City
hall were literally clothed in the tri-color,
and Chestnut street was a fluttering mass
of red, white and blue. Stands were
erected all along the line of march.
| The ceremonies proper began at noon
when the parade moved from Broad and
| Spruce streets, under command of Major
General Snowdon. The route was Broad
to Spring Garden and out of Spring Gar
den to the park, where it passed in review
before the President Meantime commit
tees from the State Society of the Cincin
natl visited the hotels to convey the Presi-
DENTAL parties to the monument over the
route taken by the troops.
| The actual unveiling ceremony was inn
pressively simple. Bishop Whitaker
opened with prayer, and Maj. VIM.
Wayne, president of the Cincinnati, who
presented the monument to the city, fol-
lowed with an appropriate address.
Then came the unveiling by President
| Mckinley and the resultant clamor, au-
gumented by the national salute of 21
guns by the artillery and by the foreign
and American war vessels in the Della
ware river. This concluded, President
Mckinley spoke briefly. The oration was
then delivered by William W. Porter. The
formal presentation of the memorial by
the society to the city was made by Major
| Wayne to Mayor Warwick, with short ad-
dresses by both and then the Mayor trans
1erred it to the Fairmount park commits
sion.
| PRESIDENT Mckinley and his dlstln-
gulshed companions reviewed the mill
tary parade, and the crowd, when not
looking at the troops, reviewed the Presl-
dent and his party.
Inc night will be devoted to various
phases OF celebration, apart from the din
ner' The home wheelmen's parade with
nearly 10000 in line will be the principal

hours and half to break the ice, while
the men who were prisoners in the mid
die of the ice-bound lake knew, as the
rescuers very well knew, that a slight
wind would smash the ice, and the men
would be crushed to death in the jam or
drowned. After long struggle, the men
were rescued.
Mr. Mahan was nearly exhausted, and
nearly frozen as well, before he was res
cued, for the weather was raw, and the
rain was pouring in torrents. The two
men left the island at 8 o'clock in the
morning, and did not reach Rangeley Vii
lage until 1 80.

NOSTLY CUBA This WEEK.
Question Will Occupy Attention Of

PASS WHEN VOTE COMES.
Alabama Senator Will Not Stand in Way of

Ac'IOn on Expected message by Presi-
dent-How House VIII Receive NJ essa ge.
Washington, May 16.-The proceedings
in the Senate this week are by no means
settled. All will depend upon the
course the Cuban question may take.
Senator Morgan's joint resolution occu-
pies the favored place on the calendar and
there is slight possibility that the ex
pected message of the President may
cause postponement. The Alabama sena-
tor will not stand in the way of action in
accordance with such recommenda-
tion as the President may make upon this
subject, but he will insist that it shall in
no wise interfere with his resolution
There is little Or no doubt that the Nor
gan resolution will pass when vote is
taken and the majority Efor it Twill
be greater for therecent delay.
If Cuba does not occupy the entire at
tention for the week, much of the time
is likely to given to the general calendar.
The sundry civil conference probably
will be postponed until Senator Allison S
return to the city. Senator Mallory, the
new Florida senator, will be inducted in
to Office early in the week Senator Al
drich will make the opening statement
in behalf of the tariff bill on the part
of the majority of the finance committee
on Tuesday, but it will rest with indi
vidual senators whether the debate shall
be continued beyond this speech at that
time. The probability is that the state
ment will produce some badinage and
| that after this the Senate will adjourn
until the following Monday, when the
debate will begin in earnest. Senator
Aldrich is expected to make quite an
elaborate presentation of the subject.
