following: Accept hearty cOngratula-

Hearty congratulations on your

flashed over the wire by John r. De-

Washington. This message came from
Rev. George Edward Reed, ID. D., the
brilliant president of Dickinson coll

gratulations to you and Mrs. Connell"
Many other messages Of a similar
nature came during the day either in
written or verbal form to remind Mr.
Connell that his reelection is much ap-
preciated by his friends.
The exceptionally light vote of Tues
day caused probably more discussion
than any other one phase of the cleo
tlon and many reasons were yesterday
assigned for it. one was that many
persons feared If they voted they
would be dragged before the courts
again In an election contest.
Another was that not a few Republi-
cans and Democrats became disgusted

London, April 27.-The irish members
of Parliament do not like Mr.. Arthur
Balfours evasive replies when question:
ed in regard to the detention at Kings
town of the mail steamer Ireland, re-
ported to have been purchased by the
American Government. DIR. O'Callaghan,
secretary Of the City OF Dublin Packet
Company, denies Mr. Balfours statement
that the negotiations for her purchase
had fallen through, and said that the
contract failed merely because the Brit
ish authorities detained the steamer. The
government. according to Mr.. Bafour
has no right to detain a boat if her
owners want to risk a trip across the
ocean, but the sale cannot be concluded
on this side.

LINERS AWAIT ORDERS.
St Louis and Harvard Ready to Go
Into Battle.

New York. April 21.-Both the st. Louis
and the Harvard, the American liners
which were recently added to the Navy,
left their pier yesterday and anchored off
Tompkinsville. S. l., to await orders. The
St Louis left the American line pier at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning, and the
Harvard backed out into the stream at
$50 O. clock last evening. Each had been
equipped with an armament of four rapid
fire six-pounders. Their bunkers and
holds are filed with coal, and they have
been stocked with provisions sufficient for
a cruise of several months.
The vessels will be sent on scouting
duty, and later may be used as trans
ports. Their commanders decline to say
anything about the probable destination
of the vessels. Both of them will receive
additional men. who will be sent down to
the man-of-War anchorage on Govern
ment tugs. More coal passers will be
sent to fill the places of the few who fail
ed to appear when the crews were mus
tered. More marines will also be sent to
the vessels
The St Louis took on coal until within
ten minutes of the time she left her pier.
The Harvard saluted her with a dip of
the ensign as she backed into the stream.
Crowds had gathered along the water
front and at the adjoining pier of the
Red Star line. They waved their hand
kerchefs and diminutive flags, and sent
up a rousing cheer the vessel slipped
out from the south side of the American
line pier.
Capt Goodrich the new commander,
stood upon the bridge. BY his side was
Capt. Randle. the former commander of
the vessel who will act as navigating
officer. He was asked to go on account
of his skill in handling large liners and
on account of his special knowledge of
the machinery of the st. Louis.
All the guns with which the st. Louis
had been armed had been taken aboard
secretly There was also a large guam
tity of ammunition for both rapid-tire
guns and small arms The crew of the
vessel, exclusive of the AZ marines, con-
sisted of 275 men. They had been mus
tered by the deputy United States ship
ping commissioners shortly before the St
Louis left the pier. The new auxiliary
| cruiser steamed slowly down the bay, sa-
luted by all manner of craft. and anchor

the morning. Men had been working all
night slowing the coal in her bunkers
and holds She had 5000 tons aboard
when the coaling was completed. The
crew, which was the same size as that
of the st. Louis, was mustered at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon by Deputy
United States Shipping Commissioner
Harvey. Some of the coal passers were
missing. They will be replaced by 9TH
ers, who will be sent down in a tug
Tripods for four rapid-fire guns had
been placed fore and aft on the Harvard
Monday night The guns were hoisted
on board and will be placed in position
today. They can carry three miles and
do effective work in destroying torpedo
boats or halting Spanish merchant ves-
sells.
The Harvard also took on board 1O9
cases of arrnor-piercing shells, II boxes of
cartridges each As Springfield rifles,
shields for the rapid-fire guns and four
search lights.
Among those who joined this auxiliary
cruiser were many of the stewards, who
are Englismen. They will receive liberal
wages and a bonus of 80 per cent for good
behavior. The youngest recruit who has
yet entered the service of the United
States is Charles Meill, fifteen years old,
a cabin boy on the Harvard. He loks
scarcely more than ten years old. He
says that he has no fear of Spain and is
glad to serve the United States.
Then there was the barber, an Italian,
who came aboard in a long froek coat.
His mustaches were we'll waxed and his
hair rose from his head in Iuxurient curls.
He was enlisted at the princely salary of
% cents a month with contingent fees.
He said that he had earned two months
salary before the Harvard departed.
Gang planks were taken in at s o'clock.
The navy yard tug Narkeeta came along
side, and several packages of nautical
instruments were hoisted on board. A
fireman who had tarried too long over the
ale which is mixed, was hauled down
the pier and hauled on board by strong
armed marines.

American Flag to Fly When thI

general that the flag will be hoisted as
