MONITORS IN THE ROADS.
Terrier, Ant,I,trlte and Puritan Anchored
OFF Old Point. .... ..u.


The United States monitor Amph-
trite, in company with the Yosemite,
arrived inside the Capes on Monday
night one week from Mole ST. Nicho-
las. The next morning at 3 o'clock the
Amphitrite steamed up and anchored
opposite the Hygea. ... @Na.uH .
The Terror came in the Roads at 2
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. having left
Mole St. Nicholas two weeks ago with
the Puritan and Montgomery.
This quick trip clearly demonstrates
that the report about the damage to
the machinery OF the Amphitrite had
very little foundation In fact. the in
jury consisted of an important bolt in
the machinery of one of the engines
giving way. and this injury was repair
ed within two hours While the monitor
steamed along propelled by one engine.
The monitor Puritan and cruiser
Montgomery arrived at Old Point
yesterday morning.
The auxiliary cruiser Yosemite left
Old Point last evening for League
Island. where the warship Will go out

When seen by a reporter for the
Ltally Press last night. Mr.. Walter A.
tos1, general manager of the shipyard,
stated that he had received the fore
going letter from the w. c. T. u, and
had forwarded it to Mr. c. b. Orcutt
the president of the company. AS yet
Ny. Post has received no reply from
PRESIDENT circuit. Mr. circuit has new
er expressed his views regarding the
the christening of ships with water.
The w. c. T. U. is making a deter
mined fight to have the Illinois baptised
with water, but it is not probable that
the ancient custom around which clus-
ter many sentiments will be disre-
garded in this instance
once While Mr. Sommers was general
manager of the shipyard here the w.
Z. L. U. requested him to use his good
ofhces to have a vessel chriStened with
water. and he replied: II am tenn
perance man, teetotaler. but I can
see no reason for abandoning the Gus
tom of christening a ship with wine.
It seems to me that that is a good way
to get rid of a bottle Of champagne"
A special received yesterday from
Chicago states that Mayor Carter
II. Harrison. of that city, has
accepted an invitation to attend the
ceremonies Of the launching and chris
tening the 'battleship Illinois at the
