Interesting Rites of the Greek
Church Were Carried Ont.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov 5.-The
launching of the Russian cruiser Variag
in Philadelphia on Tuesday was an inter
esting ceremony. It was the first time a
ship has been launched in this country
according to the peculiar rites of the Greek
Church
The Russians name their vessels when
sending them into the water for the first
time and the form is the same whether
a warship or other type of vessel is
launched. Where it is possible the service
is conducted by the Bishop In his alb
sence the next highest dignitaries have
charge. The ceremony at the launching Of
the Nariag was conducted by the Rev. A.
A. HOtovitsky and the Rev. T. Zotkoff
pTelates of the Greek Church in this city
A simple altar covered with a white
cloth, had been erected. The only other
accessories were a jar of water and a
golden cross carried by the priest. The
latter. after blessing the water, began to
chant the fftieth psalm in which forgive
ness for sin is asked.
A passage from the Apostles was next
read. and the 'Halleluiah" followed. A
prayer for the orthodox of all churches and
an invocation for the spirit to bless the
water was recited. followed by other pray
ers for the ayerting of evil. Then the
priest read from the Book Of John and
dipped the cross in the water
Here the actual naming of the ship was
begun, the priest passing from one point
to another sprinklins the holy water. After
this ceremony was finished all kissed the
cross and the service was ended

PITTSBURG, Nov. 5.-Judge ]. II. Moore
of Chicago. father of the Tin Plate, Ma
tional Steel, Steel Hoop, and other indus
trial combinations of recent growth, is
credited by Pittsburg manufacturers with
being authority for the statement that
Andrew Carnegie received 81 coo, 600 in cash
for an option on his interests in the iron
and steel concern bearing his name Four
men. two of whom were Judge Moore and
Henry c. Frick. OF the Carnegie concern,
put up $3.50, 600 each in cash to bind the
option secured from Mr. Carnegie on his
interests. A time limit was specified, and
it has passed.
The failure of the scheme to effect a re-
organization Of the iron. steel, coke, and
ore concerns, as well as the transportation
lines in which the Carnegie and Frick in
teTests are predominant, occurred last sum-
mer. 1t was supposed 10 form a giant cor

would purchase the entire holdings Of the
various concerns connected with the Carue-

taken out in both New Jersey and Penn
sylvania for the proposed corporation, but
after some months Of dickering the negU-
tiations were discontinued
1t is stated in trustworthy quarters here
that the reorganization Of the Carnegie
concern and the change in its character
from limited partnership TO a corporation
is to be undertaken shortly, but that the
original scheme to buy out Mr. Carnegie
is to be abandoned. The present limited
partnership agreement expires at the end

Line steamship St Paul The general has
been away since last May, when he went
abroad to act as counsel for Venezuela, in
her boundary line dispute with Great Brit
ain For two years General Harrison has
been acting as VenezueIas counsel, and
he said today that he was greatly fatigued
and needed a long rest. For the next
two or three months, he added, he intends
to take it easy. When asked if the decision
Of the arbitration tribunal was satisfactory
to Venezuela General Harrison replied:
We'll, hardly that; it was a compromise
on both sides"
Speaking of mis- meeting with the German
Emperor the general said he had a pleas
ant ten-minutes' talk with the Kaiser,
whom he found to be kind and gracious.
When asked the subject of the conversation
the general remarked laughingly Il
might say TO you what [ said to a reporter

Dr. William K Newton was asked today
whether there was any chance of the re-

judge from the history of similar cases,
he replied, Many have had the same
trouble, but there is no record Of a recov-
cry. Mr.. Hobart may, however, linger in
his present condition for days and perhaps
weeks"
Mr.. Hobart usually talks Cheerful Iy
when awake, although fully aware OF the
meagreness of his chance for recovery. No
one bat his wife, nurses, and doctors IS
permitted to see him. This is because the
appearance of others seems to bring back
to him the affairs in which he has playeI
so important a part and he invariably
wants to be informed as to their progress

visable in his present condition. Among

Evidences seem strong that a general con

calculated to be useful in checking the
British forces now on the way from Eng

tions so successfully conducted in Natal,
Sir Redvers Butler viii have a tedious and
sanguinary time of it before he can strike
the heart of the hostile country and pay
back some of the obligations incurred at
Dundee and Ladysmith.
Not the least ominous of the late devel-
opments is contained in the information
that the Beers are raidng Zululand and
hosting their flag over the British magis-
tracies. The obvious object of this move
ment is to impress the natives with the
idea that the British have been defeated
and their power destroyed. as means Of
inducing them 10 take the warpath against
the Natal colonists; especially to join the
Transvaal forces in movements against
Pietermaritzburg and Durham. The latter
is comparatively safe. under the guns of
British war vessels, but the capital Of the
colony, already menaced from the northern
border, is by no means free from the dan
ger of attack.
What the attitude of the Zulu chiefs may
be at this time we have no means of know
ing. Two weeks ago they were anxious to
fight the Beers. who had been stealing their
cattle. But belief that the British were
getting the worst of the war might make a
difference and incline them to take what
they thought the winning side. We are
equally at sea in respect of the situation
among the other native tribes. The Ba-
sutos. presumably, are friendly to England.
The Bechuanas, Mashonas, Swazis, and
Matabele are unknown quantities. We can
only note with some apprehension that Of
fetal statements in London for many days
