QUEEN yIcToRIA's TRIP
To the South ofFrancc Postponed on
Account of Storms

Account OF Storms.
r LONDON, March 9.-The queen has
postponed her departure TO the south
OF France until Saturday next, in con-
sequence Of the storm In the channel.
The postponemcnt of her majesty's de-
parture Is 4 striking illustration OF the
extreme care and OF the protection with
which she Is surrounded. and the en-
ormous amount of machinery which Is
necessary when she travels. Instead
OF going in her own yacht to Cher
bourg. as usual. she decided to avoid
the long sen trip, and go from Folkes-
tone to Boulogne-Sur-Mer In q special
passenger boat. which has been entirely
changed for Its eighty minutes trip.
All sorts OF staging and platforms had
been erected ut Folkestone where Rear
Admiral John Fullerton, aide-de-camp
OF the queen, who has been In COM
mand of the royal yachts. Victoria and
Albert, Since 1884, and the best court
officials have been experimenting the
arrangements. Two trial trips have
already been made and everything was
In readiness for to-day.
At Boulogne-Sur-Mer. In addition to
a large force Of gendarmes and custom
house officials, two battalons OF infan-
try were IN readiness while the entire
railroad line to Nice was guarded by
soldiers posted at intervals, supple
menting the usual force Of railroad
employees detailed for duty In such en-
ergenclcs. The French government is
taking unusual precautions, on account
of the supposed hostility Of n portion of
the people to the queen. All these ar
ransements in France were upset by
q dispatch from Rear Admiral Fuller
ton. postponlng the journey on account
Of the weather prevailing in the chan
mel, classed rs Storm" whereas only
a moderate sea was running.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Wheeling club yesterday morn
ing received the signed contract OF
ThIrd-baseman BILLY" Niles, and last
night nights mail brought the signed
contract OF Flrst-baseman Dummy"
kim. Both players expressed their
satisfaction In becoming members Of
Wheellns's team. kim. In particular,
was pleased to get away from New Cas-
tie, which he calls "a dead town."
Freddy" GIlligan, the local ball play
err who played In the Southern league
last season, saw President Howell yes
terday afternoon, and took occasion TO
tell him that he had secured two very
fast players In Short-stop Bammert
and Meyers. GllliSan was especially
enthusiastic In praislng Bammcrt's
work. He also spoke highly OF Catcher
Hunt, and says the local management
got one OF the best catchers In the coun-
Try In the Michigan lad.
Pop" Lytle and Glenalvin were on
the Portland (Ore.) team OF 1891. As a
side issue they had the score card and
cushion privileges. and out of the latter
they managed to pull many frlslty
nickel. Here Is Lytles way OF telling
about it: You see the grad stand and
bleachcr seats were OF Oregon pine;
when the suns rays came down good
and strong the pitch would come out
and make them anything but inviting
seats. The result was n tremendous
demand for cushions. and very soon we
had 10 get 400 more. 1t was gold mine
for us all through the season"
The demand for season books con-
'tnues fairly heavy, but the club has
considerable part OF the 100 1t desires
20 place with the patrons of the game,
and 1t Is hoped the fans will come to the
front and take the remaining books.
The conditions are very liberal. making
1t possible for the holder to use the
ticket for himself and friends.
Manager TRULY has about completed
the personnel for the Youngstown In
ter-State League club for the COM
Ing season. which he announces us fol-
lows: Catchers:, frost and Donovan:
first base CANCEL second base; TRULY;
third base. Bender, short stop, Berte;
left field. Van Buren,; mide field. Con-
nors; right field, McCredie: pitchers,
Smith. Mcfarland, Roach. Heymun and
HerDerger.
The following players have signed
contracts with the Wheeling club:
Niles, kim. Poole, Crabill. Durrett.
Donovan. Those who have accepted the
clubs terms. which amounts to the
same thing as signed contract, are
Kane, Hunt. Bammcrt, Meyers. Those
yet out of the fold. but under reserve.
are Woodlock, Maizena, Dobbs, DOlan
and Wells. OF course, this leaves
'Pon' Lytle out of consideration. and
1t is hardly necessary for him TO sign.
Jesse Burliett, the Cleveland great
siicker. arrived in Wheeling yesterday
on brief visit to his parents. He is
under the Cleveland reserve, and stated
that he would know by the middle Of
next week whether he is 10 wear
Cleveland or st. Louis uniform this

on the Delaware River at
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Sept. 9.-The thirty.
third encGmpment of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, which began here last
Monday, came to an end Friday alter
noon when a naval review was held on
the Delaware river. The ships re-
viewed were those of the North Allan
TIC squadron, composed Of the flagship
New York, cruiser Brooklyn, battle
ships Indiana, Massachusetts, and Tex
as. 1t was the greatest of the three
naval reviews that has been held on the
Delaware within year. The weather
was perfect, the number of boats in
line was very large and the cro Gds that
lined both the Pennsylvania and New
Jersey shores on the river far outnum-
bered those that have witnessed the
previous reviews.
The official reviewing party was COM
posed of Gov Stone and staff, of Penn
sylvania; Mayor Ashbridge, of this
city; Capt. James H. Sands, United
States navy; Senator Penrose, James
Latta and Maj. Richard S. Collum, of the
&. A. K.
Promptly at two o'clock the flagship
McCauley, with CNmmcdore Josiah r.
Adams, gave the signal for the start
and the vessels got into line. Follow
ing the flagship came the revenue cut
ter with the reviewing party aboard.
Then came the revenue cutters Gresh-
am, Algonquin, Manning and Onon-
daga. These were followed by light
house tenders, private yachts, steam
boats with G. "A. r. delegates aboard
and a great line Of excursion boats, in
all over 100 vessels. The journey OF
the vessels up the river to the squad
ron, distance Of seven miles, was a
continuous ovation. When the head OF
the parade came abreast of the New
York the latter fired the governors sa.
lutte and the Window returned the sa.
Lutte of the admiral. The other war.
ships also salutd the governor. In the
vicinity of the squadron the wharves
and buildings were crowded with peo-
pie, and when the parade was passing
the fighting ships a deafening noise
was made. Every steam vessel on the
river let loose its whistle, as did also
all the factories along the shores.
After the review was over Gov. Stone
and his staff were taken on board the
New York, where Admiral Sampson ten
tered them an informal reception.
Camp James A. Sexton, in Fairmont
park, in which nearly 10000 veterans
had been sheltered during the encamp-
ment, came to an end at four o'clock
Friday afternoon.

MUCH LOSS OF LIFE.
1t Is Feared Tint Many Have Per-
ished Through Recent Violent
storms on Eastern Coast.

Charlottetown, z. L. l., Sept. 0.-Re-
ports which have been received here
from ports throughout the province and
from the north indicate that the heavy
gale of Wednesday night was very dis
astrous to fishing and coasting craft.
The storm appears to have been the
most severe on the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
from Cape Breton to Quebec. 1t is be-
lieved that at least a dozen lives, were
lost. Hundreds of fishing boats along
the island coast and northern New
Brunswick were smashed to pieces, and
in several cases The occupants were
drowned. Three bodies have come
ashore near South Kildare. In all, eight
or nine men were lost at that point.

A FATAL PLUNGE.
Railing of brooklyn Bridge and
Leaps to His Death.

New York, Sept. 1l.-Midway between
the two great towers of the BROOKLYN
bridge Sunday morning a man whose
name no one knows climbed over the
railing and went to his death in the
East river, He turned over and over as
he fell, according to eyewitnesses whom
the police found, and struck upon his
back. The body sank, but reappeared
and was visible for short time as the
flood tide carried it up the river. The
bridge police have the mans hat, coat
and shoes, all telling of extreme pow
erty, none of which furnish the slight
est clew to his identity.
