Rear Admiral Louis Kcmp1f, who
landed the United States marines at
Picking, was appointed to the naval
academy on September 21, 1851, and
since that time has passed through
many varied experiences" says the
New Fork Tribune. admiral kcmptf
was With tho steam frigatc Wabash in
1861. assisting in the blockade of the
South atlantic coast. The same year
he fought at Port Royal, and the
following spring landed a howitzer
from the Wabash and assisted in the
capture Of Fcrnandina and Jackson
willie. For this he WAS commissioned a
lieutenant. His lieutenant command
ership came to him in 1866, after
which time he passed to Pacific coast
duty. For three years 1877 to 1850
he was in charge of the navy yard at
Mare island. after which he took com
mand of the Adams for three years,
and then returned to Mare island. In
December, 1898, Secretary Long de

commander of tho naval station at far
away Guam, but prior to his taking
charge more important work was cut
out for him in the orient, and he now
finds himself the commanding naval
officer at Pcking."

OREGON Runs ON A REEF
The Famous American BattIeship
Beached on the Way to Che
foo--May Be Lost.

Washington, July s.-The navy. de.
partment has received cablegram
from Captain Wilde, of the Oregon,
dated Chefoo. yesterday, confirming
the report that his ship was aground
fifty miles from Taku. The Iris and
another relief ship are now with the
Oregon. Wilde's message follows:
"Chefoo-Anchored yesterday in a
dense fog, in seventeen fathoms three
miles south of Howke light, Gulf of
Pechili. Sent out two boats and
sounded water 51-2 fathoms. Wealth
er cleared, got under way and struck
Pinnacle rock. Much water in for
ward compartment. Perfectly smooth.
Shall charter steamer If possible, at
Chefoo to tighten ship. Rock through
the side of the ship above double bot
tom, about frame No. 10. Small holes
also through bottom of the ship"
The point where the Oregon is
grounded is fifty miles west north
west of Chefoo and $50 miles east of
TalSu. Pinnacle rock is about twenty
five feet high encircled by a shoal and
should not be approached nearer than
three cables. There Is strong cur
rent always prevalent in the vicinity.
This fact, together with the dense fog
that prevailed at the time greatly en-
HANGED the danger'in navigating the
Oregon. Official naval photographers
say there is great rise and fall of
the tide and it is possible the Oregon
will be lifted off in this way. Cap.
tain Wilde's statement of the injuries
sustained is scarcely sufficient to en-
able naval constructors here to form
a definite opinion as to the prospects
of saving the ship, but it is probable
that she can be saved il the weather
does not become rough. Unfortunate
fly this is the season of storms in the
Chinese waters

China Playing a Double Game.
London, July 3.-Uncertainty re-
mains the keynote of the situation in
China. Well informed quarters con-
tinue to believe the legations are still
at Picking, but authentic information
is lacking. Dispatches tend to create
the impression that the Chinese au-.
thorities are playing a double game,
simultaneously sending secret orders
to the viceroys to disobey commands
to suppress outbreaks and promul-
eating public edicts against the Box
ers. Shanghai notes Increasing signs
of general spread of the rebellion
in the southern provinces, but the To-
cal feeling of alarm is subsiling. That
city also reports that n serious rising

which causes a vast deal of trouble

system of reckoning time. A Turk
holds that the day begins exactly at
sunset: at that time he sets his clocks
and watches at the hour of 12. AS the
sun has the same habits in presiding
over Turkey that he exercises with re-
