We're ChriStencd by Three
Fair Sponsors Of This City
WITNESSED BY LARGE CROWD
The Wilmington, the Harrisburg
and the JOhnStOWn Are
Now AIlOat

Without a hitch the three steel tugs
built by the Harlan and HollingswOrth
Company for the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company were launched this
morning This is the first triple launch
ing from single ways that ever took
place in this country. and five minutes
after each other the tugs took their
initial plunge.
NO RAILROAD SPONSORS.
The railroad company provided no
sponsors for the crafts, but they were
sponsored by three Wilmington wo-
men.
The tug Wilmington left the ways
at 9.55, and as the stern Of the craft
touched the bosom of the Chrstiana
river Miss Elizabeth Candy, who pre-
sented an attractive picture standing
in the bow Of the gliding boat, shat
tered a bottle containing champagne
on the stern and called the little craft
the Wilmington.
Miss Helen Sparks attired In a gray
tailOr-made suit, christened the Harris
burg in the same manner.
The JohnstOwn was christened from
stand erected at its bow by Mrs. Il.
b. Sadltler. The boat rushed down the
300 feet OF creased ways gaining speed
as IL went, and when il struck the
water its headway submerged It above
the water line In the river, but it arose
at once, and was soon moOred along
side of its mates. which were floating
iauntily alongside OF the shipyard
wharves.
The tugs are each 100 feet long, ..
feet beam and - feet depth Of hold
They will have their machinery placeC
in them, and be finished in a shor
time.
When launched the tugs carried thl
American colors and the Pennsylvani;

TO KILL SEVERAL RULERS.
According to an Anarchist Nc
Kinley Was Slated to Be
Murdered

New York, Aug. 15-The italian news
paper Progresso Italo-Americano has
received letter postmarked New York
City, and signed &c. Luigi Alfiri, born
at Ancona, emigrated in 1897" The
writer declares that he was enlisted
by receit," in the Anarchist society at
Paterson, and being afraid to withdraw
learned of the plot to assassinate King
Humbert. He writes:
"On May of this year lots were cast
for the Infamous enterprise. The first
was Gaetano Brescis chance for the
assassination of the bemoaned king Of
Italy; the second one, Arturo Giovan-
nellis for the killing of President Nc
Kinley. Lots were also drawn to kit.
the emperor of Germany, emperor If
Austria, the President of France, Lou
bet"
The writer adds that on May Is he
notified the Italian Consul Branchi Of
the intention to kill King iiumbert,
and that he also notified the Federal
government that President Mckinley
was to be assassinated. He explains
that his conscience compels him to
write the truth of the matter.

M'ARTHUR DISAPpROYED
OF Col. Pettit's Acquittal, AL
though He Restored Him
to His Regiment.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Copies Of or
ders received at the war department
contain the acquittal Of Colonel James
s. Petit, Thirty-first : volunteer in
fantry, who was charged with being
responsible for the death Of a prisoner
named Juan Ramos by turning him
over to the president Of Zamboanga.
The findings Of the acquittal are dis
approved by General Macarthur, who
/, says that, notwithstanding the alleged
character Of the prisoner which tended
to reveal him as a guerilla or outlaw.
he was nevertheless entitled to pro-
lection and to have his guilt determin-
ed in the regular way by a war tribun-
al. Although the acquittal is disap-
proved, there was nothing further for
General Macarthur to do. and he re-
stored Colonel Petit to his regiment.

REPORTS OF Otis
Were DOctOred to Suit Admin
istratiOn, Declared Samuel
MOrss, OF Indiana.

New York, August 14,-A Paris cable
to the Journal says:
Samuel F. Morss, of Indiana, for
mer consul general here, sails for Amer
lea next week to help elect Bryan.
He said to the Journal correspondent
today:
There is general uprising against
the foreign policy Of the administration.
The policy of the old Roman Empire
can never be grated onto humane
people like that of the United States.
General Otis's official reports do not
tally with the facts in the Philippines.
They have been made to suit Mckinley
ism. If the United States is to ex-
pand, the expansion should be along
the line of the Monroe doctrine. We
want no captives tied to our chariot
wheels.
The situation in Puerto Rico indi-
Gates the utter breakdown of the policy
of the administration. Under Spanish
rule the Puerto Ricans were doing well
compared with their present condition
under the Mckinley rule. The Puerto
Ricans welcomed us as deliverers, but
now hate us as enslavors.
"The Imperialism, the syndicates and
the trusts which flourish under McKin-
ley could never live under Bryan"

their daily earnings, were without
bread and were suffering.
Mr.. Hunt promised that the govern
ment would do all In Its power to re-
lieve the situation. The delegation i'm
mediately retired, and the procession
left the city an hour after 1t had en-
tered and began the return journey.
The spokesman Of the deputation had
said that there was no expectation Of
gratuitous government assistance, but
merely desire for work. Ofiicial in
vestigation shows that the district in
question is very badly off, and that no
works of any sort have been in opera
ton there for some time. 1t is pointed
out that the conditions are partially
due to the old system Of government re-
lief supplies, which had a tendency to
pauperize the recipients and to lead
many to believe that the government
would indefinitely support the poor In
idleness.
