WASHINGTON. June 2O.-The Navy De-
partment has taken cognizance or the
action of the commander of the battlesnip
Massachusetts in going through Hell Gate
to-day on his way from New York TO New
buryport. This course is regarded as sx-
tremely dangerous for n ship Of the di-
mensions of the Massachusetts, and Sec
retary Long issued a stringent order to-
night that hereafter no battleship shall go
through He'll Gate except under conditions
of exceptional emergency.
NEW YORK. June 2O.-Without the as
sistance OF a pilot and TO demonstrate
that a frst-class battleship could be navi-
gated through He'll Gate successfully, Capt
Henry NJ. Nanny took the big battleship
Massachusetts through the Narrows to-
day. 1t was the first time in the history
OF the navy that a war vessel of this class
ever attempted the feat and the river
craft and shores were black with specta-
tors. The successful passage of the ship
through the dangerous waters of He'll Gate
proves that in case OF hostilities with
foreign power a battleship Of the same
draught as the Massachusetts, If she passed
the fortifcations at Willets Point and Fort
Schuyler. could repeaU the performance
Of the Massachusetts.

CLEVELAND, o.. June 20.-Contrary to

this year it is the same. 1t will have great

CATION.
1T is needless to tell what the Repub-
lican party has done for the country in the
past few years. 1t is not necessary for me
to place Mckinley in the first rank of
Presidents. He is not only President, but
a fellow citizen and friend. If anything
would please him it would be that this
talk of harmony be not superficial. For
myself such a wish comes from the bot
tom of my heart. The Repub-
yond my merits. In 1896 1 felt on the turn
of events hung the prosperity and the sue
cess of our country. New issues had been
raised and many honest Republicans were
led astray. No argument is so strong an
object lesson. The Republican party prom
ised the country If Mckinley were elected
on the st. Louis platform all promises OF
prosperity would be fulfilled. They were
fulfilled. The renewed confidence of the peo-
pie came with the fulfllment. Let US give
notice to the opposition in Ohio and in the
United States that the Republican ranks
are filling up and preparing for the battle
of 1904. Let this be the notice to the State
and the United States"
The nominations subsequently made were
pretty evenly divided between the two fac
tons of the party.
