ley, Pressed the Button That
Sent Vessel Down the Ways.

San Francisco, May 19.-Guided by
a lovely Ohio hand, and with a sweet
Ohio voice speaking her christening
benison, the gigantic red hull of the
battleship Ohio, as grim and stern
as warrior of old bathed in blood,
at noon Saturday entered the water.
Scarcely had the noon whistles and
bells been heard than President Nc
Kinley made his way to the stand
erected beneath the steel beak of the
monster ship. On his arm was his fa-
vorite niece, Miss Barber, who had
come to fill the place of her beloved
aunt. In his train was Gov. Nash and
pretty, timid Helen Deshler, the win
some sponsor for the latest and best
of the floating fortresses of She glori-
Gus flag. E u. Ha-EE.,
Grouped on the platform was q
notable throng of dignitaries. among
them the governors of four states.
From the timbered depths below
comes a shrill whistle. The hast prop
and stay but one has been cut away
and all is in readiness. Obetiient to a
signal the president and his niece
step to the table at the prov, where
an electric button CLEANS. Little Miss
Deshler, in her virginia. christening
gown, is handed the champagne flask.
1t is wreathed with the national tri
color and hangs from the prov by o
band of parti-colored ribbon. An.
other signal and the Ohio Poetess,
Ida Lawrence. steps forward
to read the ode commemorative of the
occasion. The master of the works
Irving Scott, nervous, but rcsolute
from time to time inspects n chro
nometer.
At 1926 the Pacific will be at flood
tide and the ship can sweep acrosi
the clinging bar. The ode is finished
and silence comes down. The ship
builder suddenly closes his watcf
and waves his hand. Miss Barber
nervously leans forward and places
her finger on the button, the presi
dent directing her movement. FaI
from below comes cracking sound
The electric current has set in motor
the mechanism that removed the last
prop. The towering, dull-red mass
seems to sink down into the christ
ening cradle, and before the awaiting
crowd realizes it has begun her dash
into the waves.
81 christen thee Oslo" rings out
in girlish treble, and with glisten.
ing eye and sure hand the white.
gowned sponsor sends The christening
flask smashing against the steel wall
before her. A cheer goes up as the
president waves his hat. Outside
hundred hoarse whistles break into
a moaning shrek, and hundred guns
send out n racking, crashing volley.
The Ohio is launched, and whether
for veal Or woe must row buffet and
breast the waves. AS she glided ma
jestically along the launching course
with ever decreasing speed the assem-
bled thousands send up their joyous
welcome, and when she at last stops
obedient to her assigned place. a
mighty shout and renewed blast of
whistles marks the close of the cere-
mony.

SHIPMENTS ARE HEAVY.
Extraordinary Movement of Goods
RepOrted-Industri COndi-
lions Much Improved.

New York, Oct. 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says: Trade
channels are remarkably free from OBJ
struction, although the movement Of goods
at some points is checked by insufficient
transporting facilities. This is a tribute
TO the unusually heavy shipments which
are shown more definitely by railway earn
ings IN September, % per cent. larger than
last year, and l6.7 per cent. above those Of
1899 Manufacturing Is Of such vigOr that
few wheels are idle, and further wage
agreements have reduced the number Of
strikers TO a minimum. Mild weather,
yacht races and other te mpOrary influences
eurtailed the volume of retail sales in this
vicinity, but jobbing and wholesale con-
Germs are preparing for exceptional trans
actions Foreign trade is also heavy.
Nothing new has developed in regard TO
the iron and steel situation, and with the
mills crowded in their efforts TO overtake
coHsumptiye demand there is little prospect
OF any material change in the market for
some time. Contracts Tor an enormous
quantity of steel rails, deliverable next
year at current quotations, indicate the
general confidence in the stability of prices
and the expansion Of railway facilities re-
quireG to meet the growing needs OF the
country,
Failures this week number POS in the
United States, against POS last year, and
81 in Canada, against . last year"
Bradstrects says: while speculative
markets, except for cotton, show reaction
airy tendencies, general distributive trade
and industry are active and a heavy vol
ume Of business is going forward. All OBJ
tainable measure of production and move
mtnt for the nine months of the year tes-
tify to this. Bank cisarings are heavily in
excess of previous years, railway earnings
continue very. favorable and talk Of
scarcity of cars for different sections of the
country is heard. Failures are more nu-
merous than last year or in 1899, but fewer
than in recently preceding years, and while
liabilities have expanded this has been due
mainly to a few large financial suspen-
sions before reported, because current fall
sures and liabilities are not as heavy as
earlier in the year. The cereals are very
generally weak and lower in all markets.
Large receipts, liquidation by tied longs
and unsatisfactory cable advIces have
weakened wheat slightly. Export trade,
however, fails to be greatly stimulated.
Corn has weakened slightly on improved
outside buying to keep prices up to the pro-
fessional liquidation and poor export in
quiry. Western shipments are heavy and
q larger movement in this latter direction
Is looked for"

A GREAT MEETING.
League of Iowa Municipalities
in 0skaloosa.

In reply to a note of inquiry The
HERALD is in receipt of the following
communication from Mayor F. K
Stebbins, of Iowa City, president Of
the League of Iowa Municipalities
which meets in annual convention ia
Oskaloosa October 9th and 10th:
"All indications point to the best
meeting in the history of the league
at your city next week.
We fully expect so cities to be rep
resented. AS you will perhaps re-
member the last general assembly
appointed a committee to go over
the statutes pertaining to our munic-
qualities and make recommend
atoms as to changes to the next
general assembly. The State Bar AS
ISOLATION also have a committee at
work along this line. Our league has
a committee on legislation that has
given this matter considerable atten-
ton during the past year, and they
will report next week. In my jugde-
ment this makes our next meeting of
great Importance. The general pro-
gram contains a variety of subjects
that ought to be of interest to every
city official in the state, and when
we take into consideration the fact
that the meeting has been we'll ad-
vertised we ought to have a good
meeting. Yours truly,
