CATHEDRAES GIANT COLUMNS.
They Can't ne H0isted and Must ne Rolled
| Ashore--Week to Transfer Them. I

An attempt was made yesterday to move
the two great columns which are to be
placed in the sanctuary arch Of the
Cathedral OF St. John the Divine, but owing
to the time required to prepare for the work,
they could not even be landed from the
lighter on which they lie, at 1s5th street
and the North River When the tide is
high, about l o'clock, this afternoon the
columns will be rolled off the lighter on to
a landing stage built for the purpose.
Capt. Alfred Sorensen of Boston, who is
in charge Of the work. said yesterday that
any attempt to hoist the columns off the
lighter might lead to injuring them. 1t
was stated at the cathedral yesterday that
nearly week would be required to move
the six sections (the columns are in two
sections and each has pedestaD, from the
landing place to the cathedral AS the
work is likely TO obstruct traffic 1t will
probably be carried on at night. The
columns will be moved from the pier into
Twelfth avenue, thence to Manhattan

Our French Visitors.

The anniversary of the fall Of the Bas-
tile, particularly memorable when the
administration of French Government
affairs is in the hands of Republicans COM
batting reactionary tendencies, will be
celebrated in this city to-day with the
customary picnic, dances, fireworks,
banquet and speeches, and feature Of it
will be the attendance of the French sail
ors, the marines and crew of the French
warship Tage. They have been OBJ
served, in small groups, wandering about
the streets of New York, in their uniforms
of blue and white and with their swarthy
countenances oddly set off, in many cases,
by blond mustaches. Their stolidity
differs greatly from the usual vivacity
of Frenchmen hereabouts. The explana-
ton of this is probably that France
recruits its sailors, practically, from
the two provinces of Brittany and Nor
mandy.
There are in the American Navy $4,000
sailors but France, with coast line very
much less than the United States, has
43 900 sailors and marines in its service.
II is to the credit of the sailors seen about
town for the past week that they mind
their own business, keep out of brawls
and disputes, and enjoy the sights of the
town without adding anything to the
fund of disorder. They are welcome
at to-day's holiday festival.

It warns the patriot heart to know that
the American sea fighters did themselves
and their country credit not only as guests,
but likewise az hosts, in German and British
waters. Nor does it hurt the patriot pocket
book, for the sea fighters themselves, and
not the national treasury, pay the shot.
All the little extra delicacies necessitated
by the social activities at Kiel and Ports
mouth came out Of the pay and allowances
OF the officers of Admiral CoTToNs fleet and
every other American can enjoy the repu-
tation for hospitality earned abroad by his

The Hon. CHARLES F. MURPHY's defence
of the Tammany administration Of the
Dock Department, called forth by the in
vestigation making by the District Attor-
ney. repeats the fatal error Of the attack
ing force, which, we take it, is the present
municipal administration. Mr.. MURPHY
ignores the serious allegations as to i'm
proprieties, which in his case were that
friends and kinsmen of the Tammany Com
missioners were favored above other parties
in the granting of dock and hulkhead leases
and privileges. Mr.. MURPHY seeks to
Justify acts of the Tammany Commissioners
alleged to have been illegal by saying that
other administrations have done as much
or more. Reference to Pier ~ is not an
answer to his accusers.
The only way in which the whole truth
Of the situation in the Dock Department
can be brought out is by judicial proceed
ings such as are in progress now, and we
feel justified in predicting that the District
Attorney will give rospe" full consideration
to any evidence OF official wrongdoing by
his enemies which Mr.. MURPHY may submit
to him.

Illiteracy is much more general among
colored than white people in Maryland,
and in addition to the sums paid by the
State for primary education, consider
able sums are collected and disbursed for
high schools and universities, amount
ing in Maryland to $3.50, 900 year, prac-
tically all Of which is for the education
Of white children There are no private
schools for colored children, though
there are many for white children, and
Of the whole amount of disbursements
for school purposes 90 per cent. goes
to white and only 10 per cent. Of it to
colored children.
In respect Of tax-paying competence,
fully 9S per cent. of the income Of Georgia
is from white taxpayers, and if the ex-
isting disparity in school expenses was
increased to a division based on taxes il
would be tantamount to denial Of all
education for children of the colored race.
The colored population where largest
is poorest, and the means of educating
colored children from the proceeds OF
taxation paid by colored people are few,
scanty and elusive.
Georgia has large colored popula-
ton. 1t has, too, considerable litter
ate population, white and colored, and
the proposition to reduce the expenses
for colored schools in State in which
the division of illiteracy over the age Of
10 is So for the colored and only II for
the white population was not without
support on financial grounds; but these
do not seem to have outweighed the con-
siderations of humanity, progress and
good citizenship which impelled its
rejection.

DOWIE WORTH MILLIONS.
His Counsel Admits II In Suit for Libel
In Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Progress in the libel
suit brought by Samuel G. Priddle against
John Alexander Dowie in Judge Smiths
court to-day resulted in several admissions
on part Of counsel for the defendant that
are considered important by Priddle. They
are that Dowie is worth several millions Of
dollars, that he believes he is the spirit Of
Elijah restoring the Gospel practices and
doctrines. that he be lieves himself to be
the messenger that was spoken of in the
prophecy who should arise in the last days.
Pridd4e charges that Dowie published
statements rejecting on his character and
among other things asserted that he was
"a prophet Of the gutter and of damnation"
and an "insane fanatic" Dowie sets up
the plea that Priddie has not led good life
and that he was Justified in attacking his
character To this assertion Priddle re-
phi that he was disciple Of Dowie and
that the latter cannot set up as a defence

Wood, the Dlsplacer.

We have printed more than once the
fact that Gen. LEONARD WOODS next
friend and legal adviser at Santiago,
Major JAMES E. RuNcIE, has repeatedly
declared in private that the North Amert
can Revieu article attacking Gen. BROOKE
was written by RUNCIE at WOODS re-
quest to get BROOKE out Of Cuba.
We have also printed more than once
the fact that, according to Major Run
CIE's repeated statements in private
during the past two or three years, Gen.
BRooKE's demand for the court-mar-
tiallng of the author of the article was
referred by the War Department to Gen.
WooD at Havana, and that Gen. WOOD
thereupon stated to Washington that
his understanding was that while Run
Gle had written the article he had not
intended it to be published as an article,
but had merely given it to friend Of his,
RUNCIE's, to be used as the basis of
editorial comment in some newspaper.
The War Department continues to be-
lieve that what Gen LEONARD WooD
told il about the genesis of the attack on
BROOKE was true. At least, we judge
so from certain expressions in the recent
article in the Army and Nary journal,
purporting to state the War Departments
understanding of the matter.
Is it true that Gen. WOODS desire to
get Gen BROOKE out of Cuba was in
spired solely by unselfish and patriotic
considerations? Is il true that his faith
full friend RUNCIE prepared the article
attacking BROOKE without thought of
the promotion of Gen. WOODS personal
fortunes? Is it true that the article as
written bv RUNCIE at WOODS request
was intended only as memorandum
for editors? Is il true that there was
violation Of good faith by the publish
ers in New York in attaching Major
RUNcIE's name to the article he had
written at WOODS request to get BROOKE
out of Cuba?
If all these things are true, or if any
one of them is true, how are we to ex-
plain the following passages from letter
written by Major RUNCIE at Santiago
on Nov. 2s, 1890. which accompanied
the article itself 10 the man for whom
WOOD had asked RUNcIE to prepare
