ARMORED CRUISER PENNSYLVANIA
LAUNCHED AT THE CRAMP SHIP YARD

Philadelphia. Aug. 22.-An occasion
which will be memorable in the history
of this state transpired today when
the giant armored cruiser Pennsylva-
MIA. named by the daughter of the
states senior senator and political
leader. was Launched at the yards Of
the William Cramp Ship & Engine
Building company.
The maiden plunge of the formula
bic addition to the United States navy
was witnessed by one of the largest
and most distinguished assemblages
that has ever gathered at Cramps ship
yards. More favorable weather could
not have been desired, and the hag-be-
decked sea fighter gliding down the
ways. greeted by the acclamations of
thousands of spectators and the shriIl
blasts of the myriad OF river craft. was
an inspiring scene.
Under the towering PROV of the
pennsylvania was erected a platform
from which 1000 specially invited
guests witnessed the launching. From
the main stand rose a smaller platform
upon which stood The christening par

his favorite daughter. Lady Gwendolin
Cecil. who was kneeling beside him,
and then quietly breathed his last.
Lord Edward Cecil had been warned
early this afternoon by telegraph that
the end was near. All the other mem
bers Of his lordship's family had~gath-
cred at the bedside.
DR.. Douglass, who had attended Lord
Salisbury, was notified by telegraph
this morning that it was useless for
him to come, and he was therefore alb
sent at the end.
Scenes at the Bedside.
The village of Hatfield, which still
retains many features of the feudal
period, was filed with anxious resi-
dents awaiting the news of his lord
ships demise. The great Hatfield
house, hidden behind the screen of pine
trees. was lighted at every window,
and gave no sign of the approaching
fatality. Groups of watchers clustered
under the Elizabethan arches of the
lodge gates, anxiously questioning each
passenger from Hatfield house.

RENEWED THEIR FIGHT
BOokbindeTS in the Government
Printing Office Give Out an
Official Statement.

Washington. Aug. 22.-The bookbinders'
union of this city today gave out an au-
thorized ST atement regarding the con-
troversy with w. A. Miller, assistant
foreman OF the bookbindery in the gov
eminent printing office. who recently was
discharged by Public Printer Palmer on
the ground that he was a non-union man
and afterward reinstated upon order of
the president.
The bookbinders claim that when Miller
first entered the service he made mis-
representations to the effect that he had
served a full apprenticeship, which they
claim he had not done, and they repeat
the charges of marital Irregularities.
They explain at length the grounds for
Miller's expulsion from the union. which
they say was due to the fact that he
made Misrepresentation to congress con-
corning the work done at the govern
ment printing office, with a view to Sc
curing a reduction Of the pay of the
binders On this point they say;
He was granted "A fair and impartial
trial by his peers. He was given every
right and privilege accorded by the con-
stttution he had obligated himself to con-
form to and support. During the pro-
gress of the trial the evidence that ne
had outraseOusly violated his obligations
was so convincing and overwhelming that
he was denounced as unfit for member
ship in an organization composed of self
respecting men, and they expelled him
tberefrom."
They also deny as untrue the claim
made by Miller that he has increased the
output of his division at reduced cost.

n HEHALIS, Wash, Aug. 22.-An eX-
cursion train on the Northern Pa
cific. consisting OF an engine and
seven coaches, enroute to the Elks
clam bake at Olympia, was wrecked
about IL o'clock this morning two
miles south of here. Two people were
killed, four fatally injured and about
thirty seriously hurt
The train left Portland at 1880 this
morning and every car was crowded
with prominent EIks of this city and
their families ana friends. The train
was running at good rate of speed
when the rails spread, throwing the en-
CINE down an embankment forty feet
Three coaches piled on top of the en-
CINE and to add To the horror of the
scene the boiler of the engine exploded,
throwing scalding water and steam for
several yards around. The fourth, fifth
and sixth coaches left the track. but
only the front end of the fourth car
went over the bank. The seventh
coach is the only one that did not leave
the rails.
Nearly All Injured.
Nearly every one IN the first coach
was injured most Of thom having their
legs or arms broken. Those who es-
capeS injury started TO assist the IN
jured and to pull them from the wreck.
Several doctors were on the train and
within a short time they were binding
wounds or setting broken limbs.
A messenger hurried TO Chehalis with
the news and a rain of fat cars was
sent to the scene Of the wreck to bear
the injured to the hospital here. Every

of the day on which the old schooner

Reliance beat the British boat three

The nautical sharps. who had already

The single criticism he and his friends
make of today's race is that the only
shift of the wind which occurred was

granting that IL accounted for the

Immediately notified King Edward and
Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales and others. including
Lord Edward Cecil, the soldier son OF
Lord Salisbury, who is now in Egypt
and who was the only child Of the
marquis absent from the deathbed.
Messages Of Coincidence.
Soon messages Of coincidence began
coming in. and the little telegraph Of
flee at Hatfield was swamped with un-
precedented business. The death OF
Lord Salisbury occurred on the iftieth
anniversary of his entry into public
life. as a member of the house of COM
mons for Stanford.
The elevation Of Lord Cranborne TO
the house of lords creates a vacancy
in the Rochester district and probably
will entail the selection of a now under
secretary of foreign affairs.
The eX-premier. though retired from
political life. was an important figure
in many public ways. He was war
den Of the Cirque ports. high steward
Of Westminster and chancellor Of OK
ford university. His death places an
order of Knight OF the Garter at the
disposal Of King Edward.
