SHIP.

The Orion, Great Britain's newest
and greatest battleship, was launched
at Portsmouth, Eng, Saturday in the
presence Of King Alfonso and Queen
Victoria Of Spain and distinguished
gathering of naval officers and repre-
sentatiyes from public life. Compared
with the armored cruiser Lion Of o.
$50 tons just launched, the Orion will
displace only 22,500 tons, but her ten
13-5-inch guns and her new, deadly
equipment OF torpedoes render her by
far the most powerful battleship ahoat.

Orion weighs nearly a ton, and its
range will exceed 1900 yards at a
speed OF forty knots. The torpedo
carries a charge Of gun cotton weighing
go pounds. The Orion will have q
speed Of q knots, and will carry 4, 600
tons of fuel, giving her an unusually

ENUMERATION FOR SHERMAN.

At Sulphur, Okla, on Saturday
night the committee appointed by the
House OF Representatives to investigate
Indian land affairs and the McMurray
contracts, and which has been investi-
eating the Gore bribery charges, issued
the following statement"
The committee has heard and care
fully considered all of the testimony
submitted, and it is unanimous in the
opinion that there is and was no war
rant for any person to use the names
Of Vice President Sherman and Senator
Charles S. Curtis in connection with
any improper relation with any Indian
contract whatever.
The investigation has not been con-
cluded. McNiurray will continue bis
testimony today
Senator Gore, in statement sent to
the committee, and which the commit
tee gave out, and announced that it
commended, said in part
Neither the name of Vice President
Sherman nor Senator Curtis was men
toned by me on the floor Of the Senate.
That the name of either Of these parties
was alluded to by Mr.. Hamon was
steadfastly withheld from the public I'M
til this investigation began.
No public mention OF their names
was ever made, either directly or indi-
rectly, by me until was required and
obliged to do so, testifying as a witness
under oath and detailing the converse
ton which occurred between Mr.. Ham
on and myself. | then made formal
protest against introducing their names,
but the committee in the proper pur-
suit Of its duties, required me to make
a full answer without reservation.
Their names were disclosed not with
any view of incuIpating them nor with
any view OF suggesting guilt, but merely
in order that the truth, and the whole
truth might be related with reference to
the details of the conversation on the
question.
Il am sure that in the court Of public
opinion no judgment or verdict has
been returned either against the vice
president or Senator Curtis on account
of the misuse of their names in the
manner above referred to"

Thinking of the days when his serv-
ices as a clown and acrobat brought
him $1,000 a week, Handsome
Harry" Mylette was sent to the work
house yesterday by Magistrate Nash in
the Flatbush court. Mylette had been
an inmate Of the Kings County Aims
house for two years. but wandered
away on Thursday night and was
picked up by Patrolman Mclean.
Years ago Handsome Harry" was
the star clown Of the Barnum & Bailey
circus. "Tody" Hamilton almost ex-
hausted his wonderful stock Of adiec-
tives in praising the feats Of the clown.
One night, before President Garfield
and other distinguished spectators,
Handsome Harry" attempted to jump
over three elephants. He fell and in
jured his spine He continued his
work, but his injury had robbed him
Of his former cleverness, and after
Barnum's death he drifted out Of the
show business and vent down hill.
On Thursday night he started on one
of his periodical sprees. Mclean saw
him raising a disturbance and swinging
his crutch at pedestrians. Handsome
Harry" told the magistrate that he was
fifty-fve years old, that he had travelled
over the world and had made king and
citizen alike laugh at his antics. Mag
istrate Nash was inclined to be merciful
but the police said the former clown
was a hard case. - New York Tribune.

From Nicaragua.

Buefelds, Nicaragua, Aug. %
The insurgents started from Granada
today to carry their campaign TO the
Madriz capital, Managua, which it is
believed here now will soon be in the
hands Of Gen. Juan Estrada, who is
already being proclaimed here as the
saviour of his country" There is
some doubt whether Gen. Estrada will
be made president, on account OF the
numerous enmities aroused and the
bitterness developed during the long
campaign. 1t is confidently predicted,
however, that if the general is not
made president, one Of his brothers
surely will be placed at the head of the
government. Ii is taken as matter
of fact here today that Managua will
fall. Madriz has fled. Granada and
the town OF Tipitapa are both in the
hands Of the Insurgents. Masaya is
expected to be evacuated by the Madriz
troops today. Reports from Tipitapa
indicate that the insurgents now are
meeting with practically no resistance.

moralized and rapidly are disorganlz-

The police Of Paterson, n. j., are

death of Oscar Goldstcin, two years

in the Passaic river Oscar wandered
away from his home on Tuesday last.
Three children found the baby on

wandered from home. The baby was
crying and they took it to police head
quarters. There, according to the
story told 10y the three children, a
policeman in a gruff voice ordered
them to take the child back to the cor
ner where they had found it, and to
leave it there. The children, greatly
frightened, did as ordered Oscar, it is
presumed, wandered along river street
two blocks, where the street ends at the
river, and tumbled over the bank. An
hour later the father appeared ri Police
Headquarters, but he was told that no

MONDAY EVENING. AUG.

ACCORDING to adviccs from Wash
ington, another terrible blow was de
livered Speaker Cannon today when 1t
was allowed to become known that his
Services are not desired" by the re-
publican congressional committee in
the coming campaign and that he will
not be given any speaking dates. The
statement was made by republican
leader. who professed 10 have positive
knowledge that Caunon's services have
not been and will not be solicited by
the national republican congressional
committee. His name was SAID to have
been omitted from the list OF speakers.
In answer to the suggestion that Mr.
Cannon might receive many direct IN
vitations to speak and that, III response
10 them, he would be a busy factor M
the campaign, the opinion was OK
pressed that this possibility is not con
sidered likely TO upset the committee :
plans. The reason given was that the
speaker, in his Kansas speeches and III
other strains, is devoted TO the policy
of an open fight on insurgents. Hot
shot for all who dared oppose the regu-
lars seems to be his programme, it was
explained. The fact that Representa-
tiyes Walter ]. Smith, of Iowa, and
William +. Humphreys, of Washing
ton, two Of the mDs. popular OF the
regulars, have deserted Cannon goes
far 70 strengthen tine belief that he can
not get the support Of majority Of
his party III the new Congress for
speaker. Smith was a member Of Can
mons personally conducted committee
on rules. He is leading member OF
the important committee on approprla-
tions and has been one Of the leaders
in the House. He is a candidate to
succeed Cannon, and all the present
indications are that he will be big
figure in the fight, providing the next
House is republican. Since Thomas
b. Reed left the speakers chair its oc-
cupant has been a man from the west.

In DRY" FIGHT
Local Society Pledges Support
TO Anti License
Forces

The City Union of the Christian En-
deavor Society met Monday night in
Rodney Street Presbyterian Church.
Reports were received from all but
four societies. The different unions
have held their services through the
summer months, and are In good
shape for active work. Delaware
Avenue Baptist Union, and Olivet
Presbyterian Union, each reported
four new members received during
the summer. Delaware Avenue Jun
iors turned in SO for the Memorial
Building.
The most important work taken up
at the meeting was the decision TO
take an active part in helping the
anti-license movement in the coming
local option campaign. Much enthu-
siasm was displayed in the move
ment. At the last meeting, it had been
decided to appoint a committee TO
work with the State Committee to Sc
cuse a local option speaker. The
matter remained at standstill be-
cause the State Committee could not
obtain the speaker they wished. The
meeting instructed the president, A.
Rae Dubell, 10 appoint the commit
tee. After a conference with Secretary
Arters of the Anti-Saloon League, he
will do so.
The next meeting, to be held the
first Monday in October at St. Pauls
NJ. f. Church, will elect delegates TO
