LAUNCHING OF TUEST. LOUIS

MRS. CLEVELAND CHRISTENS TI1E HIQ STEAMER. The President Is Referred to by Mr. Cramp In III Speech and the Forxner Make a Tatrlotlo Reply Description, of (he Veasel. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 12. Shortly after 1 o'clock today the magnificent steamship. Si. Louis, of the American line, was successfully launched at Cramp's shipyards. The affair was witnessed by fully 50,000 people. Mrs. Cleveland, wife of the president, broke the traditional bottle of champagne on the bow of the noble hip aa It ffliJei down the ways, at the fame time uttering- these words: "I chrisfcbn thee St. Louis." In this instance and for the first time since the ceremony was observed at Cramp's shipyard, the champagne was of American manufacture. All preparations for the launch had been carefully made, and although; the ship Is 120 ffaefl longer than any that has ever been 'taunctad at the yard the difficult feat of crettisg' a vessel into the water, was accomplished, without a hitch. After tha launching the, invited guests, to the number of 400. were entertained at fk luncheon in the office of the builders. Charles Cramp, lm his speech of welcome to President Cleveland, sa d that with two exceptioca the et. Louis Is the largest and moat powerful ship In the world. He referred to the progress of ship building under President Cleveland's administration and credited to his policy the fact that such wonderful results have been accomplished In America. The St. Louis, ha said, is built on American plans, by American workmen and of American material. Twenty-six ships wera recommended by Mr. ClevLland anJ authorized by congress. Concluding. ho said that whil there may be honest differences on other questions, national approval of Mr. Cleveland's vigorous and patriotic naval policy will always be unanimous. At the conclusion of Mr. Cramp's speech. President Griseom of the International navigation company, who actedi as toastmaster, proposed the health of tha president of the United States, which was drunk with cheers. President Cleveland: In responding said: "I would not be entirely franli if I did no& acknowledge the extreme personal satisfaction afforded me by the reference Just made ti the pirt v.vi:! fell to me as a high duty and privilege in the great work of creating an American navy and at the same time stimulating American ship building. We shall fail to real'ie the full significance of what we have seen today .f we overlook the fact that the causes of our congratulation, reach beyond actual accomplishment and are not limited to il.e things already done and within our sight. While we may well be proud becuse we have launched the largest and most powerful steamship ever built In the western hemisphere and with two exceptions tha largest and most powerful in the wrld. and while we may find reason for additional pride in the fact, notwithstanding' central economic ujtoward conditions not encouraging to such an achievement, thLj great vessel has been built on American plans, by Ai.ieric.m mechanics and cf American materials. Tet we must noz forget that our greatest cause of congratulation is found in the. hope and promise thrse incidents furnish cf the revival ani development of American commerce ant tho renewed appearance of the American Hag in foreign ports. "I hope I shall not b accused of making a suggestion calculated to mar the gratification which the occasion inspire if I remind you the ship we have just launched was built in fulfillment of consideration of the relaxation of out' registry laws. Commerce is the life-blood of a nation and no country that loses or impoverishes cam reach and maintain a commanding position among the nations of the earth. Our Hag not only te'.ls cf our existence but it 1st a symbol of all that American institutions represent" In conclusion ITesident Cleveland said: 'SInce my participation in rebuilding our navy during a farmer cfflclal term has been so flatteringly referred to I hope It Is not amiss for me to say that I shall deem myself especially fortunate If in time to come it can be sid that I have done something during my present incumbency in aid of freedom and extension of American commerce and the consequent further growth of American shipbuilding." (Cheers.) Description of the' Ship. The St. Louis is chiefly remarkable in that ehe is the first modern merchantmarine structure of anything approachtag her dimensions built in the United States. She -will also be the pioneer in what promises to (become in time a rpirfted contest between the present Kn-ß-Üsh-built ocean greyhounds and those which will be turned out from American shipyards. "When completed she will take her plat e among the vessels owned by the International navigation company, which Include the Paris, New York and St. Paul, the latter being in process of construction in the yards of the Cramp company. The work of construction of the St. Louis was "begun ly the 'builders on July 27. lSf3, just fifteen months and the same number of days prior to the launching, which took place today. More than sixthousand tons of steel have already been worked into the mammoth steamer, which, when completed, will exceed in length and tonnage both the New York and Paris, and equal that of the otheT great transatlantic liners. Her length over all is 554 feet 2 inches; length between perpendiculars. feet 6 lathe?; extreme ibreadm. 6a feet; depth molded, 42 feet; number cf deck, 5; depth cf water bottom, 4 feet; number -f principal water-tight compirt merits, 17. and distance of co'.lislDn "bulkhead abaft of stem, S3 feet. After the vessel has -been towed back to the docks the work of putting in her engine will ibegin. These are of the quadruple expansion type, and are expected tD develop r.-ot less than 20.000 horse-power, Each of the two engines will have fmr cylinders of 35, 50, 71 and 100 inches diameter. The piston stroke will be about sixty inches. The steam to keep the big engines going will be supplied by a ibattery of six double-ended boilers, each twenty feet long and fifteen feet seventeen and one-half inches in diameter. The steam pressure is expected to 'be about two hundred pounds to the square inch. The engines of the new ship, when completed, will be the largest f the quadruple expansion type in the world. The crankshafts, connecting rods and steering geer will be made of the finest ingot steel. In order to come up to the builders' contract with the owners, these engines will have to send the St. Louis through the water at the rate of at least twenty knots a.i hour, under ordinary sea-going conditions. Tha steering apparatus will be of the screw gear type, with Williams's steam and hand eteering engine. The hull is of mild steel, of the (best quality. The arrangement of bulkheads and waUr-proof compartments Is such as t make it practically impossible to sink the vessel. If, in a collision, the (bulkheads are damaged three of the compartments might be completely flooded and yet the ship remain perfectly seaworthy. Tlite same arrangement practically Insures the ship against fir?, as it would be a comparatively easy matter to confine a blaze to any one compartment. Another nvel feature in the conf'mctlci of the St. Louis is that which i.as 'been introduced for the purpose of voiding low tide delays at the harar bars in New York and Liverpool. Her double hull is filled with water ballast. which fa rrfbe pumped out as the vessel rears the end of her Journey, thus decreasing her drought to a sufficient extent to enable her to pass over the bar at almost any tide. "When completed the St. Louis will have

accommodations for passengers as foli lows: First cabin, 320; second cabin, 200;

steerage. boQ; crew and employes. 400; tatal. 1,770. To insure the safety of this multitude the ship will carry fourteen Chambers collapsible life-tboats, fourteen ordinary lifeJboats, one cutter, one gig and four metal boats, all on the shade deck. For the comfort of the passengers there has been supplied in the plans a superb saloon, 110 feet long by 50 feet wide, which la to be exquisitely decorated. Over the center of this saloon rises) a dome 32 feet long by 1 feet wide and 13 feet high amldh!p above the dining room deck. The dining room tables will (be set f re and aft. The normal complement of officers, seamen, engine and fire-room hands and attendants will be as follows: Captain, 1: officers. 6; seamen, 120; engineers and machinists, 30; oilers, 30; tstewards and cocks. 124; stew-t rdesses, 16; chefs de chisine, 2; mail clerks, 2; doctor, 1; purser, 1; printer, 1. Total, S81. The gross register of the St. Louis will be 11.000 tons, and as she slid into the water today it was 6,100 tons. She will differ materially in appearance from the Paris and New York in that they have straight instead of clipper stems and carry but two funnels and two masts. A feature which will be appreciated by the new ship's patrons will 'be the promenade deck, which is designed to extend the enth-e length of the vessel without a break. METROPOLITAN POINTERS. The Tammany machine Is too badly smashed to be repaired, but there Is plenty of work in New York politico for honest members of Tammany, and they will find honest ways of doing it. X. Y. World (dem.). Every scheme of public robbery through tariff protection has received a new Impulse by the republican victory at the election. Sugar trust stock i3 one of the advancing securities on the speculative market. Chiago Herald (dem.). The lesson which ex-President Harrison draws from the election Is "Trust the people." He is late in learning wisdom. It is not so long ago in the days of the Lodge bill that the Harrisonian motto was "Force the people." Chicago Times (dem.). In every county and city democrats who have the welfare of the party at heart should meet and discuss the party's welfare; and should be indifferent to the mere personal fortunes of any politician. This is not a time for personal ends to be considered. It is the time for conscientious voters to confer with each other. Whatever in experience, ability and conscientious service politicians have to offer is to be welcomed. But the arbters are the men who vote. St. Louis Republic (dem.). It is but just to say that the republicans have accepted their great victory in an excellent spirit, Some of the little fellows Lark away, of course, about the Instant restoration of McKinley duties, and there is some talk about the protectionist champion's being the "logical candidate" in is:t;, but, for the most part, the republican interpretation of the elections is that they gave a verdict in favor of good government and strict party responsibility, and against machine politics, whether in city, state or nation. N. Y. Post (mug.). An obvious if not the most important caus? cf the overwhelming democratic defeat was without doubt in the financial crisis which overtook the country soon after the inauguration of President Cleveland. A large proportion of voters Judge of the political situation as they find it, without searching for Irs underlying influences. It was in vain to urge with these voters the truth that the maladministration of the republican party had brought on the crisis. It was enough for them that the times had become worse under democratic rule; and they acted accordingly. Philadelphia Record (dem.). Now that the clamor and din of the great political battle which has raged for s many months are dying cvt it is gratifying to note multiplying ;'!".! r.mv.Htakable signs of a reviv;'! of 3 t:j;,e.5. The extended wnve of c.n;nier'ial depre??"on which started In 1SP1 tj make its Iucv;'5h but disastrous circuit f the Klobe traveled in the same direction as th vast tidewave of the ocean from ihv East to the West. After first traversing t:e old world It reached this country ar'.y last year. It has moved with tardy step indeed, but there is now every reason : hope that it has broken to pieces an 1 is fa.-t disappearing. N. Y. Herald (indj. Although in Tuesday's election there was nowhere a trace cf fed ral meddling with the ballot-box, and tilth ;.gh throughout the South the whites were in absolute control of the election machinery, no fewer than eight of the states formerly included within slaveholding territory have sent republican representatives to the next congress. The states to v. h ch we refer are Delaware. Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia. Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and North Carolina. Indeed, it now looks ns if there will be as many republicans from the former slave states as there will be democrats from the former free states. N. Y. Sun (dem.). Everything Is propitious now for the democrats to stnrt fresh, and they should do it In the most resolute manner. If they shall profit by the healthy clean-up that has been given them by the people, and by the defeat that they have well deserved both in the state and nation, they can at once become an Important factor in politics and get into hopeful shape for 1896. If they do not understand the lessons of adversity, and refuse the teachings which the people have given them, the democracy may a3 well close out business and retire from the field of politics. The people have given the democrats a healthy clean-up; let them appreciate it and fit thmselves for future usefulness in our political battles. Philadelphia Times (dem.). Certainty and Stability. Business men who voted for "certainty and stability" in the way that Tom Reed advised them to have secured what they wanted after a fashion. For the remaining half of the present administration they are sure of a hous of representatives overwhelmingly republican. senate in which the populist visionaries hold the balance of power, and a democratic president. Thus we have a certainty that the new tariff will remain In force until after the election, of another congress at least. But what sort cf a eertaln'ty have they after that? Is it a- certainy that the tariff will be all torn up again during the first term of the next administration, or that the p -sent liw will remain in force a while ionger? To some people there does not seem to be much certainty about it. And what certainty is there about the currency? Many business men are anxious to have the currency question taken out of politics. They are anxioti3 to get the government out of the banking business, out of the paper money business altogether, and to have the standard question finally settled one way or the other so they may know what they are doing when they make contracts. There Is no prospect whatever of that with the populists holding the balance of power in the senate. All that has been gained in the matter of the currency is the "stability" for some years mora of a currer.'-y system which enlightened financiers everywhere regard as both absurd and dangerous In the extreme. Possibly business men will find this kind of stability far from agreeable before they are through with it. Chicago Herald.

The six-day billiard match between Jacob Schaefer and Frank C. Ives began tonight at Madison Square garden concert hall. Th? match is for $3.000 at fourteen-inch balk line, the anchpr nurse being barred. The game is one of 3,600 points, 600 points be-' ing played each night. The attendance was not large and play began at 8:23. Budd Schofield was marker and CapL Anson of the Chicago base ball club acted as referee. Schaefer won the break and missed his first attempt for the carom. Ives started in with some bright playing and put up a score of thirty. He broke down on a difficult masse. In the second Inning Ives ra.n up thirty-eight and failed on a difflcult draw. Jike triad a double cushion stroke, but went behind the ball and Ives, on resuming, ran up sixty-four by careful nursing. Schaefer then began to play and at fifty-one a brilliant carom off three cushions received a round of applause. He continued to score until he had rolled up 106 points, when he broke down over an easy shot. Ives lost no time In getting to work again and after scoring flftejn a fluky caram gave him a new lease of Ufa and he reached twenty-five, when he gave way to the wizard. Schaefer made a carom and gave way to the young Napoleon, who missed, and the wizard by brilliant play added twenty to 5il3 score. Ives only succeeded In scoring on his seventh Inning, to which Schaefer responded with twenty-two. Then Ives broke down, after making one, and the game at the end of the eighth inning was: Ives, 170; Schaefer, 164. Jake Jumped into the lead with thirty-seven. Score: Schaefer, 201; Ives, 170. It was here that Ives mad"1! a good run. After he had scored about fifty he began to play balk line nurse. Schaefer contributed a steady run of forty-two and "ves followed promptly with nearly double that number. He stopped at seventy-six. Triple figures again came in when Schaefer had his next say. They were very pretty billiards that he played, and very rapidly he played them. His figures were 108 for that Inning. All Ives Kot was two little ones. Schaefer followed with seven, after which Ives gathered eights', (bringing his total up to 4SI. Schaefer was 358. The wizard in the eld days of straight billiards never played more rapidly than he did in his next inning. They were running smoothly when, a bit of carelessness downed him at Ixty-seven. Ives scored twenty-six, all hard ones, and yielded the table to the wizard again, who showed something now in corner play and ticked off forty-five without much trouble. Then they split and he missed. Ives scored onoe and missed an easy one. Jake drew a blank. The youngster thn made thirty-five. Schaefer secured one. Ivps poked twenty-five, making his total SfiS. The wizard finding them to his liking did not stop counting until ha had scored 120, which endei the night's play. Score: Schaefer 0. 12, 3. 0, 10Ö, 1, 20. 22. 37, 42. 108. 7. C7, 43. 0, 1, 129.

I can very well remember being taken out to visit some peach-faced creature in a blue sash, and shoes . to correspond. whose life I supposed to consist entirely of birthdays. Upon seed cake, sweet wine and shining presents that glorified young person seemed to me to be exclusively reared. At so early a stage of my travels did I assist at the anniversary of her nativity (and become rnanvtred of her), that I had not yet acquired the recondite knowledge that a birthday Is the common property of all whi are born, but supposed it to be a special gift bestowed by the favoring heavens on that one distinguished infant. There was no other company, and we sat i;1 a shady bower under a table, as my better (or wc-rse) knowledge leads me to believe and were regaled with saccharine substances and liquids until it was time to part. A bitter powder was administered to m? the next morning, and I was wretched. On the whole, a pretty accurate foreshadowing of my more mature experience in such wise! From Dickens's "The Uncommercial Traveler." The Carpet BaRger Candidate. The defeat of such a high-minded statesman as William L. Wilson was a conspicuous disgrace to the state of West Virginia, but an ever greater disgrace would be the election of Stephen U. Klkins to the United States senate. It will be a sorry day for the Panhandle stat3 when It casts aside the Wilsons and takes up tha Elk'.nses. Steve Elkins Is a carpetbagger. He is pre-eminently one of the boodle variety of politicians. He is a b?liever in the power of money in public lif?, rather than of character and brains. He is a oorporal'onist. He is In favor of trusts. He Js tfe kind of man who should by all mean be kept out of the senate. He would Vendor the public no service there. There are enough of his breed in the senate now. Will such republican names as doff, Sturglss and Campbell names identified for many years with the interests of West Virginia be marked off the slate to make room for that of a carpet-bagger? Pittsburg Post. Steve's Xerve. If Steve Elkins succeeds in breaking Into the senate from West Virginia the ' itching palms in tho star-route service may again take hojx. .Steve has had experience, and with it he combines a nerve ' that comminda admiration even from the tools of the protective banditti like Gorman, Biicc and Smith.

MABKET BEPORTS.

CHICAGO. Nov. 12. Wheat was strong and made a gain of ic Decreasing stock3 abroad, where, much of the crop is going int the pig trough, just as is the case here, waa the main cause cf the advance. Corn followed wheat in a reluctant fashion and gained, only c. Provisions were strong and made a considerable advance. Oats trailed after the other markets, gaining 'fcc for May. Wheat opened with am entire recovery of the 'Sic it lost Saturday, 60Hc being paid for some May. Tha price fluctuated for half an hour between 60'.4c and 60c and 60c, and then had a temporary shoot up to eoVa'üJGOe. Liverpool quoted, a gain of from Vid to 3 per cental, butf thos? quotations "were accompanied by remarks which had more influence than those not very alarming figures. They dwelt chiefly upon) diminishing stocks. A private Liverpool dispatch said Russian supplies are moderate and, intimlated that the key to the situation was tho exportable surplus of this country. Paris -wired that stocks was small and likely to decrease, and that the wheal and flour market was firm and advancing. Besides the strong cablegrams the domestic situation has some points of encouragement to Holders. Northwestern receipts were again light. An advance by the northwesternj millers of 40c per barrel Inl the price of their flour was telegraphed from Minneapolis. Primary market receipts were about the same as on Monday last. The visible increased 1,193,000 buahels, but that was not regarded as a bearish Item In view of the trading having previously discounted a possible gain of 1,500.000 bushels. The market was fairly steady at about 600 when the visible soipply was posted, but after that statement dropped to 60c It recovered again to COc on the strength of the closing cables and touched 60ic. Pardrldge, however, began to sell very freely. The price dmpped under that selling to COc, but reacted, to 60c at the close. The corn market did not interest a great crowd today. The price improved Ui at tfte opening and the streiithl of wheat tended to prevent a decline during the day. May opened at 50c. sold sparingly at 43c, and then gradually increased its gain until after touching 6OV3C The reaction in wheat caused corn to follow it and May was at 04c about half an hour from tha close. It was at COQDOic at the finish. Quite an active session was passed In the oats market. Carrington-Hannah and Lamson Bros, were bidding feely. The visible supply showed a decrease ofVtOS,000 bti shield in oats. Rime strength was derived from this, but tha mist important cause for the advance was tha good demand and the. higher prices in corn. May started at 32U324c and sold up to 32?8c, closing at 222C. The provision market was strong for about an hour. It then became very wobbly and uncertain with from 57Vic changes in value betrweem trades in pork. Lard and! ribs took their cue from pork, but were played in a minor key. The market became strong again later on buying by Armour's brokers and covering by shorts. The gains for the day were: Pork. 42c; lard, 20c, and ribs, 22Vic. Freights Atrenki asked lc for grain to Buffalo. Line boats took small lots at lc. but later advanced to H-jc.

Berry's Chicago advices say: It lias been a strong day all around in both grain and provisions. Wheat opened firm and active with prices v2c higher. Offerings were limited, commission houses had good buying orders for outside account and the market kept on its upward course. Wheat on passage decreased 112.000 bushels. Cables continue to show good advances and with only 878 cars in the northwest: everybody wanted wheat. The May option soon touched 60c. Clearances aggregated but 230,000 bushels of wheat and flour. Foreigners, however, manifested considerable interest at New York, Which caused 311 advttnce, with eastern simulators sending some g'Xd buying orders for this market. Speculation is broadening and sentiment is such that it is becoming less difficult daily to advance the market. The report of 1. 193,000 bushels increase in the visible had but little or no effect, being about what was expected. OuLide orders were numerous and the market closed lirm at within :wc of the highest point. With a decrease of 20,000 bushels in the visible of corn, it now stands sit 2.63S.000 bushels, the lowest in twenty-five years, and with the movement of new corn at but 20 to 30 per cent, of any ordinary year makes a very bullish statement. The heavy stocks of wheat, however, se?m to act as an offset, for local operators continue bearish and were the principal sellers this morning. The market ruled fairly active and prices show an advance of Vc to Jäc over Saturday's. Elevator interests have been the principal buyers in the oats market today, which ruled fairly active and rc higher in sympathy with; wheat. The visible decreased 308.000 bushels, while receipts are by no means heavy. Provisions continue to rule strong, scoring an advance today of 60e per barrel on January pork. Packer did the bulling.
