In the bay, yachts, tuffs, stcimers cad nil available small boats wero crowded to their utmost capacity. Nearly all were payly decorated, and with ÜatfS llyinj they presented a very pretty picture from a position in tho vicinity of the irbn works. The fop lifted by 11 o'clock and the sun shono forth lo lend its jjlory to the scene. At Uis time the shores were black with the irreat and enthusiastic throng, anxiously awaiting tho moment when tho tide would be highest and the mass of iron and steel would plunge into tho waters of the bay. A private stand had lieen erected ritfht under the bow of the battleship und hereon stood invited guests. Irving M. Scott, president of the Union iron works, was present giving directions to the last minute. Gen. linger, commanding the department of the Pacific, and staff; Capt- Howison, commandingMare Island Navy yard; Gov. Markhatn, Mayor Ellert, Gen. Compsou of Portland, representingGov. Penuyoyer of Oregon, and other distinguished personages were present, and in addition there wero two young ladies who were to take a most important part in the ceremony. They were Miss Daisy Ains worth, representing the state of Oregon, and Miss Eugenia Shelby, representing tho city of Portland. Miss Kuth Dolph, daughter of Senator Dolph, of Oregon, hud been designated by Secretary Herbert to represent the navy, but the young lady was unable to be present. On arrival of the final moment, two minutes before noon, the cord connecting the dog-shores instead of being severed by the historic hatchet, was cut by n. guillotine set free by the pressing of an eleetrie button by Miss Shelby. The guillotine in its full severe! the cord which held two 25-pound weights in position. These weights struck the dog-shores, and knocking them out set the vessel in motion. At the same moment Miss Ainsworth pressed another button allowing a bottle of California champagne to crash against the bow in a thousand pieces and spill its contents over it. Thus was the big ship christened on her departure from the ways down which she glided easily into the bay, a mighty cheer arising from the admiring throng and bands -playing national airs, and with every whistle round about sending forth a screech of enthusiasm. The Oregon, when complete, will cost, exclusive of armament, f 4,000,000. She will have a displacement of 10,298 tons, a maximum of 9,000 horse-power ami a speed of 16 2-10 knots per hour. Her length over all will be 343 feet, her breadth 00 feet 3 inches, her draught 34 feet LUCKY HOOSIERS. To Share In Two-Mllllon-Dollar'a Worth of Coal Lands In Kaatern Kentucky. iNniAN-APOMs, Ind., Oct 37. Tho courts of Pike and Letcher counties, Ky., have just established the title of the John C. Craig heirs to a largo landed estate of 20,000 acres in the rich coal fields of eastern Kentucky, the estimated value of the property being t2,OO0,0OO. About five yenrs ago John Hehn, an attorney of Louisville, was examining the records of Pike county, when ho accidentally discovered that a title for 20,000 acres of land was clear to the heirs of John Craig. Ho began to look into the matter. Continuous work since theu has established the claims of the rightful heirs. The following are the names of some of tho 'heirs: Mrs. Eliza Dennis, Indianapolis; J. Calvin Craig, Lawrenceburg, Ind.; Mrs. E. A. Shaw, Moore's Hill, Ind.; Mrs. Lizzie Emswilcr, Peru, Ind.; Mrs. I. N. Walker, Indianapolis; Mrs. Mary Farnsworth, San Krancisco; Dr. W. C.

Muncie has been receiving state aid for three weeks. Thcro are now 145 cases of smallpox in Muncie, and ixty-nino houses are infected. Twenty deaths have occurred. The mayor says t)iat it is hoped that state aid may be dispensed with soon. A letter to the state board of health from Ohio says thnt there are flvo cases of smallpox in Dark county (adjoining Wayne and Randolph counties, Ind., on the east.

An encouraging sign is the increase of the gold reserve, wh ich to-day stands at nearly fS3,OO0,000. This increase has been brought about by increased gold payments on account of customs and by less gold beinp paid out in the ordinary course of treasury business. DThis has been made possible by the fact that tlie treasury, by working an extra force over liours has caught up to some sliprht extent with the accumulated paper currency awaiting redemption. The amount thus tied up has now been made available and has been paid out, where had it not been on hand gold would have been used to meet current expenses. It is believed that the redemption will keep ahead of the needs of the currency and thus give the goldreservc an opportunity to strengthen ita-lf. DEVOURING FLAMES.

A fire which at one time seemed to threaten tho main structure broke out in the manufacturing building- in the inclosure and closely adjoining the state penitentiary at 0 o'clock last evening. The Unities are supposed to have had their origin in the foundry row and spread to the foundry room, range works and Äarucss shops. The fire -was plainly visible in the city, between three and four miles distant, and in the absence of reliable reports the wildest rumors prevailed, one report h'ing to the effect that fifty convicts had been burned to death.f'Knirines and firemen from Lincoln went nut, but their services were not needed, the waterworks at tho institution with the apparatus at hand manned by guards and trusty convicts, beiny ample to cope with tho fia mes. T he loss falls heaviest on the state, which owned the buildings and partof the furnisHings. It is estimated that the loss is $00,000; entirely uuinsured. The Western Manufacturing Co., the Lincoln range -works and ltuekstalT llros., who operate the harness shop, lose somctliii)glike?.)0,000; nearly fully insured. Mad the boiler-room been destroyed, the engines operating the waterworks would have been rendered useless, und the result would have been faf more serious. ADMIRAL-STANTON'S BLUNDER. The Itriult of Trittsilng Officer for Sem Iy Nrtrlce on l.itnil. Washi.voto.v, Oct 27. Admiral Stanton's blunder in saluting the rebel squadron oefore Rio was made still more Inexplicable yesterday afternoon by a perusal of the roster on tio Newark, His flag-ship, which showed that at least two men of standing pn hoard were acquainted with the intricacies of international law and presumably knew that the salute to the rebel Ueet'-vvas an affront to tho regular government of JJra7.il. This knowledge seems to confirm the almost general belief at the navy department that Admiral .Stanton has some reasonable explanation to offer for hisuufortunate action. The Stanton incident has called attention to the fact that many naval officers have seen very little sea duty in proportion to their actual service in the navy, and are therefore inexparicneed as to the course of conduct to bo pursued when assigned to duty in connection with international or national dillicultles of a hostile character. Admiral Stanton is pointed out as one of these officers, whose term of land service lias greatly exceeded tho time he has spent, at sea. THE AUSTRIAN CRISIS.

Silva, the trusted cashier and secretary oi the Hainwater-llnidfurd Hat Co,, is a defaulter to an extent exceeding SJÖ0,D00, and detectives are searching foi him. The Haiti wn tor-Urad ford lint Co. hat failed in business as a result of this gb gantie embezzlement, and its aiTaira have Ih'oii turned over to Christophe! 1'. Kllerbce sis assignee. llehind these proceedings there 5s a story that will be more than a nine days' sensation in the commercial worlC. C. Kaiinvator, the head ol the firm bankrupted by an arch em beizler, is known wherever St, Louis commerce has spread. Further than that his reputation as a pushing, active, enterprising citizen is known throughout the financial and railroad world. It is to the multiplicity of Maj. llainwatcr's engagements outside of his hat business, which had grown to $503,O00 a year, and the demands upon his time consequent upon their importance that his present misfortune may be attributed. Merchants' Itridge and Merchants' Terminal affairs not only reqaired close application, but necessitated frequent absences from tho city. He has always been considered a close and tecretive man, given to strong likes and dislikes, as men of positive character always are. To this trust he owes his ruin and impoverishment at the end of a half century of ceaseless toil. He trusted Louis .1. Silva as he would have trusted himself. He .had reared him in btiMness, and elevated him step by step from an office boy at ?3 per week to cashier and secretary of a concern doing föOO.OOO business annually. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Rainwater was the last man in ist. Louis to learn that his handsome.popular cashier was known to all t he touts and gamblers at the fair grounds and Fast St Louis race tracks as a "high roller," and to several brokers on Third street as a daring and dashing speculator in cereals and stocks. He led, to a certain extent, a double life. Inveterate gambler as he was down town, out at ills lovely home on Cates avenue, in Cabannc place, he wsis a leader in society and a model domestic man. All money coming into the firm was received by him. He duly entered the receipts into the cash book, but appropriated the funds and gare no credit on the ledgers to the customers It was in May that Mr. Rainwater began to notice that collections were unusually slow. He spoke to Silva, who explained that times were a little dull in the country. Then he would ndd: -'These people say tluU they have no money. I will enter suit if you say so." Mr. Itainwater said "no." Then the financial stringency set in in earnest Eastern manufacturers who looked on Rainwater-Bradford as gilt-edged, were pressed for money, and they wrote to demand it Country collections were reported slower than ever. In despair Mr. Ilainwater would order suits entered in certain cases. Strangely enough before the attorney could act. Mr. Silva would notify Mr. Rainwater that the delinquent creditor had suddenly come forward and made a settlement. U was not until late in August or early in Septemler that Mr. Rainwater's suspicions were aroused. One day while in New Yorkcitv with a St Louis gentleman on business of mutual interest he received a couple of telegrams which, contrary to his custom, he did not pass over to be read. He seemed much worried. The next day he received another. The news j was bad. He turned to his friend and I said: Tin afraid that my bookkeeper iias been robbing me. "Von are afraid? Do you believe it?" "I don't want to. I would have trusted that man to the end of the world. Experts at work on tho books report things in a bad way." The next day the two friends came home. Last Tuesday morning he met his friend, and said in a despairing tone: '4 "That scoundrel has robled rae of over 100,000. How much more I can't tell. It may le 125,000 or $150,000, or it may le 17.i,000 there is no telling." lie then admitted that over three weeks ago he charged Silva with his embezzlement. The cashier broke down and pleaded miserably for mercy, and offered to turn over everything he had. He made transfers of all the property he owns, "lie seems to have it all over town, said 3Ir. Rainwater," but investigation shows that every foot and every brick of it is heavily encumbered, and our equities in it, all told, will not exceed I,000." The transfers had been made out and signed by him, but lacked his wife's signature. They were sent out to her, butshe knew nothing of his affairs, and refused to append her name to the paper that mado her a pauper. On Tuesday night last Attorney Overall, with a notary, met Silva, in the presence of his wife. He had told her some story that the firm was in trouble, and that her signature to the deeds was necessary, as a matter f form, to tide them over, or some story like that At any rate, she signed tho documents. Simou L. Hooghcr, one of the members of the firm, about ayear ngifwlth drew from tho firm under peculiar cip cumstauces. "Major," he is reported to have said "yon are not giving this company enough of your time. Yon ought to be hero looking after the men instead of mixing up in outside schemes." "What do yon want for your stock?" Rainwater is said to have replied. Hooghcr as promptly fixed a figure. The interview did not Inst over live minutes, and at the end of that tine lloogher censed to be a member of the firm, lloogher, however, within hlf vear had bouirht Imckjiis stock.

HARRISUN'S MISTAKE.

Th. ll-lVrl.lrnr Krronroua Ylwa mm Ilia KroTBt llrfrat. ExdYesidiyit l.enjamin Harrison Ls manifestly a bourbon of tho bourbons. He never learns, nor does he forget. Tutored in the school of the Dudleys and the Quays, he has imbibed the idea that the American people arc venal, ami timid, and easily deprived of their rights. He also believes that they aro not a progressive people, and that the returns of one election should be a true index of the returns of all subsequent elections; that the republican party of to-day ought to manifest as much strength as it did while in the heyday of its power under the leadership of men of mental grasp and moral standing. He is evidently conscious of the fact that the republican party has not progressed, except, perhaps, backward, and complains bitterly at the advancement of the people, which has left that Organization far in the rear. It is not surprising that Mr. Harrison should look upon the repeal of the federal election laws as a step in the wrong direction. He should know that the machinery of the government has in the past been employed to prevent the 1 free expression of the will of the American people, and that that fact accounts for past republican majorities in sections of the country that arc normally democratic This is true of the state of Tennessee, to which he referred in a recent inverview with a Chicago reporter. He complains that in a section which gave Itlainc a considerable majoritj In J8S4 he himself received but a minority of the votes. He overlooks the fact that lllaine was a magnetic popular man with the masses of the people, while he is the reverse a cold, unsympathetic, selfsufficient egotist, personally rcpcllant to all with whom he comes in contact lllaine was a peerless leader of men, who often won victory by the sheer brilliancy and audacity of his tactics; Harrison is a man of fciuggish nature a plodder and a schemer, who looks to others to lead, and is content to place himself at their mercy. Tennessee was not the only state that repudiated Harrison while it accepted Blaine. Illinois gave lllaine a majority of nearly twenty-six thousand, while it gave to Cleveland over Harrison a plun1.n. r-.... .1..... .....1 This change in public sentiment was ' not due to intimidation of voters, for at the date of the last election Illinois had a republican state government, and republican supervisors of election were in charge of all the polling places in Chicago and other large cities. The Aus tralian ballot system prevented tho in-J tunidation of voters so long practiced by republican employers of labor and republican politicians, and us a consequence the vote cast represented more freely than ever before the deliberate intention of the electors. Mr. Harrison must look elsewhere than to "the suppression of the vote" of negroes and other republicans for a reason for his defeat last fall. It was due to a general distrust of the people in his party a distrust that has been constantly growing for years, and has been fostered and confirmed by the persistent refusal of the party to redeem its pledges; by its constant impositions of hardship upon the masses for the benefit of the favored monopolists; by its persistent espousal of dangerous financial theories and economic doctrines. These things, added to the personal unpopularity of its candidate for the presidency, combined to accomplish its overthrow. It was not the suppression, but the casting of the full vote of the country, that brought about the overthrow of Mr. Harrison and his party. -St Paul Globe. A RETALIATION POLICY. Hurtful Effects of the McKinley Bill am American Iatareat' President Harrison issued proclamations laying retaliatory duties on certain products of Venezuela, Colombia and llayti, as provided by the .McKinley act, because those countries refused to make such reciprocity dickers as he deemed satisfactory. It was soon perceived that these retaliatory duties were at least as hurtful to American interests as they were to the interests of the countries against which they were directed. This result, which economists had foreseen, was well known to the new administration, and it was understood that the retaliatory proclamations would be promptly rescinded The statement was made in March that the president was strongly inclined cither to rescind the proclamations or to abandon the entire reciprocity business and treat all countries alike. Hut for various reasons he decided to postpone action. For one thing, there was a possibility, at least, that the withdrawal of the proclamations might call forth 1 strong protests and even retaliatory I measures from some of the countries with which reciprocity dickers had been made, and it was deemed advisable not to cause unnecessary irritation. Hut a more potent consideration was the fact that congress was expected sooa to revise the whole tariff system and adopt a new policy with respect to our foreign trade relations. As that was the case, it was deemed advisable not to make a change by executive action which might soon be followed by another change by legislative action. According to a Washington dispatch, there has of late been a special reason for postponing executive action. More revenue must be raised from rornc source. It may be raised in part by means of a duty on sugar. It would ' look like a very fickle policy to abolish the duty imposed by tho retaliatory proclamations and soon after rchnpose it wholly or in part by act of congress. The suggestion is made that it might be advisable for the ways and means committee to settle the sugar question promptly and then induce tho state de-! partment to proceed upon the assumption that the committee's decision will be accepted by congress. That plan is not likely to be adopted. Secretary Oresham will hardly actupon the assumption that the decision of tbe committee will be the decision of coaffreea. If the majority in the senkte im ffotaf to accept It M settled that aothlaf ou be done by that body so loffM

the minority sujs no, there will lie ua tariff legislation of any importance. The republican Chicago Tribune states plainly what will happen: "In the course of time tho house, which still legislates, will send up a bill to repeal or seriously modify the McKinley law. The republican minority will say that it must not nass." Tho majority has decided that it is helpless against mining-camp selfishness; it will find itself equally helpless against mill-boss selfishness, anil there will be no tariff reform unless the majority finds a way to govern. The president und the secretary of state understand that perfectly, and they are not going to act upon the assumption that tho senate will concur in the passage of any tariff bill tout uia3 be sent over from the house. Chicago Herald. A CRYING NEED.

Ailtlltlunal Ilurdrn Imposed by tan l'rutcctlon Sjrutrm. Western and southern staple producers never needed a tariff for revenue more than now. A tariff for revenue Is equivalent to a reduced cost of transportation both ways. Every farmer knows what reduced transportation charges do for the movement of crops and the purchase of goods. Farm debts never pressed more heavily and farm profits were never more unsatisfactory. Wheat prices drag. Cotton is no better, and the big packing houses have claimed that they must cut down expenses. These aro the three great sources of our export trade. For seventy j'ears tho tariff question has been the same how much the staple producers could be charged for the support of government and the maintenance of certain lines of manufacture. Not only how much actual money they should pay, but how much restriction of trade they could stand. Radical additions to taxation and restriction have been mudo without notice to the staple producers. The imposition of new burdens in 1SSU and 18t)0 was made when all the pledget out were for reduction. In spite of thnt habitual treatment the agricultural states do not ask for an immediate blotting out of all protection. Their expectation is that a democratic ways and means committee will present a bill whose guiding purpose will be the encouragement of trade and production. The raising of revenue necessitates some protection as long as we have a tariff of any kind. We can stand that much protection, and not a great deal more. It has always been the case heretofore, when a tariff bill is in course of preparation, that the country hears a great deal about the effect on the protected industries. This time we have a rijrht to hear less about that and more about cheap transportation and the encouraging effect on export industries. When the ways and means committee in its experiments gets to a bill for the merchants, farmers, school-teachers, preachers, lawyers, carpenters, masons and blacksmiths it can stop right there. That bill will be good enough. St. Louis Republic. NOTES AND COMMENTS. A democratic president, a democratic congress, a democratic state administration throughout and a democratic legislature! Verily, the democratic hosts at Saratoga have cause for rejoicing. Albany Argus. Among the business men and manufacturers who are the chief supporters of protection, the financial issue Ls held to be so much the more important that, if they had to choose between the two, they would sacrifice protection to save the currency from debasement Portland Oregonian (Rep.). Mr. Reed says nobody cares what a tin-pail costs. Why, then, did tho makers of tin-plate go to congress and get a bill passed that raised the price of tin-plate from 14. JO to tö.3ö a box? It seems that there wero some people then who cared a great deal about the price of tin-plate, and, incidentally, of all that is made of that material, tinpails included. Louisville Courier-Journal. It Ls a little singular that tho much talked-about "democratic hatred of the negro" did not prevent the nomination and confirmation of Charles II. J. Taylor, a prominent colored man of St Louis, as United States minister to Bolivia. To be sure, Mr. Taylor is a man of good moral character and intellectual ability; but ho is a negro, and, if republican papers arc to be believed, that fact alone is sufficient to disqualify him in tho eyes of democrats. SL Paul Globe. Whltolaw Reid's idea that the result of election may be mitigated by a petition presented to those who were successful in the polling by those who were beaten, that the whole current of events may lie changed, is a novelty. Perhaps Mr. Whitelaw Reid will next propose that a petition bo presented to congresi asking that congress reconsider its finding that Mr. Stevenson was elected vice president of the United States and proceed to declare that Mr. Whitelaw Reid was really the successful person and therefore must now preside in the senate. Just as effectually as the election of IS'J'i disposed of the ambition of Whitelaw Reid for the vice presidency it disposed also of the claim of McKinlcyism for further consideration. Chicago Times. Some of the shallow and callow republican organs throughout tho country keep up the campaign pretense that the business depression is duo to the result of the last election. Are not tariff and other taxes just as high as the republicans left them? Is not tho treasury still suffering from tho republican deficiency? Is not the gold reserve just about as "Calico Charlie" left it? Aro not tho compulsory silver purchases still going on under a law passed by exclusively republican votes and signed by a republican president? What has changed except the incumbency of the higher offices and the purpose of the government in relation to the wrongs and tho evils whick the people condemned? Too many partisan journals are conducted ob the theory that tbt fode are fools. X. Y. World.
