rotected cruiser. She is built of steel, twin screws, and displaces 3,710 tons, She ia rigged with two military masts, on each of which are two revolving cannon. The vessel ia armed with two 8inch br«ocb-lcMidingr rillM of tb© latest

Kttern,

mounted in half turrets in the wand stern. Besides these there are six 0-inch rifles. three on each side, firing from behind shield#, and two rapid-fire guile. The crew consists of about 300 men. She waa built by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, and on her trial of speed made an average of eighteen and one-half knots. She can steam 2,500 miles without recoaling, at a speed of ten knots an hoar. Sh^has been in commission about a year and a half and br» made two round trips to Hawaii.

The Esmerelda was built in England

It will thus be seen that with the exception of the two heavy guns, which are two inches greater in the bore on the Esmerelda than on tbe Charleston, the conditions are very even. The difference in these guns is not thought to be a matter of much consequence, as in a close fight a "six-Inch shot can do practically as much damage to these "paper ships" as one of twice the bore. The only advantage that accrues to a ten-inch gun over one of eight niches lies Inn slightly greater range, perhaps half a mile. But to a swift ship and in an open sea this means little. Then, too, the American guns are later, and are said to be more powerful and effective than the Armstrong, which could not have been made later thnn 1884, since which time great strides have been made in the art of gun founding.

file commander, Captain George 0. Kemey, has a fine reputation, and on all sides one hears praisesof him from fellow officers, who are less apt to praise than to blame. He Is thought to be thoroughly qualified for such an errand, possessing great discretion and excellent judgment, as well as unusual fighting powers and tendencies. He is one man in fifty for a semi-diplomatic oaase like this, his friends tssert. His brother. Colonel W. A. Remoy, is judge advocfit general of the navy, and his family lives in this city,

HaTsbMnBcpesIed.

Kx-Judge J. M. Allen, who was recent ly elected mayor of this city on tbe dem ocratic ticket has got himself into a pretty pickle. Last night wes the first meet ing of the new city council and it was also the first opportunity thajadge has ever had of sitting in the mayor's chair The flut meeting that he ever presided over and in trouble already! This is a bad record for the new mayor. It is the first time that such a thing has ever occurred in Terro Haute. It hap* pened in this way. Tbe judge is a law yer and knowe the law ptetty well. He

before the election that ht

would be. Now the question naturally

She is built of steel, hat? two screws, and presented itself to the judge of how he developes 0»5OO be se-power, making on mate trouble for the members of her trial 11 28 knots. .She carries600 tons ,, ... ,. coal and hai an endurance of 2,200 knots council who do not agree with bim politically. Tbe thing was not very hard to do—so the judge thought—and he at once set about to do it.

at ten knots an hour. She is armed with two 10-inch twentj -five-ton Armstrong breech-loading rifles and six 0-inch fourton Armstrong breech-londing rifles. Her secondary battery consists of two rapidfire guns and six machine guns.

J^i«o happened that Dr. Larkina, member of the council from the Fifth ward, had a patient who commanded his attention for several hours yesterday evening, and he was consequently (nearly an hour late in arriving at the city building where he hastened. soon as possible in order to be present at the meeting of the council. When be arrived there.a big surprise party was awaiting him. He nearly lost his breath when he waa informed that there was no meeting of the council— that the mayor had declared the meeting adjourned. Explanations were in order, and after some little time the surprised doctor member from tbe Fifth was made fully cognisant of the facts in the case. There is not a precedent for such an action on the part of the mayor, and tBe whole Btgry will very likely prove very interesting junt at this time.

It seems that when the members of the couneil began to assemble at the city building the word was passed around among the democratic members that Dr. Lark ins would not be present and that time had come for the King ordinance to be repealed. It was said that an ordinance would be introduced as soon as the session bad fairly begun to repeal the ordinance which hes proven so odious to the saloon men and their trends in tbe council, and that owing to tbe absence of Hess, who was out of the city, and Dr. Larkins tbe vote would stand five to five leaving the deciding vote for the mayor to cast. As it was not known then that the supreme court had decided the King ordinance valid Judge Allen would in all probablity have voted far its repeal, and it was so understood by the several members of the council who were present whoa the word was given out.

The only thinf, then, for the republicans to do was to send for Dr. Larkins, and to get him there a« soon possible. This w»«» done, and in the meantime the republicans went Into taucus in one of the rooms in the building, to determine what action should be taken in the promisee. As might be readily supposed, the republican member* of the council did not want to have any action taken that would reflect upon the republican council and their deliberations in the caucus consumed considerable

It was a small piece of the dirtiest kind of partisan trickery and would only be expected from some shyster who had not the courage or honor to make a fignt on fair and square issues. It must be borne in mind that the absent members were not staying away in order to obstruct legislation, or for- any of the reasons set forth in the section quoted above, but were sini|dy holding a caucus for the purpose of deciding upon some form of concerted action and had not been notified that the meeting had been called to order. #hen the republican members came out of the canons only a few minute3 after 8 o'clock they were in formed of the action tfe*t had! by the mayor. 3?wheii*e&e surprise#,*^ air*-V ceremony to know why Judger- -W V. the meeting adjourned. One uot knowing that the judge was trying to weave a net about each and every one of them, and never dreaming that such tactics would be reported to jokingly remarked: "It was a great joke that we played on old man Allen."

The whole scheme was exposed this morning by the saloon'men, who vociferously explained to everybody that the republican councilmen were "a set of law breakers themselves, and worse than any saloon man could be." Several of the democratic attorneys also had a finger in tbe pie, and seemed to think it a very smart and honorable trick. Thev were on the street! this morning peddling the news wholesale and free of charge. The majority of tbe republican councilmen will be surprised to hear that Judge Allen ever stooped to do such a contemptible trick.

'THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED.'

Roll Call and Adjournment la nil La«t Nljcht's Connell Heetlns. Last night's council meeting wes beauty. In fact it was out of Bight that is, the republican members to a man were out of sight and remained so until Mayor Allen adjourned the meeting for want of quorum. From half ppst 7 until the time when the meeting was called there was no end of button-holeing, corner whispering, winking and moving about Every one about the city building had their suspicions that all wei not right, but they did not know until later what the matter. The republicans were holding small caucuses all over the house and the democrats held a big caucus in the mayor's office. The trouble was that two" of the republican members, Hess and Larkins were absent, and the republicans not having a quorum decided to join the whole snap and they did it When Mayor Allen called the meeting to order there were five present, all democrats, and seven absent all republicans. The latter were stowed snugly away in the city engineer's offiee and aft*sr roll call Mayor Allen said: "As there no quorm present the meeting is adjourned." The democrats did not betray what they felt in the matter end passed smilingly from the halL

Advices from Vienna say the situation in Servia is critical. Disturbance news comes from the Bulgarian frontier. The position ofaf fairs there has not been more alarming at any time since 18S5. There is great activity in military circles,

VIENNA, May 20.—Queen Natalie h*s received an enthusiastic welcome in Hungary, where she has chartered a steamer in order to go by the Danube, which will permit a demonstration on tbe shores. At Semlin, Hungary, the excitement over her presence has been intense. She was cheered by the throngs on the street when she embarked from there to-day and her progress WPS like a torchlight procession. Toterday she was called upon by large numbers of prominent ladles who presented her with bouquets and gave other expressions of sympathy. She is now going to Bucharest

Stimisawt mov-iv-ibng in the local courts as was upctfiary to get the cc:e in tbe desired {hagfe, and he then filed affidavits asking for api appeal to the supreme court Afte§a little deliberation, a day or two, the appeal was granted and up she wenfcto t&e court of last resort. Yesterday the»3jttpreaie court, landed down its opinicwWSne case and the actual decision in the injunction is this: 10,319. Robert P. Davis et al, vs. Daniel fksig. Vigo C. C. Reversed. Miller,

Ptxjeeding to enjoin the mayor, marshal! chief of ©olice and city attorney of Tern Hau'a from hearing de* jrmininp, or prosecuting any action to recover penalties inderan ordinance requiring saloons 15 cljse at 11 o'clock and on Sundays. 1. An unsuccessful application by appellants in the court below to dissolve the injunction is not ground for dismissal herej 2. {Where ^he record shows that the cause was subtoitted to the court upon thelacts alleged in the complaipt, and the ipourt finds for the plaintiff and granfi an injunction until the validity of the ordinance shall have been finally determined, there was a final termination of the suit frofa which an appeal could be taken. 3. When the plaintiff does not point out any particular provision in the ordinance that infringes upon his rights or privileges in order to justify a court in declaring an ordinance void, it must be void, not simply in some of its provisions, but void In toto. The ordinance in question if not subject to. anv of the objections chared in the complaint, and the court erred in granting the injunction.

City Attorney Stimson this morning said that this practically determined the validitv of the ordinance. Going further he said: "I'll answer you by telling you a short story." "A little boy had treed a rabbit up a hollow log and a big boy coming along and seeing him poke a stick up the log, made fun at him and said, "You'll p^ver scare iat rabbit out/' "Well,"'eaid the little fellow, "I've get this stick punched up th' ajud twisted it in his fur and if he don't come out pretty soon, his skin will come." And ttu city attorney walked away chuckling.

Desiring to know Judge Taylor's opinregard to the action of the supreme court a NEWS reporter approached him

as he sat upt tbe bench in the circuit court room this morning, and asked, "Judge, how far does the decision of the supreme court in the Fesig injunction suit hold the King ordinance valid?" "It declares the ordinance valid In every respect," was tbe ansir§£. Continuing he said, "This court should not haye granted the injunction. I was wrong in doing so, hut it was one of those predicaments where a comt will be placed occasionally. I think that the supreme court decided right If their opinion of the case is ssl think it is they are correct. You can say this in your paper for me that this court does not blame the stubbornness of the attorneys who would not let me finish crse." As Judge Taylor laid this his face gave unmistakable evidence that he was very very sore over tho action of the lawyers. "Can City Attorney Stimson now start ia and fully enforce the ordinance?" asked the scribe. "Yes, he can prosecute it to the fullest extent '•Now, how abcut this Madigan case? That has been taken from the county on a change of venue

Well, Mr. Stimson can proceed immediately to prosecute the ca»se in the Brazil courts, the c*se having gone to Ciay county.

In other w€vds. Judge Taylor acknowledged that Mr. Stimson was a free man now in every respect, without a string of any description tied to him, and this being tbe case, the red-mouthed, deepvoiced dogs of war will all be turned loose as soon as possible.

Modern humanity has larger heada and shorter legs than the ancients. A genius in York, Fa., haa invented a combined piano and washing machine.

Thomas A. Edison says tbe secret ol success ia to do bat one thing at a time. A shingle machine that will turn oat ninety shingles per minute is awaiting a patent at Du Bo is, Pa.

IuJErj-nee hard water has been suoosssfuily made soft by iaean» of electrolysis, the method ueod being comparatively inexpensive.

The result of the efforts made to preserve piling by a process of cresoting is very satisfactory, and sbtfira that the wood is kept in as good aostate.as when first put in the water. *v

It has been concluded that with a balloon 880 feet long, with a maximum diameter of 55 feet, a speed of So to SO miles can be attained. At the same time it is thought that the problem of flight ia mora likely to be solved by means of an aeroplane than with the balloon.

It is stated that at Big Stone Gap, Va., the electric lights are used in a novel way. The town as laid off is two miles wide and five miles long, and all^fcbis space ia lit up by electric lights, so that the people hunt 'possums and 'coons in the woods by the light of the electric lamps.

An interesting and useful application of electricity has recently appeared in a device attached to a Bteering compass for giving an alarm when a vessel is off her course. When the circuit is completed a bell is rung which warns the steersman or the captain that the ship's direction haa been changed.

The dam porpoises are said to help their young in tbeir efforts to brentho by bearing them up to the surface of the water on their flippers. Yhe spiracle, or blowhole, appears to-be a sensitive part of tbe head, for when touched with the hand tbe porpoise invariable shows signs of great discomfort by lashing the tail violently.

A prominent civil engineer has expressed the opinion that safety from derailment at very high speeds would be best secured by very slightly curving the line of road just sufficiently to cause the flanges of the wheels to bear constantly against one side. With that construction he considers that any possible speed that could be got from electric motors, say up to 200 miles an hour, would be perfectly safe.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

The Epworth league of the Methodist Bpiaoopal church has a membership of over 850,000 and increases rapidly every day.

The society for the propagation of the gospel reports an increase of about $196,000 for 1890 over 1889, the total in 1890 amounting to $821,910.

Mississippi haa produced an evangelist of the Sam Jones order. His name is Paine, and his platform is tersely stated in the declaration, "The devil must go."

The total number of volumes issued by the American Bible society for the year ending March 31 was 1,502,642. This does not include publications in other lands.

A Mussulman is now traveling through India collecting money for a Mohammedan mission to England. Part of the money is to be spent in building a mosque at Liyerpool.

Dr. W. H. Roberta, American statistical •ecretary of the,- Presbyterian alliance, computes that Presbyterians and reformed denominations throughout the world have 80,265,500 adherents.

The Icelandic Lutheran congregations ia Manitoba and tbe northwestern states recently celebrated the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the translation of the scriptures into Icelandic.

The students of English universities have formed a foreign' mission union. The members are those who hope to devote their lives, to the foreign work and 105 have already enrolled themselves.

Dr. Phillips Brooks of Boston, the justly celebrated Protestant Episcopal divine, is not a favorite in the race for the vacant bishopric of Boston. Many of his' friends do not cara to see him accept the nomination because it would limit his power. On the other hand there are many who wish Mm to accept it on the ground that his taint of radicalism will thus be eliminated by curtailing his utterances.

CIKCI.VNWTI, May 20.—The sesaoru of the National Industrial Convention were resumed to-day in Music hall. The draft of the political platform has been prepared, and will probably be submitted to the body to-day. It contains no less than twenty-four planks. It boldly demands the abolition of national bank currency and the substitution of legal tender notee, and insists upon the free coinage of silver, emphasises as an immediate necessity the issue of a national currency assorts that the federal government should own, control, and operate all mean* of transportation and communication, and demands the abolition of contract labor altogether With equal pay for equal work regardless of sex. The revision of the immigration laws is urged, the piesent legislation being regarded as iiwdequKta and stringency in the examinaiiouwf ai^ riving immigrants is demanded in no uncertain language. One plank of the pUtform farors tho. establishment of government depositories through which may be lent to the people. Another recommends a graduated land tax and an income tax, while alien ownership of land is denounced. Congress is asked to enact laws prohibiting speculative dealings in agricuJturalan4mechanical products. It is contended that the government should control all patent monopolies, and thai postmasters and United States senators should bo elected by the direct vote of the people. A lengthy plank deals with the arms act and favors the equalization of the ditlerences in the pay of the soldiers $nd sailors of the late war. Another dank favors free speech, free schools, tee books, and, if neceseaiy, free clothes and education for indigent pupils. Women's suffrage is heartily commended, but the platform has nothing to say on the prohibition question. It indorses, however, the municipal ownership of gas, electric lighting and street care, as being necessary to the welfare of the people.

The delegates to the industrial conference from Kentucky held a meeting in Covington this morning to nominate candidates for the state oflices. It is proble matical who will hold the ticket, b'»t they assert that Brown is unpopular with the farmers and will lose a heavy democratic vote which will go to the new party. Powderly's epeech last night caused much uneasinoes among the advocates of the third party movement, and a split from the conference by.the Knights of Labor delegates is freely predicted. At any rate, there will be a hot fight over the labor pknk in the platform.

The report of the committee on credentials shows 1417 delegates present. Tho convention got slowly to work amid the continual roar of conversation, the rustle of papers, the tread of incoming feet that came determinedly in from every door. Scores of documents urging the doctrine and pushing that scheme were handed each delegate as he entered. A glee club asked stentoriously that its mortgaged farm he brought back to it. At. last the temporary chairman called tbe conference to order, or attempted to do so. It had become the fashion to appeal everything, no matter what, and when tho minister came forward to offer prayer, the fashion again prevailed, and a round of applause sent a smile across his face. The prayer was a massive structure. It contained a history of the United States, the christian era and the fufcure. and at tho conclusion was greeted with more applause, whether of approbation or relief has not yet been decided.

The first sensation has been sprung. Among the secretaries named was Helen M. G-ouger, of Indiana, tho noted temperance orator. Just before the announcment Burkhauser, chairmen of the local committee on entertainment, had asked the convention to take a lunch with him at noon at "a btoom factory" and Mrs. Gouger came to the platform and denounced Burkhauser and repudiried her nomination. She hit the liquor business square between the eyes, hhe WPI madly cheered. Among the vice-presidents are Gen. Weaver and Ignatius Donnelly. The chief secretary ia W. L. Morgan, of Arkansas. Senator Pfeffer, in a speech, advocated the third party.
