THE TWO WAR VESSELS.

A t'omparlMD of lb« CharlMton ®B4 E*m«r«ld*-Kv«nt7 B»I»B««1.

A Washington special to the New York World give® the following description of the Charleston and Esmeralda SLould the Charleston encounter the Esmeralda, and sit engagement follow, the outcome

place there could hardly be a better, closer match. Both ships are of the unarmored Bdrt, armed with medium guns, and built for high speed on spurts. A comparison is interesting. $

The Charleston is a second-rate craft, and is what is known as an unarmored protected cruiser. She is built of steel, has twin screws, and displaces 3,710 ions. She is rigged with two military masts, on each of which are two revolving can-

Xush.

OII

The vessel is armed with two 8-btwMh-loidliog rMmm of the tatest pattern, mounted in half turrets in the oow and stern. Besides these there are six 0-inch rfltes, three on each Hide, firing from behind shields, and two rapid-fire guns. The crew consists of about 300 in en. She was built by the Union Iron Works of Kan 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 hour. She has been in contra it-Hion about a year and a half and b»i. made two round trips to Hawaii.

The coin man dor, Captain George O. Remey, has a fine reputation, and on all sides one hears praises of him from fellow officers, who are less apt to praise than to blame. He Is thought to lie 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 ouaae like this, his friends assert. His brother, Colonel W. A. Remey, is iudge advocat general of the navy, and his family lives in this city.

The Earaerelda was built in England for the Chilian Government and launched in 1S83, so that she is at lerst six

yearH

older than the Charleston. She bss 3,000 tons misplacement, is 270 feet long, 40 feet beam, with 18 feet 3 inches draught. She is built of ateel, ha* two screws, and developes 0,600 he ee-(ower, making on her trial 11 *28 knots. She carries BOO tons coal and has an endurance of 2,200 knots at ten knots an hour. She is armed with two 10-inch twent)-five-ton Armstrong breech-loading rifles and six 6-inch fourton Armstrong breech-loading rifles. Her secondary battery consists of two rapidOre guns and six machine guns.

It will thus be seen that with the exception of the two heavy guns, which are two inches greater in the bore on tho Esmerelda than on the Charleston, the conditions are very oven. The difference in these guns is not thought to bo 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 ncornos to a ten-inch gun over one of eight inches iies in slightly greater range, perhaps half a mile. But to a swift ship and in an open sea this means little. Theu, too, the American guns are later, and are said to be more powerful and effective than the ArmBiron,#}, which could not have been made Inter than 1884, since which time great strides have been made in the art of gun founding.

OCT A SI SOLE BECEOEIdT.

H«vt b««n BepMled.

Ex-Judge J. M. Alien, who was recently elected mayor of this city on tbe dera ecratic ticket has got himself into a pretty pickle. Last night was the first meeting of the new city council and it was also the first opportunity the jo3ge has ever had of sitting in the mayor's chair. The fir at 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. The judge is a law yer and knowe the law pr.etty well. He is also a democrat and is notinsympatl witli the majority of the jaew council as he hoped before the election that he would be. Now the question naturally presented itself to the judge of how he could make trouble for the members of tho council who do not agree with him politically. Tbe thing was not very hard to do—so the judge thought—and he at once set about to do it. .ffitio happened that Pr. Larkios, member 6i the council from tho Fifth ward, bad & 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, as soon as possible in order to be present at the meeting of the council. When be arrived there.a big Burprise party was awaiting him. He nearly lost his breath when he was informed that there was no nieetingof the council— that the mayor had declared tho meeting adjourned. Explanations were in order, and after some little time the surprised doctor member from tbe Fifth was made folly cognizant of the facts in the case. There is not a precedent for such an action on the part of the mayor, and the whole styry will very likely prove very interesting just at this time.

It seems that when the members of the council began to assemble at the city building the word was passed around among tbe democratic members that Pr. 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 had fairly begun to repeal the ordinance which bus proven so odious to the saloon men and their frends in tbe council, and that owing to the absence of Hess, who was out of the city, and Pr. Ijarkins the vote would stand five to five leaving the deciding vote for the mayor to cast. As it wan not known then that the supreme court had decided the King ordinance valid Judge Allen would in all probablity haw voted far its repeal, and it was so understood by the several members of the council who were present whe-tt the word was given out.

The only thing, then, for the republicans lo do was to »end for Pr. Urkins, and to get him there as soon possible. This was done, and in the meantime the republicans went into fcaucus in one of the rooms in the building, to determine what action should be taken in the promises. 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 time. The h»«r of celling the council meeting to order arrived but the deliberations of the caucus not having been concluded and Pr. Larkins not yet having appeared on the seene it was pretty hard for the republican members to decide on an definite line oi action. Time was thus allowed to slip bv unnoticed and before long the hour of 8 was at hand.

Judge Allen sat in the mayor's chair aud fisitad and squirmed. He sat first on one side and then on the other,he cros»ed hh right teg over his left and then his left over h'» righk He ran his fingers through his hair and glared in an expectant manner at the big door. Then he began to get tt«d and nervously fingered his .vel *i*ile his far** Unshed and bis ihungdown th ugh he wasfclasb at own thoughts and was afraid to took any one ie the toco. Finally be summoned up courage, looked over the ooancil chamber and then hurriedly rapped lor order. He had thought of a law under which it miitht be pocs to prosecute tb1 nen ^~rs of •"rirat who were not jMh nt, of wh f*r from him politically. Now the thing for him to do wtr cn" meeting to *^er and deel*-• It »ed lor want ft ouotiim and get everybody out of the mat qs.' 'ssfbte* tear the absent eertr_ u. That wsa hi* only hope of making the law in any $*» sit* mm ap "*bl* to their case. It «u^ ii« same, iwew, and ove been it mast be carried *ttt» The law th** judge tailed to mind was the ioiw*tu&

It was a small piece of the dirtieBt kind of partisan trickery and would only be expected from some shyster who had not the courags or honor to make a fight on fair and square iseuee. It must be borne in mind that the absent members were not staving away in order to obstruct legislation, or for any of the reasons set forth in the Bection quoted above, but were simply 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. vVhen the republican members came out of the caueus only a few minutes after 8 o'clock they were in formed of the action tfe#t had Vby the mayor.

the meeting adjourned. One of tbem not knowing that the judge was trying to weave a net about each and every one of tbem, and never dreaming that such tactics would be reoorted 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 vocifer ously explained to everybody that tbe republican councilmen were "a set of law breakers themselves, and worse than anyaaloon man could be." Several of the democratic attorneys also had a finger in the pie, and seemed to think it a very smart and honorable trick. Thev were on tbe street! this morning ped dling the news wholesale and free of charge. The majority of tho 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 i« all of La«t SilKbt*« Conncil Heeling.

Last night's council meeting we$ beauty. In fact it was out of sight 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 p?^t 7 until the time when the meeting WPS called there ws9 no end of button-holeing, corner whispering, winking and moving about Every one about the city building had their suspicions that all

WPI

not

right, but they did not know until later what the matter. The republicans were holding sinall-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, Heei 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 office and aft"*r voll call Mayor Allen said: "As there is no quorm present the meeting is adjourned." The demccrats did not betray what they felt in the matter end passed smilingly from the hall

The Kiqg ordinance is not dead by any me&ni On. :he contrary it isnpand creating qrite a stir to-day since Judge Millar of uJABupreme court stirred it np yesterdayiind gave it a boost by declare ing that t$e Fas'ig injunction should not have beeijgranted to prevent Gity Attorney Stinnett from prosecuting all violators of tip?: King ordinance.

cision in tbe injunction is this: 164)19. Robert P. Pavis etal, vs. Paniel Ssig. Vigo 0. C. Reversed. Miller,

Ptjceeding to enjoin the mayor, maishall chief of nolice and city attorney of Terife Haufg from hearing def jrmining, or prosecuting any action to recover penalties inderan ordinance requiring saloons 15 ellse at 11 o'clock and on SumNys. 1. An unsuccessful application by appellahts in the court below to dissolve the injunction is not ground for dismissal here] 2. Where ihe record shows that the cause was submitted to the court upon the Tacts alleged in the complaint, and the court finds for the plaintiff and grann an injunction until the validity of the ordinance Bhall bave been finally detera^ncd, there was a final termination of thb suit frpfa which an appeal could be tdken. 3.' When the plaintiff does not point out any particular provision in the ordinance that iufringes 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 Jn toto. The ordinance in question is not subject to. any of the objections chared in the complaint, and the court erred in granting tne 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'il. ^ver scare iat rabbit out. ''Well," said, the little fellow, "I've get this stick punched up th' 'e aiid twisted it in his fur and if he don't come out pretty soon, his skin Mill come." And tha city attorney walked away chuckling.

Pesiring to know Judge Tavlor's opinion in regard to the action of the supreme court a NEWS reporter approached him as he eat up( the bench in the circuit court room this morning, and asked, "Judge, how far does the decision of the supreme court in the Fssig injunction suit hold the King ordinance valid?" "It declares the ordinance valid in every respect," was the answer- Continuing he said, "This court should not haye granted the injunction. I was wrong in doing sa.but it was one of those predicaments where a couit will be placed occasionally. I think that the supreme court decided right If their tpinion of tbe case is as I 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 .e cne." As Judge Taylor laid this his face gave unmistakable evidence that he was very vpry sore over tho action of the lawyerik "Can City Attorney Stimson now start id and fully enforce tho ordinance?" asked the scribe. "Yes. he can prosecute it to the fullest extent.

Now, how about this Madigan case? That has been taken from the county on a change of venue." "Well, Mr. Stimson can proceed immediately to prosecute the cese in tbe Brazil courts, the c*«e having gone to Clay county.

In other wflhls. JndgeTaylor 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-monthed, deepvoiced dogs of war will all be turned loose as soon as possible.

Ja JVance hard water haa been suocoaafully made soft by means of eleetrolysia, the method uaed being comparatively inexpensive.

Tbe result of the efforts made to preserve piling by a process of cresoting is very satisfactory, and shCVs that the wood iskept in as good ajstate.as when first put in the water.

It has been concluded that with a balloon 830 feet long, with a maximum diameter of 55 feet, a speed of 25 to 30 miles can be attained. At the same time it is thought that the problem of flight is more likely to be solved by means of an aeroplane than with the balloon.

It is stated that ac Big Stone Oap, Va., the electric lights are used in a novel way. The town as laid off is two miles wide and five miles long, and alibis space is lit up by electric lights, so that the people hunt 'possums and 'coons iu 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 steering 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 has been changed.

The dam porpoises are said to help their young iu their efforts to breathe by bearing them up-to the surface of the water on their flippers. The spiracle, or blowhole, appears to lo a sensitive part of the head, for when touched with the hand the 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 electrio motors, say up to 200 miles aa hour, would be perfectly safe.

RELIQIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

The Epworth league of the Methodist Episoopal 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 $190,000 for 1S90 over 1880, the total in 1890 amounting to 8821,910.

Mississippi has produced an evangelist of the Bam 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 tbe money is to be spout in building a mosque at Liverpool.

Dr. W, H. Robert^, American statistioal secretary of the Presbyterian alliance, oomputes that Presbyterians and reformed denominations throughout tho world have 90,265,500 adherents.

Tbe Icelandic Lutheran congregations in Manitoba and tbe northwestern states recently celebrated the' three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the translation ot 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 165 bave already enrolled themselves.

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

One plank of the pletform favors tho establish ment 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 agricultural and^mechanical products. It is contended tb'at the government Bhould control all patent monopolies, and that postmiisters and I'uitea States senators should be elected by the direct vote ol* the people. A lengthy plauk deals with the arms act and favors the equalization of the diilcrences in the pay of tbe soldiers qnd sailors of the late war. Another plank favors free speech, free schools, free books, and, if necessaiy, free clothes and education for indigent pupils.

Ttie delegates to the industrial conference from Kentucky held a meeting in Covington this morning to nominate candidates for the state ofliccs. It, is prcble matical who will hold the ticket, Int 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 uneasiness among the advocates of the third party movement, and a split from the conference by.tbe Knights of Labor delegates is freely predicted. At any rate, there will be a hot fight over the labor plank in the platform.

The report of tbe committee on credentials showB 1417 delegates present. The 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 overy 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 be brought back to it. At last the temporary chairman called the conference to order, or attempted to do so. It had become the fashion to appeal everything, no matter what, and when the minister came forward to offer prayer, the fashion again prevailed, and around of applauw sent a smile across his face. The prayer was a massive structure. It contained a history of the United States, tbe christian era and tbe future, and at tho con-

c'usion was greeted with more applause, whether of approbation or relief has not yet been decided.

The first sensation ha« been sprung. Among the secretaries named was Helen M. Gouger, of Indiana, tho noted temperance orator. Just before the announcment Burkbauser, chairman of the local committee on entertainment, had asked the convention to take a lunch with him at noon at "a bioom factory" and Mrs. Gouger came to tbe platform and denounced Barkhauser and repudirted her nomination. She hit the liquor business square between the eyes, fche WPI madly cheered. Among the vice-presidents are Gen. Weaver and Ignatius Donnelly. 'ITie chief secretary is W. L. Morgan, of Arkansas. 8enator Pfeffer, in a speech, advocated the third party.
