THE NEW STEEL SHIPS.
The Points of Superiority Over the Old
Ones.
AV AvSuington, 'June 17. —Commodore
Sicard’B summing up ot the points of su
periority which the new steel ships now
being constructed may claim over the old
gives the following: First, the new ships
have double bottoms; if any accident
happens to the outer one the ship is
not seriously injured, provided the in
ner one still remains intact; second,
they hale protective decks which
slant fore and aft and toward the
sides; these decks are made of thick
wtrcd, iiiid beneath them tho enginet* and
magazines are located; third, they have
athwart skips water-tight bulkheads;
fourth, they have numerous sub-divisions
below, no thut if the whip Hprinp* a leak it
can only till one of these, and soon be
repaired; tilth, those arc powerful
pumps connected with all the sub
divisions and with the double
bottom; sixth, they carry a
considerable amount of coal above the
protective deck and on each side of the
boilers; this serves as a sort of earth
work; seventh, they have gun shields
made of two inch stool plates. These are
placed upon the frontof the gun carriages,
and are intended to protect the carriages
ami crew in a measure from small shot
and pieces of shell. The guns are other
wise protected by heavy hempen mats
called “mantlets,” which are hung up
between the guns.

from a prominent citizen of New Orleans
to a friend in Atlanta: “At present the
exposition is rather mixed. The old com
mittee management is endeavoring to sell

sleeping car fame, is President. I think
that witli a few more such men as he at
tho head it will he a success and reopen
in the fall.”
Last night a burglar entered the Frank
lin Printing House and made an inven
tory of the contents of every room. Sev
eral cash drawers were broken open.
Only one of them was found to contain
money. The burglars got $lO or sls from
this, and left without taking anything
else with them.

day. He comes to carry back to New

GRANT IN GREAT DANGER
DR. SANDS H ASTILY SUMMONED
FROM NEW YORK.
All Effort* to Speak Prove Futile and
the AVlieeziug of His Hruath the Only
Audible Result of Ills Attempts—He
Manages with Aid to Take a Short
Stroll.
Mount McGregor, N. A'., June t 7.
When Gen. Grant reached here yesterday
the thermometer registered Hit degrees,
hut a thunder storm came up last night,
and to-day tho temperature is 65. Geu.
Grant has partially recovered his voice.
His son, Col. Fred., is reported as sayiug
that the failure of his father’s voice is
owing to debility and he is growiug
weaker uil the while. The
change of air he feels just
now beneficially, but his weakness
constantly grows upon him. A little
white tent with small flags fluttering from
it is pitched close toGen.Grant’scottagc.
It is occupied by 8. \V. M illets, an old
soldier in uniform, who has been employed
to protect the General from intrusion bv
strangers. The swelling In the General’s
throat was not abated to-day and his rest
last night was aided by morphine, with
out which the doctor said he could not
have slept.
OR. SANDS SUMMONED.
Dr. Douglas this evening telegraphed Dr.
Sands to come here by the tirst train
to-night.
Gen. Grant spent a good portion of tho
forenoon taking short walks about the
Piazza of his new house. About noon he
laid down to rest and his doctor went to
sleep, which he much needed. About 3
o’clock, and while Ills physicians and
uurse were asleep, the General drew his
silk bat over his skull cap, signalled
Harrison to his side, and walked down
the cottage stops. Ue walked slowly
along tho pathway over an easy slope
to the brow of the mountain, 100 yards
away. Several times he paused to rest,
and at length sat down on a rustic settee.
UNAIH.K TO .NPKAK.
When a chair was placed for his feet
he removed the handkerchief from his
mouth and essayed to speak, declining
support for his teet, but his voice was not
audible. Breath could be heard, but no
words, und the General, recognizing the
fact, shook his head. The fact that a mess
of frogs had been caught during the morn
ing at one of the little mountain lakes
near by was mentioned to the General,
and he was asked if he would attempt
anything so tender as frogs’ legs.
Again the General tried to speak,
hut the attempt did not result in words
that were audible, and again he declined
by shaking bis bead. His attention was
directed to the monument that marks the
surrender of Burgoyne 20 miles away,
but the elevation ot his head to gaze so
far away seemed painful and his head
bowed, his chin dropped to his breast and
his eyes rested on nearer objects,
PAINS IN HIS NECK.
The neck and diseased portions are
strained, and pain follows when he holds
his head erect. Fine minutes passed
while the General sat on the bliiif. r.nd he
llicii arose by sceadiing himself with the
arm of a settee and hi* cane, and with
Harrison at his side retraced his ships to
the cottage. No one was more
surprised at the General’s walk
than l)r. Douglas. He was amazed that
the General should have attempted It, but
was amused by his selecting a time when
the doctor was asleep. Later in the
afternoon Dr. Douglas, In referring to the
General’s actual condition in connection
with his walk, expressed himself thus:
“The disease is following its character
istic course, which is a oourse of
steadily increased exhaustion. We
do not look for a cure from
this change. Nothing can he curative,
but we do hope lo prolong his life, and
that is themostt.bat can bo expected.
Under the exhilarating effect of this at
mosphere and of this cool day he has, for
instance, walked over there to the knoll.
He might do that easily and not be able
to do tho same to-morrow or next day.
The course ot the disease is, as I said,
one of increasing dehiiltv.”
EXHAUSTED BY TIIK WALK.
When Hen. Grant reached his cottage
after his walk to the brow of the mountain
he was much exhausted, and sank into a
l chair in the parlor of the cottage. Very
soon he inaicatedby signs that he wanted
writing materials, ’which were given him,
ar.d he wrote for nearly half an hour.
The result was two letters or papers. One
was headed “Memoranda for my Family.”
In it the General had written
that be thought he was failing, and for
certain instructions that lie desired car
ried out he referred his family to other
and more definite memoranda prepared by
him a little while before leaving New
York. The other note he folded and ad
dressed to Dr. Douglas. He banded both
papers to Col. Fred. Grant, and that ad
dressed to the physician is understood to
have been of a similar import as that to
bis family.
HOW TUK AFTKHNOON WAS PASSED.
The afternoon wore away with the Gen
eral sitting outside on the piazza. Sun
set found him still on the piazza, and
w hen dusk deepened in tho east side of
the mountain he was yet sitting silently
on the porch at one side of the front door
f the cottage. When the lumps were
lighted inside and the light streamed out
into the growing darkness the sick man
was yet outside, though the air was chill
and a stiff breeze was swaying the pine
tree tops. Col. Fred. Grunt, with the
steadfast allegiance to his fatlior that line
been prominent during the General’*
long sickness, was by his side and
Dr. Dougins was near at hand. At length
alter * o’clock the General went inside
the cottage and Dr. Douglas wrote ami
sent a message to Dr. Samis in New York
summoning him by the first train.
RETIRING KOK THE NIGHT.
At 0 o’clock the General retired, and
Dr. Di'iigliis then thought that his ihroul
aurl neck appeared bettor than on Tues
day night. It la possible that the Gen
oral’s walk this afternoon tested hi* full
ing strength too lar, and the reaction has
brought to him the sense of neaknesstbat
he himself lewis is not to bo lightly, disre
garded. Whether Id* weakness to-night
I* tho Immediate result of the undue exer
tion to-day, or whether it 1* the weakness
of a react ion after his Journey 1* a ques
t on that the doctors only my presume
to answer. At 10 o’elisik the General
*■**■ meit to Its sleeping in Ilia room. The
family at that hour, as during the entire
evening, wera gathered In the parlor, and
Dr. Douglas wa* with them for the night.
At 11 o’clock they retired, and the cottage
was da k.
HOW THE NIGHT WAS PASSED.
Mount MdGkkgok, June 18, 2 A. M.—
At 1 :If> o’clock this morning an As-
Ki.el.ited Press representative saw Dr.
Douglas at the cottage, lie said that tho
Genera! slept at once after settling down
at Bo’clock, lie slept until 10 o'clock,
when n* awoke, and afterward dozed
until < o'clock this morning, when the
nurao aroused the doctor. He cieaied
the General’s throat, painted it with
cocaine, gave him food and tried his pulse,
which was firm and regular The General
wits no weaker than at 6 • 'clock. The
General, when he lelt himself weaker in
theevening, told Dr. Douglas that he oared
to have no other doctor trailed, but that
Dr. Douglas might do aw he chose, where
upon Dr. Douglas summoned l>r. Sands
by telegram. Dr. Douglas feels no appre
hension for to-night.

Mayor Smith, of this city, Chief of Po
lice Stewart, and a committee of the
Philadelphia Councllnien met. the train In
Baltimore this morning and returned with
tho party. A vast crowd of people await
ed tho coming of the train, and when it ar
rived at Germantown junction, gave it as
a welcome a volley of cheers. The bed
was removed from the car to a decorated
truck, and the visitors entered car
riages, which formed into a line
of about Hod persons, composed
of firemen, military and civic
organizations, with the bell in the centre
of the line. The procession moved
down Broad street to Chestnut und thence
to Independence Hall. The sidewalks
along I he route wero crowded with people,
and the visiting delegation and the old
hell was heartily cheered all along the
line. At Independence Hall brief remarks
were made by Mayors Smith and Guil-
Intte, and the Liberty Bell was then placed
iu its former position in the lobby of the
hall. Mayor Guillotte spoke in eulogistic
terms or the reception accorded tho party
all along the route from New Orleans to

Wilkes itARUK, Pa., June 17.—Affairs
at Plymouth are slowly improving. The
relief oommittee met at a lute hour last

ing a decidedly better showing as com

ment of the Grand Army of the Republic,

London, .June 17. Sir William Vernon
llareourt, ilotue Secretary in Mr. Glad
stone's Cabinet, addressing a meeting of
Liberals last night in Bt. James’ llall,
denied that the Liberal government had
courted defeat. The Tories had at last
overthrown the government by an ulli
anoo with the I’arnellities, with whom
they had nothing in common, and were
now in an embarrassed position. He hoped
that tho Tories would not negoti
ate with Russia in the spirit
of Lord Randolph Churchill and tho
Marquis of Salisbury. Hir William
gave assurance, however, that tho Tories
should have fair play, and if they labored
tor peace should have the support, of the
Liberal party. “The Tories,” ho said,
“might squabble about their leaders, hut
the Liberals would have no dissensions
about theirs. The Liberals were mobil
izing their forces for a great campaign.
They would light, it tor the old oausu and
with the old leader, on whose honored
head would be placed the crown of tinal
victory.” The meeting xvus crowded to
excess ami great enthusiasm was dis
played.
The Queen arrived this morning at
Windsor Castle from Balmoral.

Randolph Churchill attended tho confer

hoar of the flames,
William Wliltley'H Kst aMtsliinent on tho
Queen’* Hoad Iturueil to the Ground.
London, Juno 17.—The great establish
ment devoted to various kinds ot business
of William Whitley,ofWesttrourneGrove,
Queen's road and Kensington Garden
square, took lire this morning.
The tire was discovered at o o’clock this
morning. Al noon the flames were under
control. The lire occurred to-day in the
saine department which was destroyed by
•Ire in 1882 and was sinoo rebuilt. The
flumes quickly spread from tho counting
house to the stables in tho rem and thence
spread to West lion rue grove. All the
shops from No. 3ft to No. 43 were de
stroyed. All the engines of the entire tire
brigade wero pouring streams upon the
hurtling mass. Tho great Iron doors
which separate the several departments
of the immense establishment prevented
the destruction of the entire blook.
l'he business of this great establishment
is of the most divided character. There
arc counting house, exchange and
insurance departments, departments of
millinery, dress-making and dry goods iu
general, a gentleman's furnishing depart
ment in all itH ramlticatioiis, a depart
ment for poultry, fish, game, etc., and so
on along the line, apparently everything
merchantable. Mr. Whitley estimates
bis loss at i Ifto.eoo.
lIURNING OF A PACKING lIOUBH. *
Philadelphia, June 17.—Firo broke
out early this morning iu the extensive
lard and pork packing establishment ot
Washington Butcher’s Sous, on Moore
street utiove Sixth. Tho structure was an
extensive four-story building and occu
pied nearly half a blook. Owing to the
inflammable nature id’ tho contents of the
manufactory tlie tire, which broke out In
the third story, spread rapidly,
and burned so fiercely as to make ft Im
possible for the tire men to do more than
endeavor to confine It to the building.
The walls finally fell and the building
was completely demolished. Several
dwellings on the south side of Moore
street were damaged more or less by fire
and water. Several firemen were injured
hut none fatally. A number of narrow
escapes were made when the walls fell.
The loss will probably reach $150,000.
The fire is believed to have been caused
l*y a bolt of lightning igniting some ot the
fat stored in the building. The firm has
$106,000 insurance on the building and
stock.

required lor the establishment of con
sulates both at Chicago and Baltimore.
Sig. Manotni, Foreign Minister, said
that ho fully agreed with the previous
sneakers that, there was pressing neces
sity for an increase of the Italian Consuls
in America. Ho would, therefore, pre
pare and submit to tho Chamber of
Deputies at an early day proposals for
the maintenance of new Consuls. He
would nt the same time present a plan
fora reassignment of the Consular dis
tricts in the United Htates. The Chamber
of Deputies adopted the foreign estimates
by a vote of 108 to lftf). Tho narrowness
of the majority renders It almost Imirassi
hie for Foreign Minister Maiiciui to
remain in office.

TtIK DUTY ON RtCR.
There is the best of reasons tor believ
ing that tho Treasury Department will
decide not to Increase the duty on broken
rice from 20 percont. ad valorem to
cents per pound. The ad valorem rate
whs established by a decision of the
Treasury Department in |MB3 upon the un
derstanding or the assumption
that that rate would Ira continued. The
importers of broken rice tbr brewing pur
pose* have made contracts, and a change
to the higher rate now proposed would
operate to cause great, hardship to busi
ness meii. it is altogether probable that
Assistant Secretary Kalrehtld will feel
obliged to continue the ad valorem
rate ami suggest that the rate
of duty on broken rice Ira
continued as fixed during Secretary Fol
gor’s time, until after some remedial act
may he passed by Congress. Tbo Assist
ant Heorotary is not Inclined Inconsider
ately to reverse all the precedents and
rulings of his predecessors. While
it is possible and even
prohablo that advantage has
been taken of the regulations to get In
rice that was little broken under the 20
per cent, ad valorem rate, It Is also prob
able that the bulk of the rloe Imported
under the “broken” olussiflcatlon was
used for brewing purposes and not for
food.
