THROWN BACK ON HIS HANDS.
The Secretary of the Navy Info ms Mr.
Subsidy Roach that ths Dolphin
Won’t Do.
Washington. March 2'.—Secretary of the
Navy Whitney has written a letter to Mr.
John Boach in which the Secretary declines
to accept the Dolphin Just completed by Mr.
Boach. The Secretary says he found that
the Dolphin, did not, upon her trial trip,
come up to the terms of the contract which
call for the development of 2,300 horse p >wer
by her engines. He says, however, that the
Advisory Board report that the deficiency of
her power required was not due to detective
workmanship nor materials, but that with
better coal tha vessel would come up to the
requirements. He therefore suggests an
other trial trip for the purpose of demon
strating that this supposition is correct.

the Fol ce.

morning as Louis Fernandez, a saloon keeper
at St. Charles and Girard streets, within a
block of a police station, was closing up his
place, a gang of eight or nine masked men
rushed in, knocked him down and beat him
unmercifully, till he told them where the
key of the safe was. They then stole $450 and

the outrage was committed by a gang known
as the Chicago garroters.

money was used for campaign purposes in

on such a subject as asserted in the Star.

THE VICTIM OF A JOKE.
A Par icipant in a Bogus Duel Under the
Impression that H** Had Killed
> His Man.
Lawrence, Kan., March 21.—Yesterday
af'ernoon quite an excitement was created
L in 'his place over a duel between a joung
man named P A. Newberg, from iv aven
worth, a d Dan Crew, the son of the Repub
lican candidate for Mayor. The difficulty
grew out ot a little squib that appeared in the
Lawrence Journal yesterday morn’ng in an
account of a “snip-- hunt/’ in which it was
stated Newberg held a sack and candle or
s veral hours waiting till the snipes could be
driven in. Crew was accused oi being the
author of the story, and when requested to
apologize refused to do so, andintimaied that
■ Newberg might go to the devil. A challenge
j was sent and accepted, the weapons to be
I shotguns at thirty paces. John Donnelly
acted as second for Crew and Ed Fairfield
■ for Newberg, with Herman Haze as referee,
, all being prominent business men. 1L was
, understood between the seconds that the
' guns were to be loaded with blank cartridges.
. When the word to tire was given, both w<a
‘ pons were discharged and Crew fell, while a
• quantity of chicken s blood made him a re-
> spectable corpse. The crowd rushed up to
■ see what the result was. Newberry thinking
' they were goingtoarrest him drew a revolver
1 and began to shoot right and left, while
• the crowd, two bundled in number, dispersed
in every dii ection. But the revolver too had
been loaded with blank cartridges, so no one
was injured. Newberg was brought over to
tiie city from Bismarck Grove where the duel
had taken plac , andcon-ulted with an • ttoi
ney, whom he informed that Crew had been
. wounded and defined his (Newberg’s) offense.
Newberg itecideu that it was best for him to
leave to wn, and t<.ok the first train for To
peka.

to be Suppressed.
I
Washington, March 21.—The Chair laid
, before the Senate the resolution ottered by
the Senator from JNew Hampshire, Mr. Pike,
authorizing the committee on claims to di
gest the Judicial decision relating thereto,
and to continue and extend the list of pri
vate claims. Mr. Edmunds moved to amend
so as to limit the work of the committee to
an extension of the list of private claims as
sented to in Congress so that the list will
’ cover the Forty-eighth and Forty-seventh
Congresses. After debate, a division was
called for, but before the roll was called, Mr.
■ Sherman moved to recommit the resolution
to the committee on claims, which motion
was adopted.
Mr. Michael, of Pennsylvania, submitted a
. resolution looking to the Appointment of a
, special committee of five to inquire into mat
ters pertaining to tiie trade dollar. Mr.
. Cockrell ottered a substitute providing that
any of two or more Senators might consti
tale themselves into a committee to investi
-1 gate anything, and employ clerks, etc , and
then moved that both the original and sub
stitute be laid on tiie table. Ho ordered.
Mr. Fry ottered a resolution authorizing
the Committee on Rules to prepare an official
seal for tiie Unites States Senate. Laid over.
The chair appointed Messrs. Miller, Gor
j man and Harris as a sub-committee on inter
state commerce,
Criticism having been made of the Record
because it did not contain Mr Van Wvck’s
remarks of yesterday on the Central and
South American commission, Mr. Van
Wyck introduced a resolution, which was
passed, instructing the reporter of the Sen
. ate to insert the word “eliminated.’’ The
’ Senate then went into Executive session.
At 2:50 p. m. the doors were reopened, and
the Senate adjourned until Monday at 10 a.
in.
' In Executive session of the Senate to-day
i the following ominations were confirmed;
' Samuel W. Miller to be First Lieutenant in
the Fifth Regiment of Infantry, and Second
Lieutenant Wm. Black to be First Lieuten
ant in the Twenty-fourth Regiment of In
fantry.
Dur.ng tiie past week the executive sessions
of the Senate have been largely devoted to
deciding the most feasible plan of preventing
the publication of executive secrets, and dur
ing yesterday s session this subject was hot
ly discussed. Some Senators favored making
it a penal offense for any newspaper to pub
lish the proceediugsof executive essi ms,and
some took the ground that it would probably
be better to exclude from the privileges of the
reporters'gallery of the Senate the repre
sentatives of all journals which should pub
lish such matters. All sorts of theories were
entertained and expressed by Senators as to
how correspondents receive sufficient infor
. mation upon which to accurately report the
actions of the Senate during executive ses
sions, and some went so far as to assert their
belief that some persons entitled to be pres
ent at executive sessions had been enabled
to lead a luxurious life at the expense of the
press in consideration of services rendered
in this direction. Some one Senator in con
versation on this subject: “Why, if it is pos
sible, the reports of the secret sessions are
more correct in some instances than the
reports of the open sessions made by the
official stenographers. Another Senator said
that there were sufficient grounds to justify
the passage of a law making the publication
of the proceedings or senatorial executive
sessions by newspapers a penal offense.
The discussion was concluded to-day by
the adoption of a resolution prepared by the
committee on rules, and submitted by Mr.
Fryer after the above confirmations were
disposed of. The resolution extends the in
junction of secrecy to each step in considera
tion of treaties including tiie fact of ratifica
tion, and provides that no modification of
this clause of rules ought to be made;
that secrecy as to the fact of the
ratification of a treaty may be of
the utmost importance and ought
not to be removed, except by order of the
Senate, or until it has been made public by
proclamation of the Executive.
After the adoption of the resolution, the
treaty providing lor a rehearing of the Mexi
can Weil L. < bra claims, referred to in these
despatches of yesterday, was taken up, and
Mr. Morgan proceeded to address tiie Senate
thereon. Without disposing of the treaty,
however, it was decided to adjourn until
Monday at 10 o’clock,when Mr. Voorhees.and
other Senators will submit remarks on the
subject of the claims,

SAVANNAU.
Impressions Made on Hon. Patrick Walsh ;
During His Recent Visit—A Grow
ing and Flourishing City.
Augusta Chronicle, Friday, March 20.
l|Thecity of Savannah is growing. In the
last ten years she lias made a wonderful prog
ress. The Central railroad and its magnifi
cent steamship lines—solidified and perfect
ed by the master mind of the late Col. Win.
M. Wadley—have lifted Savannah out of the
quagmire of despond and have given her the
sinews of steel and steam, which secure be
yond peradventure her present and future
commercia supremacy. With tiie exception
of New Orleans, Savannah is now the fore
most city on the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. Savannah has tiie best line of steam
ships on tiie Atlantic coast. She has two
railroad syndicates—practically three, for the
East Tennessee system wdds to the volume
of her commerce—covering Georgia
and neighboring States with a net
work of rails, each of which draws
trade to her merchants. The Savannah,
Florida and Western Railroad has within a
few years greatly supplemented ihe work of
ihe Central and added largely to the com
mercial importance of Savannah. It seems
incredible but it is a fact that Savannah is
already one of the largest naval stores ports
ports of original shipment in the world. Ex
cept New Orleans, Savannah received more
cotton last year than any other port in the
South. The lumber business ol Savannah is
very great. Tiie wholesale business of the
city is large and increasing. All this activity
and progress are due in a great measure to
the railreads, and in a special degree to the
indomitable courage and comprehensive
practicability of the late Col. Wadley.
One of the most conclusive evidences of
the prosperity of a city is the confidence of
her citizens in her real prosperity. In agrow
ing communitv real estate is a most de
sirable investment. The confidence of tne
people of Savannah in the present and future
of the city’is best demonstrated by the fact
that all desirable property on the market is
readily purchased at good prices. On the
Bay, for instance, a well located lot with or
without improvements, sixty by ninety feet,
would command $25,000. Residences bring
from $15,000 to $20,000. Some would command
$25,000. A lot near the Screven House, ninety
feet on Broughton and sixty on Bull, sold for
$50,000. The is now erecting
a building that will cost nearly
$50,000 more. These statements show
the confidence of the people in their city.
They demonstrate the prosperity of the mer
chants and their confidence in the progress
of Savannah. It teaches us this lesson that
people who have confidence in their own city
will succeed, and that merchants who want
trade must not wait tor it to come to them.
They must either go or send alter it. The
merchants of Savannah send after the trade
and bring it to their city. The Chronicle
congratulates the elder sister of Augusta on
her commercial prosperity. The present of
Savannah is encouraging. Her future is full
of promise.
The commercial growth and commanding
importance of Savannah have been fully
written up, and will be presented at length
in the Chronicle Centennial edition.

tensive as were shown in the Centennial Ex
position, several nations there represented,
having no official exhibits here, but the ab
sence <>i these is fully atoned for in splendid
I private displays made by Jamaica, the Repub
llicol Honduras, British Honduras, Guata
maia, Mexico, China and Japan, whose mag
nificent representations of th ir natural re
sources, woods, ores, grains, medicinal sub
stances, manufactures and arts, make a
most gratifying exhibition oftheir industrial
and social progress.
The most extensive of these foreign exhibits
is that of Mexico, which covers 10 (XX) feet
of (space, and astonishes everyone with both
elegance and magnitude. In a 1 varieties of
leather, cloth, and of the more delicate fab
rics, tiie skill other artistsand mechanics is .
shown to be scarcely a whit behind that of • ’
our own, or of any other people, and at one |'
bound Mexico has here achieved the respect :
land admiration of the world. Her govern- |
I ment, with rare liberality, appropriated four
i hundred thousand dollars to defray the ex- |
| pense of this display, and it will return to her | (
twenty fold in capital, which will thereby be
attracted to her country. Japan makes in
addition to a general, a most remarkable ed
ucational exhibit, scarcely second to that
made by our own government, and certainly
superior to those made by some of our own
States. Her books, school apparatus and fur
niture are all of the best character and her
higher and common schools are fully abreast
of the age in methods and aims
Siam also has a small space in the foreign
section, which is occupied with a very small
and humble exhibit, calculated to attract the
attention of the missionary, and to awaken
the sympathy of every visitor. It is com
posed of a few cases, filled with samples of
the coarse cotton goods of which the garments
of her poor people are made; an old-time loom
on which the cloth is woven, and the si mole '
hand tools with which her cotton is cultivat- ,
ed, are also shown. The spaces allotted to
France, Great Britain, Germany, 1
Italy, and to the South American countries, ’
are wholly occupied in the building, with
private exhibits on sale, and comprising the ;
goods, cloths, glass and bronze wares, with
many curious specialties peculiar to those ;
countries.
A wonderful exhibit in tbe furniture de
partment is that of chairs, rattan and reed
furniture, of a thousand different designs,
shown by Heywood Bros. & Co., of Gardner,
Mass., established in 1827, giving now employ
r*’ent to 1,100 men, and represented hereby
Mr. F. M. Richardson, who has been with the
company fourteen years. It is worth the en
tire expense of a visit to the Exposition to
see their most beautiful exhibit, which is
also an 1 oior to the taste and skill of Amer
ican workmen. •
In concluding this letter, allow me to say
that,. any reports to the contrary, visitors
may come here in the full assurance that they
wil not be disappointed. Tne Exposition is
great beyond any like fair ever held, and is
worth double to any one the cost of seeing it.
One suggestion to visitors- have your letters
ordered sent either to some fri nd’s care in
the city, or io “Exposition Postnffi(*e,” then
you will have no trouble in getting your
mail. Exposition.

much importance to tiie military of the city
ind merits tiie entire co-operation of ail both
military and civil. Tiie list of honorary
members was selected from among the old
officers ot the regiment of whom savannah
may justly be proud.
Headquarters Ist Vol. Reg’t of Ga. >
Savannah. Ga., March 21.1885. C
General Order 13. (.'nrrent Series.

offic-rs of the First Volunteer Regiment of
Georgia, it was unanimously resolved: That
the commanding officer should appoint a
general committee from tiie several organiz
tions composing the Regiment, to be known
as the “Armory committee of tbe First Vol
unteer Regiment of Georgia,” whose duty it
shall be to devise ways and means and raise
funds by a Regimental Fair and otherwise,
adequate to the erec fi on of a suitable Arnio
y,on tiie iots e lero a y donated by the“ City
oi savannah ’ to the regiment.
Second-In persuance oi this resolution,
the Colonel Commanding announces the fol
lowing committee:
Field and Staff—Maj. John Schwarz; Ist
Lieutenant and Adjutant, John W. Wilson;
Ist Lieutenant and Quartermaster, B. IL
Richardson.
| Republican Blues—Lieutenant J. M. Mac
caw, Sergeant W. B. Spann, Sergeant D. L.

neay, Sergeant P. F. Gleason, Private Dennis

B. Mell, Sergeant J. G. Pournelle, Honorary
Members. W. Branch,Honorary Member A.

German Volunteers—Lieutenant J. H.
Helmken, Sergeant M.J.Helmken,
Honorary Member ex-Captain Blun, Hon
orary Member S. Guckenneimer, Honorary
Member V. S.Studer.
Savannah Cadets—Sergeant R. P. Lovell,

D. C. Bacon, Pay Member 11. P. Smart, Pay
Member J. K. Hamlet.
Honorary Committee.—Gen. A. R. Lawton,
Col. Chas. H. Olmstead, Maj. S. Yates Levy,

bach, Judge A. P Adams, Dr. J. T. McFar
land, Capt. Jno. Wolber, R. G. Gaillard, Esq.,
S. B. Adams, Esq., Capt. J. J. McGowan,
Luke Carson, Esq. “
Third —Every consideration of duty should
impel every member of Die oid First Georgia,
honorary, veteran, exempt and active, to re
spond with unanimity m co-operating with
this committee, to exert himself zealously
and incessantly; to loosen his purse strings,
and to contribute to tiie object in view by
personal service, encouragement, praise and
money, as 'ar as his ability extends.
Foui t h -Tiie birth of the Regiment is almost
coeval with the settlement of Savannahjit lias
“grown with the city's growth and strength
ened with its strength.” During all this time
i it lias never been deaf or careless to the call
of duty, or of patriotism, and has sanctified
witli its blood the record of its existence; in
return for which its services have met with
but small, if any acknowledgment from the
State, and it lias but seldom made any appeal
for assistance from oar citizens, whose most
honored names are to be found in its archives.
After nearly a century of honor, it has mere
ly a name, but no local habitation; and it is
io secure this habitation that the Colonel
Commanding, in behalf of the Regiment,
makes this appeal to the public. Surely some
recognition should be made of tiie servi es of
those whogive their time, theirexertloos,and
their means, to sustain an organized protec
tion of the law, a guardianship
of the lives t.nd the security of
the property of the people; a
sanctuary in which may be shrined the sa
cred Insignia, tiie banners and standards un
der which it illustrated the devotion, the
valor, Hie self-sacrifice of our ciiizens. Other
States have thus signalized their apprecia
tion of the gallantry and patriotism of their
sons. Why should our own great State be
deaf to such a call? It is made with no per
sonal or selfish view. It is due to the past, it
s necessary to the present, it will be claimed
by the future.
Fifth—Before the proposed regimental fair
on Nov 5, 1885. is held, the colonel command
ing will address a circular letter to the noble
women of Savannah whose names are hal
lowed by the glory oftheir deeds, and who
in their devotion to duty have surpassed the
women of Sparta, Rome and Suragossa, in
voking the assistance of the r deft lingers,
their smiles and encouragements necessary
to the fruition of the hopes of this battle
scarred regiment, who in the past deriv* d its
strongent impulse to its brilliant deeds from,
the hope of their approval. " By order

Colonel Commanding.
