* No Paper Next Week. .
According to the time honored cus-
tom of this office no paper will be is
sued next week. The editor, his associa-
tes, all of the typos, the pressman and
the devil must have a holiday for a week,
and who can suggest a more opportune
time than the Fourth of July week, a
time when most of our patriotic readers
will be doing considerable shooting off
for themselves. Six months of the
year 1893 have been rounded off and
itis the WarcamaN’s hope that the
remaining ones may be as bright and
prosperous for you and it as the past
have been.
LARA REECE
Why Deceive the People.
A few of our exchanges still insist
that the repeal of the fence law of 1700
did not do away with the necessity of
maintaining line fences through cleared
and occupied ground. Possibly, it did
not do away with the “necessity,” but
it certainly did repeal every legal re-
quirement that could be relied upon
to enforce the maintenance of such fen-
ces.
It is true that the act of 1889, did
not, in so many words, repeal the law
of 1842, known as the line fence law,
but it did repeal all the law the State
ever had describing and fixing what
should constitute a fence. The act of
1700, which was stricken from among
the statutes, set forth distinctly what a
fence should be composed of, as well as
how high, close and strong it should be
built, and the repeal of that act leaves
us without any legal definition, show-
ing what a fence shall consist of, how
it shall be built or what its purpose
shall be, except in such instance as lo-
cal laws cover the cage.
Without a legal determination of
what shall constitute a fence, or the
authority vested in some one, some-
where, to decide this question, there can
be no enforcement of the provisirns of
the act of 1842. As we are now situa-
ted one man can stretch a rope along
his property and claim that it is a fence,
while another could lay a log along his
line and make the same claim, and
there is nothing in any law of the State
showing that either of their claims
would be wrong.
In fact the purpose of the repealing
act, passed in 1889, was to do away
with all fences and it did it very effec-
tively, by simply repealing that section
of the general law, that gave a descrip-
tion or a legal definition of the kind of
a construction that should constitute a
lawtul fence.
Encouraging Anarchy.
The news that Governor ArGrup, of
Illinois, had pardoned the three Anar-
chists who were under sentence for
complicity in the Haymarket riots, in
Chicago, spread like wild fire over the
country, and many have been the ex-
pressions of regret that the Governor
of such a great commonwealth would
lend a hand to the encouragement of
such principles as those espoused by
Anarchists and their associates, the So-
cialists. In reviewing the action the
Philadelphia Times questions its jus-
tice as follows: :
The pardon by Governor AtgeLn of
the three Anarchists who were yet in
the penitentiary for complicity in the
Chicago Anarchist riots several years
ago, could be excused only on the
ground that they were wholly innocent
of the grave charge on which they
were tried. If they had any part what-
ever in that murderous riot, there is
not an attribute of justice that could
plead for their pardon.
The excuse oftered by the Governor
for the pardon is given in a criticism
of the trial, and that is, at best, a lame
apology. Two of the three pardoned
Anarchists were _onvicted of murder
and the punishment subsequently com-
muted to imprisonment for life, and
the third was sentenced for fifteen years.
That they were all guilty of aiding and
abetting the horrible crimes of the An-
archists can hardly be doubted; and
that leaves the pardons without justi-
fication.
The people of Chicago would do well
to look the facts of these pardons
squarely iv the face, These Anarchists
were pardoned because the Anarchists
and their sympathizing friends, the So-
cialists, have become | a formidable po-
litical power in that city; and ‘what
must the harvest be ? There is not an
Anarchist conclave in the land where
there will not be rejoicing over this
overthrow of justice by the power of
banded revolutionists, ‘and that alone
should awake every law-loving ditizen
to the growth of lawlessness in the
country.

The Awful Fate of An English Battle
Ship.
The Victoria Run Down by the Camperdown and
360 Sailors Lost Their Lives. — Harrowing
Sights Witnessed From the Other Boats. Tle
Most Frightful Naval Calamity of Modern
Times.
NEw York, Jure 26.—The follow-
ing story from Lripoli, Syria, regarding
the sinking of the Victoria has been
received here:
About three o’clock last Thursday
afternoon the English fleet came in
sight of El Mina, the port and town of
Tripoli. It was coming from the north-
east and making directly for the har-
bor. The five big ironclads— Victoria,
Camperdown, Edinburg, Nile and Sans
Pareil—were drawn up in full front.
The Victoria was in the centre, the
Camperdown was on the left and the
Edinburg on her right.
When they were within five miles of
shore, Vice Admiral Tryon signalled
to turn and form in double line. This
means that the Victoria and Camper-
down were to go ahead a little and
describe a turn—the Victoria turning
to the left and the Camperdown to the
right. Then they would advance side
by side in the directions they had
come, the others would swing into
into column order and two behind and
leaders.
MARKHAM DID NOT UNDERSTAND.
When the order was given the dis-
tance between the ships was less than
two cable lengths. The execution was
easily enough for ships further away
from the centre, but extremely difficult
for the Victoria and the Camperdown
who, in turning their boats, would pass
within a few fathoms of each other ev-
en if the movement was executed with
the greatest precision. This movement
is rarely made and is chiefly for the
purpose of training the ship command-
ers to move expeditiously away from
shoaling waters,
Whether because Admiral Mark-
ham, of the Camperdown, could not
believe this movement was to be tried
when the ships were so close together,
or because he thought Admiral Tryon
had miscalculated the distance he did
not set about executing Admiral Try-
on’sorders, but signalled that he did
not understand it.
The Victoria and the other vessels
had not hesitated. The Victoria began
to turn at once as she still held to the
signal. The Camperdown no longer
hesitated, but also began to turn. The
brief delay, however, had been
fatal. The Victoria had nearly turned
and the Camperdown swinging around
bore down upon her.
THE ADMIRALS ACTED QUICKLY.
Both admirals were quick to act.
Admiral Tryon swung the Victoria so
as to receive at the smallest angle the
blow which both officials saw was inevi-
table, and Admirable Markham did
the same for the Camperdown, besides
reversing her screws, '
The twelve foot ram of the Cam per-
down struck the hull of the Victoria
just in front of the armored bulk-head
and plunged into the thin plates of her
starboard side. The armored ends of the
bulkheadjand the forward part of the
Victoria above the water line were
mere card board to the great iron
wedge so mightily propelled.
There was a smashing of wood and
iron plates and the ram and eight feet
of the bows of the Camperdown crash-
ed twenty feet into the bowels of the
Victoria. The Camperdown was halted
by the havy armor of the Victoria and
ag her screws were reversed she at once
began to back away.
As all the other vessels were moving
to get into double line behind the two
leaders they were bearing down upon
the entangled ships and a catastrophe
involving all the ironclads was immi-
nent. Only the coolness and prompt
action of the other commanders pre-
veuted a general disaster.
TRYON MAKING FOR THE SHORE.
The Victoria's bow was now pointed
full toward the shore. It seemed that
Admiral Tryon did not realize the
extent of the damage to the Victoria.
As no accident of exactly this kind
has happend before he could not know
what the effect of the hole in the com-
partment was to be. He no doubt
thought that as only one compartment
was damaged, the others would keep
his ship afloat so when the Camper-
down and the other ships signalled
offers of boats he replied that he did
not need them.
The Victoria began to forge straight
to the shore under full steam. It is
one of the rules of the British navy
that if a ship is in danger of sinking
and shore 18 not far away she must be
got into shallow water so that if she
may be raised again. So the Admiral
was making for the shore and was
widening the distance between the
Victoria and the other shipe.
When the Camperdown’s ram struck
‘the Victoria, Admiral Tyron, the
5
| Knives.
navigating officer, two signal officers,
and the men at the wheel were all up.
on the bridge, either in full view, or in
the chart house. Most of the crew
were on the forward deck, lounging
about, trying to keep cool under the
blazing sun of the clear, calm day.
DISCIPLINE WAS PERFECT.
With the crash they rushed into
the battery and as far aft as possible,
but when the two vessels separated all
returned to their places.
Discipline was perfect. The admiral
and officers remained steadfast upon
the bridge setting an example. So
good was the discipline that within
five minutes after the blow a diving
suit had been brought on deck and a
diver was getting into it to obey an
order to go below and find out the ex-
tent of the damage.
The untangling and the getting un-
der full headway had taken some little
time. About ten minutes after the
blow the Victoria, having got some-
thing like two miles nearer the shore
from the scene of the collision, all at
once leaned over to starboard, and
with a great roll and plunge buried
her bow beneath the sea. It was al
most instantaneous. 'I'here was only
a chance for a few wild cries, and the
Victoria was almost half submerged,
bow foremost, with her swiftly revolv-
ing screws whirring clear of the water
and high in the air.
HEARD THE SHOUTS AND WARNING CRIES.
Those on deck were plunged im-
mediately into the water, The men
forward and below had no time to rush
to the deck, but found themselves
groping for doors of rooms filled with
water and compressed air. There was
‘alittle more time for those in officer's
quarters. They heard the shouts and
warning cries and rushed tothe almost
perpendicular deck.
Comwander Jellicoe, lying in hie
berth sick with fever, started and
dashed to the deck in pajams to find
himself immediately struggling in the
water. A lieutenant swam up to him,
put his arm around him, and got him
away from the side of the sinking
ship.
The huge hull was drawing in the
water as it went down and several
hundred men hurled suddenly into the
water, fully dressed had to battle
against the increasing suction,
A moment more and anew peril
more horrible descended upon them.
The great engine deep in the heart of
the bull and inclosed in water tight
compartments was still throbbing at
full speed and the great steel phlanges
of the twin screws were whirling
around upin the air.
As the vessel sank the screws came
nearer and nearer to the water and de-
scended into the midst of struggling
human beings,
The vessel sank slowly, and when
the screws were low enough to begin to
whirl in the water again the suction
had increased until there was a deep-
ening vortex like a maelstrom.
At the bottom of this maelstrom
the screws were revolving like circul: r
The poor creatures battled in
vain in the suction. They were drawn
down and thrown against the swift
blades,
HEADLESS TRUNKS TOSSED ABOUT.
Then came a scene which made the
officers on the decks of the other war-
ships of the fleet turn away, sick with
torror. Screams aad shrieks arose
and in the white foam appeared red-
dened arms and legs and wrenched and
torn bodies. Headless trunks were
tossed out of the vortex to linger a mo-
ment on the surface and sink out of
sight.
All within reach of that vortex lost
their presence of mind. Men who
knew how to swim ceased swimming
and fought with the waters, Men
clutched each other in frenzy and
struck each other. The deep cone of
whirling water with the swift knives
chopping human bodies at the bottom
of it, was a horror to daunt the bravest.
One man who escaped says that he
saw in this great vortex at least fifty of
his fellows fighting with each other
and with inevitable death. In a mo-
ment or 80 the koives disappeared and
the vortex began to close up.
The ship was beneath the surface
just as the whirl was shallowed almost |
to the surface. Then there was a muf-
fled sound of thunder, the waters were
tossed up and the steam burst from the
swimmers. The boilers had exploded
the sea had rushed into the furnace
and the swimmers were beating waves
of scalding water.
DEATH IN THREE AWFUL FORMS.
Thus in less than ten minutes death
in three awful forms attacked the of-
ficers aud crew of the Victoria—death
by drowning, death by knives like
screws and death by scalding water.
Admiral Tyron stuck on the bridge
and refused to leave it. Just before
the Victoria made her under plunge
he saw what was about top happen and
issued an order for each mau to save
himself, but the order never got be.
yond the bridge, for ruin descended
straightway.
There were many acts of heroism,
forgetfulness and daring. The peril of
those in the water was increased by the
fact that the sea hereabouts is infested
with sharks.
It is the duty of the marines when
a collision occurs to immediately go
below and close all the water tight
compartments. When the Camper-
down struck the Victoria the Victo-
ria’s marines went below for their du-
ty and ae .a result out of 120 marines
on the Victoria ninety-nine were lost.
Some of the men belonging to the
Victoria had been detached temporari-
ly from that vessel and detailed for du-
ty on other vessels of the fleet during
the mancevres. These men had, of
course escaped. So far as now ascer-
tained the lost numbered 360, compris-
ing 22 officers and 338 men. The
saved numbered 287, including 26 of-
ficers and 261 men.

Discussing the Silver Question.
The Cabinet Agrees to Let Matters Take Their
Course Until the Meeting of Congress in
September.
WasHINGTON, June 27.—Two hours
were consumed by the cabinet to-day in
discussing the new phase of the silver
question and other matters demanding
attention. The two conferences yester-
day afternoon and evening between the
president and Secretary Carlisle simpli-
fied matters to some extent. Although
the discussion, it is said, took a wide
range, it was necessarily brought back
to one important and unmarageable
point—that the executive had no power
in the premises, congress alone being
able to deal with the measure for relief.
It was plain to the cabinet that the
monthly purchase of silver must be con-
tinued or else congress must be conven-
ed in special session immediately. As
the president had decided to call con-
gress together in the early part of Sep-
tember, to deal with the financial ques-
tion, and manifested no intention of
changing his stated purpose, the project
of an earlier session of congress, it is
understood, was dropped.
So far as the continuanee of the pur-
chase of silver bullion under the Sher-
man law was concerned, it was pointed
out that little more than two months re-
mained before congress would convene
in extra session and that during the in-
tervening time the silver to be purchas-
ed would be only 9,000,000 ounces, a
{ comparatively small amount, in view of
the previous purchases. The best way
to deal with the question was to await
the course of events for two months
longer. This view was generally
agreed to and the meeting adjourned.
AS M—
Mohammedans Shot Down.
A Stubborn Battle in Rangoon’s Street and the
the Soldiers Defied.
RANGooN, June 25. —For several days
the Moslems have been preparing to
celebrate a religious festival to-day.
This morning they were forbidden by
Mr. Fleming, British Magistrate, to
sacrifice a cow near the Hindoo Temple.
‘When the police appeared near the tem-
ple the Mohammedans began stoning
them. The police charged “without fir-
ing, but the Mohammedans held their
ground stubbornly and fought back
with sticks and stones.
Mr. Fleming had gone to the spot as
soon as trouble hecame imminent and
several policemen were wounded. The
police withdrew, got reinforcements and
charged again, but without effect. Mr,
Fleming then ordered them to fire. The
volley was delivered at close quarters.
Twenty Mohammedans fell dead and
many more were wounded severely.
As the Mohammedans still refused to
disperse the military were called our.
Four companies charged on the double
quick with fixed bayonets. The Mo-
hammedans dispersed slowly and still
fighting, although many “had been
wounded in the charge of the troops.
They gathered again, however, in a
street a short distance from the temple.
They were hardly dispersed before they
reassembled in another street. A de-
sultory ficht between them and the
trocps has been in progress all the afler-
noon. All the military are occupied in
clearing the streets.
Msny Mohammedans and Hindoos
have been killed ; scores have been
wounded. Nevertheless they show no
signs of yielding.

Go
WasHiNcroN, June 27. — Hobart
Chatfield Chatfield-Taylor, Chicago’s
Ward McAllister, bas been selected
for first secretary of the American
Legation at Madrid. The appoint-
ment will not be made at present for
certain political reasons, but Mr.
Taylor has been decided upon and the
other applicants may as well file papers
for other positions.
Mr. Taylor wanted to be secretary
at St. James, but the berth was too
important for him. So was the Paris
secretaryship. He was then offered
his choice between a South American
mission and the position of secretary to
either Madrid or Vienna. He did not
decide till Princess Enlalie came to
Chicago. He made such a hit with
her he immediately notified his friends
here that he would prefer Madrid and
he has been notified that in the not
distant future he will receive the ap-
pointment to that position.

Romance of Sam Yeager, One of the Cooley
Outlaws.
PrrrsBurg, Pa., June 25.—Samuel
Yeager, one of the famous Cooley out-
laws, of Fayette County, and now in
the penitentiary here, will be released
to-morrow and will at ence be arrested
by officers from Kingwood, W. Va.
Yeager helped rob a store there some
years ago. He was set to watch
while the Cocleys and Jack Ramsey
gathered the plunder. In the store-
keeper’s house adjoining was an organ
and Yeager, being something of a mus-
ician, began to extract melodies. During
that process his mask fell off and Wil-
liam Reckert, the storekeeper, who was
bound and gagged, recognized the out-
law. The robbers all escaped, but Reck-
ert proposes to get even now.
Jews Coming to New York,
NEw York, June 28.—The steam-
ship Red Sea with 800 Russian Jews
from Hamburg on board sailed from
Biemen last Monday aud is now on her
way to this port. Immigrant Com-
misioner Senuer will require a bond
that the immigration law. will not be
violated. The trasportation of these
immigrants from Hamburg direct to
New York was found impossible,
and they were sent to Bremen on the
tramp steamer Red Sea chartered.
Carlisle Won't Give His Views.
WasHINGTON, June 27.—Secretary
Carlisle, in response to a request by the
United Press to express his views on the
financial situation as effected by the ac-
tion of India on silver, politely declined,
saying that under the circumstances, he
had no views for publication, and did
not cure to indulge 1n speculation as to
future effects.

The Railway Mail Service
It is well understood that all persons
who expect positions in the rail-way
mail service must undergo an examina-
tion by a board of Civil Service Exam-
iners, before filing their application.
These examinations are generally held
twice a year, and at points in the dif
ferent States most easy of access to the
public. The next meetings of the
board of examiners will be held in
Philadelphia August 5th, Harrisburg
August 9th, No person shall be ex-
amined for this service, who is under
18 or over 33 years of age except that
any person honorably discharged from
the military or naval service of the
United States by reason of disability
resulting from wounds or sickness in-
curred in the line of duty, may be ex-
amined without regard to age. Any
person who is found to be below 5ft 4in.
in height, or under 125 pounds in
weight, shall be deemed to be disquali-
fied for the Railway Mail Service, and
consequently inelligible for the exami-
nation. All applications must be ad-
dressed to the Civil Service Commis
sion at Washington D. C., who furnish
all necessary blanks.
Disappointed Hawaiians.
Both Annezationists and Royalists Are Anxious
to Havethe Question of Stable Government Set
tled.
Ho~orLurLu, June 19, per steamer
China via San Francisco, June 16.—
As each successive steamer from San
Francisco arrives at Honolulu, bring
ing no news that Hawaiian affairs will
soot be settled by the United States,
the disappointment that permeates an-
nexationists and royalists alike be-
comes keener. Both parties are anx-
ious to have the vital question of stable
government decided as soon as possi-
ble. The long strain is beginning to
tell on both business and society.
The government claims to have au-
thentic information that Mr. Blount,
with the exception of a few brief state-
mente, has not yet made a report to the
state department at Washington, as to
the result of his investigations here,
and that a report will not be sent for
two weeks. The government has de-
cided to do nething further in the mat
ter of treaty instructions to Minister
Thurston until information is received
from Thurston, as to the result of his
interview with President Cleveland
about Hawaiian affairs.

Oppose an American Pope.
Monsignor Satolli’s Friends Arouse a Heated
Strife.
PirtsBUrRG, Pa., June 27.—There
was an exciting episode at to-day’s ses-
sion of the Nationa! Convention of the
Knights of St. John. Commandery
No. 81 nominated Archbishop Ryan, of
Buffalo, as the convention will meet in
Buffalo next year. Thay wanted him
elected by a unanimous vote. Com-
mandery No. 206 objected, and nomi-
nated Monsignor Satolli, referring to
him as ‘the American Pope.” This
brought a half a dozen delegates to
their feet. They demanded that the
term *‘American Pope” be expunged
from the minutes. Monsignor Satolli’s
friends threatened to force the election.
The matter was left in the hands of the
Supreme Trustees.
A Drop in Silver.
The Dollar is Now Worth Only a Little Over
Fifty-Eight Cents.
WasHINGTON, June 27.—The effect
of the action of the Government of In
dia has been to renew the demand for
an early session of Congress, and this
view of the situation was presented to
Secretary Carlisle this morning by
many of his Congressional callers and
by numerous telegrams from all sec-
tions of country.
Before going to the Cabinet, Secre-
tary Carlisle received a dispatch from
London announcing a further decline
in the price of silver to 35 pence. At
this price a silver dollar is worth 58%
cents.

Ran off with a Constable.
The Plucky Fellow's Ribs Were Broken, but He
Got His Man.
NEw CasrrLe, Pa., June 25.—Con-
stable McClusky had a bard time in
catching W. D. Byers, who is charged
with various offenses. Yesterday Byers
drove to Pulaski, and the Constable
arrested him and took him to a Justice’s
office. Then Byers fled and leaped into
his wagon, but the Constable jumped in
also. Away they went, and when the
horse had galloped for half a mile, it fall
and broke its neck. Three of the Con-
stable’s ribs were factured, and Byers
was also hurt, but the latter was finally
landed in the ‘Squire's office.
Dispensed His Wealth While He Lived.

Heroig Measures Required on the Part of the
Government.—Not a Knockout for Silver.—The
Demonetization of the White Metal a Conspir®
acy Between Banking Institutions in England
and Eastern United States: ’
Sr. Louts,—June 28.—Congressman
Bland the great silver advocate is here.
Referring to the Indian suspension of
silver coinage he said : “Heroic mesas-
ures will be required on the part of this
government for the demonetization of
silver. Most emphatically I do not
think it is a knockout for silver in this
country. On the contrary, I think that
if congress does not adopt some measure
looking to a bi-metallic standard it will
make the battle of standards the coming
issue in this country. This battle will
disrupt political parties and cause a con-
test between the commercial centres and
the agricultural districts of the country.
Free coinage of silver is demanded by
the laboring classes, and this is what
free silver men will now demand of
congress.
“The demonetization of silver is a
conspiracy between the banking institu-
tions of England and the eastern portion
of the United States, and the suspen-
sion of silver cvinage in India is part of
this conspiracy to bulldoze the congress
of the United States to the adoption of
a gold standard. I do not believe they
will succeed. If the democratic con-
gress stands true to its pledges this con-
spiracy will not succeed. The low price
of silver is due to the fact that this and
other governments are discriminating
against it, and that the money interests
of this and other countries have fought
it.
‘No important commercial country
has recently had a mint for the free ex-
change of gold and silver. The effort
has been to dam silver and prevent its
free coinage in the commerce of nations.
Can the United States by free coin-
age restore silver to its original value.
This was practically admitted by the
British royal commission of 1888, econ-
sisting of twelve members, six of them
uncompromising gold ' monometallists.
They admit that France alone could
maintain the parity of the two metals
on a ratio of 153 to 1. This country is
stronger in material wealth, developed
and undeveloped, than France and
England combined.”

The 3-year-old son of G. G. Williams,

ing to-day by the bravery and presence
of mind of his mother. The child was
in bathing near the pier at tha foot of
Tennessee avenue, when, getting into a
washout near one of the posts, he sud-
denly dropped out of sight. ;
The mother was watching her child
from the beach and although in street
attire, she dashad into the ocean and
was just in time to grasp her boy before
he sank for the last time. Her clothes
bampered her movements and she was
fast becoming exhausted, when a man
came to her assistance and helped both
to the shore.
