(ieneral Dn mout, supervising inspector of steam vessels, has just completed an investi gation covering several months of the lossoff liarm-gate light, 50 miles south of New York, of the steamer City ot Haverhill, with all on board. u the night of March .' last. The rejort ot the ivestiKation indicates that the wreck of the City of Haverhill will tro down in murine utiuuU as one of the unfathomed mysteries.

Hut there were other features of the wreck, which, he agreed to thor oughly investigate, and did. but the suspicious of the captain's widow are sensational and plausible. The City of Haverhill was a stern wheel steamer, built at Newburyport in ls-so. She was ISO feet long, ot very light draught (four feet when light), of 174 tons displacement and was valued at $15,000. s.he had been purchased in New York by the Key West Steamship company for carrviii! passengers from the mainland of Florida along the keys to Key West, and Captain War ren H. Watrous. formerly of Washing ton, and Key West, Fla.. had been sent to New York to bring her to her desti nation. Ou the morning of March "-7 she sailed for New York, with Captain Watrous. his son, a nephew of Edgar F. Luckenback, for Norfolk. Va.-in tow of the ocean tug W. A. Lucken back, intending to proceed thence by the inland passage to Key West nudei her own steam. Shortly before mid night, when off Barnegat Light, the tow line was cast off by ths City of Haverhill, the captain of the tug claims. The next day the pilotboat .lames Gordon Bennett found some of the wreckage of the City of Haverhill and the body of Captain Watrous encircled bv a life buoy. The pres at the tiiu reported that she had probably found ered in aatorin. bnt it was sub-eoueutly established that the wreckage was seen by Captain Frd Redmond of tut n-.li iug schooner Redmond before the sturm ruu up early the next luormug. t ap t.tin Redu.oiid. in a letter to Mrs (irat e S.

Her course. Mr. Watrous. main tained, must have been kuowu to the Spanish au'horities then on the lookout fur nilibu-terers. The fact that the vessel was fitted witli cabins and other sleeping accommodations at Biooklyu might. the widow thinks. have strengthened their suspicions had they been watching her. Another point which confirmed Mrs. Watrous in her llief of foul play, was the fact that the tow was cast off shortly before the loss occurred. Captain Williams of the tng claimed in a statement he made that the tug was not under contract to tow the Haverhill to Norfolk, but had simply "hitched on" to two barges he was towing, ami that he thought iiotr ing wrong when he found the Haver hill had cast off. Mrs. Watrous. how ever, maintains that she received a let ter from her hnsband, written before h sailed, saying he would leave in an honr in tow for Norfolk. Captain Watrous' sister has also made affidavit that she was present on the Haverhill when the contract was discussed. Will Hear the Arinnrinakrrt Washington. Sept. J.".

Chairman Flnerty Slakes a Kilter and Sensational See-li Twenty Million Irishmen Keady to Mrike and Circle Kiiflaud With a Wall of Fire. Chicago, Kept. 25. The convention if Irish societies in the Y. M. C. A. building is now in full blast and stern earnestness marks the new movement for Irih independence. The opening of the convention was marked by intense enthusiasm. Ihe formal oiieuiuir of proceedings was long delayed by the reading of tele grams from Irish sympathizers fr.m all parts of the world- and the delay was increased by the great care taken to prevent other than authorized dele gates passing the doorkeepers. Chair man Finerty's spirited address calling for prompt and efficient action ou ie half of Ireland was frequently inter rupted by the cheering of the enthu siastic delegates. The convention was cailert to order by John J. O'Counell of Chicago, chair- " ... - m .. .. .., man ot the committee oi arrangeimmis. Rapping for order. Mr. O CoimeU ex plained the causes leading up to the calling of the convention; that the people of the country had lost faith in the Irish parliamentary parry. re quests came from all over the conntry, nrging that such a convention should be held so that the uew movement should get down to business. In re sponse to these requests local commit tees had been formed who haa inane arrangements to facilitate the work of the convention. For three days the delegates would be called upon to de vise means for the furthering of the object for which the gathering had been called. In the wishes of the speaker, the day would. not be far dis tant when au Iri.h republic, based ou the lines of the greatest republic on earth, would be established, to which end this convention would lend invalu able aid if its work were fittiugly and properly done. Mr. O'Connell introduced as tempo rary chairman ex-Congressman John F. Finerty of Chicago. Mr. Finerty said the extinguishment of the nationality of Ireland by fraud ulent means, which had placed the smaller country at the mercy of the larger. The act of union was passed by.a sectarian assemblage, ami had been cursed by all true fervent Irish men since the day of its birth. The v;ai.iis attempts of Irishmen to make the En glish government listen to reason were recapitulated by the speaker, tne hist and only one that accomplished the de sired result being, in his opinion, the Femau movement. The speaker con t inert,: "There are thus who fear that we may do some thing here against the laws of the I'nited State. Our loyalty to the United States is shown in the stars and stripes on our platform here; but our loyalty is a matter entirely independ ent of and separate from the neutiality law. Whenever ha England J aid any attention to neutrality law- Certainly uot in lrelaud. where her vry presence l a standing memorial of her breach of the neutrality laws.

There are more Irishmen today t-'ian were ever on the face of the earth before. We'll circle England with wall of fire whuh shall never be ex tinguished until Ireland is free.'

The formal proceedings in the convention hall were brief and of the cut-aud-dried type,, but as is usual at political bodies of this sort, the happenings of greatest iutr fcst were benind the scenes. In the convention hall Mr. Ferry Belmont delivered the speech which he had prepared, bnt deprived the oppon ents of the national Democratic ad ministration of a chance to display their feeling by omitting a deun icia tion of the third term idea contem plated when the speech was written.

The. speaker began by showing the enormous traliic which has developed m recent years on the lakes and rivers tributary to theiu and the marvelous exiort trade which has developed iu connection with tho great iulaud seas. 'lfct the u-ioos cnanneis oi tne lakes," he said, "Ik? extended from the loot of Lake Erie to the Atlautic aud commerce will receive au imetus that will give results as startling as the un paralleled progress of the pas.t. Aud it will result in a great development of the rich northwest on both sides of the line. I care not in what direction t may reach to Lake Ontario, whether it be by the Welland deepened to 2D feet or by a new channel through the slate of New York, the result in either case will be the same. Give us the 2i-foot depth to the At lautic and we w-ill see the huge cargiK-s of J.ooo to 7,iOO tons that will lie floated on the completed channels of the lake . . ... . , , r . , route from the far west from isuttalo carried along iu the same grade ships without break of bulk to the ocean, perhaps across the Atlantic to be un loaded at Liverpool or Glasgow." RUSSIA HAS THE LEAD. Kneland Alarmed Ovrr Her Rival's throw ing I'uwrr lu ( lilna. London, Sept. 2.V It is announced that, with the aaction of the c.ar. a Russian bank with very lare capital will be opened for business soon at l'ekiu with a branch at Shanghai. Some of the most prominent financiers aud merchants in Hnssia are interested in the scheme, which" haa been secretly canvassed. The charter has just been issued. The enterprise is regarded as another indication of Russia's determ ination to wrest the commercial as well the political supremacy iu the far east from Kutflaud. Tradiuj; eniniis.i ries of Russia have freely assisted the government of I hina with monev, unci have already penetrated to the interior of China where they are supplanting the British. An article which appeals in The tilobe indicates the alarm with which the English view the situation. This article says: Russia will unquestionably extort from China the rifrht of way through Manchuria or the Trans-.Silerian ra 1 way. A strupgle for supremacy iu Asia is upon us. If British influence does not kJ under altogether we must bear our part in the old masterful, English spirit, without delay. Thanks to our good relations with Japan, we ought to be able to work that power to our ad vantage politically and commercially." BAD CHARGE AGAINST HAWAII. Exile Ashford's Claim as to Why tin-in iot a Severe Sentem-e. London, Sept. 25. Mr. Henry La bouchere's Truth protests, iu its issue of this week, against the apathy of the English press aud parliament at the sufferings of British subjects dnriug the revolution in Hawaii and mentions particularly the cases of the Ash ford brothers, who were t'anadion barristers and who were imprisoned by President Dole's government upon the flimsiest evidence. One of them, Volney Ashford, writes to Truth suggesting that William lireig was sentenced to HO years in prison by a military commission iu Hawaii out of pique at his being nart owuer of Fan ning island, where it had beeu pro posed to laud the Canadian aud Aus tralian cable.

Ihe Plltubnric Kxponlllon. fJInce the annual Exposition hn been Inaugurated In Pittsburg there have been many successful seasons, the one of 18D4 being a particularly auspicious one. But the present sea son, which was opened Septeinlier 4. bids fair to far outstrip any record yet made In a single year. The at tendance has been uniformly large and gratifying to the management as well as to the exhibitors, there hav ing been no day yet this year when the number of visitors has fallen nnder the paying mark. Manager A. F. Keating asserts con lidently that if the management is able to accomplish all the plans it has laid out the Pittsburg Exposition will become' at least as famous, if not more noted, than any similar In stltution In the United States. He claims this year to have the largest array of agricultural implements In machinery hall that has ever been gatiierea in a public exhibit in West ern Pennsylvania, as well as the most pleasiug variety and amount of dis plays in the commercial rnd trade booths. The showing made Is with out question the best that the Expo sition has been able to make, and that Is not saying little. A particular merit of th Exposition this year Is the number of attrac tions It has secured outside the exhibits. Of all these the music Is txissibly the most popular, for it haiVecn said that the savage Is soothec? Hy music, and It Is certain that not one out of a hundred people ordinarily can lie found who does not love good music. Beginning the season the manage ment had the great band of the late Patrick 8arsdel4 (Jllmore. under- the direction of Victor Herbert. This band played until the 14th. closing Its engagement on that- date. Crowds greeted Its efforts enthusiastically at very program. On Mondnv after noon. Septeniler ltf. the Ninth Regi ment Band, of New York, began an engagement of two weeks and has proves as popular as Gilmore's. It Is pndr tha direction of Slgnor Luciano Cohterno, and the merits of the oresn ization may be readily understood w hen It Is said that It tseldom is seen outside of New - York owlni to. th i multiplicity of Its engagements nnd j its" grcvit .popularity lu tho metropolis, j It-4 leader Is one of the noted b;ilid- ; masiers of the world. Following this j bajtd Is to come the famous Inm s . Bund. None of the organizations playing for the Exposition have less than TrtJ men. Each Monday night. In connection with the band." the I'itt.-burg KximivI- tion Choral ScM-iety. the largest ImhIv ! of singers in Western Pennsylvania. I lucludiug 2 voices, tunny of tl.e.-e j being soloists, renders grand sacred j oratorios and other works, with ac companiment by the hand. The t-hor-us is under the direction of Prof. II. P. Ecker aud Is coticeded to be one of: rare capabilities. Friday nights are devoted by the band to classic::, or sytuphogrums. which embrace tha class of music understood In-st by musicians nnd critics. Beside -t lie band, there are steamers which run excursions down the Ohio river direct from the grounds and at the end of the trip they land their passengers once more In the Exjosi tion. where a second price of admis sion Is not necessary. Also iu tlie grounds are a merry-go-round, a thing of beauty and a Joy forever iu tlw childish eye. ns well as a sort of amusement which Is pleasing to older jM-ople: a switchback railway, the cars of which run without steam or elec tricity, going on the gravity plan, and a scenic tho;i!re. The last named is alone a gre;.t feature, as It shows the World's Fair t night and tlie count less illuminations which were to be seen there, including the most gor geous pyrotechnic displays which were ever known to the civilized world. In previous years there hns been complaint as to the character of the restaurant run on the grounds, some thinking the food was none too good and the prices not reasonable. As Manager Keating considers the res taurant a feature run for the accom modation of the visitors and not to swell the purses of the people running It. he has enforced a change which he says has proven satisfactory in every way. The management of the cafe has been changed and a reform made In the sort of food as well as In the prices, so that visitors are guarantees! as satisfactory service In the grounds as anywhere in the city onti.!e. Thus a visitor can come In the morning and stay until 11 o'clock in the evening If such a course Is preferable. The railroads re-aching Pittsburg hav? granted concessions this tear which were never known to the Pt posiiion !fon. At all oints within a radius of l.'rO miles of Pittsburg, tickets mar Is obtained at I lie rate of 1 cent per mile for each direction, traveled. These can ! sc-ur-d near ly every clay in the week.
