Va Irestro.vcd by Suspicious Spaniards
Gives Good Eviden-e.
Washington, Sept. 25. (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

York. 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

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.

The Chicago Convention Mark
ed by Intense Enthusiasm.
IRELAND'S FREEDOM IX VIEW.
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. Though theie le
coinj aratively few Irishmen le!t in Ire
land to bear the blows of the cpi rcrsoi.
there are 20, O.trfM of lr shine u in every
part of the world readv and anxious to
strike the blow that hall make the old
country free "
Mr. Finerty condemned t!:ft foteign
policy of the L'uited States, and in -ou-
c.usion said: "We are here to pro
claim to the world that the Irish race
is bv no ii. cans defeated or disheail-
em d. 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.'

NEW ' YORK DEMOCRATS.
A Lively C ntet Develops at, the First
, ' Iri.y of the Convention.
Syraci'k, Sept. 2". The opening
day of the Democratic state conven
tion was a crncial one with the Dem
ocrats of New York state. 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.
There were the usual cheers for the
party leaders, when their names were
mentioned and many of the leaders of
the state were in the city, conspicuous
among them, Senators Hill and
Murphv, ex-Gover Flower, Charles S.
Fairchild. of the state Democracy, aud
the Tammany men from Gotbani, al
though M r. Croker. if he took any part
in the councils, did so by wire, since he
was in New Haven, many miles away.
Behind the scenes in the councils of
the priucipal committees there were
battles um.er way which directly over
showed the struggles of the various
candidates for places on the aiticrent
tickets. The position to which the
partv should commit itself ou the qnes
. m , . i . . . i . .
tion oi more lioerai CMimiuy en isoianj
was a boue of contention and some
feeling was stirred over the minor con
tests for Tepreseutation, but the ouly
bitter issne was that ltweeii tho state
Democracy of New ork city and
Tammany, where the former claimed a
fractional representation of one-third
and the latter asserted its claim to the
side control of the party machinery in
the metropolis. 1 lie result was prac
tically a victory for Tammany, although
the state Democracy got a small part
of the loaf.

Deep Waterways Convention In
Session at Cleveland.
DELEGATES PROMINENT TEOrLF.
Tlie American Conrrrnn and the Irouiion
ion Parliament Well Represented A
Deep Waterway to the Sea the Oliject of
the Catherine; tine IH-le(;ate' Speech.
Cleveland, Sept. 25. The delegates
to the first annual convention of the
Deep Waterways association in session
here constitute a representative body.
Tho American congress, the Dominion
parliament, big cities on both sides of
the interuational bouudary, great uni
versities aud scientific associations,
boards of trade and orgauiations of
engineers and vessel owners all loices
in the commerce and civilization of the
American continent are represented.
There are among the delegates men
prominent iu the scientific, educational,
commercial, financial aud iudustrial
world aud all are inspired by a com
mon purpose to break the fetters which
have heretofore bound the commerce of
the great lakes by opening a deep wa
terway to the sea. The convention
may not be able to provide the means
for making the great national improve
ment, but it will discuss the ways and
endeavor to select the best.
One of the uriucinal papers at the
convention and which explains the ob
ject of the association better than any
other is that of James Fisher. Q. C.
M. P., of Winnipeg. 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.
A I-ake Vessel Overdue.
Savlt Ste marie. Mich., Sept. 25.
A dispatch from Port Arthur says that
the Canadian 1'acinc s hue passenger
steamer Alberta is 30 hours overdue
there. The Alberta left the JSault last
Sunday morning. She hud a good
sized passenger list.
Indiana's Trial Late.
Washington, Sept. 25. It is reported
to the navy department that the battle
ship Indiana will be ready for her trial
trip Oct. 15. As she has yet to be
cleaned and painted she will probably
be sent to Halifax for dock in in about
ten days.
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. Thus t tins
lcii made MKIlile for all of Western
IVntisylvnnif. Ea-trn Ohio. an.l
much of West Virginia to se the Ex
position. Machinery II n 11 contains iiovclti.se
which have neer been conip'i red in
any show ever seen In Pittabiirg.
Among these are a piece of armor
plate weighing 11 tons, which tewk

the largest piece of pure plumbago
ever mined, a piece of coal weighing
7 tons, the largest piece ef coal ever
mined, a piece of oke over 1 feet

stone said to have the specific gravity
and break ir ir strength of granite and
countless other peculiar and interest
ing things. The coke region is faith
