lullows:
Mit. n.vnnisoN's nuMAiiKS.

spec nl;y delighted lii cans of the fact
ihit 1 am a sift of a Kmndfalhu- to
i his slilp, and 1 confess the fact more
willinwly because she Is so young a
slip. When I was In a posltirn to
luiv.; some influence with the secretary
hi the navy, I told him I wauled the
b st lahlp then build'UR to hp named
niter Indiana, and I bucks he fallowed
my h. A company of Indiana pen
pie have emiie h re tnil.iy, all thosp
vho could st i away, hut all Ind'a' lans
are nnlmnted by pride in the ship;
1 ve of the (Ins, and confidence- in the
men the tnclbina carried. This is a
mauuiiict-nl silver present, (ioveruor
.M tthrws I' era t ikes pleasure In the
while metal, while we t ike philure
i i the fact 'that so much silver will
iiccr get into the mints. Here is free
sliver, CuM'.ain Kvans, and in all that
this means. Is Indiana a free silwr
slate.
"We have wrought wndcrs iu the
l.tiilillmr of our navy. When I was a
semi lor 1 recall wlrh much renret the
liai t.san Jealousy manifes ed in recon
structing and rrbuildini; the navy. It
no tiled nie (hen, und 1 rejoice no.v
that e have passed thai state of
affairs and that eonsress does not

a I ), m ir.tc O'' a fl 'iublicin sccre
tary, when asked to build addlt ons
i i our navy, for fear of building up
the i.avy yarl for elect on t me. The
ji.o"ies4 n a de in oil tavy has hcon
I'mny.lnir.. The count ri8 of Kurcpe
had spent millions t-f dollais upon their
ii ivies will e we fell b hind for twenty-live
years nit r our civ.l war. Now
we come in to renp njl the beneflls of
Hie bhedera and f.Uilay of those coun
tr.es. We have na;ched up to them
until we now stand nbrens. of the
kreat naval constru tions of the world.
Who says we shall not go bevond
Mini?
"True, KiiKland lias more ships than
Vie have, but she needs every one of
them to protect her Interests. She must
look out for her numerous colonies and
yuuiil her various interests, for some
of the Kuropean nations are cutchlng
op with her. Hut we do not need such
u navy, however, we are a commercial
people and our commerce Is extending,
i uir people are scattered all over the
earth. We send missionaries to far off
lands. We must lake care of them. We
must have shins to speak of our power
nt home, and if necessary let the com
manders clear decks to protect our cit
V.ctis from oulrage abroad,
. OI'R FOREIGN POLICY,
"i mr foreign policy has not been a
sentimental one, but our sympathies
hrtve gone out to every one suffering
lor freedom. We are not going to seize
oilier people's countries. We are not
;i nation of llllbuaterers. But other
countries are reaching out. The world
is not big enough for them. They have
ome to the time like that which came
to Alexander, when the world was
not large enough. There Is a hemis
phere here In which we have an in
I rest. We have a watermelon, so to
speak, and when it Is to be sliced, we
aie not going to allow nnybody else to
at it all up. Our people are holding
, undresses of arbitration. This Is all
oiy well, but do you notice that de
i.iauds for indemnity are never made
opou a. country that has battleships
like this. How these ships do enforce
a diplomatic note. ' We must get out
into the sens everywhere und look out
for our citizens. We don't want to be
treated like Africa has been."
Mr. Harrison then proposed "three
dicers for the good ship, the olllcers
and men, and (he Hag above her," und
the cheers were heartily given. Then
Captain Kvuns stepped forward say
ing ".My lads, three cheers for the men
who enve us this sliver" and the Indi
ana resounded with the lusty shunts of
Hie Kulluiit crew.
Tlie guests were then taken on a tour
o inspection over the ship, after which
they were transported to the Dolphin,
which conveyed them back to New
York.
SUB DID NOT WANT HIS CHILD.
I'lirifiiiK I'not-Kacc nil Wyoming
Avenue Yesterday Morning.
A neatly dressed young man walking
at the top of his speed, with n woman
about half a block In his wake, run
ning as fast as she could with a baby
In her arms, and shouting 'at pedes
trians und storekeepers attracted by
her cries to "stop him," "catch that
man" and the like, caused no little ex
citement on Wyoming avenue yester
day morning.
A' number of men Joined In the chase
and at the cathedral he was overtaken
Iv Special OIHccr Spellman.
'"ThrrV' ?a'd the woman upon com
ing no with the fugitive, "take It; you
won 'I leave It with me," at the same
time forcing the baby into his arms.
A big crowd had collected by this
lime, and as the oflicer could gel no
.head nor tail to the story owing to the
excitement, he took the Interested par
ties to the central pollen station and
alloiviid Chief Holding to figure it out.
It was a rase of domestic Infelicity
crowing out of "too much relatives."
Keuhen Ixiter was the man, and the
woman who gave him chase was his
wife's sister. On the previous night he
bad turned his wife out of doors. Yes
terday morning he dressed in his best
and stijrted olT, giving the sister-ln-Imw
the Impression that he intended
I i leave for good and aye. She deter
mined ithat the child would rot be left
oi. her hands and accordingly set out
' with tile, babe In arms to find the de
camlins father. Hhe traced him alt
the way from their home on Hampton
street to the cential city, and after an
hour's wardering about the principal
streets, espied the object of her search
coming out of a eal on.
He saw her about the same time and
started on a half run to get away from
her. She broke into a full run and as
her best speed with the extra weight
sho was carrying was about equal to
his quirk walk, she managed to keep
him In sight and slowly gain on him.
While they were In the station house
the wife appeared upon the scene with
a warrant from Alderman Howe, charg
ing her worse half with desertion and
non-support. At the alderman's otllce
the wife at the alderman's suggestion
agreed to a compromise, but the hus
band avered he would rather go to Jail
than go back home with her. When,
however, the Jail began to loom up he
changed his mind and agreed to go
home and take care of his wife If she
would withdraw the prosecution.
SOME ONE NEGLIGENT.
Coroner's Jury Unable to Decide Just
Who Is Responsible for William
Burke's Death in Dkkoo Shaft.
After hearing u lot of testimony con
cerning the-Horldent to Willluin Burke,
of Jleylert avenue, who was roasted
by bus iu the Olcksiui shaft on Sept.
.', and who died a few days later, the
coroner's Jury caine tn the following
verdict last night:
"We, the undersigned jurors, find that
William llurke came to his death by
being burned by as in the Dickson
shaft on Sept. li, and we tlnd that the
accident was the result of negligence
on the pint of some party or pontes
unknown to the Jury, by diverting the
air current of the chamber. K. M.
I'ennypucker. John T. Hrown, Wallace
li. .Moser. Charles K. O Malley, O. M.
Custer and .lames K. Cush."
Aline Inspector Patrick Hlewltt or
dered Coroner I.ongstreet to make an
investigation of the ruse, and he waa
present at the Inquest. The Jury was
down in Dickson shaft last Friday
morning and saw the place the boy
was burned. The lirst witness called
last night was Morgan Morgans, the
lire boss. His ditty Is to examine the
workings every day nnd see that every
thing Is safe for the miners and la
borers. Young llurke was roasted in the
chamber driven by .Martin hangup. Mr.
.Morgans examined it before 5 o'clock
on the morning of the f.th, and found
it free from standing gas; he was there
between W and 10.3U again and found
no gas. The condition of the air was
all right, the circulation was strong,
and a canvass door at the branch of
Langan's chamber was in place. The
next time he visited the chamber was
on the day after the accident, ubout
noon. The canvas door was then down.
Peter S. .Mai la, another lire boss, w hose
duty is to inspect another part of the
mine, was sworn and he had nothing
more to say thun that lie went to the
chamber the day alter the boy was
burned; he just went there to see how
It happened.
Alexander Aiknian. the mine fore
man, was In the chamber between 30
and 11 o'clock the morning nf the acci
dent, nnd then there was no gas. About
twenty-tlve minutes after the explosion,
which was at 4 o'clock In the after
noon, he went again to the chamber
und found nearly eighteen Inches of
gas In it, which Is a. dangerous vol
ume. Mr. Aikmun gave it ns his opin
ion that the gas had nccummulated
because some one had taken down the
canvas door at the branch.
He was asked who could have done
It. und answered he was at a loss to
ki;ow. He made diligent inquiry and
could not tlnd out.
Martin Durkin, miner, was sworn.
He works lu the next chamber to
where the boy was burned. He was in
the mine at the time, heard the explo
sion and saw the boy lying at the
blanch with his clothes afire. Mr.
Durkin usked the boy where he set
the gas off and was told it was In
Langan's chamber.
Mr. I.angan was sworn. The rea
son he did not work that day, he said,
was because he wanted to take a day
off. There was no standing gas In the
place the day before. William Tlghe,
the driver boss, who gave orders to
have the car standing in Langan's
chamber pulled out, testified that he
told the runner to have the car taken
out, but he left at noon to go to a
funeral and doesn't know anything
further about the case. Foreman Aik
inan told him to have the car taken
out. nnd at the same time sa;d the
chamber was safe. Mr. Ticrha then
told the runner ihe chamber was safe.
Patrick Hrennan. the runner, was
the last witness sworn. In pur-uanc?
of orders given to him he ordered the
car taken out. Young Burke went in
to take the car out rf Langan's cham
ber and met with the accident. The
witness did not ki.ow the canvass wa
torn down, and the car was not taken
out sooner, although he was oidered at
noon to do so. Just because Langaa
was not working that day and there
wus no particular hurry.
tennisTjrVevcloses.
Chester and Itillingt Win the Doub'c
anil Mingle Priz s.
Rome of the most execiting play ever
witnessed at a tennis tournrment In
tills city developed In the linal doublej
between Chester nnd Billings urn Heit
kamp nnd F. P. Fuller on the Country
club courts yesterdaj. The lesult was
to he determined by the best three out
of tive sets, but the play was so elos
and sharp that the whole five sets
were necessary and included two 'van
tage sets, each pair winning one.
The final singles were not played,
the two contestants. Chester and Hill
ings, were obliged to leave the city
late In the day and, after the doubles,
were too fatigued to play off the
single event. However, tiny were per
mitted to take the cup with them and
decide its ownership on the courts at
Yale, where they are students.
In the seml-llnnls Chester ami Hill
ings won from McLeod and Linen, hut
the winners had to do some fast work
as ind'eated by the tallies 6-4. K-4. An
easier v ctory w is sc red by II Itkamp
and F. 1. FulDr over Huntington and
L. P.. Fuller. The tally was li-L', -.
An hour nnd a half was consumel
before Chester nnd li'llings by defeat
lug lleiikamp and Fuller in the finals
were declared the tournament win
ners. The tally was 8-S, 6-", 7-.ri. :!-;!,
6-1.
Play was begun nt !.S0 o'clock and
did not trminiite' unt'l after 1 o'clock,
but during this long period the differ
ent eveats, especially the final, w n
so sharply contested that none of the
sp ctators left.
Regarding the propened golf tourna
ment no definite c.jnclus'on has been
reached. Home arrangement may be
made at a meeting of the club govern
ing board that Is to take place within
the next few days.
SPRINTED FOR $100 A SIDE.
Ilig Crowd Witnessed the K.vcnl at
the Driving Park.
About 250. of the sporting fraternity
of Taylor and vicinity witnessed a 100
yard sprint between David Harris, of
Taylor and .Inmes Mulligan, of Sibley,
at the Scranton Driving park ester
day afternoon' for tVHt a side. Mulli
gan was an easy winner, breaking the
tape with over two yards to spare.
Considering the fact that each man
was handicapped a yard for a false
start, the time of ten nnd seven-eighths
seconds was very fast.
The stakeholder was Louis tteese, of
Taylor. John Ward, of the West Hide,
was referee, and William Hohblns. of
Taylor, starter. It was the first pro
fessional race for Harris, but Mulli
gan, the winner, has on several occa
sions ran for money. Both are young
men and work In the mines.

Sporting Kdltor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: In this morning's Issue of your
paper Mr. McAndrew, of Olypliunt, make
a Very giuve charge against me. He does
not undertake lo unswer my letter of the
l'.illl lust, but goes buck to the 4th of last
July to tlnd something to cover up the hole
he wus compelled to cruwl into last Sat.
unlay and only comes out to defame a
character far above Ills In every respect.
In ihe tirsi place, I did nut speak a half
dozen words with the tongue pugilist from
Olyphant und therefore could not have
curried on the conversation he speaks of.
I urn not afraid to mention the umpire's
name us he was; It was James MuUinnls,
and every banc ball follower knows his
honesty und ability as an umpire. I em
phatically deny tlml 1 offered .Mr. McGin
ts one penny whether we won or lost, i
also deny that I held any conversation
whatever with Mr. .McAndrew In regard
to the game or umpire; and every Impar
tial observer knows thut Olyphant got
the best of every close decision.
In regard to the game Tuesday Mr. Mew
Andrew knows thut he would not allow
.Mr. (Illlespie lo give me an order for our
expenses until I ronsented to cull the game
a draw. Now It would please me verv
much to meel Mr. McAndrew and Air. Mo
(lurrln al The Tribune office at any time
it suits those gentlemen and we would be

SLAVIN THROWS THE SPCNfiE.
Defeated in Five Rounds by Steve
O'Donncll.
Mazpeth, L. I., S'pt. 21. Stjvo
O'Dmnell fought Frank Sluviu to a
fttaflstill In the lifth round at the
Kn.Vire Athletic club tonight, and the
latter's seconds, seeing their man was
all but out, threw up the spnuue after
the round had pone one minute and
thirty-live seconds, sslavin fuuuiit
wildly till through, and the bell only
saved him in the fourth round. After
tne fight Sluvln uddressed the crowd
as they were fllluir out. He said:
"I'm licked tonight, Kcntlcnieu, i,ltt i
think the man that is behind O'Don
ncll will Klve me aiin:hcr chance w hen
I am In better condition. I have been
hurt ever since Thursday, ami only
came here go as not to disappoint tin?
public and my backer."
As lone as O'Donncll mixed It up
Sluvln was the Blronster at Ihe short
r!nf. but when Steve stood off it was
all up with S-iuvin. About l.aOu sports
made the juuriiev to see the event,
which was to have beii n i0-rouiui
contest. The crowd had scarc-ly been
seated when a rumor wns started to
the effect that Hluvln had hurt his
arm, shoulder ami back by a fall last
Thursday and thai he was in no con
dition to Unlit. It was slated that he
had only come over to make an ap
pearance und had done no work since
i.ie alleged accident. The betting wus
all In favor of Hlavlri. and the majority
of the sports seemed to think that the
"accldeni" was a well laid scheme to ,
Induce the O'Donncll cniitli'cnl to put

would prove too much for O'Oonnell'M
