Cold Weather Puts an Abrupt Erd to Races at Rigby Park. Bowdoin Fool Ball Notes Changes on the Maine Central Railroad. Lewiston, Oct. 21.—A special to the Journal from Rangeley, says: Th fishing season has closed and as th:: city hunter, who is thirsting for gore, is heading for the Aroostook, and who will not stop short of a moose, the guides find time to discuss matters of general interest to the craft. The annual meeting of the Guides' Association is due next Monday, and considerable discussion among a cer tain few, arises as to the policy of the association for the ensuing year. Some of the guides are dissatisfied with the steps taken by President MaJhison, relative to the registration law and still others are holding to the method pursued by their president. A meeting was held, tne other night, to talk over matters and it is learned that an attempt to remove the presi dent of the association will be mad: and another man, not so persistent m his views on the registration law, elected. Another change talked of is that of changing the number of direc tors from 7 to 3. The association will run the hatchery the coming year and are already taking spawn on Kenne bago stream for that purpose. AN ABRUPT ENDING Cold Weather Puts Quietus on Rigby Races —But One Event Finished. Portland, Oct. 21.—The meeting for Maine horses at Righy ended abruptly, today, on account of the intolerably cold weather. The unfinished- 2.24 class was completed and the remainder were de clareu off. Two heats were trotted in the 2.24 class. Lucky Roy proved an easy winner in the first, hut in the second Hay den caught Ramsdell napping and drove passed him before the veteran realized that he had any competitors.

Brunswick, Oct. 21.—(Special).—Ow ing to the crippled condition of the Bowdoin foot ball eleven, Manager Stephen E. Young and Capt. Charles D. Moulton have deemed it expedient to cancel the Dartmouth game sched uled for Saturday, Oct. 23. With Stan wood, Clarke, McMillian, Stoekbridge and Kendall unable to participate in the contest, it is clearly unadvisable to make the long and tedious trip to Han over. Every effort will be made, how ever, to put the team in condition for the rest of this season’s games. Next Wednesday, Oct. 27, the New Hamp shire college team will line up against Bowdoin at Brunswick and the Satur day following the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology will play on the Bowdoin Athletic field. Mr. Warren of Harvard, who has been coaching Bowdoin since the open ing of the season, left Brunswick, the first of the week, and it is remored that he will coach the Portland High school team for the remainder of the fall. Jerre H. Libby, Bowdoin ’96, arrived at Brunswick, today, and will coach the ’Varsity for the next few days. Libby played end on the ’Varsity during his college course, and is acknowledged to be one of the best and pluckiest play ers that ever graduated from Bowdoin. Three elevens appeared for practice this afternoon, and the work was most encouraging. The ’Varsity will pul forth every effort to redeem the un creditable showing which it made in the game with Tufts and Bates. Frederick H. Dole, Bowdoin. ’97. ol Windham Center, has accepted the po sition of assistant instructor in German at Bowdoin. He will enter upon his duties Jan. 1. Maine Central changes. New Man in Chief Engineer'! Position—Supply Agent's Office Abolished. Portland, Oct. 21.—Of the many ru mored changes on the Maine Central road, a few came to pass, Thursday. Theodore L.

Mr. Black will be continued in that capacity on the Mountain Division, while Mr. Robin son will be dropped from the force. A. L.

Y., Oct. 21.—For the first time in the history of murder trials an X-ray photograph has been offered in evidence. This occurred in the Haynes murder trial in this city, this afternoon. In this case the prose cution claims that a 32-calibre bullet struck Allen on the jaw that is split and one pieqfe was deflected into the chin and that'the other piece is in the back of Allen’s head. The defence claims that the sub stance at the base of Alienas skull is not a fragment of a 32-calibre bullet, but it is a complete 32-ealibre bullet. To prove this .claim the defence pro duced an X-ray photograph of Allen’s neck showing the substance which re sembles a bullet near the second vete brae at the base of the skull. Dr. Gilbert Cannon of this city made the photograph and from experiments says that the bullet is not a 32-calibre bul let. Both sides argued for several hours, this afternoon, over the offer in evi dence of the photograph by the de fence. Justice Wright finally allowed it and it was examined carefully by tip. jury.

Every man ex pressed himself as particularly grateful for the rescue, especially, when a short time afterwards they saw their ship pounded to pieces on the shoals and her remains together with her cargo of piles scattered along the shore. Captain McLean stated that he hail a good passage until last night, when about 50 miles from High land Light, the wind began to blow hard from the northeast. The schooner staggered on before the gale, until shortly before daylight a heavy squall struck her, and the main and mizzen masts went over, weakening the fore mast and carrying away some of the standing rigging of that mast. The crew endeavored to keep a little sail on her and passed Highland Light with some prospect of being able to keep her off shore. The fall of the foremast, however, settled her fate, and Capt. McLean sahl that it was a toss up whether any of .hem would reach shore. All seven of the men were cared for, tonight, at the life saving station, and will leave for Boston in the morning. The crew lost all their effects. The Lamper was a good sized vessel. 130 feet over all, and 314 tons burden. She was built at Mystic, Ct„ in 1873, and was down in the maritime register as hailing from Chicago. FIRE IN HER CARGO. 8ritish Steamer Wastwater Puts in at Halilax With Cargo on Fir*. Halifax. N. S.. Oct. 21.—The British steamer Wastwater, from Savannah. Gn., bound to Bremen, put In here, today, with a bad fire in her cargo which the crew has been fighting for three days. The steamer sailed from Savannah. Friday, and the fire was discovered, Tuesday. Since then the men on board have been deluging the hold with water in the hope of extinguishing the flames, but so far as they could judge, the fire was gaining on them. Immediately on the discovery of the fire. Capt. Stephen headed his ship for Halifax. When the hatches were thrown off. today, the smoke belched forth quickly and it was soon seen that the flames were raging quite briskly. Smoking and steaming bales of cotton are being discharged into lighters lying alongside the steamer in the stream and ,vill be placed in fields on the Dartmouth tide of the harbor.

No Change in the Batlots Taken in the Last 38 Hours. Counsel Will Move, Today, to Admit Luetgert to Bail in $15,000. Chicago, Oct. 21.—The Associated Press, tonight, obtained the one great feature missing in the famous Luet gert trial, the sworn testimony of the defendant himself, Adolph ,L. Luetgert. Standing, tonight, in the gloomy JaJl adjoining the grim looking greystone court building in which his remarkable trial had at last been brought to a finish, the burly sausage maker capped the climax of the extraordinary series of events which began with his sensa tional bankruptcy and the alleged frightful, diabolism of boiling his wife to death at midnight in a vat in his factory cellar. Closely following the final results of the trial which has world wide atten tion, Luetgert made underoath a state ment for The Associated Press, con cerning the fearful crime charged against him, the first sworn statement yet made by him, and the first state ment of such a kind ever known In A"\\\\ '.r ADOI.PH LUETGERT. newspaper annals. The affidavit was put in writing in due legal form and is certified to by a notary public. Ex-Judge Wm. A. Vincent, the lead ing counsel for the defendant in this celebrated case, the man to whose brains and skill and energy Luetgert beyond a doubt owes his great legal victory, gave consent to the affidavit being made. The scene in the jail when Luetgert took the oath was as dramatic as the circumstances were unique. In the dimly lighted jjail cor ridor, Luetgert standing erect and grasping the iron bars that still kept him from liberty, lifted his right hand and solemnly assented as the notary ad ministered the binding form. Luetgert. the notary, and a represen tative of The Associated Press eonfet red together for a few moments and then Luetgert, without hesitation, made affidavit and signed it in ink with the hand that is alleged to have com mitted one of the most fiendish crimes on record. The affidavit explicitly de clares Luetgert's innocence. The doc ument in full is as follows: To the public: The result of my trial ending, today, is a victory for me be cause of the disagreement of the jury. Hut I am very much displeased anil very much surprised that the jury did not bring in a verdict of not guilty. I did not kill my wife, and do not know where she is, but I am sure that it is only a question of time until she comes home. I did not go upon the witness stand because my lawyer. Judge Vincent, was bitterly opposed to my doing so, and because he advised me it was not necessary. I am grateful for the tremendous change in public sentiment in my favor, and time will demonstrate that I am not only an innocent man, but a very grievously wronged man. (signed) Adolph L. Luetgert. Subscribed and sworn to .before me, this 21st day of October, A. D. 1897. (signed) M. F. Sullivan, Notary Pubn The gray light of a cold autumn morning straggled through the win dows of Judge Tuthill's court today, as Adolph L. Luetgert heard from the foreman of the 12 men who have been considering his case for the past 66 hours, the words: “We are unable to agree upon a verdict.” Imperturbable as ever, evincing no joy at the words, the wonderful nerve of the northsider was with him to the end. He stood up and with only a good-natured smile, shook hands with his son, Arnold, his counsel and busi ness partner, Wm. Charles and in less than five minutes was led back to the jail, the jury dismissed and the great trial was over. The 12 men were divided as follows: For conviction and the death penalty— Hieckhold, Uoyd, llibby, Mahoney, Beh miller, Hosmer, Shaw, Franzen and Fowler. For acquittal—Harley, Hol bird and Barber. Immediately after they were dis charged, the Jurymen requested to be allowed to return to the room which has been the scene of their discussion for so long. This was granted, and without permitting any one to get near them, the judge sent them to their room. As the jurors filed into court about 10.40 o’clock, they were a haggard-look ing set of men. Several of them were collarless, and the eyes of all of them were swollen and red. The Jurors took the seats they had occupied daily for over two months, and v-aited for the appearance of the prisoner and his law (Continued on page 2.) OLD IRONSIDES Celebrates 100th Anniversary of Launching at Boston. Literary Exercises at Old SouthChurch —Naval Parade in Afternoon. Immense Crowds Out—Sketch of the Gallant Old Ship's Career. Boston, Oct. 21.—The predictions of the weather bureau saying that today would be stormy, have been veritied. T he day set apart for the celebration of the centennial of the launching of the I'nited States frigate Constitution in this city, broke with dull and lowering skies and shortly after 6 o’clock rain began falling with no intermission dur ing the forenoon. The enthusiasm of the citizens, how ever. was not dampened and every where the buff and blue button an nexed to a drizzling streamer with the word "Constitution” in gold, was dis played by pedestrians. From all the national, state and city buildings and the business houses, national flags flags have been brought to the vicinity of Constitution wharf, the place where "Old Ironsides” made he first trip into the ocean. The street decorations were elaborate. The state offices and public schools closed at noon and all the employes in the city department who are mem bers of the Kearsarge Association of naval veterans and similar naval or l ganizations who desired to participate in the naval parade, were given a half holiday, without loss of pay, l>y Mayor Quincy. In all the public schools pat riotic exetcises were held during the morning session, the nature of the ex ercises being left entirely to the differ ent masters. The chief feature of the day's cele brations was the literary exercises in the Old South church and the naval parade, this afternoon. Long before the hour assigned for the exercises to begin, the historic Old South church was filled to its utmost capacity by men, women and children. The parade was under the direction of Brigadier-General J. L. Caster, in spector-general of Massachusetts, who is chief marshal, and on its way through the streets the various organ izations were heartily cheered by thou sands of spectators. The parade started from the foot of State street at 2 o’clock, and after marching: through a number of streets in the business district reached the Old South church at the close of the liter ary exercises there. At this point a halt was made to allow Governor Wol cott, Secretary of the Navy John D. Long, Mayor Quincy and other in vited guests, to join the procession. After the line had been re-formed the parade continued through the principal streets of the North End. Never in the history of the city have the men of XTncle Sam's navy appeared to better advantage than in the naval parade. The marines and sailors from the vessels of the North Atlantic squadron in port, comprising the Mas sachusetts, New York, Texas. Iowa and the Brooklyn, were in line, accompan ied by the Massachusetts naval brig ade. Kearsarge naval Veteran Associa tion. and survivors of the 8th Massa chusetts volunteers. For fully an hour before the time announced for the opening of the ex ercises, the members of the staffs of the first and second brigades Massa chusetts Volunteer militia who came ashore, were busily engaged in seating those present, and pleasing music was furnished by a band located in the bal cony. Gen. Curtis Guild, Jr., announced: “His Excellency, Roger Wolcott, Gov ernor of Massachusetts,” at 1.15 o’clock. The Governor was accompanied by the speakers of the day, including Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Assist£*t Secre tary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, Rear Admiral Sicard and Mayor Quincy. Gov. Wolcott acted as presiding of ficer during the exercises. Prayer was offered by Chaplain Dowse of the Massachusetts Senate. Gov. Wolcott then delivered the opening address. He said: This is a memorable day. With pro found gratification the Commonwealth of Massachusetts welcomes back to her old moorings the most famous vessel of the United States. With decoration and banners, with the roaring of can non and the acclaim of her people, the Commonwealth commemorates the 100th anniversary of the launching in her own waters of the frigate, now old and dismantled, which won imperish able glory for American seamanship. Old Ironsides won her victory not alone because her armament was heavier than that of any other frigate of her day. nor because the lines of her hull and her sail plan enabled her to outsail the line of battleships of the enemy, but because she was handled with consummate seamanship, was fought with an accuracy of gunnery that was unequalled, and was manned from the quarterdeck to the forecastle, with a crew inspired with that heroic determination and ardor that reck not of death when glory Is the prize. On the 21st of October, 1865, on the morning of Trafalgar, the day that won him immortal renown and sepul ture in Westminister Abbey, Lord Nel son ran up on his flagship, the Victory, the signals that bore to ships of his fleet the message, “England expects every man to do his duty.” In like manner America, as she gazes with admiration upon these mighty en gines of potential destruction which constitute her new navy, never to be' used, pray Clod, In unjust aggression— as she notes the perfection of tlielr mechanism, their massive armor and the blasting power of their broadsides, (Continued on page j.)

New 'iork, Oct. 21.—After a confer ence. today, between Chairman II. C. Johnson of Kings county, and Chair man Lemuel K. Quigg of New York county, a statement was given out at Republican headquarters here that Tammany has causedgiganticcoloniza tion in Queens county. It was also said that Contractors Sheehan and O'Brien who have contracts amounting to $3. 600,000. are rushing the work in Queens county and that all the laborers have registered. The total registeration in the borough of Queens is 25.850. The announcement that Mayor Har rison of Chicago, is coining here to speak in behalf of Judge Van Wyek, the Tammany nominee for mayor, is not received with favor even by the Tammany sachems. Fron the outsent the Republicans have been criticised by the Democratic managers and the leaders and newspaper supporters of the Citizens' Union movement, for im porting campaign speakers, notably among whom were Senators Foraker and Thurston. The acceptance of Mayor Harrison’s tender of services is regarded as a stultification of the Democratic position on the subject. Col. W. L. Brown gave voice to the dissent in the sentiment, today, when he said: "I wrote to Mr. Sheehan, some little time ago, protesting against any scheme of this kind. I have received a letter from Mr. Sheehan in which he said that he entirely agreed with me in the stand I had taken. It is bad politics, unnecessary and illtimed to bring Mayor Harrison to New York. “Who, then,” Col. Brown was asked, “is responsible for Carter Harrison's visit if Mr. Sheehan did not favor it?” “That” he replied, “I leave you to conjecture.” A PECULIAR EDITORIAL. The Havana La Luchauj on Potitiona of Cuba, Spain and United States. Havana, Oct. 20.—La Luchauj. in an energetic leading editorial, entitled “War is convenient for Spain” says: “The sensational American press is renewing the campaign in favor of American in tervention. which it says will meet the approval of Congress. Uather than that we should continue enduring this sort of thing, it is preferable that our American friends should decide to in terfer. "Spain has nothing to lose. Her case Is the same as that of a poor man suing a rich one. The rich man is always the loser. Moreover, if Spain were to go to war with the American Union, it would be proof positive that in our national character style, it Is the traditional Spanish honor, which we would defend even more carefully than our lives."

JURY DISAGREE!. (Continued from page L) yers. Judge Tuthlll occupied the bench. After the clock had ticked off five minutes, the door to Judge Tuthlll's private chamber opened, and State's Attorney Deenen, ex-Judge Vincent and Attorney Phalen came out. They took their accustomed seats at the table, over which they have argued so many questions of law. Soon, Adolph L. Luetgert walked into court, followed by a bailiff. Smiling and confident, he grasped the hand of William Charles as he gained his seat, and whispered a few words into his business partner's ears. Then he sat down. Judge Tuthlll looked up at Bailiff Connor and nodded. The gray haired custodian rapped sharply for or der and commanded silence. "Gentlemen, X have called you into court to ask if you have reached a ver dict,” said Judge Tuthill. Foreman Heickhold arose and re plied: ’“Your honor, we have not,” “Is there any prospect of your reach ing one?” asked the court. “X don't think so. In fact, I know there is not—at least, that is my firm belief,” responded the foreman. “How do you stand numerically, not individually?” quired the court. “We stand nine for conviction to three for acquittal,” replied the fore man. “We have stood that way for 38 hours. There has not been a solitary change in the vote during the past 38 hours. In my opinion there it not the least possible chance of an agreement.” “What have you to say, Juror Bar ber?" asked His Honor. “We can never reach a verdict,” re plied the juror. “Every point of the evidence has been minutely discussed and it is impossible for us to agree.” “What is your impression, Juror Fowler?” asked the court. "The same as the others. We can not agree,” reulied Mr. Fowler, “vve have discussed the case thoroughly, and we cannot reach a verdict.” Judge Tuthill then called each of the Jurors by name and each responded in the same manner expressing the view that it would be Impossible for the jury to agree. Juror Harley was the last Juror called. He arose and replied firmly and with emphasis: "I do not believe we can agree upon a verdict.” "I will ask the counsel for the pris oner what they think of the situation,” said Judge Tuthill. Ex-Judge Vincent arose and re marked: “Your honor, 1 do not think from what I have listened to, that there IS any possibility of a verdict be ing returned.” “I am of the very same opinion,” echoed Attorney Phalen. "Luetgert, how does it impress you?” asked Judge Tuthill. The big fellow arose with a smile and bowed awkwardly to the court. "I am Just of the opinion of my latvyers,' said he. “What?” exclaimed Judge Tuthill, who had not caught the words of the prisoner. “I leave It tt»- nay attorneys. I be lieve Just as “they do. I don't believe they could find a verdict,” responded Luetgert, in a high tone of voloa. Then he sat down. “What do you £hlnk, Mr. Deneen?” inquired the judge, directing his gaze toward the state’s attorney. "It appears from the concensus of opinion expressed by the Jurors tha1. they cannot agree,” replied Mr. Den een. “I don’t believe they will be able to reach a verdict under the present expressed opinion of each of them that a verdict is an impossibility.” “It seems so to the court.” Then turning toward the jury. Judge Tuthill said, slowly: “The court has kept you here an exceptionally long time because the evidence was so vol uminous and so much in detail that I wished to give you full time to discuss it in all its aspects and to give you time to discuss the matter among your selves to see If there be any possibility of harmonizing your views. It is very much to be regretted that you are un able to agree. The case has been very long and protracted. It is a most Im portant case—one of the most import ant cases that has ever been tried in this county—and I was anxious that the jury could come to some conclusion, but I am bound to accept the state ment of jurors made through your foreman and individually by you, and the expression of the defendant and his counsel and the state’s attorney also has received serious consideration by me. My own judgment, indeed, con curs with all, and I think it is useless to keep you longer confined in this matter. I therefore enter an order for the discharge of this jury. The de fendant will be remanded. You will apply to the -clerk for your certifi cates.” A Sigh of relief went up an over tne court room that the end had at last been reached. There was a rush on the part of the newspaper men to get out of the building and as soon as tne bailiffs could restore quiet. Judge Tut hlll adjourned the court. The jurors returned to their room and sent out word to Judge Tuthtll that they desired that he remain in court a few minutes, as they wished to submit a re port. Twenty minutes later the jurors Sled back into court and Foreman Heickhold handed the following to Clerk Knoch, who, by order of the court, read It aloud: "We, the Jurors in the case of the peo ple of the state of Illinois vs. A. 1-.. Luet gert, tender to the presiding judge, the Hon. Richard S. Tuthlll, and the brilliant state attorney. Charles S. Deneen. and bis no less brilliant assistant, Mr. W. M. McEwen, as well as the attorneys for the defence, our most heartfelt thanks for the very kind treatment we have received at their hands, and we do not hsitate to state that were It not for the way in which they have attended to our personal comfort as well as to our sanitary con dition. the hardship would have been great. "As to the trial, we wish to state that while the evidence was such that we were unable to agree upon a verdict, one thing we did agree about, and that Is that the circumstances were such that the police had ample reason to prosecute on the showing without hearing the defence, and we commend them for having done their duty in this case.” (Signed) Foreman Heickhold, and the balance of the Jury. The jurors were evidently of the opinion that this statement was enough to give the public at this time, and declining to be interviewed. Went to State Attorney Deneen** room. Here they were given their vouchers for their long service There will undoubtedly be a motion made to admit the prisoner to ball. and. It Is thought. In a day or two. Such pro ceedings may be taken in Judge Tuthill’s court on a motion by the prisoner’s coun sel to admit him to bail, or by habeas corpus proceedings In any court of record sir. we will try him again," said MUNYON’S COLD CURE State Attorney Deneen. when asked as to the probability 6f Luetgert being brought before the court a second time. “When we will get at it, however, is something I cannot tell you now. AVe have had nine weeks of this and I must have a couple of weeks’ rest. After that we will look the ground over and get our evidence to gether. The case stands now as though there had not been a trial.' The second trial has no bearing whatever on the case just closed.” "Will you oppose a motion to admit Luetgert to bail’/” Mr. Deneen was asked. “That is something I cannot answer. I have not yet considered it.” At 1 o'clock this afternoon, counsel for Luetgert gave State Attorney Deneen no tice that they would, tomorrow morning atlO o'clock, make formal application be fore Judge Tuthill for the admission of the prisoner to bail. Judge Tuthill will be asked to fix the amount of bail at $1.3. 000, but I-uetgert will enter court pre pared to furnish bonds of $20,000 if neces sary. State Attorney Deneen was not prepared to say whether or not he would resist the application. “The admission of a prisoner to bail is discretionary with the court,” he said. "After the applica tion is made in court I may express my views upon the matter if the court de sires to hear them.” AA’hen the jurors had received their vouchers, they were taken down to the basement in an elevator and left the criminal court building by way of a rear entrance to the jail yard. They left in squads of four. They did this to avoid the great crowd that had collected in front of the building and also to get away from reporters. But the latter gentlemen were fully posed on exits and entrances of the building and met the jurors as they emerged from the jail yard. it was reluctantly aumitted by several of them that the disagreement was brought about by a wide difference of opinion regarding the rings found in the vat. the testimony of Emma and Gottlieb Schimpke and the testimony of Kenosha witnesses who positively testified that they saw Mrs. Luetgert alive in the Wis consin town. May 3. 4 and 5. Juror Har ley did not believe the rings found in the middle vat of Luetgert's factory were Mrs. Luetgert’s rings. Holabird was in clined to believe the story of the Kenosha dnce introduced, and Barber would not believe the strong evidence given by the Schimpke sisters. These were considered the strong features of the tria by these jurors. BASE BALL. At Cedar Rapids. Iowa—Baltimore. 7; All Americans. 4. HofTer and Clark, Hastings and Donahue. Ball Notes.

CONDENSED DISPATCHES. George A. Staples? the proprietor of the red house in Randolph, N. H., who shot and killed Norman Decost, Aug. 1, was indicted by the grand jury at Lancaster, N. H., Thursday, for mur der. The trial is set for next Tuesday. A mail report has come to the navy Honolulu. He reports everything quiet and has nothing to add to the report brought by private mails. He men tions that the gunboat Wheeling has arrived there and that the Yorktown is expected. George B. Anderson of the District of Columbia has been appointed con sul at Grenoble, France. He was con sul at Antigua, West Indies, and was transferred from the latter consulate He was also secretary of legation at Petrouolis, Brazil, in 1893. George Westerman, aged 60, shot his young stepdaughter, at his home at Madrid, Wednesday night, and then blew out his own brains. He had been suspected of criminal intimacy with his stepdaughter for some time. The girl would have soon become a mother. Mrs. Virginia Todd, charged with the murder of her daughter Hattie Bethel, was found guilty of murder in the sec ond degree, at Hannibal, Mo., Thurs day, the jury fixing her punishment at 75 years in the penitentiary. An insane Jeasousy was the cause of the crime. ±ne Turkish government has granted permission to the Thessalian refugees, who fled from Thessaly after the in vasion of the conquering 'Turkish troops under Edham Pasha, to return to their homes, through Phourka Pass, Monzaki Pass and two other pases, near Trikhala and Almyra. The rejection by the Creek legisla ture, Thursday, of the Dawes commis sion agreement for rehabilitation of the tribe is viewed with much concern by the interior department authorities. They regard it as of great significance as affecting the other tribes with whom the commission has to deal and con cede that it Is not unlikely to result in failure to reach an understanding with any of them. Two-thirds of the audience at Thurs day’s session of the National Spiritualist Association at'Washington, were women. Most of the morning session was devoted to the submission of reports and resolu tions. Resolutions were adopted looking to the "Liberation of Women,” setting out that women had been kept long enough In the position of Indians or idi ots and that women had helped for cen turies to upbuild homes without having partnership. The German government, according to a special dispatch from Berlin, pub lished at London, Thursday, in addi tion to the amount of money which will be asked for to increase the strength of the navy, will shortly ask for a large increase in the army estimates. While at Wiesbaden, the dispatch adds. Emperor William struck the names of many officers off the active list of the army, in pursuance of his policy of placing younger men in the most im portant posts. It has already been de cided that the German army manoeu vres of 1893 will be held in Alsace Lorraine and that they will be on an j unprecedentedly large scale.

OLD IRONSIDES (Continued from pa*« L) is not likely to forget that they will prove formidable only through the skill and valor of the men to whom they are instructed; and as she repeats the words, "come peace or war, come vic tory or temporary defeat, America ex pects every man to do his duty,”—the memories of the Constitution, the Moni tor, the Hartford and the Kearsarg? crowd upon he| mind and she knows well that her confident expectations is not misplaced. Gov. Wolcott then introduced Theo dore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, who spoke in part as follows: The moment of the Constitution’s launching was the beginning of oui navy as we know It today. It was 15 years after the launching of the Con stitution and her sister ships before that proud (lag which menaced us was humbled, and during that 15 years there were many people who objected to the maintenance of the navy, "lest we should be tempted to use it.” There were those then as now who failed to recognize that the existence of a navy is the cheapest form rf Insurance against encroachment and danger from foreign powers. It was because we had the Constitu tion and her sister ships that we came out of the war with credit, and it is due to a policy contrary to that which prompted the introduction of such ves sels that in recent years brought us into danger of gravest national dis honor. Mr. Roosevelt closed with a eulogistic reference to those who have been in strumental in making the history of the Constitution and urged that we see to it that those who are now in posi tion to do so have the means to pro tect this country should cause arise. At this point. Major William H. Garland of Boston, who was a powder boy on gun No. 10, on board the Constitution in her famous battle with the Guerriere, was presented to the audience, and Governor Wolcott himself led in three cheers for the veteran. After the applause had subsided, Mayor Quincy of Boston, delivered a short ad dress. Prof. J. W. Churchill of Andover, then read Oliver Wendell Holmes' poem. "Old Ironsides." after giving a brief history of the writing of the poem and its result in saving the frigate from destruction. The poem was received with round after round of applause. Then Major Garland addressed the audience briefly and an apostrophe written by Major Garland was read by Prof. Churchill. These verses aroused great enthusiasm in the audience and the reading of them was interrupted by frequent applause and cheers, which rose and fell with repeated force as the reading was ended. The historic address of the day was then delivered by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. He said in part: “The United States frigate Constitution has come back to Boston and to Massa chusetts. She floats again upon the wa ters into which she rushed as she left the builder’s ways, 100 years ago. She returns to us stripped of her musts and spars, of her sails and guns, of all that once made of her a thing of life. She is little more now than a hulk, roofed over and weather beaten, helpless and motionless on the seas where she ptjce.rode triumphant. “Curious Inquit-i*' have beenjit pains to tell us that o© 4tfe Ship launched in 1797 scarcely anything remains; that in her career she has been made over from truck to keel. So be it. Whether the statement is true or false matters not. It is not a given mass of wood and iron which touches our hearts and stirs our pride. It is the old ship herself, because she is the visible symbol of a great past, charged with noble memnrtes and representing sentiments, aspirations and beliefs far more lasting than ‘Brass eternal, slave to mortal rage.' “That which concerns us here is what this old man-of-war means to us. not what she is. There Is 'much music, ex cellent voice’ in this historic ship, and more fortunate than Hamlet's friends, we know the touch of it, and can make it speak. “Everyone is familiar with Turner's famous picture of 'The Fighting Temer aire Towed to Her Last Berth.' It is a masterpiece of England's greatest paint er. The splendor of the execution arrests the eye at once. The crowded river, the disturbed water, the smoky mist, the mar vellous effects of cloud and color, of light and shade, all flli the gazer with wonder and delight. “But there is much more than this. As we look at the old brown hulk dragged slowly up the murky stream, we see that the canvas before us is not only a picture, hut a poem full of pathos and of memo ries. The old ship’s course is run. She will never face the seas nor front the foe again. The end of a great career, always pathetic to the finite mind, is here very present to us. But this is not all which genius has put upon the canvas. Turner was painting more than water, sky and ship. He has touched the scene with the enchanter's wand, and we behold, as in the magic mirror, the story of England's navy. The long roll of her sea fights stretches out before us. All the great figures are there, from Grenville sinking on the Revenge, ringed around by foes, and Blake burning the Spanish ships at Cadiz and sweeping through the Mediter ranean. to Nelson dying victorious at Trafalgar. ADove ail, tne righting Temeraire speaks to us of that supreme period of England’s naval history when she had crushed France and Spain and ruled the ocean unopposed, the great sea power of the world. Against that mighty power in the full flush of-victory and dominion we took up arms, and England suddenly discovered that, ship for ship and man for man, she had more than met her match. “In 1812 the growth of the country had changed the situation. We had no organ ized militia, as we have, today, and sol diers had to be taken largely from men who had never fired a gun or mounted a horse. We could not make an army out of this material as quickly as we did in the Revolution. Ytt the bravery and fighting capacity of the race are shown by the fact that In two years we had sol diers able to fight with the best at Lun dy’s Lane and Chippewa, while the Span iards, after five years of service under Wellington, raced away at Toulouse as if they had never seen an enemy. None the less, two years spent In making soldiers after hostilities had begun were marked by disasters which suitable preparations for war would have avoided. HISTORY OF OLD IRONSIDES. Launched In Boston in 1797, She Did Valiant Service for tho United Slatee. The building of the frigate Constitu tion was the direct outcome of the ces sation of a war which was W'aged thousands of miles from American shores. Paradoxical as this simple statement may seem, it is easily un derstood when the facts are a trifle ex emplified. Portugal and Algiers had long been at war, and Portugal succeeded in con fining the piratical demonstrations of the Algerians to the Mediterranean. But in 1793 this war was terminated, and the Algerian vessels resumed their depredations outside the straits of Gib raltar. Selecting Americans as lawful prey, they began to make captures right and left. The United States government decided to reslat the demand of the Bey, and to punish these acts of barbarism. In March, 1894, an act was approved by the President, authorising the con struction or purchase of six frigates of not less than 32 guns. It was this in cipient war and act that gave birth to the Constitution. The Constitution was built In Bos ton, her keel being laid in 1794. She was built by Messrs. Claghorne Hartley, and was ready to launch in the spring of 1797. She stuck upon the ways at the first attempt to launch her, but the old notion that this mishap was an unfortunate omen for a vessel certainly proved fallacious in this In stance. She was finally launched In October. The frigate's first commander was Samuel Nicholson. The first occasion which offered itself for the services of the Constitution was the naval war against France. "Old Ironsides" became one of the squadron commanded by Captain John Barry, and ordered to redezvous at Prince Ru pert’s bay and cruise within certain defined limits. In this quassi war the Constitution fought no battles, that glory falling to her sister, the Constellation, who, un der Commodore Truxton, captured the Insurgente, one of the fastest frigates afloat. In 1800 the scene of operations was shifted to the Mediterranean, Capt. Edward Preble, on hoard the Constitu tion, took charge there of the operating squadron. A New Hampshire man, h» was little known to the officers and men on board, and came with the rep utation of a disciplinarian. During the campaign the Constitu tion assisted in retaking the American brig, Celia, which had been capttared by a cruiser off Tangiers, and in com pelling the Emperor of Morocco to dis avow the capture and deprive the gov ernor of Tangiers of his commission, as well as to give the American squadron a salute of 21 guns, to say nothing of gifts. In the bombardment of Tripoli on Aug. 3, the Constitution took an active part, notwithstanding the inclement weather which prevailed. Of the enemy's gunl>oats, three were sunk. The American loss was one killed and 13 wounded. Capt. Preble was nearly killed by a 32-pound shot. Several attacks followed on subse quent days. In which the Constitution sustained some injuries, but the Ameri cans were finally able to dictate terms of peace to the Key. Another occasion in which the Con stitution distinguished herself was dur ing the war of 1812, due to several flag rant violations of neutral rights by the British. The great exploit of the Constitution was her fight with the Guerriere. now well known among sea engagements. The American frigate sustained in juries mainly to the rigging, her hull being scarcely touched. The Gurriere on the other hand, was almost demol ished in the short space of 30 minutes. During that time the American fired 940 shots at her antagonist, expending 2376 pounds of powder, and firing at the raite of 23 shots per minute. On her return to Boston after this vic tory, the Constitution was enthusias tically received, the city tendering her officers and crew a banquet in Faneuil hall, over which John Adams presided. Congress voted $50,000 to the officers and seamen of the frigate, a gold medal being given to Capt. Hull and one of silver to each of his officers. Other honors were paid by the citizens of Portland, Me., and the Legislature of Virginia. After the return to Boston Capt. Hull resigned command of the frigate, and Brainbridge was selected for the com mand. It was under this gallant of ficer that she fought and captured the Java, after a short but extremely hot action. In 1813 the Constitution was found to be so badly decayed as to require ex tensive repairs. After these were ef fected she was placed under the com mand of Capt. Charles Stewart, and again went to sea during the winter of 1814. In this cruise she fought no ac tion. In December she again put to sea: on the evening of the 20th of February met, fought and captured two small English vessels, the Cyane and Levant. This terminated the ex ploits of the gallant Constitution, or Old Ironsides. Since then she has gone to sea several times—once on a cruise around the world—but of late years she has been laid Up in the different navy yards. The only other notable episode in her history was her escape from falling into the hands of the Confederates while she was lying at Annapolis as a training ship in 1861—a danger averted through the prompt action of the Slh Massachusetts Regiment, under Gen. B. F. Butler, by which she was re moved to Brooklyn. LASTED BUT 30 MINUTES. Capl. Hull's Official Report ol Fight Between Constitution and Gusrriere. Capt. Isaac Hull's official report of the engagement between the Constitution and the Guerrlere was as follows: U. S. frigate Constitution, Off Boston Light. Aug. 30. 1812. Sir—I have the honor to Inform you that on the 19th instant, at 2 P. M., being in lat. 41° 42' and long. 55° 48'. with the Con stitution under my command, a sail was discovered from the masthead, bearing K. by S. or E. S. E., but at such a dis tance we could not tell what she was. All sail was Instantly made in chase, and soon foynd we came up with her. At 3 P. M. could plainly see that she was a ship on the starboard tack under easy sail, close on the wind; at half-past 3 P. M. made her out to be a frigate: contin ued the chase until we were within about three miles, when I ordered the light sails to be taken in. the courses hauled up, and the ship cleared for action. At this time the chase had backed his malntopsall, waiting for us to come down. BETTER THUN HOME MIDEI Because experience and skill are combined with the best obtain able ingredients.

As soon us the Constitution was ready for action, I bore down with Intention to bring him to close action immediately, but on our coming within gun-shot, she gave us a broadside and filed away, and wore, giving us a broadside on the other tack, but without effect, her shot falling short. She continued wearing and maneu vering for about three-quarters of an hour, to get a raking position, but finding she could not. she bore up. and run under her topsails and jib, with the wind on her quarter. I immediately made sail to bring the ship up with her, and five minutes before C P. M.. being alongside within half pistol shot, we commenced a heavy fire from all our guns, double shotted with round and grape; and so well directed were the> and so warmly kept up. that in 15 minutes his mizzenmast went by the board and his mainyard in the slings, and the hull, rig ging and sails very much torn to pieces. The Hre was kept up with equal warmth for 15 minutes longer, when his mainmast and foremast went, taking with them every spur, excepting the bowsprit. On seeing this we ceased tiring, so that In lit) minutes after we got fairly alongside the enemy she surrendered, and had not a spar standing, and her hull below and above water so shattered that a few more broadsides must have carried her down. After Informing you that so tine a ship as the Guerriere, commanded by an able and experienced officer, had been totally dismasted, and otherwise cut to pieces so as to make her not worth towing into port. In the short space of 30 minutes, you can have no doubt of the gallantry and good conduct of the officers and ship's company I have the honor to command; it only remains, therefore, for me to as sure you that they all fought with great bravery; and It gives me great pleasure to say that, from the smallest boy in the ship to the oldest seaman, not a look of fear was seen. They all went Into action giving three cheers, and requested to be laid close alongside the enemy. Enclosed I have the honor to send you a list of killed -and wounded on board the Constitution, and a report of the dam ages she has sustained; also a list of .killed and wounded on board the enemy, 'with his quarter bill, etc. I have the honor to be. with very great respect.
