BEEN AT TWENTY-FOUR SEA SCARCELY HOURS. Her Turrets Worked Loose, Allowing the Big Guns to Swing Back, Almost Sink Ing the Vessel. . . . . .... asninjrton. jj. u., feo. o. nat may be reported to foreign governments as au ignominous failure of one of the Crack ves sels of the new navy receives an explanation which navy officers of experience regard as satisfactory. The eturn of the battle ship Indiana to Hampton Roads today, after having been at sea with Admiral Bunce' squadron scarcely twenty-four hours, was due to the same turrets which cot loose in a storm last fall whtn Captain Evans com mandedMhe ship in evolutions off Loner Island. On that occasion the big guns pro lectin? Irom the turrets swung back and forth acrots the decks as the ship heeled over on her beam ends in the sea and the tjravest fears were felt that the magnfiicen vtssel would turn "turtle, as the sailors ex nre;-8 it, and go down with all hands. Cp tain Evans hove her to, and lashed the guns temttorarily, which enabled him to reach prt, and then several months were 6pent at the navy yard in trying to remedy the de fect. Captain Evans was succeeded in com mand by Captain T,aylori "formerly o the war college, and 3'esterday was Cap tain Taylor's first experience for some time in an armored ship that has earned a reputation for wallowing, and it is un derstood that the long rollers following the recent heavy gale, made themselves felt on the ship when" the- fleet" got off Hatteras. If she had not been restricted to squadron formation,. Captain Taylor might have headed his course into the seas, but as the New York, with her high freeboard and notable stability, was set ting the course, and as the Indiana could not safely tay with the fleet, she was permitted to return. If her turrets had broken loose off Hatteras the ship might have been lost. The Navv Department gave out the following statement regarding ter this afternoon: "The Indiana returned today to Hamp ton Roads, having made a run with the squadron. When she went out this time she had with her a new locking device for her turrets lately put on at Newlork. and which was inteuded to remedy the trouble she had the last time she put to sea in heavy weather. This present device has three times the strength of the former one. Very prop erly the olficers of the ship have been cautious and observant as to- its work ings and she has returned to the Roads for a further inspection of it and possible readjustment. Her former trouble was occasioned to some extent by her rolling in the very heavy sea which she then encountered, and it is possible she again met unusually rough sea. When the Indiana and Massachusetts were designed they had on, as is abso lutely necessary for them, bilge keels, but very unfortunately all the docks up to the one just completed at New York were not of. sufficient capacity to dock any of these ships with bilge keels, but anticipating the construction and finish ing of the dock at New York, the De partment some time ago ordered bilge keels to be ready for all these ships, and such keels will be placed in position as soon as possible. Great Rntian had a similar experience with her battle ships before such keels were put on. 1 he case of theKesoluuon is well known to the profession all over the world. The Department expects to have the Indiana again at sea in a few days. Negligence of Fellow Servant. There was an interesting session of the House Judiciary Committee yesler dav afternoon to consider the bill intro ddced bv Mr. Hartness of Iredell to abrogate the law of negligence of fellow servant. The debate was animated. Messrs. Avery. Lacey and Schulken and the author of the bill spoke in favor of it. Messrs. Busbee, Batchellor and Day opposed it. The committee decided to report the bill favorably. Under exist- ng law, one who receives an injury from the negligence of one in the same employment can jecover in a suit against his employer. The bill proposes to give such an one the right to recover. j Death of a Famous Pitcher. Bloomington, 111., Feb. 5.

Thurston Continues His Speech on the Right of Judicial Sale of the Union Pacific Railroad Property. . Washington, D. C, Feb. 5. The vacancy which has existed in the Senate since the 4th of March, 1896, by reason of the failure of the Delaware Legislature to elect a Sena tor from that State, was filled today by the admission of Richard R. Kenney, whose credentials, in due form, were presented by Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) and were accepted as prima facie evidence of his right to the seat. Even! Senators Chandler and Hoar recognized Mr. Kenney's right to be sworn in and to take his seat, suggesting, however, the question of "whether the Delaware Leg islature which had el ected him was a fraud ulent body which would be hereafter pre sented to the committee on privileges and elections. Meantime, Mr. Kenney holds the seat, and the forty-five States of the Union are now fully represented in the Senate by ninety Senators. The House bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors in the capitol was not taken up today, Mr. Hill stating tha it could not be disposed of within the morning hour, but notice was given by Mr. Morrill that he would move to have it taken up tomorrow. Mr. Thurston (Rep., Neb.) continued his speech in opposition to the resolu tion of his Populist colleague, Mr. Allen, questioning the right of the Executive Department to consent to a judicial sale of the property of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. His argument was to shdw that that disposition of the ques tion was the legal and proper one. He had not finished his speech when the morning hour expired. The Nicaraguan bill was taken up, and speeches in opposition to it were made by Senators Allen and Caffery. Afterwards some fifty pension bills and some twenty-five other unobjected House bills were taken from the calendar and passed, and the Senate at 6:05 p. m. adjourned until tomorrow. With a few interruptions the House applied itself today to the considera tion of the unfinished business, and while thus engaged, disposed of 61 pri vate pension bills. Among them were bills granting pensions of $50 a month to the widow of General Erastus A. Tyler; to Edwin C. Spofford, of the 5th Massachusetts infantry; to Shuball Gould, of the 8th Iowa; Hans Johnson, of the 27th Iowa; to Maior General Julius A. II. Stahel; to the widow . of General Matthew P. Trumbull; and of $30 a month to the widow of the late General and Governor W. H. Stoneman, of California. Reports were presented and ordered printed upon the contested election cases of Renoit vs. Boatner, from the fifth district of Louisiana (the second from that district this Congress); of Hopkins vs. Kendall, irom tne tentn iventucKy district, and of Tieattie vs. Price, from ...

The injunction commands Receiver John c- McKeon to reserve a sum of $218,- 169. which, the park commissioners claim should be naid from the bank s funds to their credit as trustee. This is the amount which the commissioners sav is due from their late treasurer, Edward S. Drever, and the charge is made that he turned over this amount to the insolvent bank.

IN A Tribute to North Carolina Midway Be tween Maine and Florida An Ail-the-Year Health Resort. Representatives' hall was well fil ed last night with a large attendance of ueneral Assemblymen, ana visitors asj well assembled, to hear General Stone lecture on "Good Roads" and witness Prof. Holmes' North Carolina scenery as shown upon a canvass by magic lantern process. The following are only a few brief ex tracts from General Stone's able lecture Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Gen eral Assembly of North Carolina: When I had the privilege of speaking in this chamber before on the sunject of read improvement, it wa or I by invi tation of a few public spirited citizens. I speak tcn'ght at the joint request of the Senate and House of Representativts of North Carolina, and J take this fact as a happy augury of the progiess and succesj of the movement for good roads throughout the United States. The State has already made such pro gress, in s)me sections in improvement of its highways that, wherever I hive gone, I have been able to hold the Old North Sta'e up as an example ard in centive a shining beacon light to Staes of far greater wealth and population. I am sure, however, that the little taste 70U lave had of the fruits of road im provement has only given you an appe tite for more, and that you are anxious for more speedy progress if the way carr be found without oppressive taxation or dangerous indebtedness. - In considering the subject of taxation for good roads you must take into account the tax of bad roads, and we find the average cost of marketing products to be almost ex ac'ly twenty-five cents per ton for every mile. This is three! times as great as the cost of hauling the same products over good roads. The cost of the hauling done on th county roads is not less than nine hundred II 111 ft m wt 1 .. minion aonais annually. v e deem ic en tirely safe to say that six hundred of this nine hundred millions can be saved to the country when good roads become universal. I his six hundred millions then, is the an nual bad road tax. The farmers add all of .it they can to the price of their products and thus saddle it upon the merchant and the consumer, and this it is which is making the people of the cities and villig s, ami all other occupa tions than farming willing now to help bear the burden of road improvement. lour Mate lias many Your State has many special considera tions which uld prompt it to a speedy ef . r r J '".i. t ' ..FV' J, i uiu3. uavc laieiv urtieu uikjii wjc iwuie . . -e i i f of Alainf to mke o-ond rn:id f.,r 1 iPir sum mer visitors, and upon the people of Flor ida to do the same I jr their win.er visitors. Mid way 'bet ween these localities, your moun tains are a summer resort for the South and a winter resort for the North, and a health resort all the year round. You offer all other attractions excent the one ess ntial feature of the means of easy and comfortable access and communication. If your mountains belonged to a wide awake land syndicate, that syndicate would spend millions of dollars on their roads, and this regardless of all considerations but that one of the entertainment of tourists. ' What prosperity would burst upon this country if every farmer, farm hand and farmers boy, who is not in school, and every farmer's team could earn a day's wages every working day, rain or shine. You are all studying further how to renovate the wornout soils of the lower portion of the State. How easy this would be if you had good roads and such cheap lertilizers as lime, marl, muck leaf mould and the refuse of the towns could be hauled as it is in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, in loads of three or four tons to a pair of horses. It is not un common there to see the cheap fertilizers hauled twenty miles on a wagon. In conclusion General Stone suggested that competent men be selected by the Legislature to investigate the needs of the state and make 6uch recommenda tion as they may deem to the best in terests of the public in road improve ment.

KEIS III Prospect of Protection Has Its Effect on Wool. LITTLE DEMAND FOR IRON AND STEEL NO embarrassment in Money market. THE 305 Failures This Week Against 326 Last and 338 Previous Week- Pun & Co. Report No Important Change fn Business Over Last Week. i- New lork, Feb. 5. Bradstreets to- morrow will say that the general trade, which was retarded by unfavorable weather a week ago, has recovered some what at Chattanooga-Memphis, Binning ham and New Orleans. "While the cold weather cut into stocks of heavy goods, it delayed the sale offspring goods Other relatively favorable trade reports are from St. Paul, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Louis. At most centres jobbers report business quiet or unchanged, with no prospect for immediate improvement. The restriction of the production of cotton goods has not strengthened the market or advanced prices yet. The heavy increase in sales ef wrool (40,000,- 000 pounds at Boston" alone since Jan uary 1, against 24,000,000 pounds last year) is based largely on the expecta tions of a higher duty on wool. JVIore woolen mills have started up, and those which have hit the popular taste in style and fabric are full of present business. One of the most unsatisfactory indus trial featu'es is the lack or demand for iron and steel, prices of which in the central Western States havegot en be low nominal quotations. Eistem and Western iron makers are attracted by the expansion of the Southern pig iron ex port trade within a few months. - The downward tendency of prices of staples noted during the past two or three weeks is checked, in part, there being almost an equal number of the products and commodities usujlly quoted, which are higher or hwer or unchanged com pared with last week. Among those which have advanced are Havana to bacco, wheat, corn and oats, paper and refined and crude petroleum. Those which are lower include rosin, hides, wheat, fljur, pork, lard, coffee and raw sugar. Practically unchanged quotations are recorded for refined sugar, rici tea, lumber, wool, cotton and print cloths. vn.- -m t . . 1 1 1 5 The cnecK to tne numoer oi pusmess failures reported last week appears again in the total for the current week, 0-5 throughout theUnited States a3 compared with u2G last week, and 338 in the same week last year. New York, Feb. 5. R. G. Dun & Co will say tomorrow in their weekby ic view of trade: No important change in business appears, but the number of man ufacturing establishments starting much exceeds the number of those stopping during the w.ek, and so much that the curtailment ot working time in many cotton mills nrobablv does not lessen the aggregate productive force or amount of wasesnaid. There is distinctincrease in orders for woolen eroods. some gain in the silk manufacture, awaiting conditions, with cram in one branch of boots and shoes, and indications of bet- ter things coming in the iron and steel manufacture. Cotton fell to 7lc. after the acree- ment to close Fall River and other m ' ' co i nrint, r.lnth works bpramfi known hut recovered the quotation or a week ago, 7.31 cents, without further news. ipin- ners' takings have been to uma 11 thia ' i year, those of Northern mills about 400,- 000 bales less than in 1894-95, that the admitted narrowness of demand for trnniia line t nrownt nciHorliTo present weight. It appears that foreign trade is also somewhat restricted by narrow ne s of demand. Sales of wool have been smaller than in other recent w eeks and yet are far in excess of: the consumption of all mills for a week, if all were fully employed. At the three chief markets the aggregate for the week has been 13,503,700 pounds There has been only a slight stinen ing in prices, but more foreign wool will be taken and stored, it is believed, if Western holders continue to demand higher prices Prices of Bessemer pis: and Grey Forge at Pittsburg have slightly advanced, with a much more hopeful feeling, notwitb- standing the comparative narrowness ot the demand for finished products, and in plates and wire and wire nails Jhere is much more busmes?, wit n gooa pro3-1 oects. Billets are Quoted at iio.-i-o, wun scarcely any demand at present, and rods at $21, while No. 27 black sheets are quoted at only 2c. Reports that 25,000 tons of steel plate and sheet bars have been exported to England are only iodi- cation3of the temporary excess f t supply over demand ia this country, and are not supposed to have realized any profit. Yet it is stated tbat prices of cast pipe are from 3 to $3 per ton lower at JNew York I than at Scotch Works. Bars are quoted at the lowest price j w-fct ! i-iis . ilTfc ever known ai i nuaueipma, wunoui much improvement in the demand, and j steel rails are still inactive and un- changed in price, the railroads waiting I for a decline corresponding to the fall in billets. But on the whole, the demand for iron and steel products i tdowly gainirrg and a considerable proportion of the work is employed, though the gain is not yet enough for thone who have taken large stocks of material or products on speculation. In the money market there appears no embarrassment, and the large ale of Northern Pacific and Oregon Naviga tion securities to European capitalists has given additional assurance that bal ances due t6 this country will not be cancelled for some months to come, so that the point of possible gold exports is removed still further. Failures for the week have been 311 in the United States, against 323 last yeaf, and 63 ia Canada, against 07 last year. I,, - ' Cashier Left a Shortace, Bethlehem, Pa,, Feb. 5.
