Governor Glenn, from Concord, N. H.,
respited for ten days Peter Smith, un

Marshall Nothing regarding the" re-
spite was given out from the executive
office yesterday. , The first news your
correspondent had of it was a telegram
last night from Asheville, saying ' the
authenticity of the telegram was doubt
ed. : The Private Secretary was asked
today about the matter and said noth-;
ing was given out yesterday as there
was nothing to give out, as the man
was in a day of being hanged and ja
quick action was needed. He said that
Attorney Ebbs for Smith asked for a
respite," the telegram being addressed
to Gov. Glenn. The Private Secretary
says this came about one o'clock in the
afternoon and that Ebbs said that; he
had secured evidence from the young
woman in the case that she had been
forced by her father to make the state
ment which resulted in the conviction
of Smith.' The Private Secretaiy, then
consulted the Attorney General and two
members of the council of the State and
they advised him to telegraph Gov.
Glenn, the Attorney Gen'l writing the
telegram giving the facts in the case.
The Governor in reply telegraphed tiw
Private Secretary to respite Smith f oi
ten days. The question came up wheth
er the Governor being out of the Statt
could in law do this, or whether Lieu
tenant Governor Winston is now gov
ernor. When Gov. Jarvis left the Stat

LSir: .
1. Respectfully referring to your
letter of the 9th inst regarding the
new revenue steamer to be constructed
for duty in Albermarle and Pamlico
Sounds, I have to say that as this ves
sel is to be, of very light draft (on y
five feet) it was deemed advisable to
have experiments made with the model
of the vessel in a model tank at the
Washington Navy'Yard. After a de
ay of over three months, owing to a
'arge amount of experimenting being
lone at that place, the trials have been
lompleted and the exact power neces
ary to produce the required speed has
been detemined.
2. This vessel is intended to be the
nosfcomplete revenue cutter ever con
itructed. It will ! e of steel "through
mt, 150 feet in length, 81 feet beam
ind 5 feet draft, and will displace about
100 tons. She will have twin screws
ind be capable of developing 800 indi
cated horse power, which will easily
g ve her a speed of 12 knots.

has cast a gloom everywhere. , The
Mikasa was Togo's flagship and was
endeared to the hearts of the people.
The ship was at anchor in Sasebo
harbor when the fire started at the
base of the main mast at midnight It
spread with great rapidity, exploding
. the aft magazine, an hour after the
fire had been discovered. -
The Mikasa sank in shallow water
and ic is believed the ship can be re
paired. Rescuing parties were sent
from the various warships in the har
bor and there were heavy casualties
among them. ': ,
Various conjectures are current as to
the cause of the fire. Some attribute
it to an overcharge of electricity.
Great relief was felt throughout
Japan when it was learned that Ad
miral Togo was not on board the ship
at the time of the fire.
