W ashington, Nov. 10.—"’h i navy departm ent has recaived the following ca b legram jftom Captain McCalla, dated Nassau, Nov. IS:

"Arrived w ith Potomac and Vulcan a t scene" of wreck. On arriya l took charge of Teresa and hoisted Hag. A fter careful exam ination oC stranded ship and situation and careful eonsidsfa tion of Instructions from departm ent, appreciating the g rea t Interest taken by nation and government In fate . of Teresa, regret exceedingly to express the opinion th a t It is hopeless to expect to rescue the Bhip. Craven, Blow, Hobson and C rittenden conflrm m y opinion. ,

“W reck is stranded In from 16 to 21 feet, w ith head to northw ard. W ith exception of few feet astern and forward, whcro cut aw ay, ship rests on

-rocky reef, covered w ith coral sand, Interupersed w ith bowlders, h a l f mile south of Bird point, Line ef reef extends outBlde of wreck, both to north w ard pad southward,_Bhip„liftyiRg bees driven Into slight indentation in reef. Surf from aterr, arid outside ot ship continues between ship and shore; ther, runs out slightly fo point forw ard oi and outside ship again to .northward. Small passage thus left for sm all boats to pas - under ste rn to lee Side.-

"In fa irly good w eather i t would be possible, I think, for small tu g draw ing ten feet, of watei; in haBds of very skillful seameii to pasrn close under ■tern of- Teresa In smooth sea to make fast to lee side for purpose of supplying power for wrecking pumps. If, however, such vessel were osugh t Inside Teresa by storm, probabilities are

ha would be s w i p e d jjy seas or throw n oil reef. S u n fn iu s cuts off eommtthlcatton fcetweess ship and ®tor« except certain stages of tide or when there is very little sen retrains. D uring heavy seas the breakers would also be continuous outside ship.

"Pajiaed Sunday ojj_ wreck, examining carefully all comparTmenfs which were not flooded, as well as ship's surroundings, accompanied by Craven, who had previously Inspected Teresa, and Crit- ■tenden, who was perfectly fam iliar w ith ship. Evidences show th a t a fter striking reef m ainm ast was driven up and broken off sho rt below spar deck, m ilitary top lying outside bilge under port quarter. Seas had gone entirely over her. The Inner bottom generally had been driven upw ard from 1% to 2 feet. Patch on bottom abreast forward tu rre t had disappeared. Air ports had been driven in and seas had entered through them and gun ports on s ta r board side. Spar deck and deckhouses had been crushed in by sens afte r ship struck. Large proportion of the lumber is short pieces lying or floating below berth deck, ’

XSrenidtMK; TH rer S t a r b o a r d .

"Tide rises and fails i n ship below protective deck abaft engine room bulkhead. Seas which now break over s ta rboard q uarter and en ter through ports keep w ater In th a t p a r t of ship five or six feet above line of th a t In engine rooms and Ore roomr. Pum ps which were erected by wrecking company on forward and .after am m unition hoists and secured to berth dock beams have been driven upw ard from IS to 24 Inches. Both starboard, apd port engines have been forjeed upw ard from 1% to 2 feet and separated laterally by from f to 8 Inches. >;« V

“Best way to illustra te g^neral.condition of wreck is to say th a t the two Bets of engines, boilers and their founua tlons form part of reef itself, around which rest of ship works la terally and vertically. Same effect would be produced In my opinion if ship had set- tied on pinnacle of rock.

“SuAday trade wind was very light, and there was little difficulty in approaching wreck from Vulcan, bu t comm unication w ith shore would have been very difficult In boat a t one stage of tide. Can best describe condition o t ship generally by sta ting th a t she is already telescoped, and my views by expressing conviction that, as rivets are sheared by the constan t working of ship, the telescopic prooca* m ust continue.

“In considering practicability of rescuing Teresa, the fact m ust be considered «hat.she lies upon coral reef, with but thin layer of sand, tm windward side of an island constantly exposed to seas due to trade winds and to influence of many storm s developing to eastw ard o r southward. C haracter of bottom m akes, anchorage off eastern coast of Island .dangerous.' Geographical position iKt^nlts force of it,or e or less mag- n ltu d ^ 'to Ibe constantly disintegrating ship. D uring galea or w lttuvcry heavy seas w reck . would not be. tenable for working parties, which would be obliged to leave ship before communication should be cut off with ship anchored outBlde o r with shore Inside.

"Board of officers also examined and reported yesterday upon question of rescuing the Teresa. This board confirm s my report. Should departm ent datormlne to attem pt ' float stranded ship, would recommend th a t expedition be based on Cat island, not from ship outside reef, and should be very pleased to command any organisation prepared to work on wreck. In addition to tu rre t jfuns there are four e Inch guns on Teresa taken from one of the wrecked ships and rem ounted In Guantanamo. Awaiting developments and fu rth er or

T H E P E O P L E ’S SAY

I n F a v o r o f W a te r M eters.Editor P e e s8:—In your issue of yes

terday I regret to note th a t our city council has decided against th e generei introduction of w ater m eters, I regret th is action, because personal experience proves {having used a m eter in my store) th a t m eter rates are cheaper than regular ra tes; am i further, i t has been .the experience of all citieh where the m eter system has .been adopted th a t w ater departm ent expenses are greatly lessened by their employment.

U nder our present system the careful householder suffers from the wasteful- nees of others, w hich is m anifestly un fair, b a t from which he has no redress. The existing schedule of charges, based fjn tho num ber of faucets and rooms in one’s house, iis a bar to household conveniences, im provements an a sanitary conditions. A property hich has all modern improvamenta and conveniences in vater supply will probably use but little more w ater than another property wfasre a single faucet suffices for Use entire consumption. A nd yet in the form er case there so an enormous ad ditional tax , wholly unnecessary, for the eimpla conveniences of a household.

I would vary gladly, if allowed to do so, buy a m eter for m y residence and go to all th e expense of connecting it, because I am satisfled the re >?ould bo a saving of a t Jenst one th ird in m y w ater bill, sveaiftS the,existing rate , and there

'ould be th e fu rther gratification of know ing th a t I w as-pay ing only lo r w ater w hich I really used aad not for the wastage of,my neighbor,Citizens.

A eta.age m ust soon be m ade in our w ater departm ent. Every observant citizen knows th a t our present p lan t Is frequently taxed to its utmost capacity to supply sufficient w ater. As the dem and Is constantly increasing it is m anifest th a t either the waste m ust be stopped by th e introduction o f m eters or elsa additional puftp lng m achinery m ust be installed. The m eters m ay cost $10,000; new pumps and pstri- boilers would probably more th an double th is expenditure. W ith tha m eter system o ar present p lant is of am ple capacity for ysars to come, and. there ivouid probably be considerable increased earn- Ings, w hich could be applied to the liquidation of existing indebtedness.

1 am heartily in favor of water meters, and tru s t th a t council w ill a t least a llow all who wish meters in their houses to have them connected. If th a t little w ere granted there would be enough meters- p u t in to p t ive th e ir economy and valua inside or 13 m onths, and & way should be found for th e general in troduction o f a m eter system very speed- i!y.

The present pystem is crude, wasteful and expensive. No private business could swgsiblj' exist usssfek isuch m eth ods, s a d certainly no public enterprise ought to be incum bered witU such bur- densome experaea. , ; v .V G ii?e:thetow nia change. Let ns have m eters. - J . F . Davison. .

Com m enting editorially on the same m atter the sam e paper, from w hich the above is taken, says:

"T he' w ater commissioners invested120,000 in w ater, m eters. The result is shown in a recent report of Superinteu dent Hawley. The w ater consumption has been cu t down enormously, and w ith it the ra te of prater, The price of w ater Is cheap ir here th an In any o ther d ty in the stats, The p lant ia now easily capable of supplying the city with c a te r , while before meters were in troduced the question o f an adequate sup ply was one of th e serious problems confronting tho w ater commNW ners when they took possession of tbe p lan t.'

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 16, 1898.

T h e term of Judgo J . Clarence Cou; over ol Monmouth county will expire in 1900, and Governor-elect Voorhees will then appoint s successor to our distinguished judge. The new judge will Ip all probability be a Republican, but if Monmout^ county had to say who should be appointed; Judge Conover would succeed himself. .

Th e popular m ajorities cast a t the re. can telections in thevarious-stB teeshow In Democratic m ajorities in eighteen states to have been 441,000; Republican majorities in tw enty six states, 723,000; silver m ajority in one state, 45,000. These are unofficial figures, and even estimates in some instances, but the official‘count will not m aterially a lter the above figures.

ChlCAGO was referred to by Dr. K eator at the council meeting; on Monday night as being an unm etered city. T rue; but the doctor evidently overlooked the fact th a t the city has recently placed an order for ,800,060 meters with the W estinghouse company. This is the largest w ater meter-ojder on record, aggregating a cost of about two million dollars, and it ia certainly evidence of the fact th a t Chicago believes in the m eter system and proposes to introduce it.

At the council m eeting Monday night the finance committee received instruct* ions to confer w ith the N eptune town ship com m ittee and endeavor to bring about a settlem ent regarding the m acadam road bonds. I t is to be hoped th a t such a conference will prove successful. Asbury P ark does not w ant to shirk any of her ju s t obligations per; ta in ing to tha debt of th e macadam road, bu t she does w ant an accounting, in order to see how the m atter stands. Once Asbury P ark ’s proportion is agreed upon, tbe m atter will be finally settled a n d th e am ount due wili be paid forth' w ith.

Th e determ ination of the city council to pu t down a briel; gu tter on Kingsley street, between Cookman and F irst avenues, will w ithout doubt m eet w ith the hearty approval of the residents of th a t im m ediate vicinity. For years past every tim e we have had a heavy downpour " o f rain , Kingsley street, from Third avenue south, has been flooded, m aking it impassable w ithout a pair of hip rubber boots or a boat. The,new gu tter will have a tendency to. help m atters, bu t in order to overcome the difficulty entirely it seems th a t it would be a wise move to carry th e surface w ater from some of the uptow n streets to tbe ocean, and not drain it all in W esley lake via Kingsley street.

A c h a r g e of |4 1 .75 for -ss-ater for one year for a p riva te dw elling seems to be somewhat exorbitant, and espaoially so when it is known th a t the residence is occupied by a bachelor. Yot th is is the tax , under th e existing m ethod of charging for w ater, w hich ia levied up. on C. S, S teiner for his beautiful residence te N orth Asbury Park . The home of Mr. S teiner is a c red it to the community. I t was erected w ith the idea of convenience, and every modern improvement was introduced. I t is not a t all likely th a t ;Mr. Steiner usee any m ore w ater th an his neighbor who has less improvements, but simply because he &as pUlt in numerous faucets, bath rooms, etc., as a m atter of convenience, an extortionate ra te is charged. Such a ra te is detrim ental to our city. It discourages the erection of modern homes in our com m unity, and will keep th e better and m ore wealthy class away. The introduction of m eters, so that every persoa will pay for w hat they iiB8, is the only proper solution of the problem. . i

Santiago, Nov. 16.—An Incident h a s occurred a t San Luis, about 25 miles north of Santiago, which caused a great deal of ill feeling: among the Cubans and considerable annoyance among the United S tates military officials there.

All the colored regim ents are encamped in the neighborhood of San Lula. They were sent there virtually to get them out of the way because of the dlf*> Acuity experienced in managing them. The colored officers seem to have little or no control over their men. While officers and privates are often seen drlnK- ing together, with arm s around each other’s necks, and behaving in other ways not calculated to Inspire respect for the American troops among the Cubans.

I t was not expected th a t the colored soldiers could do much Harm In the San Luis district, which wasWhosen for tha t reason. The trouble Began Monday evening in an attem pt to arrest two soldiers for abusing a Cuban Workman and stealing hia hog. The offense was committed on the Normas Sugar plantation. Lieutenant Jose Ferrera,-chief of General Wood’s -gendarmerie in th a t district, a Spaniard, but a Cuban sympathizer, and a man whom General -Wood knew to be able and courageous, a t tempted to make the arrests.

The soldiers, who belonged to the N inth immunes, escaped: Soon after 30 colored men, wearing the uirt£<6nn of the United States' army, attacked the house where L ieutenant F errera was and kept up ,a regular fusillade, killing Lieutenant jf’errera, Antonio Roman, an old man; Emilio Bettran, a boy of 17, and *a baby and wounding several oth *rs. Two colored soldiers were killed In the affray.

When the news reached Santiago, General Wood waa a t dinner. He im mediately Went to thie signal -office, where Chief Signal Officer B rady took charge of the key. For four hours dispatches were sent and received. The colored officers all denied th a t their men were implicated in the affair, in Spite of all the evidence to the contrary.

A fter an unsatisfactory attem pt to a t Xhe facts of th e case ' ov<fr the

vftrCa, <Sei*e*tU Wood Wrtaf to San tu la b^ eg eel a l t rajn. Upon hla re tu rn 0en- etai^-Wooa -reportedr theft a f te r a lbng! investigation he had come to tbe conclusion th a t all the Colored regiments vrcre more or less mfxed op In thtf 'affray. H e has offered 11,000 reward for the nam es of the men who did the shooting, and before leaving San tu i s he read the colored officers a severe lecture for denying th a t their men were Implicated.

Eye witnesses of the affair who have arrived here say th a t two gendarmes who were wounded are expected to die. The impression among them is th a t all th e soldiers belonged to the N inth lm- munes. L ieutenant F e r re ra ’ behaved most pluckily, and eveij when tyylng ordered hia men to defend themselves.. H e Was, shot while outside t h t house and try ing to persuade tbfe^crowd' to disperse. I t seems th a t th e soldiers had been drinking in the town and a crowd of them was easily got together to m ake the attack .

BRYAN ON ELECTION.S i l v e r Chaimplon : G iV e a H i s V i e w s o l

u i e R e c e n t C o n t p s t .Lincoln, Neb., Ntfv. 16.—Colonel WU-

.liam Jennings Bryan has given ou t the following statem ent as his opinion of the result of the election, explaining his failure to take part In the Nebraska campaign and Justifying hia present comment. He said:

°WhlletId o not understand th a t service in the volunteer’ arm y prevents a soldier from having and expressing opinions upon political questions, I declined to tak e p art in the late campaign Je st I should be accused by partisan opponents of attem pting to em barrass the adm inistration. Now th a t the election is over I shall exercise th e citizen’s privilege of dlscuflsing the. returns.

“Compared-with the election of 1896 .the R6pub(l£ms have gained in some -places &nd lost in others. - I t was not a sweeping Republican victory. On the whole, the result Is not surprising when it»-ls remembered th a f the adm in istration is Just concluding a successful war.

"While a m ajority of the soldiers are probably antl-Republican, the manage* ment of the w ar has been entirely in Republican hands, and the strongest argum ent used ', during the campaign w as th a t a ^ g p u bii c&n d ef eat wou I d discredit the Tftesident in th e eyes ol foreign nations while his'com m issioners were engaged In making a treaty.

“I t was not a trial upon the issue now before the people, but a successful plea for a continuance of the case. The peo. pie have not accepted the gold stand* ard. They have not fallen In love with the plan to give the banks a monopoly of the issue of paper money. They have not decided to retire the greenbacks. They have not surrendered to the trusts.

"These questions were forced Into the background by~ ther declaration of war, but they m ust be faced again as soon as peace Is restored. The Chicago p latform presents for public consideration certain vital economic questions. Tbat platform has not been1 abandoned by thofe y/ho indorsed i t in 1896. I t will be rea^rm ed in ‘1900 because it gives expression to the hopes arid aspirations ol a large m ajority of the party .

"When the Democrats, Populists and silver Republicans favored Cuban inde pendence, they understood th a t war would give a tem porary advantage to the party In power, but they were willing to risk defeat In order to aid a people fighting to be free*

"Neither can the election be regarded as an indorsement of any definite foreign policy. Until a trea ty of peace has been entered Into and the term s made known the people cannot pass Judgment upon it. W hether the w ar will ralBe any question of sufficient * importance to tu rn public attention aw ay from dome* tic problems remains to be seen.”

OFFICER OF THE DECK.

T h e P o a l t l o n C n r r le a M n n y I m p o r t a n t a n d R e N p o n s l b t e D n t l c s .

Immediately upon stepping on board of a man-of-war a visitor sees an officer with a sword bolt on walking up and down the quartor deck-—Officers and sailors come up to this man so sprucely rigged out in his neat, handsome uniform, touch their caps to him, ask him questions, give him Information and receive orders from him, and then they go away from him, and he paces his''lonely boat, for ho is the man who is on watch, who, whllo holding this position, has the charge of the ship. He is the “ officer of the deck."

His position is one of extreme responsi bility. Ho Is held accountable for the safety of the ship and everything and everybody on board her. Evory officer or other person in the ship, whatever may be his rank, who is -subject to the orders of the captain, except the executive officer, the officer who ranks second to the captain, is subordinate to the officer of th6 deck.

*ThlB officer of tho deck cannot leave his chargo uritll ho is regularly relieved by some other officer, whose turn it Is to assume the responsibility, an4 he is strictly prohibited by tho rulos and regulations from engaging in any occupation which may distract his attention from his duty, hence his apparent dislike to engage in conversation, to crack a joko, to smile or to laugh: “

A pArt of his duty is to be polite, though not necessarily agrecablo, the law governing this phaso of his conduct reading as follows: “ He shall see tha t nil persons oonilng alongsido or visiting the ship are courtoously treated." Of course he cannot personally attend, except casually,- to the reception of tbo hundreds of people who visit tho ship. Ho delegates this sort of duty to the men, only seeing that thoy bo- have themselves docorously and decently.,

The officer of the deck is tho one rn^n in the ship for tho time being on whom devolves the responsibility of properly conducting the affairs pertaining to the welfare of tbe small world living within the vessel. For four hours this position of dignity and importance is his. Tjhen he gbes off, and some other man suooee^# to tho hardships of the office.—New York Herald. ^ ' ‘; T.

Every one has read of tho rem arkable use of the telephone system in Sweden, particu larly in Stockholm, and i t has of- ton been pointed ou t th a t th is is tho m ost extensive system in tho world whon population is considered. The figures, which have been so variously quoted, really g ive no adequate impression of tho com pleteness aud general popularity of tho Sw edish telephone system. Even tho fru it women and fishmongers in tho m arkets and a t street corners havo tholr telephones, and tho sm all shop th a t has not a phono Is tho exception ra the r than tho rule. This genoral installation in stores presupposes num erous calling subscribers, and telephones in privato residences aro a lm ost universal.

The secret of th is rem arkablo sta te of th ings Is to be found m ainly in tho cheapness of tho convenience. A householder can seouro am ple com m unication fo r $10 a year. This paym ent entitles tho subscriber to tho free use of the w ires In Stockholm and th roughou t a rad iu s of nearly 50 miles. The highest charge for service Is only $25 per annum . There aro tw o other classes—namely, $20 und $15 rates. In the privato dw elling ra te of $10 a year the messages aro lim ited to 400 per annum , and a charge of 2 cents for each excess messago.

S tockholm is served by tw o telephone companies, ono a state institu tion an d tho othor a privato concern, which, by the way, is tho moro largely patronized. A lm ost every lam ppost ■ is provided w ith a telephone a ttachm ent, by which i t is possible to call up tho nearest.cab s tan d fo r a carriage or notify the police o r firo dep artm ent.

While the scrvico is first class in every respect, a ll tho m odern improvem ents' bo- ing* supplied, yet, no tw ithstand ing tho ro- jn a rk ab ly low’ price for service, tho company pays an annual dividend of 8 per cent.

Call i t im perialism if you will, b u t i t is not tbe im perialism th a t is inspired by the lu s t of conquest.

PERSIAN RULER’S JEWELS.

F ab u lo u s W o rth o t the Gems In th e P eacock T h ro n e Room.

Who has no t heard of tho P ersian jewels —their glory, the ir num ber, tho lr priceless worth? When the doors Wero unlocked and I was taken in to tho pcacook throno room, I found myself surrounded by a m ass of w ealth uncqualnd in tho w orid. Now boro aro such treasures, b u t nowhere also is there such an accum ulation of r u b bish. . I w ill, however, dism iss tho ru b bish and rater only to tho treasures. Down each sido of tho room woro chairs entirely covered w ith sheeted gold, nnd a t Intervals woro tables of gold, nailed, 1 shuddered to noto, w ith tlio commonest of blaok headed nails.-

A t tho fa r end of tho room was tho wonder. of. tho..w orldf. thol.peacock- throno.. W hether i t is ono cf th e seven thrones o f tho G reat Mogul nnd was brought from Delhi I don’t,.know, b u t i t is certainly tho m ost costly o rnam ent th a t th e oyo o^ m an can look upon. I Inspected i t m ost carefully. I t is entirely of silvVr, a groat cam p bed structure , b u t modeled în lovely designs. I t is im’Nisred from end to cud and from top to bottom w ith diamonds.

A t tlio back Is a s-tar of b rillian ts thp t m akes you blink. Tho ru g on which tho shah sits is edged w ith precious stones, and the pillow on which ho reclines is covered w ith pearls. I could keep on w riting About tho dazzling beauties of the throno of tlio k ing of kings, but' I nover could get beyond declaring it to bo a superb jewel. Somo people havo valued i t a t £5.000,000 I ts rea l valuo is between £2,000,000 and £3,000,000.

B lit, though tho peacock throne is the m agnum opus o f the Persian crown jew els, i t by no m eans extinguishes tho m agnificence of tho o ther treasures. Who can a ttem pt, however, to recount tho num ber of bojeweletl arm s, the royal arm s, tho flashing aigrets, the trays; piled up w ith cu t and u n cu t sconcsf and tho bowls filled w ith pearls th a t you can run through yonr fingers lilfc) a handful of rice? Every ono has heard of tho Darla-i-Nur. o r sea of light, sister diam ond to tho Kohinoor, or m ountain of light. Every ono has also heard of tho Globe of the World, made by tho la te shall, of 75 pounds of puro gold and 51,330 genis—tho sea of emeralds, Porsia of turquoises; Ind ia of am ethysts, Africa of rubles, England and Franco of diam onds—and valued a t £947,000.—I llu stra ted M agazine. • * • • • .

F l i n t n n d J s t e e l .A visitor from C entral A m erica who

was In the city recently a ttrac ted a good deal o f a tten tion about his hotel by his dexterous use of a flint and stool cigar lighter. Tho apparatus was peculiar. I t consisted of a length of th ick woolen cord colled In a hollow tig e r’s tooth anil two sm all steel rollers fastened in a rectangula r m etal fram e. ; In obtain ing a lig h t the ow ner of tho device held tho frayed end of tho cord against a scrap of flin t in tho loft hand and struck tho edge of the stono a sm art blow w ith one of the rollers. A spark or tw o flew o u t and In a .m om ent the woolon fabric w as a g low ing coal. I t was extinguished by merely th ru s tin g It Into tho hollow tooth.

“ I t ’s eqsy when yon know how ,” ho said, “ bu t tho trick is really very difficult to acquire. The blow m ust bo stru ck n t one certain .angle or i t is inelfectual. In C entral Am erica tfco apparatus is invalu- ablo. Ono is n o t only a p t to run o u t of nmtches, b u t tho (profuse perspiration of tho body often ronuors them useless.

t’eiMononn IM nnts.I t is not generally understood th a t a

largo num ber of p lants w ith which wo are fam iliar contain poison more or less deadly according to the quan tity consumed. A very sm all piece of the bulb of a narcissus may causo death. The, leaves, flowers, roots and bark of the oleander aro doadly; indeed tho en tire p lan t Is dangerous to life. Tho jonqu il and hyacinth aro poisonous. Peach and cherry p its contain prussio acid enough to kill, and yew berries are responsible for serious loss of lifo. Most people know th a t the lobelias are d angerous, b u t th a t tho lady slipper poisons in th e same way as Ivy is know n to b u t few. The bulbs of lilies of the Valley are poisonous. Crocuses m ust be handled w ith care by certain persons.

placed in a topper or other vessel of cold water, each piece to be separated from the other by a wisp of hay.
