'I CHRISTIAN THEE TEXAS.
Miss Made Williams Christens
the Great Battle Ship.
Washington, Jane 28.—For
some time preparations have been
made for the launching of the
battle ship Texas. The navy de
partment has taken great iuterest
in this vessel as it the first one of
the kind pat apon the waters by
the government. The Texas may
be said to be the result of a long
fight among that class of lawmak-
ers which believe in light-armored
and swift ships and the heavy
floating batteries meant for de-
fense alone and not for invasionr
or erasing. The Texas is a kind
of compromise between the two,
able to sail anywhere and at a
speed of seventeen knots au hour,
or can sail 8500 miles at ten
knots. Her construction was
authorized by congress in 1886,
bat it was not until 1889 that her
keel was laid. The government
paid $15,000 for her plans to Wil-
liam John, a naval architect.
She was built at the Norfolk
navy yard and launched, accord-
ing to reports, from Portsmouth.
Opposite where the boat was
launched there were about 15,000
people present to see the sight.
Tha launching was under the su-
pervision of Francis T. Bowles,
constructor in the Norfolk navy
yard. Lieutenant Oowles of the
navy, as representative • of Secre-
tary Tracy of the navy depart-
ment, was on hand. Miss Madge
Williams of Texas, with her
mother, was on hand to christen
the vessel. Miss Williams stood
prepared and as the great battle
ship at the signal ''ready" glided
on her ways to the water said "I
christen thee Texas'' and broke
the bottle of wine across the
stately ship's bow. The boat went
into the stream withont a tremor
and sat like a duck when she got
there.

criticism of the government in
accepting the plans ot a vision-
ary foreigner. But the launching
today shows that all criticisms
were unwarranted and that the
great vessel is second to none in
the world as a fighting machine.

men and in fact no Texans from

CONSTERNATION IN THE RUSLIAN
EMPIRE.
St. Petersburg, Jane 28.—Con-
sternation prevails in parts of the
empire owing to the rapid spread
of cholera at Baku. At Great
Petrolsum shipping port on the
west side of the Caspian sea thir-
ty-five new cases were reported
yesterday. Thousands of work-
men became so frightened they
are leaving in droves. The sani-
tary measures to prevent the
spread of the disease is not string-
ent enough to effect any result.
The military physicians at I)us-
hak telegraphs the disease there
is beyond control, and asks for
medical assistance and nurses.
A signal feature of the epedemic
is the rapidity with which strick-
en persons collapse.

SAVANNAH, Ou
PREPARATIONS AT OMAHA.
Omaha, Neb, June 23.—The
work of preparation for the peo-
ple's party convention goes rapid-
ly on. The committee on enter-
tainment reported today that ac
coinmodations had been secured
for 12,000 people, aud the list is
now growing with greater rapidity
than at any time since the com-
mittee went to work. Among
others it is learned that a big
crowd of ex-Confederates is com-
ing from Texas. Today private
letters were received in Omaha
from intimate friends of Judge
Gresham which settle all doubts
about Gresham's candidacy.
Gresham will not allow t.is name
to be used. Another letter
was received from Congress
man Watson of Georgia who
was regarded as the probable
nominee for vice presidtnt. Wat-
sou declines to allow his name to
be used, declaring that he prefers
to be in the house. The Stewart'
boom at once took move
one has shown where previous to
the old party nominations Senator
Stewart said : "if Cleveland and
Harrison are nominated the elect-
oral votes of Nevada and all the
eilver states will go to the inde-
pendents." More than that, it
was announced today positively
by friends of the senator that he
would accept the nomination.
Many will be surprised to know
there is opposi'ioh to Gen. Weav-
er in his own delegalion. Whether
the fight will be strong enough to
injure Weaver's chances is not
yet known. Arrangements have
been perfected for the reunion of
the blue and gray at the Coliseum
Saturday evening.

Nashville, Tenn., June 28 —
Gov. Buchanan, who has been to
Chicago attending tho democratic
national convention, returned
yesterdav. He was a very much
