Work Going Rapidly Forward In the New Gun Shop. takkco a bio oci» raoM the pit.ah nrrxm- nmo Km At tu tard this mobkiwo. HOW THX TBAVELIXO CUM WOXXS.IfAXISO ARMORED TCBRET8. The navy yard tu never more active than at preeent, barring, of course, those troublous time* of terror in the 'GOs. In a different de¬ gree and in a different sense aa well it is still the center of warlike preparation*. Hundred* of workmen are busy each day over long tabes that lay in peaceful silence on boring machines, but ma* one day send forth a bellow of de¬ struction and death. Innocent-looking lumps of iron with pointed ends stand round in myriads, now like so many paper weights, that may some day screech and scream in an infer¬ nal flight. On every band lie the munitions of war.guns, carriages, armor, projectiles, infer¬ nal machines.to reinforce prestige and to baffle an enemy. thx sew auit SHOP. The work on the new gun shop is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The south end is already fitted with a number of machines. lathes, borers, riflers and other gear. The mammoth traveling crane is in operation, one of the engines is in place and the great shrink- ing pit is in working order. But it will be sev¬ eral more weeks before the ordnance work can be started, 'lhe north end is yet unpaved. There are no tools set up in the n'nw part at all and.confusion reigns. BAI8IXO A bio oux. This morning the great 8-inch steel rifle that has just been given its first jacket was raised from the pit and carried out of the building. It is about 25 feet in length and weighs up¬ ward of 12 tons at present. The operation of lifting it from the pit, which is fully GO feet deep, was a delicate one, but it was performed by the crane with an artistic finish that was wonderful. A sling was put around a wooden shoulder that had been fitted to the gun just in front of the new jacket, and other gearings were put in place to provide lo: an emergency. A little engine down near the north end of the long building was furiously turning a square shafting that glistened in its wabbling motion throughout the entire length of the shed, high up in the air. A man HANOINO IX A CAOK under the crane pulled one of a half a dozen levers and the great steel tube was slowly lifted out of the pit, its lower, smaller end coated with a red rust. When the breech was a half a dozen feet above the surface of the hole the great block that carried the gun, winding four turns of chain, was moved to the west a few feet and the big piece of metal swung up out of the pit, the larger end going down and the small end up. Theu the entire crane was moved, with its swinging load of 12 tons, to¬ ward the southern end of the shop. The muzzle of the gun was pointed northward, and a dozen mtn marched alongside of the tube with slow steps, for all the world like pall bearers, their hands on the tube to steady it. At the southern end a car was waiting for ths gun. which was slowly lowered npon it, and the gearing stipped off. TO BECEIVX OTHER JACKETS. This gun will be given other jackcts, grad¬ ually building it up until its breech will be 3;£ or 4 feet thick. It will be rifled and fitted with a breech mechanism. There have been no more accidents such as happened to the 10- inch gun a year or so ago, when the breech plug, on being put in to see if it fitted, stuck so fast tout it could not be removed. It will be remembered that by Bome one's orders the plug was heated from the inside in order to loosen it, and the effect was directly opposite to what <rw intended. It was finally, after a good many weeks, bored out. This* accident has caused the exercise of great care in the handling of these costly pieces of steel, and there have been no more stuck plugs. makiso rmiNO tcubets. The men in the yard are hard at work on the armored firing turrets.half turrets in reality .for the new cruisers. These things are from 5 to 10 feet high, presenting a semi-circular front pierced by a hole large enough for the muzzle of a gun. Thev are entirely open in the rear. They are intended to be proof only against bullets and other small missiles.to protect the men in working the large guns of the broad¬ side battery of a ship. They are about 2 inches thick and weigh probably three or four tons each. THE NAVAL JUDGE ADVOCATE. Changes that Slay be Made In the Navy Department. The publication in yesterday's Stab of the impending effort by the contracting ship build¬ ers to bring about a change in the Navy de¬ partment, so as to have smoother failing in the future, caused considerable gossip at the de¬ portment today. Naval officers are, as a rule, in favor of a strict holding to specifications in all contracts, and the general opinion is that the mere intention of the contractors to secure a change in the office is a compli¬ ment to Col. Remey's efficient administration of the judge advocate general's office. He has watched the interest* of the government with the most careful eye and has so constructed his contracts that poor work meant no pay. Dur¬ ing Mr. Whitney's term of office CoL Remey was in high favor and was appointed to his third term, but there have been doubts aa to whether he would stand as well with Secretary Tracy. There was a rumor afloat toduy con¬ cerning the matter that set many a tongue wag¬ ging. This was to the effect that a strong effort will be made by the line officers of the navy to have Col. Iteuiey made commandant of the marine corps next year upon the retirement of Col. McCaulev Thi* will then leave vacant that most desirable post, the judge advocate general's office, to be nlled by an officer of the line. This would, it is thought, be most ac¬ ceptable to CoL Remev. involving no pecuniary loss and giving him the nicest billet in the corps. This would also be an extremely satis¬ factory arrangement to certain officers of the line who are supposed to have aspiration*. Army Changes. A circular waa issued today from the War department announcing the following change* in the army during the past week: Appointment.Additional Second Lieut. Chas. D. Rhode*, seventh cavalry, to be second lieu¬ tenant, sixth cavalry, August 19,1889, vice Stot- .enburg. promoted. Promotions.Lieut. CoL James S.

The following telegram was reoeived this morning by a naval officer from Irving M. Scott, president of the Union iron works of 8an Francisco, relative to the recent official trial of the cruiser Charleston: ''Successful in every respect in six hoars' ran under forced draft. Tha'.'s the way we do things in the west." This is thought to be a rather remark¬ able statement in view of the figures sent from San Franoiseo showing the indicated horse¬ power developed on this run to have been 5,700, while the contract calls tor 7,000. The vessel is now under penalty of $00 a day. Telegrams to The Star. THE GRAND ARMY PARADE A Great Day for the Veterans in Milwaukee. OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVEHTIOH.

Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 27..Yesterday was the day of handshaking and sociability among the veterans. No order was thought of and the private was as great a man as the general. Today the conditions are different. This is the real grand army day when the men fall into line and obey orders; when the officer receives as his right the regulation salute of his sub¬ ordinates. The old soldier this morning as he rolled out of his bunk of straw or from between counterpanes, as the case might be, instinctly gave himself an extra shake for appearance sake, smoothed out a few wrinkles in his clothes or brushed from them the dust of travel. It was the day of dress parade, and the veteran who was not anxious to look well and desirous that his company or regiment make a good appearance was not worthy of his name. CROWDS IN THE CITT. This morning the cities and towns of the state seemed to have emptied themselves into Milwaukee. It is not an exaggeration to say that bv noon fully 50.000 Wisconsin people from outside the city had arrived. There were a great many delegations that expected to reach here last night, but were belated and arrived between 7 and 9 o'clock this morning. There was a little more disorder in finding quarters than there was yesterday morning, as attention was centered on the parade, but most of the arrivals managed to find their quarters and get into place in time to move with the column. On every vacant spot in the most busy streets post commanders could be seen drilling their little squads of men and giving instructions for falling into line in the parade. Some of the posts were tew in numbers while others were large. The Hansom post of St. Louis num¬ bered more than any seen before.the column moved. With its band it had nearly 300 in line. IN THE HOTELS THE CRUSH WAS TERRIBLE. It was all one could do to force his way through. In the Plankinton house especially, where Gen. Sherman, Gen. Alger, Commis¬ sioner Tanner and Mrs. Logan were, crowds were standing around waiting to get a glimpse of the distinguished parties. Mrs. Logan coming down the steps from the large din¬ ing hall about 9 o'clock leaning on the arm of Gen. Alger was forced to hold an im¬ promptu reception as a crowd of veter¬ ans from one direction and a bovy of ladies from the opposite direction rushed to greet her. Mrs. Logan had a distinguished ap¬ pearance as she stood a step above the crowd before her, her ruddy face, set in a frame of silver white hair, wreathed with Bmiles. She seems to never tire of receiving the greetings of the boys; and certainly the boys never tire of greeting her. She divides the honors with Gen. Sherman. VERY LITTLE BUSINESS DONE. It was evident before 8 o'clock this morning that there would be little business transacted in the city today and, following the suggestion made by the mayor, the majority of business houses closed their doors and all turned out to view the parade. The banks had agreed to close at 1 o'clock each day of the encampment, but no business was being done and most of them closed shortly after 12 o'clock. Though the parade was not to start from 27th street till 10 o'clock people began to seek ad¬ vantageous positions from which to view the line as early as 8 o'clock. In fact, those from interior towns who came in as early as 7 o'clock hied them at once to suitable locations and there held their ground TILL THE LAST VETERAN HAD PASSED BT. At 9 o'clock the crowd that had remained in the vicinity of the Plankington house hoping to get a sight of the distinguished people within moved up the avenue to take places on cross streets. The great mass that moved up the Grand avenue incline and out on the side streets was not much less imposing than the column of soldiers that marched down a few hours later. The fact that another change had been made in the line of march was not well re¬ ceived. After announcing positively that the lino would not cross Grand avenue bridge people desirous of viewing the line made arrangements on the west side and were provoked to find that they need not have made such arrangements. How¬ ever, giving the east side five blocks of the parade, enabled thousands to see it who could not otherwise have done so. The day is perfect, despite the premonitions of rain during the early morning hours and everything favors the success of the grand parade for which the lines are now forming. No accidents have occurred to mar the pleasure of the occasion and the city has been remarkably free from robberies and assaults notwithstanding the presence of an army of crooks. Nearly one hundred pick¬ pockets and thieves have been run in by the police and placed where they can do no harm for the present at least. CASUALTIES. Louis Story, a member of a Minneapolis post, fell ill while marching through the street last night and now occupies a bed in one of the wards at the emergency hospital. Ole Oleson of Eastlake, Mich., who was com- in«r to the city with the Manistee post on the steamer F. and P. M. No. 1, while sleeping on the hurricane deck rolled overboard at mid- night and was drowned. He was forty-eight years of age and leaves a family. LOOKING OVER LETTERS. The President Will Not Do Much Work This Week. Deer Park, Md. , Aug. 27..The President spent the entire morning at the east window of his cottage looking over the letters that con¬ tinue to come in. His head made a fine sil¬ houette against the dark background of the 1118 »tated Uukt the President will giTe little time this week to departmental or other official business. He will devote himself en¬ tirely to conferences by letter with party ItiH ers. No official communication has been re¬ ceived at the White House cottage in reeard to Haytian troubles. . » A Fortune for a Car Drlrer. Boston, Aug. 27..W. HL Mathewson of Cambridge, driver of an electric street car for the West End railway comoany, is one of the eight relatives in line of heirship of the late Hiram Pearsons, son of the late CoL Hiram Pearsons of Chicago. Young was twenty-nine years old and was drowned in Mackinaw straits, Lake Michigan, last July. Mathewson s share of the estate will be about .300,000. A RIOT IN ARKANSAS. Several Person* Killed and Many Others Wounded. Lrrru Bock, in., Aug. 27..Ths Reenter print* the following: Information nuhtd thii city yesterday of a terrible negro riot at Jor¬ dan Brook, not far from Lockesburg, In Sevier county, resulting in the death of several and the wounding of many other*. Jordan Brook ia a small town situated on the edge of an immense strip of pine timber many miles from the nearest telegraph office. For woe time the negroes of that county hare been spending their Saturday nights in a Jubilee ceremony in the woods near the town, and last Saturday night was set as the time for an especially large and uproarious gathering. A great quantity of whisky was introduced, the people coming from all over the country to PABTICIPATB I* THE "HURRAH." Shortly after 9 o'clock trouble began in a quarrel "between Jos. Jordan and Win. New- comb and it ended in Newcomb shooting Jor¬ dan in the breast with a load of turkey shot. The wounded man was carried into the woods and while fighting was still going on at the grounds he died from his wounds. Meanwhile the utmost confusion and uproar prevailed. The women scattered to get out of the way and the men fired at each other in their drunken fury without knowing whom they were shooi¬ ng at. 15 THE CI.AMOR THAT BESULTED it was impossible to secure the names of all the wounded and injured, but it is known that sev¬ eral are fatally hurt, while many are seriously wounded. Frank Holt is known to be dead with four bullets in his body, while Anderson Neal lay near him shot through the hip. These men met in the darknesa and promptly began a battle with pistols. As toon as tne news reached Lockesburg a posse of white men started for the wne of the disturbance, but the contest¬ ants had all disappeared when they arrived. 'The grounds were in great disorder, however, and taere was every evidence of the deadly struggle which had taken place. THE BAR ASSOCIATION. A Great Gathering of Lawyers In Chicago. Chicaoo, Aug. 27..The Grand Paciflo hotel was crowded today with lawyers from all parts of the country who have come to Chicago to attend the twelfth annual meeting of the Amer¬ ican bar association which will begin at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning at the First Metho¬ dist church auditorium. It is expected that more than 1.000 delegates will attend.this year's session. The proceedings will begin tomorrow morning when Judge Trumbull, on behalf of the Chicago and Illinois bar association, will introduce the national association as a body to its Illinois representatives and will deliver an address of welcome to the visiting lawyers. David Dudley Field of New York, the present president of the association, has been here for several days and the New York city bar asso¬ ciation arrived at the hotel at 10:50 o'clock and paid their respects to that famous New York jurist. WHIPPED AND ARRESTED. James Murray Beaten by the St. Paul Kid and Captured by the Police. Trot, N. Y., Aug. 27..There was a prize fight at Cohoes early this morning between Joseph Murray of New York and James Ken- nard, the "St. Paul kid." Fourteen rounds were fought. Murray was unable to stay longer as his wrist had been broken and the fight was given to Kennard. After the fight the Cohoes police raided the hotel in which the battle was fought. Kennard had escaped, but Murray and his trainer, John Toohey of New York, were arrested. They were bailed for examination to-morrow. The fight was for 4250 a side and the gate money. THE STRIKE STILL SPREADING. Rumor That the Printers will Join Fight for the Eight-Hour System. Loi»do5, Aug. 27..The strike is still spread¬ ing and the relative positions of the employers and the strikers remains unchanged. Rumors are in circulation today that the printers in- tend joining the strike, which is virtually a fight for a universal eight hour system, and wage earners in branches of industry hitherto believed to be beyond the reach of the contami¬ nating influence of strikes are becoming restive and inclined to cast their fortunes with the dock laborers and their allies. The paralysis which pervades the shipping industry shows no sign of improvement in Loudon, but ships are discharging at Chatham and Southampton with¬ out interruption, preferring the chances of get¬ ting their cargoes to London overland to the certainty of being unable to discharge at their accustomed docks. The lord mayor has de¬ clined to act as arbitrator, fearing to interfere in duties properly belonging to the judges of the courts. THE CRONIN CASE. Only Begga and Woodruff can now Become Government Witnesses. Chicaoo, Ang. 27..The Time* says that as s result of yesterday's proceedings Burke, Coughlin, O'Sullivau and Kunze have been placed in such a position that they cynnot turn state's evidence or become witnesses for the prosecution. In their affidavits for separate trials ench swears that he knows absolutely nothing about the murder. In consequence the men cannot, without becoming themselves perjurers, go upon the wituess stand and tell anything about it. Only two of the accused are thus left by the attorneys for the defense open to become informers. The two are Beggs and Woodruff. BURKE MAT BE A WITNESS. Burke is said to be in a fair way to reach the witness stand. Judge Wing in his affidavit yes¬ terday swore that he was informed and believed that Burke had made statements to the state attorney. Burke batted his eyes vigorously and got a bit redder under the charge, but Mr. Longenecker yesterday afternoon still main¬ tained that Burke had not confessed. The defense seem to regard him as . weak brother and would like to get him into a trial of his own. Capt. Schuller yesterday found the man who is paying for Burke's meals. O'Toole is not the man' and the capitain decline* to say who is. No tidings were received of the tin box or the expressman,though both were being diligently sought. White Emigrants for Arkansas. Memphis, Ten*., Aug. 27..Passenger Agent Williams of the Memphis and Charleston road has contracted for 400 white families to be brought from the Carolina* to Woodruff county, Ark., where they will go to work October 1 as day laborers. Next seaaon they will be renters or croppers on shares as they may choose. The same agent has also made ar¬ rangement* to bring 8,000 negroes from the Carolina* and Georgia to various point* in the Yazoo delta. They will reach their destination in time to aaaist in gathering the cotton crop. William* has already brought out over 3,000 negroe*. Capt. Rogers to Try Again. Borrow, Mass., Aug. 27..Capt C. T. Rogers, the daring skipper who braved the *torm* of the Atlantie for thirty-nine days in his little ¦loop rigged dory Nickeledeon, says that he will renew the attempt to reach Europe next summer, when he will probably nae the same boat and expects to make the trip ia ¦eventy- Lve days. A Diamond Ring Case. Nrw Yobe, Ang. 27..The case of Mi*s Clara Mitchell, an actress, charged by Miss Xenia Carl*tadt, also an actress, with stealing from her a diamond ring on August 38 last, was ad¬ journed today by Justioe r ord until Saturday to give the defendant time to restore the stolen property. Miaa Mitchell ia said to belong to a wealthy and respectable family and that Mitchell is an assuased name. Both women boarded at the same hotel. Miss Mitchell is a handsome blonde and says she is about seven¬ teen years old. Miss Oarlstadt ia a brunette, aged twenty-three. She was born ia Sweden. THK OHIO DEMOCRATS. I Tb*y Art Gathering at Dayton for the ' Convention. Ditto*, Ohio, An*. 27..Every train coming in add* crowd* to the throng* gathering for the democratic *tate convention, and flag* and banner* are displayed at every po**ible point W itbout respect to party the city i* given np to enjoyment of the parade of club*, and band* are playing and men marching in all direction*. It i« to be a mammoth demonstration, led by the Duck¬ worth club of Cincinnati. 200 strong. The bus* scenes are around the headquarter* of Hon. James E. Campbell and Hon. Lawrence X. Seal, from which all manipulation* radiate. IT IS A 8HA.nr FIGHT between these two for the nomination for gov¬ ernor and the moat akilled democrat* of the .tate are in it. The Neal party, in an eneeavoi to stave off nomination* until after the flr*1 ballot, are devoting their energie* to breaking up delegationa that have been rated solid for Campbell, and their persistent claims to hav« made inroad* has had the effect at least of cheering up the Seal men and causing more careful and systematic work on the part of the Campbell following. Neal claim* a number oi the Hamilton county delegation, but will only get eight vote* there. Montgomery county is ¦olid tor Campbell, thongh Neal has se>era! personal friend* in it. Franklin county u divided. Cuyahoga county is controlled by Virgil P. Kline, who aspiresto the secoud place on the ticket. Lucas county is for Campbell. THREE HUNDRED AND JTINETT-SIX VOTES are necessary to nominate, and most carefully revised figure* give Campbell 123 vote* on the first ballot. Hon. M. D. Harter will be made chairman of the convention without the slight¬ est opposition, and there is nothing in light to indicate a controversy upon any point other than the usual trifling frictions incident to the organization of large conventions like this. Kline May Get the Nomination. Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 27..A dispatch to the Prest from Dayton say* that the fiiiht be¬ tween Campbell and Neal for the democratic gubernatorial nomination ha* re*olved it-el! into the old Pendleton-McLean fend, and thai Kline of Cuyahoga county will stand an excel¬ lent chance of carrying off the coveted plum. It ia now predicted that a strong tariff reform plank will be introduced into the platform. AFFAIRS AT JOHNSTOWN. Business Men to Sue the Fishing Club for Damages. Joh*stowj», Pa., Aug. 27..The business men of Johnstown mean business with a vengeance if the action taken last night is any indica¬ tion. The meeting had been called to take I action regarding bringing suit against the fish¬ ing club. There wa* a large attendance and much enthusiasm. Speeches were made by a number of the leading business men and'al! urged that a suit for damages be instituted. Messrs. John Thomas A Sons, who bad investi¬ gated the matter, reported that Messrs. John H. Linton and W. Horace Rose, two of the lead¬ ing attorneys of the town, had agreed to fully investigate the matter for a retaining fee of £ 1.000. The amount was quickly raised and a committee was appointed to confer with these legal gentlemen and direct them to institute suit at once. It was also agreed that if their report was favorable several attorneys of na¬ tional reputation should be employed and the suit pushed rapidly to a conclusion." MlssXAREED ORA V EH. Through the careleasnes* of some of the em¬ ploye* the graves of flood victims in Grand View cemetery do not correspond to the num¬ ber of the morgue record. This was painfally illustrated yesterday when James W. Shumaker, a prominent merchant of the town, ideutified some jewelry as belonging to his wife, un J when the grave corresponding to the number was opened the body wa* found to be that of a man. The bodies here were buried in trenches and Mr Shumaker had over thirty bodies in one trench lifted yesterday, hoping that he might find his wife. At the Prospect Hill cemetery much more care was taken and every grave corresponded to the description on the morgue books. AN AFRICAN THRONE. King Leopold Abdicates After Having Ruined Himself tn the Experiment. London, Aug. 27..It is reported from Brus¬ sels that king Leopold haa definitely decided to abdicate hi* sovereignty of the Congo free state in Africa, and as the royal personages who are at present out of a job in Europe are quite familiar with Leopold's reasons for this course it is not at all likely that the vacant throne will soon be filled. Enterprising American* may be interested to learn that this crown ana scepter, with all the other appurtenance* of royalty, will soon be on the market, and those w ho nave au ambition to found a throne on the dark continent should make a note of it. THK EXPERIMENT OF AM AFRICAN THKoNR ha* been an exceedingly coatly one for Leo- pold. Every year the Congo state, with a population of 27.000,000, such as they are, showed up a big loser, and as the deficit bad to be made up in some way King Leopold sacrificed his private fortune year after year for the pur¬ pose. When this was all gone he mortgaged nis civil list for the sums necessary to keep the African state moving along, and today the Rothschilds hold mortgages against him ag¬ gregating 16,000.000 franca Leopold ha* QL-ITC B CI NED HIMSELF FIXANCIALLY with thi* pet hobby of hi* and find* himself in a position now where the only course left open to him is to abdicate. An effort will be made to induce the Belgian chambers to tike the burden of running the Congo slate upon them¬ selves as a Belgian colony, but there ia little likelihood that this plan' will succeed. The ia^tis the king's subject* scarcely share his enthusiasm tor Africa and are not likely to vote the vast sums the absorption of the state wonld call for. So it is quite likely the throne will be peddled about Europe and may be had for the asking by any good man with recommenda¬ tions from hi* last employer. TEXAS FEVER RAVAGES. Cattle Dying by Hundreds in the Pasture Land* of the Indian Territory. Kaxsas Cmr, Mo., Aug. 27..Reliable news of the greatest importance to cattlemen in all sections of the United States comes from the southern line of Kansas and the pasture lands or the Indian territory. There has been for some time a suspicion among cattle dealer* that the herd* of native and Texaa cattle which range in the territory were afflicted with Texa* fever, but nothing definite could be learned. A man named William Johnson ha* ju*t returned from a trip to Oklahoma and passed through the country where the herds are pastured.

A colored ¦«»" who bought 130 head of good natives and had them in a pasture with through Texans has already lost over half of his herd and the rest are dying rapidly. This incident is reported from several pasture* and cattlemen are be¬ coming much alarmed. Among cattle raisers it is a prevalent belief that the -"-m is m* Texas fever, but something even more seriooa. It is said the managers of the Iiimsi City stock yards will take immediate action in the -iiftr- and try to prevent the shipping of eatUe the points where the diseass is raging.

Those who have seen Lieiupsey say he was never in fiuer trim. aud. though he would make a better showing with gloves, they expect an easy victory for him. Many report* are spreading of the Marine's erratic method* of training and of his indulgence in liquor. Ex¬ perts say he is in fair condition, but his condi¬ tion is not equal to Jack's, fie counts on a knockout with his right. He will weigh 152 and Dempsey 154. One Preacher Murders Another.

ACTIVITY AT THE NAVY YARD.Work Going Rapidly Forward In the

New Gun Shop.takkco a bio oci» raoM the pit.ah nrrxm-nmo Km At tu tard this mobkiwo.HOW THX TBAVELIXO CUM WOXXS.IfAXISOARMORED TCBRET8.

The navy yard tu never more active than atpreeent, barring, of course, those troubloustime* of terror in the 'GOs. In a different de¬gree and in a different sense aa well it is stillthe center of warlike preparation*. Hundred*of workmen are busy each day over long tabesthat lay in peaceful silence on boring machines,but ma* one day send forth a bellow of de¬struction and death. Innocent-looking lumpsof iron with pointed ends stand round inmyriads, now like so many paper weights, thatmay some day screech and scream in an infer¬nal flight. On every band lie the munitions ofwar.guns, carriages, armor, projectiles, infer¬nal machines.to reinforce prestige and to bafflean enemy.

thx sew auit SHOP.The work on the new gun shop is being

pushed as rapidly as possible. The south endis already fitted with a number of machines.lathes, borers, riflers and other gear. Themammoth traveling crane is in operation, oneof the engines is in place and the great shrink-ing pit is in working order. But it will be sev¬eral more weeks before the ordnance work canbe started, 'lhe north end is yet unpaved.There are no tools set up in the n'nw part at alland.confusion reigns.

BAI8IXO A bio oux.This morning the great 8-inch steel rifle that

has just been given its first jacket was raisedfrom the pit and carried out of the building.It is about 25 feet in length and weighs up¬ward of 12 tons at present. The operation oflifting it from the pit, which is fully GO feetdeep, was a delicate one, but it was performedby the crane with an artistic finish that waswonderful. A sling was put around a woodenshoulder that had been fitted to the gun justin front of the new jacket, and other gearingswere put in place to provide lo: an emergency.A little engine down near the north end of thelong building was furiously turning a squareshafting that glistened in its wabblingmotion throughout the entire length of theshed, high up in the air. A man

HANOINO IX A CAOKunder the crane pulled one of a half a dozenlevers and the great steel tube was slowly liftedout of the pit, its lower, smaller end coatedwith a red rust. When the breech was a halfa dozen feet above the surface of the hole thegreat block that carried the gun, winding fourturns of chain, was moved to the west a fewfeet and the big piece of metal swung up out ofthe pit, the larger end going down and thesmall end up. Theu the entire crane wasmoved, with its swinging load of 12 tons, to¬ward the southern end of the shop. Themuzzle of the gun was pointed northward, anda dozen mtn marched alongside of the tubewith slow steps, for all the world like pallbearers, their hands on the tube to steady it.At the southern end a car was waiting for thsgun. which was slowly lowered npon it, and thegearing stipped off.

TO BECEIVX OTHER JACKETS.This gun will be given other jackcts, grad¬

ually building it up until its breech will be3;£ or 4 feet thick. It will be rifled and fittedwith a breech mechanism. There have beenno more accidents such as happened to the 10-inch gun a year or so ago, when the breechplug, on being put in to see if it fitted, stuck sofast tout it could not be removed. It will beremembered that by Bome one's orders theplug was heated from the inside in order toloosen it, and the effect was directly oppositeto what <rw intended. It was finally, after agood many weeks, bored out. This* accidenthas caused the exercise of great care in thehandling of these costly pieces of steel, andthere have been no more stuck plugs.

makiso rmiNO tcubets.The men in the yard are hard at work on the

armored firing turrets.half turrets in reality.for the new cruisers. These things are from5 to 10 feet high, presenting a semi-circular frontpierced by a hole large enough for the muzzleof a gun. Thev are entirely open in the rear.They are intended to be proof only againstbullets and other small missiles.to protect themen in working the large guns of the broad¬side battery of a ship. They are about 2 inchesthick and weigh probably three or four tonseach.

THE NAVAL JUDGE ADVOCATE.Changes that Slay be Made In the Navy

Department.The publication in yesterday's Stab of the

impending effort by the contracting ship build¬ers to bring about a change in the Navy de¬partment, so as to have smoother failing in thefuture, caused considerable gossip at the de¬portment today. Naval officers are, as a rule,in favor of a strict holding to specifications inall contracts, and the general opinion is thatthe mere intention of the contractors to securea change in the office is a compli¬ment to Col. Remey's efficient administrationof the judge advocate general's office. He haswatched the interest* of the government withthe most careful eye and has so constructed hiscontracts that poor work meant no pay. Dur¬ing Mr. Whitney's term of office CoL Remeywas in high favor and was appointed to histhird term, but there have been doubts aa towhether he would stand as well with SecretaryTracy. There was a rumor afloat toduy con¬cerning the matter that set many a tongue wag¬ging. This was to the effect that a strong effortwill be made by the line officers of the navyto have Col. Iteuiey made commandant of themarine corps next year upon the retirement ofCol. McCaulev Thi* will then leave vacantthat most desirable post, the judge advocategeneral's office, to be nlled by an officer of theline. This would, it is thought, be most ac¬ceptable to CoL Remev. involving no pecuniaryloss and giving him the nicest billet in thecorps. This would also be an extremely satis¬factory arrangement to certain officers of theline who are supposed to have aspiration*.

Army Changes.A circular waa issued today from the War

department announcing the following change*in the army during the past week:Appointment.Additional Second Lieut. Chas.D. Rhode*, seventh cavalry, to be second lieu¬tenant, sixth cavalry, August 19,1889, vice Stot-.enburg. promoted.Promotions.Lieut. CoL James S. Brisbin,

The Trial of the Charleston.The following telegram was reoeived this

morning by a naval officer from Irving M.Scott, president of the Union iron works of8an Francisco, relative to the recent officialtrial of the cruiser Charleston: ''Successful inevery respect in six hoars' ran under forceddraft. Tha'.'s the way we do things in thewest." This is thought to be a rather remark¬able statement in view of the figures sent fromSan Franoiseo showing the indicated horse¬power developed on this run to have been5,700, while the contract calls tor 7,000. Thevessel is now under penalty of $00 a day.

THE GRAND ARMY PARADE.A Gala Day for the Veterans of the

War.

Milwaukee crowded with ex-soldiers axdCITIZENS.A GENERAL HOLIDAY AND ALLTURN OCT TO WITNESS THE PROCESSION.EVERYBODY FILLED WITH ENTHU8IA8X.

Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 27..Yesterday wasthe day of handshaking and sociability amongthe veterans. No order was thought of andthe private was as great a man as the general.Today the conditions are different. This is thereal grand army day when the men fall into lineand obey orders; when the officer receives ashis right the regulation salute of his sub¬ordinates. The old soldier this morning as herolled out of his bunk of straw orfrom between counterpanes, as the case mightbe, instinctly gave himself an extra shake forappearance sake, smoothed out a few wrinklesin his clothes or brushed from them the dustof travel. It was the day of dress parade, andthe veteran who was not anxious to look welland desirous that his company or regimentmake a good appearance was not worthy ofhis name.

CROWDS IN THE CITT.This morning the cities and towns of the

state seemed to have emptied themselves intoMilwaukee. It is not an exaggeration to saythat bv noon fully 50.000 Wisconsin people fromoutside the city had arrived. There were agreat many delegations that expected to reachhere last night, but were belated and arrivedbetween 7 and 9 o'clock this morning. Therewas a little more disorder in finding quartersthan there was yesterday morning, as attentionwas centered on the parade, but most of thearrivals managed to find their quarters and getinto place in time to move with the column.On every vacant spot in the most busy streetspost commanders could be seen drilling theirlittle squads of men and giving instructions forfalling into line in the parade. Some of theposts were tew in numbers while others werelarge. The Hansom post of St. Louis num¬bered more than any seen before.the columnmoved. With its band it had nearly 300 inline.

IN THE HOTELS THE CRUSH WAS TERRIBLE.It was all one could do to force his way

through. In the Plankinton house especially,where Gen. Sherman, Gen. Alger, Commis¬sioner Tanner and Mrs. Logan were, crowdswere standing around waiting to get a glimpseof the distinguished parties. Mrs. Logancoming down the steps from the large din¬ing hall about 9 o'clock leaning on the armof Gen. Alger was forced to hold an im¬promptu reception as a crowd of veter¬ans from one direction and a bovy ofladies from the opposite direction rushed togreet her. Mrs. Logan had a distinguished ap¬pearance as she stood a step above the crowdbefore her, her ruddy face, set in a frame ofsilver white hair, wreathed with Bmiles. Sheseems to never tire of receiving the greetings ofthe boys; and certainly the boys never tire ofgreeting her. She divides the honors withGen. Sherman.

VERY LITTLE BUSINESS DONE.It was evident before 8 o'clock this morning

that there would be little business transactedin the city today and, following the suggestionmade by the mayor, the majority of businesshouses closed their doors and all turned out toview the parade. The banks had agreed toclose at 1 o'clock each day of the encampment,but no business was being done and most ofthem closed shortly after 12 o'clock.Though the parade was not to start from 27th

street till 10 o'clock people began to seek ad¬vantageous positions from which to view theline as early as 8 o'clock. In fact, those frominterior towns who came in as early as 7 o'clockhied them at once to suitable locations andthere held their ground

TILL THE LAST VETERAN HAD PASSED BT.At 9 o'clock the crowd that had remained in

the vicinity of the Plankington house hoping toget a sight of the distinguished people withinmoved up the avenue to take places on crossstreets. The great mass that moved up theGrand avenue incline and out on the sidestreets was not much less imposing than thecolumn of soldiers that marched down a fewhours later. The fact that another change hadbeen made in the line of march was not well re¬ceived. After announcing positively that thelino would not cross Grand avenue bridgepeople desirous of viewing the linemade arrangements on the west sideand were provoked to find that theyneed not have made such arrangements. How¬ever, giving the east side five blocks of theparade, enabled thousands to see it who couldnot otherwise have done so. The day isperfect, despite the premonitions ofrain during the early morninghours and everything favors thesuccess of the grand parade for which the linesare now forming. No accidents have occurredto mar the pleasure of the occasion and thecity has been remarkably free from robberiesand assaults notwithstanding the presence ofan army of crooks. Nearly one hundred pick¬pockets and thieves have been run in by thepolice and placed where they can do no harmfor the present at least.

THE STRIKE STILL SPREADING.Rumor That the Printers will Join

Fight for the Eight-Hour System.Loi»do5, Aug. 27..The strike is still spread¬

ing and the relative positions of the employersand the strikers remains unchanged. Rumorsare in circulation today that the printers in-tend joining the strike, which is virtually a

fight for a universal eight hour system, andwage earners in branches of industry hithertobelieved to be beyond the reach of the contami¬nating influence of strikes are becoming restiveand inclined to cast their fortunes with thedock laborers and their allies. The paralysiswhich pervades the shipping industry shows nosign of improvement in Loudon, but ships aredischarging at Chatham and Southampton with¬out interruption, preferring the chances of get¬ting their cargoes to London overland to thecertainty of being unable to discharge at theiraccustomed docks. The lord mayor has de¬clined to act as arbitrator, fearing to interferein duties properly belonging to the judges ofthe courts.

THE CRONIN CASE.

Only Begga and Woodruff can nowBecome Government Witnesses.

Chicaoo, Ang. 27..The Time* says that as sresult of yesterday's proceedings Burke,Coughlin, O'Sullivau and Kunze have beenplaced in such a position that they cynnot turnstate's evidence or become witnesses for theprosecution. In their affidavits for separatetrials ench swears that he knows absolutelynothing about the murder. In consequencethe men cannot, without becoming themselvesperjurers, go upon the wituess stand and tellanything about it. Only two of the accusedare thus left by the attorneys for the defenseopen to become informers. The two areBeggs and Woodruff.

BURKE MAT BE A WITNESS.Burke is said to be in a fair way to reach the

witness stand. Judge Wing in his affidavit yes¬terday swore that he was informed and believedthat Burke had made statements to the stateattorney. Burke batted his eyes vigorouslyand got a bit redder under the charge, but Mr.Longenecker yesterday afternoon still main¬tained that Burke had not confessed. Thedefense seem to regard him as . weakbrother and would like to get him into a trialof his own. Capt. Schuller yesterday found theman who is paying for Burke's meals. O'Tooleis not the man' and the capitain decline* to saywho is. No tidings were received of the tinbox or the expressman,though both were beingdiligently sought.

IT IS A 8HA.nr FIGHTbetween these two for the nomination for gov¬ernor and the moat akilled democrat* of the.tate are in it. The Neal party, in an eneeavoito stave off nomination* until after the flr*1ballot, are devoting their energie* to breakingup delegationa that have been rated solidfor Campbell, and their persistent claims to hav«made inroad* has had the effect at least ofcheering up the Seal men and causing morecareful and systematic work on the part of theCampbell following.

AN AFRICAN THRONE.

King Leopold Abdicates After HavingRuined Himself tn the Experiment.London, Aug. 27..It is reported from Brus¬

sels that king Leopold haa definitely decidedto abdicate hi* sovereignty of the Congo freestate in Africa, and as the royal personages whoare at present out of a job in Europe are quitefamiliar with Leopold's reasons for this courseit is not at all likely that the vacant throne willsoon be filled. Enterprising American* maybe interested to learn that this crown anascepter, with all the other appurtenance* ofroyalty, will soon be on the market, and thosew ho nave au ambition to found a throne on thedark continent should make a note of it.

THK EXPERIMENT OF AM AFRICAN THKoNRha* been an exceedingly coatly one for Leo-pold. Every year the Congo state, with apopulation of 27.000,000, such as they are,showed up a big loser, and as the deficit bad tobe made up in some way King Leopold sacrificedhis private fortune year after year for the pur¬pose. When this was all gone he mortgagednis civil list for the sums necessary to keep theAfrican state moving along, and today theRothschilds hold mortgages against him ag¬gregating 16,000.000 franca Leopold ha*

QL-ITC BCINED HIMSELF FIXANCIALLYwith thi* pet hobby of hi* and find* himself ina position now where the only course left opento him is to abdicate. An effort will be madeto induce the Belgian chambers to tike theburden of running the Congo slate upon them¬selves as a Belgian colony, but there ia littlelikelihood that this plan' will succeed. Theia^tis the king's subject* scarcely share hisenthusiasm tor Africa and are not likely to votethe vast sums the absorption of the state wonldcall for. So it is quite likely the throne will bepeddled about Europe and may be had for theasking by any good man with recommenda¬tions from hi* last employer.
