Pittsbchg, July 26. Democratic sen
timent here is revolving rapidly to ob
tain a grain of comfort from the Home
stead strike. The view that it would
have the effect of swinging many thous
ands of labor votes in Pennsylvania this
fall, is fast losing the little hope left, be-
fore the attempt upon the life of Mr.
Trick," which, though not yet substan-
tiated by.evidence is thought to be the
iirect work of the amalgamated associa
tion. That a prolonged strike in the
Carnegie mills would be of advantage to
utbe..uemocrats is unquestionably true,
..V'&nfceven such an upheaval as the Home'
-lietaadvcivil war cannot move some of the
ui protectionist workmen. The main point

Kbwpoet, July 24. The season opens
a Jittle latter than usual; and probably
will not reach its bight until the mid
dle of August. The writer was at New
port from Triday until Tuesday, of the
present week, and enjoyed the luxuries
of that popular resort, except the great
crowd of people who will jostle' each
other in the hotels and private boarding
houses a little later on. The natural at
tractions are here the cool bracing at
mosphere, the invigorating sea breezes,
the diet of crabs, oysters, etc., and the
perch and rock -cod from their lairs be

There is no question, however, that with
the extension of the railroad eastward,
a city of commercial importance will

quite .certain of beiDg that city, but it
cannot be far awav. Her best hold at
the present time is to fortify her position
as a seaside resort, by increasing her at

WAsaixOTox, July 2C.-"In navv . and
army circles nothing, for years, has at
tracted so much attention, as the new
process nickel-steel plate, just tested at
the Indian proving grounds, for experi
mental purposes. It was so treated that
it could be manufactured at a cost slight
ly exceeding the cost now paid for the
nickel plate. Accordingly the Bethle
hem steel works, which has the con
tract for the bulk of the armor plate
manufactured for the navy, sent to New
York for a special plant for making
plate by this process. The plant has
been finished, and its first product was
the i inch plate tested. Secretary
Tracy and Commander Folger pro
nounce the result satisfactory, and say
the armor plate tested is the best' ever
made. It gave results satisfactory to
the ordnance experts,, and", in " their
opinion, more important than any other
developed. Previous trials- had demon
stratedthe superiority of theHarveyia'cd
plate over all others, but the plates of
this character were manufactured- at
such great cost and nnder such condi'
tions that it required farther experiment
to demonstrate whether or not they
coald be uniformly tempered for a sum
that would warrant their use. Shortly
after the trials of last, an turn n the au
tborities made a contrast for the right to
use the Harvey process whenever it
shoold be devoloped to a certain point
in this or in any country,- It was sub
jected-to a severer test thorn any of the
previous-plates. None of the five shots
auccteded in getting through, and at the
conclusion of the trial the plate was in
tact. After this showine there can ;be
nOdowbttbat the plate o the inter
mediate future- is a nicker-steel plate,
Harveyized.

wreck. ' Altogether. 35 men are at work.
These include four professional . divers,
who are paid $10 a day for four hours'
work, and $4 a day when not engaged.
Suits' are also provided for. them, at a
cost of a day for each diver.
''Tlifl wreck lies in 24 feet of water at
high tide snd-iwelve at low. The higher
the tide the better the divers can. work,
as the eea is comparatively still below,
the breakers rolling ipver the divers and
not bothering themVin their ..work
Four rails make a ton. ann a ton is
raised at a time. , The divers adjust the
; chains around the ends of the rail and
give the signal to hoist, and two engites
do the rest. During this fine weather
from 50 to 100 tons are lifted out daily.
The ship carried 2300 and 500 tons have
already been taken oat. ' It Is expected
that the work will be ended some time
in August, and possibly sooner. -.
"After the' rails are taJien out they
are hauled along the beacb five miles.
They are then placed upon a railway
built by the wreckers and carried a mile
across the peninsula to a point on Gray's
Harbor, where they can be loaded either
on the railroad or on a vessel and carried
to market. They are worth from 458 to
$60 per ton in Portland,, and as tliey can
be gotten therefor $2 a ton, or lees-than
$5, from the wreck itself,, it is seen that
Mr. Canon has all of $100,000;- and
between that figure and tbe cost of the
undertaking will be profit- The profit'
will be somewhere between- $50,000' and
$00,000. The rails are not injured in the-
least. Tbey were covered with coal tar
before being-, placed in the vessel;
and when' this- is seraped off the red
sand of tha blast- is- found attached to
tbe steels Mr' Cannon went into the
enterprise after a number of professional
wreckers had proDoncred it impracti

San Fkancisco, July, 37. The navat
battalion has made- application to the
secretary. of the navy for the use- of the
cruiser Charleston for a week's cruise.
It is confidently expected that- permls-
I sion will be granted, as .this1 branch of
the National Guard of California is en
titled to a summer cruise for the same
period that the infantry and artillery
enjoy the pleasure and instruction of a
week in camp. The Charleston is ex-'
pected here early in August, and with
the sanction of Secretary Tracy t she will
immediately prepare to. entertain the.
naval battalion for a week.' f ? 1 ; j -y,
Though the prospective crnise remains
as yet a matter of. ;uncertaint-, a pro
gramme for a week's doings Las. been
mapped out, in anticipation. that an op-j
portunity will be afforded to carry it
out. Four companies b-i.11 go ioto quar
ters on the Pentacola, and will enjoy a
daily cruise on the" Charleston, either to
the Farallones or up and down the coast,
Where an opportunity may . be had for
practice 'with the cruiser's big" guns.
One day will be devoted to landing
drills on tbe.beach near the Preeido, and
others to the various other drills and
marine maneuvers which can be crowded
into a week. . In case the Charleston is
secured for the week, she will be com
pelled to return the battalion each even
ing to the echool ship on account of a
lack of accommodations on the cruiser
for such a large force of men and officers,
which places the matter of a long cruise
out of the question.

A Wasvo County Keeort.
So man v people are absent from The -
Dalles, at the coast, innteontain camps
and elsewhere, that if society people -were
inclined to be merry these days
they couldn't do so on a large scale.
Out of town amusements began earlv
this yeaT. . Tbe devotees-- tbe camp
fire and the- lovers of wild woods and
babbling streams are lagioa. Sliced
bacon and pheasants, mountain trout
and bad coffee, seasoned with the spice
of novelty, piles high the festive boards.
Wasco couaty,. as- has been remarked
before, has-not all the summer resorts -in
Oregon,. but we claim all that any, of
the others have, of a fascinating charac
ter, .and nanch more besides. Cloud
Cap Inn, from which the-writer has -just
returned, is certainly the- finest spot on
the Pacific coast for a eummer outing.
Mr.. Moody s. coaching;. party reached

last evening. Mr. Jud..tr. Fish's coach
ing party met them about three-hour's-drive
(up-the grade) this- side of Cloud
Cap at 6.pv in.. Having: experienced the
pleasure of. being, one. of Mr.. Fish's
party, readers of Tbe Caaoxicxs will in
due time be furnished wiUi a detailed
history of Cloud Cap, its picturesque,
and lovely stirroundings,.7,000 feet above -the
sea level, at tbe edge of. the timber
line, where the cooling breezes, from the
perpetual snow capped summit of Mount
Hood.; just at the back door;, invites
you to a seat with rlokl glass-in hand to
take-in the marvels of nature in all her
intense moods, of majestic grandeur.
The-road is'the'finestfin the world, and

ocean to the focal plane of the. light.'
The lamp is an immense circular five
