The St. LodU Launched and Christened
I) J Mrs. Cleveland.
Philadelphia, Nov. 12. Shortly after
12 oleck the magnificent steamship St.
Louis, of the American line, was suc
cessfully launched at the Cramps' ship
yards. The affair was witnessed by fully
50,000 people. Mrs. Cleveland, wife Of
the president, broke the traditional
bottle of champagne on the bow of the
noble ship as it glided down the ways,
at the same time uttering the words, "I
christen thee St. Louis." In this in
stance and for the first time since the
ceremony was observed at the shipyards,
the champagne was of American make.
All the preparations for the launch had
been carefully made, and, although the
ship is 120 feet longer than any that
ever has been launched, the difficult feat
of getting the vessel from the ways into
the water was accomplished without a
hitch. After the launch, invited guests
to the number of 400 were entertained at
lunch in the office of the builders.
Charles H. Cramp, in a speech of wel
come to President Cleveland, said that
with two exceptions the St. Louis was
the largest and most powerful ship in
the world. He referred to the progress
of shipbuilding under President CI eve
land's administration, and credited to
his policy the fact that such wonderful
results had been accomplished in Amer
ica. "The St. Louis," he said, "is built
"on American plans, by American work'
men and of American material. Twenty
six ships were recommended by Mr.
- Cleveland and authorized by congress.'
Concluding, he said that, while there
may be honest ditterences on questions,
national approval of Cleveland's vigor
ous naval policy would always be unani
mous.
The toast to President Cleveland was
drunk with cheers, and he made a felic
itous response, alluding to the part he
. had taken in restoring American com
merce and building up the navy.
The Klectlon In Hawaii.
Victobia, B. C, Nov. 12. The steam
ship Miowera arrived today, bringing
advices from Honolulu to November 3
as follows :
The election was held October 29th
for senators and representatives for the
legislature. On this island all the can
didates of the American union party
were elected. The single opposition
candidate failed of election. On the
other islands- the candidates elected
are nearly all active supporters of the
republic. It is believed that all the
senators strongly support annexation
notwithstanding there is a disposition
of some of the planters to advocate the
continued independence of the republic,
in order to be free to import Asiatic con
tract labor. Henry P. Baldwin of
Mauri stands at the head of the plant
ers and is a leader in legislation. He
. has come out strongly .for annexation
notwithstanding bis, desire as a planter
for cheap labor. He believes that if an
nexation abolishes the contract labor
system it will more than compensate in
other ways. He thinks that there are
too many Japanese in the conn trv now.
that Portuguese should be introduced
instead, and that the plan of co-opera
ting or the share system would succeed
An autograph letter of Queen Victoria
recognizing the republic of Hawaii, was
. received on the 26th of October by H
B. M. Commander Hawes. Owing to
Vthe absence oi President Dole in Ha
Jfa.n, it has not been presented. An
autograph letter of the czar of. Russia
recognizing the republic, was received
today.
The birthday of the emperor of Japai
was enthusiastically observed here by
his subjects today. A procession of
Japanese paraded the streets. The Chi
nese were much irritated, and notified
'the police that there would be a fight
upon the slightest display of insolence

The British steamer Nanshau arrived
October 28th with 1,000 Japanese labor
ers. Several days previous the Japan
ese sailors mutinied and were supported
by the passengers. A court-martial is
in progress upon the mutineers, held by
the British commissioner. '
Importance of Port Arthsr.
Washington, Nov. 12. The Japanese
legation has not received, up to noon
today, official confirmation of the cap
ture of Port Arthur The legation peo
ple say, however, if Port Arthur has
fallen, it will be 'the most disastrous
blow China has received. Counselor
Stevens, of the legation, said Port Ar
thur had been pronounced impregnable
by the naval experts of Germany. Li
Hung Chang had built there modern
gun factories, which rivaled those of
Kruppa. It is in some respects similar
to Brooklyn or Norfolk navy yards, al
though three times greater. Moreover
Li Hung Chang has centered there the
pick of the Chinese'army. ' It is pointed
out the capture, if effected, is mainly
important in giving the Japanese a for
tification inside of China, from which
they cannot hereafter be dislodged.
The Japanese soldiers will undoubtedly
make the place a depot of operations,
and it will also afford a protected shelter
for the Japanese fleet. The gun factor
ies, which have been the chief reliance
of Li Hung Chang would henceforth be
at the Eervice of Japan.
Port Arthur Captured by the Japanese.
London, Nov. 12. A Shanghai dis
patch says it is reported Port Arthur
was taken by the Japaneae yesterday
without resistance. The Japanese, after
bombarding the place a short time,
made a land assault upon the enemy's
works, when the Chinese surrendered.
The general in command and chief offi
cers of the Chinese forces at Port Arthur
had abandoned the forts November 6,
and dissapeared. A portion of the Chi
nese fleet is at Taku. Several European
ministers are preparing to leave Peking
A Tokio correspondent gives addition
al detaila of the capture of Talien-Wan.
He says six forts on Talien-Wan bay,
mounting SO guns altogether, with all
their stores, ammunition, etc., were
captured. The enemy was completely
routed, and fled panic stricken. The
Japanese parliament has been sum
moned to meet in Tokio in December.
Japan Has Not Answered.
Washington, Nov. 12. Up to noon
today the Japanese had not accepted
the offer of the United States to act as
mediator in the war between Japan and
China. A cable fron the Japanese an
thorities was received this morning ask
ing for more explicit details. A lengthy
answer was sent, giving not only the
desired details, but adding the features
which it is believed will show the Japan
ese government the desirability of the
arrangement. China has already for
mally notified Secretary Gresham she
will join Japan in acknowledging the
independence of Corea, and will ' also
pay a cash indemnity. The amount she
will pay is not specified.

The readers . of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con
stitutional disease, requires a constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the const!
tution and assisting nature to do its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its cultivati ve powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send , for list of
