3 THE BUFFALO EXPRESS, SI NDAY MORNINGS JUNE 16; 1889. ir AN ADDRESS BY MIL GLADSTONE. WILLIAM E. LYMAV. I CAEI.ETON LYMAN.

H0R5ELLSVILLE. TWO STEEL CRUISERS. ally prepared by a process invented by Mr. Eastman. Mr.

Eastman has removed the greatest difficulty in the way of rapid and satisfactory out-door work, while adding facility in in-door photography, especially on large work. Its application to astronomical photography, which is just beginning to make great additions to our knowledge of the heavens, will add facilities hitherto, undreamed of. Crouse, who intends it as a memorial for his late wife. The commencement programme issued by the university authorities, which of course means that Chancellor Sims arranged it, announces that the Crouse College will be dedicated Saturday, June 22d. at 8.30 P.

M. It now looks as if the building would not be dedicated as announced. Mr. Crouse is a very peculiar man in many ways, but at the same time it must be conceded that, when he voluntarily offers to build, furnish and present free of charge, lo Syracuse University, the finest college building in existence, he should have his own say in its construction and completion. It is a well-known fact that Chancellor Sims has nearly put his foot in it several times by attempting to dictate or at least instruct Mr.

Crouse as to how the building should be constructed. On one occasion early ift its construction the Chancellor took occasion to remark that elevators were a useless appendage to a college. Mr. Crouse told him that the building must have at least one or two elevators and also that if he couldn't have his and not be interfered with he would abandon the entire project. Mr.

Crouse returned from New-York this week, and it is surmised that he was. not pleased wit.h the announcement made in the commencement programme. The Chancellor now sees his mistake, for he has known all along that the building could not be dedicated with Mr. Crouse's consent. Mr.

Crouse won't consent until the building is completed. The building won't be completed at that time, and it is quite probable that it won't be dedicated, Chancellor Sims notwithstanding. The Catholic Young Men's Association disbanded with a grand banquet Wednesday evening after an existence of 25 years. It was one of the leading religious organizations of the city. The banquet was a grand affair.

The programme included an address by President Coughlin; a history of the Y. M. A. by John V. Killian a prophecy by L.

P. Foley; a recitation, "Erin Flag," by Charles McGuire; a toast, "Our Association," bv John F. Whelan; a declamation, "Caster's Last Charge," by W. F. a toast, "Our Social Successes," eloquently responded to by D.

F. Cushing a poem by M. J. Owen; a toast "Our Ladies," by T. F.

Quigley; a toast "Our, Benedict Members," by -George Doyle; "Our Dead." by J.J. Kelly; "The Emerald Isle," by John R. Quigley; a song, "The Death of Owen Roe O'Neill," by J. C. DuPlessius; a declamation, "Fontenoy" by T.

1 i- i1, i 1 I a i nrininar Experience on an Ccean Steamer Other Vessels In Peril. New-York, June 15. When the North Ger man Lloyds steamer Saale arrived, at eight last evening, at quarantine, ttiere was a laree patch of paint wanting on her port bow. It was an insignificant-looking abrasion, but it was the mark of as narrow an escape as great Atlantic liner has had many a day ine aaie lett Southamptbh Fridayi June 7, at i.u a. and carried 911 passengers.

Up to i uesday the weather was beautiful. Tues day evening the vessel ran into thick wet banks of mist, and the fog-horn began its dismal task, and, with the damp air, drove the passengers below and early, to bed. It is the season of anxiety concerning ice tor ine irans-Atiantic lines, and the Saale course was accordingly the most southerly. ana took her west below the most southerly poinioi me oanKs. uy Six clock Tuesday luutmng, wiereiore, ine saale snould, pre- suiuaoiy, oave reacnea tne path or south bound ice, if any there were.

At 10 P. m. Tuesday the fdg was at its thick est and the air perceptibly colder. The watch was doubled. There were two look- puts in the "basket, a sort of Arctic crow nest on the foremast; 50 feet from the deck on the bridge were Richter and i the second officer.

At 11.15 Captain Richteif detected small ice in the" water close under tlie bow. He sprang vu viic eignai apparatus ana stopped the en gine. Almost immediately the fog seemed to a little, and right ahead, the Captain saw wun nis nigni glass huge iceberg. the gray outline of lie gave the order fhard, and re verse full speed," before any one about ihad .1 j. seen me ice or guessea nis reason.

the ice berg was about six boat-lengths away, and the Saale was headed straight for it. It loomed up in the fog like a great dark gray wan, seemea iq grow rapialy taller as the boat swept down toward it. On the right it descendjid to the Water abruptly, with an overhangiffg peak. To the left it disappeared lnaesnttiy in the tog; a wail of untathonable gray, high here and low there, big as a Cross- town blocx, and from fifty to seventy feet height, but with foundations of seven tin as many feet in depth- lhebaales helm vas hard aport, but it seemed as if she never wotild answer it. mThe passengers, who had run bo deck and out of the: smoking-rooms when they heard the orders from the bridge and felt the engines stopped, apd noticed the violent vibration of the reversed action, crowded under the bridge and to the taff rail, with their hearts in their mouths.

4: The sight was appalling, i The great bulk and uncontrollable impetus! of the ship seemed to carry them to an overwhelming de struction. The ice wall loomed higher and higher; it reflected the lights ot the ship and gave bacic the sound Ot the. wash, ot the part ed waters at her bows, But slowly i she swerved to starboarcj anil then, as if by magic, she gave a great surge, shrank away as it were, from that mighty wall of ice, and with a great careen to starboard and a terri fying crunching and grinding along her iron sides, forged away into clear water, while the icebercr. all clittering with the ship's lierht and with he waves lashing: furiously about its uuc, jiuu iu sigut lu the log and darkness. The careen to starboard was exactly like what happens3 to a ferryboat when she strikes the spring pilingof her; slides.

The Saale had run up upon the submerged foot of the iceberg and had safely Off again. The shock had been tremendous and exceeding! noisy, but it had inflicted ho damage. Tne Saale passengers held a thanksgivincr service on board Wednesday, and will present Capt. Kichter with a handsome piece ox plate. Little Valley.

Syracuse, June 15. Last Monday Juktice Kennedy handed down a decision vacating the temporary injunction obtained by ex-the Jtidge George F. Corostock to restrain Mayor and Common Council, the State Canal Board, and others, from carrying out the provisions of the law for the establishing of a water department of the City of Syratiuse. Iq his decision Justice Kennedy holds with the city in all important points, dissolves' the temporary injunction and thus remove)) all obstacles to the Mayor's appointing the members of fbe Water 5oaVd and the establishing of city ownership of its Water svstem. This a ereat victory for the friitnds of the Skaneateles water movement and they are accordingly jubilant Expectation is now on tiptoe as to who will comprise the new There is popular rumor that the bpard will consist jof these prominent jeiti-tens: Henry J.

Mdwry, R. S. Sperry, $Iaj. Alex. H.

Davis. Bi Brooks, R. True, and Daniel Rosenbloom. It is also stroiigly rumored that the Rev. Dr.

C. J. Little, one of the faculty of Syracuse University, will be appointed on the board. Dr. Little did splendid work during the water campaign and his appointment would give great satisfaction.

It is improbable -that the appointments "will be made before nest week, as the Mfeypfis now snimng the bracing air at the Thousand Islands. Henry J.

I .1 Assistant-Secretary Bussey has rendered a in the pension case of Mary Ellason, widow of James Ellason, late of Company Kmirth Tennessee tavairy. Ellason was granted permission in 186-1, on the recommendation of his regimental feur- prin to take his familv which was wjth ibim ja camp, destitute, to Chattanooga, undei- in sinicuons that he should report to his fegi inrnt there. The regiment did not go to Chattanooga, and, while in pursuance ofs his furlough, the soldier was. captured byjt enemv and died of pneumonia in prison. I I The claim was originally rejected on the cr.mnd that" "the soldier' died neither from injuries received nor from disease contracted in the line of duty," the Department holding th it sol 'Iters on individual furlough are not in line of duty.

i This ruling, the Assistant Secretary holds, is not applicable to this case, as the soldier. being held a prisoner, was physically unable lo comply with the ferrhs of his furlough, land that, as the soldier's regiment did not go to Chattanooga as contemplated, it was impossi hie for him to obey instructions with regard to joining it. The liease from which the soldier died was incurred after the expiration of his ifur- and was, the Assistant Secretary days, imvaUnit to a death wound that might have htm inflicted by the enemy on the baittle- ne'rl. The claimant's name is directed to be placed on the pension roll. Equalizing the Internal Revenue Foroe.

Hill to-day signed the bill providing for the establishment of a State Naval Militia, A memorandum filed with it reads as follows; There has been much misapprehension in regard to this bill, arising, it is believed, rather from its title than from any of its provisions.

Briefly stated, the bill first provides for a separate enrollment of sea-faring men. whenever a enrollment of persons liable to military duty is made. ilt further proposes toj organize a naval militia after the manner of the' National Guard, by voluntary enlistment from persons liable to be enrolled "and from others," after the manner of the National Guard. which is maintained without reference to any actual enrollment It proposes to Increase the active military force of the State, now limited by law to not less than 10.000. and not over 15.000 enlisted men," by the addition of three battalions of naval reserve artillery and a naval reserve tor-, pedo corps," each battalion to be composed of four companies, making au increase in the uniformed militia of perhaps 1,000 officers and men.

to be commanded by officers with naval titles. The wisdom of the bill is certainly open to question. If the force to be raised were purely naval In Its character, rather than essentially a land force, it is at least doubtful whether the State should assume under any circumstances to provide naval defenses for our rivers and harbors. This is the duty of the General Government The advisability of instructing and practicing troops in the use of sea-coast artillery is conceded, but this may be better accomplished by seeding some of our regiments or companies to the forts, or by organizing some of them as regiments or batteries of heavy artillery, or, better still. If the time has come when an increased force Is deemed a necessity, by organizing new batteries under the Military Code.

The National Guard should be maintained in Its integrity, and has shown Itself worthy of the liberal appreciation extended to it by the Legislature, but any extension of the limitation of the statute as to numbers, whether It be -of the National Guard proper or by the addition of a similar force under another name, which might sooner or later involve Increased expenditure, is a matter which should not be hastily adopted or approved. i If the scheme proposed by this bill contem plates any material expenditure on the part of this Mate, now or in the future, i am opposed to 1l I have been strongly urged by many persons prominent In public and business life, officers of the General Government. leading merchants, well-known professional men. and others representing various interests and occupations, to give vitality to this bill and the press has generally committed itself to Its advocacy. Under these circumstances, and.

i remembering that the organization and control of the force proposed, as well as the possibility of Its becoming a charge upon the State Treasury, depend largely upou the action of the Executive, I am disposed to give the views expressed in favor of the bill such liberal consideration as the position of those who presented them may well demand, and to test the merits of the measure by allowing it to become a law. I have, therefore, affixed my signature to the bill. David B. Hill. ARAB TALES OF STA5LEY.

He left Bonalva on September 4th in returning to Albert Nyanza, and expected to rejoin Emin in 83 days by a shorter route.

According to his own calculations, he could not have arrived at the lake before November 25th. The long circuit around Uganda to the northeast shore of Victoria Nyanza and thence to; Ururi would have occupied over, two months. Sir Francis de Winton is probably correct in assigning as late a date as February 2d to the explorer's arrival on the southeastern shore of Victoria Nyanza with his company of invalids, most of whom seem tp have died soon after his return to Emin. Even with this change of date and with the arbitrary substitution of the name of one of Stanley's companions for mysterious Mitchell mentioned in the Zanzibar dispatch, the account is incredible. Emin is represented as having been left behind in Unyara.

If this be the lake village in the district of Kavirondo, Emin must have abandoned the Equatorial Provinces and have accompanied Stanley on the march to the coast for the circuit of the White Nile from the outlet of Albert Nyanza to Unyara is a long and dangerous one, and the Pacha would not have beenlikely to make it merely ior the purpose of assisting Stanley on bis way to the coast A more natural explanation would involve the substitution of Unyoro for Unyara as the district where Stanley expected rejoin Emin after leaving his invalids at Ururi; but the statement i that it was only a 15 days' march stands in the way of that hypothesis. Albert Nyanza, -where Stanley emerged from his 82-days' forest march, is the northern frontier of Unyoro, and Emin's relations with the native tribes have been friendly. He would naturally have been left behind in that quarter if he decided not to return with Stanley to Zanzibar. But the circuit would haVe required two months, and not 15 days. Consequently, as the latter term is mentioned in the dispatch, Unyara must be on the northeast shore of the Victoria Nyanza.

and Ernin. if he be there, must be retreating. I Donald Lean. From the A'rto- York Sun. Donald McLean, the new General Appraiser at tbe Port of New-York, is a lawyer of that city who was recommended for the office by Senators Evarts and Hiscock, ex-Senator Piatt, and others.

OSCA-tt BKNdON 0 JAMESTOWN. Very Generous to Johnstown Police AppointmentsMiscellaneous News. Jamestown, June 15. The supplies for the sufferers bv the flood have been coming In during the week and about $5,000 has been contributed. This is in addition to nearly $2,300 in cash, and when these sums are taken together it will be seen that in proportion to population Jamestown has done as well as other cities.

This week at the regular meeting of the aldermen j. T. Moore received four votes and Con rad A. Hult five. There is a certain clement of comedy in the matter.

Mr. Hult is an old soldier, and so some of the aldermen are voting for him on account of the law compelling appointive offices to be given to old soldiers. While Post Brown, or at least some members, displayed a disposition last winter to stand on their rights and make a test case Under this law, it is more than doubtful whether the majority of the post would like to have Hult appointed. He Is a Democrat, while Mr. Moore is a strong Republican and is thoroughly competent for the place.

Six votes, which -is a majority of the Council, are required to appoint. Mrs. Aldrich of this city, who is 87 years old, recently had a quilt finished to the last block, when the thought came to her that a piece of Mrs. Harrison's inauguration dress would add a becoming finish to the quilt.

Marvin of this city was the owner of several mortgages on the Sherman House and personal property connected with it.

He foreclosed one of these mortgages and became the owner of the property. These mortgages were given by the late Joseph Brandy and were signed with his wife name. Mrs. Brandy now, however, comes in and asks to have the judgment of foreclosure opened and she be given leave to defend. It seems that Mr.

Brandy had another partner beside his true and lawfut wife, anil the real Mrs. Brandy claims the other woman personated her and signed the mortgage before a notary public in Brooklyn. The motion to open the case was argued and the decision reserved. Parke H. Davis left this week for a trip to Albany.

American ingenuity has been foremost Citizens of Rochester have, for the past ten years, been leaders in the work of improvement and the city has thereby gained a reputation throughout the civilized world.

We announce this, morning a discovery and invention by Mr. George Eastman of this city, which is the most important since the discovery of photography itself. In recent years some progress has been made in dispensing with tne glass plate in out-door photography. A carefully-prepared paper has been coated with gela tine emulsion and wound upon rollers in a camera. This was but a partial solution of the problem, for the paper is of necessity opaque, and to secure the best results it was necessary to strip the delicate film from the paper and attach it to glass or some other transparent support This was a tedious process, The discovery and invention by Mr.

Eastman obviate every diffi culty. He has succeeded in producing a strong and perfectly transparent support of exeat flexi bility and extreme thinness, which can bo wound upon rollers, to be exposed, developed and printed like ordinary glass negatives. The transpar ent support is a modification of celluloid, speci -I'M wuji, i.
