Wimiikoton, Nov. W. In the presence of a large number of Invited guests, principally from Wash-inRton, the Washington and Norfolk Steamboat Company successfully launched tho first of Us three Iron steamers, which are to ply between Washington and Norfolk, this morning at 0 o'clock. When tho supports were knocked from under the hull the vessel slid gracefully down tho ways Into tho river while the In-tercstcd knot of spectators gavo full vent to tholr feelings and exultation nt tho successful launchlntr of new en-tcrprlie for tho Capital City. As the vcmcI gracefully glided Into the rlvor the most Interesting part of tho ceremony occurred.

Llltlo Jean Mac-Coy. charming llltlo mtss of twclvo summers, acted as tho sponsor for tho now brtdo of tho water, and, breaking a bottlo of wine over the bow of the new and handsome vessel, formally gavo It tho name It will hereafter benr, "Washington." Tho vessel Is ono of tho finest ever turned out from the celebrated yard of tho Harlan and Ilolllngsworth Com pany, ard two other companion boats are on me siooks nnd well under way towards completion.

They have taken up the project of establishing a lino of awlft, cummodloti'. palatld and Maworiby Iron steamers lietween Wash-It Rton and Norfolk In no Illiberal rann-ntr.

They seem lo have the push and enterprise necessary lo carry the project to a succesrul conclusion, and their standing In the community assures them of Us support and co operation.

'MILLIONS IN IT' TUB Jlttm-MITKlsWirz CHI-NlSR CONCUSSION. A 8MUJWT CHANCE THAT FAILED. Th Trm Story This NoM Soh lift Hew Qmh PrinW.

THE mml 9F THE HLYBR MK. The; 1WR hmi the Qthi lm( This Time, ai4 Will Prssjalrj Bet It An Unhappy Hwsier. Tha failure of the banking firm of Uarker, llros. A at Philadelphia, has asaffieatarlly revived Interest In the loudly advertised concessions for the estabitftiment in China of telephone lines, and for a Chinese-American bank, which was to become the promoter of nil sorts of enterprises. These concessions were said lo have been secured by Count Kugene de Mltklewtcx for a syndicate of which Mr.

Wharton Uarker of tho above firm was president. This as In 1887. For some weeks the newspapers were filled with glowing accounts of Ihe enterprise. China was to be "opened up" and "revolution-bed" and much moro of tho same sort, and the openers up were to nske millions. In fact one who listened In those thys to IhegllttetlnK nnd coruscating conversation of the Count nnd saw the endless nrray of "prestnts" which ho had brought track from the Celestial Umpire and gnzod upon the Chinese Knvoy and his suite, all dressed tip In their best suits, could see the very air bristling with untold millions.

If not billions. Colonel Sellers' eye-water was nowhere. And as In the ense of tint fsraous coticuctlon. there was a "missing Ingrtdlcnt" In the Chinese scheme. The untold millions remained untold.

The true story ot tliit attempt has never len ptlnted. Perhaps all the Inside facts never will be known, Sla-gular as It may seem, there never wis any banklug or railroad concession. There was'pknty of talk of such a concession but none was ever granted. A concession good for a specified lime waa made to Mr. Darker and Count Mltklewlez to establish telephone lines In the treaty ports of China.

And a proposition was made looktno- to the 1 all? of concession to JvrTvrker and his associates, but It was never concluded on Ihe part of the Chinese Govirnment. But for the Interference of Kagllsa and German officials In China there Is bo doubt but the banking concessions would have lieeu made and become a law of tbe Chinese Empire. Hut the representatives of England and Germany leatned what Mltklewlez had accomplished before that enterprising gentleman left Shanghai, and before be had reached San Francisco agencies wire at work to rentier his Wbors abortive. The newspapers teemed with scandalous stories of his oast career In this country and In L'urox. In China tbe members of tke Conservative parly were worked on, and tbe Yamen tin ally disapproved of the proposals I.l Hung Chang, Premier of tbe Empire, had made to Mr.

Dsrker and bU associates. TuU practically ceded ihe matter. Li 1 1 unit had sent a representative to this country in tke iwrtoa of Ma Kte Chaos; to cooler with tbe American syndicate. His fiowers, however, were not plenipotentiary. They were simply advisory.

He became sitUlied of tke ability of tke symlicste to carry out its part of tke affair, and so reported, but, as staled, the action of tbe Yaaaea put a stop lotke matter aad Li Hung cabled tke Miai.ter here to suspead tke neg tia-liots. Tkey have been suspended ever since, though a com-tpoitdeuce was kr up with Mr. lUik.tr. Iicimelo attbicg. In the Kieaatitue Mr.

Btrker aad Count Miikietski ijuurdni. Mr. Uarktr insisted that, la vie of the Uiis published about the Count, his usefulates, so far at aay rate a tUI ci'uetry was concerned, wss at au ead, sad he should efface ktaud'. The Count, who tkiists for glory iulta as aiutk as for cash, declined to be effaced. The tekHihosMt coacesoa stood ia the i sau-s j.iaily of Barker and Mltklewlez.
