FAS1 TIMJ } > fACIlOSS THE AT
LANTIC.
The splendid performance of the now
ocean steamship , { Amorica" on her first
trip across the Atlantic is attracting con
siderable attention. She made the trip
in sit days and fifteen hours. This is
unexampled time for a first ocean voyage ,
and the prospects are that she will reduce
this limo by several hours , The
"America's" time is only thrco hours moro
than that of the "Oregon , " also of the
National line , and three hours less than
that of tno fnmoui ' 'Alaska , " of the
Canard line. The "AmoriciV timecon
sidering that it was tniulo on the first
trip , is considered bettor by several hours
than that of the "Oregon. " The average
speed maintained by these throe vessels
during their marvoloua trips is a little
moro than eighteen knots , or
about twenty-one nautical miles ,
almost as fast as an ordinary
railway passenger train travels And jot
it is maintained that the speed of the
ocean steamships has not yet reached its
limit. The London Telegraph publishes -
lishes the prediction that before long a
steam vessel will cross the Atlantic in
little moro than four days and n half.
When wo consider what has already boon
accomplished in increasing the speed of
ocean steamers , wo dhould not bo sur
prised to BOO the time of crossing the At
lantic reduced ono third. Skillful en
gineers on both nides of the Atlantic re
gard this as sure to bo accomplished in
the near future. Indeed , one-half the
speed already reached was sneered at as
the dream of extravagant enthusiasts by
some of the best scientists of the ago a
third of acontury ago , and it ia not un
likely that within the present year thu
"best records"ottho "Oregon , " "Alaoka'1
and "America" may bo beaten by thorn-
solves or by some enterprising competitor
within or without their own linos.
Thcro are other notable features In the
"America" besides her wonderful speed.
While it is conceded that she is now the
fastest steamer afloat , the model upon
which she has boon built diflors materi
ally from that of the other fast steamers ,
in that she has much greater proportion
ate breadth of beam. She is only of
8,500 horse power , with a coal consump
tion of 110 ! tons daily , while her rival ,
the "Oregon , " is a 10,000 horao power
vessel , consuming 337 tons of coal a day.
The "America's" first trip proved that
the day of the narrow-beamed and high
powered steamer is over. It proves that
the expense of operating fast steamers
can bo greatly reduced , which will
enable the owners of steamship lines
to divide their stoamcra into two
classes ono exclusively for passengers
and the other for freight. It has always
hitherto boon suppoKcd that the moro
narrow a vessel was the faster it would
plow through the water , but the " Ame
rica" has proved beyond a doubt that a
narrow beam is not cssentiaLto speed.
The now typo of steamer combines speed
with safety and economy , and it will
create a revolution in the construction of
ocean steamships.
DEATH OF A NOTED JOURNAL-
1ST.
The death of General James Watson
Webb removes a veteran American jour
nalist of moro than ordinary fame. Ho
died at his homo in Now York at the ago
of 83 years. James Watson Webb was
the son of General Simuol B. Webb , of
Wothowfiold , Conn.who served gallantly
in the revolutionary war , and was an
aido-do-carap to Washington. When 17
years old , being unable to obtain his
guardian's consent to his entering the
United States army , young Webb ran
away to Albany , where ho obtained a let
ter of introduction from Governor Do
Witt Clinton to John 0 Oalhoun , then
secretary of war. Then ho wont to Wash
ington , where ho arrived with but throe
dollars in his pocket , and had two inter
views with Mr. C.ilhoun , who at first was
not disposed to grant a commission to a
youth in civil lifo Young \Vobb , how-
uvor , prepared a written statement of his
qualifications , and his claims on account
of his father's Bervicci1 , which convinced
Mr. Calhoun of hia fitness , and the appli
cant was appointed to a second lioutcn-
nacy iu the Fourth Battalion of artillery ,
then stationed on Governor's island. In
1823 ho woo promoted to a first lioutun-
ncy , and two years later was appointed
djutimt of the Third regiment , U. S A.
In 182 ? ho resigned from the army ,
ocoming the principal editor and pro-
rioter of the Now York Morning Conf
er. In 1820 ho bought the , Now York
" "ntjuirer " from M. M. Noah and consoli
dated it with the Courier under the , name
the Courier and Inquirer. The 'lat
er journal became n power in Whig poli
tics , and also acquired a wollt .deserved
reputation for enterprise in obtaining
nowi. At the time when the reports of
ho proceedings of congress on a Monday
did not reach now fork in time for pub-
ication before Thursday General Wtbb
stablisned a daily horse express-with
relays of hones at every six miles , bo-
ween Now York and Washington , ut a
cost of $7,500 a month. Ho was thereby
enabled to publish the reports twenty-
four hours ahead of all competitors. Ho
was ono ot the most enterprising and in
fluential journalists of his day , nnd had a
thorough appreciation of the value of
news. A vigorous and bold writer , he
was a bravo man , and over stood ready to
back up hia opinions according to the
terms of "tho code. " * IIo , was either the
principal or second in several duels. In
1843 he fought a duel with Tom Marshall ,
a Kentucky congressman , who challenged
him on account of an article in the
Courier and Inquire ? , Ho wdundod
Marshal in the knee. Being indicted foi
leaving Now York state to fight a duel ,
ho was convicted and sentenced to twt
years imprisonment ) but was pardoned
by the governor in response to a petition
signed by 17,000 persons' .
General Webb offered his services ai
major-general of volunteers when Iho
rebellion broke out , but ho being offered
a brigadier.generalship ho declined the
appointment. Ho also declined an ap
pointment as Minister to Turkey , but
accepted , in 1801 , the post of Minister to
Brazil , which ho occupied for four years.
General Webb was the author of "Al-
towan , or Adventures in the Rocky
Mountains , " two volumes , published in
181(5 ( , and of "Slavery and Its Tenden
cies , " published in 1850. For many
years ho has taken no part in public
nlFuirs , except occasionally , to write Jotters -
tors to the nowspnpors on political topics.
EVEN Uio Now York J/crald , which is
bitterly opposed to Mr. Ultimo , nskn the
very pertinent question , " Are the demo
crnts competent to govern } " Citing a
long line of stupid blunders in the parsi
monious adjustment of our consular and
diplomatic services , the Now York Thun-
doror answers its own conundrum in
the following fashion :
"Besides this instance of Tan
gier , wo might specify other consulates
which Mr. Randall's bill abolishes , to the
great detriment of the interests of our
country. What is his motive ? Notor
iously it is n more domestic partisan poll
tical motive. It is for the purpose of
arguing in the presidential campaign that
the democratic party is the party of
economy in public expenditures , and
citing a decreased appropriation fore
o insular service in evidence of it.
But tlicro are some economics
which are very expensive in the
long run , and unless the democrats in
congress put a curb on Mr. Randall they
may find that some of ths arguments
with which ho is furnishing them are
boomerangs that will recoil with deadly
effect against their party. The main ob
stacles the democrats have to overcome
in order to win the next congress and the
presidency is the doubt whether they are
competent to govern , and such messes as
Mr , Randall has made of the naval and
consular appropriation bills do not di
minish that doubt in the mind of any
sensible voter. The sooner Mr. Randall
ia chocked by his democratic associates in
congress from some of his absurdities and
monstrosities which ho is 'stupidly striv
ing to perpetrate in the sacred name of
economy the bettor for the democratic
party's chances in the election. "
GENERAL Ann BuroitD , of Kentucky ,
who committed suictdo at Danville , In
diana , was led to the rash act by the
misfortunes of his f\mily. He had lost
his own fortune , and was greatly de
pressed by reading a newspaper article
on the decadanco of the Buford's , written -
ton in connection with the return of his
brother , Tom Buford , to the Anchorage
asylum. General Buford graduated at
West Point in 1814 , a classmate of Gen
eral Hancock , and was a "plobo" of Gen
eral W. T. Sherman. Ho served in the
rebellion as a confederate officer under
Bragg. Since then ho had devoted him
self to the turf nd was correspondent
and associate editor of several sporting
journals. Two years ago ho professed
religion and made several addresses in
churches that attracted much attention
for their eccentricity.
CONQKE.SS has yet a great deal of Im
portant work to do. The Utah bill , the
postal telegraph bill , the intcr-stato com
merce bill , the bill relating to the gov
ernment debts of the Pacific railroad ,
and the consular and diplomatic bill , are
among the most important measures
awaiting consideration. It is feared ,
however , that owing to the increasing in
terest in the approaching national demo
cratic convention congress will not treat
any bill with the attention that it really
deserves.
Mit. GEOIIQE M. PULLMAN complains
that there are in this country 100 railway

nently correct in his opinion , although
that opinion may bo expressed from in
terested motives. These directors' pal
ace cars cost thousand of dollars , and
are paid for at the expense of the stock
holders of the roads. If railroads would

CUKTIS ON
What Harper's Weekly 8 U1 of the
llckct llcforo It AVasBImle.
Krom Uarpor'g Weekly , May 3.
The movement for the nomination of
Mr. Blaine at Chicago already divides the
republican pjrty as dangerously as that
for the nomination of Gon. Grant divided
it in 1880. The republicans who are
urgintj his nomination cannot bo blind to
the consequences should the nomination
bo mado. They must sou that it would
bo suicidal , because they know , as every
republican knows , multitudes of the
most earnest and intelligent republicans
everywhere m the country who do not
hesitate to say openly that they would
not vote for him , while the secession of
the great bulk of Independent voters
would bo assured , and the grounds of
this resolute and plain-spokon hostility
are perfectly well known to the most ar
dent supporters of the Blaine nomina
tion.
tion.To
To the deep and strong republican pro
test against an action which must neces
sarily jeopardize the election , it is child
ish to icply that the majority , should it
prove to bo such , does not propose to
yield to the minority. It is fur from
clear , indeed , that the majority will
desire the Blaine nomination. But even
in thin event that it does so , what then ?
The great object is , not to obtain a nom
ination , but to secure an election. The
fair and obvious probabilities of the elec
tion are as much to bo regarded as the
possibility of carrying the nomination. If
a largo body of republicans declare that
they could not support a certain nomina
tion , it may bo true that they take a
ground which makes party organization
and action impossible , and that they
ought not as party men to refuse to
accept the decision of the party majority.
But it is equally true that without their
votes success is impossible. There is no
use in wasting time and breath in swear
ing at such impracticability. A nomina
ting convention should deal practically
with the situation and ask whether , if
certain nominations are sure to convulse
and divide the party and hazard the re
sult , there are not other candidates who
would heal all'tho differences , and whom
every man who would support the re
publican nomination at all would willing
ly sustain. ' ' *
The extreme danger of the Blaine
nomination would lie in the immediate
and final alienation of independent re
publicans and of independents. This
would bo duo to various causes , and
among them to the fact that they hold
Mr. Blaine to bo a representative oj
hose methods in politics which are ono
if the great ovila to bo corrected , and to-
cause ho is wholly unknown to them on a
friend of reform. His nomination would
bo accepted by them as the deliberate de
cision of the republican party to make
Mr. Blaine its representative man. This ,
in turn , would bo regarded as an aban
donment of reform and of purer politics ,
and it would unquestionably pereuado a
great many voters who have been always
imong the most strenuous and intclli-
; cnt republicans that the time had como
o acquiesce in republican defeat and dia-
ntrgration in order to forcba reconstruc-
ion of parties upon actual living issues.
A nomination which would not have th significance
ignificanco would hold them fast in the
party. Sincerely desirious as wo nro of
continued republican control of the gov
ernment , wo submit to those republicans
who are dcsirious of securing the nomi
nation of Mr. Blaine that the first duty
of republicans is to select acandidato who
does not aland for a violent and hopelois
difference within the party , but whom
e\ciy republican and independent voter
would willingly support , and who thoro-
"oro would bo elected.

Some of us had miserable coats , and oth

us were Johnny robs , and colored men

up by seeing those penplo enjoying good
coats and shoos , while wo wore in such a
great need , but orders about taking property
orty from non-combattants were very
strict. Some of us wo t to Jack Logan

Boys , ' said the General , 'you know the
orders as well as I do , and if I were in

who wore better clothes and shoes than I
I shouldn't rob him. That would be

TWO TUHUinrTS
Dctalln oftlio Match Between Duncan
O. HORH niul Mntftadn Sornk-
iulu.
New York Sun.
About five hundred sporting men
gatthored in Irving hall last evening to
see a mixed wrestling match between
Duncan 0. lloss , thu Scotch atholote , and
Mntsadft Sorakichl , the Japanese wrest
ler. The conditions were bast three in
five , thrco bouts in Japanese style , and
two catch-as-catch can. Purse $500. HOBS
was to receive § 500 whether ho won or
lost. They had engaged in desperate
bouts in Cleveland and Washington.
Matsada had broke ono of Rosa' ribs , and
Ross had butted the Jap with such force
as to injure him internally. JUaUadnh
recuperated in the Bellevue hospital , and
was pronounced in sound health. ROBS
said thnt ho himself was as strong as over.
Capt. Daly was umpire for Roaa , and W.
II. Harding for Matsada. ALT. Edward
Mallfthan was chosen referee.
The mon appeared on the twenty-foot
square platform at 8:55. : lloss was a
picture of muscular beauty. Ho is several
inches tailor than the Jap and thirty
pounds heavier. His skin was rosy with
health. The Jap was darker , and at
least twenty pounds lighter than when
ho wrestled hero last winter.
They grappled at 0 o'clock in what
proved to bo the fiercest bout over seen
in Now York at catch-as-catch-can. lloss
was the stronger of the two. But the
Jap proved wiry and tough and lasting.
Ho WDA as supple as a catamount. Ross
clutchhod the Jap with strong neck holds ,
body holds , and leg holds. Ho throw
him ( . score of times. Once , in a twink
ling , ho had the Jap's shoulders and one
hip ono the lloor. Only a few whoso
eyes were below the level of the platform ,
saw it. They shouted : "A falll" Con
fusion filled the hall. The claim was not
allowed. At it the wrestlers wont again.
Ross throw the Jap on the back of his
head several times. But the Jap squirm
ed and twisted so strongly that ho saved
himself each timo. Twice Ross pushed
Matsada off the platform. Once the Jap ,
in forcing ROBS' head back slapped his
face sharply. Ross returned the slap
with anger , and throw the Jau viciously.
Still it was no fall. At ono time Ross
bad the Jap's right arm twisted up over
his ( the Jap's ) back. Ho grasped it with
botn hands. A brute in the crowd
shouted : "Break it Ross ? " Hisses ana
yells , and cries of "Put him out , " arose.
Ross released his grip.
After a struggle of fifty-threo minutes
Ross gut a firm neck and leg hold on his
opponent , throwing him like a log , and
winning the first fail.
After a rest of fifteen minutes , the
mon engaged in a Japanese bout , the
rules of which gave the man a fall that
first succeeded in getting any part of his
opponent's limbs or body on the plat
form. Inside of ono minute , while Ross
was bonding forward , the Jap sprang on
him and pulled him down so that Ill's
right hand touched the canvas. Each had
now ono fall.
At 10:20 : they grappled in the second
catch-as-catch-can. Both were active as
cats , and each strong as a lion. Ross
had the Jap down inside of two min
utes ; but the swarthy wrestler squirmed
out of the grip and regained his feot.
Again ho was thrown near the edge of
the platform. Before Ross could press
his opponent's shoulders and hip to the
platform the Jap slid off to the floor
four foot below. The crowd laughed
heartily at this trick. Remounting the
platform , ho faced Ross again , and was
soon thrown partly on his back. Ross
got his terrible shoulder and leg grapple
on the Jap , turned him over , and gained
the fall in eight minutes from the begin
ning of the bout. This made two falls
forRnaa.
Ross hopped up the steps to the plat
form for the fourth bout , Japanese style ,
as fresh aa Sullivan at the beginning of a
boxing bout , Matsada mounted the steps ,
wrapped in a richly embroidered Japanese
gown , with the dignity of a foreign am
bassador. Slipping oil the gown ho tackled
Rosa in an instant. Each bent forward
with their heads together , and each had
his arms clasped over the other's bare
back. It was a hug to see which would
bring his man to his knees first. Ross'
superior strength prevailed , and in quick
