Washington, Nor. 13. Commodore Philip Hichborn, oliiof of the bureau of construction aud repair ot the navy. ha completed hi report of the year. The report includes estimate for sp propriatiou for next year, the moat importaut being fQ,0DU,fi4l), to be ex pended on vciweli authorized by 0011- irrea for the increae ot the urtv. He Nino aak tor 11,500,000 for the general repair of vuasol and purobane of atore aud machinery; 5as,000 for the con tinnauoo of work already authorized on the Hartford, the Chicago and other vewMjln, aud 1000,000 for two oompoaite aailing vowels. He dwell epeoially upon the neoemity of adequate money for the repair of Tesnels, covering mod ern steel ihips, with their extreme sub divlHlou and elaborate syitom of ven tilation, drainage aud meobaulnal auxll iarimof all kind. They require muoh greater cure, both when in oommiMion aud lu ordiuary tlian wa formerly the case with the old wooden ihips. it ii more than nine yeara ainoe the flrnt veaael of the new navy wa put in coinmiaalon, aud the neeewity for geu ral repair and renewal of fitting and equipments is becoming more aud more preimlng. The policy of extreme economy has about reaohod its limit, aud unless more ample appropriations aro mado for the care aud preservation of ships and the general maintenance of the yard plants, ' the efficiency ot the fleet will be diminished and the government property will suffer serious deterioration. Commodore Hichborn notes the com pletion and aoooptanoe during the year of the Mnrbluhead, Columbia, Olympia and Hiuunapolis; gives the status of other vessels almost oompleted, snd also statos the fact in connection with contracts receutly let and specifications made uudur the authority ot the last naval appropriation bill. He suggests the importance of appropirations suf ficient to put the navy yard plants at Portsmouth, N. H. , Boston, New York, l League inland, Norfolk aud Mare isl ud in oonditiun to meet the demands of the immediate future. He thinks 9125,000 necessary at Norfolk; $76, OOO.at New York and $70,000 at Mare inland. He also renews the recom mendation of last year tor the ap propriation of $76,000 for eaob of the new station at Port Royal aud Puget sound. This money is, he says, neoes sary to equip the stations with tools so as to enable them to oover the ordinary repair work. Probably, the most important part of the report is that devoted to the neces sity of inoreased drydook facilities. Mr. Hichborn notes the fact that there was no dock in the country sufficiently large to dock the Indiana preliminary to her trial trip. for Th.jr favor Astir. Preparation War A 1111.1 Kngiand. Washington. Nov. 13. The first in formation of the excited publio feeling in veneznela, resulting from British demands, resohed here today by Cara cas papers to November 1. The ore- vailing sentiment is for immediate war preparations, although some conserve tlve Journal advocate moderation ibe British ultimatum had not been reoeived, but the publication of its subHtanoe has aroused some patriotism. Diaro do Caraoas, the semi-offloial government organ, says: "In ease an emergency arises and the government of Venezuela is obliged to resort to arms, the English will be expelled irom tne disputed territory. The pub lio may rest assured it will only be neotssary for the government to seud telegraphic dispatch to the frontier in order to have this expulsion carried out" ', El Tiompo, conservative, publishes a leader "on the defense of Guiana " in which it urgos upon the government cne lmmediato dispatching of 1,000 Venezuelan troops to the frontier, in order to be ready at any time to take possession of the territory and hold it, it the English make any move forward. A tabulated statement is made of the military foroe requisite. El Tierapo also urges the establish mout of military colonies along the frontier. These would draw Venezue lans and would provide force avail able to resist English euoroaohment. It adds: The defense against England is a national obligation. The reports from Loudon show that England proposes to use foroe. Veneznela has done muoh toward gettiug ready, but she has not yet done enough. " A strong appeal to patriotic senti ment is made. It is pointed out that the Argentine Republic won a war against Groat Britain, and that Mexico won against combination of France, England and Spain. The paper asserts that a people who abandon their rights should perish from the earth. AMERICAN VESSEL SEARCHED GlIIGaCENSisOPAYS 11 Ifyoil uw the rWalau lucub.tor.

Tho Main Point of Mr. Jonaa" Annual Itaport for tho Laat Flaral Year. Washington, Nov, 13. First Assist ant Postmaster-General Frank M. Jones has isiued his annual report for the year ended June 80, 1S95. Mr. Jones show that the division under bis supervision have saved, during the year, $1,805,677, the prinoipal items being in the saving in the oarriers by stopping overtime, and a 'reduction of foroe amounting to $1,800,000. The salaries of all presidential postmasters amounting to $6,807,300, and the gross rooolnts of postoffioos $00,688,007. The number of presidential postmasters is 8,401, of which 169 are nrst class, 700. seoond class, 3,083 third class. An estimate of $17,000,000 for all postmasters is made for the year 1897, an increase over the present year of $1,000,000. . . . The total number or positions brounht within the classified service was 3,806. Mr. Jones recommends the abolition of experimental free delivery, unless $1,000,000 is appropriated for the pur- oose: also free rural delivery, unless $30,000,000 is appropriated. Of the investigation and disc barge of oarriers for cause, Mr. Jones says 885 oarriers have been removed. He reviews the conditions which made the investigations ueoessary, the principal one belnst the accumulation of over time olaims, showing that something was wromt. The work has been sys. tematloally proseoutod during the past eight months, and the carriers at 101 offloe have been investigated. An estimate of $13,060,000 is made for the free delivory servioe next year. I The mouev order report show that there are 10,601 domestic. money order offices, and orders to the amount of 168,700,089 were issued, , and $156, 150,680 paid. Mr. Jones recommends legislation requiring olorks handling money order business to give bonds Concerning dead letter matter, the re port says: "The number of pieces of original mail matter reoeived during the year for treatment was 6,810,878, a de crease of 81,171." Mr. Jones renews several recom mendations made in his last report, such as a penalty for using postmark for unlawful purposes; to prevent boy ootting postoffloes; to amend the rank ing laws; more stringent legislation against obsoene mail matter; the power to suspend employes; the em ployment ot temporary aud substitute olerks; on re or disabled employes; tht better classification of salaries foi olerks in larger offices and the employ 1 maul of substitute oarriers. Th. Brig Harriet O. Overhauled by Spaniards In Cuba. New York, Nov. 13. The Amerioan brig Harriet G. arrived at quarantine today from Nuevitas. Cuba. The Har iet O. is owned by Mosle Bros., of this ; city, and trades regularly between New t York and Nuevitas. She sailod from this port August 39 last, and reached Nuevitas September 19, where she dis charged her cargo. October 3 a Span ish officer, with several soldiers, board ed the brig and made a thorough search tor a large quantity of arms which the Spanish officials had been informed were on board the vessel. Tbe brig was ransacked from stem to stern, but no arms were found. The Spsnish offioers went so far as to demand that Captain Miller remove, from below all his anchor chains. This tbe oaptain refused to do, and the offioers were re-1 luctantly foroed to leave the vessel, j Tbe United States oonsul was on board , at tbe time, but could do nothing. Captain Miller will report tbe search of his vensel to the authorities at Washington. There was on board a young Cuban passenger, Gustav Torre, who said he wa so persecuted by the Spanish au thorities that he was oompelled to leave the island and come to the United States.

The United States Plumbers' Association of the United States and Canada baa sanc tioned movement which, probably, will result in a stubborn fight between the master plumber and journeymen of Pittsburg and Allegheny. The plumber's union today adopted resolu tions demanding from their employers an advanoe in wages of 10 per oeut, to take effect at 7 o'clock tomorrow morn ing. The members have been instruct ed to report for work in the morning, present their demands, and, if not con ceded, to refuse to work.

The Iowa iron works has shipped the new ma chinery for the torpedo boat Erioofon, and the trial trip will be held this month on Long Island sound, should the weather permit. : On the trial trip last fall a piston-rod was pulled out and a ovlinder-head smashed. It was then supposed that the key of the pis ton rod had broken. On the second trial last summer a similar aooident ooourred, causing the death of three men, and it was then oonolnded that the ovlinder-head was too light This defect has been remedied in the new engine. In the Plrat Degree. Seattle, Nov. 13. The trial of John and James MoCann and their father, Michael, for the murder of Joseph Cic ero last August, came to an end today, with a verdiot of murder in the first degree for the boys and an acquittal for the father. Tbe case lasted tnrougn an entire wees, ana was omeny fought. The motion for a new trial will be based on alleged error in ad mitting as evidenoe sgainst the sons statements made by the old man before the killing and not in the presenoe of his sons.

About 6,000 cases of first-class fish were paoked, no red salmon" or chums being put up. Tbe storage at the Coburg warehouse this season is as follows: 18,000 bush els of white wheat, 13,000 bushels of red wheat, aud 4,000 bushels of oats. Over 3,000 bushels of feed was chop ped. Tbe Montana group of mines in the Greenhorn d is trio t, owned by E. L. Giroux and B. W. Leveus, of Baker City, was inspected the other day by a mining eugineer representing a Paris syndicate, with a view to purchasing. Judge Moore, of Spokane, has just decided a "calf case" that has been in litigaton in that oounty for three years. The defendant was given a judgment for the cow, valued at $30, aud for bis costs, which amount to more than $200. There has been muoh oomplaint this season throughout Garfield county, Wash., over tbe scarcity of water for atocL, says the Washingtouian. Tbe oontinued dry spell exhausted the water in many springs that have not failed for years. Tbe Tukanon has shrunken to a small oreek, and many of the smaller streams are dried up. The first creamery and cheese fao tory in Washington was established at Cheney about five years since, says the Cheney Sentinel. Now there are fifty two creameries in the state, a number of whiob make oheese also. The daily output of all is 7,000 pounds of butter and 8,600 pounds of cheese. Judge Lowell had an Indian divorce case before him at Pendleton, Or. , tbe other day.

Six men and two wagons loaded with grain follow to feed the swine on tbe road. When any bogs grow too road worn to travel with the rest, Mr. By bee loads them into a wagon and sells them at the nearest point where pork is in demand. Six oents is what he ob tains for them at Happy Camp. It I. to Be Built by American Con tractor, and Bngll.a Capital. Chicago, Nov. 11. The Evening Post says the Nioaragua oanal is to bt built; thst New York and Loudon capital will foot the bills, and Ameri oan contractors will do tbe work. It is also said Chicago engineers snd arainage canai-oontraotors will have a leading part in the construction. This has been brought about by investiga tion, made by tbe leading spirits in the nioaragua scheme, into the work being carried on similar to tbe $30,000,000 Chicago drainage canal. For months their experts have been investigating this work, and it ia said, as a result, the moving spirits in the Western wcrk have been led to visit tbe Nica ragua leaders in New York. The Post further asserts that for sev eral months certain London financiers, iu oompauy with some New Yorkers, have been looking into the scheme, and have practically decided to back it. Between $70,000,000 and $85,000,000 will be needed, and that amount, says the Post, has been guaranteed. The Post adds that while the deal has not been completed, the negotiations are in a very advanoed stage, and almost on the verge of completion. All at tempts to secure financial aid from this government will be abandoned, and the matter prosecuted as a purely private enterprise. The prinoipal negotiations have been going on, it is stated since the visit of Warner Miller to this city a few weeks ago. No names are given in connection with the plan. President Hitchcock In Waahlngton. Washington, Nov. 1 1. President Hitchcock, who succeeded Warner Mil ler at tbe head of the Nicaragua Canal Company, called at the state depart ment today and saw Assistant Secre tary Uhl. The visit doubtless related to tbe recent report of the government commission which visited the oanal route. NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES. The Net Perce Land..-. Washington, Nov. 13. Tbe presi dent has signed the proclamation open ing the Nes Perce oeded lands to settle ment Novemebr 18. The proclamation recites the provisions of the law and directs that under the regulations is sued by tbe secretary of the interior, the land shall be opened to settlement aooording to tbe terms ot the treaty. The prioe of tbe agricultural lands is fixed at $3.76 per aore, and of timber lands $5 per aore. It ia not anticipated that there will be A great rush for the land. An Amendment to the Civil Service Ap proved by the 1're.ident. Washington, Nov. 11. Tbe presi dent today approved an amendment the civil servioe which will result bringing many postmasters and em ployes within the classified servioe. The amendment is as follows: "And whenever, by order of the postmaster- general, a by-office shall be consoli dated with and made part of any post- office where free delivery is established, all employes of the offioe thus consoli dated whose names appear on the roll of said office, and including the post master thereof, shall, from the date of said order, be employes of the said free delivery office, and the person holding at the date of said order the position of postmaster of the offloe thus consoli dated with said free delivery office may be assigned any position therein and given any appropriate designation under the classification aot which the postmaster-general may direct" It is the intention of the postoffloe department to consolidate many offices. This consolidation will not necessarily do away with the offioes, but establish them as stations of some oentral point It is probble that presidential, as well as fourth-class offices, will be included in the consolidation. . Secretary Morton in his annual re port, it is understood, will dwell at length upon the question ot the exten sion of foreign markets for Amerioan products. He will probably suggest tbe importance of catering to foreign demands, pointing out that in no par ticular product is this country free from competition. . Secretary Smith today sent to the president a draft of tbe proclamation opening tbe Nea Peroes lands ceded to settlement He suggests that the open ing of tbe lands be fixed ten days later than the time at whioh he appends his signature. This will give time for the proclamation to reach the land offioers before tbe lands are open to settlement Secretary Smith has written a letter to E. Ellery Anderson, replying to var ious communications relating to the patenting ot lands to the Union Paoifio Railroad Company. The secretary says that in view of the faot that congress, at its ooming session, will, in all prob ability, take action on the matter, he deems it inadequate at this time to pass on soon matters. News reaches Washington from Cores that a new minister to tbe United States will soon be sent to this country in place ot the late minister, who died from oholera while on leave in Corea. ro Fault of tb. Texas' Bngtne. Washington, Nov. 9. The exami nation of the Texas in drydook at New York has verified the theory of Engi neer-in-Chiet Melville as to tbe cause of her failure to attain ber estimated horse-power, owing to hot oondenseis The mouth of the bilge grating through whioh sea water is pumped to cool these oondensers waa found to be choked with seaweed and a gummy residuum. The grating is 15x31 inohes, and it was stopped, save a hole about eight inohes square in the oenter, thus diminishing the water supply to one sixth of the normal. It is believed now that the obstruction has been removed the engines will easily make their horsepower. Navy Supply Pund. Washington, Nov. 9. In his annual report to the secretary of the navy, Paymaster-General Stuart recommends an inorease in the navy supply fund from $300,000 to $500,000 in tbe inter est of economy, the bureau thereby be ing enabled to keep on hand an ade quate supply of needed material at tbe different yards, purchased after adver tisement, instead of being obliged, as at present, to purchase in open market on urgency applications. It 1. of Special Intere.t to Intending Land Purchaaers. Ulympis, nor. 9. A decision was rendered at today's session of tbe state b iard of land commissioners whioh of muoh interest to intending tide land purchasers. Tbe esse in point is that of Sanderson vs. Winsor, and involves the right to purchase certain tide land in front of tbe oity ot Ballard. As the acts of March 36, 1890 and 1895 de ciare tnat owners oi lands abutting on the tide lands of the first-olass shall have a preference right to apply for purchase of all or any part of tide lands lying in front of lands so owned it is apparent that if the lands in con test lie in front of both applications, neither is entitled to tbe whole, and some means of equitable partition must be found. . The case is peculiar, for there is lack of legal authorities governing like cases. Tbe questions at issue bear chiefly on tbe right of access to a- pub lic waterway across tide flats, snd tbe proportion of the lines of access to the shore line ownership, snd the right to purchase submerged or tide lauds. To find a rule which shall be general has been admitted to be difficult by the highest courts in the land, but after carefully considering the proposition, and investigating all existing rules in similar cases, tbe decision adopts this rule: That tbe line should be extend ed, as nearly as possible at right an gles with the general line, and paral lel to the tide boundary lines of the upland, so as to give each riparian pro prietor as nearly the same width of the waterway line as be holds on tbe shore or general line. In the case of Sanderson vs. Winsor. the decision is to adopt this rule: Divide the distance upon tbe line of the waterway into as many equal por tions as those contained in the general line in front of them, and then draw straight lines from tbe point at which tne boundary lines, between the up lands, when projected, intersect the genearl line to tbe points thus deter mined as points of division. SUPPORT FOR MR. HILL. Chicago Koad. t are Pledged This to the Great Northern. Chicago, Nov. 9. All railroads hav ing headquarters in Chicago have given positive assurances to President Hill, of the Great Northern, that, so far as lies in their power, they will oo- operate with him in defeating the American Railway Union strike now threatened on his road. The informa tion came today from officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul, tbe Burlington, the Illinois Central and the Chicago & Eastern Illionis sys tems. This support of , tbe Great Northern is an outgrowth of the plan pursued by the general managers of Chicago when they were dealing with the stike of last year. Mr. Hill baa engaged a detective agency to furnish him armed guards, and advised the Chicago railroad man agers that his road would employ any railroad man out of work who bad not committed an act of violenoe in Chi cago or elsewhere against a road dur ing tbe strike ot 1894. There are 3,000 of these men in Chicago, at pres ent, whose names were on tbe payrolls of the railroad up to July, 1894. They include engineers, firemen, brakemen and flagmen. Whilo they have been "blacklisted" for : nearly eighteen months, no charge has rested sgainst them but of having simply quit work when tbe strike began. At 17 Monroe street these men were being engaged today and furnished transportation to St PaoL .. eastern stated vote Majority of Them Elect the Republican Ticket DEMOCRATS HATE TWO NTATE.S Kepnbllean.

Republican Plurality In Bo. ton. Boston, Nov. 8. The smoke of the political battle has cleared away, and tonight the leaden of both parties are discussing the result, and from it are already forming plans for next year's work. The Republican leaders are particularly pleased over the gains of Governor Greenhalge in this city, for they claim it shows that, slowly but surely, the people are ooming over to their ranks. .. Ibe Democrats, on the other hand, say they attach no signifi cance to the decreased Democratic plurality in the oity other than that their candidate waa not personally as popular as Russell, tbe candidate ot 1898, aud for proof" of the assertion point to the fact that tbe Democracy gained a senator in Suffolk county, which is practically Boston. The figures ot tbe Associated Press last night placed the plurality con servatively at a little over 63,000, and all of their returns have justified that estimate. The size of the Populist vote in Mas sachusetts will probably be known to morrow. 4 There are indications that there is a falling off..

' Viewed by London Paper. . London, Nov. 8 Tbe Times this morning gives over a column to a New York dispatch regarding tbe election. The other papers have short dispatches on tbe subject of the Marlborough-Van-derbilt wedding. The Times says of the elections: : ,. . "The elections have again surprised Amerioan politicians. The Republi cans were victorious beyond all expec tations. The failure to break Tam many is disoonraging. Such ia the state of Amerioan politics, in the absence of any great issue, that it is impossible to predict the re.ult, ot the presidential election. :. Perhaps the Democrats have the most cause to regret tbe sueoess of Tammany, for some of Tammany's moral discredit is bound to fall upon the Democratic party. " j The Daily- News says: "The elec tions are showing remarkably in favor of tbe Republicans, and the presiden tial seat is all but safe tor the Republi can candidate." .,, The Chronicle (liberal) says: "It is not quite clear that there ia no , real Democratic revival. We regret, -but are not surprised, at the viotory in New York. It carries an important moral for ; our too . extreme : temperance friends." ... ',,:, The Post (conservative) savs: i "The general result confirms the opinion that the reaction against the ' Democrats, whioh wss so eonspiooons last Novem ber, is still la operatlaa." v,ll''
