Pro posals for building the new eruiseis were advertised fur some time ago and appar ently the navy department despairs of receiving bids from any responsible con tractor. Shipbuilders may have taken warning with reason front the treatment which Mr. Roach received ¡it the hands of the secretary. Certainiy they have been alarmed by the stringent condi tions of the circular calling fur propos als. There weie two particulars in which the government’s terms have been unnecessarily rigid and oppressive. Tho contractor’s bonds, involving a po rtal sum equal to one quarter of the bid, mid tlio limitation of tl:e period allowed for construction to eighteen months, have evidently deterred shipbuilders from competing for the vessels. The department, in anticipation of the probable failure of its attempt to have the armored ships built in private ship yards, has instructed the various bu reaus of construction to prepaic designs f ir them. Secretary Whitney perceives that bo will never be allowed by con gress to make contracts with forign ship builders; and, consequently, that the new vessels will have to be built at tin navy yards, if private yards are closed against them. Hit is already making preparations for government shipbuild ing on a large scale.; probably lie is not unmindful of the political advantages to be derived from employing large bodies of workmen in tlio navy yards before and timing the next presidential can vass. This, then, is to be the outcome of Secretary Whitney’s pretentious naval “tefoims.” There is to be a revival of the pernicious system of navy yard con struction, involving an enormous in crease of expenditures and multiplied facilities tor political corruption. Be fore a steel cruiser, armored or unar- niored, can be built at" the government’s yards, a most costly plant must Ite pro cured ; and when the machinery is fur nished,the vessels will b • certain to cost far more than they woul i if built under contract at private yards. Experience lias demonstrated that war vessels can not bo economically built in the navy yards. Secretary Whitney, by making war upon the ship building industry, has closed the private yards against the government and opened tho way for po litical jobbery on a large sealo. The Taylor brothers, who are attract ing considerable attention as republican and democratic candidates for governor of Tennessee, lecently had a falling out, their first disagreement during the cam paign which is described as follows: "At Franklin Bob ridiculed Alt and threw hint off his guard, when Alf in re joinder gaffed Bob to the quick. The circumstance produced a sensation. When Alf got to his hotel 1m sent for Bob. The governor and other friends went with Bob to act as mediator. Alf said: ‘No gentlemen, Bob and I can settlo this.’ They returned to All’s room, anil in five minutes they came out arm in arm, and since then the can vass has been free from tlm slightest as perity. They speak one and a half hours each, with fifteen minutes for a rejoinder.” II. J.

His nephew, IL ■!., was clerking for him in tlm big pork packing establishment of Landers Given & Co., at the time of his defalca tion, and the uncle, is one of the heavi est losers. The secretary of war lias informed the treasury department in regard to the ac tion of the commanding officer of the division of the I’acitie in issuing permits to land liquors in different parts of Alas ka, that hereafter no permits will bo is sued by the war deparment for the in troduction ot liquors into Alaska, for medical, mechanical or scientific pur poses. Tho collector of customs at Sit ka has been notified accordingly, lie is instructed, however, to permit the entry of wines for sacramental use, upon pre sentation of proof that it is intended for no other purpose. Tlio Jewish inhabitants of New York city have been making a tight on the subject of allowing Jewish children who are attending public schools .to be ab sent to observe Jewish holidays without losing their standing. The tight was decided in their favor, is on the 22d in structions were given to all the princi pals of schools to observe that rule hereafter. This will give a practic- a' recognition to the Jewish holidays. Th • Hillsboro Independent’s cvlindor and job presses are now tun by steam.

It is rumored that Michael D.ivitt, the Irish patriot, is about to be married to Miss Yore, an Oakland heiress. Lust Saturday tlm track of the North ern Pacific had been laid to Cleelum, 30 miles west of Ellensburg, where track laying was delayed while the mechanics put up a long trestle. W ashington , D.

There is trouble between tho Postal Telegraph line builders and the section men of the N. I*. R. It. about thirty-five miles from Tacoma on the line of the road. Just as fast as tlie telegraph men dig holes for the posts the section men fill them tip. N ew Y ork , Oct. 25.—Mrs. Cornelia M. Stewart, wife of the late millionaire drv goods merchant, A. T. Stewart, died, suddenly this morning at her residence corner of Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, of congestion of the lungs and heart trouble. Tlm Prohibition Star, which was sus pended a short time ago on account of attachments placed upon it, w ill at once resume publication. The directors met, made Dr. Owens Adair president, lifted the attachments and made arrangements to continue tho paper. Dave Latourette, for many years past night watchmen and special policeman at the dt pot of the O. & C. R. R. in Sa lem, was found dead in his bed, at ti e Chemeteka hotel, Monday morning. He has been ailing since Wednesday last, but bis case was not considered danger ous. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in a mood to be enterprising, printed a fac simile of the new ten* dollar silver certificate. The fine for such an act is $100 under the statue. The Enquirer being in good democratic standing, was not fined, but was ordereil by the government officials to destroy the plate inst<inter. S an F rancisco Oct. 26.—The city passenger agents had a meeting in the, 1‘alaee hotel to-day. They simply or ganized. This afternoon a committee was appointed to draw new articles of agreement. The session will prbably last several days. The people have no faith in their ability to stop the cutting. There was a little excitement on the streets in St. Paul between the Manito- bia and Northern Pacific. A party wanted to go to the Pacific coast and there was quite a fight for them. As a result the Manatobia secured them, but the Northern Pacific says at a very much reduced rate. This is the first gun in what may become a large sized skirmish. On Sunday, about noon, Mr. Hare, who lives about five miles east of Salem on the “John Baker” road, was "fool ing” with a Smith & Wesson revolver, when tlie “blamed thing” went off.— Whether Hare “knew that it was load ed” or not, is not stated. But he found out. So did another voung man named William Brown. The charge passed through Hare’s hand, and into Brown’s left leg.—Statesman. Il now transpires that Clara Foltz, the lady lawyer of California w ho recently delivered a series of lectures tn the dif ferent Willamette valley towns, is imi tating admirably the ways of the wicked men in political affairs. It is said that recently she wrote a letter to the repub licans offering to stump the state for the party for $2,000. Soon after she came out for the democrats, causing the belief that democratic money caused her to es pouse their cause. Tlie story of the loss of 40,OtM) heat! of cattle in Montana, the property of a St. Lottis syndicate, reported in a Walla Walla paper and copied into a great many of tho state papers, is contradict- by the manager of the syndicate. Only about 250 head were lost, a very small per cent, of the great drove which reach ed the range in British Columbia in fair ly good condition. The cattle lost were from Texas and arrived at the rendez vous in poor flesh. The stock collected in Oregon and Washington which start ed in good condition got through w ith out loss. The “Saratoga walk" is said to be the latest fashionable walk for women. One who describe» it says that “the first re quisite is to throw your shoulders back, the chest forward, chin up, and stomach in, ami then walk, wriggling head, limbs, body, and especially bustle. The aim is to secure a series of revolutions which shall b* simultaneous, but oppo site. In simple brevity, if your head moves to the right your hotly must move to the left, and before your foot reaches ground you must describe a curve with your entire limb.

Lot is , Oct. 2ti.—The Adams ex press car attached to passenger train No. 3, on the St. Louis and SanFrancis- co road, which left this city at 8:30 last night, was robbed of over $50,000 in cash between here and I’acitie, Missouri. From meager reports it seems that be fore the train left this eitv a man giving the name of Cummings presented letters io express messenger Frothingham, pur porting to be signed by the officers of the company, stating that Cummings was about to take a run of the line, and ask ing Frothingham to bint the points. When near Meremac the stranger over powered the messenger and gagged ami bound him to the safe, after which he coolly rifled the eare. He cut open the bags containing silver, but took none ol it. At Meremac the robber left the train. The robbery was not discovered until the train reached Pacific, when tiie express car was broken open and Mes senger Frothingham found tied to the safe. Express officials tire reticent, but admit that over $50,000 was taken. The robber is imperfectly described as a tall, dark man of preposessing appear ance, dressed in black, with very large hands and feet. It is a singular coinci dence that he gave the name of Jim Cummings, the only member of the once celebrated James gang who I iub never been accounted for. The stranger who gave the name of Cummings to Frothingham, the ffiessen- ger, presented to hint a cleverly torged letter bearing a perfect fac simile of the signature of Barret Route, local agent of the express company at St. Lottis. The letter stated that Route bad decided to put an extra man on the line; that the bearer was he, and th:.t Frothing ham was directed to leach him the de tails of the business. The stranger was allowed to enter the car and took great interest in all the movements of the messenger, apparently desiring to learn quickly the ins and outs of the duties which lie was expected to perform. The two men busied themselves with the accounts, etc., and all went well un til a point between St. Louis and Paci fic, Mo., was reached. Frothingham was busily engaged over his accounts with his back turned to Cummings. In the course of time it became necessary for him to go to the safe, and, turning to do so, be saw the stranger calmly sitting in his chair with a cocked revolver lev eled at him. Cummings cautiously ap proached the dumbfounded messenger and told him if ho remained quiet and made or raised no alarm he would not be endangered. Frothingham had nothing to do but submit, and tho rob- her hound him hand and foot, pressed a gag into his mouth, tied him to tlie safe so that ho could not move, and pro ceeded with his work. Dispatches a day later say there are absolutely no now facts in the case. No clew has been found to work on, though of course detectives are in charge of the matter.
