WOODEN WAR VESSELS PLAYED OUT
WASHrxGTOK', Dec. 1. Commodore
Theodore Wilson, Chief of the Bureau of
Construction, in his annual report to the
Secretary of the Navy recommends that the
Galena bo sold, as useless to the Govern
ment and a source ot expense.
Of the single turret monitors now in the
.lames river, the report says that they
should be repaired or sold. For a compara
tivelv moderate sum they can be made use
ful adjuncts to "whatever other means the
country may possess of repelling an enemy,
their shallow draft rendering them especi
ally adaptable for service in the smaller
harbors of our own coast, which sea-going
armored vessels of modern design can't enter
on account of their great draft, and where,
consequently, they would only be exposed
to the attacks of unarmored cruisers.
Tho "Wooden Navy's Iav Is 0er.
Touching the old wooden navy the report
sa s: "These vessels are rapidly disappear
ing from active service. Only 12 are now
available for cruising purposes, and they
within five or six years will be mustered
out."
Stress is laid upon the significance of the
contract made tor the construction of tor
pedo boat No. 2, with the Iowa Iron Worts,
s it indicates the po.-sibility of building
these valuable craft at safe inland points.
The report states that contracts have
already been made for 11,210 tons of' the
15,915 tons of aimor required for the vessels
now buildine.
Attention is called to the fact that with
the advent of modern steel vessels, comes a
pressing necessity for a large increase in
the machine departments of the navy yards
to make the unavoidable repairs, if "they
are to be expeditiously and economically
made. To this end appropriations are recom
mended as follows: 525,000 for the Ports
mouth, ". H., Navv Yard; $150,000 for the
New York Navy "Yard: ?44,000 for the
League Iland, Pa., Navy Yard; 548,000 for
Norfolk, Va., Navy Yard, and 5100,000 for
the JIare Island, Cal., Navy Yard.
Need of Sheathing Steel Crnisers.
Seizing the opportunity afforded by the
unfortunate experience of our steel cruisers
in Chilean waters, the report treats at
length of the necessity for sheathing the
bottoms of steel vessels. It says:
The importance of the preservation of the
bottoms of steel vessels from corrosion and
fouilng can hardly bo over-estimated, and is
continually emphasized by the reports ot
loss of speed and increased consumption of
coal received Irom our new unsheathed
steel vessels now in commission. Un'ess , e
are willing to admit that the role of our
cruisers in time of war shall be entirely con
fined to cruises of snoit duration in the
neighborhood of of our own ports it would
appear that they are deficient in a most
important quality, namely, the ability to
maintain highspeed at sea for long periods
of time.
Reference is made bv the valuable data
bearing on this subject collected by Naval
Constructor Philip Hichborn, and an earn
est recommendation is made that Congress
adopt his conclusions, summarized as
follows:
1. All cruising vessels intended for general
f-ervice in foreign wateis should be sheathed
if above 1,000 tons displacement
2. Vessels of less than 1,000 tons displace
ment, intended forgeneral service as cruis
ing gunboats, etc., should be of composite
construction, iz; with steel framing, wood
in:side, planking and copper sheating.
Figures are given to show that Great
Britain has adopted these ideas in new con
struction, that 78 per cent of it is to be
sheathed, and that all of the gunboats built
since 1886 are of composite construction,
enabling them to keep at sea for long
periods without docking.
"Where Candidates for the Navj rait
Washington-, Dec 1. In his annual
report to the Secretary of the Navy, Com
modore Itamsey, Chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, demotes much attention to the
Naval Academy. He saj s a large number
of candidates, for admission to the Naval
Academy fail to pass the required mental
examination. It is belieed that this is
chiefly due to want of proper instruction
andoi time for preparation.
LIABS ABE0AD IN BEcZIL.
Government Dispatches Flatly Contradict
Humors f Trouble In the outli.
Loxdox, Dec L The advices from
Brazil regarding the situation in Bio Grande
do Sul are of such an extremely conflicting
character that it is impossible to conceive
the true situation there A dispatch was
received here from the Brazilian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, stating that immediately
on the restoration of the legal Government
of the State .after the exposition of the
Dictator, Da Fonseca, the insurgents laid
down their arms. The Foreign Minister's
dispatch further says that Senhor Ferdinand
Lobo, who was sent to the State of Bio
Grande do Sul as representative of the
Government has been satisfactorily re
ceived bv the people.
The dispatch does not agree with the
statement telegraphed yesterday that the
people of Rio Grande do Sul had refused to
obey the orders sent from Bio Janeiro, in
structing the authorities to restore Govern
nor Castilbos to office; that the National
Guard had been mobilized, that the great
est excitement prevailed and that a serious
outcome was looked for. Brazilian dis
patches are evidently colored by the wishes
of the senders.

Martin C Barthel and Martin H. I:.
Barthcl, father and son. two of its most
trusted employes, are short in their ac
counts. Martin H. B. received an order for
certain publications which he filled in, but
neglected to turn over the cash, which
brought about an investigation revealing
the fact that the peculations of .both were
large
The falsification of the books has been
going on for a number of years. Martin C.

the investigation has been" progressing he
has been absent On his return he at first
denied the charges, but afterward broke
down and admitted his guilt, turning over

The son has disappeared and no trace of
him can be found. The officers of the com
pany say that the property turned over
more than secures the present defalcation.

FISH CUXTUBE IN CANADA.
Most Satisfactory Results or tho Season's
Operations Up North.
Ottawa, Ontario, Dec. 1. Fish
culture has now reached a most Important
stage in Canada, and every year millions of
eggs 4re gathered from the haunts of the
various fish and artificially hatched in
Government breeding houses. In the fall
oFthc year the collectors go out to the
spawning boats and carefully gather the ova
which have been deposited there. The ova
are placed in cans specially prepared and
conveyed to the hatchery, where they are
piacea in tne natcnery trougns. Uhe hsli
breeding operations are nearly over for the
season ana the returns received by Mr.Wil
mot, Government Superintendent of Hatch
eries, are stated to be very satisfactory.
The officers at inanv of the stations have
made their returns for last season.
At the hatchery at St John's river, N.
B., 2,000,000 salmon ova have been collected,
at Gasp hatchery 800,000, at Miramashi
hatchery 1,200,000, while the collecting is
still going on at the Tadousac, Bedford and
Sydney hatcheries, on the Atlantic. Eraser
river hatchery leads the list on the Pacific
coast -with some 7,000,000 salmon ova col
lected. At Newcastle, the par
ent house, an immense number
of salmon-trout eggs have been col
lected and the officers are still engaged
in collecting more. As usual, Ottawa will
be supplied from Newcastle. Speckled
trout eggs will be imported and hatched out
in various places. Of these the supply
never equals the demand, it apparently be
ing impossible .to obtain sufficient of these
delightful fish. "The importance of artificial
hatching can be gathered by the oue fact
that by placing 2,000,000 salmon yearly in
the Sacramento River, California, the
catch there has been increased from
3,000,000 to 15,0000,000 pounds annually.
LIKELY TO GET A DIV0ECK.
Report of the Commissioner In the Famous
Guerrero Case.
Philadelphia, Dec 1. Special
The divorce suit of Mrs. Henrietta A.
Guerrero; nee Potter, of this city, is now
before Judges Fell and Pcnnypacker, the
master of the case, Effingham B. Morris,
having made his report to the Court recom
mending that the Judges grant the decree
asked for. A rule for a final decree to de
clare the divorce absolute, taken out by
Carroll B. Williams, counsel for Mrs.
Guerrero, will be heard by the Judges of
Common Pleas Court No. 2 Monday next.
Mrs. Gubrrero is the 'daughter of Henry
C. Potter, a well-known coffee importer of
this city, who is also Consul for Nicaragua
at this port She was born and reared in
the famous old Joseph Bonaparte mansion,
where her father's family have lived ever
since Iving Joseph left its famous frescoed
walh to take tip his residence at Borden
town. It was here that she met young
Guerrero in 1873. Guerrero was the son of
a wealthv Spanish planter of pure Hidalgo
blood. Like many others of the young
aristocrats sent here from Central America,
he was under the care of Consul Potter,
though none of them were ever inmates of
his house. Mr. Guerrero is now the wealthy
owner of a large coffee plantation near
Grenada The ground of the divorce is
Guerrero's relations with Amelia Palma,
whom, it is alleged, he has maintained for
years.
ST0DDABD STILL IN BUSINESS.
A Celebrated Forger "Whoso Fertile Drain
Work Cannot Be Repressed.
New Yokk, Dec L Special When
Detective.Morris, of Jersey City, captured
the now celebrated forger, Ed jrard L. Stod
dard, and he was subsequently taken to the
jail in that citv, it was supposed that Stod
dard would be obliged to suspend business
for a time Ue is still carrying on business.
It is believed that Stoddard is the author of
the letters sent out in the name of Winnie
Davis, Jefferson Davis" daughter, with the
intention of swindling Gtneral Beauregard
and other men in the South.
A week or two ago Stoddard sent two let
ters to Demopolis, Ala., under cover to
6ome friend there, who mailed them o
New York. The forged letters were ad
dressed, one to Dr. William M. Polk, and
the other to his sister.Mrs. H. L. Deas. The
name of C B. Whitfield, a wealthy planter
in Demopolis, was signed to each letter,
and each contained a check for 51,600 with
Mr. Whitfield's name attached. In each
case the recipient was asked to give the
forger this money for the sake of an old
friend who wanted to reform the young
man. Mr. Whitfield was communicated
with, and the attempted deception becamo
apparent Stoddard himself wrote to the
Nen York parties advising them as to the
waj in which to bring the money.
KANY PASSENGERS IN PEBIL.
An Express Train Crashes Into a Local on
the New York Central.
Tarkytown, N. Y., Dec 1. At 7
o'clock to-night the Chicago express came
along at full speed, and before the engineer
could stop the traiu it crashed into a Cro
ton local train standing on the track in
front of the station of the New" York Cen
tral at this place. Fortunately no one of
the many passengers was seriously hurt
The cars of the local train, consisting of
two passenger coaches and a compartment
car, were telescoped and the locomotives
were badly wrecked. The passengers in
the local train were warned and had barely
time to get out of the cars when the crash
came
It is said that the local was behind time,
but a system of block signals which were in
operation along the road should have pre
vented the accident The engineer of the
express said that he did not see the tail
lights of the local until it was too late to
reverse the engine The wrecked locomo
tives and cars were piled up in front of the
depot for several hours. The total damage
will amount to $30,000.

New York, Dec 1. Special Jeweler
Ephraim Grinspan was the victim to-day of
a gold dust gang. He gave ?3,100 and a
check for 1000, dated ahead, for a bag
which he believed contained gold dust.
When he reached his place of business he
found the bag contained nothing bnt brass
filling.
All the swindlers but two were captured.
Those arrested are Nathan Wendel, his
wife Bessie, his two sous, Jacob and Samuel,
and Annie Kemsberg. Grinspan did not
quite understand how he had been cheated.
It was an old game, however. The top of
the dish was lined with gold, but on his
way from his house to the store the gold
had worked to the bottom of the bag.

Four Million AMe-Bodied Men Tinder the
Banner of the flebels.
TIIE THREE PROYIffCES INTERESTED
rsrECIAL TEI.EORAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1
New York, Dec L The Hongkong,
Chinese newspaper, Swtn Tc Mo, of October
22, said:
Trouble is brewing in tho North. It will
be -remembered that General Low Tee, tho
famous black flag general of Tonquln
Fianco celebrity, was some time ago pro
moted to the Generalissimo of the armies of
the North by the Pekin Government, where
he subsequently plotted for the downfall of
tho present dynasty. His agents have suc
ceeded so well that the entire population of
Manchuiia, Chinese and natives, have
Joined under his standard of revolt, and aie
even now making ready to march upon the
capital at Fekin. Tho revolutionists num
ber at least 4,000,000 able-bodied men. It Is
said that no part of the Imperial army at
piesent upon the field is capable of meeting
this emergency.
The best and latest information concern
ing the three provinces which compose
Manchuria is to be found in the "Long
White Mountain," in which Mr. James
recorded the results of a journey through
the country several years ago.
Curious Facts About Manchuria.
One is that the Manchus are not very
numerous, particularly in the lower part of
the country. They seem to have been
gradually drained off in great numbers to
China proper, while their places have been
taken by emigrants from the Chinese pro
vince of Shan-TJng and Chihli. So the peo
ple who have been reported as feeding and
encouraging the rebels on their march
toward Pekin are in large part natives of
China, who have emigrated to the fertile
valleys of Manchuria.
Manchuria is divided into three districts
the province of Liau-Tung in the south,
Kirwic in the center, and Helung-Kiang
in the north. Liau-Tung is more generally
known as Fengtien, or "Heaven-Ordained,"
which means that this region was ordained
by Heaven to be the source of the present
ruling dynasty. Fengtien is densely popu
lated, and is computed to contain 12,000,000
to 13,0QO,000 people. Kirwin contains
probably 8,000.000, and Tsitsibaa 2,000,000.
Only the province nearest to China has
yet been permitted to have a Governor
General. The Governors of the other dis
tricts are subordinate to the Governor
General of Fengtien.
One Province Eons; Partly Civilized.
This latter province joins the Province of
Chihli, in which Jfekin itselt is situated,
and has always been comparatively civil
ized. For centuries it was subject to Corea,
then a warlike and powerful State; but
since the eighth century, except during one
brief interval, it has been incorporated with
China. The other two provincei did not
com; unde." the direct control of
Peiin till 1644, when the Man
chis conquered the Chinese em
pire. These two northern provinces
were reserved until comparatively recent
times, partly as a nursery for Tartar sol
diers, but mainly as a place for the trans
portation' of criminals, and it i3 only since
1820 that colonists have been permitted to
settle there It is still, used as a kind of
Botanv Bay not only for criminals, bnt for
all ill-behaved Mandarins. In consequence,
the country swarms with a multitude of
evil Chinese characters, who probably have
much to do with fomenting the present dis
turbances. While everybody knows that Manchuria
is the cradle of the existing dynasty of
China, it is not equally well known that
China has been conquered twice before by
Tartars from this regioi. During six ouc
of the last nine centuries China, or at least
the Northern part or it, has been ruled by
foreigners.
Jost Like All Oriental Monarchies.
Mr. James says that the history of China
iB the history ot most Oriental monarchies
a powerful tribe undera powerful head con
quers the country, and for one or two gen
erations rules it wisely and firm! v. Gradu
ally luxury creeps into the court.
The Princes become dissolute
and effete The administration falls
into the state of degradation and inefficiency,
and then the collapse of the dynasty is only
a matter of time. Not a few writers upon
China at the present day assert that the
Government of China is in this condition
now. It has been asserted for some years
that the central power was effeminate, weak
and unprogressive to a degree which dis
gusted intelligent Chinese, and that palace
intrigues, jealousies and ambitions, in which
some of the court 'women took a large part,
have had far more to do with shaping the
Highest of all in Leavening Power.

MILLIONS IN THE TBEASTJBY.
More Money in Pennsylvania's General
Fund Than Ever Before.
Harrisburo, Dec 1. Special State
Treasurer Boyer's monthly report, issued
. to-day, shows' ?5,720,721 80 in the general
fund, as against ?5,389,1T7 60 last month.
This is probably the greatest amount ever
in the general fund of this State, and would
have been larger had not the expenses of
the extraordinary session of the Senate,
amounting to nearly $50,000, been paid dur
ing the month. The bill for printing the
proceedings of the extra session, which
were very voluminous, has not yet been
rendered, but will undoubtedly amount to
several thousand dollars.
The cash in the sinking fund has been
reduced during the month from $2,780,
537 75 to S1.259.12J 75. the difference. 5521,-
414, having been expended in purchasing
the bonds due next February. Notwith
standing that the State agrees to pay the
interest on the bonds until February next,
only one-half have been presented for liqui
dation. About $1,500,000 is still outstand
ing. This is considered evidence that money
is easy for this time of year. It is expected
that the need of money to meet January
settlements will bring the bonds in faster
this month. The gross debt of the State is
now about $10,000,000, the net or actual
debt being $3,000,000, a decrease of $2,144,
675 87 since May last.
A NATIONAL LEPEB HOSPITAL
Recommended In the Report of the Marine
Hospital Surneon General.
Washington, Dec 1. Walter Wy
man, Supervising Surgeon General of the
Marine Hospital Service, in his annual re
port to the Secretary of the Treasury, states
that 52,992 sailors were treated in the
various marine hospitals and dispensaries
of the service during the fiscal year 189L
One thousand three hundred and thirty
three surfmen and keepers, of the Life-Saving
Service, were examined physically, of
which number 59 were rejected lor disease
or disability; 1,082 pilots were examined
for blindness, of which 29 were rejected.
Two hundred and forty-three seamen were
examined as a prerequisite to their enlist
ment in the Kevenue Marine Service and 38
rejected.
The Surgeon General calls attention to
the prevalence of leprosy, particularly in
the neighborhood of the West Indies and
South America, and to the presence of the
disease in various cities and localities of the
United State, and states that cases may be
allowed to exist undisturbed in some locali
ties by thei health authorities because no
provision is made for their segration.
Whatever theories may be advanced regard
ing the contagiousness of the disease, there
is no doubt that where indifference is mani
fested as to isolation it slowly spreads, and
as no State possesses a leper hospital, the
establishment of a national leper hospital is
recommended.
DEATH OF NELSON DECKER
Tho Actor's Attempt to Tak His Own Life
Not a Failure.
Philadelphia, Dec 1. Special
William Nelson Decker, the well-known
actor who made an attempt on his life,
AVednesday last, at the Edwin Forrest
Home, died at 1:30 o'clock this morning. A
sensation was aroused at the home last
Wednesday by the discovery of Decker
lying in a pool of blood on the floor of his
room shortly after the breakfast hour. A
razor was found near him, with which he had
inflicted terrible gashes in his throat and
wrists. The discovery and the prompt sum
moning ot physicians restored him tempor
arily, but death was only a question of time.
The cause of Decker's misfortunes in the
first place was a severe attack of nervous
prostration which brought on a partial
paralysis of the functions of speech. He
became unable to articulate distinctly. This
was his growing misfortune and subjected
him to spells of despondency, from wluch.be,
was scarcely at any time free. Decker was
admitted to the Forrest Home last Septem
ber. His mother and sister were with him
in his last hours. They were notified of
his condition,, and came on immediately
from New York. The funeral will take
place from the Forrest Home at 9 o'clock
Thursday morning.

officers decline to furnish the document for
publication, but it is known that in -it the
prisoner confesses t killing his brother
with a pistol. He says he did it alone and
unaided, and that the crime was committed
in the State of Maine,, where there is no
capital punishment. The papers in the
case were submitted to Judge Chase, of the
Supreme Court, this morning, and he at
once transferred them to the full bench for
action.

in protection to your China, and

the possession of China which
is impossible now.
Your China without a closet
is like a fine painting with 410

can never be seen, and it is in
constant danger from its un
protected condition.
Not until you investigate our
prices will you have any idea
how cheap our fine China Cab
inets and Dining Room Furni
ture are. Our assortment is
the largest and finest ever
shown by us.
