The Texas and raclflo through express

Four men did the work. They came upon

taining the money of the Texas nnd raclflo
Coal company. Telling them he could not
do this they seized a pick and ruined the
combination.
The robbers flod southward and no trade
of tbem has been secured. Stewards aggre
gating (1,000 have boeu oflered for their ar
rest. The money secured was taken from the
wuy sale.
There was no attempt by Ihognng to eon
coal their faoea with mask or nnyttilng else.
They resembled Texus ruuger. The robbers
escaped Into the great eatyon, which was

UNRIVALED WARSHIPS.
Melville's Report and Hia Recommenda
tions. The nnnunl report of Commodore Geo. W.
Melvllle.chlef of tho bureau of steam engineer
ing Is interesting from its exhibit of tho ex
cellent progress that has been made during
year In the development of the speed of our
our naval vosboIs. In detailing tho operations
OI tlm year special strofs Is lulu upon the ex
cellence of tho machinery built by tho gov
ernment for the new cruisers Cincinnati and
Balelgh, while Its cost has been no greater
than If obtained by contract, nnd three-llfths
of that cost hns been for Inbor nnd tho money
his passed directly from tbe government to
the mechanic.
The report recommends much needed Im
provements nt the various navy yards, nnd
especially nt the League Island yard, where
Mr. Melville believes the V lilted Htates have
a naval station second to none in the world,
provided certain plans nre carried out.
Home space In tho report Is devoted to tho
contract trials of tho new vessels, and parti
cularly the success attending ihe hazardous
nnd original experiment of fitting cruiser
with trlplo screws ns wns dono with the
Columbia and Minneapolis. A a result
theso vessels stand unrivaled to-day and un
nppronched in speed by nny vessel nllont,
except the torpedo boats. Tho report con
cludes as follows:
"In tbe Minneapolis, the Columbia, tho
Olympla nnd the New York we have produc
ed a (piartette of cruisers which, in point of
speed, Is unequaled by a like number of ships
of any navy in the world. Thoir trlnls wore
more exhaustive, nud the result such as to
leave absolutely no doubt a to tbe real
speed. Hubsequent examination of the
machinery failed to disclose any weakness or
delect of any nature whatever lu tbe machin
ery." 4 bo estimates submitted for tho next year
are (1,073,900, which is (175,00J In excess of
tbe current appropriations.
WORLD'S GOLD PRODUCTION.
This Year' Estimates Place tha Totals
Over $180,000,000.;
The total production of gold for the year
1893 was (157,022,000, which is fifteen hun
dred thousand greater than the figures given
by Director of the Mint Preston in his report
word having been received from Basil that
(15,000,000 worth of gold must be added to
the roport of her production. Already there
are ten and a half millions of Increased
product of gold for tbe present calendar
year in sight, aud were sncb a gain
maintained without any corrseponding
lucreafe, the total production tor tha
present year would aggregate tbe enor
mous sum of (178,000,000. And it must be
remembered that the first six months of a
year are always tho period of tha smallest
production of gold because of tbe seasons.
Beturns from the United States and European
nations Indicate that the last six months of
this year will shay a greater Increase over
last year's production at gold than the ten
and a half million of gold referred to above.
Instead of tbe production being for this year
(178,00,000, it is more likely to exceed
lUO,000,000,8urpaselug Director Trcstou's es
timate ol lti8,0u0,000 by more than (120,000
000. His estimate lor next year Is about (1H4,
000,000, and if tbe ratio of Increased produc
tion continues, as it Is likely to, the pro
duction of gold for 1805 may equal (200,000,
000 in value. Tbe developement of new
gold Uelds In slgnllioant,showlng that further
discoveries muy come at any time. In lays
the production of the United Htates aggregat
ed nearly (36,000,000, and it is estimated thnt
it will exceed (48,000,000 this year. Uuius
are expected from Bouth America aud Russia.
