The Secretary of the Navy has received a report from the board of bureau officers in re- lation to the construction of the armored coast defense vessel, stating that it is impossi- bie to build the vessel under the lowest bid— 1,614,000—and comply with the terms ofthe act of Congress. This meas- ure fixed the total cost of naval rams, &e., at $2,000,000. From this sum must come the money for the armor of the vessel, to be furnished by the contractors, to cost’ at Jeast $350,000, as well as the anchors and boats, and also the sub-marine torpedo boat, for which bids were opened some time ago. If the lowest bid were accepted there would probably be a deficit of about $100,000. It is thought that the Seeretary will readvertise for pro- posals, and if they fail to come low enough, then to appeal to Congress for an increase in the limit fixed, To Preserve the Peace in Oklahoma. The following order was sent yesterday by Assistant Adjutant-General Kelton to the com- mending general, division of the Missouri, at Chicago: “The President directs that Gen. Merritt act in conjunction with the marshals of the United States courts, having jurisdiction in the country opened to settiement under the President's re- cent proclamation, to preserve the peace, and will — the requisition of such .marshals or their duly authorized deputies, use the under his command to aid them in executing warrants, making arrests, and quelling any riots or breaches of the peace that may occur, He will use his influence to promote peace and good order, and will take every proper measure to avoid any conflict of arms between or with the settlers, He will also see that the laws re- lating to the introduction of ardent spirits into the Indian country are enforced. A careful en- forcement of these provisions will do very much to promote good order.” 2% Upon the basis of price per line per 1,000 circulation, the advertising rates of Taz Evex- 1Na Sra are only about half as high as thoseof other Washington papers. But cheapness is not the only merit. Jis service is letter than Gny other paper in the city can possibly give! REMOVING THE FENCE. The Baltimore and Potomac Case in the Police Court. The Baltimore and Potomac railroad em- ployes have begun the work of removing the fence at the intersection of Virginia and Dela- ware avenues southwest, for maintaining which the company’s trainmaster, Mr. McKeever. was recently tried in the Police Court. That was to have been disposed of by the conrt to-day, but Judge Miller announced this morning that he still had the matter under consideration and was not yet prepared to give a decision, Mr, Shillington said that if necessary he bad further proof to establish the fact that Mr. McKeever was superintendent of the company’s affairs at this end of the line. Such proof, the court said, was not necessary because it would not further show Mr. McKee- ver’s individual responsibility Mr. Shillington said that as the fence was be- ing removed the ends of justice would probably be accomplished. and he would suggest that the case go over for another week. The court adopted the suggestion and the case went over until next Saturday, ele DEPOSITS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH. Recemmendations of Health Officer Townshend, Health Officer Townshend has addressed to the Commissioners a letter, in answer to their request for an inspection of the sewer-canal crossing the flats from the mouth of New York avenue intercepting sewer, and a report upon the probable effect upon the public health of the deposits of dredgings being placed on the north bank of the same. The health ofticer states: “The canal is bemg dredged from the mouth The of the sewer out to the river. deposited is more or less offensi cipitation of solids in the sewag. siderable at this point, If the 1 from the bed of the canal could aterial 3 the pre- must be con- erial taken » covered by other material of a less offensive nature it would be better, In event of this n being practicable, I think it would be advisable to have the mate removed to some point ata further distance from habitations. As the warm weather is bout to open there is a possibili of danger by reason of ‘exhalations from these deposits, and as the Potomae flats are the prop erty of the United States and under the exclu- sive control of the engineer department of the army, I would suggest that the officer in charge, Col. P. C, Hains, be addressed on the subject in order that action necessary in the premises may be taken.” — The New York Post-Oftice. Postmaster General Wanemaker to-day sent the following telegram to Thos, L. James: “Your designation by the sureties on the ofiic bond of Henry G. Pearson, deceased, to act as postmaster at New York during the period of vacancy occasioned by his death,and your ap- pointment of Jas.

Thirty of Them Captured After a Fight in Which Many Were Wounded. Porcett, I. T., April 20.—There was a sharp battle near here yesterday between U. 8. ofii- cers and boomers, and thirty boomers were taken prisoners, Seven of them were severely wounded, and one deputy marshal slightly hurt. For several days men on horseback and in wagons have been seen fording the South Canadian north of Purcell and disappearing in the timber to the eastward. Hunters also re- ported having seen large bodies of boomers moving in a northeasterly direction, and one man was reported plowing in a secluded valley about twenty miles from Purcell. Yesterday morning, early, three prairie schooners crossed the Santa Fe tracks below the city and forded the river. The feeling against the trespassers ran high, and the United States authorities were CALLED UPON TO EXPEL THE RAIDERS. Accordingly the chief deputy, accompanied by thirteen assistants, started on their trail, About 4 miles out a party of four wagons and five men was overhauled and started on the back track. Several miles further on the party was fired upon by concealed boomers and a pony killed, The deputies charged the thicket but found no one. Advancing a short distance further into a ravine they discovered a rough barricade of logs and brush and were GREETED BY A VOLLEY OF BULLETS, Only one of the deputies was hit, however, and he not seriously hurt. It was evident the barricade was heavily manned and that a direct assault would prove disastrous. Finally the deputies divided their forces and flanked the boomers, gaining positions where they could fire into the barricade. Ata signal they opened caused the death of her newly-born infant on September 2 last, by strangling it with a shoe- string. She is a sinall, jet black woman, per- haps thirty years of age. She denied ki the child. The court said that he had felt impelled to deny the motion for a new trial, and while be believed that no one would wish to see her suffer the extreme penalty of the law he felt it his duty to impose that sentence. There were reasons to believe that executive clemency would intervene. If it did not the sentence would still be in the province of the court, He then imposed the sentence, ‘The woman showed no emotion, and appeared not to realize her position. She’ is thought by many to be of feeble mind. : cscs ince te ON A Heavy Judgment. The supreme ‘court of Pennsylvania has sus- tained a judgment in the suit of J. M.
