The following telegram was sent this morn- ing from the War department to Gen. Crook, commanding the division of the Missouri, at Chicago: “Interior department furnishes Sec- retary of War following information,taken from public press, but reports no official information received to that effect: GLENWoop Sraines, Cox., Aug. 15. It is reported that the Indians are mo east and that they were seen ut the head Elk Creek, Tuesday. From the reports their objective point is their old hunting grounds near the head of White river. That no step is taken to head them off and send them back where they belong is wondered at. As the red men are not stopped by the officials private parties are planning a raid on the red maraud- ers and a lively skirmish will ensue. “In view of the above the major general commanding directs that you take such pre- cautionary ded as may be deemed proper to Prevent trouble between the Indians and whites in western Colorado,” ‘These Indians are Utes and were formerly a part of Colorow's band. NO ACCEPTABLE BIDS. The Government to Ask for New Propo- sals for Building Five Steel Cruisers. Bids were opened at the Navy department today for the construction of five steel cruisers, three of 2,000 tons each and two of 3,000 tons. The proposals issued for these bids, as is the custom of late, are divided into four classes: first, for the vessels complete according to the department’s designs; second, for the vessels complete on the contractor's designs; third, for the hulls upon the depart- ment’s designs and the machinery upon the contractor’s designs; and fourth, for the construction of the machinery on the department's plans and the huils on the con- tractor's designs. The 2.000-tonships are to be slightly larger than the Yorktown and the 3,000-ton vessels about the size of the Atlanta and Boston. The former are toexhibit a maxi- mum speed of at least 18 knots for four con- secutive hours, with premiums in case of an excess and deduction in case of failure to attain this speed. The vessels are to be com- pleted in two years and are not to exceed $700,000 each in cost. If they fail to attain 163g knots they will be rejected. The prem- iums and deductions range from @10,000 for the first U ertar’ knot to $40,000 for the fourth, fifth and sixth quarter knots. In the case of the 8,000-ton vessels they are required to exhibit a d of 19 knots, with 8 fixed bonus or deduction, aa the case may be, of $50,000 for each quarter knot variation from this requirement. In the case of these ves- sels, limited in cost to $1,100,000 each, there is no minimum speed fixed below 19 knots asa condition of acceptance or rejection. Every provision is made in the blank contracts to ‘d the government against loss, and, profit- ing by past experience, the contractor is made responsible for the success of the vessels re- gardiess of minor faults of omission in the de- signs furnished by the department. THE BIDs, The Bath iron works of Bath, Me., offered to build the three 2.000-ton ships for $780,000 each, with the addition of six months to the two years, Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia pro- posed to build the same vessels at $875,000 e The same firm offered to build the two 3,000- ton vessels for $1,225,000. All of these bids were for the first class, to build the ships ac- cording to the department’s plans, both bulls and machinery. ’ ‘The bids will have to be rejected, for none of them comes within the limits of the appro- priations. Besides this the government al- ways requires at least $50,000 margin for Lana 3 the ships with boats and other trimmings no’ furnished by the contractors. This shows that contractors are bopening to see that it is risky business. the building of government vessels, and are determined to force the sppropria- tions to a higher figure, It will now meces- sary to readvertise for bids, but the chances are that no better results will be obtained, and in that case it will be necessary to ask Congross for more money. THE CAPTURED SEALERS, What is Said at the Treasury of the Work of the Rush. The Treasury department does not know anything about what the cutter Rush is doing in Behring sea, for they cannot communicate with her until she comes into some port. They do not know that she has seized any more piratical sealers, but they presume she has if she has come across any. They can only ae- sume that the reported seizures have been made, since it is a very likely thing to occur. It ia probable that Capt. Shepard knows nothing of the escape of the Black Diamond, unless some of his later prizes have given him the informa- tion—which they would not do if they were wise and wanted to try the same thing themselves, The Rush went out under orders, in compliance with the statute and the terms of the proclamation by the President, to protect the seal fisheries, and there is no restriction on her commannder that can be learned of to prevent his doing his work completely to the best of his ability. The intention of this government is to protect the fisheries by seizing all vessels found taking seal in Behring sea, A failure to bring prizes into port appears to be entirely the result of want of facilities to do so. Even the prize crews of one being sent out too often b be kadnapped would weaken the Rush’screw. The chances are that copnie Shepard is in good faith, doing all he knows how to capture as many of the pirate sealers as he finds in Behring sea, bably, when he discovers that the prizes in charge of one man do not go to Sitka, he will adopt a new policy and tow the captured crafts into ie It is declared by everybody in the reasury department who is supposed to know anything about the matter that they are trying in faith to enforce the law ac- cordance with the proclamation declaring these waters a closed sea. They have nothing to do with the political or diplomatic side of the case and have no instructions to take that matter intoconsideration. They bave nothing to do with what Canada or Great Britain may think of the seizures, They do not know as yet whether or not an: more seizures have been made, but the Ri has been unfortunate if it is not so. The prob- ability points to the seizure of as many vessels as she found violating the law—and could catch. The trouble seems to be that she has to let one go to catch another, Interior Department Appointments.

MAHONE SHALL BE NOMINATED BY AO- CLAMATION—SOME DISAPPOINTMENT BY OTHER GUBERNATORIAL ASPIRANTS, Special Dispatch to Tas EVENING STAR, Norroux, Va., Aug. 22.—If the ancient city of Norfolk never presented animated, bristling scenes before it is entitled to the credit now. Delegates to the republican convention are to be seen meandering in every direction. One surprising feature is the scarcity of colored delegates. White delegates predominate largely and seem to be doing all the preliminary work, the colored ones having little or nothing to do but await the meeting of the convention. Gen. Mahone’s headquarters are at the Pur- cell house, as are also ex-Congressman Bowen's. The general is overwhelmed with visitors this morning, principally the leaders of the various delegations, who call to report and shake hands with the little man who is now the cynosure of the whole country. _ The academy of music, in which the conven- tion will meet, has been handsomely decorated, and that with the band engaged will add fuel to the fire of enthusiasm with which every dele- gate seems to be burning. That General Mahone will be nominated by acclamation goes without saying, as fore- shadowed in yesterday's telegrams to Tax Star. And while this was bay eaters it may be rn that one, if not two, of the aspirants are just A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED. This arises, however, from the fact that Gen. Mahone did not intimate in any way to them before last night whether he weuld accept or not, and they nursed booms which they other- wise would not have done. Some thought that he would prefer the chance of being re-elected to the United States Senate, but his being gov- ernor, should he be elected, would not inter- fere witb such an ambition. It is well known that ex-Mayor Lamb both wanted and did not want the nomination, pro- vided Gen. Mahone would decline. But his business relations are such. it is alleged, that @ canvass at this time, whether successful or not, would greatly cripple them, and his friends assert that the intimation from Gen. Mahone that he would accept a nomination was really a relief to the ex-mayor, and, as it now stands, he will put Gen. Mahone in nomina- tion and ask the convention to indorse it by acclamation. Judge Wood of Scott county was also de- sirous of the nomination, and his friends from the southwest boomed him with a vim until the conference between himself, Gen. Ma- hone, Col. Lamb and Congressman Bowden, this coterie forming a dinner party given by Gen, Mahone at a well-known restaurant here yesterday afternoon, After the dinner Judge Wood showed signs of disappointmeut, but the result of the conference will in no wise affect his party zeal or loyalty to the ticket the convention may select, THE BALANCE OF THE TICKET. Last night the name of Capt. Warren 8. Lurty of Harrisonburg was connected with the lieu- tenant governorship and Mr. Campbell Slemp of Lee county was spoken of for attorney gen- eral; but thie morning the positions are reversed, and it is probable that slemp will be nominated for lieutenant governor and Lurty for attorney general, Slemp isa farmer-lawyer from the buck tier of counties, and, while a good, plain, business man, is considered unequal to the posi- tion of attorney general, while Capt. Lurty is regarded as a capable lawyer, having been once 4 succes United States district attorney for the western district, James A, Walker of Wytheville is no fongee mentioned, though it is known that he has been in correspondence with Gen. Mahone on the subject since last winter. Too much oppo- sition to him developed—in fact it was found that to nominate him would stampede the party. At one time he was one of the most violently abusive of all abusers of the “read- juster” element of the democratic party, of which Gen, Mahone, Lamb, Bowen, Bisir and other now prominent republicans were leaders, Hence he has been shelved. If the Slemv- Lurty combination should by any possibility fail, Gen. Wyatt M. Elliott of Appomattox is spoken of. THE DEBT QUESTION. The position to take on the state debt ques- tion has given rise to a lengthy discussion. ‘The Riddleberger bill, which isa republican measure, was indorsed by the democratic con- vention, To oppose it is to change ition and may have a tendency to weaken lat form. ko call it a failure is a confession of the weakness of their ownscheme. The prominent men of the party here say, however, that the debt has increased eight millions and that other steps should now be taken to settle the indebtedness to meet the contingency. Brady has not turned ayant may ey though it is claimed that he was to be on hand in pes role of peacemaker and pacifier. Ex-Governor Cameron has packed his and bi eo and flown away. mer has subsided and is merely alooker-on in Venice. The name of John §, Wise is not mentioned except with a smile, The “kickers,” however, claim that they are not dead but only taking a little nap while the fun is going on. The delegates here, though, say there is no fear of them, and that the No- vember election will poll full republican vote, A KICKER’S CONFERENCE. Gen. Grone: says that the Wise-Cameron faction will let the convention severely alone, If there is no change in the present mode of county and district meetings they will certainly not ng aay the nominees of the convention. ‘They Buve decided to hold a conference shortly after the Norfolk convention adjournsand then ae nee be decided upon and made pul —. THE CRONIN CASE, Trying to Locate the Expressman Who Took Burke’s Tin Box. Curcaco, Aug. 22.—This morning Alexander Sullivan took Klabre, the tinsmith who says STABBED BY A BURGLAR. A Brooklyn Groceryman’s Encounter With Three Thieves. New Yous, Aug. 22—At an early hour this morning three thieves broke into the grocery store of Chris W. Luca, at Jay and High streets, Brooklyn. They were surprised at their work by the proprietor and hand-to-hand conflict took » during which the grocer was stabbed to the heart. The police found one of the men in his store hiding behind a barrel. pt = a was aay and gave a ay ion esca] He ‘said their ‘names, were’ Hawthorn Denoon and Thos. Quinlan. An alarm was at once sent to this city, with arequest to watch for the men. In less than an hour itive had cap- tured Benson, who, on being taken before In- ized as Martin eae, Byrnes, was recogni & professional thief andex-convict. He was surrendered to the Brooklyn officers, The other man is being hotly pursued. Before Denin had been taken to Rrooklyn sent for Inspector to whom he said wanted to confess, He said that neither henor inlan knew what had hay in the store, ei were both on the outside watching while McElwain was in the store. Suddenly McEl- wain came rushing out of the store. He was covered with bi The prisoner and Quinlan then fled, FURTHER DETAILS SHOW that the burglars entered the yard in the reer of the house and put = ladder up to the middle second story window. McElwain was the one selected to go in. He is a silightly-built young man and only nineteen years old. He opened the window easily and crawled in and-was making his way to the front room, where it was posed that Mr. Luca kept his money box. It was quite dark at the time. He had reached the passageway leading ory the bedroom when Mr. Luca was awak- ened by the noise and got up to see what was the matter. He did not wake his wife. As he entered the dining room he saw the figure ofa man making for the window and grappled him at once. icElwain was so frightened that he dropped his bat near the bed room door where it was age up afterwards. He was in his stocking tee! Luca was big. powerful man, weighing over two hundred pounds, and he would have made short work with the intruder had not the latter been armed with a knife, an ugly-look- ing weapon, with a blade fully six inches long. As soon as Luca seized him near the window they began to tussle about, knock- ing the furniture about and making a great noise which woke up all the rest of the family. MRS. LUCA RUSHED OUT OF THE BED ROOM followed by Harry, ber nine-year-old son, and the servant came out of the other door. Luca was down on one knee in front of the window and his assailant stood over him, striking him repeatedly, ‘Help, murder, police,” shouted Luca at the top of his voice. ‘Help—I'm be- ing murdered. irs. Luca jumped forward and caught the murderer by the arm, while the servant grab- bed him by the coat while Luca tried to get up. “Stand back,” cried McElwain to the two wo- men, flourishing his knife, which they then saw for the first time. “Stand back and let me go, or I'll cut you open as I did him.” th women shrank back in horror and Mc- Elwain jumped out of the window and, SS bing up his shoes, ran out of the yard down High street. Tae meanwhile had si led to his feet and had stagyered to the sink in the corner of the room. ‘For God’s sake, Mary, get me some help,” he grouned. “I believe I am killed,” and with that he sank down in a hea] in the corner of the room. The shrieks of the woman aroused the whole neighborhood and in 8 few seconds afterward Dr. Stone who lives on the opposite side of Jay street came running in. It was too late, however, to do anything for the wounded man. HE WAS FAST DIIXG. ‘There were three or four deep gashes on his right shoulder and arm and a horrible cut in the breast right under the heart, from which his life blood was pouring in a stream. Within ten minutes he had breathed his last, McElwain was captured by Policeman Ken- nedy, who says that he heard shouts of “mur- der,” “police,” and a few seconds later saw a man running toward him with his shoes in his hand, He grabbed him and took him to the station. McElwain had in his possession a big wicked looking knife, the blade of which was covered with blood. McElwain confessed that it was he who had stabbed Luca, —— LIFE PENAL SERVITUDE.

Lonpox, Aug. 22.—Prince Ferdinand has celebrated the second anniversary of his acces- sion to the Bulgarian throne and appears to be more firmly seated there than ever. His reign has endured in spite of the thousand predic- tions of his speedy downfall. He has gained the respect of all by his pluck and sensible Policy and the affection of his subjects by his mild and beneficent sway. One thing he has failed to bring about—a marriage calculated to — ah him Se —— assure his con! Possession o! the si ll uncertain eminence he has gained. The rumored engugement with the Princess Marguerite, second daughter of the Duc De Chartres, appears to have amounted to nothing. In fact, by that alliance the Bulgarian ruler would only have SECURED THE ENMITY OF FRANCE 80 long as it remains a republic, and the legita- mists on the other hand neither wish to offend Russia nor attach their house to the fortunes of a prince who may bea private citizen before the end of the year. Of course M.Stam- bouloff, the Bulgarian premier, emphasized the rejoicings in honor of his master to irritate his own particular enemy the czar, to which the Russian monarch’s reply was the ostentatious declaration bestowed upon Grueff, the Turkish rier andsworn enemy of Bulgaria's present lers, GERMAN NAVAL FRAUDS. The case against Chief Constructing Engi- neer Pannecke of the German navy for frauds committed atthe Kiel station will be rigor- al ages He has implicated many other | officials as accomplices, and the emperor fresh from his review of the English fleet, feels less disposed than ever to be nent with the of- fenders who succeeded in setting at defiance | the boasted safeguards of German e bureau- racy. The Pall Mall Gazette's statement that the + serra contemplates a visit to Canada and the nited States is ridiculed by both press and public, her health alone forbidding her under- taking such a trip at her time of life.
