Commodore Folger, chief of the bureau of ordnance, in bis annual report to the Secretary ot the Navy, estimates the expenses of the bureau for the next fiseal year at €4.789,291, of which total the sum of $4,186,250 is to be ap- Plied toward the armament of now vessels authorized to be built. The number of guns required to arm the new vessels is placed at $47, ranging from four to thirteen inches. The guns completed number 155, of which 117 were six-inch caliber; 2% sets of forgings have been ordered and 246 have been delivered. Although none of the ships author- ized to be built require guns of sixteen-inch caliber, it is believed that euch guns may be needed, #0 the necessary plans have been made and authority {x sought for construction of one of . _ It is believed that the difficulties ex- perienced abroad with those largo guns can bo overcome.

After recounting the efforts made to secure an effective auto-mobile or fish torpede the report 8a ‘he present state of work, in connection with auto-mobile torpedoes and their acces sories, is such as to justify the belicf that the installation of outfits on board vessels will com- mence early in the coming year, and that our navy will soon be equipped with torpedo outfits equal if not superior to those possessed by foreign nations.” With a view to utilizing the old single-turret monitors now in the James river plans have been prepared for new turrets and ior modern 8 or,10-inch rifles for them. THE WASHINGTOS OUN sHoPs. Of the Washington navy yard the report. says: It is perhaps unnecessary to state, and it is a fact which ia generally acknowledged, that the gun factory at the Washington navy yard has proved itself successful in the direction of econ- omy and efficiency. Ordnance material of every description is uow manufactured in this estab- lishment cheaper than outside contractors will agree to undertake the work. This state of a! fairs is largely due to the methods which hi been pursued in purifying the manner of mak- ing appointments, promotions, &e., in the labor force and in the adoption of an administration based upon business methods, and it is believed that the merit system, which has become final established, is satisfactory and beneficial bo! to the government and to the labor employed.” It may be considered as probable, the report says, that within eighteen months, with rela- tively slight expenditure of money, the present armor producing capacity of the United States couid be quadrupled in case such expansion should become necessary. It is also antici- pated that the price at present paid should be materially reduced for the same reasons of ac- tive competion and lack of necessity of extra- ordinary changes in or additions to plant. In connection with the subject of transport- ing overland heavy guus, the report strongly urges the establishment of a national gun fac- toryon the Pacific coast similar to that in Washington. ‘The report of Admiral Kimberly's board on armor tests on the recent trials at Indian Head forms an appendix to Commodore Folger's re- ng | port. ——___-e LIKE THE EYRAUD CASE, Henri Rosset Confesses to Strangiiag His Sweetheart’s Aged Lover. Henri Rosset, a Parisian youth of nineteen, has confessed to a frightfu: crime, not dis. similar in some of its features from that for which Eyraud, the strangler, suffered death and Gabrielle Bompard, his accomplice, is in prison. Rosset says that he was the lover of a waitress at Brasserie ‘This young woman had an elderly and well-to-do admirer, a tradesman, who supplied her with money, she receiving his attentions. The girl, according to Rosset, concluded ta get rid of her aged friend and get his money at the same time. She proposed to Rosset that she would lure the old men to some unusual place and Rosset would be on hand to kill and rob the victim. Whether the Eyraud- Gauffe murder suggested the means of getting rid of the old man is not stated, but the method, with a change of acene only, was very similar. ‘The. victim readily fell into the scheme planned for his destruction, especially as the girl, to.make sure af him. liad pretended to be coy and distant for aday or two.

Charles Tupper, minister of marine and fisheries, delivered an sddress to the Young Conservative Club at Chatham, Ont, last night. He dealt chiefly with the agricultural aspect of the political situation, dwelling on the relative’ condition of the farmers in Canada and thove in the United States. He held that in pros- perity and progress the Canadian farmers were, ‘man for man, as well off as their agricultural neighbors across the line. “The ition of the Canadian government today,” he said, “is as to our relations with ‘the people to the south: ‘That, while friendly disposed and anxious to trade with them, if we may do so with propriety and with profit, we would not be ledinto any arran; ment that would detract from the national wig- nity or do injury to homo interests. We ha rangement we could make, but such requests had been refused, ‘and the recont. proposed negotiations had been interrupted an: ferred on a childish plea.” then said that who began the proposals was of no consequence. ‘The real question was: ‘Could Canada negotiate a favorable treaty? We have made a proposition, he snid, and now wait for our neighbors to tell us what their mind ison it, We lay down this asa guiding and governing proposition—that in our condi | f tion and prospects today we, ns a conservative government, stand independent of any action Congress may take on the question of rociprocal trade.” Minister Tupper concluded with an earnest appeal to the young conservatives to remain true to Great Britain, and to preserve an atti- tude of independence in respect to the com- mercial policy of the neighboring republic. gets eabraer yas rinse, ts, RALDING BILLY M’GLORY. ‘The New York Grand Jury Indict the No- torious Divekeeper. Fors number of weeks alow dive has been run at the corner of 14th street and Irving place, New York. Except when the newspapers woutd call attention to it, or some college boys would want te “whoop it up,” this dive at- tracted but little attention. Those on the in- side knew that McGlory was the proprietor, but the officere found much difticulty in fixing upon that notorious divekeeper responsibility for the wickedness and naughtiness inside. Yesterday McGlory and two of his men were arrested on an indictment found by the grand jury charging them with keeping s disorderly house.

Russian Soldiers Engaged in Raiding and Foraging Driven Back. ‘The of eastern Germany contain frequent compiaints of outrages by Russian soldiers on the frontier. The Russians in gar- rison near the border of east Russia appear to be a peculiarly lawless set. They raid and for- age on the German inhabitants across the line almost as if war was already declared, and ‘these outrages, when complained of, are not ‘met by any redress. A few days ago a number of Russian soldiers crossed the frontier at Szameitkeimen, east Prussia, and endeavored te drive away a number of cattle belonging to the country people. The latter, determined to put a stop to the outrages, but not caring to meet the armed soldiers in open conflict, lay in ambush for the Russians, As tho latter came near the frontier they were more careless, thinking they would soon be ont of pursuit. Suddenly, while the raiders Were still on the German ‘soil, a number of countrymen rnshed out upon them from Husstans, although off their guard. made a resolute resist- | @! The Germans, however, laid about them manfully and pressed closely upon tho Russians to prevent the latter from using their weapons. ‘They soon had every Russian a8 a captive, with his hands bound behind him. Some of the more carnest spoke of inflicting summary pun- shment on the prisoners, but they determined to deliver them at the nearost Russian post with a statement of what they had done. The pris ‘oners would a good deal rather have preferred & thrashing on the spot, but they were marchod along until « Russian garrison was reached and there surrendered. The Russian commanding officer who re- ceived them seemed more deeply chagrined at the ignominious capture of his men by a lot of German peasants than by their detection in cattle steating. He promised that the raiders would be s¢verely punished, and as the Ger- mans were leaving several of the soldiers were alroudy boing stripped for the knout. As for- | 6} mer complaints of ‘similar raids have gone un- heeded the Germans assumed that the punish- ment was for being canght and not for the crime. JURY IN THE GRAVES CASE. At Last the Trial of the Doctor Will Begin at Denver. After nine days of tedious work the jury was completed yesterday in the famous Barnaby Poisoning case to be tried before Judge Rising at Denver. The court, after swearing the men in and giving them some advice, gave his in- structions to the officers who would have charge of them and adjourned court until today. State's Attorney Stevens will begin the Presentation of his case to the jury. ‘The dofense has determined in @ general way what the line of the defense will be. Judge Macon, senior counsel for Dr. Graves, stated that they were practically at sea ir. the matter. “We can do nothing,” said he, “until we dis- cover what the state intends todo. When we find that ont we will be in a position to take an aggressive stand in defense of our client.” e i aasderstood, , however, that they will base ir defense principally upon the proposition that Dr. Graves, aie a beneficiary of Are, Barnaby, had no motive for the commission of such a crime, and tbat the contents of the bottie which was sent to her by “a friend in the woods," and from which she drank the deadly draught, was changed after it arrived in Denver. They will not deny, it is stated, that Dr. Graves sent Mrs. Barnaby from Boston a bottle of whisky. —_— e+ —_____ TO CRUSH OUT THE STUNDISTS. 4 Religious Sect Upon Which the Czar Will ‘Wage War. The czar has issued a rescript appointing a new metropolitan of the Greek church at Kieff. In it his majesty urges that the most vigorous action should be taken against the Stundists, who, the czar says, “are injuring more and moro the faith of our fathers” ‘The Stundists are a Protestant sect, consisting mostly of Russians from tho Easter church, which was formed in 1817, They repudiate the excraments and demand an equal distribu- tion of property. A synod of the Eastern church some time since pronounced them uilty of blasphemy and anathematized them. t is estimated that the sect has over one mil- ion members. oe ——___ Died on the Ratlway Train.

Richardson, the Iowa momber of the democratic national committee, who is a mem- ber of the executive committee, which will meet in Washington next week, says that when he left Iowa » few days ago he had the impres- sion that New York was hustling to get the dem- ccratic national convention, but he has seen nothing to confirm it. “st Paul,” headded, “is always very actively engaged in working for the convention, and other western cities are moving in the same direction.” “As to the candidacy of Governor Boies for President, no one has been authorized to place his namo in the field. I think, bowever, that Governor Boies will be a candidate before the democratic convention unless he positively de- clines to permit the use of his name in that con- nection. He will certainly have the state of Towa at his back and, I yume, a very large following from the neigh! western states.

A case of great importance to American ship owners was tried at Laverpool, England, yester- day. Counsel for the Liverpool board of trade brought suit in the vame of that body against Capt. Adams of the American ship Henry J. the Smith for carrying a deck cargo of 6,300 cubic | feet of pine wood contrary to the merchant shipping act. Capt. Adams, repiying to the charges made at tho instance of the Liverpool board of trade, protested that he was ignorant of the British law upon the subject and claimed cave American citizens were exempt from the law. In spite of this defense Capt Adams was fined £10, The law under which this fine was imposed has not been previously enforced upon foreigners, and it is notorious that captains and owners of Norwegian vessels constantly defy the law referred to and that they do this with impunity. The matter of the ship Henry J. Smith's deck cargo wil, it isu derstood, be promptly referred to ties at Washington. ship H is of 1,033 tons register.

A number of ladies in Baltimore are inter- ested in the formation of an association having for ite object the relief of destitute ex-con- federate soldiors and the widows and orphans of ex-confederates, The confederate soldiers’ home at Pikesville has been an asylum for many of the ex-soldiers, but their families were in some cases left ‘destitute. A call has been issued for the names and residences of persons needing assistance, and more than seventy-five applications have been received. The iadies were gratified that in nearly every instance the application was for employment. The call was in the nature of an experiment to learn if there were ex-confederates in Baltimore who really needed aid. The names and addresses of the applicants were taken and employment will be procured for those desiring it, and the needs Of those requiring other assistance will be promptly attended to. —ee—____— A World’s Record Broken.

A disgraceful scene occurred Wednesday at the railway station in Limerick, Ircland,growing out of the antipathy entertained by the two factions of the Irish party for each other. The MeCar- thyites had been holding a convention at Lim- erick, and among the prominent speakers present were Mr. William O'Brien and Mr. Jobn Dillon. After the business of the convention had been concluded a large mumber of those Present escorted Mesers. Dillon and O'Brien to the station. When Messre. Dilion and O'Brien arrived at the station they were grected with hoots and yells and many opprobrious epithets were hurled at them. S The MeCarthyites who had accompanied Messrs.

The republicans still have the state board of canvassers so tied up with injunctions that they can do nothing, and the democrats have re- fused to accept the proposition of the republi- cans to submit all the contests to the courts and abide by their decision. Apparently the only thing for the democrats to do now is to secure the removal of the injunctions, let the board canvass the returns and then let the re- publicans fight the matter out with the courts to reverse the action of the board. When the board of canvassers was called to- gether yesterday at 11:25 a.m. by Secretary of State Rice, William A. Sutherland of Rochester served two more orders granted by Judge Lan- don at Schenectady on Wednesday upon the members of the board. They were orders for mandamus proceedings to be heard before Judge Edwards at Hudson on Saturday, requir- ing the board to show cause why certificates of election to the would-be senators elect, Derby in the sixteenth district and Peck in the twen- ty-fifth district, both repudlicans, on the face of the returns filed from these ‘districts and why the board’s determination of the question should not be made upon the returns only and Hoff’s Malt Extract—the only geu | uine, zante Rere Or Our EQUITABLE CREDIT sistem NECESSITATES, FROM THIS TIME FORTH, OUR DEVOTING A PORTION OP our 681K COLOSSAL STORES-6 TO THE STORAGE OF PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS EVE'S DELIVERY, THERE REMAINS, THEREFORE, NO EX- CUSE FOR DISAPPOINTMENT ON THE PART OF ANY ONE, SEEING THAT A TRIVIAL AMOUNT AS AN EARNEST OF YOUR GOOD WILL SECURES AT ONCE THE COMFORTS, ENDEARMENTS AND NE- CESSITIES OF HOME, PROVIDING YOU ARE WILLING IN THE FUTURE TO SHARE WITH US A PORTION OF YOUR WEEKLY OR MONTHLY SAVINGS ToO- WARD THAT END.
