NAVAL ACCOUNTS. ‘The Expenditures During the Year to Baild Up Our Navy. Mr. C. B. Morton, fourth auditor of the treasury, has submitted his annual report to Secretary Carlisle. It deals entirely with accounts of the Navy Department and con-, tains detailed information of expenditures om that account. The appropriations and balances were $43,727,119; the amount drawn out .by warrant was $30,661, ; balance on hand June 3, 18%, $17,412,762; amount car- ried to the surplus fund, $53,129. The ap- Propriations made by Congress during the past ten years for the increase of the navy agsregated $78,179,529, of which $60,449,445 has Deen expended, leaving a balance of $17,730,- Wt Im acklition to this there has been ap- propziated for the improvement of construc- tion and machinery plants at the several Ravy yaris, for repairs to tron and steel ships (incident to the increase of the navy), $715,0, of which all but 36,541 has been expended. The act of Congress approved February 9, 188, permits enlisted men and appointed Petty officers of the navy to deposit their savings in sums not less than $ with pay- masters upon whose books their accounts are borne, beering interest at the rate of 4 ber cent per annum. Since the passage of the act, up to June 30, 1883, there has been deposited $00,707; repayments, $06,419; stand- ing to the czedit of the men, $1%,257.57; in- terest paid during the same period, $13,099. ‘This action of Congress has hada very beneficial effect in encouraging the men to gave their earnings, and undoubtedly has prevented many desertions, as the men are Rot permitted to withdraw their deposits ‘nti their final discharge. ‘The total disbursements on account of ‘71.95 naval pensioneers during the past Year were $3,734,104. Auditor Morton closes his report as fol- lows: “So brief a period has elapsed since I per- sonaily entered upon the duties of the office that I shall not subm!t any recommendation. I find that the currert work of the different divisions appears to be well up to date, so far as practicable. The divisions are in charge of intelligent and competent offi- cials.* ———— Hous- Letter Boxes. Honorabie Frank Lag Seg ae —. — timast neral, 3 written a letter UrPootmaster General W. 8.

CHICAGO, October 10.—This day at the exposition promises to be the next largest | to Chicago day in point of attendance, though there is no special attraction outside | of the North Dakota celebration. ‘Thousands of people were lined outside the gates at 10 o'clock and the jam in front of the ticket offices was as great as ygsterday because there were no souvenir tickets to be purchased in advance. There were prob- ably 100,000 on the grounds at 10 o'clock. ‘This was the first day for the directors’ order regarding a ten cent admission for children, twelve years of age and under, and thousands of little ones came with their parents and other relations to see the fair. ‘The troubles of the exposition employes at the children’s gates were increased by the attempt made to get boys and girls over the maximum age in the grounds for a dime, instead of 25 cents.

It Has Not Been Purchased by a Syn- dicate. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.—A representa- tive of the Mexican Land Co., at present in this city, was last evening asked if he had heard the report that Lower California had been purchased by a syndicate and would be annexed by the United States government. The company with which he is connected has a grant of 18,600,000 acres from the Mexican government and he stated tnat the reported purchase had no foundation whatever. “This report,” he said, “may possibly re- fer to what is known as the Hale conces- sion of one and a half million acres below us, but as for our sections, we have no idea of selling and could make no sale with- out the consent of the Mexican govern- ment.” LONDON, Oct. 10.—The representative in this city of the United Press today saw Baron de Worms in connection with the story that a syndicate had purchased Lower California from the Mexican government with the intention of shortly having that country incorporated into the ‘American Union. Baron de Worms’ name was mentioned in the story as oae of the leaders in the | movement. When questioned today on the | subject he said that be had never heard |of the syndicate and the report that he | was in any way connected with it was lentirely unfounded. j —_——— COLUMBIA'S SECOND TRIAL.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10—Today’s market opened with slight variations either way from last night's closing. London was lower, especially for Nashville, and renewed selling orders in that security on this side. The only bull argument so far is the news from Washington. Indications point to some termination of the silver debate =| the Senate and the street is optimistic on the result. Should a compromise be agreed upon that would include a bond issue a period of speculative inflation is predicted.

This condition of things will, of course, give way to the improvement that myst follow the realization of present pros- pevts. The market for sterling and conti- nental bills continues steady.on a restricted volume of business. An increased inquiry from remitters and some settlement of sterling loans is probably the real cause of the strength in this market.

OFFICERS OF THE BODY«| Banners of silk fringed wifh gold and shining in the bright sunlight of thé Oc- tober day, badges of bright hues worn on the breasts of a sturdy line of men formed the center of attraction on Penn- sylvania avenue this morning. As the legends on the banners stated, and as the inscription on the badges proclaimed, the members of the American Bottlers’ Asso- cfation of the United States had come to town for the purpose of holding their an- nual convention. In accordance with the details of the program as laid down by the local committee of arrangements, con- sisting of the members of the bottlers’ association of this city, of which Mr. Sam uel C. Palmer is the president, the sessions of the convention were preceded by @ parade. It was a sightly parade, and evi- dently enjoyed by the bottlers, although the weather was a trifle warm. ‘The entire affair was under the super- vision of Mr. Charles L. Beatty, the secre- Chas. Joly. tary of the local association, who was the grand marshal. He was assisted by a num- ber of aids mounted on prancing steeds, but none pranced so gracefully or danced along so lightly as the steed which bore the chief marshal. The horse looked hand- some and so did the rider and so the spec- tators were prepared in a measure for the manly forms that made up the bulk of the procession. Following the marshal and hit aids came carriages, in which were seated the officers of the association and_ thelt wives and lady friends. The time step was supplied by the National Guard Band and keeping time to lively strains the proces- sion swung out on F street from Mth strect, where it had formed, and took up the ling jof march to 15th street and then down | Pennsylvania avenue to Ist street and re- | turned by F street to the Metzerott Hall, on 12th street, where the sessions will be held. The delegations from the different states marched together and while all the et \teen states connected with the associa- toa were not represented, still the states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland ‘made a good showing. The procession moved over the following route: Fourth street to East Capitol, to B northeast, to New Jersey avenue, to’C, to Ast northwest (where the parade passed in review of the Commissioners), to Penn- sylvania avenue, to 1ith street, to K, to 3d, to Massachusetts avenue, to’ New Jersey avenue and D, where the parade was dis- missed. A banquet was served immediately upon the dismissal of the procession at No. 410 D street southeast. A reception will be given tomorrow night to the visiting fra- ters at the Grand Army Hall. It is hardly necessary to add that for some time at least the hall was deserted, and the delegates met about the tables in the other room, where they could be near the place where the corks were popping and take a professional view of the bot- tles. Otto Brandt For, as the name of the association in- dicates, bottles absorb a good deal of the time and the thought of the members, and it is on account of the growing importance of this great industry that state assocta. tions having been formed, and these latter have united in organizing the national as- sociation. This is an organization that rep- resents a good deal of money, and it is ne- cessary that they should take measures to look after their interests. In most of the states there are laws which recognize property in bottles, so that instead of using bottles without re- gard to the name which may be blown up- fon them, those who receive them consider that they are a species of property that is to be turned over to the rightful owner. It is the desire of the bottlers that a na- tional law should be enacted of this char- acter and to bring about such legislation {s one of the main objects of the national or- ganization. : Persistent Cigar Smoke. ‘When the lunch room began to lose some- thing of its power the delegates found their way out into the main hall, where they sat puffing on their cigars and contentedly waiting for something to turn up. Those in charge of the hall, however, were evi- dently opposed to the smell of the weed, | and at intervals pajite ushers would pass | among the delegates and inform them that | iw) J. Loebkachner. \ smoking was not allowed. With equal po- liteness the ushers were notified that the regulation met with the approval of the visitors. The smoke, however, continued to ascend from numerous cigars, and the polite crusade against this habit went calm- ly on. ‘Soon the president of the association, Mr. Charles Joly, a trim business man from Philadelphia,’ came to the front and an- nounced that it was thought best to finish the lunch and perhaps by that time Mr. Parker, one of the Commissioners’ of tte District, would arrive and make xn adress of welcome. So all the delegates fi into the lunch room again. It Is ed that the association will remain in session through tomorrow, and among otheyAtems of business will probably appoint a com- mittee to look after legislation. Commissioner Parker reached the hall soon after 1 o'clock, but the delegates were at lunch, and so the convention was not called together. The National Officers. After the president perhaps the most Prominent man in the convention is Mr. J. Loebkuchner of New York city, who is the chairman of the board of state secre- taries. The treasurer, Mr. Otto Brandt, hails from the same city and is one of the substantial members of the body. The officers are: Charles Joly of Philedelphia, Pa., president; J. C. Buffuin of Pittsburg, Pa, frst vice president; August Graf of St. Zouis, Mo., second vice president; F. D. Morehouse of rt, Conn., third vice president; Emil Zeltner of New York city, recording secretary; Henry Nennich of Philadelphia, Pa., corresponding secre- tary, and Otto Brandt of New York city, treasurer. A board of state secreearies, acting under the direction of the chairman of the association, is composed of J. Loebkuchner, New Yor city, chairman; Walter Stapleton, Bridgeport, Conn., sec- retary, and the following state secretaries: Henry Tonjes and George Esselborn, New York city; Louis Hillemanund and George W. ‘Tucker, Philadelphia; John Knobel, Brooklyn; Cherles P.

Dauterich, treasurer. ¥ RAPID ADVANCES Made in the Navy Durin; Year. ‘The annual reports of the bureau officers of the Navy Department are well under way and will shortly be published. They show that splendid progress in the development of the navy has been made during the past year. The report of Commodore Ramsay of the bureau of navigation is of special in- terest. It shows that during the year 10,60 men and 2,061 boys applied for enlistment in the na¥y. Of this number 1,777 men and 1,004 boys were rejected on account of phys- teal defects; 4,192 men and 173 boys were re- dected for other reasons. The number of desertions included 939 men and 320 boys, and were chiefly confined to home ports. ‘The desertions on foreign stations were 163 men and seventeen boys. No difficulty has been experienced in keeping full the enlisted force allowed by law. The report of Commodore Samson gives interesting details of the year's progress in ordnance material. Apparently armor, projectiles and guns have. for the present at least, reached a limit in surprises. It is in- tended to hold fast to the good results ob- tained heretofore, and to make such im- provements from time to time as further Practical experience warrants, During the year two steel companies have successfully Gemonstrated their ability to manufacture armor-piercing projectiles equal, if not superior, to those made abroad.

The United States Turning Them Out of Superior Quality. Recent tests at Indian Head and Sandy Hook are considered by orinance experts as having satisfactorily solyed the problem of projectiles as well as the problem of armor and guns. The recent trials at Sandy Hook have demonstrated that this country, which five years ago had never manufactured a single armor-piercing pro- jectile, has now two independent sources of supplying such shelis, one for the forts and the other for the ships. The projectiles thus made are equal, if not supe-ior, to pro- jectiles made by the same systems in any part of the world. A nine-inch nickel-steel plate at Sandy Hook was cleanly perforat- ed by two eight-inch shells made by the Midvale Steel Company on the Holtzer sys- tem. One of them s recovered, practic- aliy perfect in shape, the point being sharp and instruments being -equired to detect the “upset,’ ‘hich amounted to only tive- thousandths of an inch. Ufder a severe test, this American-made Hovitzer projectile showed that it was practically uninjured. At Indian Head American twelve-inch shells made by the Carpenter Steel Compa- ny, on the Firming sysiem, had p-eviously attacked a Bethlehem seventeen-inch nickel steel plate. One of them penetrated sixteen and a haif inches, a second went beyond the rear of the plate, while the third, with a high charge, passed through both’ piate and backing. ‘The two former were recov. ered and we-e pronounced to be uninjured, the point of one remaining still sharp. Army and navy officers are very enthusi- astic over these results. es GOVERNMENT, DISTRICT The Cadets’ Uniforms.

When Mr. McPherson resumed his seat Mr. Stewart (Nev.) rose and asked whether the minority had done anything but to dis- cuss what it believed to be an attempt to perpetrate a great wrong. “I have made no such accusation,” Mr. McPherson replied. “Then,” sald Mr. Stewart, “I have heard enough of this lecturing of the minority. I have heard enough of the re-echoing of the slanders of the New York press, which demanded that the Senate should vote and debate afterward.

Never since the war has any President had so many important appointments in the army as have fallen to the lot of President Cleveland. He has already appointed two brigadier generals, one, Gen. Carlin, in the line and the other, Gen. Sternberg, to be surgeon general. Next month he will have the appointment of ay adjutant general on the retirement of Gen. Williams, and a brigadier geueral of the line on the retire- ment of Gen. Carlin. Of the three major generals, Gen. Scho- present administration, leaving Gen. Miles as the senior major general, where he will remain until 1903, when he, too, will retire. With the exception of Sternberg, Inspector Breckinridge, and Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance, all the heads of staff departments will retire during Presi- dent Cleveland's term, giving him the selec- tion for promotion of four officers as brig- adier generals. Brig. Gen. Alex. McCook will retire in April “next. Gen. “Howard, at Governor's Island, retires November & 18M, and Gen. Schofleld_on September 29.18%. As Gen. Thomas Ruger will be the senior brigadier in order of seniority, he will probably be ad- | vanced to a major general upon Gen. How- jard’s retirement, and Gen. Wesley Merritt promoted to Gen. Schofield’s vacancy. In the inspector general's department Gen. | Joseph C. Breckinridge retires January 14, /1906, and in the judge advocate general's de- | partment, Gen. Swaim, who had been under Suspension for a number of years, and who | will retire before the expiration of his | sentence, goes off the active list on Decem- | ber 22, 1896, | Gen: John P.Hawkins, head of the subsist- j ence department, retires September 24, 1896. In the pay department Gen. William Smith ‘has until March 2, 18%, to serve, when he will have to give way to another officer of jhis corps. Gen. Thomas Lincoln Casey, chief of engineers, the crack corps of the rvice, will be displaced May 10, 18%. Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance, remains on the active jist until 18%, The retirement of all these officers will create vacancies in the lowest grades, which the President may bestow upon some de- Serving officers of the line, where the chances of promotion are not so good. ae SENT IN CIPHER. Secretary Herbert's Instractions to the Naval Officer at Rio. Secretary Herbert has sent a long cipher message to Capt. Picking, commanding the United States steamer Charleston, at Rio | de Janeiro, conveying the President's in- structions for his guidance in the matter of the Brazilian yevolution. The contents are an official secret of the most sacred character, and the best that the gossips are able to do ts to surmise that Capt. Picking is instructed to act with the. greatest care, in order to avoid any semblance of inter- ference between the belligerents consistent with his supreme duty of protecting the lives and property of citizens of the United tates, ae Big Battle Ships. Probably the most important event in the history of the navy in the next two years will be the launching and completion of the | battle ship Oregon. She is under construc- | tion by the Union Iron Works of San Fran- | cisco and will take her initial dip into the water about the last of this month. The Oregon is one of the three battle ships authorized by Congress two years ago, the | other two being the Indiana and Massacha- setts, which ‘were launched from the Cramps" yard at Philadelphia this summer. ‘These three will be the most powerfui ad- | ditions the navy has had, and represent the highest state of efficiency of vessels of their class.

The Streets to Be Dropped—Effort to Be Pushed for a Municipal Building This Session. There is general satisfaction in the de- partments of the District government over the estimates of the Commissioners, which were printed in yesterday's Star. With few exceptions, all important increases asked were included in the estimates, and if 50 per cent of them are allowed, the work of the office will be greatly expedited. Before finally deciding upon the estimates, the Commissioners called the head of each de- partment before them and carefully con- sidered each item of their recommendations. When it was found necessary to cut the original estimates, it was done only after the officer in charge of that branch of the work in which the cut was made had been consulted. In this way the Commissioners were enabled to get at the necessary in- creases. When at last it was found absolutely necessary to make a cut in the estimate for street improvements the Engineer Com- missioner and his assistant, Capt, Fiebeger, were called in and the schedule as pre- pared by Capt. Fiebeger and printed in The Star under date of September 1 carefully gone over. Every street recommended, Capt. Fiebeger maintained, was absolutely in need of improvement and should not be stzicken from the list. His schedule, how- | ever, was based on a $600,000 appropriation jand'the Commissioners decided to appor- | tion but $475,000 for this important work. | When this was dotie the question arose, |how to make an equitable distribution. | Finally it was decided: to give the north- western section $180,000, southwestern sec- ; tion $61,750, northeastern section $102,125, | southeastern section $90,250, Georgetown section $40,375. '" It was decided, however, to let the sched- ule stand as originally submitted, although it is absolutely known that with $475,000 a number of the streets would have to be left Of, According to 9 statement by Capt. Fiebeger, if Congress allows the $475.00 for | street improvements as asked, the following streets will of necessity be left off the | schedule: 1 Northwest. T trom 7th to Florida avenue, pave, $5,000; Rhode Island avenue from New Jersey ave- nue to Florida avenue, pave, %,000; Ohio avenue from Mth street to 15th street. pave, $6,000; D street from 14th to 15th | streets, pave, $4.00: K street from ist to North ‘Capitol streets, pave, $10,000; 25th street from M to N streets, pave, $7,000. Southwest. F street from 7th street west, pave, $12,000. Northeas: B street from 8th to 9th streets, pave, $3,500; D street from Maryland avenue to 9th street, pave, $5.50; F street from 3d street east, pave, $13,000. Southeast. L street from 4th to 8th atiests, grade and repair, $4,500; E street from i3th to Ith streets, pave, $8,000; 4th street from C street southward, pave, $7,000. Georgetown, Dumbarton, 27th to 28th, pave, $5,000; 30th to C. and O. canal, pave, $2,000. With reference to the estimate of $100,000 asked for the commencement of the new Municipal building, the Commissioners say they are going to make another try tc get the building sturted at least. When an op- portunity presents itself they propose to go before the several committees of Con- gress and urge this matter above evers- thing else. It will be noted by an examination of the estimates that there are several new en- gine houses estimated for, as well as addi- tional facilities for the police department CLAL ‘The Commission Under the Treaty ‘With Chile Begin Business. The United States and Chilean clatms commission when it met at the bureau of American republics yesterday adjourned until next Monday, when hearings in the two cases formally filed will begin. These cases are Dubois against Chile, based on the destruction of the American railway in Peru and the South and Central Ameri- can Telegraph Company agaiust Chile for interference with its business during the recent Chilean var. The Dubois claim is for $2,500,000, and the telegraph company is for $160,000. Ex-Gov. Boutwell of Massa- chusetts has been retained a8 counsel for Chile. ‘The commission will act under the treaty ratified between the two nations last year and proclaimed January 28, 18%, by Presi- dent Harrison. The gentlemen composing the board are the Hon. John Goode of Vir- ginia, representing this government; the Hon. Domingo ~Gaua, representing Chile, and the minister to the United States from Switzerland, who was made the third mem- ber by appoipiment by the president of the Swiss republic. The :reaty, which was negotiated by Mr. Patrick Zsan,covers all claims of citizens of the United States azainst Chile as well as all claims of citizens of Chile against the United States. It is expressly provided that all the claims shall be disposed of by the com- mission within six months from the first day set for business, October 9. All per- sous having claims ‘to urge are allowed three months from this date in which to submit them. They can bring them in any time before December 9, 1883. Some of the claims go back as far as 1820, The oldest ones grew out of the war between Chile and Spain, in which certain citizens of the United States are alleged to have suffered injuries to their persons or property. Later came the revolution of 1%1 in Chile, which was followed in 1%9 by another revolution. It is rot a good year in a South American republic when there is not a revolution. Incidentally to these troubles more citizens of the United States resident in Chile were damaged in one way or another. Claims on similar grounds arose from the war between Chile and Peru in 1873, 1880 and 188); likewise from the conflict be- tween Balmaceda and the congressional party for the control of Chile, which was quite recent. For a long time past efforts have been made to settle these matters by submitting them to a commission for ad- judication. Now at last this has been a complished. The old claims which have been hung up in the Department of State will be taken out of the files for consider- ation. Thus far only two new ones have been submitted—that {s to sey, since the treaty was made. But there is no telling how many more there will be. sa siennsietterte “uaesomstl ta STRUCK WITH A BOTTLE. A Man Who Said He Was Going to Exterminate Liquor Sellers. John Curtin went out on a whisky cru- sade this morning. He did not follow in the footsteps of the Rev. John T. James and smash a window, but he first drank all the liquor he could carry and then started to whip the proprietors of the sa- loons. Entering the saloon of Max Marshall, cor- ner of Louisiana avenue and 6th street, he made the bold assertion that he was | going to kill every man who sold whisky. Mr. Marshall had recollections of the 7th street affair and fearing Curtin was an- other crank and might put his threats into execution he used a beer bottle with good \effect. Curtin turned his head as the bot- | tle came through the air toward him and in an instant his scalp was laid open. He fell forward and cut his lip. Blood was streaming from his mouth as he emerged | from the place. A passer-by thought the man was suffering from a hemorrhage, the result of natural causes, and so did Detec- | tive Weedon, but when the latter took hold of the injured man he soon found to the jcontrary. Curtin, although im an_intox- licated condition and injured, was still in a fighting mood and not being able to whip the officer he tackled a reporter. He is now in the hospital and Mr. Marshall is under collateral for his appearance in court tomorrow. —— A Pont Office War. ‘Anacostia ts not the only town In the na- tion which is in the throes of a post office war. A Texas town is on the rampage. Awful threats are being made; hot words are hissing, scalps are coming off, and the office of the fourth assistant postmaster general is being snowed under with pe! tions and complaints. One of the applicants for the office has sent to the department an edvertising card issued by a rival appli- cant. The advertisement in question reeks with Mterary filth. The card was at once turned over to the post office inspectors, and the would-be postmaster will probably be prosecuted for sending obscene matter through the maiis.
