THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1894-TWELVE PAGES, THE NAVY'S WORK| Some Facts From the Annual Re- port of Secretary Herbert. THE LESSON OF THE EASTERN WAR ——_—_+- -—_ Important Recommendations as to Improvements and Changes. —_— | -.- THE NAVAL OBSERVATORY Sahin The most important recommendation made by Secretary Herbert in his annual Teport is that Congress authorize the con- struction of three great battleships, of about 10,000 tons displacement each, to cost, exclusive of armament, not exceeding $4,000,000 each, and twelve torpedo boats, of from 1) to 300 tons each, to cost not exceeding an average of $170,000, The Sec- retary says that since his last report five splendid ships have been completed and tried and added to the naval list, three of which are capable of speed in excess of twenty-one knots, while two of them are the fleetest cruisers in the world. No Speed Pre mas. One tmportant change of naval policy is noted in connection with the advertise- ments for three new torpedo boats, soon to be issued. The Secretary says that no- speed premiums will be allowed on these boats; that the premium system undoubt- edly had its advantages when adopted, but the department is now convinced that the time has come when, with the experience gained, it may with profit be abandoned. The Secretary speaks in terms of deep regret of the loss of the Kearsarge, and to prevent the famous name from lapsing on the naval list he suggests that a battleship be built to perpetuate it. He also suggests that the renowned oid Constitution be put in repair and placed on exhibition at the Washington navy yard ar object of in- terest to patriotic Americans. The report tells at some length of what was done to cure the fault of lack of sta- bility in some of our new ships, and says that no further difficulty {s expected on this score. The Secretary has taken a cue from the battle of the Yalu, and says that he has given instructions that all but the most necessary woodwork must be re- moved from our ships. As all the guns for our new naval vessels are now neatly fin- ished, the report states that the work of constructing a sufficient reserve store should be commenced at once, and a proper estimate is submitted to that end. Attention {s called In thts connection to the fact that, although the government is annually expending a ‘ge subsidy for vessels such as the Pi ind New York, to secure their use in time of war, It has not a gun to put on them. At present, in ease of war, Great Britain could speedily arm her merchant marine on the great lakes and do us enormous damage, while, if we had @ reserve supply of guns, we could dominate these waters. A Significant Comment. On this polnt—of preparation for war in time of peace—the Secretary makes this very significant comment: “Tha latest and one of the most impres- sive lessons in all history is now being taught py China and Japan. A nation the ™most populous in the world, able to put millions of fighting men in the field, is now, after suffering many disasters, scour- ing Europe and America for munitions of war. It relied upon its numbers. Now it is buying discarded guns and discarded ammunition, whatever it can get, to aid it in repelling the assaults of a people vast- ly inferior to it in numbers.” Of naval armor Secretary Herbert says we have the best in the world, and the progress of our manufacturers has been remarkable, as they» have led all European makers. Notice of Secretary Herbert's in- tention to create a new naval station is found in a paragraph, announcing his pur- pose, now that nearly all of our cruisers are ready for service, to put into operation @ polley which will keep a number of cruls- ing vessels suificient for the ordinary needs of naval policing and the protection of our interests abroad on each of the six naval stations. The Secretary recommends that the en- listed force be Increased by 2,000 men, and he cites strong reasons for this increase. ‘The naval militia numbers 2,549 men, Mas- sachusetts leading with 448; its efficiency is said to have materially increased and the interest in it continues unabated. Praise of the Civil Service System. The Secretary speaks in terms of high praise of the workings of the civil service system in navy yards, and he says the labor has so increased In proficiency as to make It possible for the government to fairly compete with the private con- cerns In ship construction. The Secretary emphatically discountenances all proposi- tions to increase the number of yards, which, he says, would be in defiance of ali business principles. v Instrvetions have been {ssued to the ad- miral commanding in Astatic waters which, it is believed, will secure the utmost pos- sible protection to American interests, and explicit directions have been sent, both to the commanding officer of the fleet and to the intelligence officers on board the sey- eral vessels there, 23 to the manner in which they are expected to collect all such Protect American Interests. information as can be derived from the re- sults of naval battles fought in those wate: Valuable reports from these of- ficers < dy beginning to arrive. is attention to the r congressional sonnel of the line of the navy. The evils presented in his last report are even greater today than then, and wili increase until the situation becomes so that only the most stringent, and harsh meas- ures will suftice to remove them. He joins the Secretary of the Treasury in support of the movement for the transfer of the coast survey to the Navy Department. © Naval Observatory. In reporting the recent reorganization of the naval observatory, with Prof. Harkness in control, he says: “Prof. Harkness ts an officer of sclentific Under It be retired on the 17th 1599. Whether Congress ecretary of the Navy or ent the power to appoint a di- of astronomy at the end of Prof. ’ term, or even now, {s a question attainments and long experience. existing laws he for that body to consider. Prof. Harkness is believed to be fully competent to dis- charge the duties of the high position to Which he has been assigned. Whatever Congress may do, however, in so far as regards conferring the right to appoint a Girector from civil life, the department fs | firmly convinced that no law ought to be passed going further than this. ‘The three divisions of the naval ob- servatory Raval observatory plant, taken as an entity, © the control of a phould always be und Naval officer.

He Makes a Statement of His Claims— The Crisis of Affairs Expected Next Saturday. Correspomtence of The Evening Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., November 26, 1884. December 1 threatens to witmess the in- auguration of a dual government in Ala- bama, and serious consequences are ex- pected to follow. That day is set apart as the date for the Inauguration of the gov- ernor. William C. Oates, democrat, has been duly declared by the legislature as the legally elected governor by a majority of 27,582. He will be sworn in by Chief Justice Brickell of the supreme court. The other democratic state officers will also take then oaths of office. Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, three times a can- didate for gubernatorial honors, and as often declared defeated, announces that he ts the rightfully elected governor, and in an address to the people of Alabama, is- sued this week, says, “by the grace of God.” he will be tn Montgomery on tnaug- uration day to take the oath of office. Goy. Thomas G. Jones, the retiring chief executive, who Is also a democrat, and a man of an tron will and undoubted cour- age, announces that William C. Oates has been duly declared elected governor by the legislature, and the law makes it his duty to see that Oates is installed, and, “by the grace of Goa,” he will be. The Crisis to Come Saturday. There the matter rests at present. But tne crisis will come on Saturday, Decem- ber 1, and whether bloodshed and revolu- tion will result no cne ts yet able to tell. Capt. Kolb, in his address to the people of Alabama, ha. urged his followers to gather at Montgomery on that date in as large numbers us possible. And this is taken to mean that Kolb proposes to be well fortified in case an actual conflict of the opposing f~ctions occurs. Previous to the issuance by Capt.-Kolb of his mani- festo Gov. Jones had invited the state troops to attend the inauguration, and they will be there in large numbers to particfpate in the ceremonies incidental to installing Col. Oates into office. The troops will be under the governor's orders, and that they would obey his commands is not doubted. Any effort by the Kolb follow- ers to capture th» state house would un- doubtedly meet with resistance from the soldiers. In such an event bloodshed would be the result. Kolb’s Claims. Capt. Kolb bases his claims to the gov- ernorship on the allegation that frauds Were committed in the last election in the counties comprising the black belt ¢ec- tion of the state, which is composed of about a dozen counties, all of which in- variably send up the largest democratic majorities of any counties in the state de- spite the fact that they contain more ne- groes than any other section. He claims to have positive proof of fraud and as- serts that if the iegislature would enact a law whereby he could contest before that body for the office of governor he would prove his charges to the satisfaction of the legislators and be legally seated to the office which he claims. The democrats deny this and say that the election was wad and that Kolb’s claims are ground- jess. Two years ago when Kolb was defeated by Gov. Jones, Kolb claimed fraud and wanted the legislature to hear his con- test, and he says he was promised that a contest law would be enacted so he could bring his case up, but the law makers, the majority of whom were democrats, ad- journed without the enactment of a con- test law. The legislature is now in ses- sion, but it {s unlikely that @ contest law will be enacted and Kolb proposes to take seat by force this time. Kolb Talks. Capt. Kolb resides in Montgomery, but spends the greater part of his time in Bir- mingham, as this city is the headquarters of the populist party, to which he belongs, and. besides, his son, Reuben Kolb, jr., is manager here of the People’s Tribune, the state organ of the populites-Kolbite party. Capt. Kolb was seen today at the Tribune office, and when questiined, talked freely of his plans and purposes. When asked who he proposed to get to swear him as governor, the captain said: “Any justice of the peace in Montgomery county or any probate judge in the state is authorized to administer the oath of fice. I and my entire state ticket have been elected, and we will be sworn in by an authorized officer of tho law. I shall leave here on Thursday, the 20th, and will be in Montgomery December 1 to take the vath of office. If the legisiature passes a fair contest law, continued Kolb, that will settle it all. If not the trouble will be- gin.” What This Means. ‘This is taken to mean that Kolb intends to contest Oates’ seat if the legislature en- acts such a contest law as he desires, and if It does not he will insist upon being gov- ernor any way. “We are just demanding our rights, and, {f any trouble occurs, they (meaning the democrats) will bring it on themselves,” remarked the would-be gov- ernor. “Last Tuesday night,” continued ihe cap- tain, “at a caucus of forty-five members cf the legislature (populists), held in the sen- ate chamber, a committee of five was ap- jointed to draft a petition to the United Btates Congress setting forth the situation and condition in Alabama and asking them to re-establish the true republican form of government in this state. This petition | will be sent out to each county in the state for signatures. We expect to get the cig- natures of 100,000 white men and 50,000 col- ored men to it. We expect Congress to take some action, too, that will grant the de- mands of the petition. We propose to make the election methods of the organized dem- ocrats stink In the nostrils of the nation.” When asked how many men he exp2cted to asemble at Montgomery inauguration day in response to his call, Kolb sald: “I have no idea how many of our people will be there, but I think there will be several thousand. Many of them are too poor to go. I am daily recelving hundreds of letters indorsing my action, and I feel that I will have the hearty co-operation and aid of the rank and file of my people in this movement. I don’t anticipate any serious trouble, and we will not submit to any unlawful act. AN that ts done will be done in a lawful and peaceful manner.” “After you are sworn in, and in case the legislature fails to pass your contest | law, what will happen?” was asked. T can’t state. The future alone can de- velop that,” replied Kolb. Capt. Kolb said that he and his followers would not offer to capture the state house, and it is presumed that offices for the use of Kolb and his co-oficials will be secured as near the state house as possible. It ts rumored that the Kolb government may attempt to collect taxes from those covn- tes controlled by the populists, but noth- ing will be known definitely as to their plans after Kolb takes his seat. If mat- ters come to this the Oates government will take a hand. > IGNORANT OF THE LAW. Judge Ricks’ Plea on Cross-Examtiua- tion. Under a searching cross-examination by Chairman Batley of the congressional sub- committee at Cleveland Judge A. J. Ricks sitated yesterday afternoon and finally pleaded ignorance of the law regulating the collection of fees, the misappropria- tion of which he is charged with. He claimed to have collected fees while judge | which he earned as clerk. This was de- | nied, and it was asserted that they had not been earned. There was consternation among the six corporation lawyers who are defending the judge, and a lively tilt between Mr. Bailey and Judge Stevenson Burke followed, in which the latter came out second best. Judge Burke requested thirty days’ time in which to prepare explanatory papers. The committee allowed fifteen days. This closed the hearing in Cleveland, Chairman Bailey said that at the end of fifteen days a meeting of the House judi- ry committee would ——y consider the case, and that he would Present the matter in the House before t lidays. IN NORTH CAROLINA Board of State Canvassers Notified to Meet at Ruleigh. THERE WILL BE THREE CONTESTS Frauds Charged in Those Congres- sional Districts. THE LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM ee ees Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., November 26, 1894. Governor Carr notifies the state board of canvassers to meet here on the 20th in- stant. It will really do nc work that day, but will begin November 30, The board is composed of the guvernor, secretary of state, attorney general and two senators, one a democrat, the other a republican. The election returns have been received by the secretary of state, but will not be given out until the canvass is completed. ‘The only contests before the board are as to Congressmen in three districts. ‘Yhe democrats say that Republican State Chairman Hatton's statement to the na- tional committee that he wanted means to employ counsel to guard against intended frauds in the count was unwarranted by the facts. The populists,usually great ‘fault- finders, admit that the election was ex- tremely fair, as a geveral thing. It is said today that in the state senate there will probably be 12 democrats, 16 re- publicans and 22 populists, and that in the house the strength of the parties will prob- ably be 41 democrats, 32 republicans and 47 populists. The fusion majority over the democrats is thus enormous, the latter having, by the above gtatement, only 53 members out of 170 in the legislature. It is given out today by @ populist organ that some senators and represer.tatives will con- test, and equally certain that some of them Will be seated. Congressional Contesis, As to Congressmen, there are two con- tests in the third district, both Spears, re- publican, and Thompson, populist, claiming the election. The returns say Shaw, demo- crat, 1s elected by 1,118 plurality. In the second district Cheatham, colored, repub- Ucan, contests Woodard’s (democrat) elec- tion, and charges gross fraud, particularly in Halffax county, where he claims that 1,78 votes cust for him were counted for Woodard, whose majority, as returned, is 2,000. In the sixth district Martin, fusion nominee, will contest the election of Lock- hart, democrat, whose majority, as return- ed, is 446. Pearson, fusionist, in the ninth district, 1s elected by only 182 majority. He claims that $60,000 of money sent to settle Chero- okee land settlers’ claims was used against him. Pearson spent a great deal of his own money in the canvass. There is a great deal of talk about the matter of caucuses in the legislature. The latter meets the first week in January. There are some republicans who do not want the populists and republicans to hav @ joint caucus, certainly not on the qu tion of Senators. These declare that if such a caucus is held the autonomy of the republican party will be lost. One of those who hold this view and urge it earnestly is Robert M. Douglas. There are other republicai however, who earnestly favor a joint caucus. These desire to secure perfect accord with the populists, just as was secured during the jate campaign and at the election. Those holding this view are believed to be largely | im the majority, and their views will pre- vail; in other words, there will be joint caucuses. The advocates of the latter de- clare that there is no good reason why @ joint caucus should not be held to elect Senators, and that perhaps, as was 1e- cently the case in Georgia, the caucus will hear personally from the senatorial as- pirants. Work of the New Legislature. Richmond Pearson says that the chief results of the election and of the work of the new legislature will be as follows: “1. Jeter C. Pritchard, republican, and Marion Butler, populist, will go to the Sen- ate. The rank and file will not listen to anything else. “2. A plain, simple, honest election law will take the place of the present one. The law will be so plain that a wayfaring man, even though @ democrat, cannot err there- in. The purpose of the law will be to as- certain, assert and defend the will of the people. “3. A democratic system of county gov- ernment will be enacted in the place cf the present outrage on the name of de- mocracy. This law will throw safeguards and restrictions around every county and prevent bad men from domination (very- ‘he republicans wili have infinite satis- faction in proving that they have beon maligned during twenty-six years, and in demonstrating to the world that the bad legisiation and corrupt practices of 1868 are attributable not to the native and conscientious republicans of North Caro- lina. Although we have an appalling ma- Jority, we will allow no onslaught on the cherished institutions of North Caroiina. Her eJucational, charitable and penal insU- tutions are safe under the new govern- ment.” } Let the People Elect. An ex-secretary of the republican state executive committee tells me that the fusionists in repealing the county govern- ystem intend to let the people elect tes and commissioners and school committeemen; that they propose to abol- ish the offices of county superintendents and school boards, and to place upon the chairman of the county commissioners the duties of the school superintendent. An- other new feature which ts proposed is to have in each county a board of audit and finance, to be of the opposite political party to the commissioners, no draft on the com- missioners to be valid until approved by the board of audit and finance. Senatorial Aspirants. New aspirants for the United States Senate continue to “bob up serenely.” These are all republicans. None will con- the claims of populist Chairman Marion Butler. ‘The populists have a big force of members in the legislature, though intellectually far Inferior to the republicans, who have some of their strongest men. One of the leaders of the latter will be ex-Congressman H. G. Ewart, who is himself an aspirant for the Senate, and who 1s rather populistic in his views and much liked by the populists. But Pritchard’s friends continue to as- sert that he remains far in the lead in the senatorial race. Chairman Hatton of the republican state committee has some earnest supporters., These point to his campaign work and ‘also to the fact that he spent a good deal of his own money to prosecute the campaign. It is regarded as quite certain that one Senator will be a populist and the other a republican. But- ler will be here to direct the populists dur- ing the session. It 1s sald by some that Dr. Mott, ex-republican state chairman, ts to act as mentor to the republicans. He and Butter have had a conference. Dr. Mott is an original fusionist. He is much talked of for the senatorship, and not a few demo- ecrats are claiming that he will be one of the Senators. But while he has strong sup- porters, he also has active enemies, Some of the democratic papers are fn- timating that both the Senators may be republicans, and one or two newspapers have hinted that the democrats and popu- lists might get together to thus elect. But both of these statements appear to be merely suppositions. —_ Irresponsible Officer Retired. By an order issued from the War De- partment First Lieutenant B. C. Welsh, fifteenth infantry, stationed at Fort Sherl- dan, IIL, has been placed on the retired list. This has been done upon the recommendation of a retiring board, which found that the oMcer was mentally irre- sponsible, as evidenced by his slapping the face of his colo without provocation, when his command was doing service in the strike at Evansville, Ind. +e An Appointment.

LATE SPORTING NEWS TOMORROW'S GAME. t t This year, on account of theevenness be- tween the two big elevens, a great deal more of interest has been manifested in the contest, and In consequence preparations have been made to accommodate a larger crowd than usual. To fucilitate the han- dling of the concourse the ticket boxes will be opened at 12 o’cloek, the game begin- ning at 2 Admission tickets will entitle the holders only to the south bleachers, generally known as the right-fleld bleach- ers.

Usu- ally in the gathering together of families there are a host of young folk who need to entertain themselves, One game that I think is going to be unusually interesting is the escape from prison. It requires children who are “up” on geography, still if needs be, it is a lesson in the disguise of pleasure. The game proceeds after this fashion: A map is held by the judge, usually a grown person, or an older child; then two children are chosen and placed in separate corners. Save the judge: “Now, resent New York in this corner, ard, you are in Moscow im, want to get away and reach home by Thanksgiving day. You have gotten from behind the walls—but what is your direct- est route home?” Then Richard has to tell each sea, coun- try and ocean he crosses to get home for the turkey and cranberry sauce. If he can’t do it successfully, he must remain right on the spot in the floor where he stopped, until ke thinks out his escape. Other members of the game are placed in prisons at various parts of the country. The favorite jails now are located in China and Japan on account of the interest in the war. A leading question is “if you were put in a Yokohama prison, how would you get back to Pekin?” Soon the room becomes filled with pris- oners, all trying to get home; half of them are “stalled” in the center trying to think of the boundary line which brings freedom, others are just leaving the prison walls. It has tke same interest when gotten well into it as the southern children find in “Runaway Negro” or “Prisoner's Base.” When the game has been played fre- quently, those who join in get very famil- far with the junction of countries and learn many straight lines and clever jumps that had not appeared feasible be- fore. For those who are not quite con- versant with geography, easy tasks are given; for instance, to be placed in a Paris prison and find their home to Bos- ton. Some large games are to be arranged for Thanksgiving parties with favors for those who come out of three prisons suo- cessfully. pa UTES INVADE UTAH. They Leave Their rvation and Defy the Whites. Gov. West of Utah received letters yes- terday from the sheriff and other officials of San Juan county, Utah, asking for as- sistance in driving out 500 Ute Indians. These Indians have come over from Los Pinos agency in Colorado, bringing with them 10,000 sheep and 4,000 cattle. They state they were sent by Indian Agent Day, who told them they had a right to occupy these lands. They have driven the set- tlers from the grazing lands, and announce they will fight rather than return to Colo- rado. About 300 Navajo Indians have also left their reservation in Utah, and seem to have formed an alliance with these Utes. There are not sufficient white set- tlers In the country to cope with the In- 4 ‘They ina belligerant mood, and the settlers are getting alarmed. Gov. West Immediately notified the Secretary of the Interior and asked that troops be sent to drive the Indians back to Colorado, PAY OUT THE SILVER. Congressman Biand’s Advice Regard- ing Greenbacks and Treasury Notes. In response forwarded to Mr. R. P. Bland, asking an expression of the bond issue, the following was reteived by the St. Louis Post Dispatch yesterday: “LEBANON, Mo., November 26.—If the Secretary of the Treasury would exercise his option to pay out silver for greenbacks and treasury notes issued under the Sher- man law, there could be no drain of gold from the treasury. The government of France does, and keeps all her money at par. This bond issue business looks like an attempt to force Congress to retire our treasury notes and to substitute a system of national bank currency. The fight is still on between the advocates of the free coinage of silver as the true mode of cur- rengy reform and the adherents of the na- tional banks. It is proposed by the latter to farm out to corporations the power to control the value and volume of money. Surely the money monopoly of this country now thinks it is in the saddle, but time wiil tell whether the people or monopoly are to rule this country. “Yours, truly, R. P.
