THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: E— - IUESDAY, JULY 24, 1894, REORCANIZING THE NAVY Houso Gommitteo Has a Plan for Assigning Cfficers on New Lines, EFFECT OF THE SCHEME ON THE SERVICE Rloction of Sei People Discussed-Gas as a Propel- ling Force for Street Cars— nd of Kelly, WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE BEE. 1407 F Street, N. W. WASHINGTON, July 23, The special committes made up of three menators and three representatives, created for the purpose of creating a systematic re- organization of the navy, has completed jts work on the staff and line officers of the navy and the marine corps. It remains only to organize the enlisted branch of the service The entire scheme of naval reorganization will be reported to congress next week. In the reorganizations of the staff and line it 14 provided there shall be eight military corps, designated as follows: Corps of the Ine; medical corps, pay corps, engineer corps, naval constructors, naval cadets, enlisted mon. The list of commisaloned line officers 18 divided into several grades, with the fol- Towing lmits: Sixteen rear admirals, six captains, 100 commanders, seventy-four lieu- tenant commanders, 250 lieutnants, 750 lieu- tenants of junior grade; ensigns suficient to maintain the active list. The grade of commodore on the active list of the navy is abolished and officers in the grade now in the active list shall be com- missioned rear admirals. No Increase is made in the pay of any corps. The status of each Is fully defined and the contentlon of many officers as to relative rank of staff and line officers is remedled. The pay of staff officers I8 reduced to make it conform to that of the line officers of the same rank. One of the most Important features is the cre- ation of a ‘“reserve list” to overcome the present congestion of the line. The reserve st 18 limitd to 100, and is made up by tak- ing from the most congested branch of the service, Those entitled (o enter the list must have entered the service between 1861 and 1867, inclusive. This “reserve’ doss not in- orease the number of officers, and the pur- pose Is to assign officers of this list to work now performed by officers on active shore servico. It is reported that rear admirals shall be appointed by the president from the Hist of admirals, and shall be confirmed by the senate. ELECTING SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE. Representative Tucker of Virginla, the author and champlon of the resolution for a constitutional amendment to elect senators by direct vote of the people, which passed the house on Saturday, is sanguine that the senate will also pass the resolution and the necossary three-fourths of the states will glve thelr assent necessary to make it eftective. “There will be no difficulty in getting the aisent of the states,” said Mr. Tucker, “as there is no limit within which the senators are to give thelr consent. When, there- foro, congress submits the constitutional amendments, ten of them approve it and one objects. The ten afirmative votes -count in’its favor, but the one negative does not oount again't. That is, the state which has voted in the negative' may try again the next year. Thus only affirmative votes are rocorded at the State department, and then, after a series of years, If the affirmative votes reach three-fourths of all the states the consitution s amended. At present, with forty-four votes we should need the a:sent of thirty-two, The assent of fourteen Is assured ‘In advance, as eleven state legisla- tures had formally resolved In favor of the change up to two years ago and thres more since that time. California, Oregon, Indiana, 1ilinols, New York, Michigan, Kansas, Idaho, ‘West Virginla, Louisiana and Ohlo are among the states already committed. “Inthe meantime, while the states are giving this as ent, the amendment is practic- ally in force, as many states are nominat- Ing their senators at state conventions. Illinols started the movement, Michigan has recently followed and the practice will soon become universal. Senators Palmer and Mitchell are particularly interested in the measuro in the senate and I have no doubt of its pa:sage at this session or in the ses- slon opening in Decembe GAS MOTORS FOR STREET CARS, One result of the publication a few months ago of the promising performance of gas motors as applied to street car propulsion In Germany has been to flood the author of the report, United States Consul Mason at Frankfort, with letters from engineers and other interested persons asking for more data. In compliance with their requests the consul has just submitted another report describing experiments made in England with the same motor, which show even better Tosults, the cost of operation being so far below that of electrical or horse railways as to mark a new departure in street rallway mothods. The consul says the Liebrig patents have been acquired by an English syndicate and the motor has heen vastly improved in one way especially, whereby it may readily be adjusted to cars already Nuflt for” cable, electrical and horse power. The Teport gives in detail a description of the mechanism, showing how it operates with great economy under the vastly different conditions of heavy and light frafiic, and says that the improvements made ~have largely reduc:d its cost. The car resembles any ordinary horse car, running quictly and easily, emitting neither smoke nor steam, and s easily controlled, stopping on a down grade of one to twenty-threc in its own longth. Tts welght, filled with passengers, Is five and one-half tons and for gas It costs 2 cents per mile, against 7 cents per mile tor fodder and bedding for horses. The first cost is about the same as a horse car with eleven horses required to draw it. A speclal car 1s being made in England for exhibition in the United States next October. KELLY IN HARD LINES, Kelly's Commonwealers are camped near Washington in a starving condition. Being compelled to beg, some of them have been arrested for vagrancy. Judge Miller had a squad of them before him, and after reading them a vigorous lecture, let them go, ““You have been terribly misled,” sald Judgs Miller, “and everybody sympathizes with you, and there Js no one on earth who does not want to help you if you are really in earnest and want work. But the people won't help tramps and vagabonds. “This s a terrible state of affairs. Here you are, several hundreds In number, penni- less and without food, and here because of some crazy Idea in your head about what is to turn up.” Further questioning brought out the true condition of affairs. In the camp over the river, one prisoner said, there are several hundred men without tents, blankets, food or even spring water. At the time of this arrest. he said, he had been without food for more than twenty-faur hours, but never until he joined the army had he experienced such suffering. He expressed a desire to return in the di- rection of his home in the west, and Judge Miller sald he would certainly like to as- sist him back home. “I dou't want to send you to the work house,” the judge told him, “but if this begging keeps up that is just where you and your companions will have to go. “I heartily sympathize with you poor, misled men, but have not a bit of sympathy with your leaders. They are keeping you here in ldleness and starvation for their Qwn purposes. 1 1 lot you go what will you o2 Tl go over to ses Kelly and tell him I'm going home,” was his answer. NONE BUT AMERICANS ON GUARD. Senator Allen today introduced a resolu- tlon directing the secretaries of war and navy to Inform the senate what percentage, 1f any, of the enlisted men, non-commissioned and commissioned officers of the navy of the United States are aliens, and what per- centage are citisens of the United States by birth or naturalization. The senator also introduced a bill providing that hereafter no person shall be enlisted into the army, military or naval service of the United States Who s not at the time of his enlistment a citizen of the United States. A favorable report was today made from the senate committee on the judiciary on a bill providing that hereafter terms of the eircuit and district courts of the United States within and for the state of Nebraska shall be heid at times and places as fol- lows: At Omaha, on the first Monday in May and the second Monday in November of each year; at Lincoln, on the third Mon- day in Jandary and the first Monday in October; at Hastings, on the third Monday in April, and at Norfolk, on the fourth Mon- day In April in each year. The president today nominated Edward H. Hunter to be postmaster and Charles H. Robingon as pension agent at Des Moines. Tho comptroller of the currency has de- clared & second dividend of 30 per cent in tavor of the creditors of the Chamberlain National bank of Chamberlain, S. D., mak- ing in all §0 per cent om claims proved, amounting to $18,828, The comptroller has approved the selection of the following banks to act as reserve agents for Nebraska: First Natlonal bank, Lincoln, for Farmers and Merchants Nationai bank, Fremont; Nebraska National bank, Omaha, for First National bank, West Point.

Wright, ex-United States Senator Lyman Trumbuli of Illinois and ex-Collector of the Port of New York Dan Magone. WHAT THE STRIKE COST. Federal Government Must Foot Big Bills for Transporting Troops by Rall. WASHINGTON, July 23.—While residents of Cook county, Illinois, will undoubtedly suffer an enormous loss resulting from the disorder and lawlessness attending the great strike the taxpayers of the United States at large will also have a considerable bill to foot to meet the expenses incurred by the national government. That this will be con- siderablo there will be no doubt, but at present it is not possible for the accounting officers to reach even an approximate esti- mate of the total. July 14 the attorney general sent to con- gress a communication asking for a deficiency appropriation of $250,000 to defray the ex- penses of retaining United States marshals and deputies for service during the Common- weal movement and the strike. Now he is satisfled all this money and perhaps more will be required to meet expenses. A large number of deputies were employed and in many instances it was necessary to feed and shelter them at the government's expense. Arms and ammunition were purchased, car- riages and horses were hired and railway fares were paid. The War department also has been put to great expense, but just how much will not be known until the quarterly and special re- turns come to Washington. The troops car- ried with them the rations they would other- wise have eaten at their posts, so there is no additional expense on that score. The principal item of expenditure will be under the head of transportation. Tn some cases the railroad companies will probably present mo bills, especially where the troops were employed in the protection of thelr own lines, but in others, where the troops were hauled half way across the con- tinent, the bills will be heavy. The limited annual appropriation for the transportation of troops was at a low ebb when the strike occurred and in consequence of these extra- ordinary war expenses the War department has had to forego altogether lts usual prac- tice of transferring troops from one place to another, so much hardship will result to the troops stationed at posts in the ex- treme south and In the Indlan country who had reasonably expected to be transferred to less arduous service after serving their turn. SENATORS TALKIN T OVER. Demoeratic Steering Committeo Has a Lit- tle Consnitation After Adjournment, WASHINGTON, July 23.—Immediately after the adjournment of the senate today there was a conference of democratic leaders of that body in the room of the comr on approprintions. Among thoss prosent were: Senalors Gorman, Brice, Cov Har- ris, Ransom and Blackburn, comprising most of the democratic steering committee, The senators had a long talk, and when they departed no conclusion had been reached as to the best way out of the present delicate position in which the majority found them- selves, The proposition for a caucus was discussed, and some of the senators thought it would be wise to have a general confer- ence of democratic senators before any step was taken. The matter of calling a caucus was left for further consideration and will no doubt be discussed among other senators and their views ascertained as to the ad- visabllity of taking such action. Senator Vilas will insist upon his motion striking out the one-eighth of a cent differential on sugar and several senators will hold that it is incompetent to instruct the conferees to recede from any portion of an amendment as though it were an entire amendment. The point will be made that the conferees can be instructed on any item by the senate. WESTERN PENSIONS. Voterans of the Late War Remombered by the General ment.

Williams, Serafin Wunderle, Lou Wark, James Brown, Join Anderson and Timothy Healy, to enter lands near Oregon City, Ore. The ground of rejection was previous patent of the land to the Oregon & California railroad. The appeal of the Southern Pacific railroad in its case against James L. Brady, involy- ing lands near San Francisco, has been withdrawn. In the case of Il D. Childs against George Ayres et al, Secretary Smith bholds that le an entry under the timber culture law segregates the land from the public domain in protecting it from subsequent entrics, yet it cannct be said that the entryman Is the owner or proprietor of the land, having only an equitable title to it.

LINCOLN, July 23.—(Special to The Bee.) ~Mrs, Betsey C. Tibbetts, who resides In the northern part of the city, came into the police court In a very flurried state of mind this morning and asked the police force to go immediately in search of her daughter, who she says has eloped with Horace Chapon, a 19-year-old boy. It appears that young Chapon has been paying attentions to Miss Ida for some time past, but his visits to the house were dis- couraged by her mother, who thought her daughter too young to be made the object of the affections of any young man, as she is only 14 years of age. It was while the mother was at church yesterday that the young couple planned their presumable elope- ment. Not much attention was pafd to her absence from home yesterday, but when she did not return at night an investigation showed that a wedding wardrobe, consisting of two dresses, had been taken, while the father of the young man says that he had only $1.50 to his knowledge. The mother is much angered over the act of her daughter and says that some one fs going to have trouble on his hands, as Ida is under the age of consent and her mar- riage would be invalid. She has furnished the police a complete description of her daughter and it is thought that she will soon be returned to her mother's protectlon The funeral of “Johnnie' Patton, the well known operator at the B. & M. freight houss, occurred this morning from Roberls' unde taking rooms. The remains were escorted to the depot by the Lincoln light infantry and shipped to Emmetsburg, Ia. He died yes- terday evening at the hospital. His mother arrived about 6 o'clock, but he was uncon- sclous and did not recognize her. He has a large number of friends over the entire state, The daughter of the colored man Harri who has been confined at the pest house with the smallpox, died Saturday night and was buried in that vicinity. This is the last case of the disease reported and it is now thought to be entirely eradicated from the city. Secretary Dilworth returned from Schuyler and O'Nelll Saturday, where he had been to file the order to compel the railroads to put in transfer switches at those points. The petitions were not allowed to be filed in the supreme court and had to be taken to the district courts. The arrangements for the formal mustering in of the State band as a regimental band are about completed and the ceremonies promise to be very impressive. Friday even- ing is the time set for the occasion and the capitol building will be illuminated from top to bottom. HALL COUNTY EDUCATORS.

Shortly afterwards the same dodge was worked near Oskaloosa, Ia., and desoriptions sent from there an- swered to those of the Missourl sharpers.

A pre- liminary survey was made this week, how- ever, which shows that the object can be accomplished at a cost of probably $75,000, and as a large proportion of this cstimate is provided for in the labor which will be performed by the land owners, it is being y strongly agitated.
