ASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—In his annual report Engineer-in-Chief Melville urges an appropriation of $1.000,000 for a 5000-ton re- palr ship on the plan of the Vulean, but improved in detail. The force of engineer inspectors is sald to be entirely insuffi- cient and it is suggested that some of the younger line officers might be detailed to this d with much benefit to them- selves as well as to the service. The engineer-in-chief makes a strong argument against the proposed consolida- tion of naval bureaus, pointing out that in every large shipbuilding plant the bu- reau system prevails, to a more complete separation of the special branches of work than is practiced in the navy. of war are of such construction, in his opinion, that it would not be safe to trus: their design to any one man, with the prospect of his carrying out thereon his particular fads or experiments. There- | iore, he argues, the members of present Board of Construction are neces- | sary advisers to the Secretary of the| Navy and he asks the Secretary to with- | draw the recommendation made by him | 10 the last Congress for a consolidation. ] The engineer-in-chief expresses the | | opinton that the personnel bill was either | a mistake or the proper course has not | been taken to carry out its intent. i The condition of the steam engi-| neering - interests of the navy is| said to be even less satisfactory | than last year and It is urged that in no other way can relief be ob- tained than by the immediate assignment | to duty, as understudies and assistants to | the experienced engineers in the navy the | | younger line officers in as great numbers | as consistent with other duty. It ig claimed that success already has attended | the assignment of line officers to such | dutfes and that the practice should be ex- | tended. As a matter of fact there are now available 100 less engineer officers than just prior to the passage of the per»‘ sonnel bill, which act was intended to in- | crease their numbers. The suggestion 1is cadets be trained in en, made that naval | vessels are thoroughly modernized. A con- | siderable increase is wanted in the num- | ber of warrant machinists who have given general satisfaction. The estimates for The various navy yards and stations are as follows: New York, $66,58; Norfolk, $434,98; Bos- ton, $276,323; Mare Island, eague $352,625; 1 7; Portsmouth, $13,512; Port Washington, D.

According to the same authority Em- peror William has designated as the retir- ing Chancellor's successor Count von Bulow, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Although rumors had been current for several days that Prince Hohenlohe in- tended to retire, little credence was given to any of them, since such reports had returned periodically for several years past. The fact is that neither the Foreign Office nor any other Government depari- ment in Berlin knew until this evening of | | Prince_Hohenlohe's retirement and peror William's,approval of it. The rea- sons which induced the Prince to insist upon retiring were, in the main, his rapidly growing infirmities and his distinct disap- Proval of the Emperor's personal policy in China. To his intimate friends Prince Hohenlohe, during the last three months, has repeatedly expressed strong criti- cisms upon what he has called the “Kalser's sentimental and impulsive in- terference in the troubles in China.”” The Kolnische Zeitung asserts that Count von Bulow has also been appointed Prussian Minister and Foreign Minister. Nothing is known positively about Prince Hohenlohe's successor, although general | credence is given to the assertions of the Kolnische Zeitung res¥ecflng Count von | Bulow. The Berliner Tageblatt mentions Prince Eulenberg, German Embassador at Vienna, Prince Hohenlohe Langen- Duke Trechenberg as possible successors of the Chancellorship. Count Hatzfeldt, German Embassador in London, is also named. 1t is suggested that it Count von Bulow become Chancellor Prince Eulen- ze&-‘g might be assigned to the Foreign ce. e DOWIEITES PERSIST IN VISITING MANSFIELD and a Mob Threatens to Tar and Feather Him. MANSFIELD, Ohio, Oct. 17.—The Dow- feites are determined to thwart the efforts | to keep them out of this city, results may be serious. About three have been deported every day since Sunday. Three are known to be hiding here now and have been holding secret services. Elder Willlams of Benton Harbor, Mich., ! who was sent out of town Monday, rode in to-day on a bicycle and gave the police They sent him away on a train, but he said he would return every day, as he had been ordered to do so. Deacon Homer Kesler of Chicago, Dow- ie’s advertising manager, came in to-day and went to the courthouse to file his papers. The police took him to the rafi- road station, and_there he was rescued by three Deputy Sheriffs with a writ of habeas corpus. ~The deputies started for the jail with the elder and a crowd fol- lowed, throwing stones and clubs. Dep- uty Sheriffs Bell and Besler were struck by stones and severely injured. _The: reached the jail and Kesler was locked up and several deputies were placed. on guard. The crowd is collecting around the jail and other crowds with tar and feathers are scouring the city for the hidden elders. —— e To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo, Quinine Tablets.

There does not seem to be any prospect of the trouble being arbitrated. The congestion of boats Is now more seri- | ous. Hundreds of harges of provisions and merchandise remain unloaded, block- ing traffic serfously and affecting the mer- | chants who are awaiting the goods. The | strikers will be materially assisted by the | action of a leading nerchant who dis- | approved of the stand taken by the Em. plovers’ Association, He has made a deal direct with the men's union and hereafter | will do his own lighterage.

EFFORTS TO RELEASE CARTER FROM PRISON Brother of the ex-Captain of Engin- | eers Applies for a Writ of Habaes Corpus. LEAVENWORTH, XKans., Oct. 17.—A habeas corpus to release Oberlin M.
