Warrington special says the approaching
elections form an absorbing topic OF
conversation here. and scarcely sAy-
thing else il talked Of. The conviction
Is almost universal that Tildsn viii bs
elected and that the Democrats will gain
several Congressman In New York. A
gentleman who has been familiar with
Pennsylvania and in Congress for many
years arrived here to-day from Philadsl.

time looking over the field. He 81.
presses the opinion that Pennsylvania
will go Democratic by . small majority
at least. Indeed. he says the Cameron
ians conceds this. II il believed that
Robbins, the Democratic candidate In
the Philadelphia district, whore both
Myers and Hammer (Republicans) are
running for Congress, will be elected
beyond q doubt. Judge Kelly ID likely
to have q close contest, ~ McGrath, his
Democratic opponent, Is appearing for

The Inter 0ccan's washington's spec
il says that enough is now known OF
the character OF the annual estimates TO
show that they will be moro than &c.
0)O. 900 less than for last years. Esti-
mates, both for public works under the
Engineer Bureau and these under the
Treasurer arc very much reduced. The
cost OF the navy remains about the same.
while the army in some OF its supplies
was cut below its real necessities at the
last session.
Secretary Bslknap has regulated by
estimate strictly in accordance with law.
Treasury estimates have been based
exactly upon what the House gave in is
last appropriation. The cost Of the In.
dian Service will not Be diminished.
The deficiency in the Postoflos Depart
ment will be increased owing to the
rapid extension and added facilities OF
the department.
As n total result. however, the rsduc-
tons are, as stated, something over tan
million dollars. The report Of General
Humphreys, Chief Engineer. has bean
submitted to the Secretary Of War.
Work in all directions during the past
season progressed finely upon the navy
and harbors, and upon ~fortiheations
much heavy work which has been In
progress for several years back IL nearly
completed. and the estimates In conss-
quence very materially reduced. The
fertilization Of harbou is being Gen.
fined, so far rs heavy works are con-
earned, to those harbsrs which can b
entered by ironclads carrying the mod
srn heavy rihsd ordnance, whose sue
cessiul entrance would sacrifice millions
Of dollars. Experiments with torpsdsss
have shown that very great reliance can
