WASHINGTON.
Naval Investigation.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The commit
tee.on Expenditures in the Navy Depart
ment called upon the Secretary of the
Navy Saturday morning and informed
him of their purpose to make Thorough
investigation of the accounts under the
administration of Secretary Robson,
and especially into the transfer of funds
appropriated for the pay of the navy
into other hands. Secretary Thompson
assured the committee that he would
cheerfully give them every facility.
The committee also informed him that
they desired to recommend a reduc-
tion of expenditures of the Department
wherever it may be found practicable,
and the Secretary responded that he
would be happy to cooperate. A con-
fict of jurisdiction in regard to the
proposed investigation is likely to arise
between this committee and the COM
mitteeon Naval Affairs, of which With
thorne is chairman. The committee
on Appropriations may also claim
jurisdiction. The matter of jurisdic.
tion was decided in the Naval Affairs
committee this morning. There is a
probability that it will be brought be-
fore the House.

GEN. GRANT
Gives the Lie Direct.

Chicago, Nov. "a New York dis
patch says: In an interview with Gen.
Grant, yesterday, the conversation
turned on an interview published in
the London World and copied into the
Herald, in which the General is repre-
sented as casting reflections on Mr..
Vanderbilt. He requested the cores
pondent to state that the interview
published by the World is absolutely
false, and that he has never given ex-
preston to the statements contained
therein. Gen. Grant was very indig-
nant at this Misrepresentation and gave
expression to his feelings in very strong
language. He said he had never made
use of an expression in any way dispar
aging to Mr.. Vanderbilt to any person
connected with the London World, or
to any one else. On the contrary, he
had ever entertained feelings of respect
and friendship for the Vanderbilts,
father and son, and had invariably ex-
pressed himself to that effect whenever
he had occasion to say anything of
them.

COUNTING CHICKENS.
Election Returns Already Pre-
pared.
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylva-
MIA Considered Doubtful.

New York, Nov. 3.-Election prog
nostications continue obscure and con-
flicting. The best opinion is that the
Republicans will preserve their control
of the New York State Senate but lose
the State ticket, with the possible
chance of saving their Secretary of
State and Attorney-General, because
of the detection of Tilden's friends
and the anti-Tammany faction. On
the other hand there is among Republic
cans much fear of baneful influence of
the feeling voiced in the Evening Posts
suggestion that New York and New
Jersey Republicans who vote for the
State tickets of their. party, must do so
with the knowledge that if these tick
cts are successful, the Republican enc
mics of the administration will accept
the result as triumph for Conkling
and Robson, rather than of the higher
principles for which President Hayes is
contending. In the local contest here
between the Tammany Democrats and
the allied Republican and anti-Tamma-
ny forces, the regulars seem likely to
achieve the larger success, as there is
no general hearty cooperation by the
Republican masses in favor of the coa-
lition.
In Brooklyn there are great hopes that
the coalition between the Independents
and Republicans will overthrow the
long dominant ring and elect John f.
Henry, the well-known druggist.
Gen. Mcclellan and his friends in
New Jersey are somewhat less conf
dent of his election than they were,
although they think the Workingmen's
opposition is greater in noise than in
numbers.
In Pennsylvania the Republicans
will loose the state probably, and in any
event will have a greatly reduced major
ity, unless the Observation-Disclosures
Labor party movement shall be as
formidable as its leaders profess to
believe and derive its support chiefly
from the Democracy. This factions
platform calls for interconvertible
bonds and favors the protection of in
ternal improvement and subsidies to
steamships. Blanton Duncan, who has
been stumping in that interest, claims
that their vote will astound the poll
ticians. lie estimates that it will be

counties, and 10000 in Philadelphia,

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Woman Poisons Herself and Chill
dren-The Bodies Burned.


Chicago, Nov. "a Times special
from Sparta, Wis, says news has just
been received from Milton of Il horrible
affair there on Thursday night. Mrs.
VIM, VanVoorhees. n woman with
three young children and about to be-
come mother again, had, after living
unhappily with her husband in their
home on the outskirts of the village,
been deserted and left desolate and
Respondent. She frequently spoke of
suicide to n neighbor, who prevented
her from purchasing poison. On
Thursday night, about 0 O'Clock, her
dwelling was discovered in flames, and
when the neighbors reached the house
and burst in the doors, they proceeded
to her bedroom, where n sickening
spectacle greeted their eyes. The
mother, nearly naked, lay with her
face down in the bed, with her two
youngest children in the same position
by her side. The hair, scalp and por-
tions of the arms were burned off from
each, and the blazing rafters from
above were falling down upon them.
The body of the oldest boy, aged ten
years, was found behind the bedroom
door, burned to n crisp. Blood was
found spattered OH the bed clothes and
on the mothers garments. Appear
ances indicate that the woman had
poisoned herself and her children, and
that life was extinct before the flames
reached them. No marks of violence
could be seen upon the bodies, but the
matter is being rigidly investigated.

The Right to cutFeovsrnmsn, Timber.


The opinion Of the United States
District Court for the District of Min
nesota, by Nelson, j., holds that the
right to cut timber on the public do
main by homestead settlers is limited
to purposes of cultivation. In all new
States the question Of cutting Govern
ment timber has troubled the Govern
ment officers. Men who would not
steal a chicken for the world, thought
it was no crime to steal Government
timber. We are reminded of Meth
odist Conference which was held at an
early day in Illinois. A minister who
had Just come into the country, and
was the possessor Of a stove-pipe hat
and broadcloth coat, got the floor,
and said: 81 am against stealing in
every shape, and therefore move the
adoption of the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That in the opinion of this
conference it is just as sinful to steal
Government timber rs any other kind
of property" A minister who was
dressed in a homespun suit arose in
great haste and said: SIT is evident
that the brother who introduced this
resolution is a new conner, and does not
know the wants and necessities of this
community. move that the resolu-
tion be laid on the table," and on the
table it went by large majority.

HENRY SPAULDING has sued the
Pennsylvania R. R. Company for $780,
600. He alleges that he rode from
Newark to Elizabath, and surrendered
his ticket to a conductor. Instead of
getting off at the latter point, he con-
tinued on the train to Jersey City.
when another conductor attempted to
charge him sixty-one cents for the
additional distance. He refused to
pay, and was locked up in Jersey City
over night; hence the suit for damages.

MISSOURI.
Burning of a Steamer.

st. Louis, November 3.-The steamer
Bismarck, lying just below the south
wall of the arsenal, three miles below
the center of the city caught fire about
noon to-day and, in a short time, was
totally destroyed. The origin of the fire
is not known, but as the flames were
first seen issuing from the forward
part of the cabin, the presumption is
that it caught from sparks from the
locomotive on the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern railroad, which
runs with one hundred yards of where
the boat lay. The Bismarck was owned

All Souls Day in Paris.

Paris, Nov. 3.-In the course of the
day Gen. Grant drove out to see the
cemeteries, and spent some time ex-
amining them. He was greatly struck
with the exquisite taste displayed in
decorating the graves, and yesterday
being the Jour des Morris, he had an
opportunity of seeing the Parisians in
one of their best moods. On that day
business and politics are forgotten and
thousands of citizens clad in holiday
attire throng the cemeteries to strew
flowers on the graves Of departed rela-
tives and friends.

majority for the bill remonetizing silver.
The Finance Committee will recon-

however, the Senators very decidedly
oppose the repeal of the resumption
law as unwise and improper. The
same is true of the Senate Finance
Committee.

armed with lance and musket, which
latter they discharge at full gallop.

Grant Eulogizes Morton.

Paris, Nov. 3.-The General eN-
pressed deep feeling at the sad news of
Senator Morton's death. He said that
Mr.. Morton was one of the worthiest
and most illustrious Americans of re-
cent times, and he spoke in terms of
the highest praise of the energy, activ-
ity and ability he displayed during the
country's trials. But for Mr.. Morton's
ill health, he said he would haye ap-
pointed him Chief Justice after Mr..
Conkling had declined the appointment.
