political conspirators and assassins who
have sprung from the ranks of the teacher

the famous plot of 1871, was an ex-profes.
sOr of the University ef Moscow. One OF
Netchaieff,s ablest colleagues has held a
similar position in that of Dorpat. The
Imperial University of St. Petersburg has
armed more than one hand against the
Minister of Police and other leading offic-
ers. Kieff, Kazan, DOrpat, Moscow, st.
Petersburg, formed the conspiracy of the
five universities" in 1872; and more than
one dangerous plot in the earlier part of
the century is traceable to the same source.
In fact. it may be said that in Russia, as
in France, the adherents of Monarchy are
to be found chiefly among the country
population, and those of republicanism
among that of the cities. OF the 81 600, :

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Annual Report OF Secretary THOMPSON.

Annual RopOfG Vi OST0bdIy IAOLupSOus
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Mr. Thompson,
Secretary of the Navy, has completed his an
nual report. From this it appe ars that there
are now SO vessels of the navy in good condi-
ton for action in case of need, and that there
are 20 tugs which could be used in an emerg
ency. The total effective force of the navy he
places at so vessels, which he regards as ample
for all our requirements. In view of the wear
and tear of material, however, he asks Con-
gress for an appropriation of $3,OO0,00O for the
construction of new vessels, with which, he
thinks, he can build six vessels upon new
models He has built no new vessels under his
administration, as he could not cOnStrue the

the stocks have been rebuilt under the repair
act, and are practically new vessels. He con-
sders that it has been wise policy for our
government to permit the question OF building
war-Ships to remain unsettled for some time
Meanwhile England has been making costly
experiments of which the United States may
take advantage Mr.. Thompson considers that
iron vessels are doomed; that no iron plate can

that when hole is once made i'll an iron YES

ALTERING THE RETURNS.
The Unlawful Act of a Democratic
Town Clerk.
A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION OF THE
COUNCILS REFUSAL TO SHOW THE
RETURNS.

BANGOR, Nov 26.-The Wing will tomorrow
morning state that Mr.. Boutelle OF the Repub-
lican state committee has just obtained direct
and positive evidence that the Democratic
managers have been secretly substituting al
tered and amended election returns contrary
to law. The Constitution and law requires
that the returns sent to the Secretary of State
by the town clerk shall be signed and sealed
up in open town meeting.
Mr.. Boutelle has evidence that the clerk of a
certain Democratic town in one of the threat
ened counties forwarded his return Immediate
ly after the election in precise accordance
with his record. AS late as the second week
OF November this clerk was informed by the
other town officers that prominent Democrat
requested new return to be made, as there
was some trouble with the returns from that
and other Democratic towns. The clerk did
make new return which was forwarded
about the middle of November, in which he
corrected the errors and supplied the omissions
complained of, although the town record still
shows them just as they appeared in the origi-
nal returns. If this late return has been sub
stituted for the original a palpable fraud has
been committed, and the fact that compari-
son of returns with the record would at once
have exposed such tampering may explain the
persistant refusal to permit the Republicans to
see the returns.

Gladstone Savagely Attacks Beacons-
field
EDINBURGH, Nov. 26.-In his speech last
night, Mr.. Gladstone said the country had
been and was now in great danger, growing
out of the hollow, shifting and insincere policy
of the Beaconsfeld government. He said that
a more reckless. personal and ambitious policy
than that of Lord Beaconsfeld had never dis
graced the history of England. The man now
in power in London cared little or nothing
what became of the true interests OF the realm,
so long as his own schemes were carried out
He pointed to the war in Afghanistan, the
late war in South Africa, and the present Sc
rious trouble in Ireland. which might possibly
result in civil war and the general misery
and discomfort among the working classes in
England and Scotland, as proofs of what he
said, and cited facts and figures in illustration
of them. He had no confidence whatever in
the reports of an early dissolution of Parlia-
ment. 1t would be postponed indefinitely by
Beaconsfeld, in the hope that chance might
thereby be afforded for that veteran trickster
and political posturer to send up more Cab
met surprises and illuminate the dark sky
with further displays of diplomatic fireworks.
A special says that Gladstone tomorrow will
speak at West Calder, Scotland, where the en-
thusiasm to hear him is SO great that they
have built a temporary hall. There is no
place in town affording room for the expected

GENERAL GRANT.
The Presidency Of the Nicaragua
Canal.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-M. De Franco is
here for the purpose of comforting with Adj
miral Ammen on Nicaragua Canal matters.
Being asked what bearing on Gen. Grants
political future the acceptance by him of the
presidency of the canal company would have,
he said: sit would take him permanently out
of politics. He will be rendered the Office
with the understand lg that he is to fill it un-
til the completion of the canal. He would not
be expected to resign if nominated by politi-
cal convention next year but rather to decline
any political nomination. That would be the
understanding, and it is upon this basis that
foreign capitalists now interested in the pro-
ject are DESTROYS to put their money into it"
Being asked him if he thought Gen. Grant
would under these consideration accept the
office, NJ. De Franco said yes. They had le-
Gently received letter from him saying THAI
he would accept provided he was satisfied that
the company was on solid business basis and
would carry out the proposed work, and these
requirements, M. De Franco said, would be
met He fully expected therefore, that Gen.
Grant would identify himself with this work
He would gain nothing in lame or fortune by

wildly to the stairways, down which they
hurled themselves in the greatest confusion.
The pressure was SO great on the stairs be-
tween the second and ground floors that the
banisters gave way and several children were
precipitated to the floor below. Three were
badly hurt. That some of them were not
killed outright is marvellous. A teacher, in
her heroic efforts to stay the rushing tide at
the head of the stairs, was traupled upon and
fire was trifling
