PUBLIC BUILDING RINGS.
BREWSTER HOLDS ALOOF TO
GIVE ROBBERS TIME.

The Department Officials Run to a Cor
ner Where They Dare Not Erect Build
ings Without Regard to the None
tary Limits Drawn by Congress.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The Superyis-
ing Architect of the Treasury is troubled
by another question about the method of
conforming TO the Congressional bill in
the construction of public buildings. The
question now raised is in connection with
the public buildings to be erected in
Brooklyn, Denver and Louisville. In each
case about one-half the appropriation has
been already expended in the purchase of
the site. Now the question is whether
the Supervising Architect shall erect a
building which shall cost in each case
just the remainder of the appropriation
or whether he shall begin
building which may cost two or three
times as much as the balance of the ap-
preparation. For example, the BROOKLYN
site has cost $30S, 900. The whole appro-
priation was only 100000. A $500, 1000
building would not meet the needs of
the government at Brooklyn.
TO 90 To BREWSTER.
This question will be referred to the
Attorney General, together with the old
question decided recently by Acting Sec
retary Coon-namely, that the Supervising
Architect in continuing the construction
of buildings heretofore commenced shall
consider the latest Congression-
al appropriation as fixing
the limit of expenditure. This decision
changed the old practice of the Super
vising Architects office, which took
every additional appropriation after the
nrst as indefinitely extending the limit of
expenditures. This decision of Acting
Secretary Coon is what prevented the
Supervising Architect from going right
ahead in the cases of the new buildings
at Denver, Brooklyn and Louisville, and
beginning construction on a scale COM
mensurate with the cost of the site, re-
gardless of the amount of the origi-
nal appropriation in either case.
This question has also been re-
terred to the Attorney General. His de-
cisions are not expected before Congress
meets. By that time the public buildings
ring on the floor of Congress will have its
plans well laid for liberal additional ap-
preparations.

SUNK OFF NORTH CAROLINA.
Four Survivors Rescued from a Raft
Five Lives Lost.

Four survivors Rescued from Raft
Five Lives Lost.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The Signal
Station at Smithville, N. c., reports as
follows: 'The ninety-ton stern wheel
Mexican steamer Dos Hermonos, from
Philadelphia bound to Mexico, sunk off
Frying Pan Shoals at II O'Clock last night.
The Captain, two engineers, one deck
hand and the cook were lost. The re-
naming four of the crew were saved.
The Blanche, of this place, started tor the
wreck at u O'Clock to-day and picked up
the four survivors at 2 O'Clock this after
noon floating on raft three miles out at
sea. The wind was blowing a gale from
the northeast at the time of the sinking.
A deck hand reports that the raft fioated
within 300 yards of the Cape Fear life
saving station, but no effort was made to
save the four men. The survivors are
being cared for

THE BLAINE COLUMN,
Without seriously disputed States, stanC
as follows:
THE CLEVELAND COLUMN
md there is not a seriously questioned
tate in it-stands this Way:
BUTLER'S COLUMN
contains only six votes from Michigan.
THE BATTLEFIELD

The three great States in dispute are
Illinois %, New York 80 and Ohio 2S,
total of 81, filling the grand total of 401.
The Cleveland column will be seen to in
clude the solid South and three Northern
States-Indiana, Connecticut and New
Jersey-and the Republicans do not pre-
tend to claim them, except as possible
scratches. Wisconsin is given to Blaine
in the face of very general opinion that
him POI without Illinois, Ohio and
New York. The Republicans claim
West Virginia, with six votes, but the
claim is not held to be good, even by care
fUl thinking members of that party. The
Democrats claim Illinois, Ohio and New
York, and the Republicans do likewise,
both equally persistent and with reasons
apparently of equal value. Should the
Democrats carry either of the three
States, Cleveland's election is f0regone
conclusion, while, according to the same
figures, Blaine must carry all three of
them, together with Wisconsin, and the
loss of Wisconsin to Blaine would give
the place to Cleveland without New York,
Illinois and OhiO-always counting upon
fusion success in Michigan.
SAM RANDALL's OPINION.
In conversation with the writer the
Hon. Sam Randall said the figures here
presented were unjust to Cleveland. After
carefully footing up the columns and dis
cussing this ana that State, Mr.. Randall
said: II think it will be conceded that l
know something of the feeling in Penn
sylvania, and with every confidence in
the world l ask you to put that State,
with its thirty votes, in Cleveland's
column; and why do you attempt to
mislead Western people by placing
New York in dispute2 l tell you, we
will carry this State without any great
difficulty. AS to Ohio, l don't know so
much, but judging from the reports hear
at headquarters and read in the news
papers, haven't the slightest doubt that
it will go Democratic in November, what
ever it may do in October, when fixing
up State and local affairs will be the
principal object of the voters. From Illi-
nois the reports seem all our way, and
our people are resting easy about it. The
Southern States have 153 votes, and Cleve-
land will get them all.

Asleep on His Brothers Corpse,

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Joseph and John
Kluber, who arrived in this country from
drinks together on Saturday night. Joseph
had to drag his brother along the street to
his home, in Christopher street, as the
latter was intoxicated. On the way both
fell, and two hours later they were dis
covered by policeman. John was dead
and Joseph was asleep on his body.
During the evening the brothers had
visited Johns wife, a servant employed
on Fifty-ninth street. Joseph was held to
await the action of the Coroner.

CLEVELAND's CHANCES.
Every Prospect that He will Have Sew
eral Electoral Votes to Spare.

The election of Grover Cleveland to the
Presidency, says New York special to
the Detroit Free Press, seems assured, so
far as figuring at the present time is con-
cerned. On Sept. 1 your correspondent
determined to interview Democrats and
Republicans of national reputation, for
ten days, and get them to figure the result
by States, and thus present probably the
first detailed opinion of the campaign. In
all twentY-three gentlemen were inter-
viewed-thirteen Republicans and ten
Democrats. There are 401 votes in the
electoral college this year, made up of
thirty-eight States. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the fusion of Democrats,
Greenbackers and labor advocates in
Michigan will be successful, giving Cleve-
land seven and Butler six of the total
thirteen votes of that State. Thus there
remains really only 1896 votes in dispute,
and the winner must have 1913 of these, or
POI in all.

swINDLING SOLDIERS WIDOWS.
How Thomas Baker is Said to Have
Carried on Series of Frauds.

How Thomas Baker is Said to Have
Carried on a Series of Frauds.
Special officers of the Pension Depart
ment, says a Pittsburg special to the
Philadelphia Press, are collecting evil
dence against Thomss Baker, alias Brown,
now awaiting trial for swindling soldiers
widows and children out of back pension
money. Another case has been discov-
cred, the victim being woman living on
the South Side, and an additional charge
for the offense will be entered against him
in few days.
Baker played bold game. He always
fleeced the widows and daughters of SOL
diers. His plan was to learn where
woman had secured large back pension
and to go to her residence during the alb
sence OF any male relative. He would
represent that he was a government Off
Ger; assert that he had procured the PEN
sion through fraud; place her under
arrest and compel her to accompany him
on the next train which invariably left
in short time. His apparent destina-
tion would be Washington, d. c., but he
would stop at some large city and compel
the prisoner to occupy the same room with
him in a hotel. The next day he would
inform the victim that, upon examining
the papers, he had found that, as the fraud
was not extensive, he would release her
and give her sufficient money to return
home, but would keep the balance until
he had consulted the government authori-
ties.
He was captured at Wilkesbarre. He
had then been traced under six distinct
aliases.

VICTORIA RETURNS HOME.
Finding no Room for the Groom She
Leaves Again.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA dispatch re-
ceived to-day at police headquarters from
the Captain of the Yonkers police states
that Victoria MOrosini, who eloped with
Ernest j. Schelling, her fathers coach
man, voluntarily returned to the parental
mansion at Yonkers with her husband
this morning.
The return was the result of negotia-
tions that have been pending for two days
between the runaway couple and Mr..
Morosini. Mr.. and Mrs. Schelling, who
have been stopping in Troy since the
elopement, took carriage at the station
and drove to the MorOsini mansion. Mrs,
Schelling entered the house alone, her
husband remaining outside about block
away.
NO RECONCILIATION.
The young woman remained indoors
for about an hour. What occurred inside
is not certainly known, but it is believed
that the griet-stricken parents besought
their daughter to renOunce her husband
and come back to their care. The father,
however, absolutely refused to recognize
Schelllng as his daughters husband. The
daughter refused to give up her husband,
ana left the house to rejoin Schelling.
The newly married couple then proceeded
to hotel on Riverside avenue, where
they passed the night. Mrs. Morosinis
condition was reported as being eX-
tremely critical in the evening, and her
being able to live through the night was
doubted.
A Hong Kong dispatch says: Chinese
othclals explain that they at first fired
over the British gunbOat Zephyr, and
fired directly at her afterwards because
she refused to stop at the first shot.
Mrs. Schelling was afterward arrested
on charge of larceny preferred by her
father, in that she stole from her sister a
diamond brooch.
