There has been no material change in
the conditions of the national contest
within the past twenty-four hours
The announcement of complete and IN
questionable Democratic victory is held in
allegiance because Of the dissemination of
the Republican National Committee to
acknowledge defeat There are a few
cries Of fraud, but they seem to be made
on general principles and without tangible
facts to back them.
Il is a noticeable fact that the few
prominent Republican papers whiehst still
pretend to manifest belief in Blaine having
carried New York do not howl any about
the figures which they allege constitute
his plurality. All they want is the
official count, which will be had next
Tuesday. Whichever way it goes they
say they will then he satisfied.
1t can only GO one way aud that is for
Cleveland, who has honestly received a
plurality.
Among the hundreds oftelcgrams and
letters Of congratulation received by
Cleveland yesterday, was one from VIM.
H. Vanderbilt Gar Billy talks in a
homely but very sensible way, as will be
seen from his letter, published else
where.
The Wall street men are p~ayingthc bets
which they made on Blaine and business
has resumed its ordinary course every
where throughout the country.
BY next Tuesday night the great con-
test will be settled by the official count in
New York, and the people will then know,
what they believe now, that Grover Clevc-
land has been elected Presideu, of the
United States.

THE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
Association of New Haven Hold Meet
ing-Letters from Prominent DEM
ocTats.

New HAVEN, Conn, Dec r.
At meeting of the New Haven civil ser
vice reform association tonight. a motion
commencing President Arthurs policy was
passed, and letters received from democratic
Congressman and Senators were read. Three
questions were sent out, the first asking if
the civil service act of 1888 relieved the
members of Congress from the opportunities
of office seekers and gave more time for
official duties. %, Is the act effective? Sd,
Do you favor the repeal of the act of 1920?
To these questions Congressman Mitchell re-
plies. To the first, Yes" To the second
he says: Il do not think it meets with that
hearty cooperation desired by the members
of the civil service reform association" To
the third he answers Yes"
Abraham S. Hewitt answers the first ques-
fion that the act of 1888 in no wise relieved
him. but that was due in part to the change
of administration promised by the recent
election. While the republicans were in
power /, as democrat, we're not troubled by
office seekers. To the second question be
says that he believes civil service is working
well and to the third he answers. 'Yes.
Senator George II. Pendeton writes The
law has already accomplished much good in
establishing a merit system, and the time of
members of Congress is less occupied by
Office seekers. His expectations have been
more than realized. 81 think" he says,
that we may have the fullest confidence that
the president-elect will in his new field of duty
be as faithful to the principles of this reform
as he has shown himself to be while mayor
and governor; that he will rigidly enforce the
provisions of the law now on the statute
book and gradually extend their application
to the whole subordinate non n-political SER
vice. As necessity for additional legislation
shall appear it will be promptly and intelli-
gently recommended. The system has grown
rapidly in favor with members of Congress,
and in this think they only reflect the views
of their constituents, and its being benifcial
to reform will surely commend it more and
more to the good sense and patriotism of the
people. Its original friends have every
reason to be encouraged, but this encourage
ment should only stipulate them to increased
exertion.

BUMPED TOGETHER.
How Schooner Smashed an Ocean
Steamer on the Atlantic.
PROXInENCE DE

PROVIDENCE, Dec. ~.
Capt. Vesper of schooner Nathan Ester
brook, jr., which was in collision with the
English steamer Guilford, off Shinncook, l.
l., came to this city this morning on tug boat
Walter E. Sutton and left on the first train
for New Haven. He gives the following ac-
count of the accident:
At about midnight, Wednesday, when some
20 or % miles to the southwark and westw ard
of Shinncook light, steamer was sighted
approaching. The schooner was sailing in
southwesterly direction of the wind and on the
starboard tack, in nautical terms, with her
starboard tacks aboard, which by the rules of
the road gave her the right of way. The night
was sufficiently clear for the lights to be seen
long distance. The captain of the schooner
saw the steamer lights and supposed she
would go clear. Instead, they came bow on
The stern of the Eastebrook, which was
high out of water, the vessel being light struck
the port bow of the steamer, staving her in
The headgear of the schooner was carried
away and her stern crushed in. Undoubtedly
had she been loaded she would have been
sunk. As soon as the vessel struck the
steamer the vessel came round, and in pass
ing the schooner's starboard side was raked
fore and aft and her rail crushed in at sew
eral places.
w uife tDt Nessels were dlO0gSlue the
crews of each were jumping one to the other
for safety, and on parting, the steamer car
ried away one of the schooner's men, while
three of the steamers crew remained on board
the schooner. Captain Vesper denies the
statement that after the collision he sailed
away, leaving the steamer to her fate. On the
contrary, he wore ship and tackled ship in the
neighborhood for two hours, burning flash
lights in the meantime so that the steamer
might not loose sight of him. When, finally,
the steamer again passed him, hailing him
and saying that they were all right and would
proceed to New York, Captain Vesper shaped
his course for a harbor and came into Nara
gansett Bay, where he anchored his vessel,
last evening. lie thinks neither of the YES
sells were in danger of sinking The dam
age to the Eastebrook, while considerable,
is not serious, and she will probably be
towed to New Haven for repairs.

FROM WASHINGTON.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF the Committee of the National Acad.
emy of Science.
WASHINGTON. Dec. Ia.

ASHlNGToN, Dec. IL.
The report of the committee of the nation
al academy of sciences upon the organization
of the signal service geological survey of the
coast and the geodetic survey and hydro
graphic office of the navy department is made
public by the joint commission of the tive
houses of Congress, to which il was referred.
A collection of these organizations under
consideration, together with such other seien-
tific bureaus as Congress may see fit to in
clude 10 the scheme under one central author
ity, is advocated, this authority to be recog-
nized as responsible for and controlling gen
orally the scientific operations of the gov
ernment. The best form of such authority
would be, perhaps, the department of science,
the head of which should be an administra-
tor familiar with scientific affairs. The next
best measure would be to transfer all such
work or bureaus to some one of the execu-
tive department. The several organizations
under the consideration could most advanta-
geously be divided into four bureaus
viz: First, the coast and interior survey to
consist of the present coast and geodegetic
survey.
Second, the geological survey to comprise
the present geological survey.
Third, the meteorological bureau, to which
should be transferred so much of the present
personal and functions of the chief signal
office as are not necessary to the military
duties of that Office.
Fourth, physical observatory to investi-
gate the laws of solar and terrestrial radia-
tion and their application to meterology with
such other investigations in exact science as
the government may assign to it. The func-
tions of the bureau of weights and measures,
now performed by the coast survey, could be
advantageously extended so as to include the
electrical measures.

Protection.

HELENA, Mont Dec. -.
The Herald will print tomorrow letter
from Gen'l jos. 5. Brisbane, president and
chairman of the national executive COM
mittee of cattle men, explaining the objects
and purposes of the St. Louis convention
The General declares that free ranges are no
longer practicable or desirable and says that
the majority of the cattle men of the United
States favor the leasing of the public grass
lands, Texas cattle trail. and an annual in
dustry bill. The statement is made that one
sixth of all of the cattle heards west of the
Missouri river are owned or controlled by
Englishmen, who feed the cattle on free
American grass, and are gradually driving
Americans out of the cattle business. The
letter appeals to the people and to Congress
to protect the American cattle growers
against foreign capital and favor cheap beef
for home consumption.

BALTIMORE. Dec 12.
A steamer which arrived this morning from
Rsppahannock river, Va, reports fearful
loss of life among the colored oystermen on
that river in the storm Tuesday last. About
25 colored men were out in boats longing for
oysters when the storm arose. The gale cap
sized almost all of them, and those which
escaped were unable to reach the shore in
safety. Many of them clung to the boats
for a time, but were finally washed away and
drowned. Very few of the men escaped
Eleven bodies have been found and as many
more are reported missing
Additional intelligence from Rappahannock
is that 10 canoes started from the Lancaster
side above Ubsns, to go to a schooner on the
Middlesex shore to sell oysters. when the
storm struck them. There were three or
four white men in the party, and the whole
number drowned was 27. Two more bodies,
thirteen in all, we're recovered near Mill
Point, further down river.

Glove Fight m Boston.

DUSION- DC. II.
At the rooms of the Crib Club tonight
Jack Green of Boston and LaBlanche, ''the
Marine" faced each other in a glove fight of
six rounds for purse of $3.50. The con-
test provoked some of the hardest fighting
ever seen in Boston. The first three rounds
were strongly in Green's favor, Marine
being badly punished and showing signs of
grogginess. In the fourth round La Blanche
got his Second wind and from that out he had
decidedly the best of the fight. Green was
numerically pounded and repeatedly knocked
down. The match was declared a draw,
although La Blanche showed himself the bet
ter man. Near $50 gentlemen were present.
