Building up Her Navy,


POWERFUL SHIPS OF WAR CONSTRUCTING FOR
SPAIN IN GREAT BRITAIN,
There was yesterday received at the Navy
department from the Secretary OF State COM
munication forwarded to the Department of
State by United States consul in one of the
British ship-building ports announcing that the
consul had secured information that immedi-
ately upon the breaking out of the difficulty be-
tween the Spanish and German governments.
growing out of the occupation of the Island of
zap by one of Bismarck's gunboats, the ennis
sarles OF the Spanish government had visited
the sh1p-buildtng centers of Great Britain, and
had contracted tor the immediate construction
and armament Of five cruisers for which they
agreed to Ply $6,OOO,OOO. The vessels are to
be d; built on the most approved modern designs.
with the object of obtaining great speed ar
rangements have been made to supply the
cruisers with the most effective machinery that
can be built in Great Britain, and they are to
be armed with the very best long-range light
guns: According to the consul these vessels
are all on the stocks and are being pushed rap
IDLY toward completion. The name of the
spanish government does not appear in the
contract, but they are apparently being built
Tor private parties or for sale to any one who
may want them.

could be? He was in that sense. Mr.. Cleve-
land was not going into Ohio matters Hoadly

spoilsmen say what they please. The business
men, the great interests of the country and
national prosperity and honor, are more to him
than the howlings Of a political gang, whether
In Ohio or anywhere else.

THE DISTRICT OFFICES.
Candidates and Their Friends Growing
Anxious November Approaches-
The Latest Gossip.

Those who are particularly interested In the
District appointments grow more anxious as
November draws nearer, for IL is generally be-
lieved that early in that month the President
will begin making the long expected changes.
Some, however, are OF the opinion that
he will delay action until the Novem-
Der elections are over At the White House
nothing definite can be learned. The answer
which has been reiterated for months, THE
President has not yet taken the matter up"
still holds good. The President, while not
having taken the matter under consideration
with view of disposing of IL, has no doubt
paid more than passing attention TO the
names proposed To him. 1t is said that he Is
being advised by Mr.. W. W. Corcorau and Rev.
Byron Sunderland. There is no reason 10 dis
believe this, particularly so far as Mr.. Corcoran
Is concerned. Ii has always been conceded
that his Judgment upon District matters had
great weight with the President. IL is
also said that the President has assured several
gentlemen of prominence who have called upon
him about the District appointments that he
would give the most careful consideration TO
every name proposed, and would not make any
appointments without informing them OF his
intentions.
Mr.. VIM. Dickson called upon the President
to-day, but assured a STAR reporter that his
visit was not In any way connected with Dis

Brothers as Rivals I'm Love-


COMING TO BLOWS OVER THEIR RESPECTIVE
CLAIMS TO YOUNG LADY's HAND.
Emma Gougler is q pretty girl residing in
Upper Saucony, Lehigh county, Pa. and there
are number of young men who are in love
with her. Among her admirers are two stall
wart brothers named Schelley, young lime
dealers of that district. Wednesday night
being lovers night, one of the brothers called
early, and was being entertained in the parlor
by Miss Gougle, when there was q wrap at the
door. The lady answered, and warmly well
coined the new conner, who was the other
brother. Both young men gloomily took seats,
and the young lady entertained them by sing
ing and playing. Finally the men took up the
object OF their visit, and each claimed that the
other should leave and 60 home: The lady said
both could remain. The men became loud in
their arguments, and the family upstairs was
aroused, and the father sent word down that
there must be less noise. This, however, had
no effect. He went down himself and drove the
suitors outdoors. The elected brothers, angry
with each other, very soon came TO furious
blows. The girl came out and rushed between
them to stop the fight, but before she subdued
them both had been very badly battered. Both
are determined to have the girl, and the neigh
bOr6 fear q tragedy.
