Suggestions and Comments in Secre-
tary Whitney's Report.
The Secretary of the Navy, in his annual
report, made public yesterday, devotes con-
siderable space to the reorganization of the
navy. He reviews the steps taken by him
towards effectlDg this reorganization, and of
the board appointed to take an inventory
Of the stores in the various yards, says that
their investigation showed two things. The
first was that there is at present no real re-
sponsibllity for the care and disposition of
the property. Second, the inventory shows
q very large and unnecessary accumula-
tion OF stores and supplies by the different
bureaux, aggregatng over twenty million
dollars, appraised value.
Passing on to the new cruisers the Secre-
tary comments on the first attempt of the
Department to secure vessels OF war and its
consequent failure being such as to excite
the greatest concern and disappointment.
Mr.. Whitney then draws comparison be-
tween the Dolphin and Atlanta as against
English cruisers of the same character and
size and shows the American vessels
to be very much below the English stand
ard. The plans for the two new ironclads,
the report says, are being prepared In the
Department, although 1t has been right and
proper to offer $751; 900 to command the SER
vices of the best naval architects in the
world.
In view Of the fact that no manufacturer
Of steel in this country is prepared with his
present plant to enter into u contract to de-
liver armor that would stand the required
tests, Secretary Whitney has put all the
armor required into one contract and all
the material necessary in making the guns
into another. He Is emphatic In his ex-
pressed desire to aid American steel indus

Old lines Of battle with view to the
election of Republican Administra-
tion in 1888. Here is where the real
source Of trouble lies.
The revenue reformers profess to
have lost no strength, either with the
people or in Congress. Yet, they Will
be confronted by the same aggressive
and unrelenting antagonism as ever
The cue to the campaign has already
been announced by Mr.. Blaine. For
the Republicans to drop the tariff issue
would be the practical disbandmcnt of
their party; and so long as there are
enough politicians of the Republican
persuasion in Congress to defeat all Mt.
tempts to rob them Of this issue, the
tariff Is likely TO be left pretty much
where it Is.

Of prompt and united action on the part
of citizens when they have wrongs to

Terrible Disaster on AN Eastern Railway
Caused by Land Slide-A Number Killed
and Injured.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 1s.-The limited
express coming east on the Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnat & st. Louis railroad, which is due in
this city at 80, this morning was wrecked
by land slide at Jones' Ferry at the out
skirts of the city and a number of persons
injured. two of them it is thought fatally.
The train was running slowly and just as it
reached Jones' Ferry mass Of rocks and
earth came tumbling down from a preci-
pice forty feet above. The front part Of
the train escaped, but huge mass crashed
into the three sleeperS which were in the
rear. The interior of the front car was al
most completely demolished. 1t was Gin
cinnati sleeper and fortunately had a small
number of passengers in it. Two other
sleepers were also badly wrecked. The
scene following the accident was in
describable. Women shrieked, children
screamed, while above all was heard
the groans of the injured who were wedged
in between the berths and rocks, unable to
move. The moment the crash was heard
the engineer stopped the train, but as soon
as the conductor saw the frightful re-
suits he cried: Hurry On to the
Union Depot station. We don't want
TO wait minute, as we must care for
the injured" In a few minutes the sta
ton was reached. A full force Of surgeons
and com pany attendants were cn hand 10
carly out the injured. L. Was found that
eight passengers were seriously hurt, while
probably as many more received painful
cuts and bruises. Among the injured wers
two men who may die.

BLOW AT COAL MONOPOLIES.

A Discovery Made by An Ohio Chemist
Which Will RevOlutionize Lighting and
Heating.
CLEvELAY4. Nov. 2o.-J. j. johnson, of
CoIumbiana, this State, claims to have in
vented gas-making process that promises
to Guido natural gas. W. B. Sutler, a
prominent manufacturer of that place, gives
the following particulars regarding the in
yentiOn: Johnson has been working on
the invention for some time, and has
succeeded in perfecting his process 10
such an extent that wonderful re-
suits were accomplished. The prin-
cipie of the machine is a system
of siphons, and air is forced alternately
through water and through oil, resulting in
getting 100000 cubic feet of gas from bar
rel of oil. After this quantity of gas had
been made the residue of oil as a lubricator
is said to be worth as much as the barrel of
oil originally. 1t is cheaper than daylight, for
after getting the light and fuel the original
value of the material is left Johnson
made a trip to Boston and had con-
ference with capitalists regarding the sale
of the right of the invention. After this
representative chemists from Harvard col
lege were sent to Columbiana to investi-
gate. They reported favorably upon it,
and johnson was given S1,OO0,0O for the
right in the United States with the excep-
ton of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. Later he sold the right to
these four States with the exception
of Columbiana, to a Pittsburgh syndi-
cate for $4,000 The men from Boston
who examined the machine said that when
perfected no doubt 100000 feet of gas
could be produced from one barrel of oil.
AS an illuminant it is said to be far
superior TO the gas manufactured under
the ordinary process and as a fuel is
vastly superior to natural gas. Its heat
is intense. A bar of lead was thrust
into the base and Immediately fell apart.
From pipe which issues from Johnson's
laboratory issues blaze eight feet, that
makes an intensely brilliant light When
knowledge of the invention gets abroad it
is expected to create wonderful sensa-
ton. as it is expected to completely revO-
IutiOniZe ilIa matter of fuel and lighting.
TIE part IS who have gained control OF the
invention have been endeavoring TO keep it
quiet until they were ready to begin opeIa-
tlOpS.

Speaker Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-There is but
one opinion entertained by the Democratic
members Of Congress now in the city who
are friends of Speaker Carlisle-that his
reelection to the Speakership is matter Of
fact, and none will admit that there is any
obstacle raised by the proposed contest of
the Speakers opponent in the late Cougres-
sional race. The Speakers Kentucky adj
mirers insist that the light vote cast for
him for Congress at the recent election did
not indicate any waning Of his popularity
at home. Some of them are already de-
claring that if Mr.. Carlisle is not reelected
Speaker he shall be sent to the United
States Senate to succeed Beck.
