BIG Guns FOR THE NAVY.
ORS MILLION Dollars 10 be Expended 1T
The Washington Navy-Yard.


[By telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE
Star this evening says: At its last SEES
sion Congress appropriated $1,000 900
for guns for the navy. and the Secretary
Of the Navy interd DIS that all Of the work
by the Government shall be done at the
Washington navy-yard. He will shortly
consolidate some Of the bureaus Of the
yard, so that it will be before long
almost entirely Government ordnance
foundry. The natural advantages OF
the Washington yard are very superior
for ordnance work, while the work
shops are well adapted for the work,
and here is force Of skilled workmen
already on hand, aud a good supply Of
machinery and tools. The yard has
not sufficient resources, however, for
the work on as large scale as is intended,
and it will be necessary to provide
some additional plant. Secretary Whit
ney intends using portion Of the one
million dollsrs-probably two hundred
and fifty thousand dollsrs-for supply
ing the necessary plant. The purpose
is 10 increase the facilities Of the yard
to a capacity sufficient to turn out sll
the guns required for the navy, and to
depend upon gun and steel-manufac-
turers for the guns in the rough.

There is great excitement over the ab-
duction and probable murder of Miss
Luella Nabbett. an estimAble girl living
south Of here, last week. Amos Green,
rejected sutton, drove in a carriage to
her home, seized her, and carried her
off. lie returned home the next morn
ing, and then disappeared. Miss Nab
bett has not been seen since, and, as
Green had threatened her life, it is be-
lieyed that she has been murdered. An
organized search for her has been
vsinly carried on. A trail has
been found leading to wildcat
creek, and some believe that the body
will be found in the stream. Thurs
day night mob, believing that Green's
mother knew the whereabouts of her
son, went to Der house. A rope was
placed around the old wouan's neck.
and she was threatened with death If
she did not reveal the hiding-place Of
her son, but threats Of lynching were
of no avail. The mother refused to
open her mouth to betrsy her son. The
mystery is deepened by the disappear
ance Of another Of Miss MIbbett's suit
ors, John Yerkis.' On the night Of the
abduction William Walker msde call
on Miss Mabbett's sister, and he has
since been arrested as Green's accom-
plice. Mrs. Green has also been ar
rested.

vices from Alaska are to the effect that
anti-Chinese movements have spread to
that Territory. August 4th, at a meet
ipg st Juneau, it was decided that
the Chinese employed by the Alaska
Mill and Mining Company on Douglass
island must 60. \ committee Of fifty
proceeded to the island and demanded
that Tresdwell, the manager, discharge
them. He refused. The committee
returned 10 juneau and reported
10 the citizens at secret meeting. o.
the On 100 miners proceeded by boat
20 Douglass's island, and, IN spite OF
TIeadwell's protest, assembled the Chi
psmeD-eighty-six IN number-it the

Idaho refused 20 receive them, and, a.
Treadwtll bad gone 10 Sitka appealing
for aid from the United States steamer
Pinta, the miners were worried to
devise quick means Of disposiDg OF the
prisoners. There were two schooners
lying st Douglass's island. The COM
mittee chartered one and seized the
other, the captain declining to charter
it. The Cinnamon were put aboard the
small vessels and given one hundred

lieysd TO be uniayorable. Reserve, de-

Manager Camp, of the clearing house,
says be has not investigated the cause
of the Withdrawals of deposits and
the loss in legsl-tenders, bu. that the
increase 10 specie is due to the change
made by the sub-Treasury in paying
balances in gold instead Of legal teu-
ders. Olher bankers state that the
trust companies have taken advantage
Of the high rates OF money to loan as
much as possible on time, aud the
loans made by them caused them to
draw great part of their deposits and
also decreased the bank losns. The net
amount Of money shipped TO tbs West
