DAYS probably will elapse before the result is
ascertained with certainty. The situation is
fully described in dispatch to THE TRIBUNE
from Charleston. 1t now appears certain that
the Democrats have small majority for their
electoral ticket, but the figures for Governor
and for Congressman in three districts indicate
that perhaps 90 votes may turn the scale in
each case. The Legislature is probably DEM
ocratic. The significant fact is the striking
Republican gains showing that West Virginia
is a Protection State BY 1892 she will doubt
less take her place permanently in the Repub-
lican column

PROSPECT or THE NEW NAVY.

Secretary Whitney is reported to have de-
cded against advertising for bids for the YES
sells recently authorized by Congress. He takes
sensible view of the matter. His successor
will have TO build the ships and ought properly
to be allowed the privilege Of contracting for
their construction. AS the great shipyards of
the country already have all the work that they
can do for the Government, there is no neces-
sty for haste in ordering new vessels; and
there are excellent reasons for delaying these
additional contracts irespectively Of the APP
preaching, change of Administration. The
high-speed cruisers which are now building are
experimental. Strong hopes have been formed
that their performance will be equal to the
promise, but it will be only ordinary prudence
to wait until their speed, structural strength
and general utility have been practically tested

of this 1t quotes from the diary OF student

1t is notable step which has been taken by
the trustees of Columbia College in deciding
to establish an annex for women students.
The details of the scheme are described in an
article printed on the seventh page. In general
way the Columbia annex will correspond with
that connected with Harvard University. 1t
will be separate institution, but will have as
professors and instructors the members of the
Regular Columbia faculty. The ladies who
have been foremost in securing this concession
from the trustees of Columbia have the best of
reasons for rejoicing in their success. All men
and women who desire to see girls and boys
have equal educational advantages will rejoice
with them

efore ordering additional ships Of the same

before ordering additional ships Of the same
design.
The Democratic Administration has been
heartily supported by the Republican minority
in the House in all measures for Strengthening
the Navy. No factious opposition has been
displayed, and large appropriations have been
made for the construction Of new vessels with
out division on party lines. Ii is to be hoped
that the Democratic minority in the Llst Con-
gress will be equally patriotic in their turn.
Americans of every shade OF political opinion
unite in the demand for the creation of Navy
that will be worthy of the country. 1t is a
popular policy in accord with National require
ments and the dignity Of the American people,
No political party can afford to antagonlze 1t.
So far as possible the next Administration
should carry out the policy Of united Con-
gress, and partisan considerations should be
rigidy excluded from the practical questions
connected with the construction of the new
feet
1t would be easy, of course, for the incoming
Administration to retaliate on Secretary Whit
ney for his own partisan excuses in running
John Roach and discrediting the vessels built
by his predecessor. When he entered upon Of
HC0 tUcro was tIclncHuOus pIOSSuto piOuShO w
bear upon him to substantate the reckless
charges of mismanagement and corruption
which his party had been making for twenty
years. He yielded to the temptation and de-
voted his energies for long period to waging
partisan warfare upon American shipbulders
and Republican methods of administration.
His successor will have ample opportunities for
making reprisals but we undertake to promise
that nothing of the kind will be attempted.
Every one of the vessels for which Secretary
Whitney has made contracts will be fairly and
impartially tested. Partisan Naval Boards will
not be organized for the purpose of con-
demning designs and models favored by him.
One branch of the service will not be pitted
against another with view to dlscrediting
American designers. Shipbuilders employed by
him will not be bounded to ruin and death.

The official canvass of the votes cast in this
city was practically finished yesterday. No
change of Importance was shown by the count
except that one more Republican member of
the Board Of Aldermen proves to have been
elected. The making Of the official canvass is
hardly more than matter of form except in a
year like 1884, when the change Of only few
votes affected the result of the Presidential
election. 1t is to be noted that the inspectors
who were summoned before the Board of Can
vasse-s yesterday were as stupid specimens
of this class of officials as are often On eXhlbi
ton. Their lack of knowledge, and even Of
ordinary intelligence, was positively painful.
The manner of conducting the inquiry be-
fore the Parnell Commission continues TO excite
surprise on this side of the Atlantic. Not only
is an unlimited amount OF testimony being
taken in regard to crimes and outrages in Ire
land without any attempt as yet to connect Mr.
Parnell or any Of his associates with these oc
currences, but the evidence concerning these
things is not presented in a consecutive or
orderly way The counsel of the Parnellites
protested yesterday against the skipping about
from one part of Ireland to another. without
getting any satisfaction beyond the assurance
from the other side that this was the only
means of shortening the case. The court ac-
cepted this explanation. But it seems an odd
way TO shorten the case, and the suspicion is
increasing that the Judges are less favorable to
one side than the other.

ASSAULTED IN HER BED.

A Bay Street Landlady's Experience
With Man With the Horrors.
Mrs. Eliza McCalla, widow woman who
keeps lodging house at No. 81 Bay street,
had a rough but strange experience early
yesterday morning.
Mrs. McCalla sleeps in a rear room on the
ground floor of her house and her
dodgers occupy the upstairs apart
nents. About O'Clock yesterday morn
ing she awoke and discovered
in the darkness the figure of a man at the
foot Of her bed She sat upright in bed,
when the man sprang at her, and seizing
her by the throat commenced choking her.
She struggled with him and he let 90 his
hold ON her throat and threw her to the
floor. She cried for assistance, calling to
John, man living next door, who answered
her. Her assailant hearing the voice, and
after striking her three times in the breast
made his escape before assistance could ar
rive. A policeman came in and made a
search for the intruder, but failed to find
him
The fei,,w left behind him in a corner of
the hallway brown sack coat, blue vest
derby hat aud pair of laced shoes with
brass nails in them. The latter were COM
paratively new. The man got into the
house through the front door. A lodger
named Pritcbard who went out short time
before left the door unlocked. The mans
actions TO say the least, were very peculiar.
for Mrs. McCala SAYS that he made no at
tempt to steal anything, and he effected his
exit from a adiferent venue than that
through which he entered
Mrs. McCalla says that she was unable
TO recognize her assailant's features, but she
Is satisfied that he was a white man Of me-
dunn size and not very heavy built. She
cannot understand the object Of his assault,
and she thinks that it must have been made
by man lodging somewhere in the neigh
borhood His leaving his clothing and
shoes in the entry way and being in his
stocking feet, leads her to the belief that
he thought he was in his
own lodging house and was suf-
fering from a case of 1.-THE horrors al
though Mrs. McCalla says that she could
not smell any liquor in his breath, but only
the stencil from tobacco. None of the
dodgers i'll the house heard her cries or the
noise of the struggle.
Mrs. McCalla is suffering severely from
pains in her breast where she was struck,
and she was also quite hoarse from the
choking she received

me Russian Bark Navigator Laid on
Her Side in the River.
The Russian bark Navigator was hove
down at Byrnes' shipyard, opposite the foot
of East Broad street. yesterday. This is the
first time such job has been done here, the
vessel being hove down all the way with her
keel completely out of water The work
was done under the supervision of Mr. J. J.
Morris, who rugged powerful purchases on
the vessel and with strong winches held her
in position and at the same time afioat.
Shipmasters expressed surprise at the facil
tiles here for such work.
The vessel is so large that she could not be
hauled out. The leak in her is believed to
be near the cardboard stroke, and the survey
which was held yesterday morning recon-
mended that the copper be stripped
50 feet forward from her stern
post and Z feet up from the
keel, and that parts of defective planks be
taken out and replaced with new planks, the
seams to be recaulked and the upper works
if necessary. The copper will he replaced
and in several places where it is knocked off
the hull will be remetaled. The copper WAS
stripped off and the seams recaulked and
the planking repaired.
The vessel was righted last night and a
final survey will be had tomorrow morn

Gill to watch the beef until he could collect
posse, swore that while he was watching
the beef a man came up with pistol i'll his
hand, examined The sacks containing the
meat and went off.
The only new feature in the examination
not covered by the MORNING News report
yesterday was the finding of a hatchct,

fact that CLIPS brother and Mr.. Haywood
