NEW NAVY YARD SITE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The report of
the commission that recently visited the
Pacific coast to find good place for navy
yard, has made a very exhaustive report
Much of it is devoted to a description of
the points other than Port Orchard exam
ined and statement of the reasons which
compelled the commission to reject their
claims. Summing UP the advantages
offered at Port Orchard or Point Turner,
as it is called, tie eport says: The situa-
ton is upon a good narbor with ample eX-
tent and depth of water for ships of the
largest size and heaviest draught, and is
accessible 10 them at all times. The site
chosen is well within any probable line of
defense intended to cover the principal
cities of Puget sound. It may be adGeI
that it also favorably situated to support
that line of defense while itself remaining
secure. Its position and natural surround
ings are such as TO afford ample local Sc
curity from flanking by naval force what
ever by dash or bombardment. with IN
usually small expense in preparation of
defences The site is fifteen miles from
Seattle, thirty from Tacoma, the principal
centers of labor and supplies on Puget
sound, The appraised estimate for the
entire site recommended, comprising $50
acres. is S53,1-9 The owners valuation

A CHINESE WAR.
Fighting Breaks Out Between Two Fami-
lies the Wongs and Lees.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Simultaneously
two big Chinese proclamations arrived
among the New York Cinnamon today
which will undoubtedly threaten the peace
and prosperity of thousands OF Cinnamon
here and throughout the United States.
One OF these proclamations informs the
Wongs all over the United States that the
entire Wong family in the province Of
Canton has declared war against the Lee
family OF that province on account or q
legal complication between a few members
of the two great families, which the au-
thorities were unable to settle, and that
the only way left now is for the two fac
tons to fight it out. The proclamation
appeals to the Wongs Of America for mu-
4ltions of war or money to buy the same.
LOCO. 900 able-bodied Wongs at home to
thrash the Lees if they could only get
hold of some of the Yankee killing ma
chimes. The proclamatlonS of the Lees
asks their cousins for the same favors,
with an equal assurance OF annlhliatlng
all the Wongs.
'Why does not the Chinese government
put stop to such foolishness" a reporter
asked Wong All He, one of the leading
cousins of the fighting Wongs in New
York
Did not they try, thought" replied
Wong laughingiy. every time they try
to stop such big family rows they get
the vengeance of both cOmbatants
So the government has been taught
to leave them severely alone and
let them fight it out among themselves.
These family qGarrels arise once nearly
every year between cOntendiDg families
but the Lees and Wongs are two OF the
bigges, families in China and this will be
the first time they actually came to open
war with each other. In the last fight be-
tween the Hakas and the Buntes, some
years ago, there We're thousands Of men
and women killed on both sides, and the
war lasted four years until nearly all the
Hakas were annihilated or fed into the
mountains"

THE LEWIS BROS FAILURE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Lewis Bros. &
Co., the dry goods commission merchants
OF Worth street, have just made their for
NAL offer TO their creditors to compromise
of size on the dollar. This is 71sc more
than they and their assignee thought they
could pay when their schedules were filed.
Creditors TO whom the settlement has
been presented have all expressed
willingness to accept the terms
and have the firm resume business. Some
of the firms who were involved in this
failure have succeeded in making satisfac
tory arrangements with their creditors.
The Manviile company, manufacturers OF
cotton goods, Providence, Is taking care OF
its paper. 1t is understood that the COM
pays in full OH the basis OF sec cash and 50c
secured by second mortgage of 100000
on the plant which was recently raised.
The account has been taken away from
Lewis Bros. & Co., who had been the SELL
ing agents for many years, and 1t Is now
managed By z. Oelbermann * Co, who, IL
is said, Were Instrumental in raising the
cash for the Manyille company to pay its
debts.

calico printers, of Providence. which had
$780, OF Lewis Bros. & Co.'s accept
anceS, has, it is said, made arrange
ments to take care of this pa
per by raising S26O.0O0, part from
the stockholders and part by mortgage.
In the settlement OF the Lewis Bros. &
Co.'s acceptance it is said the Dunneil
company will pay half, and the other half
come from Lewis Bros. & Co. The DIM
nell company, it is said, will lose part Of
the Manville cOmpany'5 work, but the

ALEGAL CONTEST LIKELY.

HURLEY, Wis, Sept. 26.-There is little
likelihood that the money taken from the
iron Exchange bank last Friday night will
be recovered. The cracksmen left no clew
% their identity and burglars and money
have disappeared as completely as if at the
bottom Of the river. This brings the
parties interested in the robbery 10 the
question as to who will stand the loss Of
he so $50 Il Is understood that the
United States Express company Will make
an attempt to shift the blame for the loss
0f the money on TO the bank and litigation
N the courts seems 10 be the inevitable
result. From the fact that no reward has
set been offered for the capture OF the men
guilty of the burglary which Is usually

che CONCLUSION is drawn that il is to show
shat they are not interested in bringing
the robbers to conviction.

between the Union Pacific company and
Chairman Finley, of the Trans-Missouri
association. When the latter association
was organized the Rock Island had in
effect the same rates to st. Paul and Min
neapolis from Kansas City points as APP
piled from Kansas points to Chicago. The
Union Pacific asked for authority TO meet
these rates from points on its line, which
the chairman granted. Subsequently the
Rock Island withdrew its tariff, and &C
cordngly the Union Pacif ic was requested
to withdraw It's former rates. This the
Union Pacific refused to do. Chairman
Finley held that he had the right to de-
mand the withdrawal of the tariff, which
had been granted as temporary relief
The Union Pacific appealed from the rul-
ing, but it was sustained by the associa-
ton. Still the Union Pacific declined to
comply, and the matter was referred TO
Chairman Walker. The company with
drew the objectionable tariff. pending the

it could be immediately restored ii the de-
