The Gar and Czariua Out Yachting
Russia and Turkey.
Copyrighted, 1882 by the New York Associated
Press.
BERLIN, August 24th.-Compared with
the visit of the late Emperor William 10
Alsace- Lorraine, in 1877, the present EN-
peror's visit was phenomenal success, and
indicates the remarkable progress made IN
Germanizing the Provinces during the past
decade.
Copenhagen kilograms announce that the
Car and Czarina boarded the Imperial
yacht at Peterhotf yesterday and were ex-
pected in Copenhagen Tuesday, but at the
last moment the sailing was postponed.
The belief is now that the Car will disem-
bark at Stettin, en- route to Copenhagen,
and have brief and quiet meeting with
the Emperor at Hounsdam.
An inspired article in the Cologne Ga.
sette on the results of the Enperor's visit
to Osborne say the relations between Re.
gland and Germany are beginning to be
much more friendly; owing, however. to
the opposition of the Radicals in Parlia.
ment, the English Government. is com.
PEELED to proceed cautiously toward reap,
proaChment with Germany.
The Gazette adds: whether the Car
comes or not there is small hope that the
relations between Russia and Germany
will improve. The NOUOe UrcmyG and
other leading Russian papers are making
open bids for Turkish support so as to
counterbalance the powerful combination
OF the Central European powers"

some persistency the investigation into the
payments made to Deputy Surveyors on
their vouchers by the authorities of the
Treasury Department. There is something
OF disposition to push the Treasury off,
Gals on this matter, in view of the fact
that Judge Durham, as First Comptroller,
made something of a reputation as an
economist for the Government by closely
scruunlZing all accounts that passed
through his hands, and at the same time
authorized the payment of these accounts
after the General Land Office had disal-
lowed them. A specimen account will show
how the fraud was managed ]. r.
Glover was given contract for surveying
ten townships in California under a specific
appropriation. He put in bill for ST.
$50 oil. Investigation showed that he had
surveyed but two out of ten towpships, and
his bill for these, S66S IA, was paid and
81 ST. 67 disallowed. These townships
were surveyed in 1877, and subsequently
the contract for surveying the other eight
townships was let and complied with and
the work paid for in 1879, Comptroller
Durham, however, proceeded to allow the
account of Glover, and last year he was
paid the full amount of his bill. s.. 5S5 81,
without consulting with the General Land
Office.
This is but sample of fifty other cases
that have been passed in the same wav,
and it seems probable that the Government
has paid out about $4,000 alleged dupli-
cate surveys in the past ten years simply
| for want of proper communication between
the Interior and the Treasury Depart
ments

SATISFACTORY TESTS.
The Government Inspectors are Pleased
with the Charleston

WASHINGTON, August oath Acting Sec
rotary Walker this afternoon received by
telegraph the following official report upon
the performance of the new cruiser Charles
ton upon her trial yesterday near Santa
Barbara. Tne report is from Commodore
Benham, President of the trial board, dated
August 24'h, and reads thus:
'rhe official trial of the Charleston's
engines and boilers was finished yesterday
afternoon. TIN probable average total
horsepower is 6, 700. The maximum revo-
lutions for one hour, ZIG 6. Average revo-
lutions for four hours lis. The vacuum
was never below twenty-six. The ships
draft at starting of the trial was sixteen
feet eleven inches forward, and nineteen
feet aft. The continuous speed by the log
of eighteen knots was maintained. The
ship was actually under forced draft for
eight and one-halfhours. The performance
of the machinery and boilers was admirable
during the entire period 1t was not found
necessary to slow, nor was there any
heating"
Commodore Walker expressed himself
as highly gratifed with the results of the
trial. He says the smooth running of the
machinery under the trying conditions of
the forced draft for so long a time and the
continuous high speed maintained stamps
the Charleston as vessel without super
Tor. 1t will be noticed that the vessel
showed 600 horse power, while the con-
tract requirement is 1000 The design
contemplates a speed of is knots. This
appears to have been realized although
there is discrepancy in horse power,
which if this trial should be accepted as
final would subject the contractors to a
penalty, consequently the engineer officers
believe another trial will be had, and that
if the machinery is made smooth and ex-
perienoe gained in preceding trials the YES
sci which has already so successfully met
expectations in other respects will realize
the technical condition of seven thousand
horse power

Great Britain Does Not Trouble Herself
About the Canadian Sealers.
WASHINGTON, August 25th.-Actipg Sec
rotary Wharton of the State Department,
speaking Of the Behring Sea complications
this morning, said: I'VE have had up to
this time no communication with the Ea-
glish Government upon the subject
of the seal fisheries in Behring Sea.
The recent seizures of sealing vessels are
matters with which the Treasury Depart
ment alone must deal, as they have been
made by vessels of the Revenue Marine
Service. The State Department can be-
come interested only when international
questions affecting the rights of these seal
ers arise. | can only say that up to this
time they have not been presented. We
have had no communication with the Brit
lsh Government upon this question since
Mr.. Bayard was Secretary of State and the
matter stands exactly as it did when he
left the department. Until these questions
are brought forward as involving points of
international law the State Department
has no action to take and has, of course,
officially no opinion upon the subject to
express. We have had no communica-
tons from Minister Lincoln or from the
British Government upon the question"

RAILROAD IN CONGO.
Supposed object of c. =, HUNTINGTON
Trip to Europe.

Supposed Object of c. =, HUNTINGTON
Trip to Europe.
NEW York, August 24th.-Since c. P.
Huntington sailed on the Teu;onic We'd
nesday it has been learned that one of the
objects of the trip is to consult with the
King of Belgium about the Congo railroad
enterprise. The project seems TO have
taken deep hold on Huntington. He il
is said, intends to built Congo railroad
for his son, or rather let his son build il.
Young Huntington is six.footer, who has
been out of college couple of years.
When c. ?. Huntington sold out his Gin
cinnati and Ohio control to the Wander
derbllts short time since it was with the
Congo road in view, and he is going abroad
to see about it. 1t is estimated that the
road will cost from 5000, 900 to $50 OO0.-
600 10 build and equip, of which 81, 400, 900
has been subscribed under the auspices of
the Belgium Stock Company. which is the
great trading concern of the Congo Free
State. The lower Congo country is in the
enjoyment of complete system of govern
ment, which has its headquarters at Bros
sells, and a full set of resident officials,
Courts, Pcstoffces, Custom House, stand
ing army, etc.
1t is the connection of this lower Congo
region with the upper Congo country for
which railroad is sought. The upper
Congo country has large population, and
vast trade can be opened up there. of
which the Belgians wish to reap the bene-
mt. This is the reason that Huntington. il
is reported, intends to sell all his interest in
this country that lies east of the Mississippi
river.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Arrival at New York of Badly Burned
Steamer.

Arrival at New York of a Badly Burned
Steamer.
New York, August 24th.-The Pacific
Mail steamship City of Para, with twenty
nine passengers, arrived at Sandy Hook
this morning from Aspinwall. The comb
ings of her forward hatch were burned
and scorched, and bore the outward marks
of a big fire which came very near de-
stroying the vessel and its precious cargo.
The PARA left New York tie first part Of
this month with a full cargo Of merchan-
disc. She reached Aspinwail August 11th,
and the 'lcngshoremen and sailors had dis
charged a total of $50 tons of her cargo
from the hold, when fire was discovered
among the cotton and naval stores which
were stored in the forward compartment.
The flames attracted the attention of
the ancient fire department of Aspin-
wall, which turned out, and, with q num-
Der of American laborers about the dock,
set to work to assist the people of the
steamship in extinguishiDg the flames.
All through the night of the I1th the men
toiled. Several fell exhausted as morning
came on, from overwork. The 18th opened
with the fire still burning fiercely, and to-
wards noon of that day it locked as if the
steamer was doomed.
On the afternoon of the 18th the flames
went down as suddenly as they begun, and
at O'Clock Captain Lockwood, the skipper
of the ship, reported the fire extinguished.
A very considerable quantity Of cargo is
destroyed, and the interior of the vessel is
badly damaged.

the weather delightful. The event of the
day was fixed for $3.50 o'clock, but it was
that time before the racers were summoned
TO the post by the bugle. As soon as they
had all arrived, Caldwell got down and
said:

y
the Specifications.
WASHINGTON, August 24th.-Advertise-
ments were issued to-day from the Navy
Department for bids for the construction of
the three 2000-ton cruisers. for which ex-
cessive proposals were opened on Thurs
day.
The new advertisements are the same as
the old, with certain important differences
that are expected TO induce contractors to
offer bids that will fall within the appro-
priation. The department makes several
concessions TO this end.
In the first place, six months more time
is given, making the contract period two
and one half years. The maximum speed
to be obtained is fixed at seventeen knots,
instead of eighteen, and the premium rate
is altered There will be a premium of
SIS, 600 for each quarter knot over the max
imum, and similar deduction for each
quarter knot below, instead of $4,000 for
the first quarter knot, $4,000 for the Sec
ond, $50, COO for the third and 10000 for
the fourth and all above. The minimum
speed. below which the vessel will not be
selected, is to be sixteen knots instead of
sixteen and one half Bids will be opened
October Goth. No action has yet been taken
in the case of the two 5000 ton vessels, but
a Reimbursement will probably be issued
for them.
