WASHINGTON, September Alt is evident
will do its utmost to obtain a contract for
building one OF the new 2000-ton cruisers.
The original advertisement for bids re-
quired that one firm should make bid for
constructing the three vessels. This adver-
tlsement produced no satisfactory results,
and the requirements of the contract were
modified so as to make the penalties for
speed and time less onerous. Secretary
Tracy has now again modified the advertise
ment so as to make it possible for any firm
to put in bid for one or more of the vessels,
gives the smaller concerns, like the Portland
an equal chance with the big con-
tractors like the Cramps.
1t Is said that the modification in the ad.
vertisement was made at the request of Sec
retary Blaine. who is very anxious to see the
iron ship building industry of Maine again
revived.

 The solemn service was soon said, the
 heavy wedding ring slipped into it's place,

 goodbye, Isabel Falconer was handed to
 the carriage in waiting, and badc adieu for ever to her life at Mme. Arnot's, and 1t re-
 mained to be seen whether Harvey Falconer

 "Well, the affair really did come off after all,' said Mme. Arnot, spitcfully, after the carriage had gone and there was no further necessity for smiling. Il must say 1 be- lieved he would repent of his folly Ut tho eleventh hour; but I'd like to sec the tab leau when tho Standfords hear of it," and she relieved her pent-up feelings by order- ing the girls about with even moro than her

The above is the title of a new Illustrated Serial which we have just purchased and which will shortly be begun in these columns. This is, without doubt, the most charming story we have read in many a day. It is in- tensely interesting. It is a powerful piece of literary work. A life-picture, sunny in the main, yet so full of things that touch the finer feelings of the heart that the average reader will more than once find his or her eyelids wet with tears.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SPLIT.
Two Chairmen for One Malone Commit.
tee in Alexandria County.

Although the differences between the Ma
hone and anti-Mahone leaders in the republi-
can ranks in Virginia have been reconciled
Alexandria county adds another chapter to the
party troubles in the Old Dominion The con-
test there is over craftsmanship. Mr.. T. H.
Sypherd, it appears, claims to be the regularly
appointed chairman of the county committee
by the Malone republican faction, and his ap-
pointment it is claimed, was acceptable to the
opposing faction. Justice Drummond col
ored magistrate who holds court at the brick
yards, was an aspirant for the craftsmanship,
and not having been appointed he concluded
that he would be made chairman without the
aid of the party leaders. He called meeting
of colored republicans, who elected him chair
man of the county committee. In the mean
time Chairman Sypherd sent for Justice
Drummond to tender him a position ON the
committee. Much to the surprise OF Sypherd
he was informed by the colored justice that he
Drummond) was about to tender him (Sypherd)
such position. Neither has as yet accepted
the tender of the other, but the matter will
probably be adjusted without being referred to

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. ALBERT Frank the
owner of the Black Diamond arrived from San
Francisco yesterday. He was not much sur
prised to find his vessel at anchor in the har-
Dor. He and all other sealing owners had
given their captains instructions to resist cap
ture to the utmost In case of seizure and
prize crew being put aboard the captains
were, If possible, to bring the schooner. prize
crew and all, to Victoria. Collector of Customs
Hamley has Lieut. ruttle's letters of instruc-
tions to the marine, John Hawkins. who was
put in charge of the Black Diamond. and this
with full information he has forwarded to the
minister of customs. Ottawa. He and Vice
Consul Marvin both say they know of no actio n
being taken by either government.
Hawkins, the prize crew. sails for Sitka on
the mail steamer Aeon Friday to rejoin the
Rush. He has enjoyed his visit, was the sub
ject of considerable chaff, but he hold his end
down. 1t was proposed by some to arrest and
prosecute him for piracy, but this foolish idea
was secuted by cooler heads. Other schooners

THE ENGINEER COMMISSIONER.
Who Will Succeed Major Raymond?-
Col Wilson's New Post.

The outlook at present is that the changes
in the engineer corps of the army will not be
announced until the return of the President
late next week.
The appointment Of Col. Wilson as superin-
tendent of the military academy is understood
to be agreed upon and the delay in its an
nouncement is but the result Of the other con-
siderations that arise when he is moved from
his present post.
There is a vague feeling among service men
that the problem that is giving the most
trouble is the selection of anew engineer COM
missioner for the District Of Columbia. Major
Oswald H. Ernst has been the favorite in the
field heretofore. and had his name been re-
ceived by the President with favor he probably
would have been given the billet before now
But other names have come to his ears. and
now it is thought that Major Ernst is not SO
promising candidate after all. The officer
most Significantly spoken of just at present is

FLORENCE MAVERICK GUILTY.
That is the Jury's Verdict and She is
Sentenced to Death.

LIvERpooL, Aug THE jury in the case of
Mrs. Florence Maybrick has found her guilty
of the murder of her husband. Upon the an
nouncement of the verdict by the jury the
judge pronounced the sentence Of death upon
the prisoner.
Judge Stephen in his charge to the jury said
there was strong and fdistressful evidence to
show that the prisoner had q motive for
ridding herself of her husband. This could be
found in her infidelity, which had rendered it
necessary for ner to enter into inextricable
mazes OF lying. He also called particular at
tention to the phrase she is sick unto DEATH"
contained in her letter to Briefly. This was
terribly important in view of the fact that ON
the day the letter was written the doctors fully
expected that MIR. Maybrick would recover. It
showed there was reason for believing that the
prisoner was desirous Of being rid of her hus-
band in order that she might live with her
Paramour: The judge put the question to the
jury whether it was reasonable to believe that
loving wife would yield to her husbands sug-
gestion to put an unknown powder in his food2
