The Bids for the New Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Bids were opened
at the navy department at noon in the sec
ond endeavor to secure satisfactory pro
posals for the construction of the three
2,O0O-ton cruisers, authorized by the act of
Congress of September Z, 1888. The bids
did not include armament or equipment.
Five bids are as follows: Union works,
San Francisco, for one cruiser, S715, 900;
for two, 81, 450 900; for the three cruisers,
8, 054, 001, or 1854, 667 each.
n. F. Palmer, ir., & Co, of New York,
for one cruiser, S674, 900.
Columbia Iron works, Baltimore, for one
cruiser, $625,OOO; for two, 81 ,225, 900. This
bid is the lowest.
Bath Iron works, Bath, Maine, for one
cruiser, S675, 600; for two, 81 100000; for the
three, 81, 025,00
Harrison Loring, Boston, one cruiser,
SOFA 900.
In all the bids of class 1, the hull and ma
chinery are to be built according to the
plans and specifications of the department.
After the reading of the bids Secretary
Tracy expressed himself as very well salts
fed with the propositions made, 1.-THE re-
duction of the required speed from eighteen
to seventeen knots per hour probably had
some effecJ,n he said, ''but the determine
ton to build the 4,000-ton cruisers at the
navy yards doubtless led the constructors
to bring their bids within the prescribed
figures.N
In response to the suggestion he would
have enough money left to equip the ships
out of the appropriation, the secretary re
piled: "Oh, great plenty. With one ship
| for S6S4, 900 and two others for Sl,320,0O0
there will be balance of sol, 200 left for
equipment, S67 900 each. Forty thousand
dollars is enough to equip vessel of that
size, so that we may have some to apply to
the payment of premiums for speed if
earned"

The Louisiana Bond Steals.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 26.-The grand jury
made report to day on the bond steal
They state that during 1SSO-S1, $3.50, OOO
consolidated bonds were exchanged ac-
cording to law, for per cents. known as the
constitutional bonds. Notwithstanding the
exchange and the positive mandates of the
law requiring their Immediate cancellation,
these bonds were retained intact until
May 6, 1882, and were used by Treasurer
Burke to that day for his private purposes.
The total of the fraudulent bonds
put into circulation by Burke amounted
to S373,6O0, including $4,000 of con-
solidated bonds. The constitutional
bonds purported to have been issued in
exchange for certain consolidated bonds
and had been numbered to correspond with
outstanding consols. in many cases the
fraudulent numbers were duplicated and in
one case the same number had been used
three times.
The grand jury found fifteen or twenty
indictments against Burke, state treasurer,
including breach of trust, embezzlement
and forgery, and five against other parties,
including two against w. A Cockerton, for
merly Burke's private secretary. The in
vestigation is still going on.

The Election of Mrtaafa as King of Samoa.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 26.-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Apia, under
date of October g. confirms the election of
Mataafa as King of Samoa by
the chiefs of the various districts 1t was
expressly provided that Mataafa should
rule as King only until the agreement en-
tered into by the three foreign powers
should go into effect. Then, if necessary,
new election will be held. Tamasese's
followers did not signify their assent to
the election
The correspondent states that a number
of Tamasese's followers on the island Savay
have made an attack on some of Mataafa'S
followers.
When the news of the attack was received,
Mataafa sent word to his people at the
place where the trouble occurred to de-
mand that the guilty parties be delivered
to them.
The correspondent adds: 1.-THE excite
ment has been increased here by the fact
that one hundred of Mataafas followers
are now leaving Apia for Savay, where
they will be joined by others. Their inten-
ton is to burn the houses of Tamasese's
men if the parties who attacked their
| friends are not given up peaceably. 1t is
not improbable that the expedition may re
suit in an open conflict betW n the forces
of Mataafa and Tamasese at Savoy"
Commander Woodward, of the United
States steamer Adams, was passenger on
the steamer Mariposa. He discredits the
cable dispatch from Sydney about battle
between the native forces of Samoa. lie
does not know of any of Mataafa's follow
ers having gone to Savay, and says there
were no indications of trouble when he
left Apia

Bismarck, KalnOky and Crispi
to Hold a Conference.
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Gladstone Advises English Workingmen to
Study it-LOrd Mayor Isaacs Dilemma
Baron Reuters Chagrin.

BERLIN, Oct Copyright 1889 by
New York Associated Press The pro.
posed conference between Bismarck,
Count Kalnoky and Premier Crispi has
been delayed until after Emperor William
visit to Turkey. The political Importance
of the events not denied. Bismarcz's pro-
ject is to construct second defensive line
behind the dreibund, consisting of England
and Turkey, not committed by treaty to
the special purposes of the central Euro
pean alliance, but linked by kindred
interests. Hence he is maneuevering to
commit Lord Salisbury to new treaty
with Turkey, relating to the permanent
occupation of Egypt.
Bismarck's project in regard to the
Balkan settlement as communicated to
the Car, has led to u temporary cessation
of hostile Russian intrigueS.
The Car has certainly consented to per-
nit the chancellor to try to realize some
mOduS Uiuendi, holding himself free to re-
sumo independent action in the event of
the scheme failing.

Frustrated with seasickness. The King
and Queen of Greece and the Crown Prince
received the imperial party at the entrance
to the harbOr. After landing the party
took train for Athens and on arrival there
drove to the palace in the state carriages.
The route was lined with troops and the
immense throng gave an ovation to the i'm
perial party.
The Socialists in the reichstag have
moved for the abolition of the duties
on all provisions. 1t is thought here
that there is abundant proof that the ter
rible pressure on the poor is caused by the
existing tariffs. 1t is improbable that the
reichstag will grant relief, though it is
certain the food question will be prom
inent factor in the coming election. A
section of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will sup
port the Progressists in their demand for
the abolition of the pork duties.
Frederick has created sensation. Prior
to its publication Bismarck advised, but did
not insist, upon the suppression of certain
passages. His complaisance is attributed
to Freytag's disclosures of the unwise inter
ference OF the Empress. Another passage
that is grateful to Bismarck is one that de-
scribes Emperor Frederick as afflicted with
morbid moods and old in mind and body
long before his fatal disease attacked him
His vital energy, the book declares, was no
longer befitting the heir to the imperial
crown. He often thought of an abdication
in favor of his son.

An account of the feud has been received
here giving the stories of both sides. The
Towards claim the trouble originated in
the killing in self-defense of Robert Turner
in 1882, and Wilson Howard, who is under
Indictment for killing William Turner in a
quarrel ensuing, can.lot get fair trial and
therefore resists arrest. The Turner's,
represented by Judge Lewis, claim that
Robert and William Turner were murdered
without provocation and Wilson Howard
must be brought to trial. Towards forces
greatly outnumber Turner's and can secure
justice at least. Judge Lewis is not rel
alive of the Turner's and was drawn into
the fight only in the discharge of his duty.
