WAsHISsroN, Nov. co. Engineef-in-
Chief George W. Melville has submitted
his annual report to the Secretary Of Navy.
He rays: 1T is a matter Of pride for the
bureau Of steam engineering to be able to
state that except for the Newark, which has
engines very like the Philsdelphis and built
by the same firm, and the Concord and
Benning, whose engines are copies Of the
Yorktown and Texas which were purchased
abroad, all the machinery now building for
the navy is from its designs Of sixteen ves-
sells for whose constructions bids have
been received in the last eighteen
months, but two designs for machinery
had been submitted by bidders in both cases
the bureaus designs have adopted them, for
one vessel because the successful bidder
had already adopted them, 10 the other
because the departments plane throughout
thought enough superior to warrant the con-
struction of vessels OF them, the difference
in the cost of vessel entire by two plans
being about two per cent. In view of the
fact the superiority of large machine tools
in the Boston Navy Yard, the number and
and excellence Of mechanics found in Bos-
ton; ease in obtaining and cheapness at
that port Of materials used in building or
to repair marine engines, Melville recon.
mends this yard to be again used ~ general
repair station, and the shops be at once put
in order for that purpose.

chfnge. Wharton Barker. another men,
Der Of the firm said this afternoon: 1.-The
assignment was unavoidable, ~ the people
who owed u money, upon whom we de-
pended, did not pay us. OF course the
condition Of the money market has much
to do with the trouble. The step was nec-
essary for the protection Of our customers.
The fret matter which brought the house
prominently before the general public was
the announcement in ls77.7S that they had
become financial agents for the Russian
government in the United States. This
mission was at that time highly important
in view OF war between England and Rus
sia, which then seemed imminent. In
carrying out the instructions Of the Russian
government, Barker Bros. & Co. procured
four ships Of war, suitable ordinance. and
completely armed and equipped then.
The total expenditure amounted to several
millions dollars the whole transaction wac
cousumated to the utmost satisfaction of
Russia. Wharton Barker, president Of the

dent. At the finance company prepare
lions were made for an anticipated run on

during the last hour of the days business
and some accounts drawn out. All drafts
we're promptly met, and Treasur-
er Steslns assured number of
persons who had an account
there. that the company was entirely sol
vent, and would pay everything presented
in form Of check or other demands. Fail
ure Barker Bros. 4 Co., was caused largely
by various improbable investments. They
were identified with number of railroad
schemes which prudent fnanciers and capi-
talists avoided when the money stringency
came found 1t impossible to realize upon
them.

Brown Bros, & Co., Provident and Trust
Co. and Pennsylvania Co. for the insurance
of lives and granting Of annuities has been
formed for the purpose of advancing TO the
finance in the State of Pennsylvania any
amount Of money that may be necessary to
meet outstanding liabilities. 1t 10 asserted
that the company is certainly solvent and
with the assistance of the syndicate will be
able to tide over the crisis in its affairs

Congressman eayTs IL Afraid OF Ma
tional Bankruptcy.

Congressman Sayers of Texas, one Of
the leading democratic members Of the
House committee on appropriations. says
in regard to the large pension disbursement
that bankruptcy of the treasury seems immi-
nent in the immediate future. He says for the
first time since 1865 it is costing more to run
the government than the government takes
in. 1.-THE coming session Of Congress has
got to appropriate for the next fiscal year
ending June 80, 1892" said Sayers. "This
year there will be deficit of $50, 200. 900 or
$40, ,000, 900 for pension payments. Money
will be diverted from appropriations made
for the year ahead to make up for the
coming shortage. That is the programme
of the opposition and should not go
through. Each years appropriation should
stand by itself. Democrats must insist that
the full amount needed to pay the pension
claims should be appropriated"
