An EX-Presidcnt of a GaSlight Com
pany Charged With Fraud.
New YORK, Nov. 24.-Wallace G. An
drews, President of the New York Steam
Company, and until recently President
of the Standard Gaslight Company, is
likely to be involved in law suit with
the latter company over the validity OF
certain stock, amounting to about s., ,O0O.-
coo, which. it is alleged, Andrews OBJ
tanned illegally from the company while
ITS President. TX resigned two or three
weeks ago, ]. a. Rostwick being elected
in his stead. 1t is said that had not An
drews resigned he would have been ex-
PEELED. An Injunction was issued to re-
strain him from selling or otherwise dis
posing of certain stock. 1t is charged
that Sl,000,000 worth OF stock of the gas
company obtained by him is held by the
New York Steam Company, which he is
believed to control. Another action, it is
said, has been instituted to recover q
block OF preferred stock held by him.
and in this suit it is charged that he sub
ordinated the interests of the gas com
pany to those of his steam heating COM
pany; that unproductive properties Of
the latter company were unloaded on the
gas company, etc.
Mr.. Bostwick, when seen to-day, said
the company was in financial difficulties
short time ago, and to protect himself
and others who had gone into it with him
he offered to assume all the debts of the
company until its affairs were straight
ened out. Andrews, whose scheme had
far outreached his capital, had made con-
tracts that he could not keep. AS re-
suit Bostwick paid out nearly half mill
ion dollars in thirty days. Much against
his advice S5,000.000 of stock was issued
and given to Messrs. Andrews, Spinola
and Monheimer for distribution Later
it was discovered that much of this was
sold for insufficient compensation and
the remainder held by the three persons
mentioned above. This stock, in its
present state, is tainted, ard the books
for the transfer have been closed until
matters are Strengthened ont
Bostwick says the charge that Andrews
transferred useless real estate from the
steam company TO the gas company is
unfair. At the time of the transfer he
unquestionably intended putting up gas
plants on it.
Andrews when seen today refused to

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. = Commodore
farquhar, Chief of the Naval Bureau of
ards and Docks, in his annual report to
the Secretary Of the Navy, says the ap-
preparation for the maintenance of repairs
and preservation has been so limited for
many years past that it has not been pos
Elble TO provide for the necessary repairs
OF arrest the destruction due to time and
neglect, and unless speedy relief is given
many public buildings, wharves and
docks viii be past repair. The Com
mandants of the various navy yards and
stations asked for S46l 1892 under lnainte-
nance, and for $S17,711 under repairs and
preservation, to maintain the naval es-
adjustments under their command. The
bureau reduced this to total of 81 900, 600,
and hopes with this amount in another
year to have everything in a creditable
condition. The report recommends that
dry docks of sufficient capacity to admit
the largest battle-ships be constructed at
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
without delay. The new nayy's demands
on this bureau are for additional wharf
room, more dry docks and better faciI-
tiles for taking coal on board and appli-
ances for handling heavy armor and

Tor immense travelling cranes at New
ork and Norfolk. The report also rec
ommendS that provision be made for
lighting the different yards with electric
}ty at the rate Of one year.
The number of naval engineers consti-
tuting the corps of that name is regarded
as insufficient to perform the duties Of
designing and constructing and main
tanning many important engineering and
architectural works under charge of the
bureau, and it is recommended the corps
be increased to twenty.
The entire amount asked for by the
bureau for the next fiscal year is $3,529,- :

CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE.

Resolutions Adopted for the Disestab-
lishment of the Church in Wales.
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 24.-The city is
crowded to its utmost extent with dele
gates to the great conference of the Ma
tional Union Conservative Associations.
The hall was packed this morning when
the conference was called to order at 1890
O'Clock. The routine business was hastily
disposed of. Lord Windsor was elected
President for the ensuing year. A num-
Der of Vice-Presidents were then elected.
after which resolution of congratuIa-
ton to Balfour, late Chief Secretary of
Ireland, upon his promotion to the posi-
ton of First Lord of the Treasury, was
adopted.
Resolutions looking toward the discs
adjustment of the church in Wales were
then presented and adopted. The follow
ing resolution was adopted: THAT hav-
ing regard for the extraordinary dispro-
portion in the representation of England.
Scotland, Wales and Ireland in the I'm
perial Parliament, it is most desirable
that steps be taken to redress these ine-
qualities"
Viscount Fielding, Conservative candi-
date for the Rugby division of Warwick
shire, offered, and the conference adopted,
| the following resolution: "That the con-
ference is of the opinion that when the
question of representation of the people
is reopened by Parliament serious CON
sideration should be given to the claims
of women to be admitted to franchise,
when entitled by ownership or occupa-
ton"
! Mrs. Fawcett, the well-known author
/ esS and leader of the Womens Suffrage
movement, in a speech said the Glad
stonians had changed their attitude on
this question because they We're afraid a
representation of women would power
fully enforce the party of order.
| Sir Albert Rollett submitted a resolu-
ton that the conference regards with
! satisfaction the improved social and in
! dustrial condition of Ireland under the
! present Government, and indorses the
| intention of the Ministers to introduce at
/ the next session bills for the extension OF
/ the local government and the promotion
of technical education there. The resolu-
I ton was heavily defeated.
| Resolutions We're adopted declaring
| that the attitude of the Conservative party
! toward bona fide Unionist Labor candi-
dates should be one of sympathy and en-
/ couragement; recommending the forma-
! ton of labor department, and hoping
! that the Government may see its way
clear to appointment of female factory
] inspectors.
The movement which resulted in the
/ decision against the Governments con-
/ tinuing to maintain Irish legislation as
the principal feature of it's policy has
| been previously described. The main
/ object OF the meeting is to apply to Eng
land the principles of the Irish Land
/ Purchase Act. Party clamor for what
/ the Conservative press now calls the
! Great Britain Agricultural Relief Bill
/ becomes daily more vehement.

down between Mills and Crisp. I shall
heartily support Mills. While many can
sdidates are strong tariff reformers, none
so prominently represents the position of
The party on this question as Mills. He
IS known to the people as a prominent
figure in the House on this question, and
ais defeat would in great measure be
accepted as an abandonment of the issue
of the tariff, the issue upon which we
must win in 1892, and there should be no
semblance OF wavering or halting at this
critical period. Unless the party stands
1irniy and aggressively in this issue, the
farmers of the Northwest, who gave us
such sweeping victories in 1890, will be-
come discouraged and may abandon hope
OF success through the organization of
our party.n

annexation question, said he felt conf
dent that he expressed the sentiment of
the American colony at Honolulu in say
ing that continuance Of an independent
monarchy was desirable. The great sugar
plantations do not represent the true in
terests of the colonists at large. He puts
no faith in the rumors that England in
tends making an effort to gain control of
the islands. In case the monarchy should
ever pass away, which it may do with
the gradual passing away of the natives,
the United States would logically and
justly gain control of the islands. as the
Americans represent the wealth, intelli-
gence and influence of the whole foreign

Brown Bros, the broken Lincoln grain
dealers, swindled him out of $4,000. 1t
seems incredible, but he says it was all
done within a period of two or three
weeks. The magnitude of business may
be inferred from the fact that there were
eighty three cars Of grain on the track at
Council Bluffs one day recently. It is
charged that the swindIing was done by
means of the manipulation of bills of
lading, drafts, changing of shipment, etc.
The Browns, however, deny allegations
