NAVAL NEEDS.
Increased Appropriations Wanted for Re-
pairs and Maintenance.

WASHINGTON. Nov 24.-Commodore Far
quhar, Chief of the Naval Bureau of Yards
and Docks, in his annual report to the Sec
retary of the Navy, says the appropriation
for maintenance, repairs and preserva-
tion has been so limited>fOr many years past
that it has not been possible to provide for
the necessary repairs Or to arrest the de-
terioriation due to time and neglect, and
unless speedy relief is given manv public
buildings, wharveS and docks will be past
repair. The commandants of the various
navy-yards and stations asked for S46l, 1892,
under the head Of maintenance, and for
SS17,1l1 under repairs and preservation. to
maintain the naval establishments under
their command. The bureau reduced this to
total of S1,000,000. and hopes with this
amount In another year to have everything
in creditable condition.
The report recommends that dry-docks of
sufficient capacity 10 admit the largest bat
tle-ships be constructed at New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk without delay.
The new navy's demands on the bureau are
for additional wharf room, more dry. docks,
better facilities for taking coal on board
and appliances for handling heavy armor
and guns. Contracts have been entered in to
for immense travelling cranes at New York
and Norfolk.
The report also recommends that proyi-
sion be made for lighting the different yards
by electricity at the rate of one year. The
number of naval engineers constituting the
corps of that name is regarded as insufficient
to perform the duties of designing and con-
structing and maintaining the many impor-
tant engineering and architectural works
under charge of the bureau. and it is recon-
mended the corps be increased to twenty.
The entire amount asked for by the bureau
for the next fiscal year is So, 529. .976, of
which improvements and the increase of
the navy call for 81, 329, 775.

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Charges Against The Late President Of a
GaSliSht Company.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24-Wallace C. An
drews. President of the New York Steam
Company, and until recently President of
the Standard Gaslight Company, is likely
to be involved in a lawsuit with the latter
company over the validity of certain stock,
amounting to about $1,000, 600, which it is
alleged Andrews obtained illegally from
the company while its President He re-
signed two or three weeks ago, j. A. Bost-
wick being elected in his stead. 1t is said
had not Andrews resigned he would have
been expelled. An injunction was issued
to restrain him from selling or otherwise
dsposiDg of certain stock. 1t is charged
That 81 1000, GOO 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 insti-
tuted to recover block of preferred stock
held by him, and in this suit 1t is charged
that ne sub0rdinated the interests of the
gas company to those of his steam heating
companv, that the unproductive properties
OF the latter company were unloadrd on the
gas company, etc.
Mr. BOstwick, when seen to-day, said that
the company was in financial difficulties a
snort time ago. and to protect himself and
others who had gone intc it with him, he
offered to assume all the debts OF the com-
paitS uutil itS were OUT.
Andrews, whose schemes had far out
reached his capital, had made contracts
that he could not keep. As result, Bost-
wick paid ont nearly half million in thirty
days. Much against his advice, S5, 00O. 900
of stock was issued and given to Messrs
Andrews, Spinola and Monheimer for dis
tribution. Later it was discovered that
much of this was sold for insufficient com.
pensation, and the remainder was held by
the three persons mentioned above This
stock, in its present state, is tainted, and
books for transfer have been closed until
matters are Strengthened out. 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 unquestionabIy intended
putting up gas plants on it.
Andrews, when seen today, refused to
talk

Efforts to Secure Custody Of an Alleged San
Francisco Forger
OMAHA (Nebr., Nov. 24-No man in the
city of Omaha was more sought after to-day
than Mortimer Fox. The United States
authorities wanted him and the city officers
wanted him, ,-but Sheriff Boyd landed him in
the County Jail. Fox arrived some time
ago and was arrested by the police. 1t was
charged that he committed forgery while
resident OF San Francisco. The prisoner
was held and the California authorities no.
tilted. A few days later Officer Sullivan
from San Francisco arrived and secured
requisition. Fox made application for
haheas corpus. Judge Estell found the
proceedings irregular and announced
that lie gould not hold Fox, and
any attempt TO rearrest the prisoner
in the courtroom would be punished.
United States Marshal, California detec-
tive, the Omaha Sheriff and half dozen
policemen were outside and waited for Fox.
Sheriff and policemen stationed themselves
outside the door, and when Fox appeared
Boyd nabbed him and served Fox with a
writ of habeaS corpus, returnable next Fri
day. Fox is now in the County Jail. The San
Francisco officer says that he will remain
until spring before he will return without
his man. Deputy Lyon is of the opinion
that eventually he will slip the wristlets
over the hands of Fox and he will do SO by
order Of the United Stttes Court.

Purposes -IndignitiGS Denied.

LONDON, Nov. 24-The Times has a dis
patch from Santiago, Chile. saying that the
statement OF the Chilean Finance Minister

S30,090000 by Illegal issues of notes and
notes taken from the banks. and S23, 600, 600
from ordinary receipts. The Minister con-
siders that the solution of the financial
question is simple and easily within Chile
itself. The Government is cautiously ar
ranging TO reorga niZe the entire circulation.
The same dispatch notes that the recent
proposal of the different political parties to
nominate joint candidate for the Presi-
dency OF the Argentine Republic has been
definitely abandoned, and the election
prospects are now very unpromising.
