TRACY'S new SCHEME.
The Civil Service Rule TO Be Apllied to
Mare Island NlVy-Yard Employees.

WASHINGTON. April 1S.-Secretary Tracy
will next apply his civil service methods to
the Mare Island Navy-yard. He will reach
that point with his new policy within sixty
days. As soon as everything is in smooth
working order at the New York and Nor
folk yards he will turn his attention to the
Pacific Coast. A board. consisting of FIVE
reliable officers. will be appointed TO carry
out the policy he has inaugurated. They
will be given regulation instructions with
such additions as may be required by the
conditions at the Mare Island yard. The
board to be created TO carry out the new
policy will disregard politics entirely in its
consideration. or applicants for positions
in all the skilled labor departments Ameri-
can citizens, however, will be given the
preference in all cases. Examinations will
be held at stated times, the dates to be made
to conform as nearly to the best interests of
the applicants as possible. The first to
come will be the first served, and all who
apply will be examined and placed on the
eligible list if their standing is satisfactory.
The list will be composed of those who
make a showing above a certain per cent.
Those who fall below this per cent will not
be elig bic to an appointment, but can have
an opportunity of applying at other exam
nations. Each board In choosing employees
for its yard will give its own applicants
preference over the eligible list at other
points, but i'll the event that the board at
Mare Island is unable at any time to get
wOrkmen as efficient as desired the difficulty
viii be overcome by seeking relief at other
wards

NEW YORK, April 1S.-A Nicaragua lat
ter from staf correspondent OF the T1ib-
une says: The English here are intensely
hostile to the American canal and are doing
everything in their power to discredit the
enterprise. Having demonstrated to their
own satisfaction the impractlcabiltty OF the
canal project, they bring forward their rail-
way scheme for connecting the two coasts.
An English syndicate has been formed tor
the purpose Of constructing railway from
the San Mbaldo, on the eastern shore of
Lake Nicaragua. to Rama, on the edge OF
the Mosquito Reservation.
Surveys have been completed and work
has been begun on the roadbei at San
UbaldO. Engineers are now surveying TIE
boundary line between Nicaragua and
Costa Rica in accordance with the treaty
and President Cleveland's decisions, but
there is no certainty that 1t Will be accepted
by Nicaragua when the survey is completed.
The boundary question will have to be set
tied before the main work on the canal can
be undertaken, either with or withoHt the
Government guarantee from the United
States. Some degree of pressure must
finally be brought TO bear upon the two
Jealous States in order to induce them TO
come to terms with each other, ratify the
contracts and concessions with the canal
company and cease wrangling over their
frontier lines. The United States Govern
ment is in a position to exert this pressure
whenever it desires to do so.

4 FFonzied Lover Murders a Woman and
Suicides.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-When the steam
ship Elder swung out from her pier In Ho-
boken, this afternoon. several of the crew
were swabbing uD big pools of blood in the
steerage. A double tragedy had been enacted
there half an honr before.
Philip 0hnaker had killed Mrs. Catherine
Barth and then sent bullet crashing
through his own weak brain. Two children
arc left in Germany to mourn the loss OF
the woman. She has husband there too,
but it is not likely he will shed tears over
her taking off, because she lett him to come
here with Ohnaker.
The suicide was a soldier stationed In
Germany. and yielding to the persistent
pleading NJ the woman came with her TO TINS
country, where they lived as man and wife
They lived on a farm here, and the woman
tiring of her l2ver neglected him in many
ways, and finally announced her intention
of returning home.
Ohnaker tried to change her purpose, and
followed her TO the dock to renew his plead
ings. He had no money to purchase ticket
to accompany her, and in his desperation
said she should not go. For reply, she
walked aboard the steamship and into the
steerage, and he followed her. You shall
not Leave" he said, ''unless we go together"
and drawing a revolver fred bullet into
her brain. He instantly turned the weapon
on himself, and in moment both lay dead.

MAN-OF-WAR B0OMERANGS.

Shooting Which Shakes Up the Naval
Shooter Until He Begins to Quake.
"Few people," says naval officer. zap
preciate the tremendous nature of the blast
caused By firing big gun on board of a
ship. An example of its effect was seen In
some recent trials in firing the 67-ton gun
of the batte-ship Trafalgar, considered one
of the three or four finest vessels in the
British Navy. The gun was pointed di-
rectly ahead and fired with a charge of 63 0
pounds of slow-burniug powder and a 1850
pound projectile.
"The blast produced by the rush Of the
powder gas and the shot was so tremendous
that the plates of the forecastle were forced
in and the deck beams bent out of shape,
while almost every round carried away
some fragment of the projecting por-
tions of the ship. even when the training was
to the right or the left. 1t is estimated that
the vessel would be reduced to something
very like wreck were twenty-f five rounds
to be fired. either directly ahead or directly
astern. This interferes with, or renders
impossible, firing when either in flight or
chase, and has caused our naval constructors
to modify the plans for the projected bat tie
ship, as it is not deemed desirable to have
them sink from the discharge Of their own
guns."-N Y. Continent.

becomes known that this great advance OF
the Columbian Exposition is in the city,
the people are manifestins their apprecia-

not confined to the people OF Chicago and
the State of Illinois, but in Indiana wonder
full interest is shown. On Tuesday Of next
week there will be IN immense excursion
filing several special trains from all along
the line of the Chicago ana Eastern illinois
as far as Terre Haute. Last night an order
came to the Carnival from South Bend,
Ind, for 400 tickets and an excursion Is
announced from there on Friday next, OF
probably 1000.
The Inter Ocean says: This is doubtless
the greatest citrus exhibit, both in magni-
tude aud beauty of design. ever made in the
United States, and too much encourage
ment cannot be given the California people
for the magnificent enterprise and spirit
they are showing in Worlds Fair matters.
So far this grand State stands first and at
the head of all the other States in the

THE HORRORS OF WAR.
Reported Success of Chilean Insurgents-Gre
I,nss nf Life

Reported Success of chilsan Insurgents Great
Loss of Life.
New YORK, April ia letter to the
Herald from Santiago, Chile, dated March
18th, says: u have just come from the De-
partment Of War, where l was able to obtain
all the facts relative to the second battle OF
Pozo de Aimonte which, as yet, had not
been made public. At Valparaiso the reb-
els in the dead of night spiked all the guns
of the fortress of Los Andes aud captured
the transport Maipu without firing gun or
losing man. In Pozo de Almonte the loyal
troors were defeated, over 100 of their
number being dead. 1900 wounded and 1000
prisoners. All the guns and artillery parks
in the north are in the hands of the insur-
gents, and every steamer chartered by the
Government TO bring arms has invariably
been captured by tho insurgents.
'The Government is forcing into military
service every man it can lay hands on, and
in many instances violence is used
''Th3 end of this fratredal war is near at
hand. Demoralzed by his recent defeats,
and without any prestige, Balmaceda sees
that he is being gradually forced to the
wall. He has made a new emission of
SIS, ,000, 900 paper money and issued an order
by which nobody is allowed to leave the
country. In several instances, noticeably
near the Argentine frontier, tourists have
been stopped by Chilean guards and thrown
into prison.
"The Consular and diplomatic corps In a
body have protested against the contin IL
ance OF the presentcivil war as being against
all principles Of humanity, and fratrlcldal
war whereby the interests and rights OF
their respective citizens were violated and
completely dlsregarded."

Secretary Fosters Plan to Float Maturing
Bonds at Reduced Interest.
WASHINGTON, April Is. - Prospective
large payments on account of pensions. pub
lie works, maturing bonds, ETC., and the
rather low ebb of receipts, with the result
ing possibilities of the disappearance of the
surplus, is causing some uneasness among
the financial officers of the Treasury. Be-
sides endeavoring to put in circulation the
subsidiary silver coins, Secretary Foster
per cent bonds, amounting to $50, 000, 600,
which mature next September. The Secre-
tary believes that the national hanks, which
hold S12,000,0O0 of these bonds, would be
glad to retain them as basis for circula-
tion, even at a reduced rate of interest. 1t is
regarded as feasible. perhaps, to float these
bonds at per cent. The Secretary finds a
precedent for the plan in the action of Sec
rotary Window in 1851.
