VALENCIA, Venezuela. May IT, New

alongside the federal buildings at Casacas
at o'clock this evening. Fortunately no
damage was done, but while the whole city
was in a state of terror over this discOv-
cry another bomb was fired at S: 80 p. m.
at the military headquarters. The
bomb was placed close TO the build
ing. The building was filled with
Palacio's soldiers, discussing the other ex-
plosions, when suddenly there was a
deafening report, and the structure
was violently shaken. All the panes
of glass were smashed, and every light
went out. The darkness added to the
terror of the situation. No one. however,
was killed or injured seriously. A man
who was suspected of having thrown the
bomb was arrested and the guards re-
doubled on all the roads leading out of the
city. The excitement in Caracas is greater

THE MERCHANT MARINE.

What Has Been aud What Should Be
Done to Foster 1t.
Ever since our merchant marine was
driven from the sea by the rebel cruisers
during the war of the rebellion, the
United States has been paying an enor-
NOUS annual tribute to foreign countries
in the shape of freight and passage mon
les. Our graiu and meats have been
taken at our own docks and our large i'm
ports there laid down by foreign shipmas.
ters. An increasing torrent of American
travel to Europe has contributed a vast
sum annually to the dividends of foreign
ship owners. The balance of trade shown
by the books of our custom houses has
been largely reduced and in many years
altogsther extinguished by this constant
strain. In the year 1892 the estimated
tonnage of all steamships required under
existing contracts is 165,SJ2 and when the
full service required by these contracts is
established there will be forty-one steam
ers under the American flag. The con-
tracts recently let for the trans-Atla ATTIC
service will result in the construction of
FIVE ships of ten thousand tons each, cost
ing nine or ten million dollars, and will
add, with the City of New York and City
of Paris, TO which the treasury depart
ment was authorized by legislation at the
last session, to give American registry,
seven of the swiftest vessels upon the sea
to our naval reserve. I earnestly urge a
continuance Of the policy ihaugurated by 5y
this legislation, and ttss.at the appropria-
t tinr. fequlred to meet the obligation of the
government under the contracts may be
made promptly so that the lines that hav-.
entered into these engagements may not
be embarrassed.

Mr.. Miller's Bureau Commended for Good
Work-Some Recommen ations.
The report of the attorney general is
by law submitted directly to congress, but
l cannot refrain from saying that he has
conducted the increasing work of the de-
partment of justice with great profess
sional skill. He has in several directions
secured from the courts decisions giving
increased protection to the officers of the
United States, and in bringing some
classes of crime that escaped local cogni
zance and punishment into the tribunals
of the United States, where they could be
tried in impartiality.
The president recommends a uniform
time allowance for good behavior / fed
eral prisons, and also that different de-
grees of murder should be recognized by
the federal statutes. The president also
recommends liberal appropriations for
the defense OF claims against the govern
ment, which now amount to over four
hundred millions. Many are no doubt
unjust, and therefore the means of ascer.
tanning their justice should be placed at
the disposal of the attorney general.

The report of the postmaster general

Looking After Accessories of War.
1t is believed that as the result Of new
processes in the construction of

with defensive plates of higher resist

tests have been made to ascertain the relative
efficiency OF different constructions. A torpe-

ton is now being carried on successfully We

Report of the Secretary Of the Treasury

The report of the secretary of the trea-
sury will attract especial interest in view
OF the many misleading statements that
have been made as to the state of the pub
lie revenues. Three preliminary facts
should not only be stated, but enpha-
sized, before looking into details First,
that the public debt has been reduced
since March 4, 1889, $259, Oh 200. and the
Hnnual interests charges 81 ,6s4, AGO; second,
that there have been paid out for pensions
during this administration up to Nov l,

$500, over the sum expended during the
period from March /, 1885, to March /.

been collected upon imported sugars II

this important department. In the successful

free introduction of our meat products in the
countries of Europe, the secretary has been
untiring fru,n the first, stimulating and aid
ing all other government officers, at home and
abroad, whose ofiica duties caused them to

Some Import ant Suggestions Made by
Secretary Elkins.
The report of the secretary of war
brings again to the attention of congress
SOME important suggestions as to the re-
organization of the in fantry and artillery
arms of the service, which his predecessors
have before urged. Our army is small,
but it's organization should all the more
be put up on the most approved modern
basis. The organization and the enlarge
ment of the bureau of military informa-
ton which the secretary has effected is a
work the usefulness of which will become
every year more apparent. The work of
building heavy guns and the construction
of coast defenses has beel we'll begun and
should be carried on without check.

ABOUT PENSIONS.
The President Urges That the Old Soldiers
Be Well Cared For.

The report o. the commissioner IF pensions
to which extended notice is given by the sec
rotary of the interior in his report, will at
tract great attention. Judged by the ggre-
gate amount OF work dom, the la year has
been the greatest in the history of the office.
l believe that the organization of the office is
efficient and that the work has been done with
fidelity. The passage of what is known as the
disability bill has, as was for, seen, very large
ly increased the ann&al disburs ments TO the
disabled veterans of the civil war. The esti-
mate for this fiscal year WAS .14t,O8 on, and
that amount was appropriated. A deficiency
amounting to Slo,05S 62l must be provided for
at this ses ion. The estimate for pensions for
the fiscal year ending j une3 1884, is .l65,tpP :
90. The comm ssoner of pensions believes
that, IL the present legislation and methods
are maintained and further additions to the
pension laws are not made. the maximum ex-
pendtures for pensions will be reached June
30, 1894, and will be at the highest point-SlSs,-
0U0,000 per annum.

messages that the care of the disabled soldiers
