cess he reported that 1t could not be found
and suggested that it had probably been
thrown in the waste basket, although 1t
was not customary to destroy COPY ia the
government printing office.
G. w. Perkins and Columbus Thomas,
builders, had bid upon the work and had
included In their bids amounts for shor-
ing. They had seen the wreck and found
no evidence of snoring.
VERY POOR WORK.
Columbus Cissel, bricllayer Of forty
years experience, had seen the work
progressing two days before the collapse
and saw no snoring. Since the collapse
he had made an examination of the build
ing and concluded that the unskillful
manner in which the work was done
caused the accident. The work, he said,
was about the worst he ever saw He
had examined the character Of the cement
used, and in his opini0n it was very poor.
He believed the work should not have
been done at all. MIR, Cissel considered
that there would have been no danger to
the clerks if the work had been done
properly.

The Race in the First Seventy Dis
triots Heard From a Close One.
Berlin, June 15.-Eleetion day brought
tropical heat to all parts of the empire
In Berlin the pavements have been scorch-
ing. Apparently the election has been a
notably quiet one. At o'clock p M
nothing positive was lS2own of the cleo
tion, although dispatches from 100
electoral districts indicated that the
socialists had secured thirty Of Them and
the conservatives, Richterists, (radical)
peoples party and Lieber clericals had
divided the other ninety among them.
In Berlin there has been complete
absence of all excitement. The wealthier
classes seemed to be apathetic as to the
outcome of the elections The authori-
ties fearing disorders among the voters
of the lower class had troops and reserve
police kept in the barracks so as to be
ready to repress any outbreak Very
few went to the polls before noon. AT
that hour the workmen left the factories.
They walked in groups 10 the voting sta
tions and deposited their ballots The
socialists displayed me e activity than
any other of the political groups. The
women seemed to be as deeply interested
in the success of the social democratic
candidates as were the men of the party
and they labored in every way to aid the
cause.
THE VOTE IN BERLIN.
The vote in Berlin is 10000 over the
vote of 1890
The socialists have been equally sue
cessful in Hamburg and Altoona. IN spite
of tremendous exertions the united con
servative and anti-Semites have lost {, COO
votes as compared with 1890, and the
radicals have lost nearly 1000. II
is stated that the socialists are
likely to win three out of four of the re-
ballots against the radicals In Berlin
not a single candidate pledged to support
the army bill has gained even the barest
honor OF a reballot. Not 10 per cent of
the votes cast in Berlin were
given in favor of the army
bill Seldom has the city spoken in such
emphatic tones. The provincial returns
same direction. The great success of the
social democrats has caused profound
sensation.
THE GOVERNMENT BEHIND.
Berlin, June Is, $50 a. NAT 2 o'clock
this morning returns from 20 districts in
dicate that SO have been carried by par
ties opposed to the army bill, Is have
been carried for parties favoring the bill
and 10 are in doubt between the govern
ment and opposition parties, with the
chances in a majority of them strongly in
favor of the government.
The government parties have lost three
of their former seats-two to the Rich
terists, or social democrats, as the second
ballot shall decide, and one to the South
German democrats.
The government has won one seat from
the opposition.
The social democrats have won two
seats, besides having secured many
chances for new victories on the second
ballot Although the social democrat
gains are. undoubtedly enormous
they will not prove so large probably as
the reports so far have Indicated Re
turns from the cities come in first, and it
is in the cities that the social democratic
candidates always run best.

sAvANNAH's PUBLIC BUILDING.
The architect of the treasury said to-
day that the talk about advertising for
bids for the construction of the Savannah
public building was riff raft. When the
plans were completed the government
would construct the building in the usual
way. The act authorizing bids for the
construction of public buildings will have
to be amended before it can become oper-
ative, according to the supervisor.
Senator Gordon left for Atlanta last
night, and Representative Lester turned
his face homeward to-day.

NO COMPOSITE GUNBoATs.
The Navy Department Not Author
lied to Construct Them.

The Navy Department Not Author
lied to Construct Them.
Washington, June 15.-The Attorney
General has dashed the hopes of the con-
struction corps of the navy by ruling that
the department cannot build new gun
boats of the composite type. The ques-
tion was submitted to him by Secretary
Herbert whether he could lawfully con-
tract for the construction of one or more
of the light draught gunboats authorized
by the act of March 3, 1898, on what is
called the composite plan, the hull frames
being of steel covered by wood planl1ing
and sheathed with copper. The Attor-
ney General says; ''In my Judgment the
act contemplates the construction of
light draught protected gunboats of steel
and does not authorize the building of
such gunboats on the composite plan"
So it appears that the new boats will
have to be built of steel throughout, and
without a sheath to protect them from
the growth of marine vegetation, which
involves frequent docking at great ex-
pense. The decision, however, will not
delay the completion of the plans for the
boats to any considerable extent, for the
construction bureau had already pre-
pared rough designs for vessels of the all
steel type to meetsthe contingency,

MINISTER no HAWA11.
New Men Named Before It is Known
Whether Blount Has Resigned.

Washington, June 15.-The name of
Thomas E. Crittenden, consul general at
the City of Mexico, and of Judge Sneed,
both Of Kentucky, are said to be under
consideration in connection with the ap-
pointment of successor to J. H. Blount
of Georgia, as United States minister to
the Hawain Islands. OGossip has it that
one of them will be chosen, but there is
no agreement as to which one. Secretary
Gresham was asked Friday if it were
true that Consul General Crittenden had
been offered and refused the position. He
replied that Gen. Crittenden had not re-
fused the appointment but he would say
nothing further. Later, he was asked if
it were true that Mr.. Blount had resigned
and that Judge Sneed had been offered
the place of minister. To this inquiry he
responded: II have nothing to give out
on the subject"

CLERKS OUT OF A JOB.
Sixty-seven Men Dropped from the
General Land Office Force.


General Land Office Force.
Washington, June l5.-To-day the names
OF sixty-seven clerks were dropped from
the rolls of the general land Office OF
this number six are from class 4 Isl 800
per annum), nineteen from class 8 Isl, 500,
sixteen from class 2 Isl, 400, ten from class
l l$I, |UO), eight from the 81 900 class and
eight from the copyist class of 5000. In
making this reduction, which was recon-
mended by the former commissioner of
the general land office, and made obliga-
tory by the legislative appropriation bill
passed by the last congress, Secretary
Smith has been guided by desire to
ralse the standard of the service, and to
that end politics have not been per-
mltted to enter into the question
OF who should be dismissed and who re-
tanned, 1t is known that clerks without
any political support, whatever, been re-
6ained, while others having the personal
friendship and influence of prominent
democratic senator's and members of the
House, and others high in official life,
nave been dismissed The strict rule of
etnclency, shaded now and then by a de-
sire not to infict too grievous a hardship,
has been the controlling force in making
all the removals.

wARsH1Ps AT THE 1srHMUs.
Yellow Fever Appears and the Vessels
VIII Probably Leave.

Washington, June 15.--Word was re-
ceived at the navy department to-day
that the United States ship Atlanta has
arrived at Colon for coal. Yellow fever
has appeared at some points ~on the
isthmus and as affairs in Nicaragua ap-
pear to have quieted down it is probable
that the United States naval vessels will
not be kept much longer in that vicinity.
The Alliance will probably go down the
coast of South America as far as Callao
and remain there until the Philadelphia
arrives in Peruvian waters, which it is
expected will be some time in August, so
that United States naval vessels will be
on hand during and after the elections in
July.
The Atlanta, meantime, will return to
Greytown. She reports that she left
everything quiet and harmonious in
Nicaragua, and matters are also quiet on
the isthmus.
