HERBERT FOR The NAVY
The Secretaryship Said to Have
Been rendered Him.
PosTMAsTeR-eENERAL

The New York Merchant Regarded a.
b1r. wsnamaker's Successor Carlisle
TO be Depended Upon for the Prepnra-
zion Of the New Tarifr Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-1t is practically
settled in the minds Of nearly everybody
around the Navy Department that Repre-
sentative II. A. Herbert of Alabama is to
be the next Secretary Of the Navy 1t is
not known exactly how the secret leaked
out, but it is stated by high official of
the department, who stumbled on the in-
formation by accident that Mr..
Cleveland has acquainted Mr.. Herbert
with his desire TO have him accept the
Navy portfolio.
1t is further learned that while Mr.
Herbert has not formally accepted the
appointment, from certain conversations
known 20 have taken place between Sec
retary Tracy ana Mr.. Herbert upon mat
ters affecting pending naval questions it
is believed there is little room for doubt
that he will accept.
Navy people generally are pleased over
the prospect of Mr.. Herbert's appoint
ment. His two terms as chairman of the
House Naval Committee have probably
more closely identified him with the naval
establishment than any other Democrat
in public life
No less than 81 of the 40 vessels of the
new navy were authorized while he was
with the House Naval COMMITTEES. His
liberal policy on the shipbulding ques-
tion, navy people think, argues well for
the navy, believing, as they do, that Mr.
Cleveland has the continued growth of
the navy in view in selecting him to pre-
side over the Navy Department.
In the discussion now in progress in
the House Naval Committee over the
question of new ships Mr. Herbert stands
practically alone among the Democrats in
favor of another batUleship.

IN SEARCH OF HIS SISTER
Young Wards Chase After an
Eloping Couple.
EN- ROUTE FOR THE PACIFIC COAST.

Tale from Chicago in Regard 10 Prom
ineut People of West Haven, Coun.,
which, However, is Discreditrd at that
Plnoe-The GirI's scheme to Raise Ten
Thousand Dollars.
CHICAGO, Feb 6.-J H. Ward, son of
Israel Ward, a banker of West Haven,
Conn, left here last night for St. Paul
He has been here since Saturday night in
search OF his sister, who eloped with
James Lewis, cashier Of the West Haven
Bank. They were married in Albany
and started westward After tracing the
couple through Canada young Ward as
certained they had come TO Chicago. At
the Wellington hotel he found the names
''Mr. and Mrs. j. JEWS, Syracuse, n. Y"
registered, but was informed by the clerk
that the couple had left yesterday morn
ing for St. Paul To reporter Ward
told this story:
'Early in December my father sailed
for Europe and before leaving home
signed a blank check which he gave to
my sister, telling her to fill it out Christ
mas time for the amount she would need
for presents and TO get the money at the
bank. Instead of using the check during
the holidays she kept it until Jan. 10,
when, as believe, according to an under
standing with Lewis, the cashier of the
bank, she presented the check filled out
for $4,000, which he as cashier was
bound to honor, as the signature on the
check was genuine
1.-TWO days after she received the
money my sister left to visit her aunt,
Mrs. John Myers, in Albany, and week
later Lewis followed her, without giving
any notice at the bank of his intention to
leave.
'An investigation followed, and the
item of $1,000 paid to my sister by
Lewis was discovered. The bank officials
were powerless in the matter, as the
transaction was regular on its face, and
the check was genuine.
Further investigation Of the books
developed that Lewis had in his possess
sion certain knowledge regarding ac-
counts aud securities about which the Of
hcials were entirely at sea without his
assistance, and IA search was made for the
missing cashier.
''Aly object in meeting my sister is to
try TO persuade her to return home. l
also expect to get from him the knowl-
edge the officials seek. / think the couple
are on their way to the Pacific Coast"

. spatch on the Lewes Ward elopem ent,

/ Lewis paid marked attention to Miss
Ward, but whether he is the person al
luded to in the despatch cannot be

Wallace w. Ward, the girls uncle
positively refuses to discuss the elope-
ment matter. There is no bank in the
town of West Haven and consequently no

RELIGIOUS TROUBLE IN MADRID.
A Bomb Exploded at the Opening OF a
Protestant Church.

MADRID, Feb 6.-The excitement
caused among Roman Catholics by the
opening of a Protestant church in this
city several weeks ago still threatens
trouble
When the Protestants announced four
days ago that they would meet yesterday
afternoon in the church opposite the Jes-
uit college the police feared counter
demonstration to the Catholic student
riot on Barcelona on Jan 80.
When the Protestants assembled they
found a strong posse Of police and about
100 of the Civil Guard drawn up around
the college.
During the services a petard exploded
a few yards from the church Three po-
licemen and a civilian were wounded.
The services were cut short, and the
congregation hurried in panic from the
edifce.
Nothing has been ascertained as to the
identity of the person who exploded the
petard.

TESTING LIE vEsuNus.
The Patent Fuses Have Arrived and
Louded shells win be Tried.

inc Ihtent fuSes have Arrived ana
Loaded shells win be Tried.
PoRT ROYAL, S. c., Feb. 6.-The fuses
for the loaded shells to be fired by the
Vesuvius this week are now in the Port
Royal express Office. As Captain Zapieff,
inventor Of the fuses, has not yet secured
patent on them, it is difficult to obtain
an ineligible description of their mech
ansm.
The fuse is contained in movable case
which may be kept free from the shell
until the latter is ready for firing. The
case contains illuminate of mercury with
appliances for decorating it, and next to
1t Is placed a layer of dry gun cotton to
act as primer to full a charge of wet
gun cotton
The fuse has a duplex action and may
be exploded either by impact or by a
powder train. Eight percussion caps,
each with its own plunger, are arranged
around the fuse. The plungers are with
held by springs and while quiet are seps-
rated from the caps by metal plates.
Immediately after firing, the plates
become free and slide from between the
plunger and the caps Upon impact the
plungers are driven against the caps, and
an explosion is produced.
In the second case ball held in place
by strong springs is set in motion when
the shell strikes the water, and its for
ward flight ignites a time train which
explodes the shell after it has passed 90
yards under water
The firing of dummy shells, of which
six remain, will be finished to-day, and
then the Vesuvius will drop down the
river and prepare herself for moving
trials

Lawyers on Both Sides Hard ut Work on
New Evidence.

OCEAN GROVE, N. j.. FEB. 6.-The peo-
pie of this place and Asbury Park have
been much wrought up for the past few
days over the efforts being made by
agents Of Distrtot-AttornOy Nicoll, OF
New York, on tho one side, and Howe &
Hummel on The oCher, in the procuring OF
aliidaviCs bearing on the alleged newly
discovered evidence in the Carlyle w.
Harris case.
In the case Of Howe & Hummel the Sf-
forts, it seems, were almost fruitless, but
the representative of the district attorney
has gone away with his pockets filled
with aflidavits for the prosecution.
George Potts, father of the unfortu-
nate girl-wife of Harris, said this morn
ing:
81 don't feel at liberty to divulge the
exact nature or strength of the affidavit $
or the names of the parties making them,
but Of one thing you may be sure-they
will successfully refute every allegation
contained in tho affdavits recently OBJ
tanned by Howe & Hummel."

DR.. GRAVES OUT ON BAIL,
Released from the Penitentiary Pending a
New Trial.

DENVER, Col, Feb 6.-Dr I. Thatcher
Graves who a little over year ago was
convicted of poisoning Mrs. Josephine
Barnaby of Providence, R. l., and was
sentenced to be hanged but subsequently
granted a new trial, was released from
the penitentiary Saturday and is in this
city for the purpose of furnishing bail
pending a rehearing of his case.
DR.. Graves is hale and hearty and does
not show any traces of his long inn
prisonment. He retains his old time
courtesy and pleasant manner.
The doctor is of course happy at being
free again as there is no probability Of
his case ever being tried the second time,
because OF the great expense attached to
the trial and the absence of witnesses.

mept Causing Much Discussion.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 6.-The criticism
upon the appointment by the President
of Judge jackson to succeed the late AS
sociate Justice Lamar on the Supreme
Bench made by Gen. J. S. Clarksol is the
subject of considerable discussion among
politicians,
The fact that Mr.. Clarkson has re-
quested Senator Cullom to protest
against the confirmation of Judge jack
sons nomination added interest to the
affair.
Senator Cullom was seen this morning,
and asked what action, if any he had
determined to take.
He said that he had been 80 busy with
other matters that he had been Unable to
consider the subject, and had nothing to
say as to his intentions with regard to
the nomination
1t is not considered probable by many
Senators that Judge Jacksons's nomina-
tion will be rejected.

Mr. Cleveland's regard for the Straus
family is well known. He appointed
Oscar Straus Minister to Turkey Since
the President-elect came to Lakewood he
has been in almost daily consultation
with Mr.. Straus, and it has been in the
air for days that the latter was to have
an appointment of some kind. Mr. Straus

deal of money in booming the Cleveland
