Startling Discovery.
WAsHINGToN. Nov. l.-Secretary Her.
bert has made startling discovery,
which will probably lead to an extended
investigation. The charge is made by
competent authority that no less than six
new vessels are today in condition as
to he unfit for sea service and unsafe to
send out of the sight of the land.
There may be other ships, and the closer
the secretary looks into the method of
building ships of war the more probable
IL becomes that there were few, il any,
ships free of the serious faults now charged
against the battleship Massachusetts and
the gunboats Machias, Castine, Mont
gomery, Marblehead and Detroit.
At present the naval constructors are
bearing the burden of the cont plants, as
naturally in matters of construction the
department turns to the corps charged
with the building of the ships. The con-
structors place the blame elsewhere, and
say they made their calculations for the
vessels named according To reports sub
mittcd from the different bureaus, and the
tanned on the strength OF the plans fur
nished from these sources.
Changes were in each instance found to
have been made without reporting the
fact to the bureau of construction aud rc-
pairs. These changes and notifications
altered the conditions materially on boa ID

ity,

the corresponding period IN 1892.

James A. Bailey AbandOnS the Big
POrepauSh Show.
ROBBED BY TRUSTED EMPLOYES.
over 500. 900 Stolen from Him During
the Last Season by n Combination OF
Dishonest Employees The 4-Paw
show VIII Never Again he Seen.

BosroN, Nov. Ia Herald special
from Bridgeport, Conn, says: cit is
practical certainty that the Forepaugh
show, of which James A. Bailey is the
owner, will not again 90 on the road; at
least under the propretorship OF Mr..
Bailey. The reason is substantial one.
Mr. Bailey has been robbed, and the sum
filched from him, from trustworthy re-
ports, is between $50 900 and. $4,000
The matter has been kept very quiet. Mr..
Bailey, only few weeks before the close
OF the circus season made the discovery
that he had been the victim OF a whole
sale robbery and at once took steps to pre-
vent the matters becoming public until he
had made a full investigation. Since the
return to the winter quarters in this cit,
Of Barnum & Bailey's show there have
been rumors afloat here that there was
scandal connected with the Forepaugh
show, but, owing to the secrecy observed,
1t has been difficult TO ascertain the par.
tculars. Since the death OF Mr.. Barnum,
Mr. Bailey has been the sole proprietor OF
the Forepaugh show, he having purchased
the interests OF Mr.. Barnum aud George
Cooper, who had been equal partners witk
him in the property. Mr.. Bailey placed
the Forepaugh show under the manage.
ment of JOS McCadden, bis brother-n.
law, and retained as secretary Thomas
Evans, who had been Mr., Barnum's rep
resentative in the show. Shortly after
the show went on the road McCadden in
stalled his nephew as cashier. All that
the Herald reporter could learn from the
attaches OF the Barnum 4 Bailey show
was that Mr.. Bailey says that nearly $780,.
600 has been stolen from him In the Fore-
paugh show, and that he has discovered
that there has been a conspiracy which in
cluded employees in all departments from
the ticket wagon to door tenders aud
ushers. Only through such combination
would it have been possible for such
wholesale thievery to be committed. II is
said that Evans and McCadden are free
from suspicion, but that, as the result OF
what Mr.. Bailey has discovered, a number
Of arrests may be made any day. Mr.
Bailey has positively declared his intention
OF not sending the Forepaugh show out
again"

The developments in the opium
cases yesterday did not amount to
anything until nightfall, beyond the
fact that Miss Susie Nelson, the
stewardess of the Australia, surrend-
cred herself to the authorities at $3.50
p. NJ, and was released with the
understanding that Mr.. Hammer
would. be responsible for her appear
ance when required. The lady gave
Captain Klemme quite race before
he finally located her and then she
took the wind out of his sails by sur
rendering herself before he had time
to serve the warrant on her. She
was first traced to a residence on
Pensacola street where she had sup
per on Thursday evening. Thence
she went to Pawaa, and was finally
located at No. 5 Kukui street.
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning a
warrant was issued for Chris. Gertz
and he was soon arrested by Captain
Parker and escorted to the police
station, whence he was released
shortly afterwards upon giving bail
in the sum of $1,000, with W. NJ.
Cunningham as surety.
At about 5 Pm. last night the police
Office was thrown into q state of ex-
citement by the announcement that
another big haul of opium had been
made. The circumstances of the last
capture are as follows At 5 PM. a
Portuguese and native, who live at
Kalihi, close to the leper receiving
station, noticed two white men land
from boat and disappear in the
bushes near by. Their actions were
so unusual that the two decided to
investigate. AS soon as they came
near, the two white men took TO their
heels and disappeared in the bushes.
This suspicious proceeding caused
the Portuguese to examine the boat,
and the result of his examination
brought 20 light box containing 234
tins of opium. This was conveyed
to the police station and placed in
the care of Captain Klemme, who
ordered the boat left by the men to
be brought around to Honolulu. 1t
is understood, however, that it has
no name or mark by which its owners
can be identified, being q small or
binary fiat bottOmed boat.
Captain Klemme is of the opin-
ion that this opium is part
of very recent shipment, and
that the box originally contained
400 tins. He hopes to discover the
balance tomorrow, it having probably
been buried by the two white men
before their operations were inter
rupted-
From private sources the ADTER-
T1sER has been given to understand
that at least 1000 tins of opium we're
concealed in various parts of the
Australia on her last trip, and that
one of the parties interested has
given away the whole business to tue
azthorities here, which will account
for the unusual activity displayed by

TIE ANNEXATION CLUB.
It's Membership Still on the In
crease-CInb Notes.

Some miscreant, without the fear
of the New York Herald and other
Anglophobic sheets before his eyes,
defaced the blackboard in the an
nexation clubrooms yesterday by
marking on it, "Chas. Nordhoff,
Champion Liar" Strange to say,
no member of the club has yet
been found who will wipe out the
inscription.
There are over 5000 names on
the roll of the club at the present
writing. In spite of this fact new
members are signing the roll daily,
seventeen having done so since
Monday.
OF the $50 annexation buttons
received on Wednesday but 100 re-
manned last night at the club, so
great has been the demand for
them Fifty were sent to the Hilo
club and about sixty more to other
clubs, thu balance being distributed
in this city.

From Daily, May. 10.

Through the courtesy of custom
house officials the ADVERTISER is
enabled to give the following facts
concerning recent seizures of opium.
The amount seized on Wednesday
was 100 tins and not 300 as re-
|. ported. This was found in boxes Of
apples with Chinese mark, stored
in stateroom.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. San
ders made a thorough and sytematic
search of the cabins of the various
officials on board, not even neglect
ing the cabin of Miss Susie Nelson,
the stewardess. They even had
the temerity to investigate the con-
tents of that lady's trunk about 10
A. NJ. and their zeal was rewarded
by the discovery of eighty-two tins
of opium concealed therein. A
warrant was Immediately issued
for her arrest charging her with the
unlawful possession of opium. The
police believe Miss Nelson is evad-
ing arrest and up to a late hour
last night they had been unable to
find her, although it is known she
is in town.
In the meantime every case OF
merchandise which came over the
side was carefully scrutinized, and
in many instances opened and the
contents thoroughly examined. An
innocent looking shipment OF
twenty-three cases of boots and
shoes, consigned to c. Gertz, the
well-known boot and shoe dealer,
was sent to the custom house at
80 P. NJ, and one case opened. In
it were found twenty-eight tins Of
opium. The other cases were then
carefully examined, but nothing
further was discovered. No war
rant has been issued in Mr.. Gertz's
case, and no determination has as
yet been arrived at.
The remaining portion of the
cargo will be searched still more
closely as a result of yesterdays
discoveries, and further develop
ments may be expected at any
time.
