AFFAIRS OF THE NAVY.
The Annual Report Submitted by secre-
tarY Herbert.

tary Herbert.
WASHINGTON, November 20. - The
Secretary of the Navy in his annual re-
port says that the Marblehead, Colum-
bia, Olympia, Montgomery and Mime
apolis have been completed and tried
since the last annual report. The Ore
gon, Indiana and Texas have had un-
official preliminary trials and the Maine
her official machinery trial. The de-
partment has finally decided upon the
construction OF topedo boats of the gen.
eral type Of the Ericsson with slightly
greater displacement, and to attain an
average speed OF not less than "a. 3 knots
on the acceptance trial. Advertise
ments for proposals have already been
Issued, and the department hopes to
award the contract for their construction
within few months. No speed premi-
ums will be provided for in the con-
tracts for the building of these vessels.
In the contracts for the construction OF
gunboats Nos. 7, 8 and small premiums
and penalties were provided for. This
system undoubtedly had its advantages
when adopted, but reflection has con-
vinced the department that the time has
come when, with the experience that
has been gained, it may with profit be
abandoned. The construction of torpedo
boats is still actively carried on abroad,
seventeen countries having 1888 such
vessels on hand and 1872 in course OF con-
struction. The smallest number DOS
sessed by any one of them is twenty
two, while the United States with more
seacoast and more ports than any of
these nations has of this class of naval
vessels only six, and in this number are
included the three now about to be built.
A summary OF the conditions of the
vessels under construction is as follows
The first class battle-ship Iowa is ex-
pected to be completed during the LATTER
part of 1896. The first-class battle-ships
Indiana, Massachusetts, and Oregon will
be In condition for acceptance by the
government within the coming year.
The second-class battle-ship Maine will
be ready Tor commissioning before the
end OF this fiscal year. The second class
battle-ship Texas is practically ready for
her machinery trial, and should be COM
pleted and ready for commissioning q
few months later. The armored cruiser
Brooklyn is expected to be completed
during the early months OF 1896. The
double -turreted monitors Puritan and
Monadnock will probably be ready for
trial before the end OF this fiscal year.
Work on the double turreted monitors
Terror and Amphitrite is so well adj
vanced that in case of an emergency
these vessels could be prepared for serv-
ice within few months. The armored
ram Katahdin will probably be COM
pleted during the early part OF the next
fiscal year. The three gunboats Nos. 7,
and 8, now being built at the Newport
News Ship building and Dry Dock Com
pany's works, will probably be completed
within the contract time.

WILL FALL ON SMALL INVESTORS

Two Per Cent to be Deducted From
Earnings to Pay Income Tax.
New York, November 20.-The action
OF the Catawissa railway directors (the
road leased to the Philadelphia and Read
ing) in deducting 2 per cent from the
net earnings to meet the new income tax
has created some CONSERVATION among
small investors, who had believed they
were safe so long as their annual incomes
were within the 81 900 limit. sour road
has not taken any action in the matter"
said Chauncey NJ. Depew. "Some time
ago delivered an opinion at a board
meeting that the law was unconstitu-
tional, and | believe it is. In the first
place do not believe the law will ever
be put into force. There is no appropr-
alton adequate for the purpose, and un-
less the present Congress provides money
before next March a. u becomes in
operative. IL the law is carried out, |
sumo that the New York Central aud
all other roads will deduct the amount
OF the tax from their earnings, in which
case twill fall on the stockholders. This
makes the law pretty hard on investors
who own small holdings of stock, but
whose incomes do not even approach the
limit established by the new law"

FATE OF THE lVANHOE.
One of Her Life Buoys Has Been Found
on Vancouver Island.

One of Her Life Buoys Has Been Found
on Vancouver Island.
SEATTLE, November 27.-A special to
The acknowledgement from Victoria
says that the wreckage reported ashore
on the northwestern end OF Vancouver
Island as that OF the ill-fated Ivanhoe is
now proved beyond doubt, and when
the steamer Mischief returns it is more
than probable that Captain Foot, her
master, will have definite news of the
fate OF this long-missing vessel. The
coasting steamer Maude retured tonight
from the west coast, having gone as far
north as Kyukot Sound. The weather
during the trip was too rough to permit
much investigation, and the captain had
not heard before starting of the reports
brought by the steamer Mystery last
week. Almost his first words on land
ing were, however, of the Ivanhoe. He
said:
/" / guess there is no further hope for
the Ivanhoe. She's made another of the
long list of vessels battered to pieces on
tllC NCoI COdSI vi IlllS lSldUu. w HeI we
were at Barclay Sound we heard of her.
Two white miners called last Tuesday at
an Indians hut near the entrance to the
sound, and the first thing they noticed
in the place was one of the Ivanhoe's g
life buoys hanging on the wall. There
was no doubt as to the identity, for the
ships name and her port were clearly
marked. They waited for some time for
the Indians to return, so that they might
question them regarding the buoy, but
all hands were away fishing and there
was no telling when they would be back.
The men looked around, but could see
no other signs of wreckage, so they came
down and reported what they had seen
to me, requesting that l make known
the fact on reaching port. As a large
number of the Ipdians along Barclay
Sound just now have recently arrived
from farther up the coast, it is most
likely that the lvanhoe's buoy had been
brought down from Kyukot or Cape
Scott. had not heard of the wreckage
found there. as reported by the steamer
Mystery's engineer, but this would ap-
pear to corroborate it and settle its iden-
tlty as that of the Ivanhoe."

view TO the capture OF Peking is
rot doubted here. The capture oil Iort
Arthur, which was officially confirmed at
the Japanese legation to-day through
message from the Chief Secretary at ma
val headquarters to Lieutenant MyaoKa,
the naval attache here, makes easy the
nrogress of the japanese troops to- the
Chinese capital. Competent military
authorities, who are thoroughly familiar
with the physical conditions OF emma,
saw that a Japanese army could march
from the east coast OF the Gulf OF Re
Chi Ii to Peking in ten days. 1t is be,
Iieyed that the third army under Field
Marshal Avama, which is vaguely re-
ferred to in the recent dispatches from
the East, is not in fact third army, but
simply a division of the troops which
have captured Port Arthur. These, 1t IS
said will be pushed across the gull ana,
when suitably reinforced, hurried to Pc
king.
THE ENGLISH PRESS.
LONDON, November 27.-The Times
will say tomorrow Perhaps Japan's
policy will continue until the arrogance
of the Chinese be beaten down. AL
though the capture Of Port Arthur is OF
the highest strategic Importance, it is no
reason why the powers should depart
from their neutrality.
The Daily News will say: To further
prolong the struggle would be an ottense
against humanity. We hope that Japan
will hear favorably her abject enemy's
Overtures.
The Standard will say: Probably Wei
Hal Wei and New Chang will be cap
tured in few days. Japan ought now
to accept Mr.. Altring's offer of peace;
China will waive all rights to Corea and
pay G25, 100000, if Japan insists on such
sum, although China could not raise it
without being crippled for half CEN
tury. The countries which hitherto have
stood aside must decide soon whether
they will allow Japan to crush China ut
terly, not alone politically, but also COM
mercially. The Anglo Russian entente
can be directed to urging Japan to be
temperate in the use of her victory.

Suit Against Senator Squire.

UTICA, N. Y, November 2S.-Before
Justice Williams in a special term OF the
Supreme Court this morning was be-
gun the suit of Floyd G. Sheppard
against Senator Watson G. Squire OF
Washington State. 1t is alleged that
about twenty-five years ago Colonel w.
G. King of Minneapolis, Phio Osgood,
John N. Goodwin and p. Remington of
Ilion, N. Y, purchased large tract of
land near Seattle, Wash. In 1873 the
property was turned over in trust to Mr..
Remington. When Mr.. Remington died,
some years afterward, the property came
into the hands of Senator Squire. This
suit was instituted on behalf of King,
Osgood and Goodwin to compel an ac-
counting, it being alleged that none has
ever been made.

THOSE INDICTMENTS.
Governor Hogg of Texas Says He Knows
Nothing of them.

Governor Hogg of Texas Says He Knows
Nothing of them.
AUSTIN, November r26.-Governor Hogg
was interviewed to-day about the indict-
ments alleged to have been returned by
the Mcclellan county grand jury against
John D. Rockefeller, William Rockefel-
Ter, ". NJ Flagler and others of the
Standard Oil Company for violation OF
the antitrust law. He disclaimed know
ing anything about them. No requisi-
tion papers for the gentlemen had been
issued nor have they been asked for.
In the Attorney Generals Office the only
information vouchsafed was that the
case was in the hands of Assistant At
torney- General Bob Henry, who is in
Tyler. The law provides that foreign
corporations violating its provisions may
be prohibited from doing business in the
State by injunction or other proper pro-
ceedings in the District Court OF Travis
county, and it is made the duty of the
Attorney General to institute such pro.
ceedings, but no papers have been filed
in the court here nor does the Prosecut-
ing Attorney know anything about the
case. 1t is believed here that, if the in
dictments have been found, they are
against the chief officers of the COM
pany. The law exempts farmers from
its provisions, and good lawyers claim
this clause invalidates the whole law
and makes it unconstitutional.

THE AWARD OF BONDS.
The Bid of the Bankers Syndicate Has
Been Accepted.


Been Accepted.
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-Secre-
tary Carlisle to-day acted in the matter
OF the allotment of the $50, ,0O0, ,0O0 s per
cent bonds, bids for which were opened
at the Treasury Department Saturday.
He accepted the proposals submitted by
the syndicate represented by John A.
Stewart OF the United States Trust Com
pany Of New York and others to take
the entire issue at 117.077. 1t is the ex-
pectation OF the treasury officials that
the deposits OF gold for the payment on
the bonds will be made very promptly,
and as the understanding is that none of
the gold is to be taken from the treasury,
an early restoration of the gold reserve
to above the 100000 900 mark will be
the result. The bonds, including pre-
MUM, will realize to the government
about $58, 100000. The gold balance
will, if the expectations OF the officials
regarding the deposits Of gold bonds are
borne out, be increased TO about $l16,-
100000. Before to-day, however, there
has been "A, $50, 900 in gold drawn from
the subtreasury at New York, presum-
ably to be used in payment for the
bonds.
Assistant Secretary Curtis learned
during tho morning unofficially that $8,-
10000 in gold has been deposited in the
subtreasury for bond payments. The
bonds are deliverable as soon as the gold
is deposited, and as the bureau of en-
craving and printing has been busy at
work preparing for the issue, it will, it
is expected, soon be ready for distribu-
tion. The denominations OF bonds which
the syndicate will take are as follows:
Coupons-Fifty dollars, $25, 900; one
hundred dollars, $25, 900; one thousand
dollars, $34, ,o50, 600; registered ten thou
sand dollars, $l5, 100000.
The conditions on which the bonds
are accepted are shown by the original
proposal Of the syndicate, which is in
the following terms, minus the names of
the companies composing the trust and
the denominations wanted:
"We hereby propose under the terms
OF your circular of November 13, 1894,
to purchase United States 5 per cent
| ten-vear bonds, described in said circu-
lar, of the face value of $4,000, 900, and
we agree to pay therefore at the rate OF
1l7.077 and accrued interest per 800.
This bid is for the whole $50, 900, 900, but
not for any lesser amount. We further
agree, upon due notice Of the acceptance
Of this subscription, to deposit the
amount thereof in gold coin or certif-
Gates with the United States Assistant
Treasurer at either Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis, New Or
leans or San Francisco, in accordance
with the terms OF said circular. We de-
sire Registered or coupon) bonds in de-
nominations as stated below, and we
wish them to be delivered to us as fol-
| lows:
$40, ,OOO,O 900 at New York, 81, ,OOO, 900
at Boston, $4,000, 900 at Philadelphia,
~, 100000 at Chicago and $2,00O,O6O at
San Francisco or other United States
treasures as may be approved by the
Treasury Department"

TERRIBLE TURKS
Further Information Of the
Massacre Of Christians.
WHOLE VILLAGES DESTROYED

Cholera Has Broken Out In Elrulent
Form as "A Result of the Wholesale
Slaughter - Number OF Massacred
Reaches Between 8 1000 and 10000.
BosToN, November 28.-Further in
formation as to the massacre of the Ar
menians near Bitlis, Turkey, has been
received by Secretary Guilson Of the
United Friends of Armenia. One letter
dated Bitlis, September %, gives the in
formation that news had been received
from the region back OF Moosh that
forty eight villages are said to have been
wholly blotted out. Another, dated Bit
lis, October 3, states that the day pre-
vious letter from Moosh had been re-
ceived, which told OF the outbreak OF a
virtulent form Of cholera, which was
killing from twenty-five to thirty-fve
persons daily. 1t is caused, it is said,
by the stencil of the carnage, which took
place not far back in the mountains.
The number of massacred will reach be-
tween 5000 and 10000. The Governor
tried to have the people here sign Pc
tition to the sovereign, expressing satis-
faction with his rule and disclaiming
sympathy with the Armenians, who have
"stirred up matters" The people have
refused to sign the address. Another
letter dated Constantinople, October 81,
states that information has been re-
ceived from Bitlis that twenty-seven vii
lagos have been annihlated in Sassoun
and 5000 men, women and children
massacred by the troops and Kurds.
The massacre occurred in the early part
of September, and was the result of an
aflray between Kurds and Armenian
villagers, from whom the Kurds had
stolen their flocks. The Sultan ordered
infantry and calvary to this place to put
down the Armenian rebellion.
The Armenian Catholics have written
to the London Society of Armenians to
commend the efforts of the Armenian
colonies in Europe to expose the wretch
edness OF Christians in Armenia.

THE CLIFF JEWELLERS.
Village Discovered Which Has Never
Before Been Seen by White Men.

uncovered w nlCh nhl
Before Been Seen by White Men.
PRESCOTT, Ariz., November H.-Re-
cent arrivals from the Bradshaw Mount
aims report the discovery Of a cliff
dwellers' village in one OF the most liz
accessible canyons Of that range, which
has never before been seen by white
men. The discovery was made by two
prospectors, White and Williams, who
did not attempt thorough exploration,
but from their description this is the
largest village OF the wonderful people
that has ever been discovered. The vii
lage is located along the high banks on
either side Of Willow Canyon, and the
houses are estimated to be 260 in num-
Der. 1t is very difficult to reach this
canyon even with pack animals, which
accounts for its having so long remained
undiscovered. There are three natural
terraces along the canyon wall, and the
dwellings open back from these. Mar
row steps in the rock, now almost worn
away, seem to indicate that this was a
method employed for ascent and descent.
Several of the houses were explored, and
large quantities of pottery and some in
struments, evidently used for cultivating
the soil, were found. In one the skele-
ton Of man not over four feet eight
inches in height was discovered. The
canyon at this place is half a mile wide,
and shows evidence of having been
cultivated. IL this theory proves to be
true, it will throw new light on the hab-
its OF this little-known people. So far
as known no other evidence has ev r
been discovered of the cliff dwellers hav-
ing cultivated the soil. A party is now
being organized to thoroughly explore
the new-found village, and the result OF
the researches will be awaited with in
