TO SUCCEED THE kEARsARGE.
Two Plans Proposed for Light Shfps
for the Navy.

In the wreck of the Kearsarge the Navy
and State Departments have sustained a
severe loss 1t was one of the valuable
points of the old wooden cruisers that they
could be put into condition for service I'm
very short time, as the materials for re-
pairs could be found at any navy ya:d or
any port even in a foreign country. This
is not true of the more complicated steel
ships. with their extensive machinery, re-
quiring high grade of expert skin TO re-
pair. So even in late years whenever a
vessel was wanted in great haste the
wooden ships were called into service. AL
ready there is talk at the Navy Department
about supplying the kearsarge's Pace and
several projects have been broacled that
may find their way to Congress
one contemplates the construction of a
magnificent battleship worthy to perpatuate
the name of the kearsarge on naval hsts.
Another project is to build two or three
light draught steel gunboats about the size
of the Petrol. now doing valuable service in
Chinese waters. Two OF these vessels could
be built for about 500, 90, and IL they were
stationed in the Gulf of Mexico, at Mobile
or Galveston, they would be of inestina BILE
value to United States commercial interests,
as they could be sent to any Central Ameri-
can port In day or two, and from their
small size would be very economical 10
maintain. From their light draught they
would also be able to reach many poir Is
that are inaccessible to our larger cruisers.

TO SAVE THE HULL,
Supplementary Report on the Kear
surge Called for.

Supplementary Report on the Kear-
surge Called for.
With view of saving the hull of the
valiant ship Kearsarge. If such thing is
within the range Of possibility, Secretary
Herbert today called on Admiral Stanton
for a supplementary report showing the
exact condition Of the ship at the time Of
her final abandonment on Roncador reef
and his best judgment as to the practi-
cability of getting her into deep water so
that she may be towed to the United
States. The Secretary desires this i'll
formation for communication to Congress
in support Of his proposed appeal to that
body for specific authority to contract for
the salvage of the ship in case there is the
slightest prospect Of success. The Secre-
tary's action is due to the appeals of his
torIc and patriotic societies, including the
kearsarge Veteran Association, to leave
nothing undone for the preservation of the
ship as a relic regardless Of her condition.
Admiral Stanton will submit his report
this afternoon and will leave for New York
this evening. The Merritt Wrecking Co.,
which raised the wrecked yacht Aguan
from the rocks of Roncador, is said to be
willing to attempt to save the Kearsarge,
leaving the question of compensation con-
tingent on the success of the undertaking.
At last reports the kearsarge was fast in
the rocks at the mercy of the breakers
1t is feared that her back bone is broken
and that she is fast going to pieces.

POST OFFICE APPROPRIATIONS.
A Cut Of Three Millions i'm the EST
mates Reported.

The appropriation bill for the postal ser
vice will be reported to the House early
next week. This morning the subcom-
mittee on appropriations, Representatives
Henderson of North Carolina, Dunphy of
New York and Caldwell Of Ohio laid be-
fore the committee the first draft of their
work. The bill will recommend a total of
$Sl.OOO.OOO, which is SOO0,0OO below the
estimates. but an advance Of about S3,o
OOO over the provision for the last year.
Cuts from the estimates were made princi-
pally in the flexible items, railroad service
coming in for a large reduction. The COM
mittee did not indorse the project which has
been much discussed recently and advocated
by the postmasters of large cities Of au-
thorizing Congress to make separate APP
propriati tions for the ten citiey which lead
in receipts to be expended by the post
masters.
Another plan was substituted for this af-
ter discussion. The present laws do not
permit any expenditures to be made by
poStmasterS for miscellaneous contingent
expenses except on written authority from
the Postmaster General, and this system
was most complained of by the postmasters
To obviate the trouble incident to this plan,
the committee will recommend a law giving
authority to the Postmaster General 10
make such rules as he thinks advisable Civ
Ing postmasterS partial control of the funds
after the apportionments for their Offices
have been made He will be authorized "a
include such offices of the first and second
class as he may designate. 1t was evident
from the discussions in committee when the
rejected plan was proposed that to single
out any particular office for special privi-
leges would awaken opposition from repre-
sentatives of the smaller cities.

MRS. COMMODORE MAYO.
Her Father Made Some Statements
Relative to the Commodore.

The father of Mrs. Commodore Mayo
said to a correspondent of the New York
Herald at Waterbury, Conn, yesterday
that he preferred to maintain the silence
which he had observed on this subject from
the beginning, but that there We're some
things which their friends who are not ac-
quainted with the facts ought to know.
OF the immediate causes of the nervous
prostration which afflicted his daughter
soon after her marriage he did not care to
speak now. There are a good many things,
he said. that might be said. and may yet
be necessary to say. but at present he and
his family would keep silent.
But the statement that she left her hus-
bands home should be qualified to this ex-
tent: She left 1t not only with her hus-
bands consent, but at his request. lie
seemed to be irritated that her health was
poor, that she nervous and homesick
and apparently growing worse She was
taken away by her father and brought 10
waterbury, where nervous prostrdtion de-
Veloped into acute melancholia, necessi-
tatlnS treatment at sanitarium, which
resulted In what apearS to be complete
spirits
Mr.. Stevenson said they had had little or nc
communication with Commodore Mayo for
a year past. Mr.. Stevens said he went to
Washington for the purpose of asking for
MS daughters clothing and personal Dos-
sessions wedding presents, &C. and the
commodore replied that husband was the
proper custodian of a wife's effects. There
was no further communica ton between
them until on the 14th of this month Mrs
Mayo herself addressed her husband ask
ing him to send her things. saying that she
was the proper custodian of her own per-
sonal property.
MIR. Stevens says that Commodore Mavo

support ana mas not been asked TO do so

AFTER THE SLOT MACHINES.
District Attorney Birney Thinks The,
Violate the Law.

This afternoon. at the instance of Mr..
Birney, district attorney, the police were
instructed by Maj. Moore to notify all par
ties having slot machines to remove them
by Monday morning. 1t is the intention OF
the district attorney, on and after the 18th
instant, to prosecute all having such ma
chimes but AS those having the machines
have expressed their willingness to comply
with the law there will likely be no ar
rests. Today, when one of the detectives
was in conference with Mr.. Birney, the
agent of a slot machine appeared and ex.
planned the workings of a machine Mr.
Rirney said, in his opinion, 1T both violated
the lottery and gambling law, and the
agent stated that if that was his opinion
he would remove all Of his machines.

Pension for the Widow of Gen. COrse.

Pension for the Widow of Gen. COrse.
The House committee on invalid pensions
today authorized Representative McEttrck
OF Massachusetts to make a favorable re-
port on the bill granting a pension to the
widow of Gen. John NJ. Corse at 500 per
month.
Some opposition was shown to the bill
because of the amount allowed Mr. .McEIttrick
overcame this opposition and secured a
unanimous report, based upon the distin-
guished services which Gen. Corse rem
dered during the great march to the sea. y
Mr.. McEttrick read the famous dispatch
Corse signaled in reply to Shermans re-
quest to hold on'-'I am short cheek
bone and an ear, but l can whip all hell
yet''-and described the severe wounds
which Gen. Corse received there and at
Missionary Ridge. The bill has already
passed the Senate, and much stress was
laid there upon the fact that Gen. Corse
never applied for pension or accepted one
while he was alive, and that he would have
drawn a large share of the money which is
now asked for his widow If he desired

The Annual Reunion OF the Grand

Held at Pittsburg, Pa, Sep.
tembpr k.l5 1894.

Already the old veterans, their families
and friends, are figuring as to probable
cost Of trip, and deciding which route to
take.
To enable them to make the journey
at reasonable cost, and plan in advance
for this, their great jubilee time, the
Santa Fe route has just notified the chair
man of the Western Passenger associa-
tion that it will sell tickets for the occa-
sion named on September and 8, from
points west of Missouri river, and on
September 8 and from points on and
east of the Missouri river. These dates
are placed early in the month 80 that
visitors may witness the great naval re-
union, which forms an important feature
of the opening days of the encampment
Besides convenient selling days, the
Santa Fe also announces that it will
honor G. A. r. tickets for return from its
eastern terminals on any day within the
final limit of Sept. 25 for tickets sold in
territory east of Colorado common
points, and Sept. 80 for tickets sold from
territory west thereof. This concession
will accommodate members of the G.. A.
r., and that is what the Santa Fe always
aims to do. 1t tries to please its patrons.
The rate is one fare for the round trip,
added to the lowest rates authorized
from Chicago and st. Louis, which
makes rate of $51.O5 via Chicago and
$48.55 via St. Louis to Pittsburg and re-
turn. Call on agent of A.. 7. & s. F. rail-

SCHOOL MONEYS.
Mandamus Proceedings to Compel the
County Superintendent to Correct
His AppOrti0nment.

The controversy between the board of
education of the city of Santa Fe and the
county superintendent of schools, arising
out of the manner in which the latter has
apportioned the school funds collected in
this city from gaming and liquor licenses,
was brought to an issue before Judge
Laughlin to-day in the form of mandamus
proceedings to compel the latter to cor
rect his apportionment. The proceed
ings we're brought by Charles A. Spiess
at the instance of the board of education.
Itappears that the four wards of the
incorporated city of Santa Fe are stu
ated in the center of square which en-
braces county precincts 3, 4, II and 1S,
and that these four wards compose one
school district with schools in each. 1t is
contended that, in the 18th precinct,
there are school DISTRICT school house
and 100 pupils ouside of the city limits,
and, under decision of Judge Fall and
in pursuance of instructions from the
territorial superintendent of schools, the
county superintendent has made an ap-
portionment which diverts to this out
side precinct part of the money col
lected from games inside the city limits
The board of education contends with
much reason that this is wrong and in
sists that all moneys collected from licen-
ses in the city should go to the support
of the schools of the district that en-
braces the four wards of Santa Fe. So far
as the liquor licenses are concerned, in the
