PUSHING THE WORK.
Secretary Herbert Urging the Com
pletiOn of Three Monitors.

Secretary Herbert Urging the Conn
pletiOn of Three Monitors.
Three monitors, the Terror, the Monad-
mock and the Puritan, will be added to the
available force of the navy in the near
future. Secretary Herbert has directed that
the work in progress upon them be pushed
to completion. They have been under con-
struction for long time. The ultimate use
of these vessels is an unsettled question.
They are incapable of long voyages, and,
therefore, are not likely to be sent on for
eign stations. The Monterey, a vessel of
almost similar construction, did, however,
make successful cruise from San Fran
cisco to Callao, Peru
The work on the armor for the three
new monitors is practically completed the
main task which remains being the installa-
ton OF the pneumatic system. The Puri-
tan is awaiting her coming tower armor,
and the delay in the delivery of this ma
terlal has retarded the work in other direc-
tons. The guns and mounts are nearly
completed.
1t is likely that the Terror and the Purt-
tan will be attached to the North Atlantic
squadron. and may cruise up and down the
eastern coast. The Monadnock, which is at
the Mare Island navy yard, will undoubted-
~ be assigned to the Pacific station MAX
ing short runs on that station 1t has been
suggested that the ships be placed out of
commission after having been thoroughiy
trled, and that they be kept in readiness
for war.

COMING OF THE PRESIDENT.
He Spent Several Hours In New York
Yesterday.

He Spent Several Hours In New York
Yesterday.
NEW YORK, October IA steam yacht
pissed out Sandy Hook at $50 this MORN
ing, supposed to be the steam yacht Onei-
da, bound for Washington with President
Cleveland on board.
President Cleveland and party arrived off
Greenwich, Conn.,, on the yacht Oneida at
o'clock Saturday evening. They were
landed at Indian Harbor dock and driven
to Mr.. E. c. Ben edicts house. Yesterday
morning at half-past they were driven
again to the lock, where they boarded the
Oneida and steamed off. The Oneida
dropped anchor at 10 o'clock at the New
York Yacht Clubs anchorage ground, at
the foot of East 26th street, New York.
Mr.. Cleveland got in a small boat and was
rowed to the pier. Mr.. e. c. Benedict
steered the boat as 1t was rowed over. At
the pier cab was in waiting.
He then entered a carriage which stood
waiting, and was rapidly whirled to the
residence Of DR.. Joseph Bryant of No "a
West 36th street. The President took din
ner with the doctor and his family, and
spent an hour OF two chatting with DR..
Bryant.
The President then re-entered his car
riage, and was taken back to the East
Goth street pier, where he alighted al 3:30
pm, and at once went aboard the Oneida.
The Oneida came to anchor in the lower
bay at SIG pm.

GONE TO NEW YORK.
Gen. Miles Will Bring His Househol
Effects to This City,

Gen. Miles Will Bring His Househol.s
Effects to This City.
Maj. Gen. Miles has gone to New York
tc superintend the removal of his house
hoid effects to this city, which will be his
home certainly to the date Of his retire
ment in August. 1903, If not permanently.
None of the major generals and brigadier
generals now on the list will be in active
service when Gen. Miles retires eigh: years
hence.
When Other General Officers Retire.
Gen. Ruger retires in 1897, Gen. Merritt
in 1900. Gen. Brooke, now the senior briga-
dier general, in July, 1902, a little over a
year in advance of Gen. Miles; Gen. Wheat
on in 1897, Gen. Otis in March, 1902; Gen.
Forsyth in 1898. Gen. Bliss in 1899, Gen.
Coppinger also in 1899. And not only win
Gen. Miles, if he lives. outlast all the other
general officers on the active list, but by tina:
time all the really illustrious officers who
achieved a national fame during the civil
war will also have gone into retirement.
1t Is true that there will be some survivors
of that war still in the army and many
able soldiers, but the names as renowned
thirty years ago as those of Gen. Miles and
his immediate predecessors in his present
high Office will all have disappeared.
Gen. Miles has not yet filled the two va
canc,es on his staff, but will probably Go
SO in a short time. He will return to this
city next Wednesday.

NAVAL CADET ENGINEERS.
Probable RecOmme endat tiOn of the Sec
rotary of the Navy.

PrObab BILE RecOmm en- ila tiOn of the Sec.
rotary of the Navy.
1t is expected that Secretary Herbert in
his annual report to Congress will suggest
the propriety of legislative authority for
the appointment of graduates of institutes
of technology and similar scientific schools
as cadet engineers in the navy. such ap-
pointments, however, to be limited to the
graduates showing special aptitude for
naval engineering. In the event Of the en-
actment of such legislation, 1t Is expected
that the institutions accepting its terms
would establish a special course of en-
gineering satisfactory Ito the naval au-
thorities. Cadet engineers appointed to the
navy in this way would be sent to sea for
two years, and would also receive special
instruction suited for their proposed call
ing and then would be appointed assistant
engineers, should they pass satisfactory
examination, otherwise would be dis
charged with years pay.
The object Of this proposed measure is
to secure more engineers for the navy. the
academy at Annapolis not yielding enough,
as the majority of cadets prefer the line If
they can get 1t. OF course, it would be
necessary, should the bill become law, to
make provision for its influence upon the
Naval Academy, after it's establishment,
which would take several years.
One obvious result of founding naval en-
gtneering courses in various scientific in
stitutions would be to provide an increased
number of men in the community who
could discharge the important duties of
naval engineers in time of war.

President Cleveland Would Not
Accept It.
SO His INTIMATE FRIENDS BELIEVE
No Declaration, However, Ever
Made by the President.
HIS CHOICE NOT KNOWN

The talk Of third term keeps bobbing up
in spite of all that may be said of the policy
of the past or the prejudice of the present
against such prolongation of power with
one man. There is always some one rising
to state that this or that close friend Of Mr..
Cleveland or member of his cabinet has
said either that he will or will not be a
candidate. Some alleged statement Of
Cleveland or Of his cabinet ministers is
made the basis of speculation.
1t may be stated with absolute certainty
that there has been no wcrG on that SUBJ
ject passed between Mr.. Cleveland and his
cabinet. Even to the most intimate of his
official advisers he has been silent on the
subject, and 1t seems that none have
thought it proper to bring it Up. Whatever
significance his silence may bear, 1t is GER
tain every member OF his cabinet holds to
the opinion that he does not want and
world not accept a nomination for a third
term.
This opinion Is confessedly not based on
any information directly on the question,
but upon general knowledge Of his DISPOSE
tion and his plans They hold what they do
know of his disposition t. be as good as a
certainty that ne Is not q candidate. At the
same time no declaration from him Is ex-
pected by any of his intimates.
No Cleveland Candidate.
Neither Mr.. Cleveland nor any of his de-
voted followers has decided upon any one
as a candidate. They expect the man yet
to develop. Mr.. Cleveland's silence on the
subject of third term may mean that he
has lingering idea that he may be the
man, but his intimates do not believe that
this is so.
The talk of Whitney is said to be equally
without foundation. The declaration is
made by some of Mr.. Whitney's most con-
fdential friends that he will not be can
didate and will not premit the use of his
pame before the democratic national con-
vention.
1t is known that this view of Whitney's
purposes is held by Mr.. Cleveland ard his
fiiends, as well as by Mr.. Whitney's conf
dants. Therefore, the administration is not
calculating On Whitney as candidate. In
fact the administration is perfectly at sea
in the matter of candidates, and is simply
awaiting developments. with but two
things any ways fixed i'll mind-frst that
Cleveland Is not q candidate, and second,
that Whitney will not be.
1t is believed that Whitney wants Cleve-
land renominated, and that he Is one of
the very few close personal friends of the
President who does One curious thing in
this connection, however is that the
friends of the administration are perfectly
content to have the situation of uncer-
tainty continue up to the time of the con-
vention, as it did in 90

THE SUPREME COURT
Justices Assemble Today for the New
Term.
No Call Made at the White House
The One Vacant
Chair.

The President not being in Washington
the Supreme Court could not pay their re-
spects to him today. This formality will
now be postponed until the New Year day
reception, and meanwhile the court will go
on doing business as wisely, impartially
and expeditiously as IL they had seen the
President and compared vacation expert
erces with him. When the President re-
turns he will probably find out in some way
that the Supreme Court is in session, but
as that court Is entirely Independent of
him and awaits no recommendations, as
Congress does, there Is nothing beyond
mere courtesy in the custom Of the court
to, On the first day of their meeting,
adjourn, without transacting any business,
and to call at the White House. Contrary
to this custom, they, transacted some busi-
ness today.
The court assembled promptly at noon
to resume their labors, which will exact
their undivided attention until the close
OF The term in May.

to adjourn Immediately to call upon the

dent, the court would proceed to hear mo-
tions for admissions to the bar and other
motions Secretary Olney then introduced
his successor Attorney General Harmon.
Mr.. Harmon was greeted: by the cnief JUS
tice after which a number OF candidates
were admitted to the bar and motions were

three minutes.
A number of cases were dismissed either

IN FOR M ALTON
The Corean Legation Here Anxiously
Awaiting Official Dispatches.
News Received From the Japanese
Foreign OMcc-OpiniOn of the TrOu-
bles I'm Diplomatic Circles.

The Corean legation has received no in
formation from Seoul relative to the re-
ported murder of the Queen Of Corea.
Members of the legation are anxiously
awaiting official dispatches but at present
are compelled to depend upon the news
papers for their source of information.
At the Japanese legation a dispatch has
been received from the foreign office stat
ing that portion of the Corean army, ex-
cited by the report that the queen pro-
posed to disarm and disband them, march
ed upon the palace, headed by Tai Won
Kun. The dispatch did not state whether
the queen was among those killed in the
assault upon the palace although it left
1t to be inferred that she might be found
among the dead.
OF Small Consequences.
In diplomatic circles here it is thought
that the trouble in Seoul will prove to be
of small consequence and will not en-
danger the stability of the Corean govern
ment. 1t is known that there has been
opposition on the part of the queen to a
portion of the army, which is being reor-
ganized upon modern plans, supplied with
modern guns and drilled according to rec
ognized tactics of the day. Her sympa-
thies have been with the old troops, a
disorganized body of men without regular
armament and devoid of drill. 1t is
thought probable that rumors may have
gone abroad that she proposed to secure
the disbanding of the new troops, and this
angered hem to the point of attacking the
person whom they regarded as their enc
my.
A Bitter Enemy of the Queen.
Tai Won Kun is the kings father, and
Is bitter enemy of the queen. 1t is not
thought that he has been declared dictator
in the broad sense of the term. for that
would involve the disruption of the pres
ent government and the abdication of the
king. Tai Won Kun is an aged man, a
scholar of the regime, and it is said does
not take much interest in public affairs be-
yond holding pronounced enmity to the
queen and her plans. 1t Is believed that
the trouble at the capital will be quelled
without much effort and that the regular
government will maintain itself

At B1enos Vista the troops commanded

one prisoner and eighty sadded horses.
In the province of Matanzas Col. Rojo
has captured two armed insurgents, who
formed part of the band recently raised at
Guisa, and at Malina he made prisoners
although the troops subsequently found five
rifles in the vicinity. The rest of the band,
consisting Of eighteen men, surrendered
later on.
A detachment of volunteers and civil
guards, commanded by Capt. Delgado, has
been engaged with an insurgent force at
the plantation at San Andres, near Matan-
zus. During the fight two of She enemy
were killed, and In the pursuit which fol-
lowed another insurgent was captured and
three lots of arms fell into the hands OF
the volunteers. At the AzopardO planta-
tion another insurgent was captured.

mite shell at train carrying troops near
Minas, on the Nuevitas railroad, in the
province of Peurto-Principe. The explo-
sion of the shell overthrow the engine and
wounded fireman, but only twenty meters
of the railroad track was destroyed.

WINDING UP THEIR WORK.
Stone and Brick MasOns on the Post
Office Laid OF.

1t was a matter of considerable wonder
n.ent to pedestrians and shoppers on the
avenue today that groups Of unemployed
vorkingp en- should be standing in the yard
surrounding the new city post office build
ing. There were scarcely any signs of ac-
tivity upon the walls of the building them
selves, and many persons marveled why
such an ideal day for outdoor labor should
be allowed to slip by when it will require SO
much effort on the part of the authorities
to complete the building in time to make
the date carved on the principal front
truthful statement.
There were only twenty men at work on
the building today, and they We're all iron
workers. The stone masons and bricklay-
ers have been laid off, and no one seems to
krow just when they will be put to work
again. An explanation of the affair, as
brings to light the following facts. The
governments contract with the iron con-
tractor stipulated that when the stonework
of the eighth story had been completed the
building should be turned over to him to
place the roof trusses in position. Such
condition exists today. The walls OF the
eight stories are completed, and there re-
mains only to set the cornice around the
there is considerable stonework that must
be DONE and the stone contractor believes 1t
to be to his advantage to begin this work at
once, and possibly complete it before the
cold weather sets IN anu the lIoSty oil LII
terferes materially with such work.
To set the stone work now would not In
any way interfere with the iron contractor
and his men in putting in place the roof
trusses, said one of the officials but to
place the iron first would make 1t difficult
for the stone masons to work when the
time comes for setting the stone.
There is still another reason why. the
stone contractor is anxious to go ahead
and completely finish his contract. and
that is that he has the necessary materials
right in the yard at the wharf. The
iron uprights and beams, however, are not
all on hand. Most of the iron necessary in
the roof construction is in this city, either
at the depot or on the building, but there
are some important pieces which have not
yet arrived.
The stone contractor has requested the
supervising architect to allow him to go
ahead with his part of the construction Of
the roof story without waiting for the iron
men to place in position the roof trusses,
and a decision is expected in very short
time.
The hope was expressed among the work.
men today that the department would au-
thorize the immediate resumption of stone
setting. Otherwise one force of laborers
will be in forced idleness for several weeks,
and the completion of the building will be
still further retarded.

A Naval Exaninins Board.

A naval board composed Of Admirals
Brown, Walker and Ramsay met at the
Navy Department today for the examina-
ton Of Commodore Thomas O. Selfridge
for promotion to the grade Of admiral. A
vacancy in that grade will occur in Febru-
