HAVE A GRIEVANCE.
Machinists of the Navy May Throw
Up Their Jobs.

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-AH the
machinists of the navy have a griev-
ance, and unless this is speedily re-
dressed the service is likely to be
short of the best grade of mechanics.
By the departments system they have
been graded into three classes-chief,
first and second-class machinists, with
pay in proportion.
According to the practice of the de-
partment a man cannot be enlisted as
a chief machinist. but must enter one
of the lower grades and await promo
tion. This has brought about the re-
suit that where a person has served
faithfully for. number of years and,
by ability, attained the rank of chief
machinist, he must, if he desires to
continue in the naval service at the
conclusion of his term of enlistment.
re-enlist in the lower grades, taking
his chances of again getting his old
rating as chief, and losing about SIS
month until he succeeds. In the event
that he succeeds in re-enlisting at
once, on the same ship on which he
has been serving, he suffers no loss, as
he is Immediately rated as chief But
in the more frequent cases, where he
has to remain for months on receiv-
ing ship awaiting assignment, his loss
is considerable.

The Fargo was one of the most i'm

came UP and was settled.
The committee to- which the matter
referred reported that all of the rep

fully endorsed all of the reports as

that it was appropriated. This will be

VIII HohenIohe Be Displaced: is the
Query on Almost Every Tongue
German-Americans in Trouble.

BERLIN, Sept. 21.-Semi-official de-
malls that a change in the imperial
chancellorship is impending, are
accepted here as settling for the
present the question of Emperor
Williams intention of displacing
Prince Hohenlohe. The fact must
not be forgotten, however, that
the agitation against Prince Ho-
henlohe proceeds from the same
quarters, and is prosecuted on the same
lines and, significant enough, under al
most precisely the same circumstances
as the agitation which proceeded the
fall of Count Caprivi. People are be-
ginning to ask themselves whether
Emperor Williams return from shoot
ing at Romainten was the signal for
another change in the CHARACTERISTIC
such as followed his return from Count
Won Eulenberg's estate last year.
Prince Hohenlohe has returned from
his long vacation, looking much stouter
and more robust than he did last win
ter. The other ministers are also re-
turning to Berlin one by one. The
Bundesrath will assemble early in Oc-
tober, when the puZzling question of
dealing with the Socialist and other
difficult subjects will come up for its
complications it is not safe 20 count

present regime. There is little doubt

expulsion in his case, which expired on

ST. JOHNS. N F. Sept. 21.-The
Peary Relief steamer has arrived here
with Lieutenant Peary and his COM
panions from Greenland on board.
When the Kite reached Whale Sound
on August 3. Lieutenant Peary. Huge J.
Lee and their eolored servant. Mat
Henson, were found waiting for it.
The party had only ten days previ-
| ously returned from their overland ex-
petition, which had proved compare
| tive failure. Lieutenant Peary and
others started late in March and made
their way to Independence bay. which
is the most northerly point of Green
land, where he had reached on his pre-
vious expeditions. Independence bay
was reached early in the month Of
June. but there was not enough men in
the party to accomplish any bold VEN
ture. They were further deferred from
any great undertakings by the in
sufffciency of their food supply. an
obstacle which was foreseen last year.
All three of those who participated in
the journey were greatly reduced from
the lack of food and were obliged to
abandon the attempt to make further
passage. In this respect, this years
work was but repetition of lasts fail
ure, although the weather experienced
was much more favorable this year
than last. Nearly all the dogs that
were taken on the expedition died and
the remainder had to be shot on ac-
count Of the lack of food for them.
The kit.

west side of Smith Sound after picking
Lieutenant Peary and his companions
UP, and discovered many new harbors.
She traversed the whole coast. visiting
Jones Sound, Cape Sabine and Little
ton island. Perhaps the most import
ant discovery of this trip was two
meteorites of large size, and almost Of
pure iron which were taken on board
the Kite. A meteorite weighing about
forty tons was found but it was i'm
possible to bring it home Many sen
satiOnal stories are current among the
crew of the Kite as to the extremities
to which Peary, Lee and Henson were
reduced by hunger. Adding to these
stories which the explorers refuse to
either confirm or deny they were all
most starved and were forced to eat
seal meat and other refuse in order to
preserve their lives. Peary and his
companions have but little to saw in
regard to their experiences. The over
land expedition to Independence bay.

but came very nearly resulting ia
tally to Peary and the other two. They
started late in March on this journey
and after reaching the bay were un-
able to proceed more than a few miles
along the coast. just beyond their for
mer stopping place. They reached the
top of a mountain and were unable to
proceed further on account Of the pre-
cipitous nature of the descent. During
the trip an unexpected contingency
arose, owing to the fact that Lieuten-
ant Peary was unable to locate his
cache of last year. He was unable to
discover any marks Indicating it and
was compelled to continue his journey.

ELLIOTT CITY, Nd, Sept. 21.-United
States Senator Arthur P. German was
the central planet about which a large
number of lesser stars in the political
armament clustered in this county to-
day. The occasion was an old-fashioned
barbecue at Glenalg, twelve miles from
here, in the interest of the Democratic
state ticket.
The fact that Senator German was to
take the stump for the first time in many
years, lent additional interest to the af-
fair, and the result was a large crowd
and plenty of enthusiasm.
John Z. Hurst, the Democratic -andi-
date for governor, was among the speak
ers.
1t was after 4 o'clock when Senator
German took the platform.
The main points in his speech were We'll
appreciated and especially the reference
10 the relative attitudes of himself and
the members of the national administra-
ton ard to the new tariff laws.
The speaker reviewed the course of the
national Democracy during the past and
present administrations of PresidenJ
Cleveland, going ir;to detail with regard
tional expenditures and the tariff legisla-
ton. OF the latter he said:
Your party enacted Il just law which
eliminates the favoritism of the Mckinley
jority Of the people. Your party enacted
the most logical, the most fair, and what
has proved most just tariff legislation
enacted in the past thirty years. Under
that law, wcrkinGmen have had their
wages raised. When business resumes its
normal condition, the new law
will produce revenue enough to support
the government economically admins
terd. Legislation affecting duties is more
fraaght with danger to the industries,
more certain to effect in one way or an
other the well being of the majority of
our citizens than all other legislation
combined. The depression in business had
to be taken into consideration, and the
bill had to be. framed so as. to furnish
revenue enough to support the govern
ment. A revenue tariff which would bank
rupt the treasury would destroy for a
long time the party enact;ng it. That
there has been division in regard to the
details of such a. measure is not only
natural but desirable. when you consider
that we have forty-four states in the
union. Your Democratic tariff is SO fair
the American people will not permit its
provisions to be seriously changed. While
the dissatisfaction against the details
obscured apparently for a moment the
great common purpose that drew US to-
gether, the enacted law stands as the
most marvellous achievement secured by
the Democratic members of the commit
tee which had this legislation in charge"

TORPEDO BOATS.
One of Three Courses Open to the
Department..


WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Chief Con-
structor Hichborn and Chief Engineer
Melville. who have had the bids for
the construction of the three contem-
plated torpedo boats under considera-
rion, have completed the examination
and comparison of the bids and today
made their report to the secretary of
the navy. It is understood to point
out that one Of three courses is open
to the department, viz; To award the
building Of one of the boats to Maran,
of Seattle. Wash, and two to the
Herreschoffs; the second to award
three to the Herreschoffs, and the
third TO readvertise for bids. They
recommend the adoption of the first
plan, which would bring the aggre-
gate within the appropriation fixed by
law, the Herreschoff bids being below
the legal limit and the NTaran bid
above it. 1t is considered fair and
within the spirit of the law to let the
contract for one of the vessels to the
Pacific coast. even though the price
may be somewhat in excess of the
other bids.

CUBAN INSURGENTS.
Arguments Continued in the Case
Again Yesterday.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 21.-Arg-
ument in the case against the alleged
Cuban filibusterers began today in the
circuit court room. Argument on each
side was restricted to two hours.
United States District Attorney Van
degrift opened for the prosecution. He
submitted the following prayers to
the court:
First-some of the defendants are
guilty and some are not guilty; some
are guilty of some Of the counts, but
not guilty Of all of them.
Second-The defendants must have
the benefit of the doubt. The jurors
must not doubt as jurors when they
believe as men.
Third-The fact that the United
States marshal transcribed his au-
thority by arresting the men outside
his Jurisdiction cannot be taken into
consideration. The fact that the men
are before the court is sufficient
F'ourth--The fact that the defendants
offered no explanation of their move
ments and furnished no proof of their
destination should be considered.
Fifth-If the jury is satisfied that
the men are guilty of any one of the
counts that'is sufficient for conviction.

Accident.

STEVENS POINT, Wis, Sept. 21.-
While little Mabel Manor was clean
ing her doll house a day or two ago
she found in a treatise on mathematics
a $1,000 draft on the Adams Express
company. The old book would soon
have met its fate in the furnace and
would have carried with it the long
lost draft if Mabel had not given it a
kick. That kick tore the old leaves
apart and the draft f1uttered to the
floor
The draft was bought by Thomas
Woodward in 1851 in San Francisco,
from the Adams Express company.

was one. He had no faith in banks

bran boxes. Once mice ate UP 81 COO

The draft will be taken to Chicago
next week and presented to the officers
