SUPERVISING ARCHITECT
win Not Be Appointed Until the Omce is
Running Smoothly,

Running Smoothly.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Secretary
Carlisle has decided that he will not
appoint supervising architect of the
treasury until about the middle of jan
uary, at which time he thinks the new
reorganization of the architects office,
which goes into effect on Tuesday, win
be in smooth running order.
Any friction that may have de-
veloped from the changed conditions
he thinks can be better adjusted by the
old men, familiar with the former
workings, rather than by the introduce
tion into the Office ut one and the same
time of new head and new system.
When the new architect is installed he
will find the Office moving along
smoothly, and can devete himself, as is
contemplated by the new organization,
to the technical and scientific work Of
the office. Mr., Charles e. kemper, the
chief clerk, and for the past two
months the acting supervising archi-
tcct, has resigned, and his resignation
has been accepted. He has been reap
pointed by Secretary Carlisle executive
officer in the bureau and will have alb
solute charge of the Office force and
will have nothing whatever to do with
the purely scientific work.
All the old chiefs of division, with
the exception of Fred Knowlton, OF
Maine, and L. w. Combs, of Kansas,
have been retained, and those two were
dropped only because their divisions
were consolidated with others.

Two Students Expelled and Many gus

BELLFONTE (Pa.), Oct. 30.-Two stu
dents have been expelled from the State
College and fourteen indefinitely sus-
pended for hazing, and in addition most
of them, or may be all of them, may get
into The criminal courts before the affair
is at an end.
AS is usual at the opening of each COL
lege year, the higher men undertook to
initiate the freshmen in the usual way by
giving each one good hazing. Among
the freshmen were two brothers who had
room and board in the family OF William
Shiveley, in the village. These the stu
dents were unable 10 catoh until one
night recently, when large crowd of the
higher classmen got together and sur
rounded the house of MIR. Shiveley and
demanded the surrender into their hands
Of the two young men. The demand was
refused, whereupon the crowd opened
fire with one OF the college cannons they
had surreptitiously taken with them, and
which had been loaded for the occasion
with stones, old tomato cans and most
every kind OF dirt, right in the house
Windows were broken. furniture inside
of the house was badly dem olished and
the outside of tho house was badly de-
faced and besmirched.
Two shots were fired, by which time
all of the inmates of the house were pretty
badly frightened ex oept Mr.. Shiveley and
one of the students. They were equal to
the emergency. Each one Of them hastily
secured dou ble- barreled shotgun and
sailed forth into the crowd, demanding
their immediate withdrawal, under
threats OF being fired nto II they refused.
Acting with discretion, the crowd began
to withdraw.
The names of most of the students talk
ing part in this nights work were known
and reported to the faculty. Two OF the
number, the ngleaders, were expelled,
aud fourteen others were suspended.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The cases OF
the Californians convicted in the prose-

of 1894 were before the Supreme Court of
the United States to-day, endeavoring to
secure a new trial. They were convicted
in the District Court of the United States
for The Southern District Of California for
conspiracy to o5struct and retard the
passage of the mails over the Southern
Pacific Railroad, and sentenced by Judge
Ross to imprisonment for eighteen
months each. The appeal was argued for
the convicted men-W. II. Clune. Isaac
Ross and Philip Stanwood-all memb bers
of the Al, erican Railway Union, by
Robert Christy, and by Attorney Gen

Christy conteuded that the evidence ad-

was not sufficient nor of such nature 10

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Word has been
received ct Cuban headquarters here OF
the safe landing in Cuba OF the expedi-
ton under Carlos II. Cespedes, which
LETT Philadelphia October 10th. The ex-
pedition disembarkei on the east coast OF
Cuba on the 10th. 1t is composed Of l07
men and was we'll provided with arms
and ammunition. The expedition was
| htted out III Canada and sailed from
there over three weeks ago. The reason
tor going TO Canada was embodied in the
fact that the neutrality laws OF the
United States were such that the fill
busters did not care TO strain them. The
wisdom OF this WAS manifest IN the re-
suit. 1t never was disturbed in any
manner, ana a safe clearing was made by
the vessel.
Cable advices tell of Cabinet meeting
at Madrid yesterday, where the Cuban
situation WAS discussed. Prime Minister
Cauovas del Castillo stated that there
was no truth in the rumors that the
United States Government had shown
sympathy toward the CUBAN rebeis.
Tomas Estrada Palma, chief delegate of
the Cuban revolutionary party In this
city, said yesterday: II shall see Presl-
countrYmen before hlm. Our friends in
Cuba are in need OF arms and ammuni-
ton. The Spanish Government has
always denied that it is engaged in war
with the Cubaus. ii that be true then |
see no reason why the United States
authorities should prevent US from send

POWDER FOR NAVAL GUNS.
Annual Report of the Chief of the
Ordnance Bureau,

Annual Report of the Chief of the
Ordnance Bureau.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-The annual
report of Captain w. I. Sampson, Chief
of the Naval Bureau of Ordnance, which
of the Navy, contains an estimate of
S6.647, 947 for carrying out the plans of the
bureau for the fiscal year ending june 30,
1897. Included i'll this amount are items
of $25, 900 for arming and eQuippiug naval
militia, 100000 toward the armament of
auxiliary cruisers, and Sl,390, 204 toward
the armament of vessels authorized.
The report says that attempts to secure
a satisfactory powder for the thirteen
inch guns met with failure. The Califor-
MIA Powder Company has succeeded III
manufacturing excellent powder for the
eight-incb, as well as tho fve-inch guns,
and is now in position to make prismatic
powder for all calibsrs. Lack of means
of testing powder III the larger guns on
the Pacific, with the consequent neces-
sity of shipping samples 10 the naval
proving grounds here for test, prevents
the bureau from ordering powder for the
ten-inch, twelve-inch and thirteen-lnch
guns from this company ct present.
The difficulty OF obtaining q satisiac-
tory brown powder for the larger CALI
bers, as we'll as the many inoonveniences
attendant upon the use of brown powder,
emp phasiZes the necessity for the develop
ment OF smokeless powder for all ca
iibers.
Captain Sampson earnestly renews his
recommendation OF last year that e yearly
appropriation be made tor the manufact-
ure of guns and mounts for merchant
steamers capable of efficient work as
transports and cruisers, and submits Al
estimate OF $4,000 for commencing the
work.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-If Secretary
Herbert accepts the recon III nendation of
the Board of Bureau Chiefs, the old
cruisers Pensacola and Swatara will be
appraised and sold. The vessels are now
at tho Mare Island (California) Navy
Yard. classed as "nnSarYiceahlan -
