The Attendance Has Been satisfactory
to the Promoters.


NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The first and
second days attendance at the horse show
have been more than satisfactory to the
projectors and the exhibits have been OF Il
higher order than those of previous years.
Especially is this SO of the thoroughbreds,
hackneys and roadsters. These classes are,
with few exceptions, immeasurably superior
to any ever before shown in this country.
Good judges of the hackney declare that we
have nothing to learn from abroad about
this type of horses.

SPANISH CABINET DISSENSIONS.
1t fs Claimed That Harmony Now
Prevails.

Prevails.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.--A dispatch from
the World correspondent in Havana says:
Dispatches from Spain today announce that
the discordant element in the Spanish cab
ir ct has been reconciled and that Romero
Y. Robledo, minister of justice, who has
bitterly opposed the policy of Martinez de
Campos, will hercefoTth support him.
1t is stated that Senor Canovas assumed
the position that if the opposition We're con-
tinued further it would result in d new
ministry being formed under the liberal
leadership of Senior Sagasta.
HAVANA, Nov. 13.-The Diario Della Ma
rina the leading reformist organ of Cuba,
publishes an editorial today in which it
makes strong attack upon Senor Canovas
Del Castillo, the Spanish premier, directly
insinuating that Captain General Martinez
ticle also makes strong charges against
the present policy of favoring the conserva-
tives and says: "Only the resignation of
Canovas Del Castillo can save us. The re-
bellion was started in small portion of the
province of Santiago de Cuba, and by the
policy adopted has increased sweeping
like a wave into the provinces of Puerto
Principe, Santa Clara and MatanZa, and
even the province of Pinar Del Rio is threat
ened."
This article has caused great discussion,
as nobody thought anyone would dare to at
tack Martinez de Campos and call public
attention to the Importance Of the rebellion.
The article, under the circumstances, is
considered unpatriotic and has caused great
indignation in some quarters.

CAPTAIN HOWGATE'S CASE
A Decision Expected Shortly From the
Court Of Appeals.
The Defendant Said to BE Under Sur
yeillance In New York by
the Authorities.

There is every reason for believing that a
decision by the Court Of Appeals will be
rendered shortly in the case of Capt Henry
W. Howgate, and that the decision of the
court will be against the defendant.
1t Is understood that the opinion of the
court will be written by either Mr.. Chief
Justice Alvey or Mr.. Justice Morris, and
that it will be one of the most voluminous
ones ever handed down by the court. 1t is
also understood that District Attorney BIZ
ney has, in anticipation of the expected de-
cision of the court, directed that measures
be at once taken to secure the attendance
of the defendant when wanted.
Capt. Howgate was convicted last June
On two indictments. One charged him wish
forgery. and the other with the falsify!ng
Of his accounts in 1879. while disbursing Of
ficer of the United States signal corps.
Judge McComas. before whom he was tried,
rrisonment in the Albany penitentiary on
each indictment, eight years in all.
Review of the Case.
A new trial was denied the defendant by
Judge McComas, whereupon he noted an
appeal to the Court of Appeals. For some
time after his conviction Capt. Howgate
was confined N Jail, but in July last, by
the order of Mr.. Justice Morris of the
Court of Appeals, he was released on bail
in the sum of $15,0N
The bond then given by Capt Howgate
required him to surrender himself on the
seth of last September TO the marshal of
the District. That he did, and was COM
mitted to jail. He remained there but a
lew days. when he was again released on
bail in the same sum to await the final dis
position of his appeal by the Court of Ap-
peals. his daughter, Miss Ida Howgate
again qualifying one of the sure ties on
the bond.
The District Attorneys Course.
Since that time Capt. Howgate, it is said,
has been in New York city, where, it is
understood, he is engaged in business. 1t
is said that his counsel have assured Dis
trict Attorney B.rney that their ciieEt
would at once surrender himself should
the Court of Appeals affirm his conviction
and sentence. But. it is said, while Mr..
Birney has all confidence in Cap. How
gates counsel, he has not in their client.
Hence, believing that the Court of Appeals
will, in day or two, decide against the
now famous defendant, it is believed that
MIR. Birney today requested the United
States authorities in New York to SD shad-
ow Capt. Howgate as to prevent his es-
cape should the decision of the court be
against him and should he again attempt
to flee.

DEFIED THE EMPEROR.
DR.. Lueger Again Elected Mayor of
Vienna.

Vienna.
VIENNA, November 13.-Dr. Lueger, the
anti-Semite leader in the reichsrath, who
was reelected mayor Of this city on Oc-
toter %. and whose election Emperor Fran
els Joseph refused to sanction. was re-
elected today. in accordance with his an
ncunced intention of having himself elect
ed over and over again until the govern
ment yields it's approval to his election.
DIR. Lueger intimated his readiness to ac-
cept the office, whereupon DR.. Fribois,
president of the imperial council, announc-
ed on tehaif of the lieutenant governor the
dissolution of the civic council.
The members of that body then quilted
the hall amid great excitement, and were
greeted with tremendous cheers from the
crowd of people assembled outside. The
demonstration lasted for some time. and
the police were eventually compelled to
make several arrests and disperse the gath
ering.
A mob of about 100 men afterward pro-
ceeded to the imperial Hofburg, the palace
of the Austrian princess since the thir-
teenth century, shouting Long live Lue-
ger!'
The police stopped the main body of the
men engaged in the demonstration, but
scme OF them succeeded in forcing their
way into the palace grounds, from which
they were eventually elected by the Life
Guards

A COURT OF INQUIRY
The Probable Action in Regard to the
Battle Ship Texas
Causes of Injury and Who is RespOn-
sfble to he Fully As
certained.

The Navy Department is still awaiting
further reports from the New York navy
yard respecting the injuries sustained by
the Texas, and meanwhile Secretary Her.
bert declines to say what the next step will
be. However, If the usual practice is OBJ
served a court Of inquiry will eventually be
appointed to ascertain all of the facts and
fix the responsibility for the accident. The
principal point to be developed is how the
injuries were sustained, whether in the
touching Of the ship she entered the
dock, the lack of sufficient number of
bilge and keel blocks to support the ship,
or from fatal structural weakness. 1t is
known that the constructors, who dock
ships, were loath to undertake the work in
the case of the Texas. The Norfolk con-
structor reported that she could not be
docked there, so she was sent to New York.
The constructor at that yard also had
doubts on the subject. and he came to
Washington especially to show the depart
ment officials the risk attending docking
there. AS there was no other larger and
deeper dock available he finally undertook
the work, but induced the department Of
ficials to defer the docking for ten days.
in order to wait for a tide high enough to
give the necessary draft of water at the
entrance to the dock.
If the Texas touched bottom and injured
her hull under such conditions. 1t is felt
that not much blame can be attached to the
constructor
is different matt r. however and he would
be held accountable for any fault in this
work. IL there should have been any.
If there is any structural weakness that
made the straining of the ship unavoidable.
Of course the constructor would again be
ahsolved directly for the accident in the
dock, although he might be taxed with an
error Of judgment in insisting upon build
ing the Texas upon faulty designs against
the opinions of the officer who was chief
constructor at the time the construction
was begun.
II the Design Was Faulty.
If the trouble is found to be in the ships
design, then she will probably be foated out
of dock as soon as her propeller blades are
placed, for it might be dangerous to draw
off the water now in the dock and allow the
ship to rest with her full weight upon the
keel blocks. In such case the gravest diff
Guilty will be encountered at the next at
tempt to dock the ship, which cannot be de-
ferred longer than a year at most, and 1T
may be found necessary to remove her guns
and all heavy weights, including, perhaps.
part of her armor, before this can be done
safely. No action will be taken by the de-
partment until fuller details called for have
been received.

remembered was defeated in the contest
| for Congress by Gen. McKaig in $780, and
| in 1886 was the party nominee in the re-
| publican caucus for the senatorship.
The Office seekers are here in large num-
bcrs, AMI the governor-elect will be over

Gratis who supported him during his cam

arose above party will receive desirable
appointments. This announcement has
been received with general approval. and
Mr.. Lowndes' consistency has been ap-
plauded by all except few partisan Office
seekers.

MINISTER TERRELL'S ACTION
His Course in Regard to the Armenians
Defended by Rev. DR.. Dwight.
Statement That He Has Carefully
Looked After the Interests
OF Missionaries.

The Secretary of State has received a
letter from Rev. DR.. H. o. Dwight in re-
gard to the official course of action of Mr..
Terrell the United States minister to Tur-
key, with respect to the Armenian trou-
bles Mr.. Dwight is specially charged
with watching over the interests of Ameri-
can missions, and his letter was prepared
without the knowledge of MIR. Terrell. 1t
was prepared for publication as an act of
justice to the United States minister in
order to explain certain misapprehensions
and miss:atements in regard to his course.
1t Is dated at Constantinople, October 26,
and in it Mr.. Dwight says that from in
innate knowledge of Mr. TerrelTs action
in behalf of missionaries and of his senti-
mentS and desires respecting the protec ton
of the persons and the rights of American
citizens in Turkey, he can say that the
general allegation of carelessness in the
matter of protection rests on no founda-
tion whatever; that Mr.. Terrell consuts
himself and Mr. Peet freely in every i'm
portant crisis, and that he has shown great
Willingness to give weight to their opin-
ions. AS to the specific allegation of a
decision or an intention to surrender the
riiciple of the inviolability of domicile,
Mr.. Dwight says: Il have no hesitation in
saying from personal knowledge that Mr..

in Turkey during all the dangerous vicis-
STUDIES of the present year.
He has used for this end all the means
which have suggested themselves to his
mind, and has labored early and late to
make effective the measures which he has
adopted. In my own mind there is not the
shadow of a doubt, for instance, that the
maintenance of the Bitlis station during the
fiery trials of the past year, the exemption
of some Of its members personally from
n nolestation, and perhaps the preserva ton

vigorous action of Mr.. Terrell at the sublime

1T is known to all that the United States
goverEhent strenuously forbids it's repre-
sentative from interfering in any way in
Gehalf Of Ottoman subjects, no rxatter how
strongly humanitarian consdera tions might
seem to require such Interference. But in
every case where an Armenian naturalized
citizen has been molested, Mr.. Terrell has
interfered sharply and effectively to prevent
punishment on suspicion of connecting with
revolutionary schemes men who cannot
be proved to have violated any law

Secretary Herbert has received telegram
from Messrs. Cramp & Co. Of Philadelphia,
saying that the battle ship Indiana, now
receiving its finishing touches at their ship
yard, will be sent to the navy yard, League
Island, tomorrow in complete readiness to
be turned over to the government on the day
following. This formidable warship has
met all the requirements of her contract.
and there is no question as to her accept

Department to put her into commission at
the League Island yard on the Goth instant,
and her officers and crew have been ordered
to report for duty on her on the date named.
She could be put in commission tomorrow II
there were occasion for it.

OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA,
Consul Jcrnignn's Strong Advice t.
the Merchants of Americn.


the Merchants of America.
In the course Of a thoughtful report upon
labor and wages in China, United States
Consul General Jernigan strongly urges
the merchants Of America to be ready to
seize upon the splendid opportunities for
trade that are sure to follow the approach
ing awakening of China. He shows how at
present the trade balance is heavily against
us in the case of both Japan and China, In
the former the balance last year being s19-
100000, and in the latter $16,OOO,OOO, while
Great Britain, several thousand miles more
distant, had balances in her favor about
equal to our losses. The consul general
holds that the European merchant is much
more favored than his American competitor
by the government aid afforded to the great
steamship lines. Every week British and
German steamships enter Shanghai, where
no American ship is seen. AS better and
cheaper communication builds up trade,
Mr.. Jernigan argues that the cutting of the
Nicaraguan canal would greatly benefit
American commerce with the east, and with
an American bank In China, and an Amert-
can journal published there, the CONNER
cial prosperity of the United States would
be great.
