IN GOOD. CONDITION.
Commodore Melville's Report Gives
Detailed Information Con-
corning the Navy.

Washington. d. c., Nov. 19.-The re-
port of Commodore Melville, chief en-
gineer of the navy, made public today,
gives a detailed statement of the con-
dition of all warships SO far as their
machinery and mechanical apparatus are
concerned. AS whole it shows that all
the modern ships are in good condition
except in few minor instances, in
which machinery is being overhauled.
The old-time ships are reported as anti
quated, but most of them are said to be
serviceable, considering their ages.
The report says that during the year
the bureau has prepared plans and speci-
fications for the machinery of battle
ships numbers 5, 6, z, 8 and 9, for the
Hartford, for tug No. 5, for the League
Island navy yard, for the machinery of
the 2O-knot and 22-knot torpedo boats
and for a Encouragement of the ma
chinery of the Atlanta due to the fitting
of new boilers in that vessel.
Work at the New York navy yard on
the new machinery for the Chicago is
progressing as rapidly as the appropria-
ton for that purpose will permit. The
completion of the boilers has been de-
layed owing to a failure to obtain the
nickel-steel plates originally ordered and
to further delays consequent on the fail
ure of the manufacturers to deliver with
in reasonable time shell plates of nickel
steel of a satisfactory finish to complete
one of the cylindrical boilers.

CAPT. DREYFUS' CASE.
M. Casteline Refers to the Report
ed Escape of the Convict
from Guiana.

Paris, Nov. 18.-In the Chamber of
Deputies today, M. Casteline, one of the
representatives of Laon, called attention
to the alleged campaign in favor of Capt.
Dreyfus, the French artillery officer who
was sentenced to imprisonment for life
On the charge Of divulging important
military secrets to the representatives
of foreign powers. In so doing, NJ. Cas-
feline also referred to the rumors when
have been circulated of the escape OF
Dreyfus from the French penal settle
ment off the coast of Guiana and de-
manded the prosecution of those who,
according to newspaper statements, tried
to intimidate or bride the members OF
the court-martial which tried the prls-
oner.
The premier, M. Meline, replying, sald
there was no reason to repeat the mat
ter, adding, however, that if the govern
ment discovered that Dreyfus had ac-
completes it would do it's duty IN the
matter.
Thereupon Nj. Casteline presented a
motion calling upon the government TO
take action in the case and NJ. Thillot
demanded the simple order of the day
Much excitement followed. Finally the
government demanded a modification of
M. Casteline's motion expressing con-
6dence that the government would seek
to punish the intriguers. Ihls was
adopted unanimously.
London, Nov. 19.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette this afternoon publishes dispatch
from Paris which says that the Meline
ministry had another hairbreadth escape
IN the Chamber of Deputies yesterday.
when the Dreyfus matter was brought
up. The dispatch adds:
''At one moment the ministry's best
friends had abandoned all hope and moth
ing but the patriotism animating a num-
Der of deputies independently of party
politics saved it from downfall. The
domineering tone of Gen. Billot, the min
lister for war, reused the hostility of the
chamber and M. Meline at first declined
to supplement Billot's statement until he
noticed that his own friends were desert
ing him. Finally he accepted COM
promise in the form of a modification of
M. Casteline's motion calling upon the
government to take action in the case
and expressing confidence that the gov
eminent would seek to punish the in
triguers. There was an animated discus
sion afterwards in the Hobbies. It was
the general impression that the govern
ment would be forced to order new prose
cutions in connection with the Dreyfus
case, that it was preposterous for the
country to pay $12,500 yearly for the
prisoners keep and that it would have
been better to shoot him.

cial difficulties under which the COM
pany was laboring.

of a Shocking Tragedy Near
LIBERTY Mo.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-Mrs.
Foley, widow, aged 65 years, and her
unmarried daughter Fanny, aged 40.
were found murdered in their home near
Liberty, Mo-, early this morning. No
motive for the crime is known.
News of the murder reached police
headquarters at 30 this morning.
William Foley aged %, son of the
murdered woman, had visited a neigh
Dor Yesterday, and returning home after
midnight was first to discover the oead
bodies. The gates to the farm were
open. the cattle and horses loose md the
front door ajar. Mother and sister were
found in their bedroom, dressed IN their
night gowns and despatched with blood.
The mother had been shot through the
head and the daughter in the back.
Further investigation showed that the
assassin or assassins had first fired at
Mrs. Foley through one of the front
windows. The bullet lodged in the head
of the bed. Both women evidently be-
came frightened and ran into the bed
room in the rear The door was forced
open and the bloody work completed.
After making a hasty examination Of
the bodies the son gave the alarm to
neighbors and party was soon gathered
and sought for traces of the perpetrators
of the crime. Finding no definite clue
they rode to Kansas City, fifteen miles
distant, and reported the murder to the
local police. Detectives were immediate
ly sent to Liberty from here, while in the
meantime posses were being organized at
the scene of the crime.
Later investigation shows it to have
been q cold-blooded murder, committed
for the sole purpose of robbery. The
robber or robbers, who apparently shot
down the victims without the least show
of mercy, first dispatched the woman,
then ransacked the house. Fifty dollars
was all that was secured. was taken
from the foot of the bed on which the
woman had slept.

in the Santa Fe Receiv-
ership Case.

Topeka, Kas., Nov 18.-The Santa Fe
receivership case today developed a di-
rect conflict between the state and feder-
al courts. Anticipating the appoint
ment of a new receiver by Judge Myers
at OskaIoosa, A. A. Hurt, general attor-
ney for the railroad company, this fore
noon obtained a supplemental order from
Judge Foster of the United States circuit
court. The order directs all the Off
GERS and employees Of the Atchison Rail-
road company in the state Of Kansas
to continue the operation, management
and control of said railway in the same
manner as the same has heretofore been
conducted until the further order of said
United States circuit court shall be
made.
Later, when it was learned that Judge
Myers had appointed successor to
Johnson, Attorney Hurd again appeared
before Judge Foster, this time requested
a restraining order to prevent Senator
Martin from qualifying. Just before
the restraining order was served upon him
Senator Martin was seen and said that
he would Immediately qualify as receiv-
er. What action he will now take is
not known.

DECIDE TO CONTEST.
The Democrats will Try to Defeat
the Mckinley Electors in
Kentucky.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 19.-Secretary
Gus. Richardson of the state Demo
cratic committee announces that his par
ty has definitely decided to contest the
election Of the eleven Mckinley electors
in Kentucky. The Democrats concede
the election of the foremost Mckinley
elector S. H. Kash, who ran pa votes
ahead of w. H. Smith, the leading Bry-
an elector, who in turn ran ahead of his
associates by over 1000 votes, the other
eleven Mckinley electors receiving
greater number of votes than the other
Bryan electors. The grounds of contest
are given as irregularity and fraud in
large number of counties. The Repub
Iicans make as many charges of irregu-
larity and fraud as the Democrats. The
state contest board is composed entirely
of Republicans.

DEPEW TALKED OF.
The Great New Yorker May be McKin1ey's
Secretary of State.

CONAcI0Ay III oOUOCe
Washington, D. c., Nov 19-It is said
here that Maj Mckinley has settled al
ready upon the main geographical dis
tribution of his cabinet, and the work
from now on will consist entirely of the
selection and canvassing of names for
the different places on the basis which
has been outlined.
Under this supposed scheme it is said
that the secretary of the treasury will
certainly come from the territory be-
tween the Alleghanies and the Missouri
river, and that the secretary of state
will be chosen from some one of the
states east of the mountains.
There is a good deal of quiet talk here
on the assumption that the treasury is
going West connecting New York with
the position of secretary of state, and for
some reason which is not entirely ap-
parent the name of Chauncey Depew
keeps cropping up in the most unexpected
corners. The gossips are pointing out
the fact that he comes from the great
Empire state, which has the closest con-
nections with foreign nations, and that
in addition to that his wealth and So
cial position would strengthen the admin
istraton. especially among the foreigners
visiting here
