CRAMPS CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES.

1t Is said that the Court of Claims
will shortly take up the claims of
Cramps against the Navy Department
for s1,f36,15S.2 for alleged damages
growing out OF delays attributable to the
Government during the construction of
six ships of the new navy, which are
now In service. These are the Indina,
for whose account $3.50. 231.9 90 is claimed;
the Massachusetts, siS3, 75749; the Iowa,
s1s5,663.2S; the Brooklyn, s1S2. 24G52; the
New York. s21l.Ols31. and the Columbia,
$192, 235.79. The delays upon which these
claims are based is charged mainly to
the failures of the nrmor plants to fur
nish on time the armor for which they
received about three times the price IT
could now be supplied for, and on which
their profits were much in excess Of the
entire cost Of the plants. The Govern
ment Is finding out that building ships
by contract Is after all the most expcn-
sive method and the sooner 1t decides
to use It's own yards for that purpose
the better

THE PENSION MATTER.

'Ihe enormous sums paid for pensions
Is beginning to cause some comment
among journals of the North which have
heretofore have had little 10 say on the
question. The New York Herald saws
for Instance that "Pens ion Commission
er Evans thinks 1t will be necessary
uhis year to ask Congress for def
ciehcy'appropriatton on account of pen
sions. His latest estimate of the total
payments during the present year Is
Sl41,50o,Oo0. There is a lesson in these
hsures for citizens who think 1t would
ne a matter of small Importance for the
United States, to rush into war with
any foreign country"
The Providence. r. l., Journal makes
the following observation:
II we were to admit that the old SOL
diers deserved all this money. and that
none of it falls into unworthy hands
where are we going to get the funds to
pay even Sl4l 100000 for pensions, to say
nothing of s150,OoOOO0 or s16O, 600 ,oOO?'
The Journal them remarks that the
lfruitfulne:s of the present sources of
revenue is certainly not sufficient. and
that at The rate at which revenue has
been coming since the new law went
into effect, the total receipts for the
year promised to he at least 500, OO0, 0OO
less than The expenditures Of last year.
deficit of ,Somei size there is sure to
be, and one much less than $50, 900 600 It
is difficult TO figure out. But there
would be no deficit. and there would
nave been. none during the last twenty
live years If, other things remaining the
same, the pension system had been kept
within the modest limits contemplated

"A rumpr comes from the other side
of The big water. THAT it is believed that
Russia and Turkey are arranging to
combine ITO drive England out Of Egypt,
and If this is n fact, 1t will not be diff
cult to locate France din ahe movement.
Russia and France have long been
jealous of the supremacy Of England in
the land of THE Khedve, and on more
than one occasion has France endeavor-
ed 10 secure England's estimation of
claims In that country, without SUCCESS.
Under the movement suggested It would
not be difficult to accomplish this end.
Turkey us stronger to-day than at any
time since the Crimean war, and as the
Sultan has no cause to love the Eng

Trouble to Become Mrs.
Kruger. You Know.

A stylshly dressed young couple tripped
into the cafe in Meyers Hotel at Third
and Hudson streets, Hoboken, about 10
o'clock, last night, and took seats at one
of the dining tables. The young woman
was attired in travelling gown and wore
a bouquet of white roses and yiolets. Her
escort chatted constantly into her ear and
the congeniality of the couple attracted
much attention. They sat lunching and
talking until II o'clock. Then the young
man summoned a messenger and sent to
Hexamer's stables on Hudson street for
a cab. The coach was at the door in a
few minutes.
The young man whispered to the cab
man to drive to the home of Justice of
the Peace Oscar Schichting, at No. 9O3
Park avenue, and the next minute the
coach whirled down the avenue with the
happy couple aboard. The cab stopped
in front of Justice Schlichtings house
shortly afterwards, but 1t took nearly a
dozen rings of the door bell to wake the
venerable Justice from his slumbers
Finally he crawls out of bed and poking
his head out of a top-story window he
saw his callers standing on the door step.
The coach was sure evidence of a
marriage ana ne lOSI no llIne IN getting
downstairs to the door. He had scarcely
opened it when the young woman shouted
out:-"We want to get married.
When they were ushered into the parlor
they said they were Oscar Antonio Kru-

Bachmann, aged 20 years. Miss Bach
mann stated that she was the second
eldest daughter of Frederick Bachmann,

they had eloped because the brides
parents had objected to the marriage.
Just after the knot was tied a friend
of Miss Bachmann's father living in
Hoboken having heard Of the marriage
hurried to the Justices Office to try and
induce the bride to postpone the wedding,
but he was too late.
When Miss Bachmann saw the man, she
exclaimed "Oh, you couldn't stop us. 1
was bound to marry Oscar no matter
what happened. I have been put to too
