CAPTAIN O. M. CARRIERS CASE. Congress May Inquire as to the Ex- pemditures for Harbor Work.

Washington, Dec. At is believed that congress will direct an investi- gation into pihe case of Captain o. M. Cauter, of the corps of engineers, who is to be tried by court martial upon charges of malfeasance or gross ca e. lessness involving an unnecessary ex- penditure of nearly $1, ,500,00 on river and harbor improvements at Savan- nah.
 A remarkable phase of the case is that $1,5OO,0O0 could have been at once expended by any officer without the proper treasury officials finding out that something was wrong. It is asserted by army officials here that if Captain Garter could spend 1,50O, ,00O on a harbor when the law provided not one-fifth of that sum, nothing could prevent other engineers from wasting an equally large amount in deepening the channel of some unim- poTtant waterway.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Senator Jones to Lead a Vigorous
 Opposition

Washington, Dec. "A morning paper, in an article on the annexation of Hawaii, says: In spite of what is assumed to be the assured success of the Hawaiian annexation treaty at the coming session, those opposed to the step are making preparations for a formidable resistance to the wishes of the administration. Senator Jones of Arkansas, the chairman of the na- tional democratic committee, who has influence among the silver demo- crats of the senate, is as much opposed to the annexation of the islands as Senator Morgan is in favor of it, and with the democratic side will exert greater influence than the senator from Alabama. Senator Jones has arrived in Washington, end will aid in leading the opposition to the trea.y as soon as the measure is brought up in the senate

ment service. The navy department says that the enlistments are bscom- ing better each year, from a stand point of efficiency and responsibility, and judging from the number of ap- plicants who are striving to gain ad- mission into the navy, hunks on Un- cle Sam's warships are getting to be very desirable. The present strength of the navy consists of 1000 men, and the department is anxious to in crease this number to 15,O0O.

CONGRESS- CUBAN POLICY.
Action Is Expected in View of Au-
 tonomy's Failure.

Washington, Dec. 4.-By offering an unacceptable scheme of autonomy to Cuba, Spain has weakened, per maps fatally, the administration in it's efforts to keep congress from taking action as soon as it meets. In his message as it now stands, it is under stood President Mckinley urges con- gress to postpone any action in re- Spaniards a chance to prove that their reform on the island is of value. Possibly this part of the message will be changed before congress meets, for It is now plain that aut ouomy will not work at all, especially as the Gu bans have given notice that they will shoot any man who enters their camp offering the kind of autonomy got up by the Sagasta ministry.
 It is hinted here that the admins tration itself is losing what faith it ever had in Spain's ability to end the struggle, either by reforms or by the suppression of the rebellion, and that it will not offer very strong resistance to any rational action on the part of congress.
 There is a conservative faction in both the senate and the house that will advise slow and careful procedure ID dealing with the Cuban question; i; but the indications now are that the lingo blood is warming up.
 Senator Mason of Illinois denied this morning that he proposed bring ing the Cuban matter up in new form in the senate There is no need of doing that.' said MT. Mason. 'The belligerency resolution has already passed the senate, and I believe that it will pass the house easily enough. It will be brought up immedia, ely; l; there is no way of stopping it. Can Cuba gain her independence If her belligerency is recognized? Of course, she can. She is independent now. She has government, Issues money, has control of all but one province of the island. and has given the Spanish a bad scare in that ore"

h the Office of United States
 Attorney General
GRIGGS TIED TO NEW JERSEY
By a Law Which Fails to Pro-
 vide for a Successor.
Besides Attorney General McKenna Has Business With the Pacific Railroads Which He Can Transact Better Than Any Ono Else.

Washington, Dec. 4.-From the best obtainable information it appears that no change is to- be made in the compo- sition of the cabinet during the re- mainder of the. current year. There are two good reasons for this. At torney- General McKenna has charged himself with the prosecution of the Pacific railroad cases and it is not to be supposed that he will relinquish his present office until the Kansas-Pacific sale has passed into history.
 It is generally understood that Gov ernor Griggs Of New Jersey has been offered the place in the cabinet to be vacated by Attorney General Mo Kenna, but it will not be possible for him to take the office before ,he be- ginning of next year.
 The New Jersey constitution fails to make provision for a lieutenant-gov- ernor and successor to the governor, who is the president of the state sen- ate and who is limited in his as- sumption oft he office to the time when the legislature is in actual ses- sion. which will not occur until Jan uary 12.
 Should Governor Griggs relinquish his place now there consequently could be no head to the state government during the period of time between now and January l, and the governor is unwilling to leave matters in such a state.

ELECTRIC CARS COLLIDE.
Three Victims and the Superintendent
 of the Road.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 1.-Two subur- han cars carrying some twenty pas sengers and both running at speed of twenty-five miles an hour, collided on the Detroit & Oakland electric rail- road at o'clock this afternoon The result was that three men were killed and a score of persons injured, sev- eral of them seriously. The dead are John Savage, superintendent of the road: Charles M Whitehead, motor man; John Kelly of Detroit, a book agent
 The exact cause of the accident Is yet i'm doubt. The weather was foggy and the rails slippery from sleet The collision came near a gravel pit and midway between Pontiac and Birming- ham at the foot of two steep grades, down which the i'll fated cars ran at full speed. The impact was terrific. The cars were driven half through each other and were crushed to pieces.
 Superintendent Savage was in the motorman's vestibule operating the outbound car. Both his legs were cut off and his body was frightfully mangled. Motorman McHugh, who stood behind Savage, narrowly escaped a similar fate. John Kelly was svi- dently the only passenger who saw the northbound car approaching. He rushed for the vestibule door and he and Motorman Whitehead were strug- gling to get out of the door when the crash came. Both were killed Kelly's head and shoulders were damned out of the vestibule window and his neck was broken. Whitehead's head was cut open and his chest was crushed.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The forth coming report of the interstate com merce commission will urge congress to enact a law giving the commission some semblance of authority. AS the commission stands now, it advises, and the advice can be taken or not as pleases the persons to whom it is given.

The Imminent Dissolution of
 AustrO-HungarY
CIVIL WAR IS OYERHANGING
It May Come One Way or
 tho Other Tomorrow
1t 10 an Unlocked for Source of the trouble Which Has Been Expect cd on tho Continent for More Than Thirty Years.

London, Dec. 4.-Internatdonal Ques- tions have been temporarily over shadowed by the gravity of the situa- tion in Austria. where things are as gloomy as are imaginable. In addd- tion to the imminence of a civil war within the next few hours we may possibly witness a historic revolution in the relations between Austria and Hungary, which might mean a recon struction of the map of Europe.
 It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the factions are drawing up like contending armies. The Germans have appealed to thelr compatriots on both sides of the frontier and are ap- parently prepared to run all risks to keep the Czechs in subjectionL The Czechs make no secret of the fact that their final aim is to abolish the dual empire by placing Bohemia on an equal footing with Austria and Hun gary. To grant these demands would set Hungary on fire and destroy the foundation of the imperial system. 1t looks as though the employment of force is the only solution of the ques- tion- q worsted by the, provisions of the Aus glich bill tor agreement to prolong for year instead of ten years the com- pact between Austria and Hungary x,or, d; r r },yo orro rrov.,r,t<, frr a l., compacD is, if possible, question more grave than the threatened civil war.
 The Hungarian diet has given Barren Won Gautsch Von Frankenthurn, the Austrian premier, until Monday next in which to state whether he cad reasonably expect the Ausglich bill to pass, and failing 1eciaive answer, Baron Bauffy, the Hungarian premis, will introduce on Monday bill whereby Hungary will act indep sndent- fly as regards the duties to be levied and continuance of commercial re- of the Austro- Hungarian bank. This compact between the two portions of the dual state thus lapses, and the status quo may be maintained tempc- rarily. Hungary will establish her claims to the right of independently disposing of these questions. It is easy to see that the victory will only whet the Hungarians' appetite and that it will be short step to the dissolution of Austria, which in turn will put Europe into "a furnace of terrible pos abilities.
 Apparently the only hope of esc-pe is that the personal clscendancy of the old emperor will again make him able to solve an apparently impossible sit uation. Failing in this, the reichs- rath will be dissolved and the reign oi absolutism will begin in Austria and technically, Hungary will have re- sumed her independence, the first steI toward "a federated, as distinguished from the dual Hungarian mon archy.

Recurrence Yesterday of Delightful
 Annual Event.

The annual basket picnic of the H. linois association, which took place yesterday afternoon at Phoenix park, was we'll attended, though the notice given was too limited in time tn reach nearly all the members or give time for proper preparations. But there were over 100 members out; quite number of visitors and several turkeys and chickens found their way Into the grounds al la roast and pot-pie.
 Tables were spread in the open air at 12;30 p. m., all bearing loads of pro visions such as can be prepared only by Illinois matrons, and when all were seated coffee was served from the ev- erlasting fountain of the veteran cof- fee maker, Robert H. Greene of Peoria
 The social before and after lunch was very agreeably spent ip making new acquaintances and renewing old ones, and many were the pleasant meetings and surprises. old residents of the same vicinities in the Sucker state meeting here for the first time.
 After the social all moved to the pavilion where the annual electinn of officers took place, resulting as fol- lows President. Robert H Greene: vice-president, James McMillan sec retary, Albert Broomell: treasurer. M. w. Messinger; executive committee. c. H. Clayson, S. M McCowan. H. R. Patrick.

Brief remarks were made by several others, including Mrs. G.. H. Adams and Rev. E l.. Rodman. for 1 merly of Bloomington
 The only thing lacking in the vari- l ous addresses was reference to he number of Suckers" present, it being evidently understood that they should
