Government May Reconsider Determine.

Washington. Oct. 27.-The indications
now are that the government may yet
reconsider its determination to ask
Judge Sapborn for a postponement Of
the sale of the Union Pacific railroad.
No specific information on the subject
is at present obtainable, but there are
reasons for the belief that the govern
ment has received, or is in hourly ex-
pectation of receiving, an additional
proposition from the reorganization
committee. This proposition is believed
to be very material increase in the
guarantee offer, provided the sale is
allowed TO proceed on the date original

ported, will make the committees guar

ming Outrage.
Chicago, Oct. 27.-Thus far there is
no clew to the vandals who raided the
dead house at Dunning and carted away
the corpses of four paupers. Presloent
Healy of the board of county commits
soners, satisfied that the investigation
will be best made by the police. has
turned the matter over to Chief ktpley,
who has detailed officers on the case.
Nothing will be left undone to dis
cover the perpetrators of the outrage,
said MIR. Healy Chief Kipley will
make a thorough investigation, and the
county will give him all possible as
sistance.
THE board has also decided to leave
the discharge of employees at Dunning
to Superintendent Lange after he has
investigated and fixed the blame upon
the negligent attendants. That there
was gross negligence | am certain, else
the intruders could not have gained en-
trance to the dead house. They must
have made considerable noise in break
ing the lock of the door, and the rattle
Of the vehicles in which the bodies We're
carted away must have attracted the
attention Of the watchman II he had
been properly attending to his duties
Chief Kipley said he had instructed
Captain Colleran, chief of detectives, to
put the required number of men at
work on the case at once.

EASTERN STORM CONTINUES.
Several Vessels Driven Ashore by the
Terrific Gale.

Terrific Gale.
Delaware Breakwater, Del. Oct e.
The storm os she coast hereabouts con-
tlnues with but little abatement. The
wind is blowing at the rate of thirty
five miles an hour and the sea is very
high. The schooner Elizabeth S. Lee,
which was driven ashore on the point
of Cape Henlopen, went to pieces, and
her cargo OF coal is a total loss. An
unknown steamer grounded early in the
morning on Hen and Chicken shoals
but floated about half an hour later
unassisted. The schooner Sarah J.
Haughn, bound from Philadelphia for
Norfolk, with $50 tons of coal, which
ran ashore on the beach at the break
water. broke amidships. The schooner
Lilly Faukenberg, bound from Suffolk
to New York with lumber, is high on
the beach, apparently in good condition.
The schooner II. w. Laws, coal-laden,
ashore aSI4ewes, is in a bad condition.
The condition of the other vessels re-
ported aground remain unchanged.
A number of schooners and other
smaller craft are riding the sea and will
probably safely weather the storm. No
lives have thus far been lost. The two
life saving crews have done noble work,
dozens of benumbed sailors having been
rescued from stranded vessels by means
Of the breeches buoys.

DECREE OF FORECLOSURE AFFIRMED

Lansing, Mich, Oct. H.-Alexander
Lewis and Jerome Croul, representing
the stockholders of the old Detroit Gas
Light company in their foreclosure pro-
ceedings against Camille Weidenfeld and
the Detroit Gas company, defeated the
gas company upon nearly every point
raised in the supreme court. The de-
cree of foreclosure granted by the
Wayne circuit court Is affirmed as
against all the property of the gas COM
pany. The amount of the mortgage
was 81 100000 and the purchase price
of the plant was 1,450.0O0. Croul and
Lewis represented the old company and
weidenfeld, who made the purchase,
conveyed the property to the Detroit
Gas company. Weidenfeld was made
party to the suit because he was the
original contractor and he is held to be
liable for any deficiency that may ex-
ist upon the sale of foreclosure. The

generals departure from Havana the
occasion of an anti-American demon

STRENGTH OF OUR NAVY.
II Consists of I41 Vessels of All Descrip-
tiOns.

III Consists Oi I4l vessels oil All Descrlp-
tiOns.
Washington. oct. 27.-In his annual
report to the secretary of the navy,
Philip Hichborn, chief constructor, says
that the strength Of the navy on Oct
was 141 vessels all told. including the
ships Of both old and new navies. Dur
ing the last few months of the last fis-
cal year a considerable amount of work
upon vessels that had been authorized
by congress had TO be suspended owing
to lack Of funds. This caused a heavy
drain upon the new appropriations at
the beginning of the present fiscal year
and makes the exhaustion Of those APP
preparations before the first Of next
July almost an assured fact.
Chief Hichborn says this is a discour-
aging state Of affairs, as this eXhaus-
ton means a wholesale reduction of the
navy yard forces and the discharge Of
competent ard trained men. He points
to the advantage and economy Of hav-
ing at least one vessel building at each
important navy yard Probably the
most desirable type Of vessel for the
purpose intended particularly in view
of the present state of the armor ques-
tion. would be that of a sheathed cruis-
er of comparatively light draft and
great endurance, with quarters for flag
officers.
