NAVAL PERSONNEL BILL PISSED.


Rcar-NO More Prize Money.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE house to-
day passed the naval personnel bill
without division, thus accomplishing
what the officers of the navy have
striven for during more than a decade.
By it's provisions the line and the en-
gineer corps are welded into an ANAL
gamated line, staff officers are given
positive rank, but their command is linn
tied to their own corps, and system
of voluntary and compulsory retire
ment on three-quarters pay Of forty
officers a year is established, which is
designed to remove the congestion in the
lower rank. The bill also practically
equalizes their pay with that Of army
officers. Three important amendments
were adopted. One creates a judge ad-
vocate's corps, another abolishes prize
money and a third provides for the re-
tirement on three-quarters pay Of en-
listed men and petty officers in the navy
after thirty years service. But the
most important change in the bill as
reported was the adoption after a hard
fight Of a substitute for the organiza-
tion of the marine corps by which the
corps is to consist of 5000 enlisted men
and petty officers with general officers
and staff. This will increase the marine
corps by 1900 men and increase the cost
of its maintenance $1,500,000. Several
unimportant bills We're passed by unan-
imous consent before the personnel bill
was taken up.

Prussian Finances.

Berlin, Jan lin the lower house or
the Prussian diet to-day, the vice presl-
dent of the council of ministers and
minister of finance, DR.. MIGUEL, intro
duced the estimates. The minister drew
attention to the favorable position OF
the Prussian finances, especially III
comparison with those of the empire as
whole. The accounts Of 1S9S9S he
pointed out, closed with a surplus of 99i-
264. 900 marks and the current estimates
showed a surplus of 74,31O,00O marks.
The new budget, he continued, provided
for an increased expenditure Of 141 ,0OO.-
900 marks, compared with the last bud
get; but the finance minister added,
there was a corresponding increase in
the revenue. The house then adjourned
until January 2S.

THE IRISH ELECTIONS.
Success of Laboritcs and Waning Flower
of Parnelllsm Noted.

Dublin, Jan. 17.-Judging from the res
suits already known at midnight, the
Irish elections to-day have been res
markable for the success of the labor
ties and the waning power of Parnell-
ism. The new feature is that women
were allowed to vote for the first time.
In Dublin the representation of labor
has been quadrupled, while the Parnell-
ties have secured little more than half
their former strength, although, owing
to internal dissensions, in Mr.. John
Redmonds party, it is rather difficult
to give an accurate estimate. Mr.. Red
mond himself has been elected for one
ward, but he did not head the poll and
therefore missts the aldermanship. Mr..
Timothy Harrington is in the same
boat, having been topped by new la
borite In Cork the Parnellites have
done better. but they have failed to re-
tain their former ascenGancy, having
now only a majority of one over the Dill
lonites while the laborites have secured
nine seats. Speaking generally there III
an increase of nationalist power, but
nothing like a rigorous exclusion OF
unionists.

NEWS FIR oar HAT1NA.


| Havana, Jan. 1.-Some idea of the
conditions here in Havana and Of the
real magnitude of the work before the
military administration can be gath
cred from a letter sent recently by Ma
jor General Ludlow, military governor
of the department of Havana, to the
late mayor, Marquis D'Esteban, in re-
ply to letter complaining that certain
United States staff officers had been op
Grating in the mayoralty sphere with
out consulting him. After an express
sion of regret that the marquis had been
inconvenienced in any way and an as
surance that, whatever, had been done,
no discourtesy was intended, General
Ludlow says: You must admit, how
ever that the city of Havana is in
deplorabe condition. The Spaniards
have left it bankrupt, unable to pay its
employees who have lacked their salaries
for many months. The prisons and
homes for the destitute are without
supplies, food or medicine. The sani-
tary condition is frightful. Almost in
conceivable conditions exist which are
menace to the health Of the city The
Spaniards have left Havana with
scarcely an attribute of modern civili-
zation and practically in the sanitary
condition of a city two centuries ago.
For the time being Havana, as we'll as
the island, is in a helpless and desti-
tute condition. The United States is
Professionally in charge OF the admins-
tration of affairs, military and civil
The American government has eXpend-
ed large sums Of money for the regen-
Grafton of the island and is ready to
spend more. The money which, at this
very moment is being used to maintain
the charitable institutions of the city
is money allotted by the United States
as free gift for this purpose. We
have given food rations by the millions
and employment to thousands of men
who needed it.

Washington, Jan. 17.-President Nc
Kinley to-day sent a message to con-
gress recourting as another glorious
page in the history of American seamen

of the revenue cutter Bear in rescung

f1culties of the trip and of the overland
expedition by which First Lieutenant
Davis H. Jarvis, Second Lieutenant

Cobb took reindeer to meet the wants
of the whalers temporarily. After a
graphic recital of the peris encountered

DIXON DEFEATS UTO.
Young South African knocked Out in
Tenth Round.

New York, Jan. 17.-Once more George
Dixon proved his cleverness and hard
hitting ability tonight at the lenox
Athletic club, where he defeated Young
in the tenth round Of what was to have
been a twenty bout. The knock
out came in the shape Of a left swing
in the stomach, which crushed the wind
out of Pluto. He went to the floor and
lay on his back for nearly twenty Sec
onds before his handlers carried him to
his corner. Pluto was heralded as a
world beater by his friends, but al
though he is very clever in defensive
work and undoubtedly game, he was
never dangerous. Dixon soCn battered
down the Africans guard and early in
the fight demonstrated that he was
Pluto's master. AS the rounds rapidly
succeeded each other, Plutos strength
was fast ebbing, While Dixon showed
no signs of distress, but on the contrary
seemed to gain renewed energy and
forced his opporent ali over the ring
He rained lefts and rights on head and
body, only receiving an occasional blow
in return. In the ninth round he sh Juld
have knocked his man out, as the op-
portunity presented itself for a right
swing to the jaw. Dixon did not try
to take advantage of this chance, as he
plainly saw that Pluto could not go
much further. Although Dixon cannot
hit as hard as formerly, his wonderful
cleverness still stands with him and it
looks now as if he would be able to hold
his own against all corners for a long
time to come.
