Sixty Millions for the Navy.

New York Sun: The report of the
naval committee Of the house of rep
rcsentatives, made on Thursday, calls
for not less than sci ,219,916. No one
Who has studied intelligently the
needs of our navy, together with the
calls made and to be made upon it,
and the tendencies OF the time, will
say that this appropriation, large
though it be, is too large or beyond
what is necessary.
The position of the United States
among the larger naval powers of the
world is not fixed yet. Unless on
slant renewals are made to the navy
that position will be in the future
even less certain than now. In naval
as well as in all other matters, life
means reconstruction, and existence
means continual change.

Only Three Votes Against the West

Washington, May 1.-The senate yes
terday voted upon the resolution dcclar-
ing Nathan b. Scott to be entitled to his
seat I'm the senate from West Virginia.
The number of votes In the negative was
only three.
The pending question was the motion Of
PCttus to rcCOmmit the question to the
committee with instructions to inVcct!-
gate the case thoroughly. Turner, of
Washington, while saying he knew moth
ing of the case except what he had heard
I'm the course OF debate, declared that If
the facts were as stated by PCttuS, Scott
was not entitled to his seat. He believed
there had been duplicity, double dealing
and fraud in the election of Scott. He
particularly attacked the agreement
which had been entered into by certain
democratic and republican leaders of the
legislature, affecting the seats OF the
maintained that this presented such Il
state of facts to tho United States SEN

Ough investigation of the Scott case.
Tho motion of PcttuS was defeated
without division. The resolution of the
committee declaring that Scott was cnti-
tied to retain his seat I'm the senate was
then adopted - TO 3, the votes IN the neg
ativc being cast by Morgan, Pettus and
Turner.
Chandler then gave notice thai on next

NEGRO OISFRANCHlSEMENT,
Richmond, Va, Paper Declares IL
the One Great Issue of the State.

the One Great Issue of the State.
New York, May 1.-The Times
Richmond, Va, correspondent says:
'The question of calling Il cOnStitu-
tional convention in Virginia prima-
rily for the diSfranchiScmcnt of the
negroes has been practically settled so
far as the democrats are concerned.
\ majority of the delegates to the
democratic state convention, which
meets at Norfolk. May =. are instruct
ed i'm favor of making the call for the
convention party issue. This matter
is now the absorbing one in Virginia,
and the demand for the disfranchise-
mcnt of negroes and other constitu-
tional reforms has entirely overshad-
owed the original purpose for which
the Norfolk meeting was called.
""rhe constitution under which the
people now live was adopted in 1869,
by what was known as the Underwood
convention. That body was composed
of northern settlers and negroes. The
! white people of Virginia, very many
of whom we're then disfrancised, had
little or no part in formulating the or
ganization under which they have
since lived. There is an overwhelming
sentiment in the state in favor OF
eliminating the colored vote from its
politics forever. The elements OPP
posing this movement are the great
corporations, local officeholders and
| republicans. Some democrats, includ-
ing Governor Tyler, have taken the
position hat their party cannot carry
the convention at the polls May 20.
They insist that the elements named,
with the addition of the illiterate
whites, will defeat it."

RANGES IN SPLENDID SHAPE.
Grass Is Nearly II Month Earlier
Than Usual.

Salt Lake, May Nv: p Anderson,
travelling live stock freight agent OF the
Santa Fe railroad, passed through Salt
Lake enroute from the annual meetings
of the Range Cattle Growers association
OF the Dakotas and Montana, held at
Miles City and Helena. These meetings
directly and indirectly represent the cat
tie ranges of the entire northwest. He
reports that n thorough canvass of these
Cattlrmcn develops a concurrence in the
opinion that cattle throughout the entire
range country, embracing the upper Mis-
souri, valley and its tributaries. including
those of the Yellowstone and MIX river,
came through the winter in excellent con-
dition with only a nominal loss. Through
out the region mentioned the coming of
grass will average from three weeks to a
month earlier than usual. This condition
exists equally favorable all along the line
Of pastures and ranges from the Rio
Grande river to the Northwest Territory.

CARRIERS STEALINGS.
Expert Examination Shows Govern
ment Lost So, 100000

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-The Consti-
tuition this morning prints the report
of Edward i. johnson, the expert ac-
countant detailed by Attorney Gen
eral Griggs to assist United States At
torney Erwin, of Georgia, in develop
ing the extent of the frauds charged
to have been perpetrated upon the
government by Captain O. M. Carter,
now serving a sentence in the military
prison at Leayenworth, Kan. Accom-
panying the report is a statement
from Mr.. Westcott, Carriers father-in-
law, in which he repudiates Carriers
statement that the assets in the az
fair were Westcott's.
Expert Johnson's report shows that
Carter issued disbursing certificates
for various amounts to the contract
ors, month by month, which were de-
posted by them, of which o~ne-third,
less So per month allowed for Car
ter'S expenses TO New York, were
withdrawn by the contractors, and
either on the same date Of issue or a
day or two later Carter invested &C.
third of the mount in securities, MAX
ing Carter's one-third Of the spoils
over $jj0,0O0, exclusive Of $573,74S,
which was paid oycr in New York at
the time Carter was about to leave
the district when succeeded by Cap
tain Gillette.
The report says that Mr.. Westcott,
in a written statement, gives the gov
eminent full access TO his accounts in
the banks and his private papers.
These show, the examiner reports,
that while Carter frequently, through
Greene and the Gaynors and other
wise, made Westcott a depository of
money, in every instance it was
turned over or invested as Carter di-
rcCted.
&. Westcott has furnished the govern
mcnt with the receipt of Carter in the
captains own handwriting for all of
Carriers securities left with him and
so returned by him TO Carter, amount
ing to over 100000, the receipts spcci-
flying the securities in detail.
These securities did not include,
however, all Of Cartcr's investments
made since the beginning of his OPP
cratiOns with the other defendants.
This would indicate the total loss to
the government to be 50, 900, 600.
