J. Ramsey Sons, Baltimore, "The awards will not be made for some days. Speaking of the result of the biddine, Secretary Whitney said: "I am well satisfied except with reference to cruiser No. 1. No bid has been received within the limit fixed by congress for the outside cost of the boat.

The onlv solicitude I have ever had with reference to the bidding arose from the fact that the conditions which were imposed upon the bidders in the way of producing tbe horse power upon which the speed of the ships depend is much more exacting tihan has ever been called for before. I feared that the limit fixed by congress for the cost of the 6hips would be exceeded on the three lirge cruisers and the No. 1 gunboat. We shall be able to let all but the 4,000 ton ship to responsible parties within the limits fixed." The secretary added that the bids are only about 15 per cent higher than those for vessels of similar sizes and character constructed abroad, which he considers a very favorable showing. TIio Naval Washington, D.

Nov. 24. The gross amount of estimates for the different navy yards and stations, as shown by the annual report of Rear Admiral Harmony, is made up of the following items: Improvements, general maintenance, repairs and preservation, naval asvlum, civil establishment, $78,501. The report treats at length of the rapid deterioration of the buildings and docks from the lack of appropriations sufficient to maintain them. The advisability of preparing dry docks at comparatively remote places which are frequented by merchant shipping is suggested and it is said that these docks could be used by the navy in conjunction with the merchant marine.

II. M. Hoxle's Death. New York, Nov. 23.

H. M. Hoxie, general manager of the Gould southwestern system, died at 2 :30 this morning at his rooms in the Metropolitan opera house block. The cause of his death was exhaustion consequent on the operation performed on him at Saratoga in June last by removing stones from the bladder. He had also suffered from kidney disease for the last thirty-five years.

He had been very weak for the last seven days, but the doc'iors had great hopes of his recovery. The patient began to sink rapidly at 5 o'clock la At evening but was conscious to the last. Ars. Hoxie and Captain Hayes were with him "when he expired. Shortly after the troubles on the Wabash system of railroads and the southwestern roada last May Mr.

Hoxie begun to complain of pains in the loins. Finally he became so much worse that he was compelled to give up work and take a much ueede rest. The trouble with the strikers worried him very much. He left St Louis in the latter part of May and came east to THB FATAL OPERATION. After consultation he concluded to have an operation performed, which resulted in his death.

After the operation he was relieved and felt better for a time than he had for years, and hoped that by taking a rest he would regain his health entirely. Mr. Hoxie, in company with his wife, took a trip to Montreal August 25. From there they went to Quebec and the White mountains. He came to New York September 10, took apartments in the Broadway flats in the Metropolitian opera house block and became ill, when his physicians, Drs.

Metcalfe and Ward, were called. He was still weak from the effects of the operation, and any excitement was deleterious. He failed rapidly but suffered little, and had hopes that he would be able soon to attend a meeting of the managers of the southwestern pool. Mrs. Hoxie and Captain Hayes were with him continually.

DEATH FORESHADOWED TO HIM. Friday Mr. Hoxie was able to sit up for a short time and had the newspapers read to him. Yesterday he received several friends the morning and talked with his wife about business affairs. At 5 o'clock in the evening he complained of feeling weak and stated that he thought he was going to die.

Hoxie's physician said to-day that his patient had a wonderful will power that fought bravely against death. If he had been a younger man with a strong constitution he would have lived. BY THE SIDE OF HIS BOY. There will be no funeral services in this city. The body will be embalmed and taken to Des Moines, to-morrow and the funeral services will be held on Saturday.

Mr. Hoxie had a son who is buried in the family clot in the. cemetery at Des Moins, aud before he died he expressed a wish that he should be buried by the side of his child. EARLY LIFE AND HISTORY. While Mr.

Hoxie's early days were spent in the east, he was a western man in the fullest sense of the term, having followed the advice of Horace Greeley at an early age, and hewed out of the western wilds of Colorado a start in life. Starting eastward at the age of 19, he stopped for a time at a famous old tavern in Polk county, Iowa, owned by a large farmer named Thomas Mitchell, who is still living and is a hale and hearty old man. He was induced by Mr. Mitchell to remain and assume management of his vast agricultural and stock interests, which young Hoxie soon made more valuable and productive by his push and energy. The statement that he worked as a hostler is an error, as, when he arrived in Iowa, Mr.

Hoxie had managed to scrape to- $2,500 a fortune in those days, le remained with Mr. Mitchell several j'ears, and firuilly married a niece of the old gentleman. He engaged in politics in Iowa and in 1S64-5 was chairman of the state central committee, pa-forming his work well that he was rewarded with a United States marshal-ship. His first railroad work was as a conductor on the Union Pacific, of which road he was for a time superintendent. It was as general superintendent of the International and Great Northern, about 1874, that his merits as a railroad man were first fully recognized, and his steady advance from that time to his appointment as first vice president and general manager, about three years ago, was very rapid.

F' Africans Rise Against Portugese. London, Nov. 23. Advices from Durban dated November 3, state that a general and apparently successful revolt is in progress among the natives against the Portuguese authorities in southeast Africa. An American missionary, Wilcox, who arrived in Durban from the Portuguese settlement on the east coast above Transvaal, reports as follows: The natives at Inhambane, a Portuguese port 200 miles above Delagoa bay, rose up againsl Itortuguese taxation and murdered the collect-'or.

October 23, a battle was fought betwe en 8,000 Portuguese and friendly natives on ne side and 30,000 hostile natives on the other. NINE THOUSAND KILLED. The Portuguese were defeated and routed, and the loss in killed on both sides is estimated at 9,000 men. Wilcox says the governor of Mozambienue has gone into "the country to endeavor to suppress the revolt and save this part of Inhambaue from falling into the hands of the insurgents. The town was barricaded when the missionary last heard from it, and the women and children had been removed to ships lying in Roadstad.

The entire country around about the town has already been abandoned by the Portuguese. Arrangements have been made to remove the population of Inhambane out to sea if the hostile natives attacked the the town in force. A Destructive Tornado. Gieahd, Nov. 22.

KANSAS RETURNS. Murder and Mystery. Kansas Crrr, Nov. 25. The Times says: A murder that promises to be as mysterious as the celebrated Conway murder case was perpetrated la "Curly's place," a saloon cm Lydla avenue, between Fourth and Fifth Btrcets between 11 o'clock and midnight last night, Charles Springer, the bartender, was the victim, but who the assassin is may, from the peculiar circumstances of the case, never be known.

The story of the murder Is given herewith! At about midnight Lewis Shane, alias Curly, the proprietor of the saloon, who had been to tho clgarruakcrs ball at the Casino, drove up to the saloon in Landis hack No. 107 with his little daughter, lie entered the saloon and found an old man named Fred Curcilius, an assistant in the saloon, asleep behind the stove. Not seeing Springer Mr. Shane aroused Curcilius aud asked him where Charley, meaning Springer, was. Tlie old man looked around and replied: "I guess ho has gone out." Mr.

Shane then went behind the bar and saw Springer stretched out on the floor, with his brains oozing from a bullet wouud in his head. Leaving his little daughter, Mr. Shane ran out of tho saloon and culled to the hack driver to call for the police stating that Charloy was dead. Mr. Shane himself ran down to Kehoe's saloon at the corner of Fifth and Lydla, about 20J feet distant, and bursting in upon a crowd of men who were engaged lu a ratlle horrified thera by exclaiming, "For God's sake telephone for the police, Charley is killed." William Blaine telephoned to tho central police station, and No.

1 patrol wagon with Hounds-man Grlillu, Police burgeon Wood and several other policemen on board was at ti.e scene of the murder a few momeuts later. The patrol wagon )ft the central station at between 12s 15 and 12:20 o'clock. It went at the full speed of the horses and arrived at fCnrly's place within five minutes from the time it started. Surgeon Wood found Springer where ho had fallen. The heart was still palpitating faintly, and the body was still warm.

In Dr. Wood's "opinion he could not have been shot over thirty minutes after he examined the body, There Mas a bullet wound on the, left side of the head about two luches back of the forehead, and the bullet had ranged downward and backward toward the ear. Under Tho bar was a 32-caliber revolver which Roundsman Griilin examined and found had not been loaded for some time. The body was lying doubled up back of the bar where it had' fallen. It was removed to the central station aud thence to the morgue.

Police Surgeon Wood, with the customary presence mind, took the precaution to take most of the important witnesses to the central station, and from them the facts which rend rs the murder such a mysterious one were ascertained. There had been a rnflle at "Curly's place, where Springer was murdered, as well as at Kehoe's. One witness states that he left Curly's at about 11 o'clock and a number of men were still there whose names he did not know. At about 12 o'clock Mr. Shane, or "Curley," discovered the old man Curcilius Bleeping behind the stove and Springer murdered bebind-the bar.

Curcilius stated that he was sleeping most of the night, heard no pistol shot and knew nothing of the murder till Mr. Shane woke him up. Mr. Shane states that he found empty glasses and a whisky bottle standing on the counter as If Springer had set them out to give some one a drink. Suspicion naturally points to old man Curcilius, but it only needs a talk with him to convince anyone that he, as he claims, was asleep, lie is a simple, halfwitted old man, who was employed to stay around the saloon at night and relieve Springer If necessary.

lie says there were still several Iwrsons In the saloon when he went asleep, lis apparent simplicity, his entire lack of motive and his straight seems to exculpate him. Besides, th act of the empty glasses, apparently set odt for some one to take a drink, which was never taken, the fact that the wound in Springer's head 6howed that he was shot while stooping seems to indicate that the murderer was some one who came in and ordered a drink and while Springer was stooping back of the bar to get out a water pitcher or something elsa the person shot him over the bar and escaped. What the motive was is a mystery. No one in the vicinity heard the ehot and the old man was not awakened. The murder must have been committed between some time after 11 o'clock and midnight, as one witness left several men In the saloon at 11 o'clock, and the body was discovered before midnight.

The bullet was hot from 32 caliber revolver. List of Members of the House of Representatives. There are ninety-six republicans, twenty-five democrats, three independents and one anti-monopolist. Following is the list by districts HOUSE. 1 B.

Bundrum again Insisted on having the pistol, and finally, on pledging his word that he should not be hurt, the assassin handed It to Mrs. Bundrum, who stepped into another room and put it uuder the mattress of the bed.

In a few minutes the officers of the law arrived and took Yarborough to jail, followed by a large and excited crowd of citizens, several of whom spoke In very strong terms of using a rope on the culprit before he arrived at the jail. Wiser counsels, however, prevailed, and he was safely incarcerated. AFRAID OF MOB VENGEANCE. On the route to the jail the prisoner was badly frightened by the sight of a rope in the hands of the boy and begged for protection from the officer and Bundrum, telling the latter that he had pledged his word to him or he would never have delivered up his revolver. Collier, as above stated, is a son of the Rev.

Robert Laird Collier, the eminent divine of Kansas City. He had just arrived from a visit to his father and sisters at that place this morning, where he had been on a visit with his Inteuded bride for the purpose of introducing her to his relatives and was talking to her and the other ladies when called to the door to meet his death. The fatal shot toolc effect in the left breast, and evidently passed immediately through the heart, killing him almost instantly. MIS9 BALDWIN PROSTRATED. Miss Baldwin is wild with grief and utterly prostrated.

She is seemingly unable to appreciate that her intended is actually dead. The dead man's father was immediately telegraphed the news and instructed to catch the 10 p. m. train. There is some difference of opinion as to where Yarborough hails from.

He had for some months past been a salesman in a large dry gflbds house In this city, and had only recently left it to take the situation offered him by Collier. Ou being seen at the jail he refused to talk and asked to be sent to lopeka for safekeeping, stating that he knew a mob would get him and hang him if he remained here. It is said that he was originally from South Carolina and later from Texas. It is also said by the dry goods firm for whom he worked that he came from Fort Scott here and brought first-class recommendations with him. He is a fine looking young man with a black moustache and black eyes and is something of a dandv in appearance.

SOME TALK OF LYNCHING. After the killing aud before being jailed Yarborough seemed at moments bowed down with grief, declaring that Collier had been the best mend he had ever had and again bursting out luto a torrent of oaths aud cursing every one near him, but he became very caln? after being hand-cuffed by the officers. There is some talk of lynching by the people on the streets, but it is evidently only talk, for while all are agreed that the murderer deserves a short shrift none seem willing to lead or talk the law in their own hands, and there is hardly a doubt that this eokl blooded murderer will at the most only have to expiate his crime by being incarcerated in the peni-tvutiary. An Appallng Disaster. Frankfort, Nov.

10 During the height of the storm yesterday afternoon, at Intervals through the blinding snow storm, a three-masted schooner could be seen about three miles southeast of here. Her poles were almost bare, and the deck seemed clear of cargo. An attempt was made to anchor her, and she held for a long time, but soon broke loose and drifted before the gale. The wind gradually increased in violence, and the seas were growing larger every moment, when dnrkness settled over the face of the lake. Help was asked from the life-saving station at Manistee, but it was impossible for a tug to live is such a gale.

After great trouble the life-saving station six miles north of here was reached and the apparatus hauled dowu the coast by a few volunteers over hills, ravines, tree trunks and heavy snowdrifts and pelted by the driving snow and hail. They arrived at the scene at Spring creek at 4 o'clock this morning after a twenty mile struggle, but by this time the vessel was totally broken up and with the cargo piled up on the beach, everything being completely destroyed. Broken masts, shrouds, lumber and debris were mixed and up together. Captain Matthews thinks she must have had her anchor down and pounded to pieees on the outer bar. One body was found, that of a man about 30 years old, with black hair, sandy mustache and clothing to resist the weather.

In the pocket of his coat was a letter bearing the address "William Laurey, 131 Madison street, Chicago." His face was badly jammed and his hands cut. The vessel's yawl with the name Menckaunee was near by uuinjured It is thought she had a crew of four men and that she broke as soon as she struck. No other bodies have been discovered. Another wreck was discovered two miles south, where the same chaotic wreckage was seen, and the entire 6tem of the schooner Marinette of Racine was discovered. At a neighboring farm house was a bruised and battered sailor with lacerated hands from which the flesh was stripped, and his feet were badly swollen.

He is C. W. Annis of Port Huron, a sailor on his first trip, and is the only survivor of this vessel. General Kaulbars Quits Bulgaria. Sofia, Nov.

19. General Kaulbars and the Russian consuls left Bulgaria to-day. In his note to the Bulgarian government announcing his departure the general says that the government has rejected Russia's counsels, which were intended to extricate Bulgaria from her difficulties and has continued its insolent attacks upon Russian subjects. His further presence, he adds, is useless, Bulgaria having completely lost confidence in Russia. Vienna, Nov.

19. Dispatches from Sofia state that the regent knew five days before Russia instructed General Kaulbars to leave Bulgaria unless his demand lor the dismissal of General Mutkouroff was complied with that he was going to leave anyhow. The authorities have all been ordered to afford every facility for safe departure to the Russian officials and those under their protection who will leave the country along with General Kaulbars, and to take all the steps necessary to prevent auv outbreak or disorder on the occasion of their departure. It is stated that Russia will send to the powers a memorandum concerning the Bulgarian question and the action of General Kaulbars. Telegrams have been sent from Lompalanka to Prince Alexander congratulating him on the first anniversary of his decisive victory over the Servians, which was one at Slivnitza on November 18, 1885.

MORE DEMANDS BT KAULBARS. General Kaulbars has demanded the liberation of the Montenegrins imprisoned at Bourgas, threatening that if they are not released he will resort to extreme measures. Owing to the press censorship here the Karaveioff paper resorted to quoting Isaiah the Prophet upbraiding the Israelites and foretelling their doom. The czar has telegraphed his warm thanks to the official whom Colonel Mutkouroff arrested for services in the Russian cause, and has granted the man a pension and a decoration. It Is seml-officially stated that Lord Iddes-leigh, British secretary of state for foreign affairs, acting in concert with count Kalnoky, will not support the prince of Mingrelia for the Bulgarian throne at present, but await the utterance of the Bulgarian people on his candidature.

London, Nov. 20. The retirement of General Kaulbars from Bulgaria is spoken of in all the European capitals as the retreat of Russia before the united force of Europe.

Crushed by a Gale of I). Collier Murdered.

Kansas City, Nov. S3. The Times' Emporia, Kansas, special says: One of the most cowardly and cold-blooded assassinations In the history of Kansas took place this evening at about 8 o'clock at the residence of no-race Bundrum, one of the leading merchants. The victim is L. D.

Collier, a son of the Rev. Robert Laird Collier of Kansas City, who was holding tho position of material agent at this point for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo road, and the assassin Is a James G.

It seems that Yarborough had been on a somewhat protracted spree and thiB afternon went to the office In the absence of Collier and while some of the higher officials of the road were there.

Being drunk he made himself very objectionable. TROUBLE FORCED TTPON DIM. When Collier returned Yarborough walked up to blra and said he wanted to interview him, and when Collier left the office to keep from having trouble he followed him out and Insisted on whipping him.

He staggered back into the house, saying, "I am shot: I am killed," got as far as the kitchen, the door of which was open, and fell down and expired almosUmmedlately, without uttering another word. The assassin, on firing, followed up his victim for a step or two and then turned to leave the porch, but was met by Horace Bundrum, who had been out to see to his horses before retiring.

The women were screaming, and Bundrum asked what was the matter, at the same time stepping in far enough to see Collier, covered with blood, lying motionless on the floor. THB ASSASSIN DISARMED. Turning to the assassin, Bundrum asked him to step in and help him with the man be had shot. This Yarborough refused to do, but Bundrum Insisted, and being a powerful man prevailed.

The chances of injury to watches by magnetism hare been greatly multiplied by the development of the dynamo and its extensive application to electric lighting and other purposes, so that it is very common to find magnetized watches in the hands of persons having no connection whatever with electrical matters. A watch readily, becomes sufficiently magnetized to derange its action and render it entirely unreliable.

Proximity to a dynamo is necessary to accomplish it. The remedy is administered on the homeopathic principle, similiaslmilibu3 curantur. If the watch is suffering from on attack of "magnetism, magnetism must effect the cure. The watch, is tested to ascertain in the first place whether it is magnetism and in need of treatment, and afterwards to determine whether the treatment was effectual by presenting its different sides to a compass needle, or better, an ordinary cambric needle magnetized and suspended by a single fiber of silk attached to its center. The attraction of theneedle by the watch is not positive evidence of its magnetization, but if one end of the needle is attracted by one side of the watch and repelled by the other side, it indicates that the watch is magnetic Electrical Review Of the 2,800 students who have been graduated from Williams College, 2,229 sat under the instruction cf the venerable Mark Hopkins during the sixty-one years of his active eoa section with the college.
