fttruction for the navy of three coast-lino battle-ships and one protected triple-screw cruiser, provided forbv act of Congress, approved June ftt, 1SIO. Therewcre twoclasses of bids for tho battle-ships, one for their construction according to department's plans, and the other according to bidders' plans. The bids were a follows: Wui. E. Cramp fc Sons, of Philadelphia, offered to build one of the battle-ships according to department plans for S2J00,000, and two of them for 5,?H),00a Using his own plans they will buiUl one for 5,120.000 and two for $0,040,000. This farm ollered to build the protected cruiser on department's plans for $2,7.25,000. The Union iron-works, of San Fraucisco. offered to build one of tho battle-ships according to department plans for 3,210,000, and two of them for $6,400,000. Their bid for the cruiser was 3,025.000. The Bath iron-works, of Bath, Me., offered to build one of the battle-ships in accordance with department plans for $3,149,000. and the Kisdon iron-works, of San Francisco, offered to build one of that class of vessels for 83.273,000. There were no other bidders. In view of a provision of law that one of the battle-ships shall be bniltonthe Pacific coast, it is likely that the Union ironworks will get the contract for one of the battle-ships, and the Cramps will probably get the contracts for the other two battleships and the protected cruisers.

Washington, Oct. 1. Among the meas ures which got the presidential indorse ment barely by the skin of the teeth was the resolution which rectified the error as to the Illinois-river item in the river and harbor bill. Chairman Kennedy, of the House enrolling committee, has felt so chagrined at the big error of 8198,000 that he took special care to see that the joint resolution correcting it should have the presidential signature. The law stands now just as though the mistake had never occurred. Populations of Ohio Cities.

THE BAKEUiNDLV INCIDENT

Son-in-Law of the Murdered Guatema lan General on His Way to Washington, Where He Will Present the Case to the Presi dentThe Iligh Court at Dublin Decides Against Mr. Healy'a Application. IJARRUKDIA'S SON-IN-LAW. lie Will Go to Washington to See President Harrison Ills Wife's Attack on MIzner. City of Mexico, Oct. 1. Dr. Bengorchea. son-in-law of General Barrundia, arrived here to-night en route to tho United States to present the case of Barrundia to President Harrison. Bengorchea, after the killing of Barrundia, was constantly under the espionage of agents of the Barillas government. During the late war with Salvador he was an army surgeon. He makes the statement that when Barrundia embarked at Acapulco Pitts guaranteed his life. The story of the murder aboard the Acapulco, as given by Bengorchea, corresponds, with few exceptions, with the telegraphic re ports printed, lacking, perhaps, in somo horrible details. Pedro . Fonseca, whom Barrundia, during his term as Secretary of War, advanced, tired the first shot at him from behind the smoke-stack. Enrique Torrello, captain of tho port, who was advancedto a colonelcy bv Barrundia. kicked the General's body about tho deck after he had been killed by the police. Jjengorchea says bis wife, knowing before hand of her fathers death being planned. went to see Minister Mizner, and entreated him not to deliver her father into the hands of his murderers, and Mizner promised her that he would not do so. Bengorchea's wife called on Mizner four times, and each time he promised her not to deliver Bar rundia up to the Guatemalan authorities. The family of Barrundia is impoverished, and without even the necessaries of life. Mr. Bengorchea said further that his wife had intended to tire a shot at Mizner from the balcony of her house after the killing oi her father, but as he was passing with Levericn, the agent of the Racine Mail Company, she did not do bo, bat went to the legation, where Mizner was sitting with Levericn and United States Consul-general Hosmer. Leverich. seeing her. was going to leave, but Minister Mizner said: "Don't leave mo alone: this is tfarrnndia's daugh ter." To this she replied: "Yes, this is the daughter of Barrundia that comes to call yon to account for her fathers assassina tion. Sir. you are an assassin, iou. who are here representing so great a Ration as the United Mates, are nothing bat a great villain." She was ejected from the lega tion alter these utterances. COLD COMFORT FOR I IU 811 MEN. Acctisd Natl nallsts Must Stand Trial Before the Magistrate They Saj Is niased. Dublin. Oct. L The appeal of Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien and their fellow-accused to the High Court of Justice for a writ to prohibit the magistrates at Tipperary from proceeding with the conspiracy cases, on the ground of bias, has failed of its' object. Judge Holmes decided this morning not to grant the writ. No farther step can be taken, it is understood, with a view of changing the magistrates before whom the hearing, is to be contin ued. But the Nationalists feel . that their protests, persistently made against being tried by a magistrato whom they have reason to believe biased against them, will have much e licet on public opinion. Attention has been strikingly directed to the composition of the court before which political offenders, as tho Nationalists con sider the arrested men, are being tried. The case for the prosecution was continued at Tipporary to-day w.thout striking epi sodes. A note-taker employed by the police at Tipperary has made some damaging admis sions in regard to last ihnrsdav's collision in front of the court-house, lie says that at the time the trouble began he was inside the house. He was attracted by the noise, and- rushed into the street, carrying a Tevolver in one hand and a stick in the other. He made his way into the midst of the melee and began to use hisstick vigorously. He says he must have struck a half dozen . m am - persons, wmie ne mniseii receiveu no blow. Tho note-taker was in plain clothes at the time, and was employed to take notes in short-hand. As an indication of awakening of English publio opinion regarding Ireland, the action of the annual assembly of the Baptist denomination now in session is signifi cant. The assembly adopted a series of resolutions touching on public matters, among which was one severely condemn ing the government's Irish policy. Other resolutions were in favor of a system of free education and expressive of sympathy with tho movement for improving the con dition of the laboring classes. ROBBED IIIS RIVAL. How a British. Knight Secured Possession of Certain Letters and Photographs. London, Oct. 1. A sensational case came before the Westminster Police court this morning. The principal person involved was Sir Thomas George Freake, Bart., whose town house is at No. 8? Anslow Gardens. Sir Thomas was arrested at the instance of a Mr. Gibson, who used to be his intimate friend. The story told by Gibson is that Sir Thomas lured him, on one pretext or "another, to the cellar of an empty bouso in Kensington. There the Baronet, assisted by friends, overpowered Gibson and put him in handcuffs. This done, theassailants examined Gibson's pockets and took possession of bis keys. With these Sir Thomas proceeded to St George's Club, in Hanover square, went to Gibson's private box. un locked it. and took out and destroyed the letters and :-botographs which Gibson had received iccm a lady. After that he sent a telegram from the club, to which he signed Gibson s name, ine magistrate, alter a brief hearing, remanded Sir Thomas for a further examination. It is asserted that Sir Thomas and Gibson were rivals for the affections of the lady whose letters Sir Thomas appropriated, and that both of them had been on terms of intimacy with her. It is further asserted that tho lady had tired of Gibson's atten tions. 3nd that she was resent in the cellar at the time of the assault on Gibson.

Will Fight the Shipping Federation. London, Oct. 1. At to-day's session of the dockmen's congress, the subject of the new shipping federation was earnestly dis cussed.

We are called on to-day to vindicate not only the Republican party of this district, but of the Nation. Breckinridge has Uhurped the seat to which John M. Clayton was elected, and the Congress of the United States has so decided. He now has the audacity to come before the people and ask for an indorsement. I sav that such an indorsement would be a lasting stiftma upon the Republicans of this district. It shall never be given him. He is responsible, either directly or indirectly, for John M. Clayton's assassination, and the State or Arkansas will never be cleared from the stain - of that murder bo lona as Breckinridge remains in Congress.

Life was once dear to me, but the time has nbw come when I can take my life in my hands with perfect resignation and lr l can only succeed in earring the Second congressional district and defeat Breckinridgo I will willingly die in the canse."
