WASHINGTON BUREAU OP THE DEE.
1407 F Street , N. W.
WASHINGTON , July 23.
The special committee made up of throe
rcnators and three representatives , created
for thi ! purpose of creating a systematic re
organization ot the navy , has completed Its
work on the staff and line officers of the
navy and the marine corps. H remains only
to organize the enlisted branch of the service.
The entire scheme of naval reorganization
will be reported to congress next week. In
the reorganizations of the staff and line It
In provided there shall bo eight military
corps , designated as follows : Corps of the
line ; medical corps , pay corps , engineer corps ,
naval constructors , naval cadets , enlisted
man. The list of commissioned line officers
is divided Into several grades , with the fol
lowing limits : Sixteen rear admirals , six
captains , 100 commanders , seventy-four lieu
tenant commanders , 250 HeutnantH , 750 lieu
tenants of junior gfado ; ensigns sufficient to
maintain the active list.
The grade of commodore on the active list
of the navy Is abolished and offlcers In the
grade now In the active list shall be com
missioned rear admirals. No Increase Is
mode In the pay of nny corps. The status
of each Is fully defined and the contention of
many officers ns to relative rank of staff and
line officers Is remedied. The pay of staff
officers la reduced to moke It conform to that
of the line officers of the same rank. Ono
of the most Important features Is the cre
ation of n "reserve list" to overcome the
present congestion of the line. The reserve
Hat Is llmltd to 100 , and Is made up by tak
ing from the most congested branch of the
service. Those entitled to qntcr the list must
have entered the service between 18G1 and
1867 , Inclusive. This "reserve" does not In-
orooso the number of ofllcers , and the pur
pose Is to assign ofllcors of this list to work
now performed by ofllcera on active shore
service. It Is reported that rear admirals
shall be appointed by the president from the
list of admirals , and shall bo confirmed by
the senate.
ELECTING SENATORS DY DIRECT VOTE.
Representative Tucker of Virginia , the
author and champion of the resolution for
a constitutional amendment to elect senators
by direct vote of the people , which passed
the house on Saturday , U sanguine that the
senate will also pass the resolution and the
neco/sary three-fourths of the states will
glvo their assent necessary to make It
effective.
"There will be no difficulty In getting the
atsont of the states , " said Mr. Tucker , "as
there is no limit within which the senators
nro to give their consent. When , there
fore , congress submits the constitutional
amendments , ten of them approve It and one
objects. The ten affirmative votes .count
In its favor , but the one negative does not
count again t. That Is , the state which has
voted In the negative may try again the
next year. Thus only affirmative votes are
recorded at the State department , and then ,
after a series of years. If the affirmative votes
reach three-fourths of all the states the
oonsltution Is amended. At present , with
forty-four votes wo should need the a-sent
of thirty-two. The assent of fourtean Is
assured In advance , as eleven state legisla
tures had formally resolved In favor of the
change up to two years ago and three more
Blnco that time. California , Oregon , Indiana ,
Illlnoli , New York , Michigan , Kansas , Idaho ,
AVest Virginia , Louisiana and Ohio are
among the states already committed.
'In the meantime , while the states are
R.vlnp this as ent , the amendment la practic
ally In force , as many states are nominat
ing their senators at state conventions.
Illinois started the movement , Michigan has
recently followed and the practice will soon
become universal. Senators Palmer and
Mitchell are particularly Interested in the
measure In the senate and I have no doubt
of Its paisago at this session or In the ses
sion opening In December. "
GAS MOTORS FOR STREET CARS.
Ono result of the publication n few months
ago ot the promising performance of pas
motors as applied to street car propulsion
in Germany has been to flood the author of
the report , United States Consul Mason at
Frankfort , with letters from engineers and
other Interested perrons asking for more
data.
In complUnco with their requests the
consul has Just submitted another report
describing experiments made In England
with the same motor , which show oven , bettor
, Jesuits , the- cost of operation being so far
below that , of electrical or horse railways as
to mark a now departure In street railway
methods. The consul soys the Llcbrlg
patents have been acquired by an English
syndicate and the motor has been vastly
improved In ono way especially , whereby It
may readily be adjusted to cars already Unlit
for cable , electrical and horse power. The
report gives In detail a description of the
mechanism , showing how it operates with
great economy under the vastly different
conditions of heavy and light tralllc , and
says that the Improvements made have
largely redticsil Its cost. The car resembles
any ordinary horse car , running quietly and
easily , emitting neither smoke nor steam ,
and Is easily controlled , stopping on a down
grade of ono to twenty-threci In Its own
length. Its weight , filled with passengers , is
five and one-half tons and for gas It costs
2 cents per mile , against 7 cents per mile
for fodder and bedding for horses. The- first
cost Is about the same ns n horse car with
eleven horses required to draw It. A special
car Is being made In England for exhibition
In the United States nrxt October.
KELLY IN HARD LINES.
Kelly's Commonwealers nro camped near
Washington In a starving condition. Delng
compelled to beg , some of them have been
arrested for vagrancy. Judge Miller had a
squad of them before him , and after reading
them a vigorous lecture , let them go.
"You have been terribly misled , " said Judg
Miller , "and everybody sympathizes with you.
and there ,1s no one on earth who does not
want to help you If you nro really In earnest
and want work. But the people won't help
tramps and vagabonds.
"This Is a terrible stateof affairs. Hero
you are , several hundreds In number , penni
less and without food , and here because of
some crazy Idea In your head about what
is to turn up. "
Further questioning brought out the true
condition of affairs. In the camp over tin1
river , ono prisoner said , there are several
hundred men without tents , blankets , feeder
or evtn spring water. At the lime of this
arrest , ho said , ho had boon without food
for more than twenty-four hours , but never
until he joined the army had he experienced
such suffering.
Ho expressed a deslro to return In the di
rection of his homo In the west , and Judge
Miller said he would certainly Ilko to as
sist him back homo.
"I don't want to send you to the work
house , " the Judge told him , "but If this
begging keep * up that Is Just whcro you
and your companions will have to go.
"I heartily sympathize with you poor ,
misled men , but have not a. bit of sympathy
with your leaders. They are keeping you
hero In Idleness and starvation for their
own purposes. If I let you go what will you
do ? "
"I'll go over to see Kelly and tell him I'm
going home , " \\us his answer.

Federal Government Mint Toot Hlg HUM
for Trnnapnrting Trnop * by Hull.
WASHINGTON , July 23. While residents
of Cook county , Illinois , will undoubtedly
suffer an enormous loss resulting from the
disorder and lawlessness attending the great
strike the taxpayers of the United States at
largo will also have a considerable bill to
foot to meet the expenses Incurred by the
national government. That this will be con
siderable there will be no doubt , but at
present It Is not possible for the accounting
officers to reach even an approximate esti
mate of the total.
July 14 the attorney general sent to con
gress a communication asking for a deficiency
appropriation of $250,000 to defray the ex
penses of retaining United States marshals
and deputies for service during the Common
weal movement and the strike. Now ho is
satisfied all this money and perhaps more
will bo required to meet expenses. A large
number of deputies were employed and in
many Instances It was necessary to feed and
shelter them at the government's expense.
Arms and ammunition were purchased , car
riages and horses were hired and railway
fares were paid.
The War department also has been put to
great expense , but Just how much will not
be known until the quarterly and special re
turns como to Washington. The troops car
ried with them the rations they would other
wise have eaten at their posts , so there Is
no additional expense on that score. The
principal Item of expenditure will be under
the head of transportation.
In some cases the railroad companies will
probably present no bills , especially where
the troops were employed In the protection
of their own lines , but In others , where the
troopi were hauled half way across the con
tinent , the bills will bo heavy. The limited
annual appropriation for the transportation
of troops was at a low ebb when the strike
occurred and In consequence of these extra
ordinary war expenses the War department
has had to forego altogether Its usual prac
tice of transferring troops from one place
to another , so much hardship will result
to the troops stationed at posts In the ex
treme south and In the Indian country who
had reasonably expected to bo transferred to
less arduous service after serving their turn.
SKNATOIIS TALKING IT OVIUt.
Democratic Steering Committee Has a Lit
tle rotniiltutlon After Adjournment ,
WASHINGTON , July 23. Immediately
after the adjournment of the senate today
there was a conference of democratic leaders
of that body In the room of the committee
on appropriations. Among thOM prsssnt
were : Senators Gorman , Brlce , Caclircl ! , Har
ris , Ransom and Blackburn , comprising most
of the democratic steering committee. The
senators had a long talk , and when they
departed no conclusion had been reached as
to the best way out of the present delicate
position In which the majority found them
selves. The proposition for a caucus was
discussed , and some of the senators thought
It would be wlso to have a general confer
ence of democratic senators Defore any step
was taken. The matter of calling a caucus
was left for further consideration and will
no doubt be discussed among other senators
and their views ascertained as to the ad
visability of taking such action. Senator
Vllas will Insist upon his motion striking
out the one-eighth of a cent differential on
sugar "and several senators will hold that it
Is Incompetent to Instruct the conferees to
recede from any portion of an amendment as
though It were an entire amendment. The
point will bo made that the conferees can
bo Instructed on any Item by the senate.

cases of Ferdinand Garbarro , Theodore

LINCOLN , July 23. ( Special to The Bee. )
Mrs. Betsey C. TIbbctts , who resides In the
northern part of the city , came Into the
police court la a very flurried state ot mind
this morning and asked the police force to
go Immediately In search of her daughter ,
who she says has eloped with Horace Chapon ,
a 19-year-old boy.
It appears that young Chapon has been
paying attentions to Miss Ida for some time
past , but hla visits to the house were dis
couraged by her mother , who thought her
daughter too young to bo made the object
of the affections of any young man , as she
Is only 14 years of age. It was while the
mother was at church yesterday that the
young conplo planned their presumable elope
ment. Not much attention was paid to her
absence from home yesterday , but when she
did not return at night an Investigation
showed that a wedding wardrobe , consisting
of two dresses , had been taken , while the
father of the young man says that ho had
only $1.50 to his knowledge.
The mother Is much angered over the act
of her daughter and says that some ono Is
going to have trouble on his hands , as Ida
Is under the age of consent and her mar
riage would bo Invalid. She has furnished
the police a complete description of her
daughter and It Is thought that she will
soon bo returned to her mother's protection.
The funeral of "Johnnie" I'atton , the well
known operator at the B. & M. freight house ,
occurred this morning from Roberts' under
taking rooms. The remains were escorted to
the depot by the Lincoln light infantry and
shipped to Emmetsburg , la. He died yes
terday evening at the hospital. Ills mother
arrived about 6 o'clock , but he was uncon
scious and did not recognize her. Ho has a
largo number of friends over the entire
state.
The daughter of the colored man Harris ,
who has been confined nt the pest house
with the smallpox , died Saturday night and
was burled In that vicinity. This Is the last
case of the disease reported and It Is now
thought to be entirely eradicated from the
city.
Secretary Dllworth returned from Schuylcr
and O'Neill Saturday , where he had been to
file the order to compel the railroads to put
In transfer switches at those points. The
petitions were not allowed to bo filed In
the supreme court and had to bo taken to
the district courts.
The arrangements for the formal mustering
In of the State band as a regimental band
are about completed and the ceremonies
promise to be very Impressive. Friday evenIng -
