LONDON , Oct. 10. Sir Edward Clarke
writes to the Times this , morning regarding
the terms of his speech , contesting the Jus
tice of the British claims In Ihe Venezuela
case. Sir Edward says ha did nol suggest
lhat the Venezuelan question was being
used by either parly In Iho United States as i
n factor In the presidential election. "The i
object of my speech , " bo says , "was to
point to the danger of delaying a settle
ment until after election. It quotes a passage
from the Venezuelan case , alleging a falsi
fication of Iho mops , bul expresses my be
lief In the truth ot these accusations , for
the purpose of showing the serious elements
ot danger If the question comes to be a mat
ter of hot controversy between the United
States and England. "
The Times say editorially of the above :
"Sir Eduard Clarke's letter Is an Inadequate
answer. He showed a curious Ignorance of
the elements of the question when ho was
templed to tails ot It six months ago. H Is
lamentable that a mun who had been a Ian
officer of the crown should lay himself -open
to reproot In such a manner. "

The estimate for fortifications and scix-
"oast defenses has been Increased to $15,824-
)2S ) , an amount. Secretary Lament says ,
vhlcb will bo required to continue this work
at Its present rate of progress , which has
> ecn appreciably advanced under the large
appropriation which became available on
he 1st of July last. In connection with his
estimate the secretary has made public a
statement of the condition of his work , the
advance that has been mode by the Increased
ipproprlatlon which he asks. On the 1st
of July , 1893 , but ono modern gun had been
ilaccd In position. On the 1st of July , 1SI7 ! ,
he department shall have completed de-
defenses with armament as follows : Thlr-
ccn twelve-Inch , thirty-seven ten-Inch , eight
eicht-lnch and four rapld-flro guns and
eighty twelve-Inch mortars. The remainder
of Secretary Lament's letter transmitting the
estimates Is of a historical nature , reviewing
; ho progress made In seaconst de
fense. Ho says that for the fif
teen years preceding 1890 no appropriations
liad been made for engineering work on our
permanent coast defense except lh
small and steadily decreasing sum annually
allowed for the "protection , preservation and
repair" of existing works , but small amountr
had been granted for the construction .of
mining casemates and for the purchase o *
material for submarine defenses , while In
1SS8 and 1SS9 a total ot about $2.000,000 had
been appropriated for modern guns , mortars
and carriages. In 1S90 was made the flrsl
appropriation , 11,221.000 for midcrn nun nml
mortar batteries , followed by one of $750.000
In 1S91 , and by another of $500,000 In 1S92
This money was allotted by the department
for construction work , at varlo'ts ports , In
cluding a total of four twelve-Inch , twenty
ten-Inch , flvo eight-Inch , and two rapld-flrc
guns , displacements and sixty-four twelve-
Inch mortar emplacements. None of them ,
however , could bo made lo receive Us
armament until after the first small appro
prlatlons made In 1893 , and the- two sue
cccdlng years. Practically , Ihercforo , Ihe
secretary says. It devolved upon the Wai
department since 1893 to make pro
visions for the completion of ncarl ;
all ot these . "
emplacements. "It ap
pears , " the secretary says , "that
seventeen out of twenty-one twelve-Inch em
placements , fifty-five out of sixty-six ten-
Inch emplacements , twenty out of twcuty-
flvo clsht-lnch emplacements , fourteen out
of sixteen rapid-lira emplacements and
ninety-two out of 150 twelve-Inch mortar
emplacements have been entirely provided
for during the last four years , and that dur
ing the same tlmo a largo part of those pre
viously provUcd for have been prepared to
receive their armancnt. This favorable
showing Is duo to the liberality of congress
at Its recent session. The number of em
placements provided by the act ot June C ,
1S96 , Is Just fitlyIn excess ot the total pro
vided bynll preceding appropriations. The
progress In armament has been equally sat
isfactory. Figures are given to show that
prior to the act of June 6 , 1S96 , there had
boon completed twenty-one eight-Inch , fifty-
six ten-Inch and twenty-one twelve-Inch
guns , and eighty twelve-Inch mortars com
pleted , whllo there were twenty-seven eight-
Inch , thirty-five ten-Inch and twenty-nine
twelve-Inch guns In process of construction.
The appropriation of Juno 0 , 1896 , while
leaving the completed totals , reached the
Iho totals In process of construction to
twenty-seven eight-Inch , fifty-six ten-Inch ,
fifty twelve-Inch , ten slx-poundcr rapid fire
guns and sixty-six twelve-inch all steel.
The secretary says :
By the tlmo a now appropriation can be
come available nil details of every typo of
carriage will have been fully dotermjncd.
With sufllclcnt money , therefore , the limit
to future rapidity of progress In const de-
fcnso is the combined annual capacity of
public nnd private plantH to supply ma
terial. Upon this fact are based the de
partment's estimates for the ensuing year.
These estimates will provide the following :
Guns One slxtccn-lnch gun. finishing nnd
assembling ( forglngs already provided ) ;
twenty-one sets twelve-Inch gun forglngs ,
twenty-one sets ten-Inch gun for lngs : H4
all steel twelve-Inch mortars complete , fifty.
live e\x \ pounder rapid-lire guns with
mounts nnd 200 rounds per gun , anil twenty-
four live-Inch rapld-llro guns with mounts
ami 103 rounds per tain.
Carriages Twenty-one twelve-Inch dlsap.
pcarlng carriages , twenty ten-Inch disap
pearing carriages , eight eight-Inch disap
pearing1 carriages , 13s twelve-Inch mortar
carriages.
For Engineering Work Twenty twelve-
Inch emplacements , disappearing ; nineteen
ten-Inch emplacements , disappearing ;
twelve eight-Inch emplacements , disappear
ing : 113 rapld-llro emplacements , nnd 141
twclvo-lnch mortar emplacements.
Thus , If the present estimates of the War
department for permanent defenses should
receive the favornblo consideration of 'con
gress , wo ohall have by Juno 30 , 1&3S , tbo
following completed Itemu In the system of
defense :

f the little town of Carney , nbout twenty
miles cast ot here , last night. About 9
o'clock at night six jnnnUed nnd heavily
armed outlaws , supposed to have been
leaded by the notorious "Dynamite Dick , "
jno ot the associates ofThe Diltonn and BUI
) oolln , rode Into the \plnco and literally
'held up" the town. Carney Is a town of
about 300 people. The : rubbers entered Iho
illage from the north wnh n grcat show of
firearms. Two of the outlaws entered the
general store of B. Fonts and compelled him
and his son to open the rafe. After securing
r.bout ? SOO they bound tlie father anfl EOII ,
hrew them upon hordes and carried them
nbout two miles out of town , where they tied
hem to a tree. In the- meantime the rest
it the gang had entered' the postofflcc , fati
ng to secure anything of valun they raided
.ho hotel , compelling the proprietor and sev
eral traveling men who a-ero stopping there
o turn over their nioncy % watches nnd Jew
elry. Several smaller stores wcro also
raided. Before entering Carney tbo out-
"aw had taken the precaution to cut the
elcphono wires leading to Chnndler , so that
hero might bo no chance of a failure. Dur
ing the raid the bandits'kept ' up a fusllado
ot bullets In all directions , terrorizing the
Inhabitants so that very little effort was
made to resist the raiders.
It was some tlmo after the bandits had
oft before order could bo restored and an
organized pursuit begun. Finally , after con
siderable delay , about 109 armed men began
.ho chase. The pursuers wcro divided Into
three bands and went In different directions.
At dark tonight the bandits had not been
overtaken. Early this morning a band of
four men , believed to have been members of
'
the gang that ralde'd Carney , appeared nt
Mulhall , held up'a livery otablo keeper and
compelled him to supply them with a relay
of fresh horses. News was also received
: oday at the United States marshal's office
that two men , supposed lo have been mem
bers of the gang , had stepped at a farm
louse , about fifteen miles jigrthcast of hero ,
and demanded food. Several United States
narshals , headed by Deputy Colcord , arc In
pursuit.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 18. The program for
the meeting ot the directors of the Catholic
university Indicates a brief and business
like session. The meeting begins at 10:30 :
on Wednesday In the senate chamber of
McMahon hall. The sessions will bo private ,
and the Indication la that no information OE
to the choice ot Bishop Keanc's successor
will bo made public after the meeting or
until the pope has acted on the recommcnda
tloi : of the directors.
The meeting of the archbishops bcgtnr
Thursday morning at the same place , but
this has to do with the general affairs of
the church , and not with the university.
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Williams
of Boston , Corrlgan of New York , Ryan o
Philadelphia , and Gross ot Oregon arc anionf
( host- who wilt attend.
There appears to bo no crystallization on
any name for the rectorship to succeed
Bishop Keane. Objections arc raised to most
ot the names already mentioned In the press ,
and In university circles It lo felt that th'
conjecture has not come from those wh
will have a choice In the selection. Very
Rev. Augustln F. Hewlt of New York , who
has been mentioned. Is said to be too far
advanced In years to undertake the arduous
work of managing the university. One ol
the members of the board has stated that
It was at least settled that a man In the
prlmo of life would be chcsen. Moreover ,
Father Hewlt belongs to the Paullst order
and thus far the university has been di
reeled by the regular clergy outside of the
orders. Concerning Bishops Horstman of
Cleveland , Bacon of Georgia , Montgomery of
'
California and Spaldlng of I'c'orla , It Is said
that the pope's letter stating that
"rotation" shall prevail nt the university
will make It Inexpedient for any bishop or
nrchbluhop to accept the place , as the next
rector In assured of being "rotated" out of
onice after a few years' service. The tenure
of Ihe bishops Is for life , so that they arc
not likely to give up a place of sui'h dig
nity and permanence for u temporary posi
tion , which , when It was terminated , would
Icuvc them without a diocese. The name of
Rev. Dr. Brlnn of St. Agnes' parish , Now
York , continues to be prominently men
tioned. Archbishop Chapcllo of Santa Fe
Is also mentioned , although the objections
alr.cdy hta cd make , t unlikely that he woud :
accept. It was bo who. when In charge of
St. Matthews' church here , bought the tract
on which the university Is now located for
the small sum of $28,090. In some quarters
connected with the university the Impres
sion prevails that Cardinal Satolll knows
who the next rector will be , and that the
personal Information he will bo able to lay
before the pope at an early day will be de
cisive In determining the rectorship. The
expectation Is that the new rector will not
cntor upon his duties bcforo the Christinas
holidays.

chusctts arrived In Thomson , the homo of
the vice presidential candidate , Sunday noon.
T'icy wrru met at the depot by Mr. Watson's
son and driven to the homo of the nominee.
The three have been In continual confc'rcncc
since , stopping only for meals. The greatest
possible Interest Is shown by Mr. Watson's
personal and political friends In the confer
ence now going on. Prominent local popu
lists , ordinarily In the confidence of the nom-
Ince , have called only to llnd that their
leader begged to be excused. Mr. Watson
received the reporter of the Associated press
this morning at 1 o'clock. Ho politely but
firmly refused to say anything regarding the
political situation of his letter. When asked
whether ho would give out his letter to
night he replied : "It will not bo given out
tonight. 1 have nothing whatever to say.
Neither have Mr. Reed nor Mr. Washburn.
They will leave for Atlanta early In the
morning , and If there Is anything of Inter
est to the public In our conference they will
give It out tomorrow. "
. M/VWntl0n ! ' " " ' 'M no secret of the fact
that his letter Is In the hands of Chairman
Butler , and has been for several days. Ho
is going to Atlanta on Tuesday , and there
he will meet Senator Jones of the demo
cratic national committee. The state com
mittee of both the democrats and the popu
lists will meet In Atlanta on the tame duv
and the question of fusion on the electoral
ticket will be discussed. U Is generally
accepted as a fact here lhat tht democrats
will make some sort of fusion proposition.
The democratic leaders say ti-ero Is no
necessity for It , and expect strenuous oppo
sition Inside the party. Wntson > close po
litical friends In Thomson are .ilroi In the
belief that unless the electoral tickets are
revised to suit him ' that his letter , now In
the possession of Chairman Butler , will go
to the public In Its original form. They are
also convinced that In this letter the nomi
nee has expressed his opinion In his own
vigorous and peculiar English of the fusion
arrangements now obtaining In Kansas , Cole ,
rado nnd North Carolina.

thusiastically. Mr. Bryr.n made a short ,
rlmplo address to the ncwuboys , advising
them earnestly as to the great value of char
acter In all of life's affairs and of respecting

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 18. On the last
rip of the Pacific coast steamship Orizaba up
be Gulf of California , the officers and crew
of the- vessel were nurprlscd to find ono ot
ho ports they make regularly wiped oft the
arth. When the ship reached the mouth of
he river Cnllacan , In the state of Slnaloa.
he llttlo mining town ot Altatn , which hud
stood there on the Orlzaba'n previous trip ,
was gone. Not a building was left standing
This was one of the results of the terrlblo
stcrm which played havoc on the mainland
coast of the. gulf September 17 and 18. The
Orizaba has Just brought the first details
which glvo a comprehensive Idea of the ox
en t ot the damage done. The Htorm was a
sort ot a composite affair , partaking of the
laturo ot a tidal ' \vavo and a cloudburst.
Torrents rushed down from the hills back
) f Altala and met the tidal wave carried
in frcm the sra and the town was
obliterated. Many of the mines located In-
and from the coast were flooded by the
cloudburst. Fortunately the loss ot life wag
slight , and the Altaians arc now camming In
cats or rudely constructed huts n little back
of where the town was. Viewing the former
slto of Altata from the gulf the meat strik
ing objects that meet the view are the Hpara
of the ships Comcta and Rebecca , and the
"Icrnmji barkcntlne , Helena , which wcro
jcacheil by the great wave.
At Mazatlan , further up the gulf , a most
remarkable result of the r.torm Is observed.
In the middle of the main street of Maz.itlan ,
uoro than a block from the water , nits a
schooner on even keel. She rode In on the
Idal wave , and when It receded was left high
and dry. Mazatlan took the storm fairly
veil , but much damage was done. Four
icrman barks that were so fortunate as to
> o well off land weathered the storm of the
gulf outside. They made port two days alter
ho fury of the elements had subsided minus
all their canvas. The San Vlnccnto mine ,
situated a mile to the rear of Mazatlan , was
Inoded to the surface by the cloudburst ,
So far as Altata Is concerned It Is no now
hlng for It to find Itself oft the map. Tilts
s the third time the town has been nwal-
owed up by the sea. Twice Iho place has
n rebuilt , each tlmo nt a point further up
bo Cullcan river. This time the roaldcnti
vlll build well In from the coast , It Is said.
