to ransom Miss Stone, tho missionary, Ib
considered to ho suflkicnl reason for tho

The Idea Is to Impress upon ih people of

Miss Stono. Tho second appeal follows:

the effect th.it It was absolutely necessiry
to rulse tho full amount at unco. The sloty

The public ahoilld not bo deceived by the
Idea that tho American board, as such, will

LONDON, Oct. 11. Tho United States
minister here, says a Constantinople dis
patch to tho Dally Telegraph, has received
Information, which Uo withholds, of unex
pected developments In tho Stono affair. On
Tuesday It was supposed an attempt would
be made to capture tho band, but nothing
has been heard since Monday, when Mr,
Haskell reached Samakoff. Ho Is not pro
vided with funds, but has boon empowered
to arronge tho lowest terms. The Attempts
to capture tho band havo made tho brigands
any of futiiro traps, thus rendering negotia
tions difficult. 8uch tactics aro severely
criticised bero. Tho brigands may in re
venge kill their captive. Moreover, the fact
that no tnonoy wos produced on tho first de
mand may cnuao tho brigands to mutilate
Miss Btonu as a warning.

The republican city primaries yesterday
wcro comparatively tame, contests occurlnc
only In tho Fourth, Seventh and Eighth
wards and oven In these wards the vote was
extremely light. The only Issues involved
were tho relative aspirations of the differ
ent candidates for school board nominations
nnd these having been settled a comblna-
ton of five of the successful delegations
will doubtless bo effected during the day,
making the work of the convention largely
n the nature of a ratification. The candl-
latcs so far mentioned aro Dr. Louis Swo-
boda ot the Second, George T. Nlcholsou ot
the Fourth, W. B. Christie of tho Fifth. W.
R. Homan of the Sixth, F. O. Davie of tho
Seventh and S. II. Mann of tho Eighth. It Is
possible other names may also bo pre
sented.
Under tho call the convention will also
nominate a cnndldato for police Judgo. As
Louis Bcrka has nlready been nominated
for that position by tho county convention
his name alono will bo mentioned In tho
convention this evening.
In the Seventh ward the result was a
mixed delegation, of which six were on tho
ticket favorable to the nomination of F.
G. Davlc and four on the Bates ticket.
Tickets Get Mixed.
Early In tho day it was seen that there
was a combination which tho general public
did not understand. Active workers for the
Bates ticket began "booming" two of tho
men on the Davie delegation, while mn
who were out for tho Davie ticket worked
for two men on the Bates delegation. Of
thn tour men thus Involved in tho cross
Ore, threo were elected, one of tho two on
the Davie delegation receiving less votes
than any other candidate on that ticket,
Of the straight votes tho Davlc delegation
received 113 and tho Bates delegation 110,
with Iwenty-tbreo scratched tickets. It is
understood that tho delegation will be solid
for Davlo, tho minority bowing to tho will
of the majority.
In the Eighth ward tho result was a com
plotc victory for tho Mann ticket, tho on
tiro delegation being elected by majorities
ranging from 12 to 26. Of tho straight votes
tho Mann delegation received 136, the Foster
delegation 119, with 23 scratches. Tho
scratched tickets wore on tho whole favor
able to the Mann delegation.
In tho Fourth wnrd there wcro "03 votes
cast and tho Sudborough-Nlcholson dele
ration was elected by majorities ranging
from 10 to 30. This delegation Is labeled
for George T. Nicholson for tho Board of
Education.
There wcro no other contests in tho city,
but thero was a little flurry in the Fifth
ward, where one of (ho delegates was un
derstood to havo' abetted a plan to scratch
certain other dotcgates. Thero was somo
scratching done, but It resulted in a greatly
reduced voto' for Hugh Myers, who sug
gestcd tho Idea.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. In his nnuual
report to tho secretary of tho navy, Rear
Admiral Crownlnshlcld, chief of the con-
tructum bureau, repeals tho warning to con
gress of the absolutely Imperatlvo need ot
the navy for more ofllcers and men. Now ho
adds somo startling tlgurcs to support his
mowed recommendations, Ilo says If tho
lepartmcnt wuh called upon to man the
ships for war service It could not meet
the demand. Thero aro ni enough lino
officers to man tho ships li 'dy con
structed. When, In thn next thre years tha
vessels now under construction shall havn
been completed, the number of ofllcers
necessary to man them and a few auxiliary
vessels will be no less than 1,000 and thn
problem presented will bo how these can
bo secured. At tbo presont rnto tho line of
the navy under tho personnel net and as
fed from Annapolis Is Increasing only at
tho .rate of 10 per year In number (fortv
oflicri-B bolng retired arbitrarily each year).
which would make thirty for three years.
According to Admiral Crownlnshleld tho onlv
remedy Is to Increase tho number of cadeto
to not less than 800. It Is recommended
that beginning with next congress thero
shall be allowed at tho academy two naval
cRdcts for every representative or dele
gate, two for each senator, ono for tho
District of Columbia and ton at largo an-
nually, and that tho course bo limited to
four years. Another striking recommenda
tion of Admiral Crownlnshleld under tho
head of personnel is that four vice ad
mirals be created, reducing tho number ot
rear admirals to fourteen If necessary. It
Is sold that tho United States has often
been placed In a humiliating position on im
portant occasions abroad on account of tho
low rank of Its naval representatives. Tho
report makes an earnest representation for
a national reserve.
For Trntiiltiir Ships,
The report also mentions the reduction
made In the last year In tho strength ot
tho Asiatic fleet, which was called on to
furnish two vessels to re-establish the
European station, and ill be further ye
dticcd to permit the commissioning of at
least two training ships and an Increase ot
tho North Atlantic squadron by two gun
boats nnd of tho Pacific squadron by pos
sibly one. It Is desirable to have somo
small ships for gulf service on the At
lantic side. It Is said tbo oporatlons ot
tho Atlantic station wero marked by suc
cess and tho condition ot our sailors and
marines In China was all that could bo
asked. The American fleet, In conjunction
with tho army In tho Philippines, has ham
pered the Inflow of arms nnd munitions lo
tho Islands.
A now system of recruiting the navy wan
adopted, recruiting olllcers going to differ
ent parts of the country instcud ot waiting
until tho men presented themselves nt re
cruiting ships. Tho system is said to have
been nn undoubted success.
Much time Is devoted to gunnery train
ing and, tbo report says, the departmout
Is about to undertake a long-cherished
project and establish two gunnery training
ships on the Astatic station. Tho depart
ment la about to follow up the precedent
observed last year In the establishment
of a torpedo reserve station at Norfolk by
establishing four other stations nt Port
Royal, Charleston, Pcnsacola and a scVond
ono nt Norfolk.
rroposes lliirravlca Instead of .Ships.
Admiral Crownlnshleld declnres that tho
time has como wbon, In tho Interest of tbo
sailors, of their correct drilling, ot their
comfort and of economy tho United States
should follow tho example of every first-
class nation and provide barracks Instead
of receiving ships. It Is figured tho gov
ernment would nave annually by this courso
nearly $150,000, or tho Interest on twice tho
sum required to provide hurracks for 6,000
men, II Is recommended thai congress ap
propriate for such barracks nt New York
$800,000, and for League Island and Mare
Island 1(00,000 each.
Sailors wero enlisted during tho year to
tho number ot 9,890, making the total num
ber of men In service 18,825. From this
numbor thoro wero 3,168 desertions.
Tho beginning of a general staff of tho
navy is foreshadowed in a transmitted
recommendation of Captain Slgsbeo, the
chief of the Intelligence office, looking to
a combination ln tho department of the
work of the general board, the war collegn
and the officer of naval Intelligence to
begin systematically general staff work.
Touching the naval academy, tho report
Indorsed tho supsiintendent's recommenda
tion that no cadet under 15 or over 18
years bo admitted, and that the courso bs
for threo years and thnt a 3,000-ton prac
tice ship ho provided. Six civilian instruc
tors to tako tho placo of tho line officers
aro recommended.
In connection with the navnl training
stations, It Is recommended that $160,000
bn appropriated to lit out the historic Con
stitution nt Newport for a training ship
nnd small hrlgs of 150 to 200 tons bo built
for Newport and San Francisco stations.
