S. Gov't Report THE NEW BRIDGE ARDN'S SPEECH 2 PliTTJ FISH. Tlis Third Ward publican Club Das lis Annual was to take a squadron of evolution from the Brooklyn' Navy Yard and show foreign countries that the United States was practicing fleet movements, and about ta learn how to manipulate In squadrons the magnificent new vessels that she building. There were when the plan was first formulated to be twelve vessels in the squadron, and later on the number was reduced to eight. These evolutions were to have taken place In the first week of August.

The fleet lost the Cincinnati and the Atlanta, which were assigned to duty In Cuban waters, and the Indiana battleship did not become available, so there was delay. Secretary Herbert went to Newport with the Dolphin and the fleet accompanied him. For some time navy officers en-Joyed the gaiety of that place and the fleet is still there. August is nearly passed, and navy officers have been attending to 'society rather than to their official duties. Progressive and zealous officers of the navy have had to yield to the society demands of the Secretary, while two vessels are in Europe and three In the South Atlantic, where none of them are needed, and the Navy Department says there is not a sufficient number of ships to practice fleet maneuvers.

Instead of learning something of the art of naval War and becoming familiar with the new engines of destruction that their vessels carry, the fleet Is to go to make a show at the meeting of the Templars In Boston, and thence to Bar Harbor to enjoy social affairs there. For this mismanagement the Navy Department Is culpable, and the time may" come when our ships are engaged In active service that regrets, unfortunately, too late, will come when lack of practice will put our navy at a disadvantage at a time when all skill and all practice will be necessary to achieve victory. Though It seems as If by maintaining the reserve until tho first of October the syndicate would be throwing away a business opportunity of securing more bonds under the option they have until October first, it is not improbable that they v. ill maintain the reserve until that time. This could be done without loss, for the syndicate could probably secure the next issue of bonds even if It were made after October first.

It practically controls all those bankers and capitalists who could enter into a combination to purchase bonds, for by creating the Impression that it has preserved the Treasury, It can prevent the howl that would naturally follow if, after having secured sixty millions of bonds on such advantageous terms, it had deliberately depleted the reserve to force another issue, and thus secured additional profits from another issue of bonds. mm RIGHTS ON THE BEACHES. A TEST OF THE FENCE QUESTION ON CONEY ISLAND PROMISED. R. S.

Alexander, an attache of the United States Naval office in New York City, proposes to test the right of Austin Corbin's Company to fence off any portion of the beach at Coney Island, so as to prevent people from walking on the beach between the Brighton and the Manhattan Beach hotels, and to compel them to patronize the Marine Railway. Mr. Alexander recently started to walk the entire length of the beach from West Brighton, but was stopped at the Marine Railway terminus by a guard that would not allow him to walk on the proffer of the regular amount of fare on the railway. Mr. Alexander holds that the the Federal Government has the only absolute right to the shore, and that private owners can only fence as far as the beach.

He intends to carry the matter into the courts. Mr. Corbin claims that bis company has a full right to do what it pleases with the beach in front of Its property. THEY DANCED IN COURT.

The Commissioners disposed of the matter by adopting: ths resolution which follows: "Resolved, That this Commission decide not to accept any of the propositions made by the East River Bridge Company for the sale of their charter, and that our engineer is hereby Instructed to survey a new line for the construction of a bridge between the cities of New York and Brooklyn and report to this Board." Chief Engineer L. L. Buck, It Is said, has already suggested a line which will be independent of that of the East River Bridge Company.

hi ter the meeting Mr. Sperry said that this was an entirely independent action on the part of the Commission and its engineer. "Our counsel," he said, "have established for us the validity of the charters of the East River Bridge Company, and we are therefore compelled to go ahead on entirely different lines that will not conflict with the rights of the company which they have acquired under their charter."

15. Catholio Benevolent Legion, have reason to congratulate themselves upon the splendid success that attended the Council's thirteenth annual reception at Feltman's Pavilion, Coney Island, yesterday afternoon and evening. In the afternoon the younger' element disported themselves in games, but in the evening the "light, fantastic toe" took possession of both the Ocean and Central pavilions, and an enjoyable programme of dances whiled the hours away a delightful manner. A feature that was hugely enjoyed was the reel and jig dancing in the Central pavilion, over which a genius wi.h a bagpipe and a characteristic "far down" fiddle presided. To have called his instrument a violin would have given offense.

Hundreds of folks danced themselves tired to the mus of both, the parents of the young people largely predominating. The Messrs. McKeen and McGowan and Mesdames Quinn and Kennedy were the prize jig dancers, and Mrs. George A. Lannagan carried off a trophy for style and execution in reel dancing.

The march in the Oean Pavilion was led by Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. foljwedbygome 500 couples, while, as a. ed the thirteenth anniversary of the council, was one of the most enjoyable in its annals.

IN THE WRECK.

Eleven Dead Indians Found in the Schooner Walter Earle. THE VESSEL WAS CAPSIZED DURING A TERRIFIC GALE IN APRIL LAST. BUT HAS ONLY RECENTLY BEEN DISCOVERED STORY OF THE CATASTROPHE. Seattle, Aug. 22.

Capt. Higgins, of the steamer Excelsior, which arrived yesterday direct from St. Michaels and Unalaska, brings news of the wreck of the sealing schooner, Walter Earle, of Victoria. Eleven dead Indians were found heaped together in the forecastle. The wreck was sighted, and picked up by the steamer Francis Cutting, from Seattle to Kodiak, about the middle of July.

The Earle was capsized on or about April 14, during a terrific gale off Kodiak Island, and though a number of craft and steameVs were reported to bava gone in aserch of her, none of them found her until) the Cutting ran across her drifting with the swells and tides. She was bottom up, and there was nothing about her to indicate that she had ever been sighted by passing vessels, or that any of the ill-fated crew had made any attempt to struggle to her upturned bottom in hope of prolonging life after she went over. Her rudder was gone, and this to the practiced eye of the mariner, told the story of the wreck as well as words would have done. Losing her rudder during a fearful gale that is known to have swept across that part of the ocean at that time, the vessel drifted helplessly in the raging sea until she suddenly went over and carried all on board with her. Not until the wreck was towed to K-diak and she was righted, did the full story of the catastrophe break on the finders.

In the forecastle were found the corpses of eleven Indian sailors. They were removed ashore, and interred on the island. No white man's remains were found in the vessel, and the story of the struggle and drowning of Capt. Louis Magneson. her skipper, and seven white men will never be told.

They occupied the cabin, and are believed to have been swept from the deck of the schooner and drowned during the gale, while the Indian sailors were huddled helplessly in the forecastle until she went over. None of the schooner's boats was about, and almost everything had been swept away and was gone when she was picked up. The Earle was formerly the Sylvia Handa, of San Francisco. OSCAR WILDL'S FINANCES. A STATEMENT SHOWING HIM TO BE INSOLVENT.

London. Aug. 22. A statement of the condition of Oscar Wilde's finances which has just been issued shows his liabilities to be 3,591. with no available assets.

Wilde's income has averaged 2,000 a year, chiefly derived from his literary and dramatic work. He has been insolvent two years, his expenditures having greatly exceeded his income. IS DELISLE INSANE?

FOR MISSIONS. Annual Meeting of the American Board to Be Held Here. THE REV. R. S.

STORRS OF THIS CITY IS PRESIDENT THE SESSION WILL BE HELD OCT. 15-18 CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE FALLEN OFF, The annual meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions will be held in the Academy of Music in this city, beginning on Oct. 15, and ending on Oct. 18. The Rev.

Dr. Richard S. Storrs, pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims, is president of the Board, having been re-elected last yenr. when rhe annual meeting was hold in Madison, Wis. It la many years since the Beard, held its annual meeting In this city, and it is the hope of Dr.

Storrs that one of the results of the coming session will be" to stimulate the missionary spirit of the Congregational churches here and on Long Island, as well as in New York City. The missionary contributions from the Brooklyn the New York and the Long Island churches fell off from $23,091 In 1894 to $23,973 this year. Of the total of $34,315 contributed to the Board during the fiscal yearof 1894-5, by all the Congregational churches in New York State, $23,973 was contributed by those churches situated In New York City, Brooklyn ant Long Island. Fully $16,666 of the $23,973 came from the Brooklyn churches, $6,224 from New York City churches, and $1,083 from the Long Island churches. The previous year's contributions show $18,778 from the churches in Kings County; $8,443 from New York City churches, and $870 from Queens and Suffolk counties.

There are nineteen Congregational churches in this city, and the same number in other parts of Long Island. In 1894 the Long Island churches outside of this city had a total membership of 2.504, and this year the total In 2,748. These churches Increased their contributions for foreign missions from $870 in 1894 to this year. The falling off in foreign missionary contributions of the Brooklyn Congregational churches for 1895 was $812, and the net falling off in the thirty-eight churches on Long Island, Including this city, is therefore only $599, showing that by far the greater proportion of the loss for the year Was in New York City.

Y. S-14-4-I ON THE BEACH AT CANARSIE. A BIG GATHERING OF THE HARD WORKERS IN THE RANKS PLENTY OP FUN FOLLOWED BY SPEECHES FROM HUGO HIRSH, SHERIFF BUTTLING, COOMBS, M. J. DADY, JOHN H.

KEMBLE, 'WILLIAM SUTCLIFFE, WARREN C. TREDWELL GENERAL GOOD TIME. The Third Ward Republican Club fish dinner at Canarsie is one of the events of the season. Its annual recurrence Is one of the delightful episodes of the Third warder's life, and it never falls his best anticipations. Last night was no exception to the usual happy time, and all those that participated will long remember the joyful occasion.

Those who reached Canarsie at an earlier hour in the afternoon indulged in bowling matches and baseball games, and In listening to the music of the park' band. The larger part of the club and guests did not arrive, however, until evening, and then it became an impressive gathering. The club is one of the old Republican stand-bys of Brooklyn. It has passed through many vicissitudes and many campaigns, but It carries its banner hig.i under all circumstances, and nghrs its battles out under the old war cry of "Nil Desperandum." and it delivers vigorous blows when in the contest. But at these fish dinners It not go into politics to a very alarming extent.

It indulges in biuefish, eels, green corn, succoiasn ana conee, io nmn.cu extent; not enough to do It any serious harm, and it tapers off on very excellent cigars. Then when the speeches come off. though they necessarily run in the political gamut! it is in a pleasant vein. The stalwarts of the Third ward were there in force, and so were many of the stalwarts from other sections of the city, and there were officeholders and candidates for office, so that there could be no complaint about the company being one- sided. Altogether it was a representa- 1 tion of hard-working Republicans, the class of men who are active and who work in a storm with the same good will that they do in sunshine.

They are not featherbed Republicans, not one of them. Last night after the fish had been done justice to, Chairman Guden called the assemblage order, and Counselor Hugo Hirsh made a pretty congratulatory speech. He was followed by Sheriff Buttling, who in brief, but emphatic terms, demanded Republican candidates from Republican conventions, expressing the belief that Republicans could win with a clean Republican ticket. Dr. Edward Coombs made a happy little address, and introduced the next Mayor, William Sut-cliffe, of the Third ward.

Mr. Sutcliffe outlined his Mayoralty policy very forcibly. M. J. Dady.who had been a good listener to the other speakers, gave free rein to his ideas of the policy of thorough Republicans for office; no Mugwumpery.

and a seild and united front. He said be believed that with first-class candidates next fali the Republican party was assured of victory. Counselor John S. Kemble. Secretary Warren C.

Tredwell, Supervisor Dahl. P. H. McArdle and rveral others made short addresses. All the speakers of the evening were handsomeiy applauded.

There have been sensational publications in regard to the accounts of Mr. Spofford. the Librarian, of Congress, which might lead to the belief that ne had been dishonest, but for that there is no ground whatsoever.

His account are Involved and confused, which Is caused by the fact that he Is not a business man, as the Treasury's investigation must prove. Subordinate Treasury officials who harp on technicalities and. seek to be, praised fori zeal in 'for the Government's1 interest, have accepted the opportunity offered in Mr. EpofCord's. case and made the -moBt of K.

(In several instances Mr. Spofford has madethe salary intended' for one man do for two. This' was technically Illegal, but was economical, and as it is unusual for Government officials to have regard for the people's money, he Is criticised for this. There may be some discrepancy in Mr. SprfKfc-d'sj account, but those who know hifa wKl believe that he Is an honest certainly one who has famous.
