No cards. Vice President Wilson will occupy his old quarters at the Washington House. Senator Hamilton will contest the seat of Governor Whyte, who claims the United States Senatorship for Maryland, " America Arming," is the stunning first headline of the New York World of Friday. A great deal of popcock can be crowded into two words, by an expert. The Toledo Blade's liver is out of order. The Maumee Flats are not calculated to maintain a state of health such as is nccessaYy to good temper and cheerful views of things. Barrett of the Cincinnati Timcsdon't like the "broad circumflex with final upward slide" of Barrett the actor. Lawrence Sought to know better than to work, his circumflex like a trombone, in that manner. Sylvester Franklin Wilson issues a manifesto, on musky chocolate-colored note paper, dated Cincinnati, in which he proposes to put himself at the head of 10,000 men for the liberation of Cuba. Sylvester is' probably a hairdresser, and thinks he would make a big thing if he had a chance at the head of 10,000 men. The Dayton Journal is too numerous for us. It comes at us seven times in one number. The SpringSeld Republic tosses ua one, also. As the Republic goes for Bickham with both fists doubled up, and promises to "lick" him "out in the park," we calmly wait developments. If they come together they cannot fail to do us a service between them. . The Zanesville Courier says "The State Journal iB advocating the permanent location of the State Fair in that city. It will be observed, however, that the editor advocates the permanent location of the institution, on the condition that it is located at the capital." And where else should it be located, if not at the State capital ? Come, be candid, and admit that we have "natural advantages " as well as your old smoky burgh. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe writes "A Birds-Eye View of the West" for the Christian Union, based on the experience of her recent lecture tour. She gives the best mention to cities where the finest hotels were, with their best rooms at her disposal ; and she reserves her special aversion for cities with depots which are "visions of dirt and untold filthiness." Under these circumstances is is perhaps as well for us that she does not mention Columbus at all. The Lancaster Gazette says: "The State Journal publishes an elaborate report from the Secretary of the Board of Trade, which makes a big showing of the city's growth, business and prospects. Facts are given sufficient to show that the capital of Ohio is one of the most rapidly improving and prosperous cities of the country." The Uazette will have to draw it mild when it speaks of the prosperity of Columbus, or it will draw down the pop gun thunder of the Sunday News on itself. The Sunday News has a wise correspondent who claims that this city is over run with loafers, dead beats, and mechan ics out of work, who have been drawn here from distant cities by reading the Stats Journal's articles on the prosperity of Columbus 1 It is well known that the dead beats and starving people out of work in New York, Pittsburg, and so forth, keep full files of all the leading dallies throughout the Union. The New Yorker who is starving for want of money to buy food, always subscribes for the daily State Journal ($B a year, strictly in advance,) and if he finds note of prosperous city westward, immediately purshasnan eight cylinder press and a railroad ticket, and comes fcrre to grow np with the country. '--:',." j .vill)i'cl J)l!S IlaV .i il JdURNAliftiaatamtntfJhe naval forces of the United 8tt and 'Spain, showing that Spain racks next to Great Britain as a maritime power, While the United States naval, force is much, below that of either 6pain: or'Great Britain!. ,' Wnereupon the Statesman is moved to remark J'lftho above is .true, it; is a confession of weak neas from 1 a. strong Administration journal we should scarcely- ' have expected"! The- Statesman will soon learh, if" it' is' apt at " learning, that the State Journal, when it gives information, attempts togive it ac curately, and that partisan " confession! " as a substitute for faets have long ago gone out of date with respectable journals, Perhaps at the same time the Statesman may learn that it is contrary to the policy or this Government tp maintain a, large standing arm; and navy ; and that, in stead of being "outrageously criminal" nit to have an immensely expensive navy on hand, it is a proof of that wise economy which has always distinguished Republi can administration- of public 'affairs. If we go to war with Spain, and need a navy equal to that of Spain, we shall be able to rig one out within a reasonable time. It would be the height of folly for us to keep our navy on a war footing all the time, because an occasionalhalf-naturalized Irishman or rebel blockade run ner covers himself with the American flag and goes filibustering. ' No doubt such uneasy souls will go on plotting death and destruction to England, Spain, and other countries with which we are at peace; no doubt, when our fighting friends get into difficulty, whereby they become conquered instead of conqueror, they will continue bellowing for the Gov ernment to help them out of the scrape. But the American people will not care to keep the navy on a war footing, at an expense r of many millions a year, merely to protect enterprising gentlemen who repudiate their allegiance, enter foreign service, or simply make an adventure without the warrant or protection of any government, for their own private gain, at the expense of the lives and property of nations with which we are at peace. These persons sometimes go for wool and get shorn it is the fate of .the merry gentlemen' who decide the question of rights : with the sword. The American Nation will submit to no insult from Spain or any other Nation the Statesman may make itself easy on that score. But we may also be permitted to hope that our government will not play the fool and plunge us into reckless and expensive war, unless there is just ground for war. We hope and believe, also, that the President will remember what the Democratic papers in their war mania seem to have forgotten that it is "The Congress" which has "pow er to declare war" not the Executive. These bloodthirsty Democratic editors seem US think that the President should not only build a new navy without asking Congress for the money, but should really have had a navy on hand bigger than that of Spain, whether authorized by law or not ; and they demand that he shall take such navy, with or without Robeson as the case may be, declare war without waiting for Congress or the facts in the case and proceed at once to sink Cuba and blow all Spanish vessels out of the water-and do it all, not only " right on now," but week before last, romolion or Oenernl George Crook. It is not too Boon to judge, that no pro motion could have given more satisfaction throughout the country than that of George Crook, to be Brigadier General vice Philip St. George Cooke. It was more than safe to say, as we have from the beginning, that no promotion could be made that would gratify more Ohio soldiers, who knew Crook by personal service with his command. No confirmation of this was needed. As to the country in general, so far as the unanimous written opinions of the press may serve , guide, it is apparent now that no promotion during the war seems to have given more universal satisfaction. There is not only the negative approval which refrains from fault finding, but the positive approval, which shows itself actively and affirmatively. This newspaper judgment may not always be the best symptom of high military merit, but in the case of Crook it is evidently based upon knowledge of his career derived from military sources of the most reliable character. Grant, Sherman and Sheridan all had thorough personal knowledge of Crook's qualities, and they knew that for rapid, impetuous, dare devil fighting he had no superior in the army, whether as a cavalry or infantry officer; he had in combination with these and other high qualities, such capacity for organization and discipline as is rarely found in such irrepressible men of action. Every soldier who has ever served with Crook will be glad to join in a bumper To Brigadier General Oeorge Crook, after doing even more than the usual honors to the Commander-in-Chief, "in ample form," according to the custom of the service. The Postal Savlnge Bantt Nchetne. Special Dispatch to the New York Times. Washington, Nov. 13. The Postmas ter General expects to submit his com pleted report to the President, Saturday next. The report very fully enters into the details of the postal savings bank scheme, and there is little doubt that the f resident will recommend it. it is believed that all the Cabinet are unanimous in favor of the system. The following are some of the details : It is proposed at first to introduce the system only in what are called the Presidential offices that is, postofficea the salaries of which are $1000 and over. The entire system will be connected with the postal money order offices. One clerk will be detailed to receive and account for deposits. As each deposit is made a certification of de posit will be entered in a pass-book. The Genera) Office at Washington will be no tified of this deposit, and of the name of the depositor, after which a certificate of deposit will , ne torwardea - from Washington to the depositor as further guarantee. '' Deposits' may be witnarawn . ootn from tne omce where they were deposited and from any other within the general district, but no deposit can be drawn until a permit has been obtained from the General Office at Washington. This authorization of withdrawal has been found necessary by Great Britain and Canada to prevent fraud. One feature of the scheme is the establishment of several grand divisions,' to which the local offices shall reoort direct ly. All moneys received on deposit must be deposited within a stated time at the nearest national- depository. The Postmaster General is informed that the plan is very generally approved in ths West, ana ne nas recently received a communication from a prominent Eastern, banker, advocating the plan as a very efficient means to strengthen the credit of the Gov ernment, and preventing a national panic in time of crisis. The flow of currency into the Treasury at such times, from savings, would enable the Government to purchase its own bonds, and thAs relieve a stringency by keeping currency in circulation, . , ; ". THE ESTIMATES FOR THE NEXT FISCAL Two or three weeks aeo. there was con siderable discussion in the public press in regard to the probable amounts of the es-1 ti mates of the departments for the coming fiscal year. It may be remembered that it was stated in these dispatches that the estimates, including those regularly presented by the departments for the next fiscal year, and those to be separately made for deficiencies during the present year, would largely exceed the amounts which were asked from the last session of Congress. ' It was indicated at that time that the increased amount would probably be caused by several large deficiencies that Congress would be asked to supply. It is a fact, however, that the regular annual estimates, when the publication is authorized at the beginning of the session, will be found to be largely excess of the regular esti mates presented to Congress one vear ago. They will be largely in excess, indeed, of the estimates tor several vears, though the exact figures cannot be at present obtained, ana probably will not be accurately known to the country until the meeting of Congress. It ought to be remembered in connection with this statement, how ever, that the estimates were for the most part prepared before the beginning ot the present financial disturbances, and that a year of general and usual prosperity was expected at the time when the amonntg to be called for were determined upon, in view of the change in the financial pros pects of the country, there is no doubt that Congress will have the heartyco-operation of the officers who are chargeable with presenting the increased estimates, in attempts to reduce the expenditures of the Government, The Views or Senator Conklliigr. N. Y. Times, Nov, 13. Senator Boscoe Conkling was inter viewed last evening at the Fifth Avenue Hotel by a reporter of the Times, in reference to the news from Cuba. He said : For reasons that of course you will at once appreciate when you cousider my position as a Senator of the United States, I feel considerable reluctance in giving expression to mv opinion concerning that awful occurrence. . This, however, I am free to say, that the murder of the unfortunate men was an act which will send a shudder of horror through the world, and excite a feeling of disgust and indignation wherever- it is heard of.' " Reporter Can you conjecture what course the Government is likely to pur sue? Senator Conkling If the facts are as represented in the evening papers, I have not the least doubt that instant measures will be adopted to avenge the outraged honor of the country, and teach a lesson they will never forget to those who have dared to insult our flag. Those measures will be of a character that will involve not alone the fate of the insurrection in Cuba, but the whole future of the island. 1 speak advisedly, for, trom frequent conferences in regard to Cuban affairs, I be lieve I am thoroughly aware of what are certain to be the sentiments of th6 President and Secretary of State in regard to this affair..' The honor of the country will, I repeat, be vindicated, if on investigation it shall be found that an outrage has been committed on our Hag. But the matter will have to be investi gated calmly. There must be no clamor and no hysterics. At present all is in doubt and dispute. There are several points of vital importance involved in uncertainty. We do not know positively whether the Virginius was a United States vessel. It is asserted that she had obtained regular clearance papers from the United States uonsui, but ot that tncre is no evidence, and the papers, if she had them, may have been obtained by false and fraudulent representations. Again, we do not know as to whether or not sue had on board contraband of war, and the very place where her capture was effected is in doubt. For aught we know, she may have committed hostile acts in Spanish waters. All these matters are in doubt, and must be examined dispassionately before the country is committed to the last resort. The question concerns Great Britain as well as ourselves, as I hear that six British subjects were among the passengers of the ill-fated vessel. That the President will act, the moment tne real facts are ascertained, with all the vigor and promptitude the occasion demands is in my mind beyond a question. Senator Conkling further said that the murder of the Virginius passengers and crew might turn out to have been an act of recreancy to Spain, as well as an outrage upon this country, if the facts were as represented in the accounts published in the newspapers, as notuing was more probable than that the butchers in Havana had disregarded the orders of the Spanish authorities in Madrid in execut ing the prisoners. MareUek Cancel Another Kugnare- meni. Chioauo. Nov. 10. Max Maretzek last evening telegraphed his advance agent to withdraw the L,ucca Upera troupe lrom their engagement here, which was to have commenced to-morrow night. The alleged reason is that the sale of season tickets during the past week has not been large enough to warrant them in coming. The proprietor of the theater which had been engaged lor their use, states in a card that heoflered to take all risks of pecuniary loss to Msretzek by guaranteeing him or giving him $10,000 per week for the receipts, as he felt confident that the season would prove a successful one if properly msnsged. Ihe otter was not accented. and he now purposes collecting his rent from Maretzeic for the two weeks it was engaged, as having arranged to take his company out of town during this time, nis theater must remain i-iutu. The wives of the successful candidates for Parliament at the late special elections in Dover and Bath, England, greatly helped the results bv driving through the streets dressed in gaudy colors, inviting the voters to ride with them, and exhorting everybody to go to the polls and vote lor their men. - Twentysix weddings a day in Philadelphia are among the numerous signs of ap proaching winter.

Havana, via Ket West, Nor. 15.- The following account of the events at Santiago de Cuba has been received here: 1 On Friday, morning, the 7th: Ihirty- seven oi me crew pi tne -.virginius were brought on shore and taken to prison, to .email, ...cm uuui lueir execution, wnica was ordered for that afternoon. ' Captain Fry, a noble lookingold man, fully a head taller than the rest of the crew, when he met his men on the wharf 'previous to the march to the prison, saluted them all. The salute was returned 'with affection. At 4:45 Captain Fry and thirtysix men and officers were publicly Bhot, despite the protest of all competent foreign authorities. The marines were seven minutes killing the wretched prisoners. It seemed as if they would never finish. At last the sailors marched off and the troops filed past the long row of corpses. Then the dead carts were hurried up and loaded indiscriminately with the mangled remains.The American Consul has done all that could have been done. Indeed, it was threatened that his exequatur would be withdrawn for his exertions in behalf of the prisoners. In an interview with Gen. Burriel, that officer veiled at him and otherwise treated hiui disrespectfully. The British Consul also made an ineffec tual protest against the executions. It is reported that sixteen of the victims were British subjects. ACTIVITY AT THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD. New York, Nov. 16. About five thousand persons visited the Navy Yard yesterday, many ot them being in search of work, not taking into account those who went there tor purely personal mo tives. The officers of the yard say that at no time since the war has the general public evinced such interest in the affairs of the Navy Yard. No secret is made of the lact that orders have been received from Washington to prepare all availa ble vessels in the yard for active service as soon as possible, and well informed parties say orders have been issued to prepare tor sea at once every Buitable vessel in the United States Navy. The frigates Minnesota and Colorado, each carrying 50 guns, will be ready for sea within twentyuve days. THE SPANISH FRIGATE IN DRY DOCK. Captain Ransom does not believe' there is a vessel in our navy competent to con tend witn the Spanish trigate Aripita, but Deiieves mat one oi our monitors can eas ily putehot clear through her and disable her machinery. It is not true that orders have been received from the Navy De partment to stjp work on the Aripits. PUBLIC OPINION ABOUT THE OUTRAGE. At hotels and clubs the Cuban diffi culty and the complication almost cer tain to arise lrom it is the universal subject of conversation.. It is generally conceded that unless the Madrid Government consents to joint intervention in order to restore tranquillity in Cuba and punish the perpetrators of the recent outrage, war with Spain is inevitable. The majority are unanimous in expressing the belief that everything win be done to uphold the national reputation.The Secretary of War, who was in this city yesterday, is reported to have said to nn intimate triend who called on him. "You are aware that I have been considered somewhat bloodthirsty on tbis matter, out me entire uaninet are now ot my mind. At the Cabinet meeting held yesterday, we were a unit, and if the American people are not satisfied with the measures resolved upon at that meeting, to vindicate the National honor, they must be very hard to please." INTENDED CO-OPERATION WITH THE VIR GINIUS. Havana, Nov. 16. The Vose de Cuba says a conspiracy has been discovered in tloiRue ana me surrounding jurisdiction for a rising simultaneously with the landing of the Virginius expedition. The plot had extensive ramifications throughout the island, and was to nave been carried into execution on the first of November. Many persons have already been arrested, and arrests are daily increasing. The Vose hopes that the parties proved guilty of taking part in the conspiracy will be judged in accordance with the utmost se verity ot the law. A REGIMENT OFFERED FOR CUBAN SER VICE. St. Louis, Nov. 10. Colonel L. M. Safin, of this city, having telegraphed to Governor Woodson, proffering a regiment of infantry for service against Cuba, that gentleman lias replied as follows : " i wish 1 had the power at once to ac cept the services of your regiment, but we must aoiue oy me anion ot mereaerai authorities. Accept my thanks for tbis manifestation of energy and patriotism. and rest assured that when the time for action comes you will be remembered, and that time will soon come unless the Gov ernment is oblivious to the demands of patriotism, humanity and the voice of the people.

Daniels took the heat by two lengths. i Immediately alter the result ol this heat pool selling was resumed on an enormous scale. The pools were all selling on Stevens as the favorite, and True Blue as the third choice. The pools were taken steadily from $1500 to $3000. Pending the disposition of the second heat, the friends of Thad Stevens tallied promptly to his support and finally backed their opinion of his speed and endurance with coin. Tlie'impression prevail ed that the rider of Thad Stevens reined him in during- the entire run. and simply strove not to bedistanccd. The horse was in fine condition when he left the track and was applauded as vigorously as though the winner ot the heat. jMnnne Hall was completely blown. . ' SECOND HEAT. The horses were called for the second heat at 3:45. At five minutes to four another splendid start was made, the three horses taking the score neck and neck. Before reaching the half mile post Thad had pulled out ahead three lengths, True Blue following second, and at the hrst mile Thad had carried the score three length ahead, True Blue second, Daniels lagging five lengths behind. Second mile The relative positions of the horses were about the same, Thau Stevens gaining five yards, if anything, Third mile All the horses crossed the score in close company, Thad a neck ahead of True Blue, Daniels lagging on the flank. Fourth mile Thad and True Blue full neck and neck, Daniels crowding close. On the last half True Blue shoves ahead and opens a gap of five lengths, which he holds in crossing the score, Thad Stevens hve lengths in the rear. J. be old horse comes in wearied. True Blue takes the second heat of the race. Time 8:08. THIRD HE AT. The horses were called for the third heat at 4:30, and got off in good style at 4:35. AThad Stevens takes the lead again and pulls out handsomely, a couple lengths belore reaching the first quarter, True Blue second. Thad holds his own through the first mile, crosses the score two lengths ahead, True Blue moving neck to neck. Second mile A close run between the three. They cross the score in almost precisely the same relative positions as at the first mile. Third mile A repetition of the first and second. The wildest excitement prevails. They cross the score, Thad leading Daniels, lapping him on the flank, True Blue close and third. At the first quarter of the fourth mile Blue faints. The metal of the noble ani mal is exhausted. He falls behind and is speedily lost in the distance. Thad pulls out at his best and parts company with Daniels, crossing the score nearly ten lengths ahead. The excitement is tre mendous at this result. Deafening cheers ascend and the air is filled with flying hats. The race is now between Slevens and Daniels, the first great favorite in the great race having been distanced. Time, 7:07. After the conclusion of the third heat, intelligence was received from up the track that True Blue had broken his leg and was a ruined horse. He was lying disabled on the track about midway between the first quarter and half mile pole. The noble animal was removed from the track and the course cleared for the final heat of the great national contest, which now narrowed down, being single compe titions irom me &ast and weal. The miles of the third heat were made as follows: 2:03, 1:57, 1:55, 2:02. FOURTH HEAT. Twilight shades were descending when the horses were called for the final heat, making an aggregate run of sixteen miles. The horses made a capital start, but iliad Stevens shortly pulled about four lengths ahead, and was gaining steadily when the horses disappeared in the evening shall ows. First mile Thad passes the score thirty yards in advance. The crowd await anx iously tne reappearance. Second mile Thad has about the same advantage of his competitor. Third mile Thad crosses the score about the same distance in the lend, and dashes out on the last. The race is considered settled, and again the clatter of hoofs is heard down the home stretch, and Thad comes dashing through the mist thirty yards in advance, the winner of the great national $20,000 race. The enthusiasm was overwhelming. Time of fourth heat, 7:46. CONDITION OF TRUE BLUE. San Francisco. November 16. Mr. Chamberlain, owner of True Blue. says he believes the horse is permanently uisaDiea as a racer oy tne accident yesterday.
