Boston, Nov. 22.—K. A Pepry cablos to The Herald from London that the recall of Kaulbars from Bulgaria signifies not ft retreat, but a rapture by Russia. Htnfi: "Few anticipate interference from the power* so long ai Russia does nut prooeed to open violenbe. The situation is thus summed up by a distinguished diplomat: Austria will not interfere alone. If, however, she takes the nggrsadve, England will Join her, and Russia and France will naturally become allies. This would force Germany out of neutrality. Then Italy would take a hand against Bulla, and she would very likely turn the scale. What Tnrkey would do nobody can predict. A general European war under these circumstances would end In a congress, and that would come to a oompromise which would amount to nothing. A oompromise might be reached to satisfy Tfaigland, Russia and Turkey by settling the Turkish question, but not Italy, which would not give aid without receiving some advantage. Bismarck is most anxious to prevent a Russian alliance with France, and will do his utmost in order that it shall not be made. Aggressive Actios mm THE BUREAU OF NAVAL CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIRS Commits Mnrdar. After the Thirty-sixth congress was convened for its second session a committee of one from each state was appointed to consider that part o{ the presidents message referring to the ooMitton of the oountry. Mr. Adams represented Massachusetts. That committee reported resolutions disavowing the right of the free states to interfere with the institution of slavery in the slave states, and an amendment to the constitution fopbidding congress to interfere with slavery in those states. The resolutions and the amendment passed by large majorities. A bill reported by the committee to admit New Mea- Ico as a state, leaving its people to decide by ballot whether it should be free or not, was rejected by the bouse. Mr. Adams supported all three measures, and spoke in their favor in the house on Jan. 31, 1861. NO EFFORT AT DISPLAY AT THE BURIAL OF MR. ARTHUR. Chicago, Nov. 22.—Mrs. Emma Smith, aged 19, wan shot and instantly killed at her father's residence by Charles Grcgar, a dissipated young man employed as a bartender, who had unsuccessfully endeavored to Tome his attentions upon her. Mrs. Smith had quarreled with her husband, and been separated from him some weeks, but yesterday ha called on her and a reconciliation was effected. After he left the hoase Gregar, who had a room there, came in under the influence of liquor and began to make insulting remarks about the girl's husband. She rose to leave the room, when Gregar suddenly palled a revolver firm his pocket and fired at her. The ball entered her right breast, and death was inafctataneo&i. She did not even make an outcry. Thedranken asRswdn placed the smoldng pistol to his own temple and sent a ball into his brain.

The appropriation for last year of •1,000,000 for the general care and protection of the navy in the line of construction and repair was much too small and work in progress was delayed for want of naoessary funds. The same difficulty will be experienced this year to a greater extent, and so he asks for an additional appropriation of $810,000 to carry on the work without interruption for the remainder- of the fiscal year. Dead at a HI pa Oty Age, After a Long and Honorable Career—9k.teh of His lift as a Legislator, Congressman, Diplomat and Arbitrator. funeral of Chester A. Arthur. Notwithstanding the fact that the family was desirous of a private funeral, the gathering of notable men at the church was an exceptional one. The cards of invitation to the religious ceremonies were limited to 1,000. On the list of names of those to whom the invitations were sent are to be found men prominent in all the walks of life. When a short time after this, Mr. Dallas, the American minister to England, was recalled, Charles Francis Adams was appointed in his place. Mr. Adams reached London in May, and at once entered on his duties. The war had then begun. The mercantile and the ruling classes in Great Britain were either actively opposed to the north or Indifferent to the success of the fight for the Union. The work to which Mr. Adams addressed himself required not only the use of all his knowledge of affairs, but the exercise of the utmost tact, patienoe and judgment. That England did not recognize the southern confederacy is proof of his ability as a diplomat He returned to America in 1868, after a residence of seven years in England, having won the respect of every public man in Great Britain with whom he had been brought in contact, as well as their warm, personal regard. He returned at his own request D When the treaty of Washington, by which England and the United States agreed to leave the claiins growing out of the war to arbitration was Bigned, Mr. Adams was selected by Grant as the arbitrator for the United States. He sailed upon his mission in 1871 The result of the arbitration was the award of C18,000,000 to the United States. Boston, Nov. 23.—Charles Francis Adams died early yesterday morning at his home in Mt. Vernon street, this city. His death will be a matter of no surprise to any one who knows the history of the last few years of his life. For nearly a decade there has bean a gradual decay of mental and physical powers which only a remarkable vitality has been able to resist so long. The end, when it came, was simply the flickering out of the last spark of vital life which had been fading away so gradually that the change from day to day was not perceptible. The body of the dead ex-president was placed in the casket this morning, and no one except the family and most Intimate friends were allowed to look upon the face of the dead. Unless this additional amount is allowed It is more than likely that work In all or most of the navy yards will have to be nearly if not entirely suspended early in the spring, entailing a much greater expense in the end, in completing suspended work, than wqpld have been Incurred had sufficient funds been available to oontinue the work without interruption.WAS IT A MURDER T Germany is willing to light France single handed, and vice vena, but in • general war terminating in a compromise neither Is likely to gain an advantage, and both would exhaust their resources fruitlessly; hence France is no more willing than Germany to precipitate a general European war, and both will try to promote an arrangement. It looks now as if a Russian candidate would be elected prince of Bulgaria, And matteee in that disturbed province be settled by yielding to Russian rule, without interference from the power*. No one-except the inmates of the house and the twelve pallbearer* were admitted into the house this mortiing. Police arrangements had been mada to keep the avenue from Twenty-eighth to Twenty-ninth street clear until after the departure of the cortege from the house. Promptly at 8:30 the casket was placed in the hearse, and tile family and pallbearers entered carriages and drove up Lexington avenue to Forty-seventh street and through Fifth avenue to the church. A limn Mm on • Train Under Suspicions Diteoit, Mich., Nor. aa—Jl KL McDonnell, who died on a Wabash train going from Detroit to Chieago Wofnesday night, -was, it is believed here, a Pinksrton detective. While in Detroit he showed a friend a business oard of the Pinkerton agency and ■aid: "That's the business I'm in npw." When his body was taken from the train to the Chicago morgue it was found that his left arm was broken. Conductor B. W. Chapman says that at Auburn, Mr. McDonnell tors his clothing half off; that he certainly was not drunk and that he showed every indication of being drugged. At Albion, about 3 o'clock a. m. he was found to be dead. A murder has been committed, Conductor Chapman believes. He does not think it possible for a man to sit quietly In his seat with his arm broken as was Mr. McDonnell's, both bones being cracked between the elbow and shoulder, unless he was drugged. The steel cruisers Atlanta and Boston are at the Brooklyn naty yard, and the Chicago is still at Chester, where work on her is now being pushed rapidly toward completion. He asks for an. additional appropriation of $56,000 to complete theee vessels. It Is fully tea years, in the opinion of a member of Mr. Adams' family, since the waning of both mental and physical powers first manifested itself. The breaking down of his splendid intellect was somewhat more rapid than the gradual increase of physical feebleness, but for a long time only those intimately associated with the venerable statesman were able to detect the mental weak- Mai Indeed, until the very last Mr. Adams was a quiet, dignified gentleman, who simply took no interest iu what was going on about him. The intellectual collapse was, however, so complete that for two years he has been unable to recognise any of his family, except, perhaps, yis estimable wife. By force of custom, apparently, he would respond when addressed with the greetings of the day, but would soon relapse into silence. Nothing rquaed liim, except occasionally a burst of mirth in his presence, when he would join sympathetically in the general laugh. There were no offensive features of his infirmity whatever, the outward effect being simply complete reticence. All military or civic escort was declined, except the army and navy guard, which, had been ordered from Washington, were the only guard of honor. The regular army detachment, the naval officers and the marine corps remained in Fifth avenued, opposite the ch\irch, during the ceremonies. Mr. Wilson calls attention to the' recommendations made in his last annual report relative to the necessity for the government patting its navy yards in condition to meet any demand that might be made upon them in an emergency in the building of armored or unarmored ships of war. The greatest necessity, ha says, Is for having better docking faaillties in all oar navy yards. This is rendered more Important on account of the frequency with which the steel unsheathed vessels will require to be docked to Clean and paint their bottoms. In the event of a foreign war this great deficiency would be seriously felt, perhaps more so than any other of oar present wants. It is, therefore, worthy of grave consideration ANACRMI8T THREAT®. Secret Meetings Bald to be Held la Chicago, Nov. 31—The Sunday issue of The Chicago Freie Prease. in an article on "Chicago ahd Anarchitm," says that the Anarchists oat of jail are continulning their insane talk and agitation; that The Arbelter Zeitung every day contains invitations and calls of meetings of the "groups"' and the Lehr Cod Wehr Verin, a society that ha* been declared illegal by the highest oourts. "Monday evening," the article says, "In the hall on Clyboorn avenue a meeting of the north side 'group' of the International Working Peoples' association wm held, at which some of the old plana were again discussed. Some of the persons present thought that some stormy night, with % fair pounds of dynamite, the water tower oould be hlown up and flies started at sohas do sen different places. The water works dsstroyed the Ire department oould have no water; half the city would go up in a blase, and in the confusion thus caused the reorganised 'groups' and companies of the Lehr Und Wehr Verein oould easily capture the city. These plana read like a fairy tale, but they are nothing new." The religious ceremonies were of tha simplest kind. No address was made, and only the music of the hymns accompanying tha service for the dead were heard. The dissatisfaction with the administration of President Grant, which culminated iu the Liberal Republican movement of 1873, was helped along by Mr. Adams. He would probably have been the Liberal Republican candidate for president had not Horace Greely been nominated. The casket was taken from the catafalque and, followed by the pallbearers and family, placed in the hearse. The military escort in the lead, the quiet procession proceeded at once to the Grand Central depot, where a special train to convey the body and tha members of the family as well as the pallbearers to Albany, was in readiness. The train started at 10 o'clock. No reception of the remains was bald at Albany, but tha casket was taken immediately to the cemetery.'e Telephone War. BeTWAJJO, Nov. aa.—The trouble between the cMsens of Rochester and the telephone oompany of this city has culminated, and over 700 of the WO sabecrlbers to the telephone system have given up the use of their instruments. The general manager of the company, Mr. B. J. Hall, was seen by a reporter, and was asked if there were any new developments in the matter. Mr. Hall replied that there was nothing new; that the office in Rochester was running and would continue to ran for the use of the subscribers who still used their phones. When asked as to what the probable outcome of the difficulty would be he said: "I am not prepared to speak on that point TTiey have instituted a boycott, and I presume when they get tired of the inconveniences they are causing themselves they will be glad enough to resume their telephone sot vice. That is all I have to say." In the presidential campaign of 1870 Mr. Adams was not actively engaged. whether Immediate stops should not be taken to place our navy yards, in this respect, in the most thorough condition of effectiveness. Vhile other nations are increasing tfaair docking facilities, which is greater in one of the dock yards than in all of oars combined, we are doing nothing but theorizing. FLEECED BY BUNCO& Bow the Old Gentleman's Confidence On April 7,*1883, the public was shocked to learn that Mr. Adams had been made the victim of a bunco man. Mr. Adams was in the habit of walking every pleasant afternoon in the vicinity of his Beacon Hill itddence. James Fitzgerald, a steerer, noticed his ways, learned of his telling health, and on the pretense of being a son of an old Washington acquaintance, easily gained the old man's confidence. Checks aggregating about #18,000 were obtained from him by the usual process, Mr. Adams, according to the confession of Fitzgerald, acting all the time as if dared. The bunoo men, relying on the belief that the money would be paid rather than have the affair made public, were over bold, and were arrested, tried and convicted. was Abased. The list of pallbearers was as follows: Since he was made the victim of sharpers who took advantage of his weakness four years ago, Mr. Adams has always been accompanied by an attendant He has at no time been confined to his bed or room, but has taken gentle outdoor exercise, and often has enjoyed a drive in the city or at Qotacy. He was last out of doors about ten days ago, wbsn he cams, aooording to custom, home if Quincy to his.winter reafdence'in Boston. No apprehension of Immediate death was felt until Saturday afternoon.

All Sunday evening it was known that Judge Hoffman would open his court immediately after midnight, and in oonsequenoe there was a mighty throng waiting at the portals of the court house for an hour before midnight At Ave minutes after midnight the doors were opened, and in a few moments the room was packed to suffocation.

Frpmthis point to Trafalgar square the people who filled the windows of the private houses, hotels and government offices along the route greeted the procession with shouts of disapproval. When the Socialists passed the official residence in Downing street they gave vent to a storm of hisess and there were repeated cries of "Churchill I Churchill 1" accompanied by epithets of a most uncomplimentary character.

If, however, she takes the nggrsadve, England will Join her, and Russia and France will naturally become allies. This would force Germany out of neutrality. Then Italy would take a hand against Bulla, and she would very likely turn the scale. What Tnrkey would do nobody can predict. A general European war under these circumstances would end In a congress, and that would come to a oompromise which would amount to nothing. A oompromise might be reached to satisfy Tfaigland, Russia and Turkey by settling the Turkish question, but not Italy, which would not give aid without receiving some advantage. Bismarck is most anxious to prevent a Russian alliance with France, and will do his utmost in order that it shall not be made.

After the Thirty-sixth congress was convened for its second session a committee of one from each state was appointed to consider that part o{ the presidents message referring to the ooMitton of the oountry. Mr. Adams represented Massachusetts. That committee reported resolutions disavowing the right of the free states to interfere with the institution of slavery in the slave states, and an amendment to the constitution fopbidding congress to interfere with slavery in those states. The resolutions and the amendment passed by large majorities. A bill reported by the committee to admit New Mea- Ico as a state, leaving its people to decide by ballot whether it should be free or not, was rejected by the bouse. Mr. Adams supported all three measures, and spoke in their favor in the house on Jan. 31, 1861. NO EFFORT AT DISPLAY AT THE BURIAL OF MR. ARTHUR. Chicago, Nov. 22.—Mrs. Emma Smith, aged 19, wan shot and instantly killed at her father's residence by Charles Grcgar, a dissipated young man employed as a bartender, who had unsuccessfully endeavored to Tome his attentions upon her.

After he left the hoase Gregar, who had a room there, came in under the influence of liquor and began to make insulting remarks about the girl's husband.

The appropriation for last year of •1,000,000 for the general care and protection of the navy in the line of construction and repair was much too small and work in progress was delayed for want of naoessary funds. The same difficulty will be experienced this year to a greater extent, and so he asks for an additional appropriation of $810,000 to carry on the work without interruption for the remainder- of the fiscal year. Dead at a HI pa Oty Age, After a Long and Honorable Career—9k.teh of His lift as a Legislator, Congressman, Diplomat and Arbitrator. funeral of Chester A. Arthur. Notwithstanding the fact that the family was desirous of a private funeral, the gathering of notable men at the church was an exceptional one. The cards of invitation to the religious ceremonies were limited to 1,000. On the list of names of those to whom the invitations were sent are to be found men prominent in all the walks of life. When a short time after this, Mr. Dallas, the American minister to England, was recalled, Charles Francis Adams was appointed in his place. Mr. Adams reached London in May, and at once entered on his duties. The war had then begun. The mercantile and the ruling classes in Great Britain were either actively opposed to the north or Indifferent to the success of the fight for the Union. The work to which Mr. Adams addressed himself required not only the use of all his knowledge of affairs, but the exercise of the utmost tact, patienoe and judgment. That England did not recognize the southern confederacy is proof of his ability as a diplomat He returned to America in 1868, after a residence of seven years in England, having won the respect of every public man in Great Britain with whom he had been brought in contact, as well as their warm, personal regard. He returned at his own request D When the treaty of Washington, by which England and the United States agreed to leave the claiins growing out of the war to arbitration was Bigned, Mr. Adams was selected by Grant as the arbitrator for the United States. He sailed upon his mission in 1871 The result of the arbitration was the award of C18,000,000 to the United States. Boston, Nov. 23.—Charles Francis Adams died early yesterday morning at his home in Mt. Vernon street, this city. His death will be a matter of no surprise to any one who knows the history of the last few years of his life. For nearly a decade there has bean a gradual decay of mental and physical powers which only a remarkable vitality has been able to resist so long. The end, when it came, was simply the flickering out of the last spark of vital life which had been fading away so gradually that the change from day to day was not perceptible. The body of the dead ex-president was placed in the casket this morning, and no one except the family and most Intimate friends were allowed to look upon the face of the dead. Unless this additional amount is allowed It is more than likely that work In all or most of the navy yards will have to be nearly if not entirely suspended early in the spring, entailing a much greater expense in the end, in completing suspended work, than wqpld have been Incurred had sufficient funds been available to oontinue the work without interruption.WAS IT A MURDER T Germany is willing to light France single handed, and vice vena, but in • general war terminating in a compromise neither Is likely to gain an advantage, and both would exhaust their resources fruitlessly; hence France is no more willing than Germany to precipitate a general European war, and both will try to promote an arrangement. It looks now as if a Russian candidate would be elected prince of Bulgaria, And matteee in that disturbed province be settled by yielding to Russian rule, without interference from the power*. No one-except the inmates of the house and the twelve pallbearer* were admitted into the house this mortiing. Police arrangements had been mada to keep the avenue from Twenty-eighth to Twenty-ninth street clear until after the departure of the cortege from the house. Promptly at 8:30 the casket was placed in the hearse, and tile family and pallbearers entered carriages and drove up Lexington avenue to Forty-seventh street and through Fifth avenue to the church. A limn Mm on • Train Under Suspicions Diteoit, Mich., Nor. aa—Jl KL McDonnell, who died on a Wabash train going from Detroit to Chieago Wofnesday night, -was, it is believed here, a Pinksrton detective. While in Detroit he showed a friend a business oard of the Pinkerton agency and ■aid: "That's the business I'm in npw." When his body was taken from the train to the Chicago morgue it was found that his left arm was broken. Conductor B. W. Chapman says that at Auburn, Mr. McDonnell tors his clothing half off; that he certainly was not drunk and that he showed every indication of being drugged. At Albion, about 3 o'clock a. m. he was found to be dead. A murder has been committed, Conductor Chapman believes. He does not think it possible for a man to sit quietly In his seat with his arm broken as was Mr. McDonnell's, both bones being cracked between the elbow and shoulder, unless he was drugged. The steel cruisers Atlanta and Boston are at the Brooklyn naty yard, and the Chicago is still at Chester, where work on her is now being pushed rapidly toward completion. He asks for an. additional appropriation of $56,000 to complete theee vessels. It Is fully tea years, in the opinion of a member of Mr. Adams' family, since the waning of both mental and physical powers first manifested itself. The breaking down of his splendid intellect was somewhat more rapid than the gradual increase of physical feebleness, but for a long time only those intimately associated with the venerable statesman were able to detect the mental weak- Mai Indeed, until the very last Mr. Adams was a quiet, dignified gentleman, who simply took no interest iu what was going on about him. The intellectual collapse was, however, so complete that for two years he has been unable to recognise any of his family, except, perhaps, yis estimable wife. By force of custom, apparently, he would respond when addressed with the greetings of the day, but would soon relapse into silence. Nothing rquaed liim, except occasionally a burst of mirth in his presence, when he would join sympathetically in the general laugh. There were no offensive features of his infirmity whatever, the outward effect being simply complete reticence. All military or civic escort was declined, except the army and navy guard, which, had been ordered from Washington, were the only guard of honor. The regular army detachment, the naval officers and the marine corps remained in Fifth avenued, opposite the ch\irch, during the ceremonies. Mr. Wilson calls attention to the' recommendations made in his last annual report relative to the necessity for the government patting its navy yards in condition to meet any demand that might be made upon them in an emergency in the building of armored or unarmored ships of war. The greatest necessity, ha says, Is for having better docking faaillties in all oar navy yards. This is rendered more Important on account of the frequency with which the steel unsheathed vessels will require to be docked to Clean and paint their bottoms. In the event of a foreign war this great deficiency would be seriously felt, perhaps more so than any other of oar present wants. It is, therefore, worthy of grave consideration ANACRMI8T THREAT®. Secret Meetings Bald to be Held la Chicago, Nov. 31—The Sunday issue of The Chicago Freie Prease. in an article on "Chicago ahd Anarchitm," says that the Anarchists oat of jail are continulning their insane talk and agitation; that The Arbelter Zeitung every day contains invitations and calls of meetings of the "groups"' and the Lehr Cod Wehr Verin, a society that ha* been declared illegal by the highest oourts. "Monday evening," the article says, "In the hall on Clyboorn avenue a meeting of the north side 'group' of the International Working Peoples' association wm held, at which some of the old plana were again discussed. Some of the persons present thought that some stormy night, with % fair pounds of dynamite, the water tower oould be hlown up and flies started at sohas do sen different places. The water works dsstroyed the Ire department oould have no water; half the city would go up in a blase, and in the confusion thus caused the reorganised 'groups' and companies of the Lehr Und Wehr Verein oould easily capture the city. These plana read like a fairy tale, but they are nothing new." The religious ceremonies were of tha simplest kind. No address was made, and only the music of the hymns accompanying tha service for the dead were heard. The dissatisfaction with the administration of President Grant, which culminated iu the Liberal Republican movement of 1873, was helped along by Mr. Adams. He would probably have been the Liberal Republican candidate for president had not Horace Greely been nominated. The casket was taken from the catafalque and, followed by the pallbearers and family, placed in the hearse. The military escort in the lead, the quiet procession proceeded at once to the Grand Central depot, where a special train to convey the body and tha members of the family as well as the pallbearers to Albany, was in readiness. The train started at 10 o'clock. No reception of the remains was bald at Albany, but tha casket was taken immediately to the cemetery.'e Telephone War. BeTWAJJO, Nov. aa.—The trouble between the cMsens of Rochester and the telephone oompany of this city has culminated, and over 700 of the WO sabecrlbers to the telephone system have given up the use of their instruments. The general manager of the company, Mr. B. J. Hall, was seen by a reporter, and was asked if there were any new developments in the matter. Mr. Hall replied that there was nothing new; that the office in Rochester was running and would continue to ran for the use of the subscribers who still used their phones. When asked as to what the probable outcome of the difficulty would be he said: "I am not prepared to speak on that point TTiey have instituted a boycott, and I presume when they get tired of the inconveniences they are causing themselves they will be glad enough to resume their telephone sot vice. That is all I have to say." In the presidential campaign of 1870 Mr. Adams was not actively engaged. whether Immediate stops should not be taken to place our navy yards, in this respect, in the most thorough condition of effectiveness. Vhile other nations are increasing tfaair docking facilities, which is greater in one of the dock yards than in all of oars combined, we are doing nothing but theorizing. FLEECED BY BUNCO& Bow the Old Gentleman's Confidence On April 7,*1883, the public was shocked to learn that Mr. Adams had been made the victim of a bunco man. Mr. Adams was in the habit of walking every pleasant afternoon in the vicinity of his Beacon Hill itddence. James Fitzgerald, a steerer, noticed his ways, learned of his telling health, and on the pretense of being a son of an old Washington acquaintance, easily gained the old man's confidence. Checks aggregating about #18,000 were obtained from him by the usual process, Mr. Adams, according to the confession of Fitzgerald, acting all the time as if dared. The bunoo men, relying on the belief that the money would be paid rather than have the affair made public, were over bold, and were arrested, tried and convicted. was Abased. The list of pallbearers was as follows: Since he was made the victim of sharpers who took advantage of his weakness four years ago, Mr. Adams has always been accompanied by an attendant He has at no time been confined to his bed or room, but has taken gentle outdoor exercise, and often has enjoyed a drive in the city or at Qotacy.
