TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS. Naval Constructor Hobson was before naval bureau chiefs yesterday, and submitted cost of raising sunken Spanish warships. The Woman's Foreign Missionary society, in session at Indianapolis, has been presented with the Folts Mission institute at Herkimer, N. Y. The president has appointed John W. Lut of Ohio consul of the United States at Arrica. Chiler, and Edward E. Garrett receiver of public moneys at Boise, Ida. Hon. David Harpster, known throughout the country as one of the most extensive wool growers in Ohio. died at his home in Harpster. Wyondotte county, last night from dropsy. L. H. Fielding & Co., dealers in books. stationary, notions, fine art goods, of Kansas City, assigned, with liabilities of $90,000 and assets estimated at $120,000. Pressure by eastern creditors precipitated the assignment. George A. Steel and George A. Steel & Co., of Portland, Ore., have petitioned the United States court to be declared bank. rupts, and to be discharged from all indebtedness. The assets as given in the petition are $150,000, and the liabilities $411,000. The torpedo boat Farragut made a speed trial at San Francisco yesterday. She made several short, but very fast. races against time and attained better than a 30-knot speed. She will doubtless be given her government trial trip some time next week. Isaac Stetson, a hermit. was found dead in the woods near his home in the vicinity of Wahconah farm, Massachusetts. Friday, having probably been murdered. An autopsy showed that Stetson had been shot down and that death was instantaneous. He was worth $50,000. A business session that lasted all day wound up the week's convention at Omaha of the Women's National Council. A tussie with finance took up the most of the forenoon. It was decided to have the triennial last two weeks, to be held in Washington next spring, probably in April. A delegation of eight sailors from the American bark St. Katherine, which arrived at Seattle yesterday from New work, told harrowing story of maltreat. ment and abuse at the police station today. They wanted warrants for the arrest of Captain Edward Matthews and First Mate Dressel. One of the most unique meetings of the campaign was that of the deaf mutes called at Webster hall. New York, last night. About 300 deaf I and a sprinkling of others. gathered there to listen to political issues as expounded by the Democrats. Richard Croker was the attraction, and his speech to the mutes was translated. Colonel Roosevelt returned to New York yesterday afternoon, having finished his campaign tours through the state. He made two addresses tonight. one at Prohibition park, Staten Island, and one in Cooper Union. The Cooper Union meeting was held under the auspices of the Irish American union. Patrick Eagan, formerly minister to Chile, presided. Judge Simonton at Charleston, S. C., has made perpetual his injunction against railroad commissioners, restraining collection of war tax on messages sent in the state by telegraph companies. The Second National bank of Springfield, O., yesterday decided to go into liquidation. It is perfectly solvent and has a surplus of $120,000. but lack of business caused the semi-annual dividend to fall to 2 per cent. and the officers concluded to quit business. The capital stock was $200,000.
