Third Assistant Postmaster General Barver estimates the consumption of postal cards for the present fiscal year at 329,000, 600, Tois estimates he thinks is warranted by the Increase (18.15 percent.) of the last fiscal year which ended June 30, 1574. THE BLACK HIL1s.—In reply toan inquiry of General Geo. Crook as to what should be done with the miners already in the Black Hills country, and those hereafter found therein, the President directs him “to issue necessary orders to continne to keep people from going to the Black Hills, at least until the result of the labor of the commission to treat with the Indians is known.” JAPANESE CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONERS, The Japanese minister in this eity informs the Secretary of State that two of the persons recently sppointeld by Japan as comm sioners to represent the interests of that country at the Centennia] Exhibition have arrived in Washington, ahd he requests that they may be put in communication with the proper officials of the exhibition. CLERICAL Promotions.—The following promotions have just been made in the Pat- ent Office :—Edward D. Bo of Texas ni Thomas C. Tipton, of Nebraska, to be second assistant examiners, and Wm. H.

He submitted the unanimous report of a commission, compose. of seven prominent local arehitects, ay pointed by the city council to examine Structure and report as to its safety. This report says that the foundations of the bunld- jog are firm and in safe condition, and the Walls as level as in any building of such a size. A small part of the stone is imperiect and can be replaced at a small cost, but the material used generally 1s sound and good. The report contraticts in detail the one made y the commission appointed by Seer -tary bristow some weeks ago, and the local eom- mission assert that. as they have had much + xperience in building on Chicago soll, th sic better qualified to judge as to the'sec ty of the bu g than the Treasury com- mission. ARMY ORDERS.—On the recommendation of the board of commissioners of the Sol- rs’ Home, Captain Tally McCala is r ieved at own, request as deputy gover nor of the Solidi ors’ Home, and ordered to re- port to the adjutant general of the army for orders. Second Lieutenant D. 8. Denison, Sth artillery, is relieved from duty at the L S. Military Academy, Wesi Point, to i effect August ¢sth next, and ordercd to join his proper station. Assistant Surgeon f° Ainsworth is relieved from duty at the U Military Academy, West Point, and « to report by letter to the Surgeon neral, First Lieutenant James Ulio, 2d infantry, acting assistant quartermasier, having re- lieved Second Lieutenant Charles R. Tyler, Ieth infantry, as acting assistant quarter- master at Chattanooga, Tenn., is ordered also to relieve him of the charge of the na- Uonal cemeteries at Chattanooga and Knox- ville. THE ALLEGED FRAUDS AT RED CLoup AGENCY—Specifie Charges by Prof. Marsh — Prof. Marsh, of Yale College, has written a letter to President Grant in relation to the all i frauds at the Red Cloud agency. He declares he has no confidence in the sincerity of jhe Secretary of the Interior or the com- missioner of Indian affairs in proseeuting the Investigation into these frauds, and tl the evidence in his possession reflects un vorably on both. The following are amon the charges made by Prof. Marsh: 1. Agent J.J. Saville is totally unfitted for his posi- tion, and guilty of gross frauds upon the In- dians in his charge. 2. The number of In- dians at this agency has been sysiematically overstated for purposes which can only re- sultin fraud. 3. The last issue of annuity goods which I wituessed was a suspicious transaction, and in part, at least, frandale 4. The beef cattle given to the Indians ha been very inferior, owing to systematic frauds practiced by the agents and beef con- tractors. 5. The pork issued to the Indians during my visit was not suitable food. 6. The flour was very dence of fraud in this article is conciusiy 7. The sugar and coffee were not good, though better than other supplies. 8 The tobacco I observed was rotten and of little or no use to the Indians. 9. In consequence of fraud and mismanagement the Indians suffered greatly during the past winter for want of fool ana clothing. 10. The contract for freight from Cheyenne to the Red Cloud ageney was frau- delent. as the true distance is 145 mile: while the contractor was patd for 212 mile: THE BAKER STaTUE—The following let- ler was received today by our townsman, Col.

ARRIVAL OF MEGRUE AND FISHBACK. There were two distinguished arrivals in Wasbington last night; one was Con. G. Me- grue, of &t. Louis, and the other was George | W. Fishback, formerly editor and proprietor of the St. Louis Democrat. The first visitor make; his headquarters at No. 1011 K street, aud the second-pamed at one of our hotels, THE OBJECT OF FISHBACK’S VISIT. While seeking that repose which the pine lands of Michigan invites, Mr. Fishback read in the Washington telegrams of the Chicago Tribune an account of his alleged connection with the whisky frands, (stolen 48 usual, as with other fresh news from THE STAR, withontcredit.) Whether the reading carried conviction to his heart, is a problem which his conscience can solve; but it cer- tainly did arouse his wrath. He dropped for the nonce the fishing rot and tackle, let the bass go to the dogs, and came in hot haste to the city to vindicate himself. His first. im- pulse was to demand an expianation from this correspondent of the Chicazo Triune, out upon being assured by his ariends that itwas a reproduction of STAR matter he dropped all efforts in that direction, THE M'KEE & HOUSER-FISHBACK CON- ACT. TRACT. Mr. Fishback states that the publication concerning his reported complicity with the ring is incorrect. In one particular it is and it is as to the manner the covenant was given nblicity. It appears as allezed that after Fishback returned to St. Louis he catled on McKee and Houser of the Globe, and_the negotiations (as heretofore printol in THE STAR) were inaugurated for the sale of the “Democrat. The first movement was to draw up a compact binding one with the other, that neither of the parties to the transaction should at any time divulge the reasons for the sale or any conversations incident to it. It was further agreed that Col. Bowman, of St. Louis, should be present at all confer ences, and in cases of dispute act as referee, and in addition was to be the custodian of all the papers affecting the sale as well the written compact. BOWMAN LEFT OUT IN THE COLD. Matters progressed satisfactorily up to/a given point, and Bowman participated in the negotiations for the sale of the Demoers’. Just as he thought “things were deal to rights,” he was ignored in further confer- ences, and the sale was consummated with- out his knowledge. When it was announeed editorially In one of the papers that Mekee & Houser had bonzht, he called on both that firm and Mr. Fishback fora settiement. His demand was for legal fees, which he clatmet was earned by him while acting as referee. This payment was resisted because the con- tracting parties to the sale avowed that it had ultimately been bronght about without 1 s assistance, and he had no real claim. rts for a settioment failed, and finally » believing that the sale hail ipitated by the movement against ring. had his suspicions aroused bh MeKee and Houser and Fishback yed the mones of the whisky men to bring abont the consolidation of the pap-rs. Accordingly he ian interview with Mr. Walcott, editor of the St. Louis Journal. He related to him his suspicions, but theeditor was loth to believe that his co-workers in the journalistic field had been corrupted. To eenfirm the doubt of the etitor he placed in his hands for such use as _he deemed proper the written compact. Mr. Walcott. as hereto- fore related in STAR, brought the copy Vashington, on the third or fourth of owed It to Secretary Bristow. It was others in the city. MR. FISHRACK’S STATEMENT. Mr. Fisback’s friends do not deny that there was and is still in existence a written compact between himself and McKee and Houser. ‘hey, however, assert that the negotiations between them were of long standing, and ante-dated, even the time that Secretary Bristow became suspicious of heavy frauds in whisky in the west. Un- fortunately in this respect, however, the date of the contract does not quite bear this out. It is dated April 16th of the present year. just ashort time prior to the whisky eizures. WHAT MEGRUE SAYS. Con Megrue, as heretofore stats here last night. He makes an interesting statement in regard to the operations of the ricg in the west while he was connected with He says that he testified before the grand in St. Louis that the whisky ring was ° ished in the year 1871, the chief organ- izers being Supervisor McDonald and John A. Joyce. his chief clerk; that nearly every prominent whisky house in St. Louls was conneeted with it. He was chosen as pay- master, am! through him the moneys were disbursed. Joyee reported that he had ef- fected an arrangement with his friend, Chief ‘k Avery, to keep him advised as to fairs in the internal revenue bureau particularly the movemeuts of its a For this service Avery was to be paid one hundred doliars per week, and accordingly, arrived says Megrue, he handed ‘over to Joyce one hundred dollars each week. from September, 1871, to November, 1872, W reption of about fifteen weeks, when he paid over three pundred dollars each week, Joyce re- } Orting that Avery was dissatisfied with the sum heretofe paid him. MEGRUE’S CONNECTION WITH THE RING DISSOLVED. In November, 1° Megrue says his con- nection with the ring ceased. and he was no longer its paymaster. During these fourteen months there passed through his hat.ds about two hundred and eighty thousand dollars, of which between thirty-five and forty thousand dollars was paid to both MeDonald and Joyee. Two-fifths of the whole amount was aid toa man since deceased, for equal dis- ribution between Collectors Ford vl McKee and Houser. Twenty thousand dol- lars was paid to B.P. Brasher, a revenue agent, and various sums, amounting to many thousands of dollars, to subordinate officials. MEGRUE SOURS ON THE RING. Owing to bad treatment on the part of members of the ring Megrue says he deter- mined many months ago to break it up, and accordingly took steps to accomplish the work. He came to Washington, and throngh other pacties set an investigation on foot, which reculted,as he asserts,in the over- throw of the combination. He says that he had interviews with Sclicitor Wilson, and that the latter proposed to employ him, which employment he declined, stating as a reason that his only motive was to get even. He had several’ interviews with E chief of th Washburne sion. whieh resulted in his (Megrue'’s) going to Cinei , Chicago and St. Louis, to ob- tain important evidence for the Treasury Department to aid in convicting the mem- bers of the ring in St. Louis, with the under- standing that his traveling expenses and hotel bills should be paid by the department. Tn this sense Megrue claims he was employed by the department. Megrue further claims that his evidence against Avery before the grand jury in St. Louis was similar to that of four other witnesses, one of whom was Deputy Collector Concannores. THE National Bank notes received at the Treasury to-day for redemption aggregated $585,400.

Which Was won by vori THE UNIVERSITY REGATTA. The Contest at Saratoga To-day. Some the ‘¢ About the Crews, Changes Since 1874, Ete, As stated in yesterday’s STAR, thirteen college crews will take part in the rowing contest on Sarat Lake to-day. Of these Amherst made three miles on the Connecti- cut river in 17 minutes 43 seconds before going to Saratoga. Wesleyan has made 17 minutes 50 seconds at Saratoga. Capt. Hall, of the Bowdoin crew, says his six have made three Miles In 17 minutes 58 seconds, which is bet- ter than they are nerally credited with. The winning time of Jast year, it will be re- membered, was i6 minutes 424 seconds. As the racing rules stand amended, any willful departure of one boat from the line marked out by its own flags is as much a foul as an actual collision with another boat. If the trespass on foreign water be temporary, or plainly accidental, or if the collision be of Such a character as not to injure the chances for victory of the fouled page 42 the referee, in his discretion, may decide the trespass to be ‘no foul.” and the culpable party may still be eligible for victory. Mr. Gunster will start the race, and Mr. Meeker, president of the New York Athletic club, will take the time. Two watches will be carefully com- pared. One will be stopped at the start, and the other at the finish. The difference will be the time made. The master of the crews shows many changes since last year's con- test, which may affeet the finish in the one to take place to-day. As a whole, in age, wright, and physique, the several colleges represented have improved. YALE. Some of the members of Yale's disbanded Freshman are now under the blue colors of the University crew, which were thrown to the breeze from the beat house occupied last year by the Williams crew. In years the Yale crew scores more this year than in 1574; in weight less. Wood. a valuable man, who rowed portbow then, bas been succeeded by one of the transferred Freshman, and some changes of less importance have been made in the substitutes. Cook, the captain, Ken- bedy, Kellogg and Brownell are in their old places. On Friday Hall, substitute, took the place of Chandler. Brownell polls a splendid oar. The strict physical training of Kellogg, together with his abstinence from the smailer viees, has placed him among the most trust- worth, ris strength and endur: Kennedy is a v erful man, and of the best of the ting knowledge and aid to hover between Chandler and Fowler.

COLUMBIA There is a chariness with speculators upon Columbia's chances this year; the crew has used the time for the best advantage since reaching the lake, and has the prestize of the Vietory last year to spur therm aloag. Tueir six won last year, and no change has been made in their positions this year. Frank Rees is coaching crew, which bas also gathered much in the way of disei- pline from older crews on the Harlem. The stroke—the peculiar swift thrust of their arm combining lightness and swiftr which secured to them the victory last year, re-as- sures their backers, who are the most conti- dent, and perhaps the only persons who will not insist on odds being given. Tue Colum- bians are possessed of speed and power, but not giants with Princeton or Yale. HARVARD. Otis, Taylor, and Bacon are the on of last year’s six in the present H University crew. This crew has bee! Strict training since last April, under Rich’ iH. Dana, jr.,a member of the old six. The | friends of Harvard count this a most fortu- nate piece of luck, and many feel disposed to back Harvard against the field this year. The selections to fill the three vacanc were made with grea! care, and it is believe without depreciation of the material of the crew. The stroke has also been changed and modified in their endeavor to catch the E lish touch, which they have heretofore d Yale.

Four of the present six were members of Ue crew of isi4. Mr. Gates, the stroke, has re- tired. Connoissieurs state that the difficalty with Dartmouth has been an overes' of muscle and a lack of rowing knowledge. During their training this year every en- deavor has been put forth to correct this error. The stroke has been changed and the slide limited to four inches. The avera: height of the crew is over six feet. Their shell is 49 feet 6 inches long, 21 inches wide, weighs 150 pounds, and was built by Charles B. Elliott, of Green Point, Long Island.

Their average age is 21, years, height 5 feet 11 inches, and weight 158 pounds UNION Probably inspired with the motto, “In union there is strength,” the college makes the first attempt this season to compete for honors. The crew. although averaging the smallest of any, starts in with lots of mus- cleand pluck. Mr. Rudd is their trainer. Their racing shell is like that of Princeton, and color garnet. HAMILTON.
