GENERAL SHARY, surveyor of the port of New York, accompanied by Messrs. Noble and Benedict, arrived here this morning, and are now in consultation w: vrata made in the Surveyor’s office in kK. THE STATEMENT IN A MORNING PAP that Sceretary Schurz has directed that every day lost on account of fen shall be de- dueted from the clerks’ annnal leave of ab- sence, is incorrect. The Secretary has not issued such an order, nur has he aby thought of doing £0. AMONG THE (ALLEKS at the Wiite House to-day were the Secretaries of War and In- terior, the Postmaster General, Gen. Barnes, San Antonio, Texas; Representative Wart, of Pennsylvania; Gen. Cochran, New York; Judge J. J. Martin, Alabama; Mr. Wells, Mississippi; Gen. Sharpe, New York, and Gen. W. P. Walsh, Hot Springs. SECRETARY MCCRARY denies the cor- rectness of an interview with him, printed recently, wherein he is alleged to have made explanations of the action of the Iowa republican convention in tabling a res olution eudorsing the southern policy of President Hayes. The Secretary says he never saw the interviewer, and what is worse, the guessing of the enterprising young man in no manner reilected his sentiments ANOTHER JOLLY JUNKET, ALIAS OFFI- CIAL INSPECTION.—The Baltimore Americ:m of this morning says: Yesterday the custom house was visited by a commission of in- Spection from the Treasury department, con- sisting of General Sinith, appointment clerk: Mr. Tingle, chief of the special agency, and Colenel Martin, special agent, who are making a tour of the different cuslom houses On the Aulantic coast. Tue Makcvs L. Norton who has recently distinguished himself by writing a letter to the President relative to Senator Conkling’s views, was disbarred from practising before the Patent Office four or five years ago. He was charged with falsifying the records of the office in order to put new matter into an old caveat, and thereby anticipating some other Invention; attempting to procure the record of a copy of a deed of assignment as an original deed, AMONG THE MINeERS.—The excursion party, consisting of Messrs, Evarts,-Devens, nd Keim, after visiting B -thlehem, and other points in Pennsylvania, t P tteville last even ny. ‘A recep- ton was heli wt the office of the Miner's Jour- nal, at which many prominent p ople were present.

THE ToTAL PorvLak SURSCRIPTIONS to the new four per cent. loan aggregate $65,515,300. Of this sam Washington city subseribed $63,000, which ts the third largest ved from any city, New innatt alone exceeding the amount, ard the latter city only by $15,000. For thi* $65,000,000 there has already been calles $20,000,000. The syndicate have paid into the treasury $10,000,000 in coin for re- demption purposes, leaving $35,000,000 un- roevided for.

RAILROAD STRIKF. Requisition of Matthews on the President for Troops. This afternoon the Secretary of War re- ceived a telegram from Gov. Matthews, of Wert Virginiaydated at Wheeling, making a formal requisition upon the government for U.S. troops, to be used in quelling the riots, caused by the ex'ended sirike«n the B. & ©. railroad. Immediately upon the receipt of the telegram Secretary Me- Crary proceeded to the White Hoase and sobmitted it to the President. They considered the subject sometime. and deetted that the requisition of Governor Matthews did not co:tain enough informa- on regarding the situation of affairs to warrant the calling out of U.S. troops. The ry of War was instructed, however, graph immediately to Governor Mat- thews asking for full and explicit informa- lion, and after its receipt some immediate and definite action will be taken. It is generally thought that if it is proven that the strikers have interfered with the passage of the U.S. mails, that troops will, withoat doubt, interfere; but tt will be doubtful under ances.

The western train due here at 7:5 o'clock this morning did not arrive until near 12 ; his train brought from Wheeling r Matthews and a company of mili- lla, who were at Martinsburg.

The general sympathy with the men, some Martinsburg people say, is owing tothe fact that uuder the usual arrangements for running freight trairs they were compelled to lay over at Martinsburg sometimes 24 or more hours, and did not receive pay therefor; but, while there, were compelled to pay board, which left them but little to carry home to their families. THE RUSINESS AT THE DFPOT IN THIS CITY is not retarded in the least, either as regards passcnger trains on the Washington branch or westward. The men on this division ac- cept the situation, because the order applies to al, officers and employes, reducing pay ten per cent.

E oS SS of Washi LETTER FROM CAPE MAY. [Correspondence of The Star.} Carr May, July 16. There are seasons—and seasons at allof the summer resorts this year. They differ from former ones just as “the times change and men change with them.” Last year the Cape May scason touched the highest point of suc cess in the Centennial wave of travel. That there should be a reflex this year is as evi- dent as the ebb that follows the flood-tide along these glistening miles of sand. The simost unprecedented cool weather of mid summer and the business depression have made the seaton a late one until within the last few days, when the hotels commenced to fillup. There is now a good prospect of a fairly prosperous time im the rematoing weeks. The “cottage season” was a success long ago. Before the first of this month about eveTy cottage on the island was occupied With the marked reduction in rents, ove- half in many instaners, and in the cost of living otherwise, families bave fouod it much cheaper to occupy a cottage than to go to the hotels. In some of the larger cottages two and even three families live with comfort and even # quiet that cannot be had amid the clatter of the botel piazzas. But for those Who are fond ¢f a ronnd of enjoy morning afterncon concerts of the bands ar ning hops at the ho: tels are tiractive this year especially 1, and [ notice that the by hundreds to ers secure a goodly share of it. This hotel has Bernstein’s band, whieh has been so well known for the past eight seasons in Saratoga, and which is one of Lhe be ‘a the coantry. In & great measure the hops are more largely attended tian for several summers al least, on account of the excellence of the m: room is always in charge of Prof. vomis that contributes to the pleasure of all ent. Heretofore a large number have mere lookers-on, but now all are invited ning there was a very sue-essful german, with one or two new figur which were warmly approved in rounds’ of applause from ihe ladies who attended. IM yEMENTS MADE. There have been some changes for the bet- ter since last season The drive and waik along the beach ‘the boulevanl” the Cape May papers call it—has been repaired and improved where the ocean washed it oat last winter; the pier which the waves ‘took in” last September has been replacet with anew one. beyond the breakers; several new and handsome cottages, on the ocean front, ha e been built, and the place appears to’ have improved in other quarters. As for the beach itself and the bath be nothing new can be have been gool, and ays will be. Although the vere last winter, they did not eut up the sai into bars, but left the beach as smooth and compact ‘as ever. From Cape May light- house to the first life-saving statics, quite four miles away. I walked oa Saturday, at ebb tide, fully four handred feet from the shore, on sand as hard as some of your Washington concrete pavements—and hard- er than some of them—and there was not a Spot in the distance where the driving anid bathing were not excellent. Within the past tied days the tide has been on the flood at the thing hours, from 11 to 1 o'clock, an’ the almost tepid billows have been lined from the Sea Breeze to the Stockton with bathers enjoying the “Cape May ripples” that come roaring in, bursting over their heads. lifting them off of Meir feet, and sending them all sprawling Into the sea foam, ouly to rise again for another plunge through or over the breakers. THE SEASON having opened late will probably be pro- tract'd into September. Congress Hall does hol think of closing till the 5th of Septem- ber.

REDUCTION IN PRICES. There has been some retuc:ioa in the ho'el rates, and good terms can be made for the season. Inducemenis to single gentlemen, who are in great demand, are also held ont more liberally than formerly. The cost of bathing (robe and bath house) has been re- duced 50 per cent.; bat isstiil too high. Taere is no reason why such @ tariff shoul! be levied on the main attraction of Cape May, when It is one-half of even the new rates at Long Branch, Sea Girt, Ocean cily and Rockaway. The priceof warm baths. though, hes been reduced to a reasonable rate. Among the Washington people bere are Rev. J. J. Keane, of St. Patrick's churh: C. EF. Prentiss, president of the German oe ; E.
