NOTHING BUT ROUTINE BUstNEss was trans- acted at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon. | Secretary McCrary was absent, being at bis cfice at the War department. Dr. Woopwortn’s Stccessor.—It is under- stood that the successor to Dr. Woodworth will be taken from the ranks of the surgeons in the marine hospital service in accordance with the | method of promotion adopted by the army and | | bavy in such case: FLOuR FOR TURKEY.—Mr. Heap, U.S. consul general at Constantinople, advises the Depart- | ment of State that a demand for American fl ur will probably arise during the year in that coun- uy. AS a large proportion of the flour imported will be for transportation on animals into the interior, he advises that It be put up in strong sacks. Most of the flour brought from Russia is in sacks or bags holding 50 or 109 pounds each. Mr. Heap renews his recommendation that the United States adopt a rigid quarantine on goeds from Turkey, es] ly on rags, which should be refused admission.

Crabtree desired to plead guilty, but his coun- sel would not permit him todoso. Immedi- ately after the verdict was rendered, the wife and a son of Crabtree entered a plea of gullty.

Besides the case Cabell—there are five others before suit, two having been set specially. “WHE U. S.

This pumber fs nct a true indication of the amount that the government will be called on to pay, for many claims will be disallowed. Commts- sioner Bentley, in his official estimate, put the number of pensioners who would be lezally benefited by the act at between forty-five and forty-si: yusand, representing about ‘,900,000. 11@ still holds to those: were based on official estimates, and does not expect that elther the number or amount will go bigher. Allof the large number of applica- tions which have been received and which will be received hereafter will not be allowed. One cause of mistake of a large number of applicants fs a misunderstandiny Ce true besgen Med the se. A large number of persons who. were granted pensions from the date of thelr disavili- ty have since been granted increased pensions and a certificate given to that effect. These certificates date from the increase, not from the | original pension. The pensioner looking at his certificate and seeing that it is dated after his disability jumps at the conclusion that he ts + entitled to a back pension under the new Dill, | and copsequenuy applies for it. There are a | | large number of such cases. ArMY ORDERS.—The resignation of Second Lieut. Joseph Hall, 14th infantry, has been ac- cepted by the President to take effect May 26th, oral his present leave of absence 1s extended to that date. Capt. C, E. Woodruff, 2d artillery, willreport to the department of the east for assignment to temporary duty at Carlisle (Pa.) barracks. ‘THE INTERNAL REVENUB BILL passed by the | last. Congress makeg so many and radica’ changes In the revenue laws of the country that it necessitates a thorough revision of all the internal revenue regulations.

Na pa WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1879 The Coming Extra CONGRESSMEN NOT HURRY Members of the 46th Congress arrive slowly, and in detachments of one and two, a condition ; of affairs exasperating beyond measure to the candidates for the flesh pots. All told, there is not halfa hundred members here. The hotel registers show up badly, and thus far the speakership claims, if ade up from knowledge only attainable at this point, would seem to consist largely of the votes of “men in bucl ram.” It will be as late as Sunaay before the | contest gets at fever heat. THE RUMOR ABOUT HON. 8. 8. COX. Just now the atr is full of all kinds of rumor, One Is that S. S. Cox will not go 1nto the demo- cratic caucus, but that he will accept the nomt- | nation at the hands of the nationals {f itis ten- | 1: dered him. This on Its face seems untrue, but is | given un alr of probability because Mr. Cox has had frequent confidential meetings with the greenback leaders. CLERK ADAMS AND THE IOWA DELEGATION. Another startling rumor, which is even be- lieved by some, fs that Clerk Adams has de- cided to omit from his roll all of the Iowa dele- gation. It is claimed that, acting as he does In a judicial capacity, he 1s bound to omit the lowa Representatives, because they were voted | for and elected in October, whereas the new constitution adopted directs that Representa- Uves shall be elected in November. If the Iowa. delegation is included in the clerk’s roll the membership of the House will aggregate 2si members, and tt will require a majority of 144 votes to elect a speaker. If. however, that del- egation is excluded, theroll of the House will nly foot up 278 members, and 139 votes only will be required to elect. If the clerk should make this exclusion, it will also BREAK UP THE BALANCE OF POWER now claimed by the greenbackers, and will prevent them from bringing about a dead-lock, as the democrats have more than 139 members with or without Iowa. So far as affecting the votes of either of the Speakership candidates |s concerned, the excluston would not aval! one way or the other. ‘The delegation stands 7 re- publicans and 2 greenbackers, and ent, a the latter will vote for either Randall or BI - burn. The only effect which could be accom- plished would be to destroy the balance of power how claimed by the nationals, aud allow the democrats to complete the House organiza- Uon without the nationals entering the contest as a disturbing faction. It ought to be added that this rumor had its origin among the greea- back men. 4 MIDNIGHT TALK WITH CLERK ADAMS. At midnight last night a representative of THE Stan walked home with Clerk Adams, and communicated to him this rumor. He said that he had not permitted himself to be inter- rogated about the roll, nor had he spoken co2- cerning it with any living soul- “I am not standing on street corners saying what I suall or shall not do,” he added, “and should be very foolish to doso. This much J will say and that. Js, I have not yet commenced making the roll up, and for the reason that 1 have not yet re- ae all of the certificates of the members elect,” AMONG LAST NIGHT'S ARRIVALS was Congressman Morrison, of Illinois, who ‘Will roll up his sleeves and work for Blackburn as soon as any material reaches Washington upon which to work. The friends of Blackburn. say that they will demand a record vote in cau- cus, sc that no member will be permitted to Screen nimeelf behind a secret ballot. The in- dications now are that all of the democratic sick members will be here to take part in the organization. Bland, of Missouri, has already arrived, ard Acklen is so much improved that his physician, Dr. Garnett, says he will have him ready for the democratic caucus to be held on Monday night, THE FRIEND OF DOORKEEPER FIELD deny that he ever made an application to be appointed U.S. consul general to Egypt as a republican. They that while he may have applied for the place indicated, he never did it on the ground that he was a republican, for he ig not that kind of an -‘animal.” CONGRESSMAN WHITTAKER, of Oregon, who took aspecial train to reach Washington, because, if he depended on th: regular facilities he could not be on hand by Monday night, was at Ogden yesterd 5 hours ahead of time, and ought ty be here Moz day morning. THE AWFUL PRESSURE FOR OFFICE. Very few people have any {deact the pressure that is being brought to bear on Senators and Reprecentatives by people who want, 203 about the Capitol. It ts something awful. The southern men are especially persesuted. Seaa tor Gordon has been ill fora few days past with inflammatory rbeumatism. The constart stream of office hunter's, who would not give ‘him a moment's rest. made his condition worse; 80 last night he was very quietly taken over to Baltimore, and his address given to one man, Sworn to secrecy, who is to send him his mail. “GET RID OF THE RULE IN ABOUT THREE MIN- UTES.” | Senator Beck was asked what the democrats would do if the old rule of the Senate which Prohibits the removal of any Senate employee without the consent of the Vice President, should be attempted to be enforced. “Do?” said the Senator. “Get rid of the rule in about | three minutes.” ODDR AND ENDS. Singleton, of Illinois, denies emphatically the statements contained in an interview published in @ morning paper, referring to Lis position on the Speakership contest. ....Blackburn has taken rooms at the National. Rimini Vaux, John C. Bullit, T. D. Pierce and Di Saunders, of Philadel pila, a elm, of and Gen. Ki Reading, are here in i's interest.

LEGISLATION IN APPROPRIATION BILLS.—There having been much written and agood deal more said concerning the efforts of the democrats to repeal the Federal supervisor's law, by inject- ing @ clause in an appropriation bill for that Pp it is but fair to state that the law as Sriginally passed, was on the sundry civil ap- [shoring lon bill, passed at the second session of ie 42d Co} by a republican Congress, and will be found in {ts entirety on page #43, 17th volume U, 8. Statutes at Large. — Fpening é | Death of Surgeon ee Wood- Ui wort Dr. John M. Woodworth, surgeon general of the marine hospital service, died this morning at four o'clock at the Riggs house. His death was caused by a combination of pneumonia, erys'pelas and nervous prostration. He went to bed a week ago last Tuesday. Before his | death he expressed a desire to be buried In Rock | Cleek cemetery. This wish, of course, will be spected. The funeral will take plac idence of Dr. Langdon. of Le Dro! here the body has been removed. Wocdworth leaves a.wife. but no cufldren. His eath 1s the second one of prominent men that has occurred at the Riggs houge this year,Judze Casey having died there. Dr. Woodworth was forty-two years old. Hie was born April 13ta, >in Chemung county, New York. His fami moved to Illinois when he was abvov. He studied medicine and pharmacy, and in is62 graduated as a doctor of medicine at the Chiei- go Medical College. He entered the Union army as assistant post surgeon at Camp Dougla: Illinois. He afterwards joined General She man’s having been appointed assistant surgeon in the volunteer corps. He was with Gen, Sherman in his march to the sea, and in acknowledgment for his services was given the brevet of lieutenant-colonel. In 1863 he was }remoted to surgeon. He was appointed super- vising surgeon general of the marine hos} service in isi, and has since held that pos His work in connection with the investigation and prevention of the spread of yellow fever | and cholera are familiar to all. He was author of a number of valuable medical works. He was the only man that ever successfully at- tempted to procure public health legislation and his unceasing efforts in that direction doubtless hastened his death. His loss will be felt over the entire country. When the ofice of surgeon general of the marine hospttgl service was created in 1si1. he was appoint the position. He made the service what it no Is, A meeting of the chiefs of bureaus of the vetary Sherman to take action conceraing the death of Dr. Wocdworth.

The International Walk. ROWELL STILL AHEAD; ENNIS SECOND. Notwithstanding the price of admission was raised from 50 cents to $1, Gilmore's garden was filled last night by 6,000 persons. There is stiil gieat excitement over the contest, which now seems to Ennis. Harriman’s litant work of Wednes- day seemed to have €xhausted him, and last evening he was Seas off the track be- tween 3 and 5 o'clock. He looked weary and dragged out, and it was rumored that he had broken down, or nearly so. Beti last nignt was 100 to 50 on Rowell, 100 to 10 t Harri- Tan, and 100 to 40 against Ennis. ie tremen- dous pace has told on all the men, but Ennts appears to be the least affected, and he walks and runs ata fine gait and without any sore- ness or, Ce Rowell’s ankle and heel are sald to be troubling him, but this his trainers Hoacpal ny neds and they affirm that he was never in better condition.

He re. ceived bounteous applause and made some very rapid walking. The betting at midnight was 4 to 1 on Rowell, 20 to 1 against Harriman, and 5 tol against nis. Ennis fintshed his 335th mile at 11:08:03. and left the track. Harriman came On at 11:03:30, and walked stiff and lame. He finished bis 325th mile at 12:12:44, and then retired. Rowell came on the track at 10:45 p. m., looking fresh, and started ona brisk trot | He finished his 355th mile at 11:35:15, 5 | At i hen retired. o’clock the score was: Rowell, 360 miles; Enuls, ; Harriman, 326, and all men off the track.
