That force will number about six hundred. It is well organized and will do good work. General Walker said to-day that all that was wanting to make an almost model organi- zation of clerks is the money to pay them reg- ularly for services rendered. ‘THE APPROPRIATION for the pay of storekeep- ers and gaugers for the present fiscal year will be about $60,000 short of the amount required ‘by law to be paid these officers. ‘they will be paid up to the 3d of the present month, afcer which they will receive no money until the ap- propriation for the next fiscal year becomes avallable—July Ist.

CONKELING SURE TO ComE.—A Chicago admirer of Senator Conkling, who saw him this week, insists that he will be returned as Senator, whether Platt is or not, and represents the latter as entirely willing to give up all chance of his own return to secure that of his friend and former colleague. Mr. Platt, it is satd, makes from $25,000 to $30,000 per year in his business in New York. Naval OrpERS.—Ensign R, C.

They will not, however, give up the fight. The evidence has to be re- Vised by the judge advocate, and the final dis- position of thie case rests with the Prestdent. It claimed by Whittaker’s friends that the find- ing against him ts not in accord with the evi- dence. Upon this claim they will base their efforts with the juage advocate general and the President. Professor Greener, who has been Whittaker’s friend and legal advisor, Guring all of his troubles, 1s still active in hts bebals, and does not CH Sree to give it up until the matter Is finally sevtled. Professor Greener has never received a cent for his services. EXAMINING BOARD APPOINTED —Capt. R. L. Law has been appointed president, and Civil Engineer Sanger, Commander Howlson and Civil Engineers Assersons and Menocal mem- bers of a board to meet at the Washington navy yard next Friday to survey the ordnanea machine shop there, The board will thorouzhly examine the building and report causes which have operated to render its stability insecure; also, ascertain when and under whose superin- tendence the bullding was erecte3, and for how long @ period it has been regarded unsafe. If it ts found that the structure can be repaired, the board will submit an estimate of the prob- able cost to put the building in thorough re- pair, aid report also what arrangements can made for carrying on the operations of the ordnance department in some other building of the yard temporarily. If the entire demolition of the structure is recommended, a plan and estimate for its re establishment may be for- warded with the report of the board for the consideration of the department, PERSONAL.—Senator Edmunds has gone on a fishing visit to the Restigouche, having re- ceived an invitation from the Canadian min- ister of fisheries to fish for salmon in a portion of that river reser ron oe several years Dae [aS yur poses. nett, of Ps at the Riggs —Rev.

There has been considerable discussion among the persons interested in the star route Prosecutions about the employment of addi- tional counsel to present the government's case. Mr. Cook will lay the evidence on which an Indictment is to be asked before the grand 2, and he will baginr age 3 perform the it of the routine work. The employment of some lawyer of national reputation to assist in the trials has been talked of, and the names of Wm, A. Beach, of New York,® and Benjamin Harris Brewster, of Philadelphia, have ben suggested in this connection. ig one great lawyer who is thoroughly familiar with every detail of the cases, and who is pre- eminently fitted by reason of his knowledge and ability to direct the trials. Attorney Gen- eral MacVeagh is the man, and it 1s reported that he wil conduct the prosecution in person, Nothing of interest has transpired at the Post OMice department to-day. The gentlemen en- Gaged in room 69 are arranging their facts in sbape to be easily presented to Une grand jury. The witnesses who will be asked to go before that body will probably all be here by the end of next week, and itis hoped that the grand jury will be prepared to act finally in the matter before the middie of July. There has been considerable comment re- garding ‘the selection of two membersof the eg fury—. Schutter and Andrew Langdon. ‘he former was @ fresco painter at the depart- ment, and was recently investigated by a com- mission appointed by the Postmaster General, While all the facts adduced by the investiga- tion have not béen made public, it is known that Mr. Schutter’s innocence of certain ques- tionable ae was not vindicated by the inquiry.

REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATORS—IT3 DAMAGING CHARACTRR—CHARGES LIKELY TO BE MADE— PROBABLE TREASURY CHANGES. Secretary Windom said to-day to Taz Srax reporter, that he did not think that he would give out for publication the report of the com- mittee which has been at work looking after the affairs of the Treasury expediters, He said the investigation was made for his o«n use and not for the pubilc. It is known beyond a doubt, however, Unat the report cannot, in even. the slightest degree, be toward a whitewash'ng document. It shows how things have been ran In Pltney’s cfiice, and how others outside that cflice were connected with him. The Secretary sald to day that no changes or removais in con- nection with the report had been determined on as yet. There {s stil no doubt but that changes will be made. It 1s stated by some that they will occur on the ist pr@xtmo. Others gay that they will happen more quickly than that. The changes will not leave untouched any of those who have been found implicated in Treasury expediting. There was a report last night that Assistant Secretary Upton, Lamphere and Pitney had resigned. Secretary Windom satd to-day that If they had he knew nothing about it. Iv. seems to be pretty gener- ally understood that Major John M. Carson will be made Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. When the changes that will be made are con- summated portions of the réport of the investi- gating committee wiil come out, as they will be necessary to explain why the changes are made, The sum of $100 was to-day turned into the Treasury by an outsider, who had bought horses of the Pitney management of the Treasury contingent fund. Tais restitution was made because of the warmth of the scent. A city bookseller yesterday turned into the Treasury—or that sum was turned in in bis name—the amount of about $650 for overpayment for file- holders. This is the case mentioned some time ago where that sum of money went out for file-holders, which never came in It was alleged that Secretary Sherman had applied the money to paying for his campaign print- ing.

The first was the marriage of Rev. Charles Herr (son of Mr. A. H. Herr), and Miss Helen Dougal (second daughter of Mr. W. H. Dougal), both of whom have passed their childhood in the lovely surrqundings of the heights. The ceremony, which took place at the residence of the bride’s parents, on Road Street, was performed by Rev. Dr. Samuel H. Howe, of West street Presbyterlan church, Georgetown, assisted by Kev. Dr. Smith, senior pastor of Eutaw Place Presbyterian church, Baltimore. Only the relatives aid a few ott mate friends of the parties were present at the ceremony, but it was followed by a reception which brought together a large and brilliant company, coming and going from 7 until 9 o'clock. The house and grounds were beauti- fully embellished with flowers and rare plants. The light and showy dresses appropriate to the Season made a most attractive spectacle; a handsomely spread table was filled with dell- Cacles. and the scene throughout was a most fairy-like and memorable one. The bridal Presents were both numerous and elegant. After the reception the newly married couple teti for New York, whence they sall to-morrow for Europe, where they will spend between three and foursnonths in travel. After their return they will settle In Baltimore, where Mr. Herr has been called as assistant pastor of the Eutaw Place Presbyterian church. The other wedding referred to was that of Mr. George A. King, arising young lawyer of Washington, residing on M street, to- Miss Ada Edmopston, daughter of Mrs. Marion Ed- monstop, of Montgomery street. This took place at the Dumbarton etreet M.E. church, and was quite largely attended by friends of the young coupie. At 7.30 o'clock the bridal party: gga up the main aiste, [eee by he ushers, Messrs. Woodward and King. Mrs. Edmonston gave her daughter away, Rev. J. McKendree Reiley, pastor, forming the ceremony. There were neither brides! nor groomsmen. After theservices Mr. and Mrs. King held a reception at the residence of the bride’s mother, and later in the evening started for a tour southward. There Was & gee wedding at one o'clock to- day, at the Memorial Lutheran church, at ‘Thomas Circle, the contracting parties being Dr. Philo H. Bennet, a young physician of New York, and Miss Hattie V. Davis, daughter of the late James Y. Davis. Dr. Butler 0! At two o'clock the couple left for a trip north, and will be absent about twoweeks.

FROM ALBANY TO-DAY. The Bribery Quest. The Voting for Senato ASCOT RACES TO-DAY. A REMARKABLE SUICIDE. THE ALBANY AFFAIR. The Bribery Investigation—A Black Hecord—No Stain Upon Depew or Robertson—No Signs of an Elec- tion. [Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.) ALBANY, N. Y., June 15.—Evidence wormed Out of Senator Sessions illustrates several dark chapters In the past history of crooked oper- ations at Albany and explains some events heretofore a mystery, except to“the partic!- pants, He admits a disreputable transaction with Mr. Forsyth, of Tro:, in the famous Albany bridge contest, in which he received a check on an agreement to defeat the Dill, but, failing, hired a race horse and went to Troy and drew the money on the check before its ayment could be stopped by reason of the ‘allure to defeat the bill. He admitted that he received large sums of money while holding the position of deputy clerk, to use for lobby pur- poses; of taking part and receiving money on the Chamberlin bill and the Littlejohn post office site bribery operation in 1361; of being the companion of and rooming with O 8. Winans, when the latter left his party and saved Tweed’s schemes in 1871; of having been for yearaa sobbyist in Afbany and Washington, and turn— ing up here and participating In nearly every scandalous operation during the last twenty- five years, A significant point is his admission that after his first talk with Bradley at the Delavan House, the occasion when Bradley swears that Sessions offered him $1,000 and he refused, that he (Ses- sions) went up stairs to Barber's room, also the King of the lobby. This, with his admitting all of Braaley’s statements to be true, exe ‘pt the offer and payment of money, is maintained by Bradley's friends as making out a presumable case. The past. record of Sessions, as sworn to himeelf, some ot which he glories 1n a3 showing his own shrewdness, would seem to give color to the charge of Mr. Bradley. There are several chapters yet to be revealed in Sessions’ history. One ts his indictment for subornation of perjury and the destruction of the records before a trial could be reached. In fact his whole record is being shown up as a black one. itis generally admitted here that of all the halt-breed leaders in the legislature Mr. Rob- ertgon isthe only one with an unassailable record and free from taint; and this fact ex- plains why, in former contests, they all rua when the fight became hot. It has only beep since Mr. Robertson became a leader of his wing that they have stood firm to the last. What has been shown thus far gives the Im- reseion that li sums have been expended, ut the investigation has only commence. Some forty witnesses have been placed on the lst by the Conkling men to be summozed by the committee, and a state of affatra of a start- ae character 18 promised before the matter ends, In all the talk, exposures and testimony not a whisper has been heard of intimation that Mr. Depew has used any money or couni banced it in apymanner. He appears to talk than more surprised at the heey ipl an his Opponents, and declares It all a mystery to him, for he had not received the remotest in- Umation that any of his friends were intending to use money in his bebalf. He certainly has not the means to use for himself. It ig apparent that Mr. Conkling gives no Piouent to his own election, but is devoting all his time and energies to unearthing the use of improper means, determining, if possibie, to make @ campaign of exposure of his enemies as far as the election of Senators 1s concerned. No one now sees the end of the dead-lock or can pat a@ way out. The half-breed leaders admit that the only possib!e way out ts for a combination between the stalwarts and half breeds which will recelve the supporc of Mr. Conkling and his friends. The half-breed leaders Insist that Mr. Depew shall b2 one of the Senators named in such combini- Yon, and that Conkling must not be the other. The Conkling men declare they will not enterinto a combination that will make Depew a Senator, and that Conkling must b2 one of the Senatora ip any combination. There they stand, with the haif-breeds becoming more uneasy every hour. Some of them are com- mencing to attack Gov. Corneil in their speech, and there seems to bea positive inability to unite their scattered forces on any candidate for Mr. Conkling’s successor. it 1s probable that Depew’s vote will increase three or four during the week.
