Secretary Hunt is taking much interest in the subject of buliding up and equipping a compe- tent navy. In an order issued to-day he says: ‘In order to meet the exigencies of the navy, itis highly important, in the opinion of the department, to present in the annual report of the Secretary at the next session of Congress a practical and plain statement of the pressing need of appropriate vessels in the service at the present time, Such a statement can best be ‘arnished by an advisory board, who may con- sult together and be able to reconcile conflict- ing opinions and theories with reference to the number and class of such vas- sels as should be constructed, and to unite in recommending such a3 Congress would be mort likely toapprove. Accordingly the following officers in the service are detalled to constitute such a board :—Rear Admiral John Rodgers, Commodore W. G, Temple, Captains P. C, Johnson and K. Breese, Commanders H. L. Howisonyk. D. Evans and A. 8, Crownin- shield, Lieuts. M. R. 8. Mackenzie and E. W. Very, Chief Engineers B. F. Isherwood and C. H. Loring, Passed Assistant Engineer C. H.

Their class, size and displacement. The nature and form of their construction. The nature and size of the engines and m3- chinery. The ordnance and armament neces- sary foreach. The appropriate equipment and rigging for each. The internal arrangements of each; and such other details as may seem ne- cessary and proper, and the probable cost of the whole of each vessel when complete and will assemble in Washington city, on the i1th day of July next at 12m., and will report to thedepartment the result ot thelr labors not later the 10th day of November next. Attorney General Town. WHAT BE SAYS ABOUT TIE ATTACKS UPON HIM, Attorney General McVeagh was found in his office this morning, apparently much improved in health from his recent trip to New Eng- land. He had not heard of the assaults made against bim during his absence, and did Dot seem to be disturbed in the slightest degree by the unfounded stories of his intended re- signation. When Mr. MacVeagh’s attention ‘was called to the yarns which the members of the ring had circulated against him, he laughirgly said: “Such tales are unworthy of any notice, The weather has been, I am in- formed. uncomfortably warm here, and tha’ May account for the heat of my opponents, but I make it a rule never to become excited when the temperature is high, and it really is not worth while to pay any attention to such ridiculous statements.” The Attorney General will remain fn Wash- ington during the absence of the President aud members of his Cabinet on their New Eagland tour.

Four Bribery Indictments To-day. THE HENLEY REGATTA. Cornell-a Bad Third. SECRETARY BLAINE AND PERU. THE ALBANY DEADLOCK. An Early Adjournment Probabie, Without an Election—Scheming for m Caucus. [Special Dispatch to ihe Evening Star.) ALBaNy, June 30, 1:30 P, M.—It 1s now becom- ing very apparent that it will be impossiole to hold the legislature here many days longer, election or no election. It is possible that it may disband before the week ends, The feeling for adjourning is growing rapidly. The stal- wart organ throws off all disguise this morn- ing, and calis upon the legislature to adjourn at once, asserting that any person elected Sen- ator by this legislator will not be allowed to take his seat without a prolonged investigation of the charges of bribery and corruption. The latest movement ts the backdoor move of the half-breeds for a caucus. They have come to the conclusion that an election of Sen- ators cannot besecured without a caucus, but as ppegrto oa thelr men by a Niekay or) ledge not to attend a party caucus, t Et Themselves in a dilemma, and are afraid to openly advertise one, They have, therefore, drawn up a cali for a caucus, which requesta the assembly of republicans in a conference to Dominate Senators; the vote to be viva voce; DO person to be deciared nominated he gets ifty-four votes; the caucus not to be held unless sixty-five republicans sign the call, and the nominees to be one haif-breed and one stai- wart. This round robkin document has deen placed in the hands of the half-stalwarts for them to circulate, and use as their incentive, bot that of the half-breeds. As it is, it makes but little headway as yet. Thestalwarts refuse to sign, stating that they want no gagged cau- cus, but one held in accordance with the usages of the party, while the stalwarts’ or this leg FI Claims, this morning, that the time for thi islature to hold a caucus has forever passed. ‘There 1s a restlessness in all the factions, and one of the candidates for Senator has barely escaped indictment by the grand jury.
