On the way to Halifax the | Vandalia will look in at some of the fishing set- tlements. “Room 59” anp OrneR Rooms.—Some of the rooms in the P. 0. department are being r2- paired, repainted and newly frescoed. Room 59 is no longer an object of curiosity. It is per- mitted to retain its secrets without ai forts being made to get at them. Its docrs only open to the initiated. Rock anp Rye.—Mr. Dow, a prominent law- yer of Chieago, is in the city in the interest of a certain brand of “rock and rye” which was put on the market with the proprietary medicine stamp. It was found after the internal revenue bureau had passed favorably upon the article that it was being prepared on an entirely differ- ent formula than the one submitted to the Com- [ missioner of Internal Revenue, and that it | should pay the regular tax levied upon whisky, ie Orders to this effect were sent to the in- | ternal revenue collectors throughout the eoua- try. The manufacturers of the article are now trying to secure again its manufacture as a pro- prietary medicine.

Albert Todd, Ist artillery, is detailed as professor of military’ sci- ence and tactics at the Kansas State Agricul- tural College, Manhattan, Kan. Unirep States M. AGS IN CANADA.—An | investigation by agents of the Post Office de- partment has developed the fact that most of the mail bags used in Canada are the property of the United States. They have gone across the border with the through mails, and have then been devoted to the local mail service. A plan for the assorting and interchange of stray mail bags has been proposed by Postmaster Gen- eral James and assented to by the Canadian au- thorities. CASUALTIES TO STEAM VESSELS THE Last Fis- caL YEaR —Gen. Dumont, supervising inspector of steam vessels, is having prepared a record of casualties during the past fiscal year. The work will be completed in about a week. It will show that omitting the Vera Cruz and Alpena dis- asters, there were fewer casualties from July Ist, 1880, to June 30th, 1881, than for any 12 months preceding since the introduction of steam into navigation. The VeraCruz was wrecked on the Florida coast, and-the Alpena on Lake Erie. They were @oth as far perfect in con- struction and equipment as it is possible to build steamers, but could not with- stand the furious storms in which they were caught. No inspection nor anything else could have saved them. Both of these disasters oc- curred in the first six months of 1880—81. The last six months of that fiscal year show by far fewer casualties than for any preceding six months. Personat.—Chief Engineer Shock, M. de Godefroy and M.

It isan old story now that the President ts “doing remarkably well.” Every day he is bet- | ter and better. All the reports frem the sick room, official and unofficial, continue to be of! the most encouraging character. There are but very fe ~ inquirers at the White House about the President. posted on a tree infront of the White House and distributed around the different depart- ments and also posted behind the plate-glass windows of the drug stores, furnish such good news that the White House is spared from in- quiries about the President. This morning all | that was said at the White House was even of & more encouraging character than yesterd PROPOSED REMOVAL OF THE PATIENT TO SOL- DIERS’ HOM It is probable that before being taken any- where else the President will, as soon as he is able to be removed. be conveyed to the Soldiers’ Home and located in the northwest room of the President's cottage there, which has been se- lected by Mrs. Garfleld for her husband's occu- pancy, as heretofore stated.

The President had for breakfast this morning beefsteak, milk toast and butter boiled in milk. Among the caliers at the White House to-day were Representatives Wilson, VanVoorhis, Capt. Jewett, U. ene J. Smith and C. M. ork. PECTION OF THE WHITE HOUSE DRAINAGE has yet been made by the health authorities. Mr. Robinson, the inspector of plumbing, satd toa Star reporter to-day, that the health depart- ment would not make such an inspection until so requested by Col. Rockwell, the superinten- | | dent of public buildings and grounds. EX-PRESIDENT HAYES’ HOPE. District Commissioner Morgan received a let- ter from ex-President Hayes to-day, in which he expressed a hope for the early recovery of Pres- ident Garfield. THE PATIENT ENJOYS SOME PEACHES. The President continued in amost satisfactory condition yesterday evening. About four o’clock yesterday afternoon he expressed a desire for some frujt. For the first time since Ife has been sick he was allowed to partake of fruit—some Georgia peaches. THE FUND FOR MRS. GARFIELD. The following are among the Washington sub- scriptions to the fund for Mrs. Garfield and her children: W.W. Corcoran, $5.000; Riggs & Co.. 000; W. 8. Roose, #300; Columbia N.

He claims to have originated the idea. He plans to have the children of all colors assemble in proper organizations in the grounds; the white schools on one side and the colored on the other with the Marine band between them. Then the white and colored schools could sing separately and in grand chorus together. He wants the thing to be spontaneous—without any previous arrange- ment being made with the President. LAST EVENING’S BULLETIN. EXecvuTIve Mansion, August 2, 7 p.m.—The President has continued to progress favorably during the day, and appears perceptibly better in his general condition than yesterday, a more natural tone of voice being especially percepti- ble. The appearance of the external wounds at the evening dressing was exceedingly good. That made by the ball is rapidly granulating, while the discharge from the deeper portion of the wound, which is abundant and healthy, comes through the counter opening made by operation. The rise of temperature this after- noon is moderate and attended by no incon- venience to the patient. At present his pulse is 104, temperature 100; respiration 20. DISPATCH FROM THE INTERNATIONAL Y. M. C, A. CONVENTION. The Earl of Shaftsbury, who is presideut of the great convention now in session in Exeter Hall, London, has sent the following dispatch to Mrs. Garfield: “The World’s Conference of Young Men’s Christian Associations, now sitting, records its deep gratitude to God for the perservation of the President's live, and earnest prayer for his com- plete recovery.” To this dispatch Mr. Blaine sent the following reply: Ms irs. Garfield has recetved your dispatch, and requests me to express through you to the World’s Conference of Young Men’s Christian Associations the grateful appreciation of their ious and devoted interest in the welfare of the President.” SICK ROOM DECORATION. An “old physician” writes toa New York lo- cal paper as follows: I read in your Washington dispatch—“Even the stately proportions of the | Washington Monument, upon which the Presi- dent has feasted his gaze fora month, have lost much of their charm for him”—which proms, ime to suggest that his attendants should place in his bed-room at a point of view most agree- able to his sight an easel and on it a fresh’ pic- ture every day. Washington who own fine paintings would gladly lend them for this rote: T have found in my practice, where an illness lasted long, dur- ing which the patient was weak and depressed and speech was forbidden, that such an arrange- ment gladdened and it the patient and hastened recovery.

Whether it is the same yellow dog that-was seen following the President's carriage on day, (as authentically narrated in Tae Star), and since the President was shot has mysteriously reap- peared, from the infinite somewhere, at the White House, is a question yet to be decided. If the identity can be ‘established. the whole tribe of yellow dogs, will be sainted among dogs. The affection lavished apon the white poodle will be transferred tothe yellow dog—now the most despised and exeerated of his race. No white poodle ever distinguished ,himself by such conspienous fidelity te man— |even throwing himself in the way to eatch the assassin’s bullet. A reporter, anxious ¢o obtain | Syme information as to the facts, inquired of Several detective officers who were engaged in the search for the “lost” bullet. They all dis- credited the yellow dog. District “Attorney | Corkhill, when asked his opinion, said very em- phatieally, have the bullet.” He pins his faith te the glazier Guiteau in Jail. STILL UNDER A MILITARY GUARD — ALLEGED “VIGILANT” ORGANIZATIONS—HIS REQUEST TO BE RELEASED ON BAIL. | All requests made at the jail for permiasion to see Guiteau or even to enter the rotunda con- tinne to be blandly refused. The fact that the military guard continuesto be maintained indi- cates that the anthorities apprehend that there is some danger of an attempt being made to cap- ture the prisoner or of his escaping. It is stated that ther e organizations in this city, as well as Baltimore and Philadelphia, whose members are ready to take the law into their own hands if they can get hold of him, One of the anony- mous Communications received by District At- | torney Corkhill shortly after the attempted | assassination notiied him thata large number of young men ef Baltimore had banded | together for the ‘purpose of punishing | Guiteau. The attendants of the jail when asked if there is anything new about Guiteau, invar' bly reply “No.” One of them said toa Star reporter, “If you could see him I don’t thing it would do any good. [am gure he would not say anything at all. He don’t want to talk at all.” District Attorney Corkhill visited Guiteau at the jail yesterday afternoon for the first time since his return from Cape May. Guiteau sent word to him that he had animportant communication to make. When Cdonel Corkhili asked him | what it was, he produced a petition covering | four or five ‘pages, asking to be released from Jail on $15,000 bail. ‘the paper, it is stated, lays special stress upon the fact that the President is now on a fair way to recovery, and he therefore should not be deprived of the privilege of giy- ing bail. This would indicate that Guiteau is well informed about the President’s condition. es. eati, Guiteau and the District Attorney. THE ASSASSIN DOES NOT WANT COUNSEL—HIS PETITION TO BE RELEASED. Col. Corkhitl, the Distriet Attorney, was clip- ping coupons, when a Star reporter dropped into his office this morning, Between the clips the reporter wedged in a question as to whether there was anything new. “Nothing.” . “Wil! you let me have Guiceau’s petition to be released on bail?” “No.” “He sent for you yesterday, did he not?” “I was informed that he wanted to see me. When Iwent there he handed me his appeal to be released on bail. It is no: ready to be pre- sented to court yet.” “‘Has he secured bondsmen?” “It isstated that he does. a0t want counsel?” “No, he does not. He doe not care to col y lawyer. I have told him all along thatif he wanted coun- Sel he could have it.” “It is said also,” remarkea the reporter, ‘that if a reporter saw him, Guitexu would not say anything?” “He would not. He might talk a good deal about other subjects, but he would say nothing about what you would want him to say.” “It is inferred fromthe fact tat Guiteau wants to be released on bail that he knows that the President is recovering?” said the reporter. “He does not know it. There are, I suppose, many ways that he could learn it.’ He kno also thaf it is 30 days since the President was shot, and he can reason from that that the Pres- ident is probably recovering, as he must know that he is alive.” ——— Senators and Senate Employes. TUE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEIR PAYMENT Ma- TURED. Arrangements for paying Senators and em- ployés of the Senate have been perfected, and the financial department of the secretary's office will proceed as usual under the direction of Mr. R. B. Nixon. There were, it appears, several hitches in the matter, the conclusion at one time being that only fhe Senators could be paid. Fi- nally, an order’ of Secretary Windom’s, based upon the order once issued by President Grant for placing funds in the hands of disbursing of- ficers, was given, and under this order Treasurer Gilfillan will be provided with fands to pay all Senate expenses. He has appointed Mr. Nixon, the financial clerk of the Senate, the officer to disburse the fund. July salaries will be paid to- morrow.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., B. Wiley, charged with conspiring to defraud the government in star route mail contracts, was before the U.S. commissioner to-day, and waiving a hearing, was committed in default of $5,000 bail, to answer at the next term of the United States district court. Foreign Events of Interest. THE CORNELL CREW IN VIENNA. 4, August 3.—The Aligemeine ‘t Zei- the Cornell University crew row a match race with an Austrian crew on the day last and were heartily has arrived safely. The selection of the actual Austrian competitors has not yet been made. There are two Austrian crews in hard training. THE LAND BIL. IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Loxpox, August 3.—In the House of Lords last night Lord Selborne, lord high chancellor, said the land bill was fenced in with such safe- | guards as would prevent any undue interference The bill would with the rights of property | strengthen the moral power of the government for the enforcement of law. Lord Cairns (conservative) said the fact that the landlords are suffering more by the present disturbed state of affairs was due to the govern- ment’s abnegation of its primary functions and the encouragement it had given to the agitation; but he was glad, under the circumstances, of the House not coming to an issue on the second reading of the bill, as important amendments in the details of the bill were necessary. The Earl of Kimberley. colonial secretary, hay- ing replied to Lord Cairns, the second reading of the bill was adopted without a division, and the Earl of Kimberley expressed his satisfaction at the tone of the debate, showing the unani- mous opinion that legislation is necessary upon the lines of the government. Lord Denman. (liberal) announced that he would move the rejection of the bill on going into committee, which was fixed for Thursday next. * The Daily News says the committee on the land bill in the House of Lords is not expected to extend over Friday the report, and the third reading will probably be taken on Monday, and the bill may reach the House of Commons on Tuesday. There is a strong feeling on the lib- eral benches below gangway in favor of am- nesty to the Irish prisoners on the oceasion of. passing the bill. Mr. Parnell’s action on Monday checked this feeling, but it is likely to find for- mal expression before the House rises. CHECK TO BRADLAUGH. Nobody will be permitted to accompany Mr. Bradlaugh into the lobby of the House of Com- mons. If Mr. Bradlaugh attempts to force an entrance to the House, Mr. Gladstone will move that he be detained in custody until he apolo- sizes for the attempt to override the decision of ue House and undertakes not to repeat the of- fence. MR. PARNELL’S VISIT TO IRELAND. Loypon, August 3.—It is stated that Mr. Par- nell will, during his stay in Ireland, obtain full particulars in regard to the charges against the suspects, with a view to bringing the whole question of the operation of the coercion act be- fore Parliament before the close of the session. MURDERED BY APGHANS. A dispatch from Lahore to the Times says, nineteen Hazaras and others were murdered in street riots by the Afghans before Ayoob Khan's arrival in Candahar. PREPARING TO SHUT BRADLAUGH UP. Loxpox, August 3.—The Daily News says Mr. Bradlaugh’s formal communication to the house leaves no doubt in regard to his intentions. Rooms in the clock tower have been prepared for him. PAILURH IN PARIS. Panis, August 3.—The Bourse announces the failure of the Continental Water Company, with liabilities of 8,000,000 francs. PANAMA CANAL SURVEY. Paris, August 2.—The report of the French Academy of Sciences publishes the engineer's statement of the preliminary investigations into the geological structure of the Isthmus of Pan- ama at the point to be traversed by the canal. The result is satisfactory, and M. DeLesseps cal- culates that the work can be done considerably under the original estimated expenses. A NOTEWORTHY APPOINTMENT. Loxpon. August 3.—The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News announces that Herr Schleick- man has been chosen under secretary of the home dey ‘ment. The ig giao is note- worthy, from the fact that he is a strict conser- vative, and will direct the reichstag election ar- rangements. FRENCH CAMP AT GOLETTA. Goerra, August 3.—Two battalions of French troops and a battery of artillery have arrived nee and been camped under the walls of the flown.
